I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1337: The Gentleman Has Extraordinary Luck
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
Shock!
Xu Fengyue remained motionless, as though thunderstruck, his body rigid in terror from the scene unfolding before him!
As Qinghe Town's second most formidable warrior, he had always stayed composed during hunts. His unusual display of alarm prompted the rest of the group to cluster around anxiously, inquiring about the issue.
"Captain? You... what's the matter with you?"
Tracing Xu Fengyue's line of sight, an elderly team member's features tightened while he hazarded a speculation.
"I've never witnessed the Captain in such a state. Was that demon tiger in the pit exceptionally fierce while alive?"
Xu Fengyue at last shook off his stupor and instinctively bellowed aloud!
"Far beyond merely fierce!"
"This... this turns out to be a Martial King level Eclipse Moon Tiger!"
His tone boomed like thunder, instantly widening every eye around him. Wei Xiaowei, unaccustomed to such chaos, staggered backward several paces in alarm, her expression brimming with incredulity!"Green Mountain harbors a Martial King level demon tiger?!"
Before she finished speaking, Xu Fengyue's countenance had darkened seriously.
He quickly scanned the surroundings with unease. Detecting no further stir, he dropped his voice to disclose the reality!
"If my judgment holds..."
"The pelt of this Eclipse Moon Tiger shows signs of transformation. It must have drawn in the essence of heaven and earth for hundreds of years. Its fur has mostly shifted, save for the white whiskers. True to the ancient tales, it entered the Whitening Phase. Soon enough, it would have surpassed the Martial King realm and overcome destiny itself!"
"This creature wasn't simply at Martial King level; it was a veteran fiend at the pinnacle of the Martial King realm!"
These revelations left the whole group gasping sharply!
"Hiss!!!"
A wave of astonishment rippled across the team. Faces drained of color in unison. Those closest to the pit backed away swiftly, like an icy gust had chilled them to the bone!
This legendary terror—a demon beast at the peak of Martial King rank—now rested lifeless in plain view. The notion was utterly inconceivable. Even seasoned trackers blended awe with dread, exchanging silent glances for what felt like ages, too stunned to utter a word.
Merely observing it from afar parched their throats and drenched them in icy perspiration.
Even in death, the tiger's majestic presence lingered!
A profound hush descended over the excavation site, interrupted solely by labored breaths.
In this oppressive air, the squad's thoughts scattered. Dread flickered in their gazes as they scanned the area warily. Green Mountain now appeared alien and brimming with endless perils.
What events had transpired here eluded their grasp.
What immense terror could have slain such a Demon King in this very spot!
For an instant.
All resembled startled fowl, peering about uneasily. Their earlier bold hunter spirit and assurance vanished abruptly amid this horrifying display.
Even the deputy top expert, Xu Fengyue, bore only raw terror and astonishment on his visage.
Noticing the group's utter fright, Yi Feng at last understood that the small tiger he had slain in self-defense possessed an impressive heritage.
With matters at this point, he had no choice but to advance, exchange greetings, steer away from the subject, and soothe the others.
"Captain Xu, everyone, are you okay?"
"A mist swept through before, separating us. Now that you've all come back, I feel relieved at last."
These words pulled the assembly from their trance.
Observing Yi Feng approach with steady poise, Xu Fengyue appeared to grasp something. Bypassing the salutation, he pressed urgently!
"Mr. Yi Feng!"
"What on earth transpired here?! How did a Martial King level Eclipse Moon Tiger meet such a tragic end?!"
His piercing stare demanded answers, brooking no dodge. No facade could slip past his watch; he resolved to unearth the facts immediately!
This commanding aura promptly knotted the team's nerves!
For common folk, it proved deeply unsettling, embodying a true powerhouse's bearing.
Yet.
Yi Feng, wise to the world by then, found this pressure stirred no waves in his mind; it resembled a youngster's fit.
He offered a light smile in response.
"I have no idea."
"Once separated, I searched for you in the vicinity. Then I reached this place and discovered the demon tiger already lifeless in the pit, exactly as it appears to you."
"Looks like... it perished here some time back, doesn't it?"
This account sparked doubt in Xu Fengyue's mind.
Perished some time back...
Such a grand Demon King, a beast beyond even the elder chief's grasp. How could it simply expire here without cause?
Still, after scrutinizing for moments.
Yi Feng's gaze stayed serene as a pond. Not a hint of deceit emerged; his words rang with utter sincerity.
Abruptly, Xu Fengyue creased his brow and turned to the veteran beside him.
The pair shared prolonged looks yet voiced nothing. Glancing once more at Yi Feng, the educator, no oddities surfaced.
It couldn't possibly be...
That a frail bookman overpowered and slew a Martial King level demon tiger, could it?
Absurdity!
Perhaps this demon tiger truly met its end here naturally?
The tension endured mere heartbeats, yet the mood grew oddly peculiar.
Wei Xiaowei, unable to stay silent, addressed Xu Fengyue with bewilderment.
"Captain Xu, why are you turning so harsh on the teacher all of a sudden? Don't tell me you suspect the teacher drew this Martial King level tiger here, or even slew it?"
"The teacher has done our Qinghe Town a tremendous favor. How could you act so impolitely..."
Her words voiced the group's irritation at once.
Xu Fengyue saw he'd overstepped. He chuckled sheepishly and shifted focus with a pretext.
"Well..."
"I simply wanted to pinpoint how the tiger died!"
"Alas, this beast is so daunting that it rattled me into rudeness briefly. With the tiger long deceased, finding it marks a massive boon for us. No need to linger on it. If I offended you, please forgive me, Mr. Yi Feng. Else, Niece Wei might hold it against me."
His lighthearted quip eased the tension at last. The group unwound, and chuckles filled the air.
"Hahaha..."
"Tsk tsk, Miss Wei favors the newcomer!"
Wei Xiaowei stamped her foot, blushing as she bowed her head, too shy to speak further.
The assembly grew ever more at ease, shedding all strain. They mustered bravery to draw near and inspect the tiger, marveling aloud.
As calm returned, Yi Feng merely smiled softly, unperturbed.
"Brother Xu, think nothing of it."
Xu Fengyue exhaled deeply in relief and promptly signaled with a gesture!
"Team!"
"This seems like fortune from above; our stroke of luck has struck!"
"Mr. Yi Feng possesses remarkable fortune to stumble on a Martial King level tiger corpse. Let's carve it up and share now, then haul it home for a festive evening!"
His enthusiastic command ignited delight in every eye.
The group set to flaying and butchering the creature themselves. Wonders and gasps echoed in the woodland darkness. Such a yield hadn't graced them in years. Securing a Martial King level remains this night provided tales to boast for decades!
In less than an hour.
The demon hunters' squad made their way back to Qinghe Town, their joyous banter and thrilled chatter piercing the nocturnal heavens.
