Chapter 76: Xi Xi Sets Off Fireworks to Protect Her Father, You Little Girl, You're Going to Make Yo
Chapter 76: Xi Xi Sets Off Fireworks to Protect Her Father, You Little Girl, You're Going to Make Your Father Die of Filial Piety
Amidst the pouring rain, the fear in the air was palpable, enveloping everything in its path.
Zhang Xiangyang, wearing a child's mask, couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.
The Ox Demon...
Had killed Zhou Ruoguan! Two of the three Divine Catchers of Thunderbolt City were now dead at the hands of the Ox Demon!
Now, only Zhang Xiangyang remained.
Why not kill him too and make it a clean sweep?
What should he do? How could he possibly escape?
Zhang Xiangyang's exposed skin was covered in goosebumps as the cold wind blew from all directions.
He dared not stop running or look back.
The Ox Demon had killed Zhou Ruoguan quickly...
If it really wanted to catch up, it could, and it would beat him to death!
"Mystic Pulse Warrior..."
"Exaggerated, truly exaggerated!"
Zhang Xiangyang's face beneath the mask contorted. What kind of monster was this Ox Demon?
When the Ox Demon killed Lei Chunlan, he used the Divine Secret Technique 'Fear Deterrence Retroglory' to look back in time and saw the Ox Demon...
Back then, the Ox Demon had just barely reached the Blood Exchange Realm.
How long had it been since then?
Two years?
In just two years, the Ox Demon had become a Mystic Pulse Warrior!
"What a monster..."
Zhang Xiangyang didn't dare turn back, and he fled towards the City Governor's Mansion.
Only the presence of a Divine Foundation Cultivator in the City Governor's Mansion could give him a sense of security.
...
...
Li Che found the Heavens and Earth Jade on Zhou Ruoguan's headless corpse and stored it in the Heaven Earth Space.
He then extracted the Divine Aura 'Chaos Bliss Confusion' from Zhou Ruoguan's body and condensed it into Divine Essence Chess Pieces.
The color of these chess pieces was also black.
It seemed that only the Pure Heart Divine Aura could create white chess pieces, while the Crying Wrath, Wrathful Maitreya, Chaos Bliss Confusion, and the Heart Shocking Iron Fist, which he had condensed from Yang Kahe earlier, all formed black chess pieces.
Even the Temple Deity's Divine Aura formed black chess pieces.
This puzzled Li Che. Could it be that only the Pure Heart Divine Aura could create white chess pieces?
Unable to find an answer, Li Che stopped pondering.
Perhaps it was due to his practice of extracting the Temple Deity's Divine Aura that he was now able to extract the Divine Aura of these 'Cultivating Nature River' cultivators much faster.
He could condense a chess piece with almost every breath, and it took only a dozen or so breaths to drain Zhou Ruoguan completely.
He had also drained Yang Kahe's Divine Aura during the process of searching his body.
These Divine Auras could only speed up his cultivation of the Divine Nature Law.
Turning to look at Xi Xi, who was sitting on his shoulder, the Ox Demon asked in a deep voice, "Little girl, are you scared?"
Li Che didn't cover Xi Xi's eyes, letting her witness the bloody scene.
In this cruel world, Li Che knew that it was better for Xi Xi to face the brutality and cruelty early on, so she wouldn't be too naive and easily deceived by others.
Whether it was the young man with the yellow hair or someone with malicious intentions...
At least Xi Xi would understand the cruelty of the world and develop a sense of vigilance.
Spoiling a daughter was one thing, but it wouldn't prevent her from being deceived by a young man with a simple trick.
Seeing blood would give her a sense of bravery and defiance, so she wouldn't be bullied without fighting back.
Xi Xi held onto her oiled paper umbrella, unafraid of the Ox Demon's killing.
Aunt Mu had taught her at the Divine Academy that bad people should be killed!
If you don't kill them, they'll kill you!
So, Xi Xi wasn't afraid.
"Oxie, Xi Xi isn't scared!" Xi Xi shook her head repeatedly.
Her eyes sparkled, and the rain created a hazy mist around the umbrella.
"Oxie is so strong. Oxie, can Xi Xi become your disciple?"
"Xi Xi wants to become strong to protect her parents!"
Li Che, hidden behind the Cuteness Bull Mask, was taken aback and couldn't help but laugh.
Become his disciple? He was her father!
But...
Feeling Xi Xi's sincere filial piety, Li Che smiled and agreed.
"Okay."
"Yay! Aunt Mu said that Xi Xi's father is too kind and honest. He's gentle and easy-going, but with that kind of temperament, it's too easy for him to be beaten to death. Xi Xi doesn't want her father to be beaten to death, so... Xi Xi wants to become strong!"
Xi Xi's eyes lit up at these words, and she happily wiggled her little belly as she sat on Li Che's shoulder.
"Master Oxie, can I play with fireworks?"
Xi Xi asked with innocent eyes.
Li Che was speechless again. This little girl was indeed... not filled with filial piety but was just looking for an excuse to play with explosions.
"Master Oxie, are you listening?"
