Chapter 65: Devouring the Wrathful Compassionate Buddha, Is the Ox Demon?
Chapter 65: Devouring the Wrathful Compassionate Buddha, Is the Ox Demon?
The air was thick with a pungent stench of blood, permeating the heavens and earth.
Terrifying force exploded in mid-air, unleashing a torrent of air currents that caused snowflakes to swirl at high speeds, shattering into countless snowflakes!
The massive figure, like a bear, slammed down, crashing onto the bluestone ground that had been cleared of snow.
Blood gushed out, spreading like a pond, seeping and expanding.
Zhao Xuan Hai knelt on one knee, a slender iron spear piercing his chest, shredding the flesh and bones before him, sending fragments of flesh and shattered bones flying.
Xu Family's Eight-Formation Bone-Shattering Spear...
With a single thrust, the spear shattered Zhao Xuan Hai's flesh and bones!
His prized python sinew and tiger bone were brutally torn apart, and the force unleashed by the Ox Demon was even more terrifying than that of a Pulse-connected Warrior like him.
Unstoppable...
Zhao Xuan Hai knew he was doomed.
From the moment he stepped into the alley, the instant the arrow locked onto him, he knew... he was done for.
One wrong step, and there was no return.
Blood continued to drip, and Zhao Xuan Hai raised his hand to grasp the slender iron spear. His mask was already shattered, and blood flowed from his lips, teeth, and nose, while his heavy breathing gushed out.
But the Ox Demon's powerful and domineering blood energy penetrated his body, wreaking havoc on his meridians and stirring up his internal organs...
He couldn't even summon the strength to activate the Wrathful Compassionate Buddha's Divinity.
Divine Foundation Fragment... The Mysterious Elder's Divine Foundation Fragment!
That higher-ranked Divinity completely suppressed him.
Step by step, as if leading him into the depths of death.
Zhao Xuan Hai gritted his teeth, staring intently at the Ox Demon, trying to see through the mask and reveal the face beneath.
"You... who... are you?"
Zhao Xuan Hai's voice was hoarse and heavy, using his last ounce of strength to ask.
However, the Ox Demon was incredibly cold.
"Hell will give you the answer."
Pfft!
The slender iron spear was suddenly pulled out, causing a burst of blood to spray and scatter in all directions.
With a slicing sound, the spear in the Ox Demon's hand swept across, and Zhao Xuan Hai's large, unblinking head was mercilessly chopped off.
Like a ball, it rolled on the ground, still attached to the black hair.
Li Che looked at Zhao Xuan Hai's lifeless body with indifference, his heart unmoved.
Although Zhao Xuan Hai was an official from the court and one of the three Divine Catchers of the prefecture, but... what of it? He was also a high-level expert of the Spirit Infants Sect.
Since it was so, Li Che killed him without hesitation, feeling no burden, and even experiencing a sense of unprecedented joy!
Pulse-connected Warrior!
River of Cultivation!
Zhao Xuan Hai, one of the three Divine Catchers, had been a towering mountain pressing down on Li Che's head since the day he was forcibly drafted. Now...
The mountain had been cut down, and Li Che felt incredibly light, his bones and muscles resonating with joy.
This was all before he had even used his six thousand rounds of Namah Gatling's killer move, the venomous Guanyin Blood Lotus, or the cunning sleeve crossbow. With just his own warrior cultivation and Divinity, he had achieved a righteous and powerful kill.
Happy.
Li Che squatted down, his large hand skillfully searching through Zhao Xuan Hai's corpse.
Unexpectedly, he found a Heaven-Earth Jade in Zhao Xuan Hai's body, the same trinket he had obtained from Si Mu Bai.
Li Che's eyes lit up with surprise, and with a thought, the Heaven-Earth Jade was directly stored in the Pure Heart's Infinite Space.
It was said that one Heaven-Earth Jade couldn't store another, but after Li Che's improvement to the Pure Heart space, there was no such limitation.
Looking at Zhao Xuan Hai's corpse, as if recalling the wonderful taste of the Divine Catcher's Divinity he had absorbed for the first time, Li Che raised his hand, and a jade-colored energy stream flowed from his arm.
He pressed it onto Zhao Xuan Hai's forehead.
His Niwan Inner Vision surged, and in an instant, a vast Divinity erupted from within.
Like a river breaking through a dam, it raged uncontrollably!
Hmm?
Suddenly, Li Che's heart stirred slightly.
Within his chest, the Chess Sage's Dao Fruit trembled, seemingly forming a special connection with the embryonic form of the divine ability and Thousand Analyzing Hand.
Originally, Li Che's absorption of Divinity through the Thousand Analyzing Hand was limited; if it exceeded too much, it would surpass the hand's carrying capacity.
But after the Chess Sage's Dao Fruit intervened...
Zhao Xuan Hai's River of Cultivation Wrathful Compassionate Buddha Divinity was continuously drawn out by Li Che.
When the Thousand Analyzing Hand reached its limit, it would be transformed by the Chess Sage's Dao Fruit into a black Divinity chess piece, landing on the chessboard.
