Chapter 54: Ox Demon, Ox Demon! A Divine Battle in the Rain
Chapter 54: Ox Demon, Ox Demon! A Divine Battle in the Rain
Thunder rumbled, and lightning snaked across the sky, roaring in fury.
Dark clouds revealed a deep blue lightning web, resembling the intricate muscles of an ultimate warrior's skin.
Heavy rain poured down, shrouding the entire Thunder City in a misty haze.
The incident at the Golden Radiance Pavilion was too sudden, and almost the entire Inner City froze in shock for a moment.
Those who were unaware of the situation, regardless of their faction, held their breath and dared not move.
In the Xu Family Mansion of the Inner City, Xu You, who was sitting under the eaves reading the 'Great Scenic Records', was suddenly startled by the thunder in the sky. Covered in cold sweat, he looked towards the direction of the Golden Radiance Pavilion, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
From a distance, the four enormous divine foundation wheels, as vast as the sun, still radiated an intense brilliance.
Any divine cultivator could sense this, and Xu You, with his modest divine essence cultivation, was no exception. At the age of twenty-four, he had just reached the 'Cultivating Nature Like a Stream' realm.
Although he had stepped into the second realm of Cultivating Nature, he had already lost the chance to advance to the Divine Foundation.
Unlike his talented older brother, Xu Heli, who was considered one of the Flying Thunder Three Young Masters, had already cultivated the Xu Family's 'Suspended Thought Flowing Sword' divine foundation technique to the 'Cultivating Nature Like a River' realm, and was not far from forging his divine foundation.
"A battle of Divine Foundations?"
Xu You felt as if he had been struck by lightning, instantly realizing that something major was about to happen in Thunder City.
He didn't dwell on the specifics.
Quickly, he shifted his gaze to the Divine Academy within the mansion, scanning the spirit children who were meditating. When his eyes landed on the well-behaved Xi Xi, his heart finally at ease, waved at her.
It wasn't just Xu You who noticed.
Inside the Divine Academy, an elderly Xu Family woman slowly approached. She was a senior divine essence cultivator responsible for instructing the spirit children, and she had reached the powerful 'Cultivating Nature Like a River' realm.
"Ah You, lock the gates of the Divine Academy. No one is allowed to enter. After you return, stay with me to guard and protect the children."
The old woman held a phoenix-head cane, her face as wrinkled as tree bark, and her expression was solemn.
Xu You hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"I wonder how Ah Che is doing in the workshop... I hope he stays put and doesn't get curious and go watch the spectacle."
"Even the slightest aftermath of a battle between Divine Foundation cultivators is enough to kill a Bone Tempering warrior, with no chance of revival..."
Xu You shook his head, suppressing the worry in his heart.
"Xi Xi, come over to your Uncle Xu You."
Xu You waved at Xi Xi.
Xi Xi obediently ran over to Xu You.
Behind Xi Xi, a boy with a large head followed closely.
"Chi Zai, come quickly and stay behind me, Uncle Xu You. We'll be safe here!" Xi Xi stretched her neck and waved.
Xu You glanced at the boy with a large head who was following Xi Xi.
This boy, with his Natacha braid and big head, was quite eye-catching.
Xu You couldn't help but take a second look.
"Mu Po Po, whose spirit child is this?" Xu You couldn't help but ask.
Mu Po Po, leaning on her phoenix-head cane, glanced at the boy with the Natacha braid and gave a cold laugh.
"A friend's request..."
...
...
Boom!
A terrifying surge of vital energy, like a coiling dragon, spread through the surroundings.
Li Che, wearing a hood and a cuteness bull mask, his eyes blazing with anger, and his body tightly bound in a stretchable suit, seemed to outline every writhing muscle and twisted muscle with an arc!
With a heavy stomp, the vital energy roared like thunder!
It was like a bomb had suddenly exploded!
