In front of Tang Xin and another person stood a cat demon named Ah Miao, who had formed a gang that usually operated around the Bai Du Mountain Range.
Recently, due to a large sect in Qingzhou mobilizing elite troops to sweep through the Bai Du Mountain Range, they also managed to reap some benefits.
Although their gang, which engaged in robbery and deceit, wasn’t considered a righteous force, the elders were primarily focused on demon cultivators. As long as they didn’t cause trouble and just followed behind to pick up leftovers, the elders would turn a blind eye.
With a significant reduction in demon cultivators, the Bai Du Mountain Range had become much safer than before, emboldening them to enter and seek opportunities.
For example, isolated elite disciples from cultivation sects.
These disciples, not very advanced in their cultivation, carried valuable items, making them lucrative targets. Moreover, as long as no one was seriously hurt, the cultivation sects wouldn’t mobilize their full force just for revenge.
“Hmph,” seeing that the other party had no intention of surrendering, Ah Miao coldly said, “Fists and feet have no eyes; if you get hurt, don’t blame me for not warning you, meow!”
This wasn’t her first time clashing with sect disciples, and she was well aware that these cultivators were much stronger than human rogue cultivators of the same level.
Superior techniques, solid foundations, and guidance from elders… The difference between sect cultivators and rogue cultivators was significant.
But she was confident in her own abilities!
As a half-demon, she could practice some human techniques and possessed physical qualities far superior to ordinary humans.
In terms of pure physical combat, she was stronger than most human Foundation Building cultivators!
“Take this, meow!”
She roared, and her powerful fist wind howled out, the shockwaves leaving deep gorges in their wake.
“Heaven Opening Fist!”
Her exceptional physical strength, combined with her ninth-grade Foundation Building realm, made this strike overwhelmingly powerful.
A human of a lower realm than hers couldn’t possibly withstand it!
On the other side, Tang Xin took a half step back, without any significant movement in his body, and threw a punch in response.
“Meow~~”
A pure cat’s cry echoed in Ah Miao’s ears.
Why meow like a cat when you throw a punch?
Bang!
The two fists met, clashing with equal force!
“How is this possible?”
A human of this realm actually managed to withstand his punch head-on? Could she be one of those extremely rare cultivators who specialize in physical strength?
“Sky Opening Fist, Triple Strike!”
The cat demon not only packed a powerful punch but also moved with extraordinary agility. She threw three rapid punches that were almost too fast for the naked eye to follow.
However, the human in front of her matched her with three punches of his own.
“Meow meow meow~~”
Accompanied by three cat meows.
Damn it, his fierce attacks had no effect on her at all!
“Meow meow~~”
Moreover, her punches seemed to carry some kind of magic, making them unavoidable and forcing him to take them head-on.
The immense power was unimaginable, and the inability to dodge was even more so!
Are all disciples of the cultivation sects such monsters?
“This is tricky,” shouted Ah Miao, “Let’s gang up on her!”
Hmph, they were just robbers trying to block the road; who would actually fight one-on-one? Victory belonged to those who achieved their goals!
The members of the Meow Meow Gang were loyal followers of their leader. The gang was formed to follow her, and they were utterly devoted.
At her command, the rest immediately surrounded them.
Zhou Yu saw that the situation was turning sour and wanted to step forward to help.
“No need.”
Tang Xin waved her hand and then looked at the cat demon with a smile that was not quite a smile.
“It seems you don’t really like yourself, do you?”
“What?”
Ah Miao frowned in confusion.
Tang Xin smiled without answering.
The Meow Punch, when used on this cat demon, did not produce three times the effect, but rather about one and a half times.
This indicated that the cat demon in front of her was not particularly fond of “cats.”
“Charge!”
“Attack!”
“Gang up on her!”
Several human cultivators rushed over. Their cultivation levels were comparable to Tang Xin’s. Logically, in a many-against-one situation, they should have been able to take her down easily.
Just as Tang Xin was about to be overwhelmed,
“Meow? Meow! Meow~~”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of meowing echoed around, and before the cultivators could even touch her, they were each sent flying.
The same moves, the exact same actions, but the power was at least doubled!
“This,” Ah Miao was stunned, “how did she do that?”
“Because everyone has a heart that loves cats.”
Tang Xin said with a smile.
“Damn it,” a cultivator who had been knocked down struggled to his feet, his expression resolute, and launched another attack at her, “Don’t bully our leader!”
“Meow~~”
This time he was sent flying even further…
The more one loves cats, the more severe the backlash they receive; such is the formidable nature of the Meow Fist.
“Boss is so cute, you can’t bully her!”
“Meow~~”
Bang!
“We must protect the Boss!”
“Meow~~”
Bang!
The subordinates shouted various slogans, yet time and again, Tang Xin knocked them to the ground.
After several rounds.
“Enough,” Ah Miao’s tail drooped, “We give up…”
She had realized that the person before her… was definitely hiding their true strength!
This guy was not just a mere Foundation Building cultivator as she appeared; the punches she threw grew stronger and stronger, which fully confirmed this!
Because of her high strength, she could control her punches at will, making them light or heavy as she wished, and they were almost impossible to dodge.
Only a true master could achieve such feats!
“Boss…”
Several subordinates showed faces full of self-reproach.
“It’s not your fault, it’s my lack of insight,” Ah Miao said dejectedly, “I didn’t expect to encounter a hidden master…”
“Are you done fighting?” Seeing the other party admit defeat, Tang Xin also stopped and said, “You know the rules, right? The loser has to pay a price.”
The opponent was not weak either; if they really fought to the end, the situation wouldn’t be good.
“Understood,” Ah Miao placed her hands on the hem of her shirt and said, “First, I need to expose my belly button to apologize, right…”
“…”
Such matters, naturally, couldn’t be resolved with just an apology.
Tang Xin wasn’t interested in the possessions these guys carried, so she simply stated,
“I’m currently short of hands for exploring the dungeon, so you’ll serve as labor,” she said indifferently, “I’m letting you off because we share a love for cats. If it were outside, I wouldn’t let you leave without paying a hefty price.”
Although the members of the Meow Meow Gang weren’t exactly good fellows, at this moment, they were quite obedient and had no complaints.
Since they had arrived first, Tang Xin inquired about the earlier situation.
“Two righteous cultivators?”
Ah Miao immediately remembered.
“Yes, I saw them. But they were in a hurry and emitted a very strong aura, so we didn’t dare to attack. We just saw them heading deeper into the dungeon… Oh right, after that, a group of people followed them.”
“Moreover, from the aura, one of them might very well be… a Golden Core stage cultivator!”
