chapter 14 People's hearts are evil

"Brother, be careful!"
A voice suddenly came from the woods not far away, and it was from the hidden archer who warned.
After the iron-tailed tiger killed one person, it suddenly started to attack the burly man who was the strongest among them.
Rumble...
The iron-tailed tiger monster was very ferocious, and its sharp claws could easily tear apart a large tree. Although the burly man was an eighth-level warrior of The Cultivation Realm Lian Ti, he was still in danger in front of this monster.
The attacks from others could only restrain the Iron-tailed tiger to some extent. Ordinary weapons chopped on the body, making a clanging sound, unable to cause enough damage to it at all.
Except for the initial sneak attack that hit the tiger's soft neck, the following attacks by the archer hiding in the dark were all in vain.
"Everyone, run away, this beast is too powerful!" The burly man roared angrily and circulated the energy in his body to the extreme, "I will keep it busy!"
"Mountain Breaking Axe!"
The burly man roared angrily, and the two axes brought out a cold light, and the sound of breaking wind was sharp and harsh, and he struck hard at the forehead of the iron-tailed tiger.
This ax was powerful and heavy, and he used martial arts that had reached the third grade.
"Bang!"
The tyrannical iron-tailed tiger felt as if it was struck by lightning, and its body flew backwards, with blood dripping from its forehead.
However, the burly man also felt uncomfortable. He was swept away by the tiger's tail, and the bones in his waist were directly broken. His skin was torn and the flesh was bloody.
"Brother!" The others exclaimed.
"Leave me alone, go!" The burly man gritted his teeth and stood up, desperately trying to cover the retreat of his brothers.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! …
The archers was still responsible for affecting the iron-tailed tiger's attack from a distance, which reduced the pressure on the burly man behind a little.
"Boom!"
The burly man and the iron-tailed tiger had another head-on collision. The burly man was knocked away by the violent force on the spot, spurting out a large mouthful of blood.
The iron-tailed tiger ignored the arrows that were shot at it, its scarlet eyes full of ferocity, and rushed towards the seriously injured burly man.
All this happened in the blink of an eye. From the moment the man called Fei was killed by the iron-tailed tiger, it only took a dozen breaths.
Although Stanley had seen a lot of blood scene from he came to Shui Wu Mountain to practice hunting, this was the first time he saw someone being killed.
"Die you beast!"
With the One-inch Kick technique performing, Stanley's figure was like a flash, and his feet flew towards the head of the iron-tailed tiger.
"Bang!"
A huge force was transmitted from the soles of his feet, and Stanley's figure flew upside down, flipping over in mid-air and landing a few meters away.
Roaring!
The iron-tailed tiger let out a painful roar, and stared at the human a few meters away with a pair of fierce eyes.
It felt that its head was almost crushed by the human's kick just now.
The burl man thought that he would definitely die, but now he saw that the powerful iron-tailed tiger was looking at a young man who suddenly appeared with fear, and he was a little dazed for a moment.
At this moment, the iron-tailed tiger's attention was attracted by Stanley. The demonic beast was superior to common beasts not only in strength, but mainly in that they had initially possessed wisdom. Its intuition told it that this human boy was a threat to it.
The burly man escaped and quickly ran to Stanley's side to confront the iron-tailed tiger.
"Little brother, thank you for saving my life. My name is Joyce Yuan." The burly man said with cupped hands and fists.
"Kill this tiger monster first." Stanley nodded.
Roaring!
As soon as the two of them said something, the iron-tailed tiger had already pounced on him. Stanley had already mastered the One-inch Kick and quickly avoided it.
"Mountain breaking axe!"
Joyce once again used his martial arts skills and struck the tiger with his axe. With his eighth level of Lian Ti, he struck with all his strength and only left an inconspicuous wound.
Performing the One-inch Kick, Stanley saw the life veins of the iron-tailed tiger completely.
"Tiger style!"
He suddenly ejecting into the air, his inner energy roaring and bringing up a gust of wind.
"Bang!"
This punch hit the tiger's head again, and a clicking sound was heard. The tiger roared in pain, with continuously retreated shaky steps and dancing stars before its eyes.
Joyce was dumbfounded. He used his ax to chop with all his strength, but he only slightly injured the beast. And this boy looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but his attack power was stronger than his own with his fists?
"Dragon Style!" Stanley's moves changed, his body rotated in mid-air, and his fists hit the tiger's head again as fast as thunder.
"Boom!"
Under this blow, the iron-tailed tiger had no time to react. It was hit by the most powerful Dragon Style Dragon and Tiger Boxing. The life veins of its head were immediately severely damaged, and the hard skull was shattered on the spot.
"Ouch!" The iron-tailed tiger let out a cry, and its huge body fell to the ground, dying.
"As expected of a top first-level monster, I hit the same spot three times in a row before killing it."
Stanley knew very well that in terms of pure strength, he was far inferior to this tiger monster. His ability to kill it all depended on his step-by-step skills at the Dacheng realm, plus his special ability to damage life veins.
Seeing the death of the iron-tailed tiger, the few people who had fled not far away also cautiously approached to meet Joyce.
At this moment, Stanley frowned and felt a dangerous aura.
Since fusing the Life and Death Bead, his perception had been extremely sharp, and he was immediately sure that the archer hiding in the dark was aiming at him.
"Brother, this guy's internal energy fluctuation seems to be at the sixth level of Lian Ti."
