Chapter 76: Xixi's Fireworks and Her Father's Protection
Chapter 76: Xixi's Fireworks and Her Father's Protection
Amidst the torrential downpour, a sense of fear swept through the heavens and earth, engulfing everything in its path.
Zhang Xiangyang, wearing a child's mask, felt his heart tremble.
The Ox Demon...
Killed Zhou Ruoguan!
Two of the three divine law enforcers of Thunderstrike City had fallen to the Ox Demon!
Now, only he, Zhang Xiangyang, remained!
What a perfect time to finish them all off!
What should he do?
How could he possibly escape this?
Zhang Xiangyang's bare skin, exposed to the rain, was covered in goosebumps, and a chilling coldness enveloped him from all directions.
He dared not stop his escape, nor did he dare to look back.
The Ox Demon had killed Zhou Ruoguan swiftly...
If he really caught up, he might very well catch up and 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-Suppressing Retro Light' to rewind the scene and witness the Ox Demon...
At that time, the Ox Demon hadn't even completed the Blood Exchange Realm, had he?
How long had it been since then?
Two years?
In just two years, he had progressed from the Blood Exchange Realm to the Mystic Pulse Realm!
It was well known that many warriors in Thunderstrike City were stuck at the Qi Meridian Realm, with little hope of reaching the Mystic Pulse Realm.
Even the three young masters of Thunderstrike City hadn't achieved this feat.
Yet, in just two years, the Ox Demon had reached the Mystic Pulse Realm!
"A monster..."
Zhang Xiangyang didn't dare turn back, and he fled towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Only in the presence of Divine Foundation Cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion could he find some sense of security.
...
...
Li Che retrieved the Heaven-Earth Jade from Zhou Ruoguan's headless corpse and stored it in his Heaven-Earth Space.
He also absorbed Zhou Ruoguan's 'Chaos Joy Confusing Deity' divine nature and condensed it into divine nature chess pieces.
The chess pieces were also black.
It seemed that only the divine nature pieces condensed from his own 'Pure Heart' were white; all the others, whether from 'Wrathful Crying Ghost Suppressing', 'Furious Maitreya', the current 'Chaos Joy Confusing Deity', or the earlier 'Heart Shocking Sturdy' from killing Yang Kaihe, were all black chess pieces.
Even the divine nature of the temple deity was condensed into a black chess piece.
This puzzled Li Che slightly; could it be that only the pure heart's divine nature could condense into white chess pieces?
Unable to find an answer, Li Che stopped pondering.
Perhaps due to the practice of absorbing the temple deity's divine nature, Li Che's absorption of the divine nature from these 'Cultivate Nature Like a River' cultivators had become much faster.
He could almost condense a chess piece with a single breath, and it took only about a dozen breaths to drain Zhou Ruoguan.
The divine nature of the previous Yang Kaihe had also been drained during the corpse-touching process.
These divine natures... could only speed up his cultivation of the divine nature law.
Turning to look at Xixi, who was sitting on his shoulder, the Ox Demon asked in a deep voice, "Xixi, are you scared?"
Li Che didn't cover Xixi's eyes, allowing her to witness the bloodshed.
In this cruel world, Li Che knew that exposing Xixi to bloodshed early on would prevent her from being too naive and easily deceived.
Whether it was Huang Mao or someone with ulterior motives...
Xixi would at least understand the cruelty of the world and develop a sense of vigilance.
Spoiling a daughter was one thing, but it couldn't protect her from being deceived by Huang Mao with a simple trick.
And seeing bloodshed would instill in her a sense of courage and defiance, ensuring she wouldn't be bullied without retaliating.
Xixi shook her head repeatedly, "Niu Niu, Xixi isn't scared!"
Her eyes sparkled, and the rain washed over the umbrella, creating a hazy mist.
"Niu Niu is so powerful. Niu Niu, can Xixi become your disciple?"
"Xixi wants to become strong to protect Daddy and Mommy!"
Hearing this, Li Che, hidden behind the Cute Bull Mask, was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but laugh.
Disciple?
I'm your father!
However...
Feeling Xixi's sincere filial piety, Li Che smiled and agreed.
"Okay."
"Yay! Mu Granny said Daddy's temper is too good, he's honest, gentle, and easygoing. With such a temperament, it's easy for people to take advantage of him. Xixi doesn't want Daddy to be bullied, so Xixi wants to become strong!"
Upon hearing this, Xixi's eyes lit up, and she happily wiggled her plump belly while sitting on Li Che's shoulder.
"Niu Niu Master, can I play with fireworks?"
Xixi asked with her innocent eyes, blinking.
Li Che was stunned again, realizing that this girl was indeed... not so much filial as she was eager to play with explosives.
"Niu Niu Master, are you going to answer me?"
Xixi became anxious as she saw the silent Ox Demon.
"I can protect Daddy once I learn how to set off fireworks; otherwise, Daddy will be beaten to death!"
