Chapter 49: Tiger King, Spare My Life

In the blink of an eye, an ice ridge appeared in front of the fair-skinned man. Under the mottled sunlight, the ice ridge refracted colorful light!

Lu Ye suddenly felt something was wrong.

Just now, he had gathered his spiritual power in his eyes and saw the spiritual light on the surface of the attacker's body. He judged that the other party was a cultivator above the third level of Lingxi, but less than the fourth level.

The other party's cultivation was higher than his, and from the fact that he was inexplicably hit by the other party's knife just now, his fighting experience was also higher than his.

Lu Ye's cultivation time was still short, and he had not undergone any rigorous training, let alone any master's guidance. He was holding a long sword and could only do the simplest chopping, stabbing and slashing. There was no way or skill to speak of.

His cultivation was not as good as others, his skills were not as good as others, and others could also use magic... The situation was already extremely bad.

Just when the ice ridge in the opponent's hand took shape, Lu Ye had already stepped on the ground and rushed out with the help of the recoil force.

Lu Ye's reaction surprised the fair-skinned cultivator. He thought the opponent would run away immediately, but who knew that this opponent would not retreat but advance.

His figure floated backwards again, and at the same time, the ice spike attacked at a very fast speed.

The sharp ice spike hit Lu Ye, but was blocked by the golden light on his body surface. Although he did not hurt him, the recoil force made his chest feel stuffy, and even the momentum of rushing forward slowed down a lot, and the golden light on his body surface dimmed a little.

After an ice spike was launched, the white-skinned man's hand gathered spiritual light again, obviously trying to condense a second ice spike. Lu Ye's eyes jumped. When low-level cultivators fight, the party who knows magic obviously has a great advantage.

"How many times can you block it?" The white-skinned man kept a safe distance from Lu Ye and teased him. The two chased and retreated. In a short moment, Lu Ye was hit by three ice spikes. The golden light on his body was dim and about to be annihilated, but he couldn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes.

Such a battle made him feel aggrieved, and he wanted to take out a fire snake talisman to teach the other party how to be a man.

However, he suppressed this impulse. He was not sure that a fire snake talisman could kill the other party. This was a cultivator, not the wolves he had killed when he first came to the battlefield. At this time, there was no suitable terrain to fight with the big tiger.

He already had a vague plan in his mind, but whether it could be implemented smoothly depended on luck.

After a cup of tea, when Lu Ye was hit by another ice spike, the golden light on his body finally disappeared. He was hit by the ice spikes and had been injured. Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Under the coldness, he couldn't help shivering.

He looked at the fair-skinned man with hatred, with an unwilling look on his face, and said the first sentence since the battle: "What grudge do we have?"

The fair-skinned man laughed: "No grudges."

Lu Ye was silent and waited for the next words.

Sure enough, the fair-skinned man said: "But if you can tell you where to find so many ores, I can spare your life!"

A sharp light flashed in Lu Ye's eyes, and he determined the problem. This confrontation was not an accidental encounter. The other party came to him specifically! The cause was the ores he sold.

To be honest, Lu Ye has always been very careful. He went to Tianji Merchant Alliance three times, and the people he traded with were all different people. Moreover, he only took a small part of the ore to sell each time, and he didn't dare to sell more, just to avoid attracting the attention of someone with ulterior motives. He even made several detours on the way back to make sure that no one would follow him.

But the fact proved that if someone really had some evil intentions, it would be useless for him to be careful, unless he didn't go to Tianji Merchant Alliance to sell things.

However, if he wanted to practice elixirs, where else could he go if not to Tianji Merchant Alliance?

What can be confirmed at the moment is that this matter was not led by the Merchant Alliance. Such a large Merchant Alliance, which is based on sincerity and honesty, has no reason to target a small cultivator like him.

So this is most likely a small move made by some people in the Merchant Alliance in private. Lu Ye recalled the three Merchant Alliance cultivators who traded with him, and he really couldn't figure out who was targeting him.

These three transactions were very ordinary. If there was anything unusual, it was only the hint of the woman named Liu Ruyin in the first transaction, but this didn't explain anything.

Judging from the words of the fair-skinned man, the other party suspected that he had found a vein containing various minerals, so he wanted to find out the location of the vein.

He didn't know at all that Lu Ye didn't have any mineral veins at all, and all his minerals were brought from the Evil Moon Valley.

Seeing that Lu Ye didn't speak, the fair-skinned man's face darkened slightly: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!" He made up his mind to beat Lu Ye half to death and then ask about the location of the mineral vein.

As he said this, he rushed towards Lu Ye with a knife.

He didn't activate the ice crystal technique again, mainly because it consumed a lot of energy. After breaking Lu Ye's golden body talisman, he was confident that he could squeeze Lu Ye at will.

However, Lu Ye, who had just acted very tough, turned around and ran at a very fast speed.

The fair-skinned man was so angry that he laughed. Looking at Lu Ye's back, he said leisurely: "Can you run away?"

He chased after him slowly, and at the same time took out a spiritual stone from his storage bag and held it in his palm, slowly recovering.

He saw that Lu Ye was frightened out of his wits. Running away like this would only increase the consumption of his spiritual power. Once a low-level cultivator lost his spiritual power, he would be no different from an ordinary person. The case of Yang Guanshi, who was killed by Lu Ye, was a precedent.

So he just had to make sure he didn't lose Lu Ye.

The two of them chased and fled, passing through a forest of rocks, crossing a small river, and when they reached an open space, the fair-skinned man found Lu Ye standing there, gasping for breath, his face as pale as paper, motionless.

He ran out of spiritual power so quickly? The fair-skinned man sneered, slowly stepped forward, and made a knife flower with the long sword in his hand: "Why don't you run away?"

He stood ten feet in front of Lu Ye, with a teasing look on his face.

However, he soon found something wrong, because Lu Ye's expression was extremely terrified, and he was looking in one direction, and his sword-holding hand was shaking violently.

A fishy wind swept, and a low roar came out. Behind a big tree, a sturdy, snow-white tiger walked out slowly with a leisurely pace.

The amber pupil looked at the fair-skinned man, which startled him, and suddenly reminded him of a rumor he heard in the market two days ago.

Can't be so unlucky? He wailed in his heart.

However, something happened that made him desperate. The tiger opened its mouth and uttered human words: "How dare you disturb this king's sweet dream? I think you don't want to live!"

The fair-skinned man's forehead was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat, and he finally understood why Lu Ye was so terrified.

The source of the fear was not him, but this big tiger!

Just when he was at a loss, he heard Lu Ye say, "King Tiger, spare us, we didn't know this was your territory, we're leaving now!"

The fair-skinned man nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

The tiger roared angrily, "Come as you like, leave as you like, what do you think this place is?"
