Chapter 1245: Chapter 1244: Daring Beyond Limits, Snatching Food from the Tiger’s Jaws

The appearance of a powerful black tiger shook this mountain range, exuding a sense that could shatter a person with its roar. The black tiger devoured the formidable giant crocodile in just a few bites, truly shocking everyone. This was a powerful tiger spirit, having likely cultivated for countless years, undoubtedly an Overlord of the area. Its imposing aura allowed no one to infringe upon its territory. Ye Tianchen and the others were stunned, not daring to continue the confrontation. If the black tiger attacked, someone would surely be gravely injured if not killed. This was a genuine Beast King, not easy to deal with!

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Huo Xianer, Pangu Yun, Iron Fan Young Master, and Jing Wuhuan all decisively turned and left, transforming into beams of light. Yintian Saint Child gave Ye Tianchen a fierce look, his killing intent palpable. He wished he could kill Ye Tianchen with a single strike to prove that as Yintian Saint Child, no one could provoke him without consequence. Unfortunately, Ye Tianchen was not intimidated in the slightest; Yintian Saint Child might not be qualified to scare him.

Swish!

Yintian Saint Child fled in another direction, but Ye Tianchen did not leave immediately because he noticed that the rampaging black tiger was running and chewing something—it was the skin of the giant crocodile. It seemed Ye Tianchen guessed right; the crocodile’s skin was indestructible, and if refined into a rare artifact, it would undoubtedly become a powerful treasure. Besides the ”Taie Sword,” he only had the ”Holy Heaven Prison.” These two treasures, though immensely powerful, couldn’t be used recklessly. Once revealed, they would cause a significant commotion, exposing his identity and attracting countless powerful heritages and martial artists coveting these treasures, constantly putting him at risk of being hunted. That’s not what Ye Tianchen wanted.

”Damn, this giant crocodile skin is a real treasure... Screw it, I’ll fight this black tiger if I must to get this indestructible crocodile skin!” Ye Tianchen thought to himself, gritting his teeth.

Whoosh!

Instead of retreating, Ye Tianchen charged towards the Black Tiger Beast King. This really caught the Beast King Black Tiger off guard. Nearly all martial artists entering this ”Original Restricted Zone,” even those stronger than it, avoided or fled from it, yet this Fat Taoist dared charge directly at it. Did he really want to challenge the Beast King’s might?

With this thought, the black tiger spat out the crocodile skin, hurling it straight at Ye Tianchen. It no longer cared about devouring the crocodile skin, intent instead on smashing this daring Fat Taoist, who dared to challenge its majesty, into a pulp!

”Wow... Lucky me, thanks a lot!”

Ye Tianchen never imagined this black tiger would spit out the crocodile skin, hurling it toward him. This was a great stroke of fortune; he didn’t have to snatch it from the tiger’s mouth, something far too risky and uncertain. Now his target was to obtain this indestructible crocodile skin, and the black tiger had just thrown it to him. How could he not be delighted?

Roar!

The black tiger spat out the crocodile skin, hurling it at Ye Tianchen, then roared, shaking the mountain range like it was declaring war on Ye Tianchen. It seemed as though it was challenging this Human Clan martial artist to a fight, yet to the black tiger’s bewilderment, Ye Tianchen leaped up, caught the crocodile skin with his formidable physical power, landed, and without hesitation, turned and ran. He even managed a cheeky grin and said, ”Thanks a lot!”

Swish!

Ye Tianchen turned into a beam of light, dashing forward, turning away to run. The black tiger was dumbfounded, stunned, thinking to itself about this despicable Human Clan Fat Taoist—wasn’t he hell-bent on fighting me? Why is he now turning to run, carrying the crocodile skin? In an instant, the black tiger realized it had been duped by Ye Tianchen’s facade of wanting an epic battle, realizing Ye Tianchen’s main goal was to seize that indestructible crocodile skin!

Roar!

Howl!

The Black Tiger was furious. It was the Beast King of this mountain range, and its roar could make all the living creatures tremble. Wherever it passed, even the most powerful creatures would hide away, not daring to come out and provoke the Beast King. For hundreds of years, any powerful Martial Artist that entered had avoided confrontation with it, let alone taunted it. Ye Tianchen was the first Martial Artist to dare to taunt it and challenge its authority, which made the Black Tiger angrier than if he had simply confronted it in battle. So, the Black Tiger roared loudly, causing nearby rocks to shatter and trees to break, turning into a black streak as it charged toward Ye Tianchen. It definitely wouldn’t let this detestable Human Clan practitioner off easily.

