Chapter 289 - The Old Lion’s Regret
Jiu Shen glanced at the old lion with an indifferent expression as he replied in an eerily calm voice.
"When you planned to destroy the Tiger Clan, you should have prepared yourself for the possible destruction of your Lion Clan. Little brat, greed begets death."
Jiu Shen snapped his fingers and pointed at the sky as he channeled his true essence. Countless wisps of black flames covered the sky, making it looked like a huge dark cloud.
The old lion's expression changed into that of regret and sorrow. He could still not believe that his proud Lion Clan would one day face such a terrible enemy. Perhaps it was retribution for his greed...
"My proud Lion Clan! This useless one apologizes for implicating you all in this mess!" The old lion shouted as he glanced at the lions with regret. His huge body shook as blood continuously leaked out from his deep wounds.
'Oh wait. If I use this power, there would be nothing left of them. How could I get the Savage Thunder Lion's blood this way?' Jiu Shen recalled the black flames and coughed dryly.
Seeing this, the old lion thought that Jiu Shen felt its heartfelt words, so he immediately said. "Thank you honored friend for being lenient."
Upon hearing that, Jiu Shen stared at the old lion as he was looking at an idiot. "What are you saying? I just remembered that if I use my flames on you little brats, not even an ash would remain, so how could I eat your tasty lion meat that way?"
Huh?
The old lion opened his mouth but before he could even speak, he suddenly felt his consciousness slowly fading. Only Jiu Shen's expressionless face and his words lingered inside the old lion's head before he died in a blink of an eye.
No one saw how Jiu Shen killed the old lion, but if an expert who trained his spiritual soul was here, he would have noticed the strong fluctuations of spiritual power in the body of Jiu Shen.
At this moment, Jiu Shen turned his calm gaze to the remaining Lion Clan members. He then attacked them using his spiritual power.
Thousands of invisible bullets shot towards the lions within the mountain. They could not even utter a howl of despair before their bodies collapsed on the ground dead with no signs of life...
The eyes of the tigers behind Jiu Shen flashed with fear when they saw how those strong enemies died in just a second. This mysterious human merely glanced at them and they all died just like that... Just who was this human?
"Wait here for a moment. I'll just retrieve a few things here." Jiu Shen said to the tigers as he walked towards the corpse of the old lion.
He placed his hand on the old lion's head and injected his true essence inside the body of the lion. The beast's body slowly became dry as Jiu Shen sucked the remaining blood on its body.
After doing that, he then refined its blood to get the pure Savage Thunder Lion bloodline...
Looking at this seemingly demonic sorcery, the tigers had the urge to run, but they forced themselves to remain at their spot. They knew that this human was their savior, but he was just too scary that they did not even dare to let out a fart.
In just less than a minute, what remained in front of Jiu Shen were three drops of purple-gold blood. These drops of blood were the pure Savage Thunder Lion's blood!
"To think that it only has this pitiful amount of god blood." Jiu Shen shook his head.
He then placed the three drops of blood inside a small tube before he put it inside his space earring.
Just then, Jiu Shen suddenly remembered the old lion's collection of spiritual plants inside his cave of dwelling. He then turned his head at the huge boulders covering the entrance of the cave and moved closer to it. He gave it a light tap of his finger which instantly turned the huge boulders into dust!
The eyes of the tigers almost popped out of their sockets when they saw this. Even with their significantly stronger bodies, they could not do that with such ease...
Jiu Shen plucked the spiritual plants from the ground and placed everything inside his space earring. He was planning to replant these spiritual plants inside the Spirit World. They would grow fast in that world with its abundant amount of true essence. The only thing he was worried about was the Grim Hallucination Flower.
"Hm..." An idea suddenly came into his mind.
"If I put some of these lion corpses in one place and plant the Grim Hallucination Flower there. Hmmm... Not bad..." Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he stepped out of the cave. If only the lions could have heard that Jiu Shen was actually planning to use their corpses as fertilizer for a spiritual plant, it would have been fun to see their reactions...
When the tigers saw Jiu Shen emerged from the cave, they immediately walked towards him and bowed their huge tiger heads with respect as they said. "Many thanks to the esteemed senior for saving us. We will never forget this."
Jiu Shen scanned the tigers and discovered that all of them were actually at the Nascent God Realm. It would be a good idea to bring them to his Heavenly Sword Tower.
When that thought came into his mind, he immediately devised a plan on how he could convince this group of tigers to come with him.
"We already resigned ourselves to death, but senior has given us a new lease in life and because of this, we decided to come with senior and serve you for the rest of our lives..." A tiger stepped forward and said.
Hearing this, Jiu Shen who was still planning his next course of action was pleasantly surprised. It looks like he no longer needed to convince them...
"We can talk about this after you guys meet that little girl." Jiu Shen said in a calm tone.
Two of the tigers revealed a look of excitement when they heard Jiu Shen's words.
Jiu Shen did not wait for their reply as he waved his hand and opened a rift in space.
Om!
