Chapter 32: Sleeping Dragon Elephant, Ox Demon Kills the Bagua Stick Warrior
Chapter 32: Sleeping Dragon Elephant, Ox Demon Kills the Bagua Stick Warrior
As a father, Li Che understood that his safety was linked to the future of his wife and daughter.
Therefore, to ensure his safety, he disguised himself as an Ox Demon before setting out.
Due to the self-made elastic clothing, he didn't immediately activate Vajra Transformation, and with a height of 1.9 meters, he wouldn't stand out too much.
Following his memory and familiar route, he arrived at his uncle's house.
From a distance, he saw a familiar Bagua Stick.
The figure squatting on the ground, carrying the Bagua Stick, was the Bone Tempering Warrior whom Li Che had killed Liu Shi together with Zhao Chuanxiong, besieging him at that time.
"Bone Tempering Warrior... doing such a thing?"
"It seems you're after me."
No one in his uncle's family cultivated martial arts, and his cousin Li Zhengran was merely a pen pusher, too weak to even tie a chicken, let alone deploy a Bone Tempering Warrior.
Just provoking a Tendon Opening Warrior would be like killing a chicken with an ox's blade.
Therefore, the opponent's intentions were not pure.
Moreover, his uncle had come to inform him, wanting to borrow a stay at Xu Family Compound, and Li Che had a seventy percent certainty that the other party was targeting him.
"Seventy percent certainty... this grasp is already too high. The Spirit Infants Sect has never given up on Xixi, and their means are even more extreme."
"You want to force me to death, to make my wife and daughter have to move out of the Xu Family Compound?"
"How ruthless."
Li Che closed his eyes, opened them again, and the Cute Ox Mask was now filled with overwhelming killing intent.
However, the more the killing intent was revealed, the calmer Li Che became.
Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit violently pulsated, devouring and suppressing all the energy within Li Che's body.
This was a small transformation after the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit's maturity devoured divinity, reaching sixty percent.
In addition to releasing the activated Vajra Transformation, there was also the effect of completely devouring the vital energy and concealing cultivation and energy fluctuations.
Li Che called this the "Sleeping Dragon Elephant," like a dragon in deep slumber, unperturbed by any movement.
After suppressing his energy with the Sleeping Dragon Elephant, Li Che stepped forward, merging with the wind and snow, approaching the figure wearing the Girl Mask in the courtyard.
The wind howled and roared amidst the snowstorm.
The figure squatted, seemingly smiling yet not, staring at the door crack, completely unaware of Li Che's silent approach.
When he sensed something amiss, Li Che had already appeared behind him, suddenly activating Vajra Transformation, his body instantly expanding, like an inflating balloon, his bones clashing and booming, his tendons twisting and snapping!
Amidst the resounding rumble, he transformed into a refined iron cast!
Substantial vital energy seemed to breed like a coiling snake, spreading horizontally, and the Snake Inner Strength further spewed, intertwining with the vital energy, coiling around Li Che's arm.
Without a word, Li Che clenched his fist and slammed it down!
Terrifying power, in the moment the fist collided with the Girl Mask Warrior's body, instantly unleashed and exploded, tearing flesh and spraying blood!
The bones seemed to emit a cry of unbearable burden, almost on the verge of breaking.
The Bagua Stick Warrior stumbled in the snow, several meters away, accompanied by surging airflow and swirling white snow mist, slamming into the earthen wall, causing the snow piled on the black tiles to shake and fall.
"Found you..."
A hoarse voice emerged from the Ox Demon's mouth.
Echoing throughout the courtyard, inside and out.
Inside the house, Li Zhengran was terrified, trembling like a cicada in winter, fear enveloping his entire body.
Outside, the gods were fighting, and he feared... that they would be affected.
"Cough, cough..."
In the snow.
The figure staggered to its feet, half of its body torn and bleeding, blood dripping from the hand gripping the Bagua Stick.
The Girl Mask was filled with cracks, appearing slightly damaged.
"Ox Demon..."
The Bagua Stick Warrior coughed up blood, his eyes filled with determination.
Li Che looked at him indifferently, without any further words.
That single sentence... was already enough.
Killing, no need for more words.
Kill, that's all.
This Bagua Stick Warrior had already made it onto Li Che's kill list, and besides him, Zhao Chuanxiong and the entire Spirit Infants Sect... were all on his list.
Now that they've met... isn't it a convenient coincidence? Time to send you on your way!
Twisting his thick neck, the muscles on his back wriggled, his spine surging like nine giant pythons.
Taking a step forward, the entire courtyard's snow exploded.
Amidst the misty snow, a towering figure like a giant emerged, enveloped in surging energy, tearing through the snow mist, appearing before the Bagua Stick Warrior.
