The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Tiger has had a very unpleasant few days.

Ever since we found out that Skinny Monkey had gone to stay at Instructor Chen's house at Zhenyang Martial Arts School.

Tiger knew something was wrong.

Chen Xianli is a master of the second stage of Qi and Blood Transformation. That strange boy, once he obtains Chen Xianli's true teachings, will probably become a real threat to him.

So he arranged for the head constable of Changjiang County to help him with his business.

Unexpectedly, before things could even get going, the Baiyang Sect started an uprising in Changjiang County.

Not only did Lu Xiao, this jinx, suddenly appear, but Chen Xianli also became the rebel leader who controlled the Baiyang sect followers within a radius of 800 li.

As if things weren't going to go wrong, this news really startled Tiger.

He didn't connect Lu Xiao with "Skinny Monkey," but Chen Xianli's power and influence were enough to give him a hard time.

Upon receiving the news, Tiger Lord intended to seek refuge with a nobleman in the inner city, but Yuezhou Prefecture was completely surrounded by the Baiyang Sect, allowing people to leave but not enter.

With Tiger's abilities, he could have easily slipped into the city when the defenses were weak.

However, he was frightened by the White Sun Sect's formation outside the city and retreated directly back to his lair.

Looking at the wealth and dancers in the house, Tiger was reluctant to flee to the north, so he chose a courtyard with an underground river, thinking that even if "Skinny Monkey" brought soldiers to capture him, he could escape by relying on his swimming skills.

So he stayed there in a panic, but every day he dreamed of "Skinny Monkey" leading people to capture him.

Upon hearing his subordinate report that soldiers from the White Sun Sect were passing by, he was startled.

He now has an almost paranoid reaction to the words "Baiyang Sect".

But thankfully, I heard it was just a disturbance, which put my mind at ease.

He pondered to himself, "Since they're here to cause trouble, they're obviously just soldiers looking to make some money, not specifically targeting me. In that case, I should be able to get rid of them by spending a little money."

Just as he was about to have his subordinates fetch some silver for the soldiers, he reconsidered and felt that doing so was somewhat inappropriate:

"No way! If a squad of soldiers comes, I'll have to give them money to appease them. If these scoundrels spread the word in the camp and see me as an easy target, other scoundrels will come and try to take advantage of me. It'll never end, and no amount of money can satisfy them."

Reflecting on his own past behavior and putting himself in others' shoes, he found it increasingly reasonable.

"I should first intimidate them until they know that I am a skilled fighter with a transformed Qi and Blood here, so they know that I am not someone to be trifled with. Then I should give them some money. That would be the proper way."

Having made up his mind, Tiger's expression changed, and he angrily shouted at his subordinates:

"How dare you cause trouble here! Ah Shui, gather everyone and show them who's protecting this place!?"

. . . . . .

The soldiers that Ji Chen brought had no intention of holding back after he gave the order to kill. They used whips and sticks to beat the manager mercilessly.

From the initial powerful screams to the low sobs and pleas for mercy, and then to the lifeless state of exhaling more and exhaling less, it only lasted a little over ten minutes.

That's enough time for Tiger to get here.

When Tiger arrived, he was quite imposing, and with his strong physique, he was truly menacing.

But when he saw Ji Chen's bald head from afar, his heart skipped a beat, and his momentum immediately weakened by three points.

It is said that Lu Xiao, the "disaster star" of the Baiyang Sect, has a shaved head.

Despite his fear, Tiger still held onto a sliver of hope, comforting himself that he was merely a follower imitating that madman, yet a sense of unease arose within him.

It's getting closer.

Tiger noticed that the madman's follower looked extremely young, and...

"Why does this look so familiar...?"

Tiger felt a sense of unease.

He suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the same "skinny monkey" who always appeared in his dreams...

Skinny monkey... ...

Monkey... ...

Tiger's expression changed drastically. Disregarding his image in the eyes of his men, he turned and ran.

"Tiger Lord!"

"Boss!"

Tiger's henchmen exclaimed in surprise, not understanding why their boss had suddenly run away.

However, some of the quick-witted henchmen had already pieced together some clues from Tiger's recent behavior, realizing that Tiger's enemies had arrived. After realizing this, they fled in the opposite direction from Tiger.

Ji Chen chuckled softly. He had already noticed the arrival of this group, but he didn't know if it was Tiger, so he didn't want to alert them.

"Skinny Monkey" was of too low a status. Tiger's subordinates were all big shots he couldn't afford to offend in the past. Occasionally, when he ran into Tiger, Tiger was always surrounded by a group of henchmen. "Skinny Monkey" didn't dare to look directly at such a big shot as Tiger, so naturally he didn't have a clear impression of Tiger.

Seeing Tiger's panicked behavior and the skill he displayed while escaping, Ji Chen immediately took the initiative.

One step is enough to cover a distance of over ten feet.

Although Ji Chen had never practiced light-body skills, his physical abilities alone allowed him to run faster than a cheetah.

With each step he took, he stomped a deep hole in the muddy ground of the market, splashing up countless clumps of mud that rained down on the onlookers.

Ji Chen took only seventeen steps, covering more than 500 meters, and arrived behind Tiger Lord amidst the gasps of the onlookers.

Tiger was utterly horrified.

The commotion behind him was astonishing. Ji Chen's momentum, like a giant bear charging towards him, made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Moreover, he had only run twelve steps when the mud that splattered from behind like bullets made his back ache.

The physical pain was a minor matter; the strength and speed of the person behind him were the real threat to his life.

Tiger gritted his teeth and desperately urged his vital energy to escape.

The veins in his thighs bulged out, writhing under the skin like earthworms. Some of them couldn't withstand the pressure and burst open with a few "pops," staining his trouser legs bright red.

"Just ten more steps... just ten more steps and I'll be at the river..."

He was panting heavily, his ruptured lungs hissing like leaky bellows, his pupils fixed on the river in the distance, where the shimmering waves seemed to reflect a glimmer of hope for life.

Click! Click! Snap!

A massive, muscular arm suddenly reached out from behind, its iron-like fingers first crushing the shoulder blade, then grinding the arm bone, and finally twisting the entire arm into a pretzel.

Tiger was unable to resist; the hand gripping his shoulder vibrated strangely, shattering all his resistance.

Before he could feel any pain, he felt a dizzying sensation and was suddenly lifted into the air, with the wind whistling in his ears.

"boom!"

The moment his back hit the ground, he heard the crisp sound of his spine breaking.

Amidst the flying dust, the last thing to catch the eye was the young man with a buzz cut who still bore the marks of being "skinny."

"So... you're Lu..."

Watching Tiger slowly pass away, the muscles on Ji Chen's thick arms gradually receded.

Now that Tiger Lord has been killed, it's time to see the true value of the territory and valuables that Tiger Lord was protecting for him.
