Chapter 149

Chu Xun said that the amiable old man had only half a year to live.

Not only the amiable old man, but Azure Dragon was also stunned.

Of course, they would not doubt the authenticity of his statement, because Chu Xun never made any irresponsible remarks.

“What seems to be the matter?” The amiable old man was worthy of being the leader of a country. He had experienced a lot, so he soon brought his emotions under control.

“Look carefully at the four claws of the tiger.” Chu Xun pointed to the tiger in the painting and said.

When they heard that, the amiable old man and Azure Dragon looked at the four claws carefully. Finally, they both shook their heads in doubt. They did not see anything unusual.

“Can't you see that its four claws are bound by a white line?” Chu Xun said.

They looked again and finally saw the white line that Chu Xun mentioned.

“What is the problem there?” The amiable old man still did not understand. It was normal that there would be some flaws in a painting.

Chu Xun's eyebrows were slightly raised. Then, he took out several jade stones from the Storage Ring and held them in his hands. After that, he made a magic signet with one hand and scattered the jade stones in different directions.

“Go.”

Chu Xun tapped the air with one finger.

Buzz!

Four light curtains appeared in the sky and covered the whole room.

Then Chu Xun wrote in the air. A simple and complex pattern began forming.

The amiable old man and Azure Dragon were stunned.

Chu Xun tapped the air again and the pattern in mid-air suddenly turned golden in color, flew toward the painting of the tiger, and finally disappeared into the painting. The painting of the tiger actually moved and rippled, like a stone falling into a calm lake.

“Howl!”

The tiger roared. The momentum of its strength could be felt and the roar shook the ground.

The amiable old man was stunned. As the leader of a country, he had seen many extraordinary things, but this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a strange thing.

Azure Dragon's eyes were filled with shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

It was unbelievable that the tiger became alive and came out of the painting. Its body length was like a three meter long hill. Its eyes were scarlet and filled with a black aura. It had a big mouth and sharp tusks, and looked very ferocious.

As the giant tiger walked, a clattering sound could be heard. On each of its four claws, there was a white iron chain, as thick as a child's arm. It seemed that they were made of silver.

Hum!

While the giant tiger breathed, two currents of black air spurted out of its nostrils, which corroded the ground and left two holes, each as big as a fist.

Azure Dragon's hairs stood up, and he stepped back a few steps, and stood next to Chu Xun.

“Howl!”

The roar of the tiger was full of violence and ferocity. It stamped its feet and rushed toward Chu Xun. In mid-air, it opened its mouth, and one could smell its stinky breath.

The amiable old man almost fell down in fear. After all, he was just an ordinary person.

Azure Dragon felt s.h.i.+vers crawling up his spine and he mobilized his Internal Breath subconsciously.

Chu Xun looked calm.

When the tiger was less than 10 centimeters away from Chu Xun, it was restrained by the iron chain that chained its four claws, so it could not move forward at all.

Bang!

The tiger fell to the ground, cracking the red bricks beneath it. It raised its head and gave an angry roar.

The amiable old man turned pale. When he thought that his back had been facing such a terrible monster every day, his legs weakened and began to tremble.

“Hawl!”

The tiger suddenly gave another deafening roar.

The fierce tiger turned around and its giant tail waved in the air, bringing about sounds of air exploding.

Chu Xun caught Azure Dragon and the amiable old man, and stepped back with them, avoiding the tiger's tail.

“Crack!”

The giant mahogany desk of the amiable old man was. .h.i.t by the tiger's tail and splintered into pieces.

The tiger had a killing intent and was very fierce. Seeing that it could not hurt Chu Xun and the other two people, it became furious. It roared and destroyed all the things that were within its range.

Chu Xun frowned. What a fierce Evil Spirit of Tiger.

“I know you have been wronged. I can help you regain freedom and reincarnate.” Chu Xun said to the tiger.

The fierce tiger turned around and stared at Chu Xun with its scarlet eyes. It was roaring constantly in a low tone, and streams of black air spurted out of his nostrils, which eroded the ground and left fist-sized holes, from time to time.

“I will set you free first.” Chu Xun flicked his hand, and the Reincarnation Line erupted.

Clang! Clang!

Sparks flew in all directions and the silver chain, which had encased the tiger's four claws, broke. After breaking, they directly turned into four pieces of magic paper, and finally into ashes.

“Is this the doing of the cultivator?” Chu Xun's eyebrows were slightly raised.

“Hawl!”

After the silver chains were broken, the tiger roared and rushed toward Chu Xun ferociously, opening its mouth as if it wanted to bite Chu Xun.

“You beast.”

