Chapter 9: Blood Scale!

  Seeing this enchanting woman, Tang Lin's heart was momentarily stunned. At the critical moment, the beautiful woman in the mysterious painting suddenly appeared in his mind, and he immediately came to his senses.

  "What a formidable sorcery." Tang Lin was secretly shocked and cautiously looked at the demon in front of him.

  Beep beep~~

  At this moment, a bamboo tube in Tang Lin's bundle suddenly made a sound and transmitted an old voice, saying quickly: "All students, please return to the passage immediately and leave the cave. According to the investigation, the monster leader in the core area of the cave has recently appeared on the outskirts of the cave. Currently, four students have lost contact and their lives are unknown."

  "You're the Monster Lord!" Tang Lin's face was full of shock.

  The cat-eared woman in front of her exuded an overwhelming aura of evil, was she the leader of the demons?

  "You're telling me this too late." Tang Lin couldn't help but bitterly smile to himself, he hadn't expected that the bamboo tube was actually a magical artifact capable of transmitting sound over thousands of miles.

  "Human." The cat-eared woman gazed down at Tang Lin, her eyes darting towards his bundle, her finger lightly hooking.

  Tang Lin's bundle automatically untied, and the bamboo tube inside fell into the hands of the cat-eared woman.

  "No good!" Tang Lin hastily stretched out his hand to grab, this was his only hope for survival.

  Boom!

  The slender fingers of the cat-eared woman lightly plucked, and the void in front of Tang Lin seemed to transform into a giant hammer, sending Tang Lin's body flying backward.

  "Amazing!" Tang Lin was shocked in his heart, "This power is several times stronger than the giant bear demon, how can it be so strong?!"

  At this time, the bamboo tube had already fallen into the hands of the cat-eared woman. She glanced lightly and turned her palm, and the bamboo tube suddenly disappeared into thin air.

  "Despicable human." The cat-eared woman glared at Tang Lin, her eyes flashing with icy light. Her heart burned with anger as she thought of her deceased Iron Wing disciple.

  "Die!" A red glow flashed in its eyes.

  Tang Lin immediately felt a severe headache, as if a huge pressure was squeezing his head, just when his consciousness was about to blur, the mysterious woman on the painting suddenly appeared, emitting endless light and dispelling all the pressure in an instant.

  "Huh?" The cat-eared girl's expression changed slightly, and on the forehead of Tang Lin in front of her, a pure light suddenly appeared, as if it contained infinite wisdom, making people feel a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts.

  "How is this possible!" The cat-eared woman exclaimed in shock: "This, this is the art of observation! How can it be, an ordinary human, actually has such a profound art of observation!"

  As it shook, Tang Lin's consciousness gradually recovered. He felt his mind was extremely clear, thinking quickly, and his body was refreshed and comfortable. Without any hesitation, his body burst into a flash of light and flew rapidly towards the distant rear.

  "Want to run?" The cat-eared woman's eyes flashed with a cold light, and her face suddenly became ferocious. "I've actually encountered a student from the Seven Stars Martial Arts Academy's rigorous training program. I'll let you experience the pain of losing your beloved younger brother!"

  It waved its two hands towards the sky.

  "Wooo..."

  Innumerable gray skulls flew out of its sleeves, wailing and swirling around Tang Lin. These skulls were either human or demonic, each with a mournful expression, as if they had endless grievances. The sound of their collective howling made one's scalp tingle.

  "Is this the demon's soul-stealing magic?" Tang Lin was shocked in his heart, he didn't think that the cat-eared woman's Tao was so profound. He gritted his teeth and grabbed with his palm, pulling out more than twenty talismans from his body.

  "Feng Xing Fu!" Tang Lin instantly stuck two Wind Chasing Symbols on each of his legs.

  Each Wind Chasing Talisman could increase his speed by a factor of two, and in addition, he stuck eight Sensing Talismans on his shoulders. These sensing talismans sensed the extremely dense demonic energy and instantly auto-ignited, transforming into eight protective shields that enveloped Tang Lin's body.

  Run! Run! Run!

  Tang Lin swiftly galloped through the jungle, his body agilely leaping between tree vines like a monkey.

  "You want to compare speed with me?" The cat-eared woman raised an eyebrow, a cruel smile playing on her lips. Her body quickly transformed into a nimble little cat, darting between the branches and leaves of the trees like a beam of light, its speed four or five times that of Tang Lin's.

  Whoosh!

  This little white-haired cat immediately chased after Tang Lin.

  "Meow!" The kitten's paw came crashing down on Tang Lin's head.

  The sharp claws shone with a cold light, and although this little cat's body was small, Tang Lin had no doubt that if he were hit by this claw, his skull would explode on the spot.

  At this critical moment, the dragon pattern on his arm was activated, and he swung the Black Tooth Battle Knife, like a whirling windmill, chopping the air into pieces, and slashing horizontally at the little cat!

  "Meow~" The little cat's body swayed slightly, and with a jump on the blade of the war knife, it continued to attack Tang Lin.

