The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 5 ~ Fire Tiger

Zhang Ziyi walked limply towards Luori forest. The young man had no intention of returning home, after what happened to him just now. Didn't want his father and mother back worried about seeing him in a bad state.

Zhang Ziyi checked his pants pocket.

"Uhhh... Good thing I still keep some of my dad's pills here!"

Without a second thought, Zhang Ziyi directly swallowed the two grains of pain-relieving pills. Sitting cross-legged absorbed the efficacy of the pill. It took Zhang Ziyi half an hour to finish absorbing it.

After that, the young man continued walking.

Zhang Ziyi reached the edge of the Luori forest. He began to prepare the sword. Be on guard with something that will happen to him later. Because the Luori forest is famous for its many wild animals. Not only ferocious beasts, even spirit herbs were also present in this forest.

Luori Forest itself is divided into three regions. Edge, Inner and Core. The deeper, the ferocious beasts present in each region also grew stronger. For example, on the edge of this Luori forest, most of the ferocious beasts possessed physical strength equivalent to cultivators of the Swordsman Realm stage 1-5.

Zhang Ziyi walked deeper and deeper. So far, the journey has been so smooth. There were no wild animals blocking his path.

After some time, Zhang Ziyi finally arrived at the border between the forest of Luori, the Peripheral and Inner parts. At the border gate, there was a warning board.

"Geez, end to end."

For a moment, Zhang Ziyi let out a long sigh. Then start walking back. Looking for heart grass around there.

"Here we go!"

Zhang Ziyi was so happy to have found the thing he was looking for. Immediately he ran with vigor towards the hundreds of herbs. It is red and white, with grains of red light surrounding the grass of the heart.

Zhang Ziyi noticed one by one the plants. Choosing plants that are worthy of harvest, while under 10 years old, he let it thrive. Due to the efficacy of liver grass under the age of 10 years is not so dominant.

Some time has passed. There were now five liver grass herbs in his hands. Each of the heart grass he harvested himself was 10-12 years old.

Zhang Ziyi continued walking, walking down every single one of those herbs that grew in long rows. Strangely the grass of the heart that previously looked a little, even now he felt more and more.

Zhang Ziyi continued to look at every heart grass, looking for a heart grass that was over 10 years old.

"Goa!"

Zhang Ziyi stopped his steps. The grass of the heart grows many rows of elongated and centered in a cave. Out of curiosity, Zhang Ziyi entered the cave.

Inside the cave, Zhang Ziyi relied on the grass of the heart as a light. Because each grass of the heart produces glowing red light grains, illuminating the entire length of the cave.

Slowly but surely, Zhang Ziyi stepped foot. Getting into the cave.

A few moments walking, Zhang Ziyi gasped in shock, when he found a large tiger, sleeping. The pattern itself slightly shifted from the pattern of the tiger in general. Where the stripes of the Tiger are blood red, as color with the grass of the heart. From the striped color, the beast is named as the Fire Tiger.

Zhang Ziyi's eyes widened when he saw the plant growing right in front of the tiger Sirah. The grass of the heart is larger than the grass of the other heart. A hot aura that is so concentrated also does not stop emanating from the herbal plant. Zhang Ziyi guessed that the heart grass was at least around 100 years old.

Although Zhang Ziyi was not very lucky in terms of cultivation. But regarding knowledge, Zhang Ziyi could not be underestimated.

"I thought, this tiger might be the one guarding that heart grass. And if my guess isn't off the mark, this fire tiger harnesses the heat energy radiated from the heart grass herb plant to increase its strength."

A crazy idea suddenly occurred in the young man's mind. Steal the 100-year-old heart grass right in front of the tiger's head.

"Although the consequences I will receive will be so happy, but if the grass of my heart I get, I might break through the next realm. Also, it doesn't hurt to try."

Zhang Ziyi began to think of a way to steal the heart grass without being noticed by the Fire Tiger. Even so, it is impossible to escape by carrying the Hundred-year-old heart grass without knowing the Fire Tiger who is currently asleep.

"Ah... I know!"

Zhang Ziyi pulled out some heart grass that was nearby. After feeling enough, he then turned the herbal plant into flakes of red glowing dust. Instantly the aura emanating from the combined heart grass grew hotter.

Getting closer, Zhang Ziyi felt the aura emanating from the Hundred-year-old heart grass also getting hotter.

Zhang Ziyi walked slowly closer to the tiger. As much as possible he tried to be careful, and did not wake the Fire Tiger.

His eyes focused on the Fire Tiger as well as the ten-year-old heart grass. But unfortunately, his feet were stumbling, rocks. He himself unintentionally let out a small scream.

The tiger's eyes suddenly opened wide, revealing blood-red eyes.

"O–ow!"

Quickly Zhang Ziyi got up then rushed out of the cave. Damn tiger does not want to let go just like that. With lightning speed, the tiger got up and chased after Zhang Ziyi.

The power of the Fire Tiger itself was equivalent to a stage 7 Swordsman Realm.

Run and keep running. Zhang Ziyi tried his best to speed up his footsteps. Even though he knew that the tiger would definitely catch him. But he insisted on running as hard as possible. I don't know which direction it's heading. She was so scared, she forgot the direction. And enter the Luori forest deeper.

The Tiger got closer to Zhang Ziyi, staying a few meters before reaching him. On the other hand, in front of Zhang Ziyi, it appeared that a large lizard was waiting for the child.

"Damn, why is my fate so unlucky like this."

In such a precarious situation, Zhang Ziyi's brain tried to think hard.

"I have to stay alive. Their humiliation I haven't countered yet!" muttered Zhang Ziyi.

The young man accelerated his pace. Turning direction is also impossible, so the only way is to go to the lizard.

The distance with the huge Lizard stayed five meters, while the Tiger behind him was 2 meters adrift with Zhang Ziyi.

As if unwilling to give the child to the Fire Tiger, the black lizard jumped up to pounce on Zhang Ziyi. Likewise with the fire tiger, the animal also jumped up and was about to pounce on Zhang Ziyi.

"Pass!!" Zhang Ziyi muttered softly. Everything was in the previous calculation.

The man then did a front roll. Avoiding the black lizard. The black lizard itself which was currently positioning its body in the air, only saw the young man manage to escape beneath it. His own body he could not control, until it collided with the Fire Tiger.

The fight of the two ferocious beasts instantly broke out.

Zhang Ziyi noticed the two beasts fighting for a moment.

Look, the position of the black lizard is not so good. Zhang Ziyi guessed the black lizard's physical strength, at least on par with a stage 6 Swordsman realm cultivator. Different level with the Fire Tiger.

"Laughter!" Zhang Ziyi clucked.

Seen there, the black lizard could not provide any meaningful resistance against the Fire Tiger.

Zhang Ziyi came back running fast before the fire tiger finished clearing the Black lizard. Run and keep running. Sure enough, not long after, the Fire Tiger was seen again who was now chasing him behind.

Run for a while. Unfortunately, he found a dead end in front of him. The towering cliffs blocked Zhang Ziyi's path.

On the other hand, the Fire Tiger had been about 50 meters away from where it stood.

"Damn!" Zhang Ziyi clucked. "Why do I always have bad luck!"

The man cursed his fate which was almost never lucky. There is always bad luck.

"There's no other way!"
