face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Stone-spotted Tiger King’s sudden strike to Lin Dongyang getting severely injured, Jing Yan had predicted it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply picked a perfect moment to show himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now one of the five warriors attacking the Stone-spotted Tiger King was seriously hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he would survive with timely treatment, he could no longer participate in this fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five of them fought together with almost perfect teamwork, so losing any of them in a fight would seriously hamper their ability to take down their prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone-spotted Tiger Kings were almost as strong as Fourth-grade Spiritual Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a hunting group like Lin Qi’s lost their excellent cooperation, it would be very tough for them to kill a Stone-spotted Tiger King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing one of the fighters would have a significant influence on their performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their best solution would be to get a new person to fill the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan?” Lin Qi got a better look at the newcomer’s face and recognized Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Jing Yan had been a celebrity in Dong Lin City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most warriors in the city knew who Jing Yan was—the genius of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a surprise,” Lin Qi thought immediately when he recognized Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also knew about Jing Yan’s continuously falling rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan was only at the Third Heaven, and with a cultivation of that level, it was amazing that Jing Yan was still hanging around in the Blackrock Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost like he was looking to get himself killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that they were in the middle area of the Blackrock Mountains, not the outskirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi took a cautious glance around after he saw Jing Yan, since he wasn’t sure if Jing Yan was alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chances were that if Jing Yan showed up, there was probably a hunting squad from the Jing Clan somewhere nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he soon realized that Jing Yan was the only Jing Clan warrior present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi secretly let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stone-spotted Tiger King didn’t stop attacking just because Jing Yan showed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the reluctant absence of Lin Dongyang, the other four fighters were thrown off-kilter by the Stone-spotted Tiger King’s renewed offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“B*stard!” Lin Qi growled as the Vital Qi inside his body swirled faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He launched a fierce attack at the Stone-spotted Tiger King, and the longsword in his hand beamed with an intimidating cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incredible power of his attack knocked the Stone-spotted Tiger King back a couple of steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi was excellent, there was no doubt about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn’t been for Lin Qi, this hunting group from the Lin Clan might have already died, full of regret for their tragic choice to challenge a Stone-spotted Tiger King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It looks like you guys could use my help here!” Instead of taking action to help right away, Jing Yan spoke to them casually with a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi and the others all gazed at Jing Yan furiously after hearing his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn’t been for Jing Yan’s sudden appearance that distracted them from the fight, Lin Dongyang wouldn’t have been injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, it wouldn’t have taken them too long to kill the Stone-spotted Tiger King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wanna help?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With your Third Heaven cultivation?” Lin Hu curled his lips in contempt and sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jing Yan’s rank hadn’t fallen, Lin Hu would never have dared to talk to him like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, even someone like him didn’t need to show Jing Yan any respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, without my help, it will be a little too challenging for you guys to kill the Stone-spotted Tiger King.” Jing Yan’s smile grew wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t seem to be bothered at all by what Lin Hu had said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi glanced at Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something flashed in his eyes as he asked, “What do you want in return?” If Jing Yan was offering to help, he obviously wanted something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t believe for a second that Jing Yan would help them kill the Stone-spotted Tiger King without asking for anything for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, if Lin Qi hadn’t been so preoccupied at the moment, he’d have preferred to turn his sword on Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since there were only four of them standing, they could barely defend themselves against the attacks of the Stone-spotted Tiger King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had to spare one person to kill Jing Yan, then all of them might end up dead on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just want the Flesh Horn,” Jing Yan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Stone-spotted Tiger King had a nearly transparent Flesh Horn on its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That horn was also the most valuable thing on the Tiger King’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, are you out of your mind, Jing Yan?” “You think you have a chance to take the Flesh Horn of the Stone-spotted Tiger King?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only in your dreams!” “Just get the hell out of our way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you stay, we will kill you as soon as we have killed the Stone-spotted Tiger King!” Lin Hu was outraged at Jing Yan’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flesh Horn on the head of the Stone-spotted Tiger King, as small as it was, counted for half of the beast’s total value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan was only a Third Heaven warrior, yet he had the guts to covet half of the Stone-spotted Tiger Kong’s value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought he could take it from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could that be acceptable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, I’m not forcing you guys to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if I don’t step in, you might end up with nothing,” Jing Yan said casually, his eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Qi and the other three fought, their condition was growing steadily worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any of them could be badly injured at any second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan was in no hurry, yet Lin Qi and others didn’t have much time to waste at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jing Yan hadn’t been there, they could still have concentrated entirely on fighting the Stone-spotted Tiger King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, they might have still had a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jing Yan was standing so close to them that they were too distracted to focus on the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, they were also worried that Jing Yan might sneak up on them at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the circumstances, even if Jing Yan was only a Third Heaven warrior, he could still be a fatal threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will go with what you just said.” Lin Qi nodded his agreement to Jing Yan’s offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qi!” Lin Hu turned his gaze to Lin Qi in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two warriors also looked at Lin Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After such a long and tough fight, they certainly didn’t want to let Jing Yan take half of the rewards at the last moment simply because he showed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All of you, don’t say a word!” Lin Qi growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something cruel and cold flashed in Lin Qi’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a reason that he was agreeing to Jing Yan’s offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his perspective, even if the four of them couldn’t spare a hand to kill Jing Yan, they could still use the Stone-spotted Tiger King to kill Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only a Third Heaven warrior, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he joined the fight, it would be a simple matter for the four of them to send Jing Yan to his death under the Stone-spotted Tiger King’s sharp claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Jing Yan died, they could keep going and put all their focus into taking down the Stone-spotted Tiger King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan gave Lin Qi a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he knew what Lin Qi was up to, but he didn’t mind at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out, I’m coming through!” Jing Yan concentrated his Vital Qi, dashing forward as the Moonbeam Sword in his hand turned into a blurred shadow that went straight at the Stone-spotted Tiger King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You asked for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t blame me for your death!” Lin Qi hid a grin as he glanced at Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jing Yan died under the Stone-spotted Tiger King’s claws, even if the Jing Clan found his body afterward, they would never figure out that Lin Qi and his people were involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tittering sound was heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incredibly fast Moonbeam Sword slashed through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stone-spotted Tiger King turned his giant head and stared at Jing Yan the second that Jing Yan made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could feel the terrifying sense of threat from Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Stone-spotted Tiger King sensed the horrifying foreboding coming from Jing Yan, its body couldn’t react in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, it was being attacked by the other four people, so the beast couldn’t dodge Jing Yan’s strike at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stone-spotted Tiger King screamed in pain and anger, then Jing Yan’s sword plunged fully through its throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood spurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could this be?” Lin Qi stared at Jing Yan with a look of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Hu and others couldn’t believe what they were seeing either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes bulged so much that it looked as if their eyeballs were going to fall out.\u003C\u002Fp>",1533,"2026-06-03T10:25:51.540Z",1,"novelbin.me","e9ff713f7f90fbbbf5c4ab112252097903b5f73f32b179a78cb09a25bf485384","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-16","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-14",2108,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sword-god-of-the-universe-cover.jpg"]
