As the thunder talisman was transferred away by the yellow command flag, a furry tiger paw with sharp claws and teeth emerged from the blue demonic wind!
The tiger's paw struck Zhang Yuan's chest!
In the midst of the crisis, Zhang Yuan swiftly unleashed a palm strike to defend himself.
The two palms struck together, and powerful true energy and demonic power rippled outwards from the palms, creating a terrifying energy wave within a radius of several meters.
After exchanging a palm strike, Zhang Yuan's body rolled backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air before landing on the ground.
Zhang Yuan's face was deathly pale; he had suffered severe injuries!
A sinister laugh echoed from the blue, eerie wind. As the wind dissipated, a tiger-headed, tiger-faced demon emerged from it.
That strange, domineering furry hand was the tiger demon's paw.
"A mere human cultivator at the mid-stage of the Meridian Opening Realm actually managed to withstand a single blow from this Demon General and survive. No wonder Niu Er and Gou San are no match for you!"
The tiger demon laughed, standing imposingly with his hands behind his back. His face was covered in yellow fur, and when he spoke, he revealed a pair of fangs several centimeters long. His demonic power was overwhelming.
It's definitely a powerful demon of the demon commander level!
His strength is equivalent to that of a human at the Golden Core stage!
Zhang Yuan stared in horror at the tiger demon that emerged from the demonic wind.
That palm strike was too powerful; even with all his strength, he couldn't withstand it. The power of that palm strike was probably much stronger than that of a cultivator at the early Golden Core stage!
The tiger demon walked step by step toward Zhang Yuan, muttering to itself, "What a pity, the Flood Dragon Demon King has already issued a kill order. You must die today!"
The tiger demon's power had already locked Zhang Yuan in place.
A shadow of death crept into Zhang Yuan's heart.
After taking the Burst Pill, Zhang Yuan was able to temporarily unleash the attack power of the early Golden Core stage, and his physical strength also improved, but he still couldn't withstand a single palm strike from the tiger demon.
This palm strike shook Zhang Yuan's internal organs, causing him to feel sore all over, and his body felt as if it were broken.
"Why did the Flood Dragon Demon King want to kill me?"
Zhang Yuan didn't know if he could withstand another blow from the tiger demon and leave alive. So he asked the question that had been troubling him for a long time.
"A dying person has no need to know."
The tiger demon grinned, "After you die, go ask the Demon King yourself!"
Then, it raised its hand again, preparing to unleash a palm strike to send Zhang Yuan flying!
Under a gloomy sky and on a straight road in the distance, a beam of light is rapidly approaching.
The faint light arrived in an instant, breaking through the demonic energy barrier and blocking the tiger demon's outstretched hand, fiercely confronting the tiger's palm.
The cyan demonic power and the golden true energy of the flying sword were like needles and wheat awns, neither giving way to the other.
Zhang Yuan, having narrowly escaped death, first breathed a sigh of relief, then stared in astonishment at the mysterious flying sword, about a foot long, bursting with golden light!
"A Thousand-Mile Flying Sword!"
This is the skill of a Golden Core Realm expert!
Who saved me?
The flying sword and the tiger's paw faced off for a few breaths. The tiger's paw was unable to repel the flying sword, and similarly, the flying sword was unable to repel the tiger demon. Both sides retreated a step.
The tiger demon looked at the suddenly arriving golden flying sword with a complicated expression.
The golden flying sword remained suspended in mid-air, ready to engage in battle again at any moment.
Just as Zhang Yuan and the tiger demon were looking at the golden flying sword with puzzled expressions, the owner of the flying sword finally arrived.
Two illusory figures approached from afar and appeared within the demonic energy barrier in the blink of an eye.
Of the two people who arrived, one was wearing a white jacket with a front opening, flip-flops, and had unkempt long hair, looking rather slovenly.
The other man was dressed in a neat jacket and trousers, with heavy leather shoes on his feet, and was holding a large, all-green umbrella that was completely out of place with his attire and demeanor.
"What kind of demon dares to stir up trouble in the human realm and disrupt the order of the mortal world!"
The man in the white jacket retrieved the golden flying sword that had been hovering in the air, gripped it again, and glared angrily at the three demons, his true energy surging.
Zhang Yuan clicked his tongue slightly.
"This man in the white shirt is actually a powerful Golden Core cultivator!"
The once arrogant tiger demon now stared warily at the two human cultivators who had suddenly appeared.
He didn't care much about the human cultivator with the umbrella, who was only at the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, but the human wielding the golden flying sword was very strong, giving him a sense of unease.