Chu Xun hummed coldly and waved his hand. A white line shot out and directly knocked the tiger back.

The fierce tiger fell and rolled on the ground, before it stood up. Then it roared and rushed toward Chu Xun again. Its claws, the size of a bowl, went straight for Chu Xun's neck.

Chu Xun snorted and raised his hand. The tiger was. .h.i.t again.

Boom!

The fierce tiger b.u.mped into the wall. The light curtain emitted colorful lights and directly knocked it down.

“If you dare to show your tusks again, don't blame me for hurting you.” Chu Xun said angrily.

“Hawl!”

The fierce tiger roared, then the red bricks on the ground exploded, and it jumped toward Chu Xun for the third time.

“You brought about your own destruction. It is not my fault.”

Chu Xun was also angry. He clenched his fists, rushed out and hit the tiger with a powerful blow, which resounded like thunder.

Bang!

The fierce tiger roared and its hill-sized body directly exploded in the air, turning into a cloud of black air and dissipating.

Err…!

Azure Dragon and the amiable old man were so pop-eyed with amazement that they looked like two frogs. Such a terrible monster had actually been smashed into nothing by Chu Xun.

Chu Xun sighed, shook his head, and then removed the magic formation around the room.

The amiable old man and Azure Dragon felt dizzy for a moment, and then they felt confused. Had they been dreaming just now? Everything in the office had not changed, the ground had not been eroded by the black air, and the desk was intact. But when they looked at the painting of the tiger, they almost jumped up. The painting was still there, but the tiger in the painting had disappeared, leaving only a blank s.p.a.ce.

“What's the matter, senior?” Azure Dragon gulped and asked Chu Xun. It was so strange that it subverted his previous perception.

The amiable old man's face was also full of curiosity.

“What you saw just now was the evil spirit of the tiger. The tiger in the painting is not a painting. Someone slaughtered the tiger, sealed its spirit with evil means, and then sealed it in the painting. This tiger died unjustly, so its heart was full of resentment. Over time, its resentment turned into an evil spirit,” said Chu Xun.

This tiger died of injustice, so Chu Xun planned to help it to reincarnate. Unexpectedly, it had lost his mind. Chu Xun could only kill it.

The amiable old man's and Azure Dragon's faces were full of shock. If Chu Xun had not told them, they would never have thought there was such a strange thing in the world.

“Senior, now that you have killed the evil spirit of the tiger, is the chief safe now?” Azure Dragon asked. Chu Xun had said before that the chief had only half a year to live.

The amiable old man also looked at Chu Xun hopefully.

“He is safe now.” Chu Xun said and then patted the amiable old man on the shoulder. “When you have time, go to Gujiang City, find a man named Chen Hanlong, and buy some bottles of Immortal Water from him. After you take it, your spirit which was eroded by the evil spirit will be replenished, and you will live a long life.”

The amiable old man nodded his head seriously. It was a matter of life and he would not be careless.

Azure Dragon had a strange look on his face. Suddenly, he felt a little bit sorry for the amiable old man, who was standing at the top of the pyramid in the secular world. That position was so high that some information could not get to him. For example, Chen Hanlong was the subordinate of Chu Xun.

Besides, he thought of another thing. At that time, the National Security Agency received an encrypted file, which said they had to get the recipe for Immortal Water, by fair means or foul. On the encrypted file, there was the amiable old man's signature, but now it seemed that the amiable old man did not know about the Immortal Water at all. Therefore… someone had pretended to be the amiable old man.

Azure Dragon was so shocked that he was sweating all over. This matter was too terrible and too serious. He had to ask his teacher for instructions, and then start to investigate it as soon as possible.

Looking at the blank s.p.a.ce in the painting, Chu Xun shook his head and said, “It is impossible for two tigers to live in harmony, unless one is male and the other is female.”

Then he looked at the amiable old man and joked, “Later, you can find someone to draw another tiger in the blank. Remember, it must be a female tiger.”

“Nonsense.” The amiable old man was both ashamed and angry. He strode to the painting and tore it into pieces. He vowed that he would never hang any paintings which had tigers in them, again.

“Chief, where did you get this painting?” Azure Dragon asked.

The amiable old man was slightly stunned for a moment. Then his eyes grew cold gradually and he said, “Liu Zizai sent it.”

At that time, he found that although the painting was not drawn by a famous artist, it was extremely domineering, so he liked it very much and hung it in the office. Unexpectedly, he was almost killed by it.

Chu Xun was also slightly shocked. As an old saying goes, one can survive from natural disasters, but he will not be able to, if he brings on the evils himself. “Liu Family, when I come back from the Heaven Tao Sect, I will destroy you with my own hands.”
