Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 388: Chapter 199: A Ruthless Man Makes His Name

Shen Qingshuang suspected that Chen Cheng might have provoked the Tier Two Tiger Demon. ’This is bad,’ she thought. She hastily leaped onto a large branch, then bounded through the treetops, speeding deeper into Evil Tiger Ridge.

Shen Qingshuang had arrived quickly, but she left even faster!

Wang Xiongzhang and the others stood frozen in place, stunned.

"Young Master Wang, what should we do now?" asked a young man in the group whose back had been torn open by a beast’s claws, revealing deep gashes.

Wang Xiongzhang looked at him, then glanced at the others in the group.

At this point, everyone’s clothes were ripped to shreds. They were all injured to varying degrees, their faces etched with exhaustion.

What fighting spirit did they have left to hunt demons?

"Let’s retreat for now," Wang Xiongzhang sighed, taking the lead and running back the way they came.

The others followed close behind.

Along the way, they were still attacked by numerous frenzied beasts, forcing them to fight as they retreated.

When they reached higher ground in the forest, the pursuing beasts finally disappeared.

"Lady Shen Qingshuang must have taken action and scared off the Red-eyed Striped Tiger. Without that beast to command them, the other beasts naturally retreated."

Everyone let out a huge sigh of relief, and the young man with the injured back added his thoughts with a note of good fortune in his voice.

This young man was one of the group of young talents. Having rarely ventured outside the city to slay demons, he was inexperienced and thus the most heavily injured.

"Lady Shen is a Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist, after all. The Red-eyed Striped Tiger is a cunning creature; I’m sure it was scared into hiding long ago."

Another young prodigy said this with a look of pure reverence. His arm also bore two deep claw marks.

"Perhaps," Wang Xiongzhang said, his face expressionless.

He had long since lost his usual suave and elegant demeanor.

If he hadn’t been forced to protect the three young talents tagging along with their group of eight, his team wouldn’t have ended up in such a sorry state.

"Oh no!" Shen Qingxuan suddenly cried out, pointing toward the depths of Evil Tiger Ridge.

Everyone followed her gaze and saw what looked to be a powerful demon rampaging from the depths of Evil Tiger Ridge toward the outer perimeter.

Trees snapped and broke in its path as dust billowed up, creating a startling commotion.

"Don’t tell me we’ve disturbed the Tier Two Tiger Demon from the depths of Evil Tiger Ridge?"

Wang Xiongzhang frowned as well.

The young talent with the injured back, however, had calmed down and said nonchalantly:

"It’s fine. Lady Shen has probably gone to deal with it. A mere Tier Two Tiger Demon isn’t enough to withstand a single strike from her sword."

"It looks like Lady Shen Qingyao is heading over too," the young man with the injured arm added.

Apart from the commotion coming from the depths of Evil Tiger Ridge, there was significant movement in two other parts of the forest, both heading toward the first disturbance.

From a distance, it looked like three speeding carriages plowing recklessly through the forest.

Just then, several figures approached from the direction of the outer ridge.

It was Liu Ruofeng’s group.

Other than some tears in their clothes from tree branches, they were mostly unharmed; only Zhan Xinwu had suffered a minor injury.

The two groups gathered together. After exchanging pleasantries, they all turned their attention to the distant forest.

Even though they couldn’t watch the Peerless Beauties of Linji City slay the Tier Two Tiger Demon up close, just seeing it from a distance would give them bragging rights when they returned to Linji City.

As everyone watched in anticipation, the three sources of commotion in the forest finally converged.

But the grand spectacle they expected—the Peerless Beauties slaying the Tier Two Tiger Demon, its roars shaking the forest as their swords lit up the heavens—never materialized.

Instead, everything suddenly fell silent!

...

In the forest, Chen Cheng was in a hurry, sprinting wildly while hauling the massive carcass of the Red-eyed White Tiger.

As he rushed forward, he suddenly came face to face with two sword-wielding figures charging at him, one from the left and one from the right.

From their stance, it looked like they were about to cut him down.

"Senior Sisters, what do you think you’re doing?"

Chen Cheng quickly called out.

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang stopped in their tracks.

From a distance, the two had only seen the massive tiger carcass Chen Cheng was hauling and hadn’t noticed him at all.

They had simply assumed that this Tiger Demon had eaten Chen Cheng, and they were furious.

That was why they had prepared to deliver a killing blow the moment they arrived.

Who would have thought that a whole Chen Cheng was hidden underneath this massive tiger carcass!

It was no wonder they hadn’t seen him. The Red-eyed White Tiger’s body was over ten feet long and nearly seven feet tall—it was a true behemoth.

With Chen Cheng hauling it and sprinting through the forest, from a distance, didn’t it look just like a massive Tiger Demon on the loose?

"Junior Brother Chen?"

Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang both cried out in surprise, their voices in perfect unison!

A complex mix of joy, astonishment, and confusion immediately appeared on their stunningly beautiful faces.

Chen Cheng poked his head out from under the Tiger Demon’s snow-white belly, a faint smile on his face, and said casually:

"Senior Sisters, what brings you two here?"

In perfect unison, a look of exasperated reproach once again appeared on Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang’s beautiful faces.

’Why else would we be here, if not to protect you?’
