Chapter 81 Your performance ends here.
A familiar, scorching heat mixed with a fishy smell rushed towards him, and Zhuang Yu's heart skipped a beat, causing him to abruptly stop in his tracks.
"This aura...it's it!" A glint flashed in his eyes as he gripped the spirit sword tightly.
The surrounding trees rustled and moved without wind, as if foreshadowing an impending great battle.
The air was thick with tension, almost suffocating.
A deafening roar shattered the forest's tranquility as a massive Black Flame Tiger leaped out of the dense jungle, wreathed in blazing black flames, and charged straight at Zhuang Yu!
Its scarlet tiger eyes were filled with bloodthirsty fervor, and its sharp claws gleamed with a cold light, as if it wanted to tear Zhuang Yu to pieces.
Zhuang Yu was prepared and dodged the Black Flame Tiger's pounce with a swift movement.
With a loud "Boom!", the Black Flame Tiger's claws slammed into the ground, leaving five deep claw marks. The surrounding trees trembled and leaves flew everywhere.
"You beast, I let you escape last time, but it won't be so easy this time!" Zhuang Yu sneered, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
The spirit sword in his hand hummed, as if it couldn't wait to drink blood.
Seeing that its attack had missed, the Black Flame Tiger did not rush to attack again. Instead, it slowly circled around Zhuang Yu, its scarlet tiger eyes fixed on him, searching for an opening.
It let out a low growl, as if warning Zhuang Yu: You are doomed to lose this battle!
Zhuang Yu's expression was solemn, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.
He knew that the Black Flame Tiger was stronger than before, and it also seemed to have become more cunning.
A man and a tiger faced off, the air thick with tension...
"It seems you came prepared this time..." Zhuang Yu smirked and slowly raised the spirit sword in his hand.
The Black Flame Tiger roared, and black flames rolled all over its body, making it look like a demon from hell.
It did not rush to attack, but instead slowly paced around Zhuang Yu, its scarlet tiger eyes flashing with cunning light, as if searching for Zhuang Yu's weakness.
Zhuang Yu was not fooled by its actions. He knew the Black Flame Tiger was cunning and knew that it was better to take the initiative than to passively defend.
His eyes sharpened, and the spirit sword in his hand shone brightly, unleashing a sharp sword aura that shot towards the Black Flame Tiger like lightning.
The Black Flame Tiger was clearly not expecting Zhuang Yu to attack first. It hurriedly dodged to the side, and the sword energy grazed its body, leaving a deep trench in the ground.
This sudden attack enraged the Black Flame Tiger. It let out a deafening roar, opened its blood-red maw, and spewed out a stream of black flames, rushing straight towards Zhuang Yu like a fire dragon.
The black flames, radiating a scorching heat, seemed poised to devour everything in their path.
Zhuang Yu dared not be careless and quickly activated his spiritual power to form a transparent shield in front of him.
The black flames crashed against the shield, crackling and popping like popping beans.
The shield trembled violently, and Zhuang Yu felt a powerful pressure, his brows furrowing.
He knew that the Black Flame Tiger's flames were extraordinary, containing immense destructive power.
He dared not relax for a moment, constantly increasing his spiritual power output to stabilize the shield and resist the invasion of the black flames.
Time passed second by second, and beads of sweat appeared on Zhuang Yu's forehead, while the light on the shield began to dim.
The Black Flame Tiger's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and the temperature of the flames rose higher and higher, as if it were about to melt Zhuang Yu.
At this critical moment, Zhuang Yu suddenly revealed a cold smile.
A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "Beast, your performance ends here..."
Seeing the brief exhaustion of the Black Flame Tiger after it breathed fire, Zhuang Yu's eyes sharpened, and the light of the spirit sword in his hand surged, actually cleaving through the shield in front of him with a single strike!
This move caught the Black Flame Tiger off guard. Before it could even react, Zhuang Yu had already shot towards it like an arrow.
"boom!"