Xixi was genuinely anxious.
Li Che took a deep breath.
"You're such a filial daughter, making your father proud."
"I can't lift it."
"Xixi has incredible strength, Niu Niu Master!"
Xixi clenched her tiny fists.
Li Che didn't doubt this, as Xixi, being an exceptional Divine Child, had naturally immense strength. Li Qingshan openly stated that this girl was a great cultivation talent.
Since his daughter wanted to play with fireworks, Li Che naturally wouldn't refuse.
He handed the "Divine Gatling Wood Duck" directly to Xixi.
Xixi surprisingly lifted this massive object, larger than her own body, with great effort, her little face turning red from the strain.
But holding the Divine Gatling Wood Duck, the little girl's smile widened, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahahaha," as if going insane.
"Hahahaha, Daddy won't be beaten to death, my fireworks will protect Daddy!"
"Niu Niu Master, let's go!"
"Let's set off the fireworks!"
...
...
Thunderstrike City once had four great families: the Si Family, Xu Family, An Family, and Yang Family.
The Si Family had fallen into decline, becoming a mere shadow of its former glory.
During the Si Family's downfall, the Yang Family was enjoying the benefits, their mouths watering.
Most of the Si Family's industries had been absorbed into the Yang Family's control.
The Yang Family Mansion.
The Patriarch's study.
Yang Kaihai, the patriarch, sat in his chair, writing something. His imposing figure was like a small mountain, holding a wolf-hair brush as if embroidering like Zhang Fei.
The Yang Family's martial arts focused on a horizontal refinement technique that continuously enhanced the body's strength. This resulted in every Yang Family member being as sturdy as a small mountain.
"Have all the ordinary clan members been sent out of the city?"
Yang Kaihai put down his brush and spoke in a deep voice.
"They've all left Thunderstrike City. Those remaining in the city are clan members with Opening Meridian Cultivation and above, martial cultivators..."
"Once the City Lord's 'Thousand Buddha Carving Feast' is successfully held, our Yang Family will enjoy this last wave of benefits. Then, we'll withdraw from Thunderstrike City, leaving behind this century-old foundation... We must know when to let go."
"If Elder Patriarch can use this opportunity to break through the Divine Foundation First Stage and step into the Middle Stage, our Yang Family can easily establish a century-old legacy in other cities, and even rise higher!"
"The Thousand Buddha Carving Feast is a ritual to worship the Temple Deity. If the Temple Deity revives due to sincere worship, it will bestow blessings and release divinity. It's a grand opportunity. By staying in the city and absorbing the Temple Deity's divinity, we can all achieve significant improvements..."
Especially for Kaihe, there's a chance to forge the Divine Foundation. Our Yang Family's Pulse Opening Martial Dao has a deeper foundation compared to the other families, making it easier to forge the Divine Foundation."
Yang Kaihai stretched lazily, his joints cracking, and vital energy surging, causing a whirlwind to stir within the study.
"By the way, has there been any news from Kaihe's side? Did he manage to capture the Xu Family's Divine Child and bring her to the City Lord's Mansion?"
"There shouldn't be any issues... The Xu Family has already accepted it."
Yang Kaihai chuckled.
However, his laughter didn't last long, as...
His family had done the same thing.
Selling the Divine Child for benefits...
It was like laughing at someone for doing the same thing they themselves had done.
Below, a Yang Family expert suddenly laughed, "How could there be any problems with the young master's actions? The young master's Nature Cultivation is at its peak, combined with his Qi Meridian Martial Dao cultivation, Python Sinew Tiger Bone, unless a Divine Foundation cultivator... The Xu Family's Divine Cultivation Academy only has Xu Mu Old Lady left, this is a sure thing."
As the words ended, low laughter echoed throughout the room.
Indeed, it was a sure thing.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped.
Everyone sensed something and turned to look outside.
Their pupils contracted.
In the torrential rain.
A massive head smashed through the raindrops, creating a continuous mist as it drew an arc and landed in the center of the Yang Family's courtyard.
The head rolled a few times, revealing a hideous and terrified face.
It was their Yang Family's eldest son.
The future Divine Foundation seed...
Yang Kaihe!
"Noooooo!"
"My son!!!!"
Inside the study, Yang Kaihai's eyes widened in fury, emitting a piercing scream. His vast vital energy exploded, and his divinity surged! He burst out of the study, breaking through the door, and rushed into the rain.
However...
Before he could get close to Yang Kaihe's head.
Boom!!!!
A violent blast, and flames soared into the sky!
The Yang Family's main gate was blown open, and countless fragments flew in all directions!
The acrid smell of gunpowder filled the air.
Heavy footsteps echoed, like the thousand-year-old bell of an ancient temple...
Resounding throughout the Yang Family's courtyard.
One large and one small, two figures.
"Niu Niu Master... How do we set off the fireworks?"
A childish voice echoed.
Then, a muffled response came...
"Set them all off."
