Chapter 43: Quadrant Rank Fury, Someone Above the Ox Demon!
Chapter 43: Quadrant Rank Fury, Someone Above the Ox Demon!
Boom! Boom!
The heavy footsteps, like the tolling of a bell or the beating of a drum, drew closer and closer.
The thick layer of snow on the ground, mixed with rainwater, created ripples like a shaking quilt, rolling and spreading from a distance, hitting the bluestone steps in front of Xuji Woodcarving Shop, and exploding like a wave of snow.
Wave after wave, as if each step would create such ripples.
The wailing cries echoed continuously, reverberating from one end of the long street to the other.
It was as if the gates of hell had opened, and the wailing ghosts...
Cried out, haunting the night.
In the alleyways.
The old man listened to the approaching footsteps, sensing the intense Divinity mixed within them, and gently patted the child Lyu Chi beside him.
"Go, my foolish child."
"For a Divinity Cultivator to interfere in a battle between warriors... is going too far."
The old man spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Lyu Chi's eyes showed no fear; instead, they seemed to burn like a blazing fire.
"Master, leave it to me!"
"Consider it an early surprise for my not-yet-married little junior sister!"
Lyu Chi grinned and tilted his head, revealing a brilliant smile.
The next moment, he took out a thumb-sized wooden carving from his pocket. Although the carving was small, it vividly depicted a child holding a red-tasseled spear, with a round bun hairstyle, wearing a red vest, and surrounded by red silk.
It was obviously the work of a master.
With glaring eyes, a furious gaze, and a domineering aura...
Lyu Chi pressed the thumb-sized wooden carving against his forehead, and instantly, particles of light began to float and scatter from within the carving, revealing the Divinity contained within.
All of it flowed into Lyu Chi's forehead, and the carving turned into dust and sand, slipping through Lyu Chi's chubby palms.
Lyu Chi's forehead glowed red, his eyes burning with anger.
"My not-yet-married little junior sister will die a terrible death!"
"Ah! I'm so furious!"
"Prince, assist me!"
Lyu Chi shouted, his anger surging, his eyes blazing with fire, and his aura rising steadily.
The old man smiled, flicked his finger, and a red silk scarf flew out, wrapping around Lyu Chi.
Lyu Chi's face was completely obscured by the overflowing anger and Divinity, like a fire.
The swirling snowstorm enveloped him, and the red silk scarf danced around him, as if he was standing on a tornado, creating a terrifying scene. The old man stroked his beard and smiled, nodding slightly.
Fury Divinity.
The Prince of Wrath!
...
...
The winter rain fell with a pattering sound, mixed with snowflakes, from high above.
It landed on the oiled paper umbrella, bouncing like beads.
Under the umbrella, a white-clad figure stood out against the snow, with a handsome face exuding a strange beauty. His eyes were filled with gloom, and a teardrop-shaped mole at the corner of his eye seemed to express a thousand sorrows.
The hair on his forehead fluttered slightly, revealing Si Mu Bai's tearful face.
Holding the umbrella in one hand, he walked, and with each step, the snow on the ground rolled forward, clearing a clean path for him to walk on.
He strolled leisurely towards Xuji Woodcarving Shop, unconcerned about the situation inside, no matter how dire or urgent it might be.
Whether it was Zhao Chuanxiong being beheaded by the Ox Demon, or the four Blood Exchange Warriors fighting against the Ox Demon in a thrilling chase...
None of it disturbed his rhythmic steps, showing no sign of panic.
"Zhao Chuanxiong is dead."
Si Mu Bai pursed his lips, and the vivid teardrop mole seemed to exude an even deeper sorrow. With tears in his eyes, his voice carried a hint of grief.
"What a pity... he's dead, and I'm afraid that Zhao Xuanhai will come to trouble me..."
"Divine Catcher, if you kill me, I'm so scared, so sad... woe is me..."
Si Mu Bai was enveloped in sadness, cultivating his Divinity, the seven emotions Divinity... By harnessing emotions, one could evoke Divinity, and by cultivating and harmonizing emotions before a battle, one's Divinity would become more active, and their combat power would increase.
The cultivation of emotions was a necessary practice for every Divinity Cultivator.
Beneath the tearful sorrow, his eyes were clear.
Si Mu Bai gazed at Xuji Woodcarving Shop in the snowy night, his sadness mixed with gloom. The Ox Demon... had appeared.
During the day, Zhao Chuanxiong had boldly taken away Chen Dabao, and then caused a disturbance outside Xuji Woodcarving Shop. As expected, he had attracted the Ox Demon's attack.
But even Si Mu Bai had underestimated the Ox Demon's rapid improvement in strength.