Raising his palm, the airflow shattered, and as his five fingers clenched, the air seemed to burst!
Clenching his fist, he slammed it down.
Like a white tiger in the snow, amidst the raging wind, a tiger claw fiercely descended!
Death instantly enveloped the Bagua Stick Warrior.
In just one month, the brutal Ox Demon had grown to such an extent, his aura was so terrifyingly powerful!
Bone Tempering... Perfection!
Just a month ago, he was at the initial stage of Bone Tempering, but now... he had reached perfection!
What a monster?!
But at this moment, he had no time to think further, and with a roar...
He channeled his vital energy, igniting his inner strength, and faced the swift and thunderous Tiger Fist with a horizontal block using the Bagua Stick.
Boom!!!
The Ox Demon's punch, heavy and oppressive, slammed down onto the Bagua Stick!
The stick instantly bent, emitting a mournful cry!
The terrifying ten-thousand-pound force gushed out, as if the air itself was shattered in an instant!
The snow and mist between the two spread out, like ripples on a pond!
The raised snow, high as a stage, resembled a rising curtain!
Black and robust hair, bright eyes beneath the mask, shining like stars!
The Bagua Stick Warrior felt his blood run cold, the terrifying force dissipated through the stick, shattering his third-level inner strength, causing his arms to fracture, veins to burst, and blood to gush forth.
However, Li Che remained calm, clenching his fist and slamming it down.
In a flash, the Bagua Stick flew out of the warrior's hand, and Li Che unleashed another punch, infusing it with the Xu Ji Eight-Linked Bone-Shattering Spear technique he had just learned that morning.
His fist became a spear, tearing through the raging air current and unleashing ten-thousand-pound force, pounding into the chest of the Bagua Stick Warrior.
It was as if a muffled explosion had gone off, the inhaled air within the warrior's chest, and every rib bone, shattered under that punch, along with his internal organs and scorching blood, splattering onto the snow-covered stage.
His steel-like body still emanated scorching heat.
Li Che retracted his fist, his masked eyes coldly scanning the lifeless Bagua Stick Warrior, a Bone Tempering Warrior, whom he had brutally killed with his own hands.
With that, he crossed out a name from his kill list.
The pungent smell of blood permeated the courtyard, where the howling wind and snow mourned.
Inside the house, Uncle and his family were already terrified, too scared to breathe.
Especially after seeing the brutal killer through the door crack, Li Zhengran felt his legs turn to jelly, almost collapsing.
Fortunately, the terrifying Ox Demon was not a bloodthirsty maniac.
His appearance seemed to be solely for killing the Ling Infant Sect warrior wearing the girl mask and carrying the Bagua Stick.
Li Zhengran, drenched in sweat, mustered his courage and peered through the crack again.
But outside, the snowstorm had calmed, and the Ox Demon was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a bloodstained corpse lying on the ground, its blood staining the spirit infant woodcarving, looking eerie.
Li Zhengran dared not look further, shivering as he retreated inside. Uncle couldn't even smoke, and the entire family huddled together, too scared to breathe, in complete silence.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from outside.
It was the sound of footsteps crunching through the soft snow.
"Uncle, it's me!"
Hearing the voice in the courtyard, Uncle Li Liang's face lit up with joy: "It's Ah Che!"
Li Zhengran, Liu Chunming, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, Li Che was a woodcarver at Xu Ji Woodcarving Shop, a man of status, and his presence alone gave them a sense of security.
After opening the door, Li Che, dressed in black and wearing a conical hat, stood outside with a solemn expression.
"Ah Che..." His cousin, Li Zhengran, swallowed hard and spoke incoherently, describing the recent events.
Li Che's face turned pale with shock: "The Ox Demon? The one with a five-hundred-tael bounty on his head?"
"Quick! Pack up and leave immediately!"
"This isn't something we should get involved in. Hurry to Xu Ji Compound; it's safer there."
"That dead man... was a Bone Tempering Warrior! A terrifying warrior who could kill me with one punch. How frightening must the Ox Demon be to kill him? Let's run!"
Li Che's eyes revealed a trace of genuine fear, and he spoke in a low voice.
Hearing this, Uncle's family panicked. A Bone Tempering Warrior?
Wasn't he the kind who could leap over roofs and walk on walls like a hero?
Such a figure had died in their courtyard... It was time to leave; they couldn't stay here any longer.
Fortunately, they had already packed their belongings.
So, after a quick cleanup, they followed Li Che and left the bloodstained courtyard.
The courtyard fell silent, the howling wind and snow swirling in the sky.
The snowflakes fluttered and fell.
They landed on the twisted and cracked girl mask, lying in the snow, its loneliness echoing.
