Chapter 189 Red Flame Tiger
The attack missed, and the Red Flame Tiger roared angrily, and the flames all over its body became more intense, as if it had turned into a burning fireball.
Chu Tian didn't dare to confront it head-on, and could only rely on his agile body to deal with the Red Flame Tiger.
The Red Flame Tiger was extremely fast, and each of its attacks was accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, so Chu Tian could only barely dodge it.
"This can't go on like this!"
Chu Tian thought to himself that if he continued like this, sooner or later he would be exhausted by the Red Flame Tiger and eventually be defeated.
It must be resolved quickly!
Thinking of this, a look of determination flashed in Chu Tian's eyes.
He took a deep breath, circulated the internal energy to the extreme, and the long sword in his hand made a crisp sound.
"The sword moves the nine heavens!"
Chu Tian roared, and his body turned into a flash of lightning, rushing towards the Red Flame Tiger.
The Red Flame Tiger seemed to have also felt the power of Chu Tian's attack. It did not dare to be careless and opened its mouth to spit out a stream of scorching flames, sweeping towards Chu Tian.
"Little tricks!"
Chu Tian snorted coldly, swung the sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy broke through the air, splitting the flames spewed out by the Red Flame Tiger into two halves.
The sword energy continued to move forward, heading straight for the Red Flame Tiger.
The Red Flame Tiger was unable to dodge and was hit on the shoulder by the sword energy, letting out a painful howl.
"Roar!"
The Red Flame Tiger was injured and became even more violent, attacking Chu Tian madly.
Chu Tian didn't dare to fight. He dodged the Red Flame Tiger's attacks while looking for its flaws.
Finally, he found an opportunity.
The red flame tiger pounced towards Chu Tian again. Chu Tian did not retreat but advanced instead. He moved his body to the side to avoid the attack of the red flame tiger. The long sword in his hand stabbed towards the red flame tiger's belly like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
"puff!"
The sound of a long sword piercing flesh was heard, and the Red Flame Tiger's abdomen was pierced by Chu Tian, and blood gushed out.
"Roar!"
The Red Flame Tiger let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.
Chu Tian drew out his sword, looked at the Red Flame Tiger lying in a pool of blood, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
He won this battle, but it was a hard win.
He walked to the body of the Red Flame Tiger and was about to take out its demon pill when suddenly, a powerful breath came from a distance.
"Who dares to kill my pet?"
An angry voice sounded, and an old man in black appeared in front of Chu Tian.
The old man had white hair and beard, but he was in good spirits, with eyes as sharp as an eagle, and he exuded a powerful aura from head to toe.
Chu Tian was shocked and knew that he was in trouble.
Chu Tian was startled. This old man had a strong aura and unfathomable cultivation. He was definitely not someone he could contend with. Moreover, judging from his tone, he seemed to have a close relationship with the Red Flame Tiger. Could it be that...
“Senior, please calm down!” Chu Tian bowed and tried to make his tone sound calm. “I didn’t know this was your pet. If I have offended you, please forgive me!”
The old man snorted coldly, his hawk-like eyes swept over Chu Tian, then fell on the corpse of the Red Flame Tiger, and a trace of grief flashed in his eyes.
"Please forgive me?" The old man asked in a grim tone, "You killed my pet that has been with me for many years. Do you think you can let this go with just a simple 'please forgive me'?"
"This..." Chu Tian was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that he didn't mean it, right? Who would kill someone else's pet knowing that it was someone else's?
"Humph! You are so young, yet you are so cruel!" The old man became even more angry, "Do you really think that an old man like me is easy to bully?"
After saying that, the old man flashed and instantly appeared in front of Chu Tian. His five fingers formed into claws and grabbed Chu Tian's throat with a sharp gust of wind.
Chu Tian was shocked. The old man was too fast and he had no time to react.
"Oh!"
With a dull thud, Chu Tian felt as if his chest was hit hard. He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, with blood spurting out of his mouth.
"Boy, you are too weak!" The old man looked down at Chu Tian with contempt in his eyes, "Today, I will make you pay for my Chi Yan's life!"
Chu Tian struggled to stand up, but found that his entire body seemed to be falling apart. He was in extreme pain and could not move at all.
“Senior…” Chu Tian spoke with difficulty. He knew that he would not be able to escape today. “I…”
"Shut up!" the old man shouted, "Killing someone means paying with your life. That's only natural! If you have any last words, say them now!"
Chu Tian was filled with grief and anger. He wanted to explain, but looking at the old man's expression, it was obvious that he had already determined that he was the murderer and would not listen to his explanation at all.
Am I really going to die here today?
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the distance.
"stop!"
A clear female voice sounded, and then a graceful figure appeared in front of Chu Tian.
She was a girl dressed in white, with a beautiful and refined appearance and an extraordinary temperament, just like the Queen Mother of the West who had descended to the mortal world.
"Master, please show mercy!" The girl came to the old man and bowed.
"Xue'er?" The old man's anger eased a little when he saw the girl. "Why are you here?"
"Master, I heard that you were hunting down the murderer who killed the Red Flame Tiger, so I came to help you." The girl spoke respectfully, but her eyes were always on Chu Tian, with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Xue'er, you've come just in time!" The old man pointed at Chu Tian and said angrily, "This kid is the murderer. Today, I will cut him into pieces to commemorate my poor Chi Yan!"
"Master, wait a minute!" the girl said hurriedly, "From my perspective, this person is not a vicious person. There may be some misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" The old man snorted coldly, "Xue'er, you are too kind! This kid is so cruel, how can he be a good person?"
"Master, I don't mean to question your judgment, but..." The girl paused for a moment, then said, "I want to ask this young master, why did you kill the Red Flame Tiger?"
Chu Tian heard this and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart. He struggled to raise his head, looked at the girl, and said with difficulty: "Girl, I..."
"Xue'er, you..." The old man wanted to stop him, but was interrupted by the girl raising her hand.
"Master, please let your disciple ask." The girl's tone was gentle, but with a hint of unquestionable firmness.
The old man had no choice but to say, "Okay, Xue'er, ask."
The girl turned around and looked at Chu Tian with a questioning look in her eyes.
Chu Tian took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, then slowly opened his mouth and recounted the entire story.
Of course, he concealed the fact that he had received inheritance in the cave. He just said that he accidentally encountered the Red Flame Tiger and was chased by it, so he had to fight back.
The girl listened quietly, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
"Girl, I'm telling the truth, every word is true!" Chu Tian said and emphasized again.
The girl nodded, then looked at the old man and said, "Master, you also heard that this young man did not intend to kill the Red Flame Tiger, he just wanted to protect himself."
