Chapter 22: Immortal Artistry Martial Skill, Bodhimanda Blood Lotus
Chapter 22: Immortal Artistry Martial Skill, Bodhimanda Blood Lotus
After Sun Changbiao's death, his four daughters were taken in by Master Sun, while Liu Shi, who had introduced Sun Changbiao to the Spirit Infants Sect, was so frightened that she miscarried. She was also driven out of the Xu Family Compound by Second Manager Xu Beihu because of her involvement with the sect.
Master Sun found a small courtyard for Liu Shi outside, where she could rest and recover from her miscarriage. Sun Changbiao's four daughters had not joined the Spirit Infants Sect, so Li Che had spared their lives. However, Sun Changbiao's wife had voluntarily joined the sect and had even led the plot to harm Li Che's daughter.
At the time, Li Che had needed witnesses and had left her alive to testify. But now, Li Che feared that this woman would continue to lead Spirit Infants Sect members to harm Xixi.
Therefore, it was time to clean up the situation once and for all.
Li Che changed into his traveling clothes and charged into the wind and snow. After a short while, he arrived at the southern part of Thunderstrike City. He found a dilapidated courtyard, where the snow was piled high and soft.
Inside the courtyard, a stove was burning, and boiling water was emitting a warm, steamy atmosphere. Li Che covered his face with a mask, wore a conical hat, and donned a black robe. He moved stealthily, his footsteps quiet on the snow, and approached the house.
Inside, incense sticks were burning, and the gray smoke swirled around. Li Che poked a hole in the window paper and peeked inside, seeing a frail figure kneeling in front of a Three-Headed Six-Armed Wrathful Spirit Baby Statue. The figure was kowtowing and rubbing its hands together.
"Holy Spirit Teachings, Cleansing and Dust-Free, Reincarnation Without Worry Technique... Upper Deity above, I, a humble woman, will ensure that the Li Clan Spirit Baby is returned to its rightful place. Please bless my child's reincarnation..."
Liu Shi's chanting and devout kneeling did not escape Li Che's notice. As he gazed at the Wrathful Spirit Baby Statue, his face beneath the Cute Bull Mask twitched, and a hint of killing intent emerged in his eyes.
He raised his arm, and a sleeve crossbow shot out an arrow! The arrow struck the statue's head, pinning it to the wall. The commotion caught Liu Shi's attention, and she turned around in terror. Li Che did not waste any time and shot another arrow, piercing Liu Shi's throat.
Liu Shi's eyes widened, but instead of fear, a crazed smile spread across her face. "Deputy Incense Master... please..."
Li Che remained calm, having anticipated this move. He stomped his foot, causing the ground to shake and snow to explode into the air. His massive frame shot out of the courtyard like a cannonball.
A blood-curdling scream, like a cry and a laugh, echoed from outside. Li Che glanced in that direction and saw a figure leaping towards him. The figure wore a gray robe, carried a knife, and wore a crying male child mask. Its eyes blazed like fire.
Another figure, wearing a female child mask and carrying an Eight Trigrams Staff, crouched on the courtyard wall, its eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and menace. The air was filled with the sound of rushing Vital Energy, and the snow seemed to melt away as the killing intent intensified.
"Indeed, you intentionally killed our Spirit Infants Sect member... Who are you?" a cold voice asked from the knife-wielding figure.
Li Che's eyes locked onto the figure, and he felt a sense of familiarity. He lowered his voice, his tone laced with probing, and replied, "Zhao Chuanxiong?"
The courtyard fell silent, and after a moment, a low, muffled laughter erupted.
Suddenly, a knife flashed, and a fierce blade aura swept through the courtyard. Li Che stomped his foot, and the snow beneath him exploded, sending shards of ice flying in all directions. The knife-wielding figure charged forward, but Li Che's snow-covered defense weakened the attack.
Hmm?
The figure struck the snow, but its blade momentum had already weakened. In the next instant, Li Che felt a low, piercing whine in the air, like something sharp was cutting through it! He glanced around, his eyes narrowing.
A thread!
A thin, razor-sharp silver thread!
The figure's long knife clashed with the thread, producing a shower of sparks. The sound of cutting air accompanied the whirring of three consecutive arrows shooting towards Li Che!
