Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 26 How to Get the Heavenly Sword

In fact, as early as last night, the tiger demon felt that he had lost contact with the ghost.

However, it doesn't like to move around at night, so it only came down the mountain this morning and followed the scent left by the ghost.

Seeing the young man with a sword in front of him, the tiger demon had already guessed what happened last night.

"I was the one who killed that evil spirit. What do you think?" Lu Zheng was not afraid and directly admitted what he had done.

The tiger demon didn't expect Lu Zheng to answer so readily, and didn't seem to be afraid of it.

It thought for a moment, then muttered, "Man, you're quite capable of killing that little ghost. Are you a scholar, a warrior, or even a Taoist priest?"

Lu Zhengdao: "You know a lot."

The tiger demon raised his head slightly and said proudly, "Because I have eaten all three types of people! In terms of meat, warriors have the strongest flesh; scholars have tender skin and taste pretty good. However, after killing them, you have to let the bodies sit for a while to let the aura dissipate before they are delicious..."

"Oh." Lu Zheng's tone was calm.

Seeing that he had failed to scare Lu Zheng, the tiger demon asked again: "From your appearance, you look like a warrior?"

"Sorry, I'm a scholar." Lu Zheng said lightly.

The tiger demon looked at Lu Zheng carefully. Apart from his fair and delicate appearance like a scholar, his temperament and posture did not seem to be that of a scholar.

The scholar it met before was a Confucian and Taoist student with a literary air. When he saw it, he was scared half to death. He was not as steady as Lu Zheng.

It subconsciously smacked its lips, its tiger eyes gleaming with anger as it savored the food: "Scholar, I haven't eaten this in a long time."

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes, "Really? If you didn't eat it, then take my arrow!"

As he spoke, Lu Zheng inserted the long sword in his hand in front of him, waved his hand, and a treasure unfolded, and immediately a righteous spirit emanated from him.

But in the blink of an eye, Lu Zheng held a longbow like a full moon and shot an arrow at the tiger monster.

His movements were smooth and the arrows he shot out were as powerful as thunder, not giving the tiger demon much time to react.

The tiger demon was startled. Its body was too big to avoid the arrow, so it moved subconsciously. Its tiger claws as big as a palm fan condensed a strong demonic aura and it quickly slapped the arrow.

The arrow transformed from the righteous energy directly penetrated the evil spirit and entered the tiger's claws.

The tiger demon only felt a sharp pain in his palm, and a special aura was rushing through his meridians, destroying his body.

"Woo..."

The tiger demon was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but let out a low growl.

It channeled its own strength towards the injured tiger paw, and only then did it eliminate the aura.

The tiger demon shook his claws, which still ached slightly, feeling confused and uncertain.

It never thought that Lu Zheng had such ability. It was different from what it imagined. Is he really a scholar?
On the other side, Lu Zheng took out another cultural treasure.

"Heaven and earth have righteous energy, which flows in all forms."

The cross inscription was activated, and the righteous energy within it flowed within a two-meter range around Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng released nearly three feet of his own righteous energy and directly added two barriers to himself.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zheng was as calm as water and rushed towards the tiger monster with sword in hand.

Before the person arrived, the tiger demon could already feel the discomfort brought by Lu Zheng's aura, which was similar to the scholar he had eaten before, but even worse.

What a scholar...The tiger demon is now sure of Lu Zheng's identity.

When it saw Lu Zheng approaching, it suddenly opened its mouth.

"Roar!"

A tiger roared like thunder in the sky, and a strong wind carrying evil and murderous aura blew towards Lu Zheng.

Even though he was protected by his righteous spirit, Lu Zheng's ears were buzzing due to the roar, and a fishy smell hit him in the face.

Lu Zheng remained calm as usual, performing Tai Chi sword moves. His body moved gracefully, striding close to the tiger demon and striking with his sword. The tiger demon was massive, but also extremely agile. It leaned slightly and swung its tail, which was as thick as an adult's thigh.

Lu Zheng slashed the tiger's tail with his sword, and it was like slashing on an iron wall, making a sound of metal and stone.

The tiger's tail swept and rolled, throwing Lu Zheng out with his sword.

Lu Zheng retreated several feet and barely managed to stabilize his body.

The tiger demon took advantage of the righteous spirit and pursued Lu Zheng, pouncing on his prey like a hungry tiger, pressing its huge body towards him.

Lu Zheng reacted quickly, took a step forward, and dodged to the side.

The tiger demon was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and swung out a palm to slap Lu Zheng hard.

Lu Zheng quickly held his sword to block in front of him, but he was still knocked away by the huge force and fell to the ground in a mess, but he stood up quickly.

"Cough cough..."

Lu Zheng felt his qi and blood disordered, and his chest ached slightly. He couldn't help coughing a few times and exhaling a few breaths of foul air before he could barely suppress the discomfort.

Still lacking combat experience... Lu Zheng sighed in his heart.

He still stood there with his sword in hand, on guard against the tiger demon not far away.

The tiger demon stood there and did not continue to attack. Instead, he said, "Scholar, I overestimated you. I thought you were very capable. Apart from your strange literary aura, you are not as good as a warrior in combat. After all, you are just a scholar and cannot withstand a single blow."

Faced with the tiger demon's contempt and belittlement, Lu Zheng felt no ripple in his heart.

He just smiled and said, "You are indeed right. I don't know how to fight at all."

"Hmm?" The tiger demon was somewhat surprised and puzzled when he heard this. "If that's the case, you still dare to fight me? Are you here to die?"

Lu Zheng remained calm and composed, tapping the sword lightly with his fingers, making a crisp sword sound.

"Because you don't know how, you have to learn. You always have to find some monsters and demons to use as whetstones, right?" Lu Zheng said lightly.

The tiger demon thought for a while and understood what Lu Zheng said.

Then, the tiger demon grinned and said, "If you want to use me as a whetstone for your sword, then you have come to the wrong person."

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Indeed, you are stronger than I thought, so I am ready..."

"What?" The tiger demon was curious and wanted to hear what was going on.

However, Lu Zheng stopped talking and took out another piece of paper.

Again? The tiger demon's eyes flickered, ready to strike back and give Lu Zheng a quick death.

But before it could move, it felt a strong murderous intent.

The cultural treasure shone brightly, enveloping Lu Zheng completely, like a shining sun.

Lu Zheng spoke slowly, his voice as loud as a bell.

"How can I get the Heavenly Sword to cross the sea and kill the whale!"

The righteous energy in Lu Zheng's body was poured into the sword in his hand, instantly forming a righteous sword energy that was as bright as a rainbow.

With Lu Zheng's current proficiency in swordsmanship, he is unable to unleash sword energy at all.

But with the help of Wen Bao, he not only formed sword energy, but this sword energy even contained a hint of majestic sword intent.

The sword was swung out, and its force was a thousand times stronger than the sword moves Lu Zheng had used before.

The tiger demon had no time to dodge and was cut down instantly.

There was a deep wound on its back, deep enough to see the bone, and bright red blood was flowing out.

The remaining mighty sword energy in the wound caused the blood to flow uncontrollably.
