The old lion overheard Jiu Shen's words and at this moment, he realized that this guy must have come to this place to save these tigers.

The old man revealed a look of anger. He summoned his remaining courage as he channeled his true essence. Since it has come to this, is there still anything to worry about? He still needed those tigers to find the whereabouts of that Glacial Sovereign Tiger.

"You damnable human! You dare go back on your words! I'll fucking kill you!" The old man shouted hoarsely as he stared at Jiu Shen with an enraged look. He then morphed into a huge golden lion with numerous sparks of lightning flowing around it!

Rooaarrr!

This mighty lion's ear-splitting roar fell into deaf ears in front of Jiu Shen. He did not even seem to care about it as he casually destroyed the chains that locked the poor tigers in place.

"Filthy human! You have greatly angered me! So what if you are strong?! I am an Origin God Realm savage beast with the noble Savage Thunder Lion bloodline! Roaarrr!" The enraged lion glared at Jiu Shen with menacing eyes. He then lunged towards him, intending to strike its sharp claws at Jiu Shen's defenseless back!

An ordinary-looking black sword suddenly appeared in Jiu Shen's hands. The plain-looking sword emitted a dazzling radiance as it slowly revealed its true appearance. Archaic patterns and the intertwining dragons can now be seen on this sword.

This is Jiu Shen's Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword. A super-powerful weapon that he got from the system after scamming it...

Jiu Shen swiftly turned around and lifted his sword to block the claw of the lion.

Claang!!

Sparks flew in midair as the lion's claw and Jiu Shen's sword clashed. The ground beneath their feet caved in after that one exchange!

The old lion took a step back as it continued to stare warily at Jiu Shen. He could sense a strong draconic power coming from the sword in that human's hands. If not for his Savage Thunder Lion bloodline, he would have already succumbed to its terrifying aura!

The injured tigers could not believe that this human who had suddenly saved them was actually such a strong expert!

"Savage Thunder Lion bloodline? I get it now. So that drop of blood that the system was talking about was within you all along... In that case, there is no use in letting you live anymore..." Jiu Shen muttered nonchalantly as he glanced at the lion.

The old lion growled threateningly at Jiu Shen upon hearing his words. He then summoned his lightning powers and aimed them towards Jiu Shen.

Several dozen streaks of lightning hurtled like golden serpents towards Jiu Shen.

The injured tigers who saw this scene felt their bodies going numb. This was the power that subdued all of them. They did not even have the power to resist and could only wait as the lion tied them in chains.

Zap! Zap!

Facing this, Jiu Shen casually brandished his sword as if a child swinging his toy. The serpent-like streaks of lightning vanished after coming into contact with Jiu Shen's sword. In just an instant, he destroyed all the lightning bolts aimed in his direction!

The old lion revealed a shocked look on its beastly face when he saw how Jiu Shen had easily destroyed his attack. With just one sword strike, all of it was gone...

Jiu Shen did not remain idle after that. He lifted his sword and slashed it down in a quick manner! This sword attack produced a keening sound as an invisible wave of violent air tore through space and lunged towards the dumbstruck old lion!

Rumble! Rumble!

The mountain where the headquarters of the Lion Clan was located experienced a frightening earthquake after Jiu Shen released his strike! All the Lion Clan members were startled and they could not help but stare at the base of the old lion. The old lion's cave of dwelling was now a total mess! The mouth of the cave was covered with huge boulders and rubbles, a telltale that it had experienced the most amount of damage.

When the cloud of dust settled, all the lions finally saw the figure of Jiu Shen who was holding a black heavy sword in his hands. Behind him was a group of injured tigers looking at his back with respect and admiration.

"This... What happened?" A lion asked in panic after witnessing this scene. However, no one was in the mood to answer his question.

Jiu Shen unsummoned his sword and walked towards a pile of rubble not far away from him. He gave it a kick, causing this small pile of rubble to turn into dust...

After that, a severely injured lion finally came into everyone's view. Its huge head was covered in blood and there were multiple lacerations on its body.

The bloodied old lion revealed a look of horror when he saw Jiu Shen looking at him with a calm expression. This was the first time he had revealed a look of despair after being unrivaled for more than a thousand years.

"Hu-Human, I admit that your strength is greater than mine and I don't regret dying in your hands, but please allow me to have one final request before you kill me." The old lion spoke in a calm tone as it stared at Jiu Shen.

"Oh?" Jiu Shen's expression remained unchanged, but he allowed the old lion to continue speaking.

"You came here to save the remaining members of the Tiger Clan, so you must have already planned to kill everyone in my Lion Clan. The massacre of the Tiger Clan has nothing to do with them and it is because of my greed that I ordered them to attack the Tiger Clan. They are innocent, so please don't kill them." The old lion pleaded in a calm voice.

The expressions of the tigers behind Jiu Shen changed, but they offered no words or suggestions. They remained silent as they waited for Jiu Shen to answer the old lion's final wish.
