Chapter 45: Wrathful Eye Bodhimanda, Enraged at the Injustice of the World
Chapter 45: Wrathful Eye Bodhimanda, Enraged at the Injustice of the World
A massive head rose into the sky, its black hair drenched in rainwater, rolling swiftly and splashing droplets.
Those wrathful eyes, never able to close!
Guo Zhan, a Blood Exchange Perfection Warrior, was nearing the end of his life due to his advanced age, and his life energy was gradually weakening. He had little hope of reaching the Pulse Realm in this lifetime, but he never imagined he would die in such a manner!
Initially, when the Ox Demon and he were exchanging arrows, he thought it would be a battle between a mechanical crossbow and a divine archer, and they would fight until the last arrow was spent.
But never did he expect that the Ox Demon would completely disregard martial ethics.
The sudden explosion of a terrifying hidden weapon, even though he had reached Blood Exchange Perfection, was still half-dead from the close-range bombardment. The scorching flames emitted high temperatures, burning his entire body, drying up the moisture on his skin in an instant, and directly scorching it.
Coupled with the shockwave from the explosion, which seeped into his body, impacting his unrefined five viscera, he suffered a severe injury.
And it wasn't over yet; there was also the poisoned needle...
The combination of hidden weapons and poison was too strong, and Guo Zhan could only feel bitter resentment in his heart as he fell into the Ox Demon's trap. In the end, he was beheaded by a fine silk blade.
The cold, lifeless body fell to the ground, and the severed neck spurted blood, but even the blood eventually stopped flowing.
Guo Zhan was dead beyond doubt.
Although Blood Exchange Warriors had powerful life energy, they were still mortals, and beheading meant certain death.
Li Che's tall figure was surrounded by dancing silver threads, and he glanced at the fallen Blood Exchange Warrior with a complex expression.
His heart was filled with a myriad of emotions, and he became increasingly vigilant.
In this chaotic and disorderly world, even the strongest warriors could meet their demise...
When fighting against others, one must think more carefully and guard against all sorts of dark and despicable tactics.
Li Che deeply realized...
Only by being more cunning and ruthless than your opponent can you achieve victory.
The rain in the sky seemed to have returned to its icy state, freezing into frost and snow.
Perhaps the source of the city's scorching heat had finally released all its light and warmth.
The rainwater gathered and froze into snowflakes, gently falling.
It was as if the intense bloodthirsty aura of the Blood Exchange Perfection Warrior had been perfectly preserved, almost making one feel nauseous.
The corner of Xu Family Compound fell into a deathly silence, with only the rustling sound of snow falling to the ground.
Three Blood Exchange experts from the Spirit Infancy Sect stopped in their tracks, their eyes widening behind their masks as they stared at the deceased Guo Zhan.
In just a moment, in the blink of an eye... Guo Zhan was dead?
Too fast!
Too cruel!
A chill rose in the hearts of the three, never expecting... that the renowned hero Ox Demon in Thunderstrike City would be such a vicious criminal! Hidden weapons, poison, ambushes... all sorts of despicable means, one after another!
What kind of hero is this?!
"Guo Zhan is dead, and now it's difficult to explain to Si Mu Bai!"
The three experts from the Spirit Infancy Sect felt their temples throbbing, their brains almost exploding.
Zhao Chuanxiong, used as bait, was devoured, and Guo Zhan, the divine archer, was beheaded by the Ox Demon right before their eyes...
Both of them had Divinity Cultivators backing them.
"Attack!"
"We must kill the Ox Demon!"
The three experts from the Spirit Infancy Sect roared, "Block his hidden weapons, get close to him, and be cautious of his poison and that strange firebird!"
Guo Zhan's death was not due to a lack of strength but because the Ox Demon had schemed against him.
In a head-on confrontation, how could the Ox Demon, even with Blood Exchange, rival three Blood Exchange Warriors?
Boom!!!
The water on the ground, frozen due to the drop in temperature, exploded into ice.
Three Blood Exchange Warriors from the Spirit Infancy Sect charged forward in anger, one holding a spear, one a chain, and one a sword, waving and swinging their weapons, their blades wailing.
Their speed increased, blocking all the Ox Demon's escape routes, leaving him no chance to hide!
But at this moment, Li Che, who had killed Guo Zhan, felt the Dao Fruit in his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra, pounding like a heart after intense exercise, beating incessantly!
