Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 54 The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Bloodtooth Demon Tiger, Bringing Its Own Blood and Gore, and the Horrifying Encounter from Li Zhexian
Li Zhexian and his group of seven cautiously made their way through the dark forest.

"Be careful..."

"Something's not right here..."

The trees in this area are exceptionally thick.

The dense foliage is as large as a head, and is a deep green that is almost black.

The soil underfoot was wet and sticky, and every step felt like walking through a muddy mess of rotting flesh.

The air was thick with a stench of blood, and the stark white bones scattered everywhere served as a stark reminder of the ominous premonition.

All sounds are silent.

Even the chirping of insects has disappeared.

An invisible pressure enveloped the area, making every breath a heart-pounding experience.

All signs indicate that:

They had entered the territory of some kind of terrifying spirit beast.

“My…idol…”

Yu Feng's voice trembled with fear.

"You...you guys look...what's that?!"

Li Zhexian and the others quickly followed his gaze.

What comes into view is a dark stone wall covered with vines.

The seemingly indestructible stone wall was covered with several claw marks, each several meters long.

The claw marks were deeply etched into the stone surface, and an indescribable murderous aura emanated from them, causing Li Zhexian and the others to tremble violently.

"Go over and have a look."

Li Zhexian said in a low voice.

Everyone held their breath and cautiously approached.

The closer they got to the stone wall, the stronger the ferocious aura emanating from the claw marks became. The invisible pressure made them tremble and almost lose their footing.

Li Zhexian walked to the area below the claw marks and looked up at them.

He slowly raised his hand.

My fingertips traced the groove of a claw mark.

laugh--

A sharp sting came from my fingertips.

Bright red blood seeped out, instantly staining the claw marks.

But the inner surface of the claw marks was smooth as a mirror, without a single stone fragment...

Li Zhexian's pupils slowly contracted, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

"Sword energy?!"

"Why are sword energies contained within the claw marks of the Bloodtooth Demon Tiger?!"

"Something's wrong with this Bloodtooth Demon Tiger!"

roar--!!!!

The voice just fell.

A terrifying roar, like thunder, suddenly exploded from the north of the jungle.

The roaring sound was overwhelming, causing towering trees to shake violently and even the ground to tremble.

Li Zhexian and the others felt a constant ringing in their ears and their blood surging.

"That's the location of the Wind Sword Sect!"

"They encountered the Bloodtooth Demon Tiger!"

Li Zhexian's expression changed slightly.

"Quick, go over and take a look!"

At that moment, the seven people moved like lightning, rushing towards the direction from which the tiger's roar came.

Within the absolute territory of this Bloodtooth Demon Tiger, there are no other soul beasts posing a threat.

They had no more scruples and pushed their speed to the limit.

A few minutes later.

We have not yet reached our destination.

Li Bai's rapid footsteps suddenly came to a halt.

"Wait a moment!"

He shouted sternly, stopping the six people.

Just then, from the depths of the jungle dozens of meters ahead, a crimson mist, like a blood-red tide, rolled in.

A shrub taller than a person was pressed down to both sides by an invisible force, and a strong, nauseating stench wafted over, gradually bringing a terrifying sense of oppression.

Li Zhexian and his seven companions felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their bodies chilled to the bone.

Within that crimson blood mist, it seemed as if some extremely terrifying being was about to break through the mist!

"Sister Dugu! Quick! Use the Concealing Breath Dispersion!"

Li Zhexian called out urgently to Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan reacted extremely quickly, swiftly taking out seven medicine bottles from her storage container. With a flick of her finger, the bottles flew precisely to each person.

Seeing Li Zhexian's unprecedentedly solemn expression.

No one dared to hesitate for a moment; they immediately swallowed the powder, then bent down and lay prone in the dense bushes. A few breaths later...

The surging crimson blood mist had already spread out.

From the depths of the fog, a six-meter-long, fierce tiger with piercing eyes strode out.