Each chess piece contained the Wrathful Compassionate Buddha Divinity.
Li Che hadn't expected... the Chess Sage to have such an effect! It didn't feel like a proper Dao Fruit.
Li Che's five fingers grabbed into the void.
In an instant, a black chess piece appeared between his fingers.
Countless streams of air blasted out, ruffling the black hair that danced in the wind.
His five fingers clenched tightly, and the black chess piece in his palm... was crushed into pieces!
A surge of heat instantly coursed through his body...
A flash of crimson light seemed to pass through Li Che's eyes.
The divine nature of the Wrathful Compassionate Buddha erupted!
He only needed to think... and he could disperse the chess piece, transforming the divine nature of the Wrathful Compassionate Buddha into his own power!
What a Chess Sage!
This meant that any divine nature cultivator could potentially become his power source!
Li Che's mood soared, and he continued to absorb the divine nature with his Thousand Analyzing Hand, the divine nature of the River of Cultivation... which was the divine nature that Zhao Xuan Hai had cultivated for decades, quite formidable. Li Che quickened his absorption, and in about a quarter of an hour, he had completely drained Zhao Xuan Hai's divine nature.
In total, it formed eighteen black chess pieces.
"The River of Cultivation... only eighteen chess pieces?"
Li Che muttered to himself.
Or perhaps, the divine nature of other 'River of Cultivation' cultivators could form more chess pieces?
"Depending on the divine nature cultivation method, even though they are both 'River of Cultivation', there are differences in the size of the river..."
After reforming the crushed divine nature into chess pieces and concealing them, Li Che adjusted the bamboo hat on his head. The next moment, he clenched his five fingers around Zhao Xuan Hai's corpse and head.
Looking towards the alley entrance, where snow and wind swayed, Li Che's lips curled up.
He took a heavy step forward, and the nine thick tendons on his back roared like a coiled dragon, unleashing a powerful force. As the air currents stirred, Zhao Xuan Hai's bulky body, as large as a bear...
Was thrown out with force.
...
...
The Xu family's carriage was parked quietly at the end of the main street, about thirty zhang away from the alley where Li Che's independent workshop was located.
A distance that a divine nature cultivator of the River of Cultivation could not sense, ensuring Zhao Xuan Hai would not suspect anything.
The snow falling from the sky landed on the carriage's roof with a rustling sound.
Xu He Li and Xu Beihu sat inside the carriage, making and drinking tea.
The boiling water in the charcoal stove gradually came to a boil, and the green tea leaves were added, releasing a warm steam. The roasted tea leaves unfurled in the water, turning the tea into a verdant green color.
The tea was poured into cups, swirling along the walls of the cups.
Inside the carriage, a warm atmosphere filled the air.
Xu Beihu was restless, occasionally lifting the curtain to look outside.
Xu He Li, on the other hand, remained calm, leaning against the soft, goose down-filled backrest, reading a book.
Reading, drinking tea, and waiting for the results of a battle, everything was so enjoyable.
Suddenly, Xu Beihu's breath caught, and he froze in the act of lifting the curtain, staring incredulously at the corpse that had been thrown out from the alley, arcing through the air, and landing on the cobblestones, stirring up a cloud of snow and dust.
"Who?"
Xu He Li asked.
Xu Beihu turned his head stiffly, lowering the curtain, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Zhao Xuan Hai..."
"He's dead, thrown out like garbage... landing on the main street, already attracting the attention of passersby, causing a commotion."
Xu Beihu's voice was hoarse, filled with bitterness.
Zhao Xuan Hai had received the news and went to the alley to capture Li Che, the newly emerged woodcarving master.
However, the woodcarving master was not captured.
Instead, Zhao Xuan Hai had lost his life.
A divine catcher had died!
This matter...
It's serious!
Xu He Li's expression changed slightly, and he abruptly put down his book, drew the sword at his waist, and his figure instantly rushed out of the carriage.
His divine nature spread around his body, leaving no traces on the ground, and in just a few steps, he covered the thirty zhang distance, passing by Zhao Xuan Hai's headless body, its chest pierced.
He landed at the entrance of the alley, where the wind and snow swirled around him.
Xu He Li's five fingers gripped the sword hilt tightly, his eyes fixed on the alley.
Deep within the alley.
A tall figure, dressed in black, wearing a bamboo hat, and covered by a cute bull mask, stood calmly, as if...
He had known Li Che was there, waiting for the battle to unfold.
So, quietly...
He waited.
"Ox Demon... Ox Demon... who are you?"
Xu He Li's composure vanished, his eyes narrowing as he took a step forward.
However, the Ox Demon took a step forward, and instantly, countless white snowflakes exploded, forming a snowstorm, obscuring their vision.
When the snowstorm subsided...
The Ox Demon... had disappeared into thin air!
Even Xu He Li's divine nature couldn't sense the Ox Demon's disappearance!
Gone again?!
Xu He Li's palm gripped the sword hilt, his eyes fixed, and his body leaned forward, breaking the wind.
He frantically rushed towards Li Che's independent workshop courtyard!
Was it him?
Was it really him?!
