Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

However, the next second, he collapsed to the ground.

Because a magnificent tiger, ten feet tall, appeared behind Chen Ge!

puff!

"Useless things!"

The tiger stomped out with its front paws, crushing Chen Ge's body.

Even so, Chen Ge's jaw continued to open and close.

However, due to the damage to his vocal cords, he was unable to produce any sound.

"tiger?"

"Mountain Lord, may I ask what offerings you wish to make?"

"If you need it, please let me know, and I will definitely have someone buy it!"

Having regained his composure, Zhao's father struggled to his feet and spoke shakily to the tiger before him.

"Tribute?"

"I think you guys are pretty good."

The tiger grinned, its scarlet tongue licking its palate, releasing a pungent, fishy stench.

"You eat people?"

"You actually eat people?!"

"Aren't you afraid of incurring the wrath of the immortals?!"

Zhao's father was pale, without a trace of color.

He had encountered such sentient beings in his business dealings, but he always managed to live peacefully by providing them with proper care.

The creature so blatantly eats people, isn't it afraid that some passing expert will kill it?

"Heh, a bunch of clay idols, barely able to protect themselves, yet they have time to deal with me?"

The tiger shook its head, a hint of disdain flashing in its cruel beastly eyes.

Humans have started eating each other, so what's wrong with it eating a few people to aid its cultivation?

Then, its gaze fell on Jingming, and saliva dripped from its mouth full of fangs.

“This little baby tastes good. Offer him to me and I can let you leave this place.”

The tiger raised its paw and pointed with one of its sharp claws at Jingming, who had been standing motionless to the side of Zhao's father.

Upon hearing this, Jingming's gaze sharpened.

You beast, you've already chosen your own death!

"Impossible! Please, Lord Mountain, propose other conditions!"

"Even if it's just three kinds of livestock or nine kinds of animals, I will definitely offer them all!"

Father Zhao shook his head repeatedly.

You cannibalistic beast! Don't believe a word you say!!

The others, on the other hand, were quietly gathering their sleeves or touching the hem of their clothes.

In chaotic times, those who venture out to do business, escorting large quantities of goods, are not easy to deal with.

"So, you're all going to stay here?"

"Let Benshan guess why you're so bold."

"Is it because they have foreign guns?"

The tiger took a step forward, creating a gust of wind.

Upon hearing this, Zhao's father's pupils constricted.

The other party must have seen foreign guns before to say that, and since they can say that, it means they are not afraid of foreign guns.

Thinking of this, a trace of despair and resentment flashed in Zhao's father's eyes.

He should have brought out a foreign cannon with him this time!

This beast has really gone too far!

"Humans, make your choice."

“Leave this baby behind, and you may go.”

"Otherwise, you'll all die along with this little kid."

"I imagine you don't want to die along with this little baby, do you?"

The tiger snorted and glanced at the crowd with disdain.

They truly used all sorts of tactics: appealing to emotions, reasoning with people, and even coercing and bribing!

"Father, it seems that I will no longer be able to serve you by your side and fulfill my filial duties at your bedside."

Jingming sighed softly, and as Zhao's father cupped his hands in greeting, he said in a low voice.

"Zhu'er!"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Zhao's father trembled involuntarily, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes.

I finally had such an obedient and sensible son, and now he's going to be gone?!

In response, the tiger couldn't help but lick its lips.

Such tempting flesh, he had never tasted it before!

Chapter 26 Nezha Subduing the Tiger

Sensing the three consecutive changes in "mental fluctuations" around him, Jingming smiled slightly.

Heroes and gods are meant to appear at this moment.

"Father, believe me."

Jingming, who was being held in Zhao's father's arms, muttered something under her breath and then broke free from his embrace.

Then, to Zhao's father's astonishment, Jingming strode towards the tiger.

His son has only been a disciple for a few days. How could he possibly have the ability to subdue this man-eating tiger?

"Young Master Zhao, don't make a mistake! At worst, we'll fight alongside these beasts!"

"That's right, that's right! Without Master Zhao's care, we'd all be nothing but dust by now!!"

Seeing Jingming, a small child, facing the ferocious tiger that was ten feet tall, a shout rang out from the crowd.

"Roar!"

However, with a roar from the ferocious tiger, they all vanished without a trace.

The tiger's roar had a soul-crushing effect!

"You little brat, have you been trained?"

The ferocious tiger crouched down, its greedy gaze sweeping over every inch of Jingming's exposed skin.

Fragrant!

It smells absolutely delicious!

If he eats this little baby, he will become a true mountain king who roars through the forest!

"Little cat, since you know all this, why don't you quickly surrender!"

Jingming looked up, his gaze fixed intently on the ferocious tiger before him, and spoke.

"Roar!"

"Hahaha, little kid, what a big mouth you have."

"Even those who cultivate themselves, like myself, have eaten it."

"Full of aroma, excellent meat quality!"

"But for you, it's far from enough. Just one sniff makes me feel a restless urge."

"Don't worry, little one, I have a big appetite. I'll down it in one gulp, and I won't let you feel any pain!"

The mountain lord let out a low roar, opened its blood-red maw, and suddenly swallowed Jingming whole.

"Zhu'er!"

"Master!"

Upon seeing this scene, everyone gritted their teeth and their eyes widened in fury, their emotions reaching their peak.

"Hey, little cat, since you're going to rebel, don't blame me!"

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Jingming braced himself with both hands, using them to block the tiger's upper and lower jaws!
