Chapter 27 Tiger Hunt

Just when Zhao Ting was feeling hopeless, he heard a loud shout from behind, "Brother Zhao, keep retreating!"

Zhao Ting heard the voice and, in his frantic state, looked back, overjoyed.

"Brother Jiang Long!"

Jiang Chen nodded to Zhao Ting, then moved forward with Jing Yue to meet Zhao Ting.

Seeing Jiang Chen and Jing Yue, the three tigers slowed their charge, soon confronting the three.

Zhao Ting had been in despair, but unexpectedly, Jiang Chen and Jing Yue appeared. Overjoyed, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Jiang Long, if you hadn't come, I would have died here!"

"My life was given to me by you, Brother Jiang Long!"

Jiang Chen laughed and said, "We can talk about that later. Let's deal with these three first!"

Zhao Ting nodded heavily and said, "I finally understand why everyone who came to hunt them died."

Jiang Chen also nodded, his doubts finally cleared.

It turned out the beasts here weren't alone but a family!

Four tigers, let alone three old hunters, even if three more came, it would be useless.

The three tigers circled Jiang Chen and the others a few times. Noticing that only Jing Yue held a short blade, they finally attacked.

Jiang Chen's expression hardened. "Brother Zhao, I'll leave the big one to you!"

"Brother Jiang Long, you should take it!" Zhao Ting said.

The largest tiger was actually the weakest of the three.

Zhao Ting felt that Jiang Chen was not as physically strong as him and had no weapon, so facing the weakest one should be safest.

Jiang Chen laughed. "Brother Zhao, you've already fought one. You have experience dealing with these big tigers, so you take it."

Zhao Ting couldn't help but feel touched.

He could tell that Jiang Chen was trying to give him a way out.

After the previous fight, he had indeed used a lot of energy.

If he really had to face the two younger tigers, he wasn't sure he could handle them.

"Alright, I'll remember this favor, Brother Jiang Long!"

After Zhao Ting finished speaking, he roared and charged towards the larger tiger.

Jiang Chen and Jing Yue also began to fight.

As the leader of the dark guards, Jing Yue was proficient in various combat styles.

Dealing with these beasts was naturally no problem.

She looked for various tricky angles, trying to take down her opponent as quickly as possible and then assist Jiang Chen.

After all, her greatest responsibility was to protect Jiang Chen.

Under her cunning attacks, the tiger was quickly cut with wound after wound, bleeding profusely.

Before long, the tiger collapsed to the ground from blood loss.

Jing Yue breathed a sigh of relief and was about to help Jiang Chen.

However, when she looked in the direction of Jiang Chen's battle, she found that the other slightly smaller tiger was already unconscious on the ground.

Jiang Chen was already helping Zhao Ting, who was struggling against the big tiger.

"His Majesty's skill is actually so amazing?"

Jing Yue was shocked. This was something she hadn't expected.

It seemed that the Qiankun Daoyin Technique was indeed a miraculous art.

Jiang Chen easily dealt with the more difficult tiger. After joining Zhao Ting's battle, he quickly punched the tiger in the abdomen a few times, knocking it to the ground.

Zhao Ting's forehead was covered in sweat. After the danger was over, he wiped his brow and said, panting, "Thank you, Brother Jiang Long."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Shall we rest for a while and then return to the inn?"

"Alright."

After speaking, Zhao Ting sat down on the spot, and it took him a long time to calm down.

The corpses of the four tigers weighed over a thousand pounds combined. Jing Yue made a simple sled, placed the four tigers on it, and then the three of them dragged it down the mountain together.

Ever since Jiang Chen and Jing Yue left together, the waiter had been coming to the door from time to time to look outside.

Each time he looked, the waiter sighed.

The longer they were gone, the slimmer the chances of them returning.

In the end, he sighed and, seeing that there was still half a jar of wine that Zhao Ting had ordered, took three large bowls, held the wine jar, and came outside.

Pouring wine into the three large bowls, the waiter sighed, "Three heroes, I told you, those beasts aren't easy to deal with, but you wouldn't listen."

"Alas! I can only send you off here."

With that, the waiter picked up a bowl of wine and poured it on the ground.

As he poured the third bowl of wine, he heard a voice from a distance, "Waiter, what are you doing?"

The voice made the waiter's eyes widen instantly.

Turning around, he saw Jiang Chen and the others walking towards him with smiles on their faces.

"Ghost... ghosts!"

The waiter screamed and subconsciously threw the large bowl in his hand at Jiang Chen and the others.

"It was the beasts in the mountains that killed you, not me! Don't come looking for me!" the waiter shouted.

Jiang Chen casually caught the large bowl and laughed, "Who told you we were dead?"

With that, Jiang Chen stepped aside and said, "The beasts in the mountains have been eliminated by us."

The waiter looked at the four tigers on the sled, instantly dumbfounded.

"This... you..."

Because of the shock, the waiter couldn't even say a word.

The innkeeper heard the waiter's scream and ran out with a stool in hand. When he saw Jiang Chen and the others and the tigers on the ground, he was equally stunned.

Back at the inn, Jiang Chen asked the boss to make some roasted tiger meat to try, and Jiang Chen left all the remaining tiger skins, tiger bones, and other things behind, taking two pieces for himself and leaving two pieces for Zhao Ting.

Zhao Ting resolutely refused. If it hadn't been for Jiang Chen's timely arrival, he would have died in the tiger's mouth.

Being able to save his life was already a great fortune. How could he have the nerve to take anything else?

Seeing that Zhao Ting didn't want it, Jiang Chen gave the remaining two tiger skins to Jing Yue.

Jing Yue was shocked and instinctively knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Zhao Ting's eyes widened, "What did you say? Your Majesty?"

Jing Yue then realized that her subconscious action had revealed Jiang Chen's identity.

Seeing Zhao Ting looking at him in confusion, Jiang Chen didn't hide it and said, "That's right, I am the current emperor of Great Wei. My real name is Jiang Chen."

Zhao Ting was shocked and quickly knelt down to salute, "This commoner Zhao Ting, greets Your Majesty!"

The waiter serving nearby and the boss calculating accounts at the counter also knelt down.

Jiang Chen smiled and waved his hand, "I came out this time for a private visit, so you don't need to be too restrained. Don't call me Your Majesty either. Just call me Young Master like Jing Yue."

Although he said that, the waiter and the boss were still a bit restrained, so Jiang Chen asked the two to take some tiger meat and go to the back to eat.

Zhao Ting was a straightforward person. Hearing Jiang Chen say this, he was no longer restrained.

After sitting back down, he exclaimed, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to be so skilled!"

Jiang Chen laughed and said, "Your skill is also good."

Zhao Ting shook his head. He had indeed thought he was strong, at least no one in Changshan was his match.

But Jiang Chen's strength, and even Jing Yue's strength, greatly frustrated him.
