Chapter Fifty-two Seeking Death

  In Chen Xu's tense gaze, the heavily injured Sword Toothed Tiger's bright eyes gradually revealed a hint of understanding, and then, with a somewhat humanized nod towards Chen Xu, who was waiting in ambush on one side, it seemed to be saying that it already knew his intention.

  The next moment, something happened that made the eyes of the crowd of apes behind Chen Xu almost drop out. The body of this real jungle overlord trembled slightly, and then stretched out a foot as big as a millstone.

  It seemed to be showing off to the crowd, and it first exposed a few sharp claws on its paws. The cold light under the sunlight was like a basin of cool water, which directly poured onto people's hearts.

  Even without personally experiencing it, everyone can understand the sharpness of this claw. A bit of cold light gradually emanates from it, and it actually stirs up the air in front of the sword-toothed tiger's body, forming a mysterious and beautiful cloud of mist that is both elusive and visible at the same time.

  The saber-toothed tiger stood on three legs, raised one of its front paws, and swung its sharp claws in the direction of Chen Xu. With a whooshing sound, the sharp claws seemed to return to their sheath like a jade dragon returning to the sea, and were then retracted into the paw that was as large as a millstone.

  Thick calluses spread from the edges of its paws, thoroughly concealing the razor-sharp claws. Next, under everyone's stunned gaze, the Sword-Toothed Tiger surprisingly humanized itself by lifting up its four limbs one after another and making some movements to retract all the sharp claws inside.

  It wasn't until then that Chen Xu's heart, which had been stuck in his throat, finally calmed down. He knew that his judgment this time was not wrong, and the sword-toothed tiger was indeed no ordinary beast. Its intelligence was high, perhaps even surpassing that of the old apes in the Fire God tribe, reaching a fairly high level.

  Perhaps it can no longer be described as a beast, this saber-toothed tiger has its own civilization and is an intelligent species unique to humans.

  It's just unknown how they evolved on Earth, seemingly, from the archaeological record, such a creature has never appeared before.

  Soon, Chen Xu suppressed the doubt in his heart and thought of the mysterious crystal's appearance. For this intelligent sword-toothed tiger tribe, it wasn't anything strange anymore.

  Now his primary problem is still to survive under the attack of saber-toothed tiger, although the saber-toothed tiger understood his intention and decided to have a fair duel with him, so it withdrew its own weapon, but this only gave Chen Xu a thread of chance to survive.

  Believe it or not, even without using its sharp claws and teeth, even if it is seriously injured, this saber-toothed tiger is not something that the likes of King Kong or Lion can match.

  Most importantly, they absolutely possess wisdom no less than that of humans. Fighting against such creatures is no longer just a comparison of strength, but also a contest of human hearts, willpower, strategy, and skill. These are the factors that ultimately determine victory or defeat, and it's no longer as simple as before.

  At this point, Chen Xu's idea of calling all the apes to attack together was completely extinguished. For such intelligent creatures, being surrounded by low-level creatures would have no effect at all.

  If he wants to kill this saber-toothed tiger like he did with King Kong, it's simply impossible. I believe that when the time comes, the saber-toothed tiger will quickly hunt down all living creatures around him and then deal with him.

  This is the power of wisdom, at this point, Chen Xu has no other way out, he has pushed things as much as possible to his own advantage, what's left is a real death struggle.

  "Roar!"

  It stretched out its four limbs, arched its back and let out a low growl, then tightly closed its large mouth, retracting the rows of sharp teeth as well. It seemed it had no intention of using its razor-sharp fangs to attack either.

  At this time, without the unique pressure of the saber-toothed tiger, the crowd of apemen behind Chen Xu also recovered a bit, although their combat effectiveness did not recover much, but they also gained some courage, one by one pulling out the weapons beside them, and facing the saber-toothed tiger that had retracted its claws.

  But as for this scene, Jian Chi seemed to have not seen it at all, and only nodded his head towards Chen Xuan, with a hint of urgency flashing in his big eyes.

  With a loud shout, Chen Xu raised an eyebrow and naturally saw the ferocious expression of Sword Tooth Tiger in his eyes. He immediately ordered the super ape men to retreat and instructed them not to intervene no matter what happened, otherwise they would be severely punished.

  It's better to follow the rules in such matters, after all, in the eyes of these powerful intelligent beings, these apemen are basically useless and can't help with anything. If they go up, they will only make things more complicated and messy, and have no use at all.

  With his command, the crowd of apes who were not very willing to confront the saber-toothed tiger all let out a sigh of relief and quickly retreated into the nearby thicket, clearing a large area.

  This is where Chen Xu and Jian Chi Hu fought.

  Taking a deep breath, Chen Xuan's internal energy circulated rapidly several times. He wasn't going to wait for the Sword Toothed Tiger to make the first move. He knew his true strength was probably far inferior to this tiger, and all he could utilize was the opportunity to strike first.

  A low growl involuntarily escaped from the depths of his throat, and Chen Xuan's two feet seemed to have loaded infinite force, deeply sinking into the soft mud.

  As the two internal energies in his feet burst out like an explosion, a massive force came from his legs, as if he had loaded two reverse thrust rockets, instantly propelling his body forward, like an arrow off the string, and in the blink of an eye, he traversed over ten meters, landing right above the Sword Tooth Tiger.

