Chapter 648: Chapter 641: If One Finger Doesn’t Work, Try a Few More

Black Water Immortal Mountain, atop the summit.

Chen Hai furrowed his brows as he slowly withdrew the finger he had pointed out.

Not far away, Ye Qingqing and Zhang Tianci, who had been eagerly watching, quickly stepped forward to approach Chen Hai.

“Brother Hai, how did it go?”

“Did you find out anything about the Red Tiger’s background?”

“How strong is he? Can you handle him?”

With a tense face and a hint of unease in her heart, Ye Qingqing tentatively asked.

Although Zhang Tianci, who had also mastered the Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger, had already clarified some doubts,

even knowing that Chen Hai had deployed his Blood and Flesh Avatar and had launched that amazing finger strike to combat the Great Demon Red Tiger, they were still eager to know how effective that strike had been.

Being at the same Earth-level realm, Ye Qingqing and the others were well aware of how recently Chen Hai had reached this level.

If even he felt that the great demon Red Tiger was invincible, then Ye Qingqing and the others might have to consider the option of retreating from the West Barbarian Mountain territory to overseas.

“Being an Earth-level Demon Clan member, that Red Tiger is really hard to deal with!”

“My Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger only managed to kill a few minions. When confronted by Red Tiger, he blocked it with raw strength!”

“Even with the power of my domain aiding me, having a fair fight with him would indeed be tough for me to win!”

He sighed, Chen Hai expressed his feelings.

Utilizing the Blood and Flesh Avatar to pinpoint Red Tiger’s location, then deploying the power of his domain, this strike of the Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger was already him giving his all.

He felt like he had the advantage of the right time, the right place, and the right people; yet, with all those advantages, he had only managed to sever one of Red Tiger’s hands and failed to kill him instantly…

Concerning this, Chen Hai truly felt defeated.

“What? With the power of the domain aiding you, your killer move was still blocked by Red Tiger?”

“What do we do? Red Tiger is so powerful, do we really need to retreat overseas?”

“An entire West Barbarian Mountain territory, with at least a billion population, just falling into the hands of the Demon Clan—that would be a true disaster for these creatures!”

Hearing Chen Hai say this, both Ye Qingqing and Zhang Tianci, as well as Ye Fangxian, all showed a sudden change in expression, their faces filled with panic.

Although it’s said that when the sky falls there will be tall ones to hold it, Chen Hai seemed to be the tallest in the West Barbarian Mountain territory.

If even he couldn’t stop the Great Demon Red Tiger, facing the Demon Clan, what could they possibly do?

“There’s no need to be so nervous. Although the Great Demon Red Tiger blocked my Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger and lost an arm, he was not unscathed.”

“His location is now firmly locked by me. If one finger couldn’t kill him, I’ll just have to strike a few more times.”

“If the strongest among these invading Demon Clan in our West Barbarian Mountain territory is really just Red Tiger, then I believe we shouldn’t worry too much!”

Seeing how tense everyone looked, Chen Hai chuckled and once again began to speak reassuringly.

“So that’s the case, Master is truly powerful!”

“That’s what you should have said earlier, Brother Hai. You only said half of it and gave us all a scare.”

Hearing this, Zhang Tianci and others clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

As the Sect Master of the Bloodthirsty Sect, Ye Qingqing even pouted and rolled her eyes at Chen Hai.

Chen Hai simply smiled noncommittally and had already turned away.

He took a deep breath, and the entire heaven and earth darkened as he once again pointed in the direction of Four-direction City.

Of course, due to the domain powers that had been nearly depleted previously, there was no way they could have recovered in such a short amount of time. Consequently, the might contained in this gesture was clearly inferior to his previous one.

However, in Chen Hai’s view, this was hardly of any significance.

After all, even if the domain power channeled into the Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger was insufficient, it was still much more formidable than performing this technique outside of his domain.

His target, Red Tiger, had already lost an arm and was seriously injured.

The Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger that he had unleashed only needed to land on him to ensure that even if it did not kill him, it would at least cause serious injuries.

“We blocked it, we finally blocked it!”

“What terrifying divine skills, that person who hides and never shows himself, only causing harm from the shadows, must only be an Earth Immortal.”

“If his strength were any greater, just this attack could have probably claimed my old life.”

Sitting on the ground, Red Tiger breathed heavily.

Thinking back to that moment, he still felt a surge of fear.

Losing an arm was the least of his concerns, for with his strength and realm, it would probably take a year and a half to regenerate a new limb.

Yet, those Chang Ghosts he had accumulated over hundreds of years, putting much effort to attain his current level of power and scale were mostly consumed in that moment.

Just thinking about this, even Red Tiger could not help but feel a pang in his chest.

“Today I will massacre grandly. I will take care of all the remaining humans in Four-direction City myself!”

“By consuming these people and devouring their souls to transform into Chang Ghosts.”

“The newly transformed Chang Ghosts might be clueless and weak, but at least they could slightly compensate for my loss!”

His eyes gleaming with ferocity, he took a few deep breaths to catch his wind. Then, Red Tiger shot into the sky.

Heading toward Four-direction City, he opened his mouth wide and inhaled forcefully.

The next moment, his expression changed dramatically, “Damn it, not again…”

Inside Four-direction City, just as dozens of people failed to resist the terrifying suction force and were involuntarily pulled into the sky,

Right in front of the huge mouth of Red Tiger, about tens of meters away in the void, a crack appeared followed by a sword-shaped white light shooting out from it.

Closing his mouth, Red Tiger turned and fled.

Luckily, his reaction was quick. Otherwise, the people below in Four-direction City would have been sucked into his mouth before the sword-shaped white light could have entered.

Every time he thought about the terrifying might within the sword-shaped white light and the severe consequences that would follow after it entered his mouth, even Red Tiger involuntarily shuddered.

Like a living creature, the sword-shaped white light pursued Red Tiger relentlessly.

Normally capable of controlling the wind, Red Tiger flew at his utmost speed toward the direction of Ten Thousand Mountains, exerting all his strength as if it was essential for survival.

Unfortunately for him, although he was fast, the sword-shaped white light was faster.

He had only escaped a few tens of miles before he found himself with nowhere left to run and was forced to turn around to face the attack.

Because the might of this gesture was somewhat diminished compared to before, to block it this time, Red Tiger lost a leg and all his Chang Ghosts were completely consumed.

Not daring to delay any longer, his only thought now was to flee back to Ten Thousand Mountains, back within his own domain.

In his view, since the sword-shaped white light had appeared the first and second times, it would certainly appear a third and fourth time.

Although he had barely managed to block it, he was not safe; only in his own domain, bolstered by the power of the domain, could he possibly completely escape the crisis and survive this ordeal.