The accumulated water on the ground was instantly drained, like a giant stone thrown into a lake, creating a rippling water wall several feet high. The blue stone slabs cracked and indented under the force, revealing deep fissures.
An unprecedentedly terrifying power was unleashed in this moment.
Amidst the raging and turbulent air currents, a figure screamed as it was launched into the air, and the half-transparent water that exploded twisted into a blurry human shape, with divine essence violently undulating and intertwining, revealing a physical form!
Si Mu Bai was soaked, like a drenched chicken, having lost the calm and composure he had when facing Li Che.
As he focused solely on escaping and running towards the city's outskirts...
He never expected that halfway through, such a terrifying surge of vital energy would suddenly erupt!
A Pulse Channeling Realm warrior was lying in wait for him!
From which family?
Wait... How could a Vessel Warrior detect the traces of his escape, which was driven by a secret divine technique?
This secret technique was passed down by his divine foundation great-grandfather, and under the right circumstances, no divine foundation cultivator could trace his movements during his escape!
Splash...
Si Mu Bai stumbled and fell in the accumulated water on the long street, half-kneeling on the ground. He panted heavily, and the rain distortedly streaked across his face.
He stared intently at the majestic figure.
The black, trembling thick muscles, like lava, and the crimson vital energy!
The pure and powerful Peerless Refinement aura that rushed towards him!
"Ox Demon!!!"
Si Mu Bai stared at the figure with a powerful aura, like a fire burning in the pouring rain, steaming up a hazy heat. The murderous intent in his eyes was unrestrained and rampant.
But in his eyes, there was also a look of sadness, and countless tears rolled down his cheeks.
Si Mu Bai never expected...
The one blocking his path would be the Ox Demon!
A murderous villain who he thought he could easily eliminate, daring to block him, a 'Cultivating Nature Like a River' divine essence cultivator?
Although he sensed that the Ox Demon's aura had reached the peak of a Vessel Warrior's strength, the Pulse Channeling Realm.
However, a Cultivating Nature cultivator, upon reaching the Lantern or River realms, could easily suppress a Pulse Channeling Realm warrior.
The Ox Demon's aura was merely at the initial stages of the Pulse Channeling Realm.
Even with his divine essence diminished, Si Mu Bai still possessed the strength of a Cultivating Nature Like a Stream cultivator!
"Wuuu... Ox Demon... How dare you?"
Si Mu Bai's tears rolled down his face, mixing with the rain and dripping into the water.
"Rainy days and sadness go hand in hand..."
"You can't tell if it's the rain from the heavens or my tears!"
Si Mu Bai couldn't afford to delay any longer. The Ox Demon, unaware of the danger, made his move...
He had long wanted to kill the Ox Demon!
As Si Mu Bai released his divinity, countless raindrops falling from the sky seemed to freeze in mid-air.
Si Mu Bai sobbed, his fingers spread wide, aiming directly at Li Che's head.
From a distance of several dozen meters, countless divine essences were manipulated, the Crying Wrathful Ghost divine essence, carrying a maddening sadness and heart-wrenching emotions, violently assaulted Li Che!
It was as if countless invisible sharp needles were piercing his mind from across the distance, suddenly piercing into his thoughts.
Li Che's nose twitched, his head throbbing with pain, and his face seemed on the verge of tears, as if he was about to cry in sorrow. This was the first time he faced a divine cultivator's unrestrained assault and his own spirit.
The peak of physical refinement could not temper the spirit, so... Warriors were inherently at a disadvantage when facing divine cultivators!
However...
Li Che remained calm, not panicking and losing control.
His arm... suddenly felt scorching hot!
A jade-colored mist slowly enveloped it, swirling and floating gently.
In an instant, it was like a heavy rain meeting sweet dew...
The mental pain in Li Che's mind vanished, as if swallowed whole, and all of it was transferred into his arm...
The embryonic divine ability, Celestial Art · Thousand Analyzing Hands!
His entire hand seemed to become foreign to him at that moment, filled with a terrifying divine essence that was almost uncontrollable.
