Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Wetting Their Pants

The credit for taming the Black-striped Tiger naturally went to Little Ape. Without the suppression from Little Ape’s bloodline, trying to tame the Black-striped Tiger would have been an impossible fantasy.

Riding the Black-striped Tiger for the first time, Chen Xin felt as if she were in a dream, a sweet smile unconsciously gracing her face.

Riding the Black-striped Tiger, one couldn’t say they were absolutely safe in the entire Imperial City Mountain Range, but they could at least roam without restraint. Even if it faced another Tier Three Demon Beast, the Black-striped Tiger would not be easily intimidated.

Following Lin Yun’s directions, the Black-striped Tiger sped towards the location of the Anti-Aging Grass.

In just half a day, Lin Yun’s group arrived at the location of the Anti-Aging Grass. However, by a stroke of coincidence, the eight Academy students had also just arrived there.

For a whole week, Wangcai and Li Ji had been held captive. The eight students interrogated them about the Anti-Aging Grass, but the two weren’t fools; they naturally wouldn’t tell them directly.

Wangcai and Li Ji both knew that as soon as they revealed the whereabouts of the Anti-Aging Grass, their deaths wouldn’t be far behind.

For an entire week, the two had led the eight students in circles. Only after several brutal beatings could they no longer hold out and finally revealed the location of the Anti-Aging Grass.

To reach the Anti-Aging Grass, the eight students had expended a great deal of effort. They had slain over ten Tier Two Demon Beasts along the way and even encountered a Tier Three Demon Beast, though they let it escape.

Looking at the Anti-Aging Grass right before their eyes, three of the eight were already injured. However, greedy smiles appeared on their faces. To obtain the Anti-Aging Grass, this sacrifice was worth it.

One of the three junior-class students looked at Wangcai and Li Ji with a sinister smile. ”Thank you both.”

Seeing the smile on his face, Wangcai’s and Li Ji’s hearts sank. ’It’s over. We have no more value to them now. They know who we are; there’s no way they’ll let us leave here alive.’

”Stop wasting time and get it over with,” another junior-class student urged.

”Alright, alright,” the man replied with a laugh. His longsword was already drawn. With a single thrust, Wangcai and Li Ji would have no chance of survival.

But right at that moment, Lin Yun arrived. Seeing the scene, he leaped forward, landing directly in front of the eight students, and shouted, ”Stop!”

Seeing that Lin Yun wasn’t dead, the eight students were momentarily stunned. Then, the three junior-class students’ faces twisted into vicious sneers. ”You’re not dead? And you dare come back to die? Fine. There’s a path to heaven, yet you don’t take it. Hell has no gates, yet you barge right in.”

An ant at the mere Eighth Layer of Opening Realm posed no threat in their eyes. They didn’t even bother to wonder why Lin Yun would dare to appear before them.

’What kind of backup could a kid at the Eighth Layer of Opening possibly have? Even if ten more Lin Yuns showed up, we wouldn’t be afraid.’

”A path to heaven I won’t take? Today, I’ve come to return the favor.” Facing their threats, the cold smile on Lin Yun’s face widened.

When it came to revenge, Lin Yun didn’t believe in the saying ”a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years.” As long as he had the strength and the opportunity, he would kill his enemies on the spot.

”Kid? Are you an idiot? I think you...” A mocking smile on their faces, the three junior-class students treated Lin Yun like a moron. But before they could finish their sentence, their expressions changed drastically in an instant.

Because from the woods behind Lin Yun, the massive Black-striped Tiger slowly emerged, with Chen Xin seated on its back.

Seeing this, the eight students knew without a doubt that the Black-striped Tiger belonged to Lin Yun. They just couldn’t fathom how he had managed to tame it.

A Tier Three Demon Beast! That was an existence comparable to the Primordial Ocean Realm! In Yanhuang Country, even a Primordial Ocean Realm expert would find it difficult to possess a Tier Three Demon Beast.

”ROAR...” The Black-striped Tiger roared, its cold eyes fixed deadly on the eight students.

If Lin Yun was an ant in their eyes, then they were equally ants in the eyes of the Black-striped Tiger.

Facing the Black-striped Tiger, the eight students felt the urge to curse the heavens. ’Why would a majestic Tier Three Demon Beast obey a human from the Opening Realm?’

Slowly, they began to back away. Their only thought was to escape. As for resisting? In their minds, that was just a form of suicide. They had no other thought besides fleeing.

”Whoever moves, dies,” Lin Yun said flatly, having seen their intention. As he spoke, the Black-striped Tiger’s aura slowly spread out, locking firmly onto the eight students.

Under the lock of the Black-striped Tiger’s aura, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of all eight students. They had no doubt that if they so much as twitched, the tiger would kill them without hesitation.

Being stared down by a Tier Three Demon Beast, the eight felt as if a great mountain was crushing them. Two of the more timid students had already fainted.

”I said I came to return the favor today. So tell me, how will you repay me?” Facing Lin Yun’s question, one of the junior-class students, who were all now thoroughly terrified, answered cautiously.

”We don’t want the Anti-Aging Grass. It’s yours. Everything we have is yours...”

Hearing his answer, Lin Yun laughed internally. ’Have these guys really been scared stupid?’

”Give the Anti-Aging Grass to me? You seem to have forgotten—the Anti-Aging Grass was mine to begin with,” Lin Yun chuckled.

”You chased me for dozens of miles and forced me to jump into a canyon. Good thing I’m hard to kill. So, tell me, how should we settle this score?”

The tables had turned completely. The eight, who had been so menacing moments ago, deflated the instant the Black-striped Tiger appeared. The shift from hunter to prey was so fast it left them no time to react.

”You, you, you, you, and you... die,” Lin Yun said softly, pointing to each of the five senior-class students in turn.

With Lin Yun’s command, the Black-striped Tiger moved instantly. Despite its large and sturdy frame, its speed was astonishing. In the span of just five breaths, it had slaughtered all five.

Five students at the Late Stage of the Qi Sea Realm, all killed within five breaths. The remaining three junior-class students were so scared they pissed their pants.

They wanted to cry but had no tears; the injustice of it all was killing them. ’How can we possibly resist a Tier Three Demon Beast? To make it worse, this Tier Three Demon Beast actually listens to a human from the Opening Realm!’

”Shit...” The reek of urine filled the air, and Lin Yun cursed involuntarily. ’These three really did piss their pants.’

”Wangcai, Li Ji, these three are yours. As long as you don’t kill or permanently cripple them, do whatever you want.” Without a second glance at them, Lin Yun spoke to the two, who were still in a daze.

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Wangcai and Li Ji were naturally overjoyed. They had been tormented by these eight students for a whole week. Now, it was finally time for revenge.

It was as if their injuries had already healed. Wangcai and Li Ji approached the three with sinister smiles on their faces.
