Immortality Begins with Krypton Life

Chapter 5 is a lecherous tiger.”What?”

Hearing this, the White Tiger was stunned, a trace of panic appearing on its face.

Then, it discovered to its surprise that its fatal blow, when the tiger claw was just inches from Chen Mu’s face, could not advance even half a thread further.

This meant that its so-called fatal blow couldn’t even touch Chen Mu’s body.

Can a fatal blow that doesn’t touch be called fatal?

The answer was naturally no.

In this gap, Chen Mu began his counterattack.

Even though he no longer had his Dao in hand, his cultivation of the Sword Drawing Technique had already allowed him to embody the sword.

One could say he was the sword.

In an instant, Chen Mu pressed his index and middle fingers together, and a strand of Sword Qi suddenly formed, then pierced through the heart like a sword.

”Bang!”

A pillar of blood suddenly erupted, and the White Tiger Demon Beast could no longer maintain its human form, transforming directly into its beast form before crashing heavily onto the ground.

[Killed White Tiger Demon Beast, plundered Martial Dao cultivation Lifespan: 132 years!]

As the mechanical voice sounded, the vigilance in Chen Mu’s heart vanished.

The mechanical voice meant the White Tiger was truly dead.

Yao Beasts were naturally cunning; if it feigned death and he was unprepared, he might fail miserably in an easy situation!

”You... you really killed him?”

Just then, behind Chen Mu, the bride spoke.

”You... didn’t die?”

Hearing this, Chen Mu turned around and looked at the woman with some surprise.

When he fought the White Tiger Demon Beast just now, that single tiger roar had almost ruptured his eardrums.

But now, this woman’s clothes were at most slightly dirty; she was completely unharmed.

”I have a protective Talisman, so of course I’m fine!”

Just then, the woman pointed to the protective Talisman hanging from her neck by a red string, written on yellow paper with cinnabar.

A protective Talisman was a consumable defensive Magic Treasure, costing dozens of taels of silver each, and was often unavailable even if one had the money.

When he received Taibao Horizontal Training at the Demon Suppression Division, he had seen one from a distance.

However, the monthly salary for the lower ranks of the Demon Suppression Division was only twelve taels. Of course, one could also use Demon Suppression Points to buy them, but if he actually had those points, he would only buy various martial arts or Medicinal Pills; he would never use them for consumable Magic Treasures.

He could now be certain that this woman was definitely not Wu Laosan’s daughter. Even if Wu Laosan sold his blood to scrape together dozens of taels of silver, he wouldn’t be willing to spend it, or rather, he wouldn’t have the channels to buy such a protective Talisman.

No wonder while in the sedan chair, the temperament and composure the woman displayed didn’t resemble a peasant girl’s at all.

”Hmm, nice Talisman!”

After Chen Mu finished speaking, he began to scavenge the loot.

This White Tiger Demon Beast had cultivated for over a hundred years; in that century, it must have stored many good things in its cave. Now that it was dead, everything it owned belonged to him.

Seeing Chen Mu brush her off with a few words and go treasure hunting, the woman was stunned.

Didn’t this man want to know who she was, considering she could use a protective Talisman? Or why she had been taken as the bride for the Mountain God’s wedding?

Furthermore, the woman touched her own pretty face; she wasn’t exactly unpleasant to look at, was she?

Meanwhile, Chen Mu had reached the deepest part of the White Tiger Demon Beast’s cave. After opening a chest, a set of emerald-green bamboo slips appeared before his eyes.

Chen Mu couldn’t help but feel delighted. Martial arts were the hardest to find; those circulating on the market were all common trash, while slightly more profound ones were hoarded by various Families and court institutions. Occasionally, some would appear in black market auctions, but each one fetched an astronomical price.

Techniques like Taibao Horizontal Training and Sword Drawing Technique were considered decent among martial arts for those who hadn’t entered the ranks of Martial Artists, but they were still not top-tier!

But he only got Taibao Horizontal Training after beating over seven thousand people and passing the entrance exam for the Demon Suppression Division, while Sword Drawing Technique was something Li Feiyu obtained by luck after thirteen years of martial arts practice. One could imagine how hard it was to find martial arts.

Now, finding another martial art here with this White Tiger beast was truly an unexpected surprise.

Chen Mu fervently hoped this martial art was the ”White Tiger Slash” that the tiger had transcribed itself. He had taken a liking to it when the White Tiger performed it earlier; it had been only inches from his face, and if not for his Perfection in Taibao Horizontal Training, he might have been taken out in a single blow.

The Hehuan Method!

When Chen Mu picked up the bamboo slips and saw the contents clearly, he froze.

”Useless!”

”I originally thought the Mountain God’s wedding was just an excuse for the White Tiger to eat people, but after all this, it turns out it really is a lustful tiger!”

With a slight squeeze, the bamboo slips in his hand shattered.

Searching again, he found two medicinal herbs and a dozen taels of silver. The White Tiger’s innate martial art, White Tiger Slash, which Chen Mu favored most, had completely vanished with the death of the White Tiger.

Gathering his gains, Chen Mu quickly walked out of the cave, preparing to collect the White Tiger’s corpse.

The White Tiger didn’t have much wealth, but its corpse was worth a considerable amount.

Tiger bones, skin, and penis could be sold for money; the tiger meat could serve as evidence to obtain Demon Suppression Points at the Demon Suppression Division. With 132 years of Martial Dao cultivation, and every 20 years equaling one Demon Suppression Point, this White Tiger could bring him six points.

However, when Chen Mu came out, the woman was squatting in front of the White Tiger. One delicate hand was holding the tiger’s mouth open, while the other held a dagger, prying at its fangs.

A young girl pulling teeth from a tiger’s mouth?

No matter how one looked at it, the scene was bizarre.

”What are you doing?”

Chen Mu asked with a cold face.

After all, this White Tiger’s corpse was his property!

Hearing this, the woman shuddered all over, like a thief caught red-handed.

She stood up abruptly, her eyes curving into crescents as she looked at Chen Mu with a smile.

”Um, would you believe me if I said I just wanted to see if this White Tiger had any cavities?”

”Take a guess if I believe you.”

Chen Mu retorted irritably, then picked up his Dao and began skinning and dismembering the White Tiger.

It took about two hours to finish dismembering the White Tiger and pack away all its important parts.

However, when the woman saw Chen Mu also collecting the tiger fangs, her face grew anxious.

”That White Tiger fang is very important to me. Could you give it to me?”

Hearing this, Chen Mu laughed.

”I could, but what do you plan to trade for it?”

”Also, you were this White Tiger’s bride. If I hadn’t killed it, you would have been entering the bridal chamber with it tonight!”

”How should the debt of saving your life be settled?”

This woman was indeed beautiful, but beauty couldn’t put food on the table.

Thinking she could just talk her way into taking the tiger fangs was pure wishful thinking.

Hearing this, the woman’s small face couldn’t help but turn red.

”I... I never said I wouldn’t repay you. My name is Jiang Huoyu, I’m from the Northern Jiang Family... um, have you heard of us?”

”No!”

Chen Mu said decisively.

Hearing that Chen Mu hadn’t even heard of the Family she was so proud of, Jiang Huoyu instantly deflated.

”Then what do you want me to do to give me that tiger fang?”

Jiang Huoyu said with a hint of grievance on her face.

”Do you have any martial arts techniques?”

Jiang Huoyu was stunned. ”That’s it?”

In an instant, Chen Mu was also stunned. ”You actually have some?”