The figure, tall and imposing, yet with cunning and ruthless tactics, deflected the three arrows with its knife.
Before Li Che could even catch his breath, he unleashed a powerful punch with his arm, his muscles taut like a drawn bowstring. His body shot out like a military crossbow, and his nearly two-meter-tall, robust physique brought an overwhelming sense of oppression.
His fist struck like a bullet, causing the sky to explode with snow, turning it into a hazy mist! It wasn't a martial skill, just a pure and simple punch.
In a fleeting moment, Li Che seized the opportunity and killed the Deputy Incense Master. The blade swept out fiercely, its aura raging, and it forcefully withstood Li Che's punch. With a force of two thousand pounds, the unleashed power slammed down, tearing through the air with a fierce gale.
A loud boom reverberated, accompanied by the sound of the airflow being crushed.
The impact slammed into the Deputy Incense Master's Cute Cow Mask, causing it to shatter into four pieces. His hair became disheveled, and a face that Li Che was all too familiar with appeared before his eyes.
"Zhao Chuanxiong..."
Li Che stared coldly at that face, confirming the identity of the Deputy Incense Master. It was indeed the County Magistrate's Deputy.
Killing Liu Shi and confirming the identity of the Deputy Incense Master...
Today's objectives were all achieved.
"Take action! Stop watching and kill this sinister and cunning brutal killer, the Ox Demon!"
Zhao Chuanxiong's face turned extremely gloomy as he stared intently at the Cute Cow Mask, feeling as if he were facing a demon.
It was a genuine thousand-pound Ox Demon with immense strength!
The figure on the courtyard wall also stood up, slowly drawing the Bagua Stick from his back. The powerful Vital Energy surged and intertwined.
"This Ox Demon is a Bone Tempering Foe with considerable strength. Don't underestimate him!"
Zhao Chuanxiong spoke in a cold voice.
"Hmph, he doesn't even know martial skills... What's there to underestimate?"
The figure wearing the Girl Mask on the high wall sneered and leaped down, holding the stick with one hand, and charged towards Li Che.
Li Che's eyebrows furrowed, feeling a bit of pressure.
It seemed it was time to unleash a powerful move.
Li Che tapped his toes, and his figure soared. Under his mantle, the sleeves suddenly billowed.
"Ox Demon, take my Bagua Stick!"
The stick struck with astonishing force, countless sticks intertwining and overlapping, creating a mesmerizing sight!
Martial Skill!
Li Che felt the pressure. Up until now, he hadn't learned any martial skills...
However, Li Che remained calm. His fingers grasped, and countless Thousand Spider Threads spread out densely, swirling and dancing wildly within the entire courtyard!
[Celestial Craft] Dao Fruit reached Level 2, approaching Level 3. Li Che was not only skilled in crafting mechanisms but also adept at using them, reaching an exquisite level. Countless spider threads entangled the heavy and powerful Bagua Stick.
Using Celestial Craft, he countered the martial skill!
Li Che raised his hand and followed up with a sleeve crossbow, firing three arrows in rapid succession.
The arrows pinned down the Bagua Stick wielder, and with a heavy stomp, Li Che leaped onto the courtyard wall.
"Trying to escape? Where are you going?!"
"Blood-Crazed Wild Blade!"
At this moment, Zhao Chuanxiong had recovered his breath. He drew his blade, and the sword aura surged, humming with a brilliant glow. His Vital Energy boiled, and he unleashed another martial skill, slashing towards Li Che.
Li Che swept him with a casual glance.
His hand trembled, and in his broad palm, a "Bodhimanda Blood Lotus" appeared. It was the last of his three hidden mechanisms.
Crushing the Bodhimanda statue with a kind expression, Li Che lightly tossed out the remaining lotus platform.
"This sinister Ox Demon... even has hidden weapons?!"
Zhao Chuanxiong was startled, but his swung blade's momentum was already difficult to reduce. He gritted his teeth and continued slashing.
However, the blood-colored lotus platform mysteriously hovered in midair.
"Boom."
Following the explosion of fire, it began to spin rapidly.
Whoosh, whoosh, rustle...
Countless fine needles, thin as cow hair, fell like Bodhimanda's tears, a heavy rain in the mortal realm.