Each beat was like the sound of gongs and drums exploding in his eardrums! Before his eyes, the vast land shook, and ancient trees rose, their branches and leaves trembling, as if producing a wave-like sound.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (Level 1, 98%)]
Li Che was stunned.
"Indeed, it seems I'm still lacking... All this talk about breakthrough in battle is just fiction in novels."
He sighed inwardly.
After killing Zhao Chuanxiong and now a Blood Exchange Perfection Warrior, he still couldn't unlock the Dragon Elephant Vajra.
The ripening of the Dao Fruit, pushing it to level 2...
It was truly a pity, but not a big issue.
Li Che had already prepared for failure.
With a thought, another Dao Fruit, the Pure Mind, began to tremble.
It was as if an invisible palm had tightly clenched it.
In an instant, a surge of intense Divinity was released and swallowed by the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.
And thus, the final advancement was completed...
Boom—!
Wearing a conical hat, Li Che stood silently beside Guo Zhan's corpse, feeling the thunderous roar in his ears.
It was as if something terrifying within his fleshly body had broken free from its constraints, shattering the shackles!
A scorching heat suddenly rose from the surface of his skin.
Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv2,, 0%)
Crack, crack, crack...
The spontaneous activation caused his physical restraints to burst apart, and in that instant, a scorching, boiling power erupted from the nine large tendons along his spine, from the tiger-like bones, and from the angry dragon-like spine... bursting forth!
His original height of one meter and ninety centimeters suddenly increased...
His muscles twisted like intertwined dragons, and the elastic suit reached its limit, bursting apart, revealing the perfect muscles beneath, each movement causing countless muscle fibers to contract, resembling an exquisitely precise machine!
Two meters, two meters and one...
Two meters and two!
The second transformation of Vajra allowed Li Che's body to grow taller once more, and infinite power spread from his bones, as if pushing all his previous processes of body refinement, tendon opening, and bone tempering to perfection.
The resulting perfect body nurtured terrifying Dragon Elephant power within every muscle.
Li Che felt an overwhelming rage surge from the depths of his mind, yet despite the anger, his thoughts remained clear, plunging him into a state of extreme calm.
Beneath the cute bull mask, his eyes were filled with fury.
Was this the state of Divinity?
"This state... let's call it 'Wrathful Eye Vajra'."
Li Che transformed from Vajra to Wrathful Eye Vajra...
A transcendent metamorphosis on the horizontal cultivation level!
Li Che felt like cursing the heavens and earth for their cruelty, and the snowstorm howled with biting cold.
Three Blood Exchange warriors from the Spirit Infant Sect surrounded the Ox Demon, intending to join forces to kill him. When they saw the Ox Demon standing motionless beside Guo Zhan's corpse, they rejoiced, thinking he had exhausted his strength in killing Guo Zhan.
But as they watched the Ox Demon's body swell, his stomach, chest, and shoulders bulging, his muscles twisting like intertwined dragons, and his tendons quivering like angry pythons...
Terror flashed in the eyes of the three warriors.
The oppressive life energy pressure hit them like a surging river wave, scorching hot, and a terrifying force akin to Wrathful Divinity, shook their consciousness.
The three Blood Exchange warriors were terrified.
At that moment, the Ox Demon finally raised his head, his cute bull mask revealing a pair of wrathful eyes, shining like lamps in the night, brilliant as the sun.
Like a demon, like a god...
...
...
Zhao Xuan bit her lip, braving the snowstorm to approach stealthily.
The Ox Demon... was her hero, and only tonight did she realize it was a trap set by the Spirit Infant Sect.
When the Ox Demon clashed with the Spirit Infant Sect's experts, the venting life energy made it impossible for her to get close.
Now, the life energy had finally subsided.
Her admiration for the hero made Zhao Xuan's heart ache.
The siege by four Blood Exchange warriors...
The heroic Ox Demon's fate...
She could only come to collect his remains...
Suddenly, the swirling snowstorm parted, revealing a secluded corner of Xu Family Compound, where countless bricks and stones lay shattered, and spiderweb-like cracks covered the ground.
Zhao Xuan stood in the snow, her long legs frozen, staring at the devastated battlefield before her.
There was no sign of the Ox Demon's corpse.
Only Guo Zhan's severed body, and...
Three blood-stained flowers scattered on the snowy ground, each petal adorned with scattered flesh.
