The tiger spirit beast looked increasingly ferocious and invaded all the cultivators present there. All of the cultivators who were shoulder to shoulder fighting against were shocked because it seemed that the strength of the tiger was getting bigger and bigger.
When they were all in the limelight against the tiger, Jian Chen and Xiao Yu moved at their full speed towards the inside of the cave.
The tiger was delighted that Jian Chen had finally made it in and therefore, he made the decision to finish what he had to do.
“After the death of the previous owner of the Azure Sword, I got weaker and weaker over time. But I can't live anymore because I can't possibly make a contract with him. O successor of the Azure Sword, someday you will know that the Birth Weapon that appears in you will lead you to something unexpected.” The inner tiger and roared loudly towards the sky.
All the cultivators who were there did not understand what was happening and the next seconds, their eyes all widened knowing that something bad was about to happen.
“Death!” It was the tiger who made all the cultivators there surprised at not expecting that a spirit beast would use human language.
The bomb!
**
Jian Chen and Xiao Yu on the other side who were moving towards within the cave were shocked by the huge explosion that had occurred earlier. This was something they had never heard of because there was no way a cultivator could do something like that.
Wussh!
A sky-blue strong wind that was nothing but qi shot towards the inside of the cave and blew away the originally shocked Jian Chen and Xiao Yu.
Both of them immediately crashed very deep into the cave which made them arrive faster than they should.
Blug up! Blug up!
Jian Chen and Xiao Yu landed on the ground and gazed out with serious gazes.
“Do you know what exactly happened?” Xiao Yu asked with a serious face.
“I don't know. Come on, we have to hurry.” Jian Chen immediately stood up and picked up the large pouch he was carrying and shot towards the cave.
Xiao Yu only nodded following because this time was not the time to attach any importance to it as they had to rush away so that the other cultivators did not know that the two of them had entered inside.
**
Outside the scene of the previous big explosion, a tiger lying with almost the same breath was lost.
All the cultivators who fought him had perished. However, in the distance there were some cultivators who had originally been watching Jian Chen and Xiao Yu put on slightly grim faces.
“The two boys have gone in there. What should we do?” One of them asked.
“We have to split squads. Others report to the Patriarch, and others chase them to see what exactly is in there.” The other cultivators retaliated.
They all nodded then parted on the spot. However, when the cultivators who wanted to chase Jian Chen and Xiao Yu approached, they felt a fairly heavy pressure from the tiger that was now lying on the ground. They immediately stopped and did not enter the cave because they felt that if they approached, they would be killed in an instant.
“We can't pass! The spirit beast had not died completely! We better wait for the Patriarch to arrive!” One of them suggested for fear of death.
The other two cultivators nodded in agreement as they placed more importance on their lives than Jian Chen and Xiao Yu or whatever was inside there.

Not long after, they arrived at the end of the cave which had another small road which was the exit. Jian Chen and Xiao Yu stared at what exactly the previous tiger was guarding which made them speechless.
“We have to take him?” Xiao Yu asked in a doubtful tone.
Jian Chen was also speechless as he gazed towards the haystack and in the middle was a very visible little tiger still a baby. According to his calculations when staring at the size of the little tiger, it is certain that he was not born long ago.
The little tiger woke up and looked around. He then walked towards the edge of the haystack and ate an herb voraciously. It was in just one bite and in less than five seconds, a few herbs that were placed there were swallowed.
After which, the tiger looked around again and stared intently at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen also looked silent as he felt the special aura present on the little tiger. He slowly walked closer and tried to take the little tiger but the tiger bit him.
“Aduh.” Jian Chen was surprised that the tiger bit him. But it was just a small wound that released a few drops of blood.
The little tiger licked the dripping blood excitedly. And after that, something strange happened that made Jian Chen startled.
The tiger's body shone in a second and then disappeared completely.
“What happened?” Xiao Yu approached and asked hurriedly as there was a dazzling light emitting inside the cave within a second.
Jian Chen did not answer. His face looked very serious this time. He took the little tiger into his arms and said as he moved towards the exit, “Xiao Yu, we should hurry out of here.”
Xiao Yu was still confused but he simply complied and directly followed Jian Chen.
**
Meanwhile, the tiger that was about to lose its breath from using its last strength earlier to blow up its qi also seemed to smile a little.
“It seems that she succeeded.. In this way, my duty as the companion of the previous generation Azure Sword holder and my duty as a mother has been completed.” After muttering those words in his heart, the tiger instantly faded into specks of sky-blue light and disappeared completely.
The three cultivators who were there were surprised by what they saw. The pressure they felt had also disappeared completely.
“Come in! We will tell this to the Patriarch later!” One of them went straight into the cave and the other two followed.

Meanwhile, Jian Chen who was on the move in the small cave that would soon reach the exit continued to put on a serious face because he certainly knew what was going on.
“There is no information that says that spirit animals can do something like that, which is to speak into the human mind. And this little tiger, he has the same aura as the Azure Sword when this spirit beast gulps my blood.” Inner Jian Chen. He thought of other possibilities and he could interpret that this was contract-making even though there was no such record that he knew from the book he had.
And the species of small tiger that was in his arms was not recorded at all. However, his name made Jian Chen feel that the world he entered was not as simple as it seemed from this moment on.
“This little tiger made a contract without my consent at all. Therefore, I also know the type. What a dominating name, Heavenly Tiger God!” Inner Jian Chen. He also thought that everything seemed planned. Because, when he made a contract with the little tiger, there was also information that said that he was the spouse of the Azure Sword holder in all ages. Which means, its appearance in Dongfang city must also have been predicted by the big tigress before.
