In the dense forest, sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, dotted with rapidly moving spots.
Cao Zhang and Li Jin moved slowly with swords in their hands, and slowly moved in front of Cao Cao.
Facing such a ferocious beast, they could not let Cao Cao take danger, so the two of them tacitly chose to protect him behind them.
"Father, the two of us are coming, you stay back and pay attention to safety!" Cao Zhang said in a low voice.
He didn't want to show off his bravery, nor did he want to show off in front of Cao Cao, but faced with this situation, he could only make this choice.
Cao Cao looked at the tiger in front of him and understood the intentions of Cao Zhang and Li Jin. He also knew that this was not the time for him to show off. He slowly backed away and whispered: "You two, be careful too!"
The tiger's sharp claws kicked up the sand, and its fanged mouth opened, letting out a deep roar.
Its eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the muscles on its body were clearly defined. It was obviously ready to go!
Cao Zhang stared at the tiger and held the sword in his hand tightly.
After the fight with the cub just now, the wound on his body burst open again and began to ooze blood and be accompanied by pain.
At this time, Cao Zhang couldn't care about this. No matter what, he must muster his last strength and join forces with Li Jin to fight the tiger in front of him to the end.
Li Jin stood quietly aside. He knew very well that he must go all out to protect the Cao family and his son in front of him. He had already made up his mind to kill the tiger even if they both died together!
The tiger glared at the three people in front of him, suddenly let out a roar, jumped up, and rushed towards Cao Zhang at an unbelievable speed.
Cao Zhang moved at the moment when the tiger pounced. He nimbly dodged the tiger's claws and then quickly counterattacked.
The edge of his sword arced in the air, and in an instant, a ray of white light cut through the void and penetrated straight into the tiger's back.
However, the tiger's speed and strength exceeded Cao Zhang's imagination. It twisted its body and escaped the fatal attack.
Then the tiger opened its strong front paws and clawed hard at Cao Zhang's chest.
Cao Zhang had no time to dodge and was caught by the tiger. He felt a heavy hammer on his chest, his internal organs began to churn, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Cao Zhang only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth uncontrollably.
Cao Zhang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, then lowered his head and looked at his chest. Because he was protected by armor, although the tiger claw caused internal injuries to him, it did not scratch the armor and cause external blood loss.
The tiger knocked down Cao Zhang with one blow and did not stop attacking. It quickly approached Cao Zhang and tried to pounce on him again.
Of course, Li Jin would not watch Cao Zhang in danger, so he quickly took action and rushed forward. The sword in his hand struck down like lightning and slashed towards the tiger's back.
Even though the tiger twisted its body just as quickly, Li moved in and out of the sword much faster than Cao Zhang. It didn't completely dodge, and the sword cut a wound on its back.
Ouch!
The tiger let out a deafening roar, then rose into the air and slammed its claws into Li Jin's body at lightning speed.
Li Jin turned sideways to avoid it, but he was still a step too slow, and his chest was scratched by the tiger's claws.
He only wore cloth without the protection of armor. He was scratched on the chest, leaving a deep wound, and blood immediately poured out.
When Cao Zhang saw Li Jin injured, he shouted worriedly: "Season!"
Cao Zhang quickly got up from the ground, flew forward, and swung his sword at the tiger who was about to attack Li Jin again.
This time, his sword power was more fierce and swift, and the surrounding trees swayed with him in the wind, making an uproar under the momentum of the sword edge.
Li Jin ignored the injury on his chest and quickly swung his sword forward, while Cao Zhang launched a pincer attack.
Relying on their previous cooperation with Wang Yue, the two quickly formed a tacit understanding and launched a series of attacks against the tigers.
One of the two was flexible, the other was fierce, and the two swords kept flying. The tiger gradually fell into trouble. It kept roaring angrily, but it could not escape the attacks of these two warriors.
Li Jin used his agility to shuttle briskly around the tiger. Every sword move was sharp and continuous, like a storm.
Cao Zhang also endured the pain in his chest, opened and closed his sword widely, and his sword was as fierce as a violent storm.
The tiger was forced into dangerous situations. With the combined efforts of the two, it was gradually suppressed.
The tiger's eyes were full of ferocity, and he dodged the sword attack again and again. Seeing the right moment, he grabbed Li Jin hard with his front paws.
Li Jin nimbly dodged and attacked the tiger's body. This time he did not miss. The sword pierced the tiger's back hard and blood spurted out.
The tiger howled, opened its mouth, and bit Li Jin's left arm directly.
Li Jin gritted his teeth in pain, and a stream of hot blood flowed from his arm, but he did not retreat. Instead, he picked up his sword and slashed at the tiger fiercely.
Seeing this, Cao Zhang rushed towards the tiger without hesitation, jumped up, rode on the tiger's back, and stabbed the tiger's back with the sword in his hand.
Two blood arrows rose into the air, and their swords accurately pierced the tiger's body.
The tiger roared in pain and rolled its body in pain, trying to shake off Cao Zhang who was riding on its back.
However, Cao Zhang and Li Jin cooperated tacitly and stepped forward together to launch another attack.
Cao Zhang stabbed the tiger in the heart with his sword from behind, while Li Jin swung his sword and stabbed the tiger in the head, trying to kill it with one blow!
The tip of Cao Zhang's sword accurately penetrated the tiger's heart, and blood spurted out.
Li Jin's sword also penetrated the tiger's head from the top of his head!
The tiger roared in pain, let out its last howl, and struggled hard.
Cao Zhang and Li Jin did not dare to relax. They lay on the tiger's back and stabbed with their swords continuously, leaving many wounds on the tiger's body.
At first, the tiger kept wailing and struggling, but its movements gradually weakened. Blood continued to flow from its body, gradually dyeing the ground red.
Finally, it collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless.
Cao Zhang and Li Jin stabbed the tiger several more times to make sure the tiger was dead. Then they stopped and sat down on the ground.
The two of them gasped for air. Their bodies were covered with sweat and blood, and they had turned into two "bloody men"...
"Ziwen! Well done, you two really killed the tiger!" Cao Cao came back to his senses at this time, stepped forward and praised Cao Zhang repeatedly.
Cao Zhang weakly raised his head, turned around and looked at Cao Cao, shook his head slightly, pointed at Li Jin and said: "Thanks to Ji Ji's full protection, otherwise I would never be able to kill the tiger with my own strength!"
Cao Cao nodded vigorously: "You are a good guard. I will definitely reward you heavily when you go back!"
Cao Zhang did not care about Cao Cao's reward, but looked at Li Jin's bitten left hand with concern and examined his injury.
"Don't worry, no muscles or bones were injured, it was just a simple trauma. It will be fine after a while of rest!" After Cao Zhang checked the wound and determined that there was no problem, he comforted Li Jin.
Li Jin gratefully wanted to say something to Cao Zhang, but he waved his hand to stop him: "Ji Ji, after today, you and I are brothers of life and death, no need to say more!"
At this moment, the sound of hoofbeats from the brigade was heard in the distance, followed by the shouts of Cao Chun and Xu Chu: "Sikong!"
