Chapter 74: A Pure World, Setting off Fireworks with Xi Xi
Chapter 74: A Pure World, Setting off Fireworks with Xi Xi
Thunder City.
Outside the city, a torrential downpour poured as if the heavens were cleansing the world of its evils. The rain battered the ground, turning it into a muddy mess.
In the Idle Pavilion, a lone figure sat cross-legged, clad in black, their face hidden behind a cat-faced mask. Hunched over, they carved a wooden sculpture with a knife. The rain droplets merged into shockwaves, creating a whirlwind that blew into the pavilion, stirring up wood shavings from the knife's path.
Moments later, the sculpture took shape. It wasn't a Buddha or a god, but a graceful and pure-looking woman. She wore a silk robe, holding a python-headed fine sword, with a hint of heroism in her gaze as she glanced back.
Beneath the cat-faced mask, the person's eyes held a complex expression as they caressed the slightly rough carving.
Forty years had passed, and youth had faded like flowers...
One could no longer be young forever.
The reason he had descended from the mountain without even mastering most of his Divine Nature was not solely for the Spirit Child, but more so to see the beauty of his past.
Unfortunately, time was a sharp, long sword that even cultivators struggled to resist.
Without forging a Divine Foundation, it was difficult to maintain Vital Energy, and the body would gradually weaken and wither, leaving no trace of youthful beauty.
Outside the pavilion, the raging wind howled, carrying the relentless downpour.
In the four directions around the Idle Pavilion, formidable Divine Natures distorted the sky, preventing the rain from reaching it.
Four masked figures stood in the rain, surrounding the pavilion from a distance, forming a square formation to enclose the masked old man within.
"Four Divine Foundations acting together, such a spectacle... It seems something significant is about to happen in the city."
The old man spoke softly.
He looked at the four figures, their Divine Foundations as vast as the sun.
"Wrathful True Monarch, Heart-Shocking Iron Fist, Wrathful Maitreya, and... Suspended Thought Flowing Sword..."
"The Xu Family truly lives up to its reputation. With others targeting your family's foundation, if you don't intervene or stand guard, I can understand. But why come here to flirt with an old man like me?"
Li Qingshan laughed.
His eyes revealed unconcealed disgust and murderous intent.
...
...
Xu Family Divine Cult Academy.
In the spacious courtyard, the ground was littered with countless sword scars on the blue stone.
Amidst the dark clouds, lightning snakes slithered.
"Huff... Huff..."
Aunt Mu, drenched from head to toe, had a deathly pale face. Her grip on the python-headed longsword trembled incessantly.
Surrounding her were Yang Family cultivators wearing child masks, their eyes coldly fixed on her.
"In the end... I've grown old..."
Aunt Mu's heart sank slightly.
Her Vital Energy could no longer support such intense combat.
"Xu Mu, give up. We only want to take the Spirit Child. You don't need to risk your life. After all, you're a Temperament Cultivation peak cultivator. Cherish your life."
The burly man holding a heavy hammer spoke in a deep voice.
His heavy voice, infused with Vital Energy and merged with his Divine Nature, aimed to influence Aunt Mu's emotions, instilling deep fear within her. Once fear surfaced, his Heart-Shocking Iron Fist Divine Nature would rapidly erode Aunt Mu's spirit.
This battle was utterly devoid of suspense.
In fact, there had never been any suspense to begin with.
"Yang Kaihe, don't think I can't recognize you just because you're wearing a mask..."
"The entire Yang Family wears Spirit Baby Masks. Have you all joined the Spirit Infancy Sect? How ridiculous! The esteemed Thunderbolt City Family acts like a ghost! Pfft!"
Aunt Mu lifted the python-headed fine sword, its icy radiance emitting a bone-chilling aura.
"If you want to take away my Xu Mu's children, step over my old bones first!"
Divinity... Suddenly, it blazed like fire!
Amidst the pouring rain, it burned silently.
Aunt Mu chose to fight with all her might, showing no retreat. At her age, what was there left to cherish?
"Refuse sweet wine, drink bitter wine."
A faint voice emanated from the burly man wearing a shocked girl mask.
The next moment, the heavy hammer in his hand was swung with tremendous force.
Vital Energy erupted, causing the muscles on his burly body to twist like coiling serpents, shaking off the rain droplets and turning them into tiny rain particles.
Just as Yang Kaihe was about to deliver the final blow to end the life of this Vital Energy-depleted old woman, his ears twitched.
Under the mask, Yang Kaihe's eyes narrowed abruptly.
A familiar explosive sound tore through the rain, like a bird whose tail feathers had been plucked, emitting a piercing shriek.
"Explosion?!"
A black wooden crow, engulfed in burning starlight, retracted its wings, resembling a howling dark arrow as it screamed towards them.
The heavy hammer was raised, smashing towards the incredibly fast black crow.
Boom—! An explosion erupted!
Instantly, a torrent of flames burst forth, and the powerful shockwave dispersed the countless raindrops falling from the dark clouds.
Just as Aunt Mu was about to risk her life, she froze.
Watching Yang Kaihe being engulfed by the flames and retreating continuously, her eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
She abruptly turned her head, and the violent movement caused the water to splash like exploding lotuses.
What entered her field of vision was a figure even more massive and burly than Yang Kaihe!
Like a towering mountain, this burly figure had a little girl on his shoulder, her eyes fixed on the explosion, glowing brightly.
"Li Nuanxi?"
Aunt Mu's eyebrows furrowed.
