Chapter 54: Sword Dao Genius (4)
"Young hero, let's talk this over nicely—meow~"
With a thud, the tiger demon prodigy dropped to his knees before Su Chen, hoping the pitiful display might earn him mercy.
'Is this guy a tiger or a cat?'
Su Chen found the scene oddly unsettling. The tigers of the Southern Barbarian Lands were truly strange. He raised a hand and pointed toward the center of the lake, at the fruit hanging from the vines. "Go pick that fruit for me, and I'll spare your life."
Su Chen never took unnecessary risks when danger lurked. This convenient little tiger who had delivered himself was perfect for the job. The tiger demon prodigy glanced at the lake and immediately understood the peril hidden within.
"Young hero, may I refuse?"
His face twisted in misery.
"Die now, or take your slim chance at survival."
The sword hovering above his head pressed down a fraction deeper. Without another thought, the tiger demon prodigy plunged into the lake. The moment his feet touched the water, a massive shadow surged upward from below the surface—a ferocious blood-shadow fish, its power terrifying. Its jaws snapped open to swallow him whole.
