*Gulp
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the old man barely managed to hold back his fear as he retreated a few steps. In that instant, he felt like he was about to be swallowed alive. Thankfully, the heavenly oath was there to protect him.
And though he tried his best to appear calm on the surface, his mind was already in a mess. He didn't even know how a young boy suddenly turned into a black tiger. The first thought that came to his mind was that he was facing a demonic beast.
Although he had met a few demonic beasts when he was a cultivator, their strength at most was equal to the Pulse forging realm. But he had heard stories about how, when the demonic beasts would reach an incredible high realm, they would change into human form.
He couldn't help but wonder if he was facing one such entity.
Perhaps that might explain why he was so naive and could be fooled into taking a heavenly oath.