  At the same time, Chen Xu's fists clenched, forming a worshiping shape in mid-air. As his internal energy rapidly circulated, he launched the cannon fist of Xingyiquan to its extreme, carrying a fierce gale that struck towards Sword Toothed Tiger's forehead.

  A sharp whistling sound rang out, and Chen Xu's blow even produced an afterimage. The sharp gust of wind blew up the white fur on the forehead of the sword-toothed tiger, causing its originally lazy expression to change in an instant, revealing a rather humanized look of admiration in its big eyes.

  Before this blow landed, Chen Xu only felt a flash of golden light in front of him. In his spiritual sense, a violent force suddenly descended upon him.

  Although he didn't make physical contact with this force, spiritually speaking, if it were to hit him, it would easily knock out all his internal organs, leaving no chance of survival.

  At the critical moment, Chen Xu had no time to think much. With his fist as the center, a fierce inner force burst out and created a small whirlpool in the air. Then he suddenly flipped over with this whirlpool as the pivot.

  His figure had just disappeared, and on the spot where he was originally located, a golden paw print the size of a millstone appeared, which belonged to the Sword Toothed Tiger.

  This blow fell through, and apparently also made the sword-toothed tiger somewhat surprised. The front paw stopped in mid-air, but the big tiger eyes were looking at the position in front of him, where Chen Xu had just landed with an eagle-like momentum.

  "My goodness, so fast!"

  He slightly steadied his figure, Chen Xu couldn't help but secretly wipe away a cold sweat. The speed of the Sword Toothed Tiger's attack was obviously beyond his imagination. His eyes seemed to be unable to capture its speed at all, and he could only rely on his strong perception ability to predict it in advance.

  At this moment, facing the big-eyed saber-toothed tiger, Chen Xu knew that he had underestimated the attacking power of the saber-toothed tiger despite having estimated it.

  "It's clear what I need to do next, that is to survive under the attack of the saber-toothed tiger. As for attacking it, haha, let's just save some energy!"

  As he sniffed the pungent smell in his nostrils, Chen Xu's gaze involuntarily shifted to the snow-white abdomen of the saber-toothed tiger. From this position, the wound could be clearly seen, but it was not as bloody as imagined, and instead had a faint blackish-purple color.

  Seeing this, Chen Xu judged that the Sword Toothed Tiger was not only seriously injured but also poisoned. This could be seen from the fact that it did not move far away from its original position.

  It seems that the poison in it is very potent, making it unable to move freely. Otherwise, just now it only needed to casually give Chen Xuan a scratch to send him to the afterlife.

  A soft whoosh, the wide sound waves vibrated in the air, shaking down all the withered leaves in the surrounding forest, as if it had rained, and a continuous rustling sound rose up.

  The Overlord Sword Toothed Tiger seemed to be very satisfied with Chen Xu's strength, and was preparing to get serious. The long white whiskers at the corner of his mouth trembled slightly, and a flash of light appeared as he slapped out with a claw.

  At this time, Chen Xu's eyes couldn't react at all, and the spirit of the sea of knowledge was stirred up, a fatal crisis rose from his heart, and his body naturally reacted, jumping up diagonally.

  As soon as his body had just left the ground, the sword-toothed tiger's paw slapped onto the position where he was originally standing. In the midst of the whirring wind sound, not even a single withered branch on the ground was broken.

  It can be imagined that Xiang's grasp of Li Dao is strong and fierce.

  But at this time, Chen Xu no longer had the time to sigh. The sword-toothed tiger's eyes gradually lit up with excitement as it missed a hit, its paws suddenly shook, and it kicked towards Chen Xu in mid-air.

  In the midst of his busy schedule, Chen Xu couldn't see the dangerous situation, but his spiritual aura was able to capture this deadly threat. He suddenly let out a long breath, circulated his internal energy to the Dan Tian, and quickly condensed it into a thousand-pound falling move.

  Fell from the air and sank deeply into the soft leaves.

  Then, a breathtaking battle began, the whiskers on the tiger's mouth kept trembling, lightly waving its left front palm, revealing an interesting color, constantly slapping the air, emitting a chilling and sharp buzzing sound, but not even a single leaf around was blown down, as if harmless.

  And within three meters in front of it, Chen Xu was like a fly, constantly dodging and hiding from the terrifying fly swatter.

  In the end, Ba Wang Xian Ya simply lay down and raised his left palm to continuously attack Chen Xu in front of him.

  Although Chen Xu was in crisis every time, with the help of a terrible spiritual response, he was still able to narrowly avoid the sword-toothed tiger's slap every time.

  Gradually, the sword-toothed tiger's strength increased, and its paws on the ground were no longer light and airy, but every time it stepped down, it would slap the ground out of a big pit. The leaves around it had long been swept away to who-knows-where.

  But in this way, Chen Xu's hanging heart gradually put down, he knew that if nothing unexpected happened, this battle would be over.

  Although the sword-toothed tiger's attack was getting stronger and more destructive, Chen Xu thought it was a sign of poor control over its strength.

  The current sword-toothed tiger has already been poisoned and can hardly control its own strength, it seems that the distance to its defeat is not far.

  At this time, Chen Xu's heart did not have much joy of winning.

  At first, he may not have understood, but after fighting for so long, he gradually saw another emotion hidden in the crystal eyes of the sword-toothed tiger - it was seeking death!
