Fang Lin inwardly cursed, this White Tiger could use the power of the Demon Core which was beyond his expectation.

The Demon Core is the root and source of the Demon Beast’s strength, but not many Demon Beasts can use the power of the Demon Core-

Firstly, unless the Demon Beast has a high enough level, has given rise to a human-like intelligence, it doesn’t even know how to use the power of the Demon Core.

Secondly, it’s very difficult to use the power of a Demon Core, unless the Demon Beast has inherited bloodlines, normal Demon Beasts wouldn’t be able to use the Demon Core inside them till their death.

However, this White Tiger, with its previous changes, shows that it is a Demon

Beast that has inherited some bloodlines and can use the power of the Demon

Core. Adding all of these, this Demon Beast’s might seem to be a One Transformation Eighth Layer cultivator, but actually, it’s hard to compare even with some common Demon Beasts at One Transformation Ninth Layer.

The power of a Demon Core, if fully exerted, is sufficient enough to kill Fang Lin instantly, leaving no chance to avoid or resist.

Thankfully, although this White Tiger can use the Demon Core power, its level isn’t high enough to reach that realm, and can only utilize a part of the Demon Core power.

But even so, Fang Lin is now in difficult circumstances, nearly driven into a corner by this White Tiger.

Although his Nine Heavens Step Skill remains steady, his footsteps are becoming increasingly heavy, as if weighed down by lead.

Fang Lin’s panting is also becoming more and more frequent, a sign of the rapid exhaustion of his inner strength and physical strength.

“Damn it! Why hasn’t the poisonous smoke taken effect yet? This is impossible!” Fang Lin sees a faint red light shining on the Demon Core and a fierce aura spreading, and he couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

Maybe Fang Lin’s grumbling worked, abruptly, the White Tiger’s body trembled slightly, then the light on the Demon Core quickly dimmed down.

Fang Lin’s eyes brightened when he saw the White Tiger’s expression quickly becoming listless, with a haze flashing in its tiger eyes, he felt overjoyed, knowing that his poisonous smoke finally worked at this moment.

“Damn! This White Tiger’s physique is truly powerful, it took so long for the poison to take effect! ” Fang Lin couldn’t help but exclaim, with lingering fear in his heart. If the poison had taken effect a little later, he would have been in grave danger.

The Demon Core returned inside the White Tiger’s body, its figure swayed and it started to spin in place, as though it would collapse anytime.

Fang Lin grabbed and a dagger appeared in his hand, but he didn’t immediately attack and chose to continue to observe.

Xu Shangao and others at a distance also let out a sigh of relief. If even Fang Lin couldn’t deal with this White Tiger, they could only flee for their lives.

The White Tiger stared at Fang Lin with its tiger eyes, full of shock and confusion, and a hint of fear.

It didn’t understand why it felt so weak, as though even a gust of wind could knock it down.

It clearly still had plenty of strength and a strong Demon Core power, but why couldn’t it use it at all?

The White Tiger, of course, wouldn’t understand. It had inhaled Fang Lin’s poisonous smoke. However, it was confused but not stupid.

The instinct of the Demon Beast made it understand that staying here could pose a risk to its life.

So, under Fang Lin’s astonished gaze, the White Tiger whimpered and ran into the darkness.

Although it stumbled as it ran, the White Tiger still disappeared from Fang Lin’s sight with its unyielding will.

Seeing this, Fang Lin paused for a while, then let out a bitter smile, put his dagger away and collapsed on the ground out of exhaustion.

“I’m beat!” Fang Lin grumbled, took another pill, and his inner strength quickly recovered.

As for the wound on his chest, Fang Lin looked down and saw that the effect of the white medicinal powder wasn’t very noticeable, there was still blood slowly seeping out.

At this moment, Fang Lin took out another bottle of medicinal powder and poured it on the wound. The medicinal powder was surprisingly black in color and gave off a pungent smell.

“Thank goodness I brought this Skin Regeneration Powder, otherwise it would be difficult to move around with this injury.” Fang Lin secretly said, and leaned against a tree to rest.

Xu Shangao and others came over, their faces showing relief, they were all obviously terrified by the dangerous battle between Fang Lin and the White Tiger.

“Fang, are you okay? If you really can’t handle it, don’t force yourself. Climbing to the top isn’t that important.” Xu Shangao said.

Fang Lin shook his head and said, “Let me rest one night, and I’ll be fine.”

Hearing this, Xu Shangao didn’t say anything else. Although he was worried, he knew that Fang Lin was a very sensible person. Since Fang Lin said so, it seemed that his injuries were not too serious.

“We don’t know what other Demon Beasts are here, shall we leave?” A young man cautiously said.

Fang Lin shook his head and weakly said, “This was the territory of the White Tiger, other Demon Beasts wouldn’t dare to appear here, there won’t be any danger if we stay here.”

Hearing Fang Lin’s words, everyone felt completely relieved, they sat around Fang Lin, implicitly protecting him.

The surroundings still had a faint residual of the ferocious aura of the White Tiger, as well as a slightly pungent smell of blood, they all didn’t dare to completely relax, even when resting, they kept one eye open.

After a while, Fang Lin fell asleep, he was too tired and needed a good rest, it was understandable for him to fall asleep unknowingly.

Seeing Fang Lin so exhausted, everyone acted as his protection. Especially Xu Shangao, he didn’t relax his guard all night and kept alerting for any movement around.

At dawn, Fang Lin opened his eyes, his eyes returned to their usual bright state, and the look of exhaustion vanished.

Although the wound on his chest had not fully healed, it had already recovered about seventy to eighty percent, as long as he didn’t make any big movements, it wouldn’t affect him greatly.

“There’s only one day left, I must reach the top before dark.” Fang Lin got up, and others also woke up immediately.

They delayed for a while and then continued to move upwards. However, since Fang Lin hadn’t fully recovered, their speed was quite slow. They were extremely cautious, whenever they noticed something strange, they would immediately retreat or change direction.

Along the way, they encountered some Demon Beasts a few times, but most of them had a relatively low level. They either drove them away or bypassed them.

They stopped and went, and by noon, they chose to rest. By this time, Fang Lin had fully recovered. His shook off the black powder from his chest wound, exposing the newly grown flesh underneath.

The new flesh looked tender, but with time, it would be unnoticeable.

The distance to the peak was not much, but the last stretch was the most dangerous.

Most of the powerful Demon Beasts are lurking on this last stretch, posing the greatest challenge for anyone who wants to reach the top.

Fang Lin looked up at the faintly visible peak, his eyebrows slight furrowed, and had a thoughtful look on his face..
