Under One Person: Sincerity Moves the Gods

Chapter 82 Serving as an Accomplice to a Tiger

Hearing Zhuge Yunhui's explanation.

Li Muxuan was shocked. He grabbed a force field in his hand and was about to attack the ghost on the ground.

Li Cunzhen looked at the cougar who was still kowtowing, but a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Since the cougar has appeared here, it means that the tiger demon is probably lurking nearby.

Whether you're human or ghost, if you dare to lay a hand on me today, then you're doomed.

but..

If we were to make a move in this temple, we might alert the culprit, the tiger demon, and allow it to escape into the deep mountains and forests, which would only cause more trouble.

So he quietly stopped Li Muxuan.

"Mu Xuan, Junior Brother Lu Jin, Young Master Yun Hui, you stay in the temple to guard the horses. Since this fellow villager has asked for help, I will go with him."

Li Cunzhen slowly stood up, patted his Taoist robe, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Senior brother, I'll go with you—"

Lu Jin spoke with some concern, but was stopped by Li Cunzhen's eyes.

"Stay here."

I need to use the cougar, and I want to use the cougar.

This shows that this tiger demon is neither very powerful nor very brave.

If there were many people, he was really afraid that the tiger demon would run away.

Then, Li Cunzhen walked up to the villager, reached out and helped him up, and said gently.

"Fellow villager, do not be afraid. This humble Taoist will accompany you to subdue the demon. Lead the way."

Upon hearing this, a strange, excited green glint flashed in the villager's eyes, a glint that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

He thought he had succeeded, so he nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, Daoist Master! Thank you so much, Daoist Master!"

"Black Wind Ridge is just ahead, please follow me!"

After saying that, the villager turned around and walked into the dense forest where the rain was pouring down.

Li Cunzhen took a step forward, seemingly unhurried, yet he followed closely behind.

What the ghost didn't notice was that the rainwater was automatically repelled by an invisible force field when it touched three inches away from Li Cunzhen's body.

The two walked one after the other through the dark forest for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Li Cunzhen asked.

"Hey, where's the tiger?"

The villagers ahead suddenly stopped and burst into a sharp, piercing laugh.

"Hahaha! We're here!"

"Master, look, the tiger is here!"

As his laughter rang out, the surrounding air suddenly turned cold, and a violent, blood-stained demonic aura swept over everything.

"roar--!!"

A deafening tiger's roar ripped through the night sky.

The trees shook violently, and a giant tiger, the size of a buffalo and covered in black and white stripes, slowly emerged from the shadows.

A cruel glint flashed in its enormous tiger eyes, and the character "王" (king) on ​​its forehead was faintly surrounded by black, malevolent energy.

This is clearly a tiger demon that has gained sentience!

"Master, since you're going to be a good person, then go all the way!"

"Use your life to let me live a few more days in this world!"

The face of the evil mountain man instantly twisted and rotted, turning into a withered skeleton, grinning as he lunged at Li Cunzhen.

"You lowly demons and monsters dare to be so insolent before me?"

However, Li Cunzhen merely snorted coldly, not even bothering to raise his hand, and his inner energy surged forth.

In an instant, Li Cunzhen's right arm transformed into flawless white mist.

With a single palm strike, surging white energy swept out like a tidal wave.

The ghost didn't even have time to scream before it vanished into thin air the moment it touched the pure and righteous white mist, just like the remaining snow under the blazing sun, leaving not a trace.

The tiger demon was taken aback upon seeing this, seemingly also realizing the terror of the young Taoist priest before him.

His massive body suddenly arched, and his murderous aura transformed into countless black blades, shooting towards Li Cunzhen relentlessly.

Then he quickly ran into the mountains and forests.

Li Cunzhen's expression remained unchanged as he clenched his right fist.

The ethereal white instantly solidified into a solid form, like a piece of white jade.

boom! boom! boom!

The menacing blade struck Li Cunzhen's arm, producing a series of dense metallic clanging sounds, but it didn't even leave a trace of white mark.

"You wretched creature, it's time for you to go."

Li Cunzhen stomped his foot, and his entire body instantly transformed into a white afterimage, traversing a distance of several meters.

Under the tiger demon's terrified gaze, his solid, jade-like fist slammed heavily onto the tiger demon's enormous head.

boom!

A terrifying force was unleashed in an instant. The tiger demon didn't even have time to let out a wail before its hard skull, along with its demon core, was shattered by Li Cunzhen's punch.

The massive corpse crashed heavily into the mud, splashing blood everywhere, extinguishing all life.

Li Cunzhen withdrew his fist, his true form swirling, and he returned to his mortal body.

Just when he thought it was all over.

Suddenly, Li Cunzhen's nose twitched and his brows furrowed slightly.

The tiger demon is dead. Logically, the lingering resentment and death energy around it should begin to dissipate.

But why is the smell of blood still so strong in the air?

He followed the scent of blood and turned his gaze to a hidden cave deep within Black Wind Ridge.

Stepping into the cave, the terrifying scene inside caused even Li Cunzhen's pupils to contract violently.

Inside the cave, bones lay scattered everywhere, and severed limbs were strewn about.

But in the center of these skeletons, a dozen or so living people were sitting.

They were dressed in the villagers' coarse linen clothes, and their faces were sallow and thin.

What is most shocking is that at this moment, they are holding bloody meat in their hands, chewing it in big bites, their faces covered in blood, their eyes filled with greed and numbness.

Behind them, in the cages, were several disheveled and shivering traveling merchants, clearly their next savings.

Hearing footsteps, the villagers turned around abruptly.

When they saw that it was a Taoist priest who walked in, instead of the giant tiger, their faces did not show joy at being rescued. Instead, they revealed a complex expression of fear and resentment.

Only one villager stood out; his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have been corrupted by demonic energy and lost his mind.

He stood up tremblingly and pointed at Li Cunzhen, cursing loudly.

"You damned Taoist priest! What have you done to the Mountain God?!"

"You killed the Mountain God?! You murderer! You're going to kill our whole village!"

"The mountain god is dead, what will we eat?!"

Vicious curses echoed through the cave.

But his companions immediately covered his mouth and nose, and then kowtowed to Li Cunzhen.

"Master, we had no choice!"

"Yeah, yeah! If we don't do it, the tiger will kill us!"

"Please spare us! Without this giant worm, we can live a normal life!"

Li Cunzhen looked at the people inside the cave who were constantly begging for mercy and was speechless for a moment.

He never imagined that a living person would willingly become an accomplice to a tyrant.

Li Cunzhen looked at them calmly, the warmth in his eyes completely gone, and slowly raised his right hand.
