Chapter 146: Tiger Roar... Meow

"I can't hear you. Master, what did you say? I can't hear you!"

As he spoke, Xu Jie even pretended to touch the array's light curtain, muttering with a confused face.

"Strange, when did the array at the offshore camp get upgraded? It even blocks sound."

Watching Xu Jie's one-man show, Venerable Hong laughed—a laugh born of extreme rage.

"Boy, I know you can hear me. Master will say it one last time: do not challenge Master's bottom line again. Now, immediately, at once, send the boy Ye Changqing out to me, otherwise..."

Just as he was speaking, a heaven-shaking tiger roar suddenly came from the distant sky. Everyone looked toward the sound and saw the Black Tiger Demon King galloping over from afar, looking somewhat disheveled.

His expression was ferocious, demonic energy surged around him, and behind him, a massive black tiger intimidated all directions.

"The Black Tiger Demon King..."

Seeing this, the women of Jade Maiden Peak cried out in shock. They had been confused the whole time, but now, even a Demon King had appeared. What was going on today? Why was it so lively?

Locking his gaze instantly on Venerable Hong and Qingshi outside the array, the Black Tiger Demon King roared angrily.

"Venerable Hong, Qingshi, you Dao Yi Sect people go too far! This King..."

The Black Tiger Demon King was truly furious, but he wasn't entirely irrational. He had come only to demand an explanation from Venerable Hong, so he didn't attack directly.

Battles between Demon Kings and Saints rarely broke out easily, as they could easily trigger a full-scale war between the two factions.

The Black Tiger Demon King also felt that Qingshi wouldn't attack casually.

After all, Tiger Ridge and the Dao Yi Sect, though one human and one demon, were naturally opposed, but over so many years, a balance had been formed. No one would easily break it.

But that was under normal circumstances. Venerable Hong was currently on the verge of a breakdown, angered by his own rebellious disciples; he was like an active volcano, and the slightest vibration would cause a total eruption.

And right now, the arrival of the Black Tiger Demon King had undoubtedly become the final straw that broke the camel's back.

So, before the Black Tiger Demon King could finish, Venerable Hong turned to look at him. The coldness in his eyes made the Black Tiger Demon King freeze, and the words in his mouth stopped abruptly.

This guy wasn't right.

Finally realizing that Venerable Hong's condition was abnormal, it was too late. Before the Black Tiger Demon King could figure it out, Venerable Hong had already appeared before him, holding a long sword that looked extremely crude and even rusted.

"You want an explanation, right?"

He spoke, but there was no trace of emotional fluctuation in his words.

The anger, resentment, and killing intent radiating from him made the Black Tiger Demon King instinctively take half a step back. This old thing was in a very bad state today.

"Venerable Hong, calm down. This King..."

Not daring to provoke him further, he thought about how to phrase his intentions politely. Unfortunately, before the Black Tiger Demon King could finish, Venerable Hong had already slashed out with his sword.

"You want an explanation? I'll give you an explanation."

"Holy sh*t, calm down, Venerable Hong!"

"I am very calm right now."

As the sword edge swept past, the terrifying sword intent caused the surrounding space to distort.

Facing this sword from Venerable Hong, the Black Tiger Demon King felt a chill rush straight from his back to his head.

Although Demon Kings and Saints were at the same cultivation realm.

Demon Race: Half-Demon, Mortal Demon, Mystic Demon, Purple Demon, Primordial Demon, Earth Demon, Heaven Demon, Demon King, Demon Emperor.

Human Race: Qi Sensing, Meridian Opening, Golden Core, Purple Mansion, Nascent Soul, Dharma Aspect, Heavenly Human, Saint Realm, Great Saint.

But the Black Tiger Demon King was only at the early stage of the Demon King Realm, while Venerable Hong was at the Perfect Completion of the Saint Realm, only half a step away from the Great Saint Realm. There was still a gap in their strength.

While speaking, the Black Tiger Demon King didn't dare to take the hit head-on and retreated rapidly, barely dodging Venerable Hong's sword.

"Damn it, Venerable Hong, calm down! This King..."

There was no chance. Before he could finish, Venerable Hong slashed out with another sword. For a time, a great battle between a Demon King and a human Saint erupted in the sky.

Inside the array, the disciples who saw this scene swallowed their saliva nervously, especially Xu Jie.

It seemed Master was truly not lightly angered.

"It's also the Black Tiger Demon King's fault. Why come to trouble Master at a time like this? Isn't he just walking into the line of fire?"

The Jade Maiden Peak disciples didn't know the cause and effect; they only knew that the Divine Sword Peak Master seemed to have gone mad, starting a battle with the Black Tiger Demon King without a word.

They stood frozen in place, their eyes filled with confusion.

Under Venerable Hong's sword, several wounds deep enough to see bone soon appeared on the Black Tiger Demon King's body.

Blood flowed continuously, and he looked extremely disheveled.

"Venerable Hong, have you gone mad? I didn't come here with any intention to fight. Stop for a moment, let's talk this out..."

The Black Tiger Demon King was truly speechless. Did I dig up your ancestral grave?

But these words seemed completely useless to Venerable Hong.

The offensive in his hands didn't diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, it became increasingly violent and fierce.

Finally, the Black Tiger Demon King was struck in the chest by Venerable Hong's sword and slammed heavily against the array.

The entire array of the offshore camp trembled, shaking the earth and mountains.

Sliding down the light curtain of the array, the Black Tiger Demon King landed miserably right in front of Xu Jie and the others.