Its pupils were like two blood-red lanterns, and its rough, red and black fur covered its broad, dragon-like back in a messy manner.

With heavy and majestic steps, he strode over the bushes where Li Zhexian and the others were hiding.

Wherever it goes.

Thick drops of blood continued to drip.

A shocking trail of blood was left on the ground.

This is the meaning of the phrase "bloodshed and chaos".

A few more minutes passed.

Until that terrifying aura completely disappeared.

Li Zhexian and his seven companions emerged from the bushes, still shaken.

Yu Feng's face turned deathly pale, and he said in a trembling voice:

"What...what a terrifying Bloodtooth Demon Tiger! Thank goodness for the Concealing Breath Powder refined by His Highness Poison Douluo!"

Li Zhexian gazed in the direction where the scarlet mist had disappeared, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"Ten thousand years..."

"This Bloodtooth Demon Tiger is already ten thousand years old..."

Dugu Yan's pretty face turned pale, and she nodded with lingering fear:
"Walking with a bloody and treacherous air is a hallmark of the Bloodtooth Demon Tiger."

Li Zhexian then thought of the claw marks on the stone wall.

"Why……"

"Why does the claw marks on this Bloodtooth Demon Tiger contain sword energy?"

"Can soul beasts also cultivate swordsmanship?!"

Osro glanced in alarm in the direction where the Bloodtooth Demon Tiger had disappeared, and said hoarsely:

"Sword Wine...should we still pursue them?"

All eyes were on Li Zhexian.

Li Zhexian shook his head.

"We alone are no match for the Ten Thousand Year Bloodtooth Demon Tiger."

"Let's go check on the situation of the Wind Sword Sect members first."

……

The trail followed the trail of blood on the ground.

Li Zhexian and his companions arrived at the area where the tiger's roar had been heard earlier.

The scene before me was a complete mess.

The vegetation within a kilometer radius was razed to the ground, leaving only devastation.

The ground was crisscrossed with ravines and stained with large patches of dark red blood. Scattered among them were broken scarlet hairs, shattered swords, and a few scattered pieces of limbs that were too painful to look at.

Feng Buyu helped the old man in the green robe, followed by disciples of the Fengjian Sect.

They were all disheveled and their faces showed signs of fear.

When Feng Buyu saw Li Zhexian, a smile forced onto his blood-stained face.

"Brother Immortal...we meet again."

Without saying much, Li Zhexian took out a white jade medicine bottle from his treasure pouch at his waist and tossed it to Feng Buyu.

"It's for healing."

Feng Buyu clasped his hands in gratitude and said:
"Thank you!"

He poured out two pills and swallowed them, and his spirits immediately lifted.

He quickly poured out a few grains and distributed them to the old man in the green robe beside him and his fellow disciples who were more seriously injured.

"Brother Buyu, how strong is that beast?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Buyu's expression changed drastically.

When he saw the bloodstains on Li Zhexian and the others' robes, he shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed:

"Extremely powerful...extremely powerful!"

"Although it has only just advanced to the ten-thousand-year level, the Bloodtooth Demon Tiger's combat power... is truly terrifying!"

"Even my senior uncle, who has reached level seventy, couldn't defeat me with his sword formation!"

After taking the healing medicine, the old man in the green robe felt his breathing become a little smoother.

He cupped his hands in greeting to Li Zhexian and said:

"I am Feng Xiao, an elder of the Wind Sword Sect. Thank you for the medicine, young hero."

He looked at Li Zhexian and the others, his tone carrying the admonition of an elder.

"Young immortals, you have come to the Star Dou Forest, presumably to hunt for soul rings."

"The Bloodtooth Demon Tiger has exceeded the time limit for your absorption, and its ferocity and terror are unparalleled, so don't even think about it anymore."

"Listen to my advice, it would be best to leave quickly."

　Dear readers, I had so much work this morning, I only managed to write one chapter in a short break...