The fury divinity that originally resided within was instantly suppressed...
But because he had absorbed too much divine essence!
To refine and transform it all at once seemed challenging, and his arm's tendons, bones, and flesh felt like they were being torn apart... Even his entire hand seemed to have its own will, quite bizarre.
However... it relieved Li Che's mental agony!
It was enough!
Li Che's eyes narrowed, and his body pounced forward, slightly bending down, resembling a colorful white tiger baring its fangs.
With a heavy stomp, the bluestone slab trembled, and boiling water erupted around his thick sole, swirling like snakes and climbing up his massive foot.
Using the counterforce of the Wrathful Vajra form, Li Che shattered countless raindrops that exploded like bullets.
As his body fell back to the ground, he had already closed the distance by several dozen meters, appearing before Si Mu Bai, who was still releasing divine essence with his fingers spread wide.
On Li Che's majestic body, countless raindrops had gathered to form "little ghosts," as if they had crawled out of hell and merged with the rain, wailing and crying, clinging to Li Che's arms, legs, shoulders, and head...
Crying and gnawing at him.
Li Che's cuteness bull mask remained expressionless.
His palm, like a fan, clenched his fingers into hooks...
Transcendent realm martial art!
White Tiger Chaos Wind Fist!
His entire body resonated with the restraint, and vital energy erupted from his pores. Countless little ghosts clinging to Li Che instantly exploded into water mist!
And the water mist... followed Li Che's punch, swirling in the chaotic wind and intertwining to form a colorful white tiger!
Si Mu Bai was horrified!
He never expected that the Ox Demon, a mere warrior, not only resisted his divine essence's interference but also unleashed a Transcendent realm martial art!
What kind of monster was this?
His growth... was too fast!
Not long ago, he had just undergone Bone Tempering, and now... he had already reached Pulse Connection!
And he had mastered a Transcendent realm martial art!
With the guidance of a nameless master, could a small city like Flying Thunder produce a Pulse Connection warrior capable of a Transcendent realm martial art?!
Without exceptional martial talent and decades of arduous cultivation, it was impossible to cultivate such a technique!
Who was this Ox Demon?!
However, at this critical moment, Si Mu Bai didn't have time to ponder. Countless divine essences piled up on his arm, and every raindrop that fell turned into wailing little ghosts, piling on top of his arm.
It was as if they had formed armor!
But...
The white tiger's fist slammed down, crashing into Si Mu Bai's arm.
Countless little ghosts exploded, and with Si Mu Bai's arm shattering into a bloody mess, a dense blood mist formed!
Si Mu Bai's arm exploded, and the terrifying residual force sent him flying like a rubber ball, but he hadn't yet fallen to the ground.
The blood mist parted, and a cute bull mask followed, shaking its sleeves.
Within the sleeves were wooden arrows imbued with the divine essence he had just absorbed, Guanyin Lotuses poisoned with toxins, and fine silver wires pulled taut at high speed...
In Si Mu Bai's horrified gaze...
They came crashing down from above!
Si Mu Bai had never experienced such vicious tactics, and his mind hadn't even had time to process...
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
His body was still in mid-air... already pierced by arrows, turning purple from the toxins.
Before he hit the ground, he was sliced into eight pieces by the incredibly thin spider silk threads...
Splashing into the water like fish food thrown into a pond, devoured by hungry fish.
He fell to the ground in pieces, staining the rainwater red.
Bang!
Li Che landed in an instant, feeling the black cloth-wrapped object on his back, an upgraded version of the Wooden Raven that he hadn't even used to kill Si Mu Bai.
With a sharp gaze, he scanned the scattered flesh on the ground, maintaining his habit of checking the bodies.
But in the bloody water, he only found a faintly glowing jade pendant with a dense divine essence. Without hesitation, he reached into the murky water and pocketed it.
He pressed down his hood and, amidst the crackling thunder, darted into the rain.