The trace of Crying Wrath Divinity he had left on Zhao Chuanxiong's body sent back information, revealing that the Ox Demon had already undergone Blood Exchange!
"So fast... this Ox Demon... who is he?"
Si Mu Bai was truly curious.
But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't find a match for the Ox Demon in his mind.
Whether it was a Martial Artist or a Divine Cultivator, none had found a compatible partner.
"This city... doesn't need a hero."
"Tonight."
"Let me send this lone hero off on his final journey."
Si Mu Bai held a paper umbrella, and the raindrops sliding off its edge seemed like tears of sorrow falling from his eyes.
But the thought of killing the Ox Demon hero made Si Mu Bai inexplicably excited. He couldn't control his sadness and felt like smiling, his lips twitching.
He seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time, wailing like a ghost.
Suddenly, Si Mu Bai raised his foot and slammed it down.
A dull thud echoed! The accumulated snow rose like a tidal wave and smashed into the distance.
His stiff neck struggled to lift, and his face, filled with sorrow, froze like a wooden sculpture.
The snow, transformed into a tidal wave, melted as it rushed forward, turning into a river tide. It was as if there was a blazing fire ahead, melting the snow and ice on the entire street!
On the wave, a child with fiery eyes and a blurred face appeared. Red silk danced around him like a dragon, and his black hair fluttered wildly like water grass.
His chubby fingers, well-nourished and plump, were clenched into fists, and he glared at Si Mu Bai with anger.
The intense divine energy surrounding him blossomed like a crimson lotus.
Si Mu Bai's face, on the verge of tears, was filled with such profound sorrow that it couldn't be dispelled. Staring at the child resembling a crimson lotus, his hair stood on end.
"Such divine energy... Fury Divinity, Quadrant Rank... Prince of Wrath?"
The entire street...
Under the high temperature, the rain and snow melted, and the falling rain from the sky turned into a torrential downpour. It pounded on the umbrella, soaking Si Mu Bai, who had been elegant under it, and the rainwater dripped from his forehead and hair.
Si Mu Bai's face turned an abnormal shade of crimson.
He coughed violently, and the sadness in his eyes seemed to dissipate, transforming into fear.
"Quadrant Rank?"
"Impossible! How can Thunderbolt City have a Divine Foundation of the Quadrant Rank?!"
"How is that possible?!"
"This Ox Demon... has someone backing him!"
...
...
Vital energy roared like a furious dragon, and the rain that fell on his majestic body evaporated instantly.
Li Che, wearing a cute bull mask, felt the raindrops on his hood. He was slightly puzzled; how did the snow turn into rain? However, he didn't have time to ponder this change in the weather as four fiery auras surrounded him, forcing him into a corner.
He stomped his foot, and the ground cracked, spreading like a spider web.
Li Che stood tall like a demon, his eyes beneath the mask calm and indifferent.
Here, in a secluded area of Xuji Woodcarving Shop, far from his family's courtyard, he had created an illusion for these four Blood Exchange Warriors, making them believe they had no escape and were cornered.
Li Che didn't retreat any further.
Three Blood Exchange experts from the Spirit Infancy Sect formed a battle formation, blocking him from three sides.
They wore child masks, some crying, some laughing, and some angry...
Farther away, standing like a sharp spear on a rooftop, was Si Mu Bai's subordinate, Guo Zhan, a Blood Exchange Warrior. He nocked an arrow, his gaze cold and indifferent, as rainwater flowed down his chin, gathering into a thin line.
Even in the heavy downpour, his arrow remained unwavering.
"Run... Ox Demon, keep running..."
"You've taken the bait, no, the bull bait... and you still want to escape? Where's the catch?"
The three Blood Exchange experts from the Spirit Infancy Sect stared at Li Che with cruel intent through their child masks.
"There's no escape. Surrender, and let us have a good look..."
"What kind of heroic face hides beneath that bull mask of yours?"
One of the Blood Exchange Warriors, wearing a crying girl mask, said with a cold laugh.
Li Che, wearing a hood, had his stretchable suit completely soaked by the rain, perfectly outlining his majestic and muscular physique.
He lowered his head.
A dead end? No way out?
Indeed, the current situation... had pushed him into a corner.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (Lv. 1, 90%)]
A prompt appeared before his eyes.
Just a little more...
But it was almost there.
Li Che suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with boiling battle intent and unrestrained killing intent, no longer holding back!
At this moment, the anxiety and apprehension that had been suppressed in his heart after crossing into this world, the anger and killing intent from witnessing the Spirit Infancy Sect's rampant rampage, all of it needed no more restraint!
It was time to...
Kill! Every! One! Of! You!
