Night descended upon the world, Tang Yin was still inside the cave, he had decided to stay the night in the cave before venturing deeper into the Middle Ring in the morning.
The night passed by quickly, Tang Yin got up and left the cave. The wind today was especially fierce, his blood-red hair danced on his face. Tang Yin could barely suppress his excitement, he really wanted to obtain the Martial Skill, Heaven Piercing Gaze.
Without delay, Tang Yin rushed deeper into the Middle Ring very cautiously. Although he desired the Martial Skill, it was not to the point where he would disregard his safety.
Tang Yin treaded through the forest carefully. Eventually, he saw a Demonic Beast ahead, by its weak aura, it was just a Low Tier Rank 1 Demonic Beast. Although to the current Tang Yin, this Demonic Beast was weak, he still decided to remain vigilant, accidents could still occur.
The Demonic Beast was a Sharp-Tusked Boar, this brought back memories from a month ago, his first-ever kill. Tang Yin snapped out of his reminiscence; he sneaked up from behind the Sharp-Tusked Boar discreetly. He didn't wait long this time, he swooped in for the kill.
Tang Yin was at the 6th stage of the Spirit Channelling Realm, along with an increase in cultivation, all his other attributes had been enhanced as well, including his speed.
Tang Yin burst forth with a speed he had never shown before to appear before the Sharp-Tusked Boar, before the boar could even react, Tang Yin slashed his blade across its neck, and without any resistance, the boar's head flew into the air. Low Tier Rank 1 Demonic Beasts were too weak for Tang Yin now, he only needed a single slash with his Abyssal Sword to kill one.
Tang Yin sat down cross-legged next to the Sharp-Tusked Boar's corpse, he activated his Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit and devoured it in the blink of an eye. After devouring the boar whole, Tang Yin got up to search for his next prey.
Half an hour passed; Tang Yin had found his next prey. This prey was a 3-Eyed Black Tiger, its 3rd eye was closed. Behind this tiger was a boulder as big as its body. On top of this boulder was a violet flower with some fruit inside the core.
A dense medicinal fragrance and Qi wafted around the flower. The 3-Eyed Black Tiger was a Mid-Tier, Rank 1 Demonic Beast with strength equivalent to the 5th stage of the Spirit Channelling Realm. It had many scars all over its body, insinuating the number of Demonic Beasts it had fought for this violet flower.
Tang Yin had concluded that this 3-Eyed Black Tiger was very strong even for a Mid-Tier, Rank 1 Demonic Beast. Fighting against this tiger would yield him enormous experience as well as a strong soul for his Heaven Devouring Abyss Martial Spirit to Devour, he could also obtain the strange violet flower.
Tang Yin did not ambush this 3-Eyed Black Tiger, he walked straight towards it in a flashy and non-discreet manner. The tiger was awoken from its slumber by the sound of Tang Yin's footsteps. Tang Yin wanted a fair fight this time.
The 3-Eyed Black Tiger roared towards Tang Yin while rushing towards him, Tang Yin also rushed towards the tiger with the Abyssal Blade in hand. Just as the 3-Eyed Black Tiger was about to pounce on him, he dodged out of the way and retreated.
The 3-Eyed Black Tiger was stunned, it thought it had met a mighty foe, yet it was just another coward that lusted after its flower. The tiger was enraged, it burst forth with a faster speed to pounce on Tang Yin once again.
Tang Yin sped towards a nearby tree and ran up it, simultaneously he jumped backwards while spinning in the air, he thrust his Abyssal Sword into the 3-Eyed Black Tiger's back, and he felt a force being cut through by his sword. He had learned this move while he was hunting wild beasts in the Outer Ring.
Once Tang Yin landed and looked at the 3-Eyed Black Tiger, he saw a long gash on its back. The tiger was truly enraged this time, with endless ferocity in its eyes, it rushed towards Tang Yin once more.
Tang Yin retreated, he could not fight the 3-Eyed Black Tiger head-on, its physical strength was too terrifying. Tang Yin retreated towards the flower as if he was going to snatch the violet flower and run away.
Once the 3-Eyed Black Tiger saw this, it went mad, it chased after Tang Yin at maximum speed, and it didn't hold back at all. Tang Yin was not alarmed, instead, a cold smirk appeared on his lips.
Tang Yin reached the boulder within 3 breaths, he did not snatch the violet flower, but instead went around the boulder and appeared on the other side. When he appeared on the other side of the boulder, the 3-Eyed Black Tiger had also arrived at the boulder.
Tang Yin swiftly turned around and stabbed at the seemingly empty space, the next instant however, the 3-Eyed Black Tiger turned the corner and saw the Abyssal Sword almost about to reach its face, it swiped its claws to defend itself at the last second.
Swoosh, Tang Yin and the 3-Eyed Black Tiger separated after that brief deadly encounter. However, the tiger had another injury, its paw which it had used to defend itself was profusely leaking with blood, by some miracle, it had not lost its paw.
Tang Yin and the 3-Eyed Black Tiger made eye contact, Tang Yin's eyes were filled with coldness and Killing Intent. The 3-Eyed Black Tiger's eyes were filled with hostile ferocity and madness.
