Ying XianDa was so startled by the roar that he became somewhat dumbfounded. What was going on?

Was that the roar of a Spiritual Beast?

Before Ying XianDa could react, a pitch-black shadow surged violently out of the cave behind Tang Rao.

Ying XianDa's expression was quite spectacular.

The Dark Demon Leopard, with its ten-meter-long body and the giant black wings on its back, was shockingly formidable.

"I told you to leave; you didn't, so don't blame me..." Tang Rao said to Ying XianDa.

Ying XianDa: "..."

Damn, you just told me to leave, you didn't say there was such a vicious Spiritual Beast here.

Ying XianDa couldn't imagine, if even a mouse could be this vicious, how formidable this giant black leopard would be.

"Lord Dark Demon, it was this person who disturbed your rest; he is truly detestable." Of course, Tang Rao's communication with the Dark Demon Leopard was another story.

The Dark Demon Leopard was in a violent mood; obviously, being awakened by Ying XianDa had made it incredibly irritable.

"Roar!" The Dark Demon Leopard roared furiously at Ying XianDa, as an overwhelming aura swept through the area.

Poor Ying XianDa turned pale with fright.

This was simply not something he could handle; even the head of a clan would probably have to kneel before it.

This presence could definitely not belong to anyone in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Could it be... the legendary Golden Core?

At this thought, Ying XianDa nearly went insane; he was about to be butchered.

But soon, Ying XianDa was taken aback again. Why was Tang Rao right in front of the Dark Demon Leopard, yet it did not attack him?

Don't tell me you're related to the Dark Demon Leopard, I freaking don't believe it!

"Lord Dark Demon, I have roasted the Spiritual Beast meat, it's ready to be eaten. Don't let these insignificant fools disturb your pleasure," Tang Rao continued to communicate with the Dark Demon Leopard.

The Dark Demon Leopard looked at the spiritual beast meat in Tang Rao's hand, sniffed with its nose, and suddenly perked up. As expected, the meat was much more aromatic than before, and the meat was also filled with Spiritual Energy, very nice indeed.

"Good, I'll get rid of this annoying guy first!" The Dark Demon Leopard replied, and with a fierce flap of its wings, it charged swiftly toward Ying XianDa.

Ying XianDa was scared half to death. He wanted to turn around and run, but he knew it was useless. Turning his back to such a fierce beast would only lead to a quicker death.

"Tang Rao, let me go! Let me go! I won't seek revenge on you!" Ying XianDa shouted loudly. In his mind, this black leopard must have been tamed by Tang Rao, otherwise it made no sense for it to only attack him and not Tang Rao.

Tang Rao took a sip of his drink, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Let you go? Sorry, I really can't.

The Dark Demon Leopard wants to kill you, I can't stop it.

When you go down to Hell, don't say that I killed you; at most, I'm an accomplice.

Bang!

The next moment, the Dark Demon Leopard charged in front of Ying XianDa.

Ying XianDa used his strongest Spiritual Technique, but it was completely useless. With one swipe of its paw, the Dark Demon Leopard effortlessly dispersed Ying XianDa's Spiritual Technique. The claw tore a huge gash across his chest, and his organs spewed out, a sight so bloody it made one nauseous.

Ying XianDa did not die immediately; instead, he knelt on the ground, his body twitching, quietly waiting for death.

If he had known... he would never have entered this damned treasure space.

There was no treasure... only powerful Spiritual Beasts...

The Dark Demon Leopard no longer paid any attention to Ying XianDa, as this human was already doomed. With a flap of its wings, it returned to Tang Rao's side.

"Lord Dark Demon, this is spiritual beast meat." Tang Rao brought over the roasted Golden Core Spirit Beast, fragrant and steaming, with droplets of oil still bubbling on its surface.

The Dark Demon Leopard approached and sniffed, its eyes instantly lightening up.

"You eat first!" As per usual, the Dark Demon Leopard tore off a piece of meat casually and threw it to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao chuckled lightly, brought the meat to his lips, and began to eat.

While eating, he also took a few sips of wine.

Truth be told, the meat of a Golden Core Stage Spirit Beast indeed tasted great. Moreover, the Spiritual Energy contained within the meat was also colossal.

Had he still been in the Qi Gathering Stage, just one bite would be enough to achieve Foundation Establishment.

Seeing Tang Rao swallow the meat, the Dark Demon Leopard then began to rip and tear into its meal, splattering meat juice everywhere.

As for Tang Rao, he just quietly watched the Dark Demon Leopard wolfing down its food, a sinister glint passing through the depths of his eyes.

Beasts are ultimately beasts, and even if they develop some spiritual wisdom, it's still extremely limited.

Do you think having me taste it first makes it safe?

The capability of humans to poison is far from that simple.

In just over ten minutes, the Dark Demon Leopard had already finished its feast.

"The taste is indeed not bad, very good! Very good!" The Dark Demon Leopard conveyed its joy to Tang Rao.

"As long as Lord Dark Demon is pleased. By the way, I'll go pick some plants; later, I'll use the leftover bones to make a pot of soup which will taste even fresher," Tang Rao said, all smiles.

"Good!" The Dark Demon Leopard nodded its massive head, feeling extremely satisfied with the meal it just had.

Tang Rao turned around and left, moving away from the gentle slope towards Ying XianDa, who was not yet completely dead.

When he reached Ying XianDa, Tang Rao's right hand deftly removed the Space Token from his body.

After all, Ying XianDa was the second in command of the Ying Family; surely you had hidden away plenty of valuable items, too precious to waste.

"Tang… Tang Rao… you will die in the end, you will eventually… have a bad death," Ying XianDa stared unyieldingly at Tang Rao, barely holding on after fifteen minutes.

Still alive at this moment, he was being kept alive solely by his late-stage fusion cultivation.

"Pity, you won't be able to see the day of my death. Do you feel unwilling? Is your heart filled with resentment?" Tang Rao spoke with a smile.

Ying XianDa's eyes bulged, bloodshot.

"Goodbye now…" Tang Rao waved at Ying XianDa.

"You will die too! That black panther will kill you!" Ying XianDa roared out. Even though he couldn't hear Tang Rao's exchange with the Dark Demon Leopard, he had seen clearly that Tang Rao was not in control of the black panther, but had been captured by it!

"Really? Do you honestly think that a mere beast can kill me, Tang Rao? Are you looking down on me too much?"

Ying XianDa's face showed surprise, shock...

Could it be that Tang Rao was capable of killing a Golden Core Stage Spirit Beast? Impossible! Even with his treacherous methods, it was impossible, that's a Golden Core Stage Spirit Beast!

"Actually… it's about time," suddenly Tang Rao turned around, looking toward that gentle slope.

On the slope, the Dark Demon Leopard seemed to be getting restless, its breathing hurried, its body looking shaky, occasionally taking off into the air, but not making it more than a few meters before crashing back to the ground.

"Roar!!!" The Dark Demon Leopard roared madly at Tang Rao.

And Tang Rao, with a smile on his face, waved back at the Dark Demon Leopard.

"See, isn't it all taken care of?" Tang Rao turned to Ying XianDa.

Ying XianDa, already at his last breath, was struck by Tang Rao's taunt and suddenly couldn't catch his breath, convulsed a couple of times, and promptly rolled his eyes back, dead.

"Uh… died quite suddenly," Tang Rao muttered to himself, then no longer looked at Ying XianDa, instead focusing his gaze on the Dark Demon Leopard that was now tumbling down from the gentle slope.