Ye Tianchen carried the giant crocodile skin and quickly escaped with the ”Divine Movement Skill.” He didn’t dare to fight the Black Tiger Beast King lightly. This creature was the overlord of the mountain range, superior both in cultivation realm and familiarity with the terrain. These ferocious Demon Beasts were not easy to deal with, and now was not the time. Carrying the giant crocodile skin, Ye Tianchen’s priority was to escape and shake off the Beast King Black Tiger’s pursuit!

”Damn, I didn’t expect this crocodile skin to be so heavy. Fortunately, my physical body power is strong enough to handle it, but it still suppresses the performance of my Divine Movement Skill. Otherwise, there’s no way this Black Tiger could catch up to my butt!” Ye Tianchen lamented in his heart.

When Ye Tianchen used his powerful physical body to grasp the crocodile skin, he was shocked, feeling his palm sink. It weighed tens of thousands of pounds, like carrying a mountain while sprinting. Even with strong body power, it was quite strenuous. It’s no wonder this crocodile’s skin was so tough; such weight wasn’t attainable by just any Demon Beast’s skin. It must be due to the unique bloodline inheritance of large crocodiles, resulting in this indestructible skin—a special situation.

”Hey, they say a tiger’s butt shouldn’t be touched, and I haven’t touched your butt! Why are you chasing me? The Yintian Saint Child who fled earlier cursed your entire family; why don’t you chase him!” Ye Tianchen turned and shouted loudly at the Black Tiger charging toward him, now less than a hundred meters away.

Roar!

The Black Tiger was furious, eyes emitting a dark glow, and Ye Tianchen had to speed up quickly. Following the roar of the Black Tiger Beast King, a strong sound wave attack came toward him. Wherever it passed, whether hard rocks or large trees, it turned to nothingness—a powerful sound wave skill indeed. Ye Tianchen feared that his butt would be struck by this attack, for then he would be buttless!

”You’re a tiger, yet you mimic a lion’s roar. Aren’t you embarrassed? You can’t even tell your own species; it’s no wonder you can’t differentiate right from wrong. I’m done talking; goodbye!” Ye Tianchen taunted, quickly escaping with wind under his feet. He treated it as a practice session. Frankly, though his body power had always been incredibly strong, he seldom underwent such practice. Using this Black Tiger’s chase as an opportunity to sprint with the giant crocodile skin was a chance to train his physical strength!

The Black Tiger was the Beast King of this mountain range, repeatedly provoked by Ye Tianchen, and was extremely angry now, moving swiftly. Even when Ye Tianchen utilized the ”Divine Movement Skill” at full power, he could only maintain their distance at a kilometer. This Beast King was not easy to deal with, and Ye Tianchen was equally shocked by its strength, understanding why it became the mountain’s Beast King. This was tricky; he had to find a way to shake off the Black Tiger. He couldn’t be pursued endlessly, and he also wanted to refine the crocodile skin and find the whereabouts of the old fisherman and Xiao Ling. If he were too late, they might really be doomed—this was Ye Tianchen’s greatest concern.

”Huh? Wow, a few good friends ahead! Let’s go make some acquaintances, and we can escape together faster...” Ye Tianchen saw several figures in front and grinned mischievously, speaking to himself.

Ye Tianchen accelerated his sprint, quickly reaching the few people in front, chuckling as he said, ”Wow, guys, what a coincidence! I am the South Sea Taoist, turns out we have such fate while escaping, let’s go together!”

”Huh? What’s that you’re carrying on your shoulder?” Huo Xianer paused and asked.

”Uh, nothing much, just the crocodile skin. I figured the Black Tiger couldn’t finish it, so it’d be wasted; I just took it away!” Ye Tianchen replied casually, showing a nonchalant demeanor.

”My goodness, I was wondering why the Black Tiger Beast King seemed like its entire family died, relentlessly chasing us without giving up. Turns out it’s because you snatched food from the tiger’s mouth...” Pangu Yun exclaimed in shock.

”You’ve got guts. That Black Tiger is the overlord of the mountain range, with profound cultivation, virtually unprovoked. You dared to snatch the crocodile skin from its mouth; you’ve got some nerve!” The Iron Fan Prince glanced at Ye Tianchen coldly and said.

”Hehe, guys, don’t say it like that. We’re at least comrades enduring hardship together, right? The camaraderie of escaping together is worth upholding!” Ye Tianchen chuckled shamelessly as he spoke.