Then he looked towards the burly figure's face, but he only saw a cute, calf-like cow mask... Damn! Ox Demon!
Aunt Mu's face changed drastically, and she cried out in shock.
The hand holding the sword seemed to have its strength drained in an instant.
Ox Demon...
Ferociously evil, the Ox Demon that specializes in twisting children's heads!
"Xi Xi, run!"
Aunt Mu felt a sense of despair.
Wolves in front, tigers behind...
How could these children be so unlucky!
As a Spirit Child, were they destined to become stepping stones on others' cultivation paths?
"Grandma! Niu Niu is here to save you!"
However, Aunt Mu soon heard Xi Xi's excited shouts as she waved her little hands. The little girl's face was flushed, and she clutched the oiled paper umbrella, her eyes sparkling. She didn't seem to be coerced by the Ox Demon at all.
It seemed... not quite as she had imagined.
Aunt Mu was stunned.
The Ox Demon glanced at her indifferently.
"Step back."
His voice was cold, carrying a powerful inner force amidst its roughness.
Aunt Mu instinctively held the python-headed fine sword and retreated several steps.
She then saw the strange mechanism in the Ox Demon's hand, with several metal tubes aimed at Yang Kahe, who had been blown away by the explosion.
The metal tubes started spinning at high speed, and in a single breath, it seemed as if they had spun and stopped hundreds of times.
"Da da da da da da..."
Brilliant flames erupted from the mouths of the metal tubes, like a fire lotus blooming in the heavy rain!
Wooden black crows shot out from the metal tubes, trailing fiery tails like meteors, and rapidly screamed towards Yang Kahe.
Yang Kahe was instantly engulfed!
The bursting fireworks exploded one after another, and even the heavy rain couldn't extinguish them.
The Ox Demon raised his chin, his pupils reflecting the firelight, and his icy killing intent raged.
Anyone who dared to harm his precious daughter...
Would die!
Li Che's wish was simple; he only wanted to give his daughter a clean and pure world.
Therefore, all the filth would be swept away by him!
Namo Gatling Wooden Ducks...
Roar!
The rapidly spinning metal tubes gradually slowed to a stop, and blue smoke drifted from their mouths.
Aunt Mu, drenched in sweat, turned her head towards Yang Kahe's direction...
But she saw that Yang Kahe, who had reached the Martial Dao Reach Meridians and had a Cultivating Nature River, was now in a pitiful state. His clothes were torn, his body was riddled with blast wounds, and his mask had shattered, revealing a terrified face.
"Ox Demon... Ox Demon!"
Blood dripped from Yang Kahe's mouth.
He recalled the scene of being bombarded by the Ox Demon in the lane.
At that time, there were a few others who shared the burden with him.
But today...
Only he was being bombarded!
If it weren't for his breakthrough in martial arts, he might have been killed by this first round of bombardment!
Escape!
Yang Kahe stomped his feet heavily, trying to create an opportunity to escape.
However, the Ox Demon lifted the strange mechanism again and activated it.
Countless exploding black crows rushed towards him, dragging fiery tails!
"No! No—!"
Boom boom boom boom!
Yang Kahe's figure, which had just escaped a few steps, was instantly engulfed by firelight once more.
When the next round of explosions ended, the firelight dissipated.
Yang Kahe had become a charred corpse, emitting a strong heat, completely devoid of life.
"Sixty rounds are not enough, then let's do another sixty..."
"I prepared six thousand rounds, and you're still not dead?"
Li Che said indifferently.
However, beneath the mask, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. The power of Namo Gatling Wooden Ducks did indeed need further improvement.
If it took so long to defeat a single Yang Kahe, then against a Divine Foundation Cultivator, even after six thousand rounds of sweeping fire... it might not be enough to kill.
The heavy rain continued to fall, but the entire Divine Cult Academy was silent.
The other Yang Family cultivators stood there, stunned like wooden chickens.
They never imagined that their Yang Family's most promising disciple, who was closest to the Divine Foundation, would be killed like this.
The Ox Demon didn't even need to personally take action.
The next moment, these Yang Family experts' hair stood on end.
They frantically fled towards the Xu Family Divine Cult Academy...
Li Che glanced at them and didn't hold back. He fired a round of shots, and wooden ducks screamed out, trailing fiery tails.
Accompanying the bursting red serpent fireworks that filled the courtyard!
These Yang Family experts followed in Yang Kahe's footsteps, dying in the art of explosions.
Xi Xi sat on the Ox Demon's shoulder...
Ecstatic.
This fireworks display was so dazzling!
In her young heart, it left a deep impression!
"Fireworks... I want to play with fireworks too!"
Fireworks and Xi Xi... even better!
They annihilated all the Yang Family experts.
The Ox Demon skillfully searched the bodies and found only a few dozen leaves on them, except for a Heavens and Earth Jade on Yang Kahe's body.
After searching the bodies, he walked out of the Divine Cult Academy, where everyone was still stunned.
With Xi Xi.
Aunt Mu finally snapped out of her daze, leaning on her python-headed walking stick and chasing after them with her thin body soaked by the rain...
"Ox... Sir, where are you taking Xi Xi?"
In the rain.
The Ox Demon, as tall as a mountain, stopped and adjusted the crooked oiled paper umbrella in Xi Xi's hand, who was on his shoulder.
Then he continued walking.
A dull voice, carrying a rampant killing intent, overwhelmed the raging storm and reached Aunt Mu's ears.
"To the Yang Family."
"To set off fireworks."
