Outside Five Miles Village, the Tiger Demon roared, producing a terrifying howl that shook the heavens and the earth.
With a thought, Wei Fan saw the tiger form on the Golden Bell appear to come to life, opening its mouth to roar, and the sound of a tiger's roar echoed fiercely.
This tiger roar was grander and more spirited than that of the Tiger Demon opposite him.
As the two roars clashed in the air, the ground exploded more violently.
"Pfft..."
In just a moment's collision, the demonic energy on the Tiger Demon was shattered, and its seven orifices began to bleed, as if its body was about to blow apart.
"What martial technique is this?"
When did the Golden Bell Shield become so formidable?
The massive Tiger Demon was astonished; he never thought he would lose to a martial art technique in a battle of tiger roars, especially an art known to all like the Golden Bell Shield.
"Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield!"
After a bout of tiger roar, the biggest Tiger Demon was left bleeding from the seven orifices, its demonic power dissipated, while the others, inferior to it, were half-dead.
One with the weakest strength even had its eyeballs burst!
Although none of the Tiger Demons were killed by the shock, the group-killing power greatly satisfied Wei Fan.
One must understand that this was only a Minor Achievement of the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield. As long as he continued to add power, one day he could clear out all demons with a single bell.
Wei Fan charged into the Tiger Demons with the Golden Bell in front, starting to slice and hack, and blood began to splatter.
The terrified screams began to spread; under the two-to-three-meter-long Sword Gang, no matter how large the Tiger Demons' bodies were, each one was taken out with a single strike.
A few breaths later, all the Tiger Demons except the smallest one, which lay trembling on the ground, had been slain by Wei Fan.
[Slain Tiger Demon, acquired 30 years of power!]
[Slain Tiger Demon, acquired 23 years of power!]
[Slain Tiger Demon, acquired 18 years of power!]
...
[Current Power Level: 132 years]
Seeing this number, Wei Fan revealed a satisfied smile.
He kicked the remaining Tiger Demon and said, "What are you afraid of? With such a small courage, how can you be a demon? I just killed a few of your brothers, what's there to fear?"
The Tiger Demon showed a terrified look, not daring to meet Wei Fan's eyes: "You... you're too terrifying, you're the real demon."
With True Qi Ninth Layer, killing a Great Demon of the Ninth Grade of the Initial Realm was like cutting vegetables, one strike each, do you have the nerve to say I'm cowardly?
Killed six brothers, and still told me not to be afraid, is that possible?
Wei Fan's gaze intensified, slapping the Tiger Demon hard across the face: "You dare insult me? I am not as cruel as you demon fiends."
The Tiger Demon did not dare speak again, not knowing who the truly cruel one was—nine brothers, and he had already killed six of them, nearly wiping them out.
"Which son of the Tiger King are you?"
Seeing it silent, Wei Fan sat right on its body.
This dignified Tiger Demon, now more obedient than a dog.
In truth, it was heavily injured; the earlier sound wave conflict had injured its internal organs, and it was still bleeding from the seven orifices, with several cracks on its fur.
"I... I am the sixth son, they all call me Hu Liu, why don't you kill me?"
Hu Liu, though fearful, voiced the doubt in his heart.
This guy was more cruel than demons, why spare him?
Wei Fan said, "Stop wasting time, answer when I ask, why didn't the Tiger King come when his own children died?"
He assumed it would be a bitter battle if the Tiger King came.
After all, many years ago, the Tiger King had run rampant in Yun City.
Hu Liu hesitated: "Should my father have come personally?"
Wei Fan exposed a mocking smile: "You beasts want to mimic humans but can't learn human emotions. When your own sons die, and the father doesn't show up, a beast remains a beast."
Hu Liu appeared as if learning a valuable lesson.
Wei Fan used his knife to tap Hu Liu's head: "Get up, take me to your father."
Without a shred of hesitation, Hu Liu stood up to carry Wei Fan away.
"Being a demon fiend to your level really disgraces demons; you don't even know how to resist slightly, and you easily sell out your father?"
Wei Fan lightly tapped the Tiger Demon's head with his knife.
Originally, he thought Hu Liu would not agree; who would have expected him to quietly take Wei Fan to find the Tiger King.
The Tiger Demon weakly said, "If I resist, will I give you a chance to beat me? Moreover, if you wish to die, why shouldn't I help you out."
[Current Power Level: 132]
Wei Fan examined the panel: "Use fifty years of power to enhance Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield!"
With over one hundred and thirty years of power, Wei Fan used it freely, unlike before when he was miserly, adding fifty years of power to the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield in one go.
The panel began to flicker.
[Deducted fifty years of power]
[Five years of power, your Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield becomes more proficient]
[Ten years of power, the tiger form grows increasingly realistic, but still far from a breakthrough]
[Fifteen years of power, your insights into Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield increase, continue cultivating diligently]
[Twenty years of power, you finally make progress and the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield gains expertise, condensing a trace of Tiger Soul]
...
The tiger form on the Golden Bell began to exhibit liveliness, as though given life, demonstrating tiger might.
Meanwhile, the Golden Bell also became more realistic, with some patterns appearing on the bell wall.
[Thirty years of power, Tiger Soul continues to grow]
[Forty years of power, with your persistent effort, the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield breaks through again, achieving Great Success]
[Fifty years of power, your Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield remains stagnant]
[Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield (Great Success)]
[Current Power Level: 82 years]
"Add another ten years of power!"
Seeing that fifty years of power did not achieve perfection, Wei Fan added another ten years of power.
[Deducted ten years of power]
[Five years of power, the Tiger Soul becomes more realistic, yet still not perfect, but you're not discouraged, continuing to practice diligently]
[Ten years of power, after years of persistence, the Tiger Soul becomes perfect, the Golden Bell rings, intimidating demon fiends, achieving perfection in Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield]
[Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield (Perfection)]
[Current Power Level: 72 years]
...
Wei Fan exhaled a long breath.
Finally perfected.
Up to now, the power he invested in this martial art totaled precisely a hundred years.
This was accomplished with the help of the Golden Finger; if he had to cultivate on his own, even if he lived a hundred years, he couldn't achieve perfection in the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield.
"Hmm... what are you fearing?"
Wei Fan suddenly discovered that Hu Liu beneath him was trembling all over, finding it difficult to walk.
Hu Liu spoke in fear: "There's something eerie about you that terrifies demons."
Just now, in a moment, he sensed a terrifying aura belonging to the Tiger Race, more terrifying than his father the Tiger King.
"Nothing, coward, you truly disgrace the demon fiends!"
Having roughly understood what happened, Wei Fan decided not to pay attention to Hu Liu.
He figured Hu Liu was frightened by the Tiger Soul consolidated on the Golden Bell.
[Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger (Uninitiated)]
[Glazed Treasure Body (Uninitiated)]
[Current Power Level: 72 years]
Wei Fan temporarily stopped adding to the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield and focused on other martial arts.
Two martial arts were still uninitiated.
At this stage, he didn't know if continuing to add power to the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield would be useful, so he decided to enhance the Glazed Treasure Body and Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger first, and see if any power remained thereafter.