Zhuang Yu's punch, imbued with immense spiritual power, struck the Black Flame Tiger's head with tremendous force.
This punch contained all his power, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting. The Black Flame Tiger was stunned and staggered back several steps, a look of fear appearing in his eyes.
"Roar!" The Black Flame Tiger let out a painful roar, never expecting that the seemingly weak human in front of it would possess such great power.
It shook its head, trying to clear its head, but Zhuang Yu didn't give it a chance to catch its breath.
"Beast, today is your death day!" Zhuang Yu shouted coldly, his spirit sword flashing like a silver dragon, drawing brilliant trajectories in the air as he launched a fierce attack on the Black Flame Tiger.
Although the Black Flame Tiger was injured, it was still a mid-stage Core Formation magical beast, and its strength should not be underestimated.
It roared repeatedly, its body engulfed in black flames, as it engaged in a fierce battle with Zhuang Yu.
A man and a tiger engaged in a fierce battle in the forest, destroying the surrounding trees and leaving huge craters in the ground.
The battle lasted for a long time, and the Black Flame Tiger gradually became exhausted, and the flames on its body began to weaken.
Zhuang Yu seized the opportunity, his spirit sword blazing brightly, and pierced the Black Flame Tiger's chest with a single strike.
"Roar..." The Black Flame Tiger let out a low roar, its massive body crashing to the ground, never to rise again.
Zhuang Yu stood before the corpse of the Black Flame Tiger and let out a long sigh of relief. He knew he had defeated a powerful enemy.
He wiped the sweat from his brow, a smug smile playing on his lips, and looked down at the dying Black Flame Tiger: "I told you, you couldn't escape..."
Suddenly, Zhuang Yu's gaze was drawn to a glimmer of light beneath the Black Flame Tiger.
He crouched down, pushed aside the Black Flame Tiger's corpse, and a crystal radiating dazzling light appeared before his eyes...
"what is this?"
Zhuang Yu carefully removed the crystal from under the massive body of the Black Flame Tiger. It felt warm to the touch, and the crystal emitted a soft light. Liquid seemed to flow inside, and intricate patterns, as dazzling as a galaxy, were faintly visible.
A surge of pure spiritual energy emanated from the crystal, invigorating Zhuang Yu.
"This is... a spirit crystal!" Zhuang Yu recognized the crystal and was overjoyed.
Spirit crystals are extremely rare spiritual objects, containing extremely pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth, which is of great benefit to cultivation.
Even a piece the size of a fist would be enough to drive a Core Formation cultivator crazy.
This spirit crystal is the size of a baby's fist, and its value is immeasurable!
He gripped the spirit crystal tightly, feeling the surging spiritual power within it, and a powerful sense of strength welled up within him.
These spirit crystals can not only be used to improve cultivation, but also to refine high-level pills and magic weapons. They are simply priceless treasures!
"Haha, it's like finding a needle in a haystack!" Zhuang Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter, all his previous fatigue vanishing.
This adventure into the Spirit Realm has indeed yielded tremendous rewards!
After putting away the spirit crystal, Zhuang Yu did not leave.
He knew that there were definitely more rare spiritual treasures waiting for him to discover deep within the spiritual realm.
He took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions, his eyes filled with a longing for the unknown and excitement for the challenge.
He continued deeper into the spirit realm, proceeding cautiously along the way.
The surrounding trees are denser, and the air is filled with a rich spiritual energy, but it also hides more dangers.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhuang Yu arrived at a secluded valley.
A light mist hung in the valley, and a strange fragrance filled the air, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
“Here…” Zhuang Yu’s heart stirred, sensing something unusual.
He looked around and found that the valley was full of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, colorful and beautiful.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a glimmer of light in a corner.
He slowly walked over, parted the dense grass, and saw a magical herb emitting a strange light, growing quietly there...
"This..." Zhuang Yu's eyes widened, and he involuntarily reached out his hand...
"Could it be..."