  "Wow, so fast!" Tang Lin's line of sight could hardly keep up with the kitten's speed.

  Pfft!

  The purple fur on his back was suddenly torn apart, and a scorching pain came from the center of his back.

  Tang Lin turned his head back and immediately felt another sharp pain in his chest. The speed of this little cat was unimaginable.

  "Meow~" The little cat's body landed on the branch beside, licking the fresh blood on its paw, its jet-black eyes like gemstones staring cruelly at Tang Lin, as if playing a game of cat and mouse.

  Tang Lin is that mouse.

  "Am I going to die here today?" Tang Lin's heart was filled with despair.

  The little cat's movements were as swift as lightning.

  Hit and hit again, escape and escape again!

  Tang Lin had never been in such a predicament before, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he stared at the little cat as it flashed towards him again. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly let out a loud roar, waving his fists and opening them wide, casting a web of punches around his body.

  In the midst of a flurry of fists, the little cat's body reappeared on the branch. Tang Lin immediately stopped his fist technique, as using his fists to envelop himself was really too exhausting.

  "If I could deploy the Eight Trigrams Divine Ghost Formation, perhaps I could still deal with this cat demon." Tang Lin's heart was bitter, "Unfortunately, the formation is too vast and profound, and with my current abilities, I haven't fully grasped it yet."

  Whoosh!

  The kitten's body flashed again.

  Tang Lin immediately launched another fist technique.

  The little cat's body kept wandering around his body, although... this cat demon could completely break open Tang Lin's fist method, but it also saw that the power on Tang Lin's right fist was astonishingly great, if it forced to break through, it would also get hit by a few punches.

  Although it's not worried, the cat is clean and elegant, so this cat demon doesn't attack directly but instead slowly exhausts.

  It's about time.

  If this continues, when Tang Lin's strength disappears, it will be the time of death.

  Tang Lin also understood this point, but he had no way to stop, or else he would die immediately!

  "It's all I can do." Tang Lin gritted his teeth, put away his fist, and stared intently at the kitten, his spirit more concentrated than ever before, tightly staring at the kitten's body.

  If too much energy is consumed, it will really be slaughtered, but now there is still energy and can fight again!

  "Let me die, you will pay the price too!" Tang Lin thought viciously in his heart.

  The little cat seemed to see through Tang Lin's mind, with a cruel light flashing in its black eyes. Its body suddenly flashed and rushed towards Tang Lin.

  "No, it's behind." Tang Lin's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly swung his fist and slammed it backwards.

  Whoosh!

  Fist shot out, and his left side was suddenly hit.

  Tang Lin secretly cursed his bad luck, his body tilted to one side, losing the initiative. At this moment, he was immediately subjected to a series of attacks by the small cat, and his chest, arm, and thigh all transmitted intense burning pain.

  Boom!

  A numbness spread through his leg and Tang Lin's body fell backwards.

  The kitten's body fell on his chest, and from the fluffy paws, several sharp claws stretched out towards Tang Lin's cheek.

  When death stands in front of you, how will you face it?

  This soft cat's paw is like the palm of the god of death.

  Tang Lin's eyes widened in horror.

  His body hair seemed to stand on end. Some people say that when facing death, one's mind thinks of parents and siblings, but in fact, it's not like that. When truly facing death, the mind falls into a brief blankness.

  Tang Lin's mind went blank and he lost his ability to think.

  Crunch!

  His chest skin was torn apart, and Tang Lin seemed to hear the sound of his own bones shattering, as well as the sound of flesh being chewed by a small cat.

  It hurt violently, stimulating Tang Lin to wake up instantly. He looked down and saw that the skin on his chest had become blurred with blood and flesh, as if he could see the ribs inside.

  "Do you want to eat me alive?" Tang Lin's heart contracted, intense fear enveloped his body, his blood seemed to be shrinking, squeezing, and then turning icy cold.

  The kitten's cruel eyes were deeply imprinted in Tang Lin's mind.

  Just at this time ——

  A surge of scorching warmth suddenly emerged from Tang Lin's chest, instantly flowing throughout his body. All the lost energy seemed to return in an instant, and on the fist of his right hand, a fiery power like flames burned all the fresh blood.

  Tang Lin roared with anger, bellowing loudly, and suddenly his body straightened up from the ground, punching a fist at the stunned little cat!

  Boom!

  The kitten's body flinched subconsciously and was still punched in the back, its spine seemingly bent by a single blow.

  "Meow~" The little cat let out a mournful cry and its body flew out.

  Tang Lin's body flashed and quickly chased up, but saw that the little cat was lying on the sandy ground, fainting.

  Tang Lin gasped heavily and suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, as if a flame had been branded onto it. He hastily lowered his head to look at it.

  Only on his right hand, a blood-red scale slowly emerged.

  "This, this..." Tang Lin looked at the blood-red scales, and from these scales, he felt a extremely dense aura of evil.