"Fei died from this tiger monster. We must not let the tiger monster's body fall into the hands of others." The several people whispered and talked with Joyce.
Stanley vaguely heard it, and immediately had a cold look on his face, and sneered, "I killed this tiger monster."
"Hmph, you were the one who killed it. If it weren't for our elder brother, how could you, a sixth-level Lian Ti boy, defeat this iron-tailed tiger monster?" Someone said with a sneer.
"Yun Wang, shut up! If it hadn't been for this little brother just now, I would have died at the claws of this beast." Joyce shouted angrily.
He walked out, then made fist-palm salute towards Stanley, "I won't dare to forget your life-saving grace. Naturally, this tiger monster is at your disposal."
Stanley nodded, somewhat impressed by Joyce. After all, the value of this iron-tailed tiger monster was at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
If these people really took action, although Stanley was not afraid, he would still be in trouble, so it would be good if they didn't take action.
"This Joyce is an idiot!" Yun's eyes changed. In his opinion, even if this boy saved Joyce, he would not give up the value of an iron-tailed tiger monster.
It was normal for a team of hunters to fight each other for the benefit of treasures, not to mention that the other party was just a boy at the sixth level of Lian Ti?
"Let's go!" Joyce bowed his hands to Stanley, and then led a group of his men to lift the body of his companion and leave.
"Yun, I know what you are thinking, but I would like to advise you. That boy can kill the iron-tailed tiger by no means easily. He might be a disciple of a certain family in Qing Yun City, and we cannot provoke him."
Joyce glanced at Yun beside him and said coldly, "What's more, he saved my life. How can we, martial arts practitioners, be ungrateful?"
"Yes, that's what elder brother taught me." Yun said, but he was not convinced in his heart.
"I know you are a little clever, but you have to use your brain properly." Joyce warned again, "I was injured in the fight with that beast. I need to find a place to recuperate first. I guess we will spend the night in the mountains tonight.”
The other people in the team also looked a little tired and lonely. The hunt for the Iron-tailed tiger this time could be said to have been a disastrous failure. Not only one person died, but also in the end nothing good was gained.
After a while, the team found a safe area to rest and recuperate.
Joyce sat down with his back against a big tree and tore open the clothes around his waist. A large area of ​​blood and flesh was visible. Fortunately, it was only a skin injury and the bones were not broken.
He took out the vulnerary medicine he carried and applied it on it, and said to himself, "I don't know who that young man is. He is obviously at the sixth level of Lian Ti, but he can kill the iron-tailed tiger with two punches..."
Joyce knew very well that if it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of the young man in black, they wouldn't have been able to kill the tiger at all, and maybe even he himself would have been killed.
He was at the eighth level of Lian Ti. He used the internal energy and the vulnerary medicine to recover from his injuries very quickly.
"Huh? Where are Yun and Hyman Zhang?" It took less than half an hour for Joyce to recover from his injuries, but he found that there were only two people left in the team besides him.
"Yun said he was going to see if there was any prey nearby." Someone replied.
"Oops!" Joyce's expression suddenly changed. With his experience and understanding of Yun, how could he not guess what was fishy about him?
"Yun must be coveting the materials from the iron-tailed tiger, so he took Hyman Zhang with him to kill the person and seize the treasure. Something big is going to happen!"
…
The body of the iron-tailed tiger was so big that Stanley couldn't take it all away.
Infusing Qingfeng Sword with inner energy, he first peeled off the tiger skin. This tiger skin was relatively complete, with only one or two gaps made by the axe, and could be sold for a good price.
In addition, there were tiger bones, painstaking efforts, and tiger teeth. The most valuable one was naturally the tail of the tiger. It was also known as the iron tail, which was a material for making low-grade weapons of the human level.
All the valuable materials were collected, especially the tiger skin, which filled Stanley's package.
He looked up at the sky. He probably wouldn't be able to return to Qing Yun City before sunset. He would have to spend the night in the forest and wait until the early morning of the next day before heading back.
There were not many monsters in Shuiwu Mountain, mainly wild beasts. However, if it came at night, there would be many dangers in this mountain forest, so Stanley must find a safe place to stay before dark.
Stretch!
The sound of a bowstring trembling was very clear in the silent mountain forest.
Stanley's pupils shrank slightly and he felt a strong wind flying towards his head from behind.
He moved his body sideways, and an arrow hit the tree trunk next to him with a bang, and its feathers trembled.
As the perception spread, Stanley discovered two breaths of life.
Not far away, a short, dark-faced young man was holding a long bow, with the bow drawn full, looking at him indifferently.
At the same time, a figure also walked out from the other side. it was the Yun whom he had seen before.
"What do you two mean by this?" Stanley asked coldly.
"Boy, you don't have to act stupid, leave your package and sword, and we will let you go." Yun said with a sneer, holding a sword in his hand.
"What if I don't?" Stanley's eyes flashed with coldness. Logically speaking, he saved these people, but he didn't expect these guys to be so shameless and ungrateful!
However, in Stanley's perception, only Yun and the archer were present, and Joyce and the other two did not appear nearby.
After thinking about it for a moment, Stanley realized that it was probably these two people who acted secretly and wanted to kill him and seize the treasure.
The things on the iron-tailed tiger were worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, so it was certainly worth for warriors of The Cultivation Realm Lian Ti taking the risk.
Stanley finally understood why it was said that the human heart was sinister!