Xi Xi became anxious as she saw the silent Ox Demon.
"If I learn to set off fireworks, I can protect my father, or else he'll be beaten to death!"
Xi Xi was genuinely worried.
Li Che took a deep breath.
"You're such a filial daughter, my dear."
"You can't carry it."
"Xi Xi is so strong, Teacher Niu Niu!" Xi Xi clenched her tiny fists.
Li Che didn't doubt her strength; as an exceptional spirit child, Xi Xi was naturally born with immense power, and Li Qingshan had openly praised her as a promising cultivation talent.
Seeing her daughter's desire to play with fireworks, Li Che naturally wouldn't refuse.
He handed the Namo Gatling Wooden Ducks directly to Xi Xi.
To everyone's surprise, Xi Xi lifted the massive object, larger than her own body, with great effort, her little face turning red from the strain.
But as she held the Namo Gatling Wooden Ducks, her mouth stretched into a wide grin, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if she had gone mad with joy.
"Hahaha! Daddy won't be beaten to death! I'll protect Daddy with these fireworks!"
"Teacher Niu Niu, let's elbow!"
"Let's set off the fireworks!"
...
...
In the past, Thunder City had four prominent families: the Si Family, the Xu Family, the An Family, and the Yang Family.
The Si Family had fallen into decline and ruin, becoming a mere memory of its former glory.
During the Si Family's downfall, the Yang Family had enjoyed a period of prosperity.
Most of the Si Family's businesses had fallen under the Yang Family's control.
Yang Family Mansion.
The Patriarch's Study.
Yang Kaihai, the patriarch of the Yang Family, sat upright in his chair, writing something. His imposing figure resembled a small mountain, and he held a wolf-hair brush as if it were a delicate embroidery needle.
The martial arts practiced by the Yang Family focused on enhancing the strength and robustness of the body, resulting in every member of the family being as sturdy as a small mountain.
"Have the ordinary clan members been arranged to leave the city?"
Yang Kaihai put down his brush and spoke in a deep voice.
"They have all left Thunder City. Those remaining in the city are clan members with Open Meridian cultivation and above..."
"After the City Lord's Thousand Buddha Feast is held, our Yang Family will enjoy this last wave of benefits before leaving Thunder City. We should let go of this century-old foundation..."
"If the Elder Lord can take this opportunity to break through to the Divine Foundation Initial Stage and step into the Middle Stage, our Yang Family can easily establish a century-old legacy in other cities and even rise to greater heights!"
"The Thousand Buddha Feast is a grand ceremony to worship the Temple Deity. If the deity awakens due to sincere worship, it will bestow blessings and release divine essence, offering a great opportunity. By staying in the city and absorbing the deity's divine essence, we can all achieve significant improvements..."
"Especially for Kahe, who may even have the chance to forge a Divine Foundation. Our Yang Family's Spirit Vein martial arts have a deeper foundation compared to the other families, making it easier to forge a Divine Foundation."
Yang Kaihai stretched lazily, his joints cracking, and his vital energy surging, causing a whirlwind to stir within the study.
"By the way, has there been any news from Kahe? Has he captured the Xu Family's spirit child and brought him to the City Lord's Mansion?"
"There shouldn't be any problems... The Xu Family has already accepted this matter."
Yang Kaihai chuckled.
However, his laughter soon faded, as...
His Yang Family had done the same thing.
Selling a spirit child for benefits...
It was like laughing at someone for taking fifty steps when you've taken a hundred.
Below, a Yang Family expert suddenly laughed, "How could there be any problems with the young master's actions? The young master's cultivation is at the peak of the Cultivating Nature River, and with his Qi Pulse martial arts, Python Sinew Tiger Bone, unless a Divine Foundation cultivator intervenes... there's only Old Lady Xu Mu left in the Xu Family's Divine Academy. This is a sure thing."
As his words fell, low laughter echoed within the room.
Indeed, it was a sure bet.
Suddenly, the laughter ceased.
Everyone sensed something and turned to look outside.
Their pupils contracted sharply.
In the pouring rain, a massive head smashed through the raindrops, creating a continuous mist as it traced a parabolic arc and crashed into the center of the Yang Family courtyard.
The head rolled a few times, revealing a hideous and terrified expression.
It was their Yang Family's eldest son and future Divine Foundation seed...
Yang Kahe!
"Noooooo!"
"My son!!!"
Inside the study, Yang Kaihai's eyes widened in shock, and he let out a shrill scream. His powerful vital energy exploded, and his divine essence surged.
He burst out of the study and rushed into the rain.
However...
Before he could reach Yang Kahe's head, a deafening blast shook the air, and flames soared into the sky!
The Yang Family's gate was blown open, and countless fragments flew in all directions!
The acrid smell of gunpowder filled the air.
Heavy footsteps echoed like the ancient temple bell, reverberating throughout the Yang Family compound.
Two figures, one large and one small, appeared.
"Teacher Niu Niu... How do we set off the fireworks?"
A childish voice rang out.
Soon, a gentle, muffled voice responded...
"Set them all off."