It had sensed this powerful aura before, near Tongcheng University. The tiger demon suspected that these two were human law enforcers in Tongcheng, but it wasn't sure.
There's nothing to worry about unless they are enforcers of the Heavenly Court in the mortal realm.
The bull demon and dog demon, standing beside the tiger demon, were also ready for battle. They were wary of the suddenly arriving human cultivators and clearly realized that the newcomers were extraordinary.
"Who are you two, and why are you interfering with the affairs of my demon race?"
The tiger demon spoke.
Zhou Jian planted the green fan handle on the ground and sneered, "Enforcers of the mortal realm, you demons and monsters who cause trouble in the human world, do as you please!"
The three tiger demons' expressions all changed.
Human society falls under the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court will appoint some powerful human cultivators in the human realm to maintain the order of human society and prevent demons and monsters from causing trouble and disrupting the normal order of human society.
These appointed human cultivators are generally quite powerful.
But if that were all, the tiger demon wouldn't be too worried.
They had killed the law enforcers of the human realm, but what truly terrified them was the celestial forces behind them. If they were to fight the law enforcers, they might accidentally bring down the gods of the heavenly court, thus incurring their own wrath. At that point, even the Demon King might not be able to save them.
Therefore, the demon race is quite wary of the law enforcers in the human world.
Upon learning that the other party was an enforcer of the human realm, and given that the other party was quite powerful, the tiger demon no longer had the will to fight.
It waved the yellow command flag in its hand, and powerful demonic energy emanated from the flag. Then, the space in front of the tiger demon fluctuated violently, and a black vortex appeared in front of the command flag.
The command flag in the tiger demon's hand is called the Xuanhuang Command Flag, a powerful magical artifact with the ability to teleport short distances.
Seeing the three demons about to escape, the man in the white shirt immediately took out a purple peach wood token from his pocket and threw it into the air.
The purple peach wood token remained suspended in the air, emitting strange energy fluctuations that locked down the space. At the same time, the spatial tunnel in front of the tiger demon flag began to collapse.
"Where do you think you're going!"
The man in the white coat shouted.
Seeing the spatial passage opened by the Xuanhuang Command Flag collapse, the tiger demon's murderous intent resurfaced. Its figure suddenly disappeared from the spot and swiftly unleashed a powerful palm strike.
"Blazing Crimson Sun Palm!"
A giant fiery hand attacked the man in the white coat's chest.
The man in the white shirt also emitted golden light from his palm, and then raised his palm to meet the attack, and they began to fight.
The man in the white coat is named Liu Minchun. He is the captain of the Human Realm Law Enforcement Team in Tongcheng City. He is a Golden Core Realm cultivator. Because of his slovenly and unkempt appearance, his colleagues call him the Lazy Captain!
In terms of cultivation level, Liu Minchun, who is at the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, is still above the Tiger Demon, who is at the initial stage of the Demon General realm.
In humans, the Golden Core Realm is equivalent to the Demon General Realm in the demon race.
However, due to differences in innate physique and cultivation systems, humans are better at cultivating their primordial spirit and magic, while demons are better at cultivating their physical bodies.
The tiger demon's Crimson Sun Palm was a sophisticated and domineering close-combat palm technique. Therefore, even though Liu Minchun's cultivation level was one level higher than the tiger demon's, he was still slightly outmatched in physical combat alone.
Zhou Jian muttered to himself, "This tiger demon has a really strong body. Demons are indeed very strong! Its palm techniques are also very powerful!"
Before long, Lazy Captain was struck to the ground by the Tiger Demon's Fiery Crimson Sun Palm.
But Zhou Jian wasn't too worried.
Liu Minchun patted his buttocks, embarrassedly got up from the ground, and grabbed the golden flying sword that was hanging in the air again.
Liu Mingchun muttered incantations, and then the golden flying sword shone brightly. Two identical golden flying swords then flew out from the original flying sword, and the three flying swords simultaneously pierced towards the tiger demon.
Each golden flying sword was incredibly sharp and possessed astonishing power.
When the three golden flying swords flew out together, the tiger demon had already switched from active attack to passive evasion and defense.
The spells of human cultivators at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm are no joke.
Under the tiger demon's demonic power, every flying sword possessed the power to injure it.
Over there, Zhou Jian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "This tiger demon not only possesses powerful palm techniques capable of fighting beyond its level, but its movement techniques are also quite exquisite! Even when surrounded by three golden flying swords, it can still dodge with ease!"
Seeing that the three flying swords could not kill the tiger demon, Liu Minchun hardened his heart and increased the output of his internal energy, instantly conjuring three more golden flying swords in front of him to join the battle.
