When the tiger-headed monster smelled this fragrance that only young girls possessed, its previously relatively stable internal energy suddenly became restless.

A surge of orange energy, like a wild horse, erupted from the tiger-headed monster's body, instantly pushing away the rainwater beside it.

Upon hearing Tiger-Headed Monster's words, Li Yu's expression darkened slightly.

He gently squeezed his legs together, and Little Black under his crotch understood and moved a few steps to the right.

Li Yu turned his horse to block the lewd and greedy gaze of the tiger-headed monster.

The tiger-headed monster, its view blocked, raised its enormous head in dissatisfaction and scrutinized Li Yu from head to toe with an unceremonious gaze.

Sensing Li Yu's strength, which was not even at the fifth level of awakening, the tiger-headed monster couldn't help but show a hint of contempt.

It glanced at Li Yu sideways and shouted arrogantly:

"Kid, don't think you're so great just because there are more people around."

"I advise you to be smart and either kick that stinky Taoist priest out of here, or obediently hand over this little woman to me."

"I'm in a good mood right now, so I'm giving you a choice. How about it? Think it over carefully!"

After saying this, the tiger-headed monster seemed to feel it wasn't enough, and grinned lewdly as he added:

"Hehe...but, this great one still wants to taste this little woman's flavor even more! Hahahaha..."

As he spoke, the tiger-headed monster couldn't help but twitch its nostrils, as if constantly searching for some tempting scent in the air.

When that unique fragrance of a young girl entered his nostrils, the tiger-headed monster's eyes lit up.

It couldn't resist sticking out its barbed tongue and licking the area, as if it had already tasted the deliciousness.

Immediately afterwards, the tiger-headed monster's ferocious gaze swept over Li Yu's entire group.

After confirming everyone's strength, the tiger-headed monster bared its sharp fangs and threatened:

"You'd better behave and hand over the person."

"Otherwise, when I start eating people, you ants will be in trouble."

The other two monsters beside the tiger-headed monster also wore smug expressions, clearly full of confidence.

After all, with the combined strength of the three of them, they only needed to deal with the seriously injured Taoist priest; there was no need to take these humans seriously at all.

At this moment, Li Yu's eyes were as cold as ice. He had not originally intended to deal with this furry, tiger-headed guy.

But the tiger-headed monster's repeated provocations, its arrogant and domineering attitude as if it were courting death, ignited a nameless anger in Li Yu's heart.

Just then, Yun Youzi from the group spoke up to remind them:

"Commander Li Yu, the beast-born are demons. This Blood Tiger Demon is extremely fast. We must not underestimate it and engage in close combat with it."

Upon hearing Yun Youzi's warning, the burly tiger-headed monster opposite him curled his lip in disdain and snorted coldly:

"Hmph, you think I'll just stop melee combat just because you say so? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Before he finished speaking, the tiger-headed monster mobilized his energy and suddenly unleashed a powerful aura.

Its body stood straight, and its huge tiger head, with its piercing eyes and white forehead, looked ferocious and terrifying, making people feel cold and dare not look directly at it.

"roar--!"

Accompanied by a tiger's roar that reverberated through the rain, everything around it trembled in fear.

In Li Yu's group, some ordinary people were so frightened by the loud noise that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

The tiger-headed monster then displayed its strength without any restraint.

Beneath its steel-like body, even bullets can only cause minor superficial wounds, posing no fatal threat whatsoever.

Just as the ferocious tiger-headed monster looked at the crowd and was about to make a sudden attack.

The fox spirit beside it, which had been silent, seemed to suddenly remember something important and quickly spoke up:

"Brother, I think I know him."

"who?"

The tiger-headed monster was puzzled. They had always been hidden within the demon alliance and almost never went out. How could they possibly know any humans outside?

The fox-like monster quickly lowered its voice and reminded:

"Brother, didn't you hear that stinky Taoist priest call him Li Yu? He's that Li Yu."

"Which Li Yu?" Tiger-headed Monster scratched his head blankly, still unable to remember.

Seeing this, the fox spirit grew anxious and raised its voice, shouting loudly:

"He's Li Yu, the one who killed the Shadow Master!"

Upon hearing this, the previously aggressive Tiger-Headed Monster paused for a moment, instantly recalling information about Li Yu in his mind.

"Could it be Li Yu, the one who single-handedly defended the Central Plains line seven times and successfully killed the Shadow Master of the Eternal Flame Alliance?"

A flicker of fear crossed the tiger-headed monster's eyes, but after observing Li Yu for a few more moments, it quickly regained its arrogant demeanor and sneered nonchalantly:

"It's just a piece of fake news spread by rumors. You think he could kill the Shadow Master? Don't be ridiculous!"

Despite saying that, just to be on the safe side, the tiger-headed monster still used its full strength from the start.

"die!"

The tiger-headed monster attacked fiercely, its speed astonishing.

In the blink of an eye, its enormous body was already close at hand.

The tiger-headed monster's muscles bulged all over its body, almost bursting out of its skin.

Through its taut skin, the energy and blood flowing within are clearly visible.

In an instant, the tiger's head swelled up in front of Li Yu, becoming enormous.

Its gaping maw opened to its limit, its fangs gleaming coldly, and it lunged at Li Yu.

The speed of a cheetah, the bite force of a deep-rained crocodile.

Countless enemies have died at its mouth, and how many people below the Demon King can rival it?

The tiger-headed monster was extremely confident; how could it possibly lose with its strength?

With a flick of Li Yu's wrist, a sharp arrow shot towards the tiger's head.

"Bang!"

With a simple arrow, the tiger-headed monster's enormous head burst open like a balloon.

In an instant, an orange energy surged out from the tiger-headed monster's shattered body, filling the surrounding space.

Li Yu immediately activated the cyclone to absorb all the energy scattered by the tiger-headed monster.

The moment these energies entered the cyclone, a strange and inexplicable force caused Li Yu to involuntarily tense all the muscles in his body.

Completely different from the energy of the previous awakened ones, the orange energy absorbed into the cyclone was not transformed into experience by the cyclone.

Instead, it was transformed into a warm current that quickly flowed throughout his body, surging into his bones and muscles, continuously strengthening his body.

Li Yu was still somewhat unaccustomed to the powerful force that suddenly surged into his body.

However, Li Yu still pointed at the fallen corpse of the tiger-headed monster and murmured in confusion:

"Aren't there no strange beasts within the Central Plains defense line? Then what is this?!"
