Chapter 77: True Identity Exposed? The Ox Demon is Doomed!
Chapter 77: True Identity Exposed? The Ox Demon is Doomed!
Golden Radiance Pavilion.
The rich aroma of wine permeated the air endlessly.
The melodious music of bamboo and string instruments filled the ears, creating an enchanting atmosphere that could cloud one's judgment. A beautiful courtesan swayed her slender waist like a water snake, captivating everyone's gaze.
Xu Heli sipped fine wine while admiring the courtesan's enchanting body, feeling a fire burning within his belly.
Xu Beihu touched his nose, sensing the unusual atmosphere.
He stood up and muttered, "Big brother, I'll go out for some fresh air."
Xu Heli smiled in appreciation and nodded slightly, pleased with Xu Beihu's awareness.
As soon as Xu Beihu left the private room, the courtesan's long, fair legs softened, and she collapsed into Xu Heli's embrace, her eyes drooping.
Xu Beihu, with his tall and sturdy build, left the room with his hands behind his back and exhaled deeply.
Outside, the rain poured down in thick columns, accompanied by howling winds. The damp air enveloped his face, striking his cheeks.
However, Xu Beihu's body stiffened.
He stared in shock at the distant...
There, even amidst the raging storm, thick smoke rose, resembling an enraged black dragon roaring into the sky!
"That's... the direction of the Yang Family!"
Xu Beihu's eyes narrowed.
Has something happened to the Yang Family?
Didn't they go to the Xu Family's Divine Academy to capture a Spirit Child? Why is there smoke rising from the Yang Family's residence?
As if struck by a realization, Xu Beihu's eyes tightened...
Something big has happened!
He rushed towards the door of the private room without a second thought and barged right through.
"Big brother, something's wrong!"
Inside the private room...
Screams of women and men erupted.
...
...
Boom!
The rain suddenly exploded.
A tall figure wearing a hood and with a sword at their waist appeared. Their powerful and majestic vital energy evaporated the rain, forcefully parting the water flow on the long street.
The rain didn't cling to their black hair, dancing wildly like a swimming snake, while their muscles rippled like an enraged python.
Following this figure was the Divine Catcher Zhang Xiangyang, his face filled with heart-palpitating fear.
The two arrived silently at the Yang Family's residence, immediately noticing the shattered doors.
A strong smell of burning wafted from within.
They exchanged a glance, and Zhang Xiangyang's hair stood on end, "It's the black wooden bird that the Ox Demon uses to cause explosions and burn things!"
Young City Lord Cao Qingyuan's expression turned solemn, and he nodded slightly. His divine essence began to circulate, making Zhang Xiangyang feel as if the heavens were pressing down on him, making it difficult to even breathe.
Even as a peak Cultivating Nature River cultivator, he couldn't muster the strength to resist a Divine Foundation cultivator.
"The Ox Demon?"
Cao Qingyuan muttered.
Zhang Xiangyang described the situation, causing a slight ripple in Cao Qingyuan's heart.
"So, the attempt to capture the Spirit Child from the Xu Family's Divine Academy failed?"
Cao Qingyuan narrowed his eyes.
"You said... Li Che's daughter was sitting on the Ox Demon's shoulder? This Ox Demon isn't someone to be trifled with, a ruthless killer. How is Li Che's daughter unafraid?"
Cao Qingyuan's eyes glinted.
Skilled in mechanisms and possessing mysterious wooden explosive crows, it was clear that the Ox Demon... was proficient in wood carving.
This Ox Demon...
"Li Che... is that you?!"
"Is Li Che the Ox Demon?"
Cao Qingyuan's gaze turned distant, recalling the modest young man in the Independent Workshop, gentle and scholarly.
That well-behaved youth.
With his calm demeanor, he must now be a fearless woodcarving master.
Could he be the ruthless and cruel Ox Demon, a killer without mercy?
"Regardless of whether it's true or not..."
"One guess... is enough."
Cao Qingyuan's hood dripped with rain like a curtain, revealing a pair of cold, hidden eyes. After deep contemplation, he finally stepped into the Yang Family's residence.
Zhang Xiangyang dared not breathe, silently following behind.
When the two witnessed the scene inside the Yang Family's residence, they couldn't help but turn pale.
This Ox Demon... was merciless!
"The Yang Family..."
"... has been annihilated!"
...
...
Lu Chi returned to the Xu Family's Divine Academy with Xi Xi.
He felt a sense of bewilderment.
Initially, he thought today would be a fierce battle, but to his surprise... following Xi Xi and the Ox Demon, he witnessed a grand fireworks display.
Watching Xi Xi happily holding a paper umbrella, the adorable little girl setting off fireworks, she was both crazy and wild! He feared she might go overboard and give him a few blasts as well.
"Brother Lu Chi, my Niu Niu Master is amazing, right? Fireworks are so much fun!" Xi Xi was ecstatic.
Setting off fireworks was such a joyful experience.
Lu Chi couldn't help but feel envious, just as he had envied Xi Xi's wobbly cart. Now, he longed to set off fireworks too.
Upon returning to the Divine Academy, Aunt Mu, leaning on her python-headed walking stick, quickly approached.
"Xi Xi, are you alright? Are you injured?"
Aunt Mu hugged Xi Xi and examined her with concern.
"That Ox Demon... Did he hurt you?"
"Grandma, Master Niu Niu is a good person, he wouldn't hurt Xi Xi!" Xi Xi said earnestly.
Aunt Mu's expression changed instantly, "Master Niu Niu? You took that Ox Demon as your master?"
You silly girl!
That Ox Demon... plays with poisons, mechanisms, and hidden weapons. He has a narrow-minded heart and enjoys twisting heads. He's not a good person at all!
A true demon!
Oh dear, how could this girl take a demon as her master?
It's simply courting disaster!
Just as Aunt Mu was about to say something more, in the distance, the Ox Demon mask was removed, and a clean black martial outfit appeared, swiftly approaching through the rain, holding an oiled paper umbrella.
He had resumed his role as Xi Xi's father...
It was time to pick up his daughter from school.
...
...
The rain drenched the cold, charred corpses.
One by one, the bodies were carried out of the Yang Family Mansion, while the black-robed constables from the City Governor's Mansion silently and grimly transported the corpses.
It was too tragic, too terrifying!
Apart from those non-cultivating family members who were sent out of the city and the missing Yang Family Patriarch, a cultivator of the Divine Foundation realm, all the cultivators of the Yang Family, one of the three great families of Thunderclap, had perished!
At least the Si Family still had cultivators alive, barely surviving and preserving the family.
But the Yang Family...
Only the old patriarch, Yang Family Patriarch, remained.
However, for the Yang Family, the presence of a Divine Foundation cultivator was still good news, as it meant the family's foundation was not completely lost.
But... Although the Yang Family Patriarch was a Divine Foundation cultivator, he was almost two hundred years old, and no one knew if he still had the vigor to continue.
Could he still have children?
Otherwise, the Yang Family would eventually be without an heir and slowly decline.
The rain fell from the dark clouds, where electric snakes roamed.
It seemed to roar at the mortal world, silent yet deafening.
In the distance, within a luxurious carriage.
Xu Heli and Xu Beihu, the two brothers, stared blankly at the charred corpses being carried out, witnessing the near annihilation of the Yang Family, a chill rose from their bodies.
"Coincidence... It's too much of a coincidence..."
In the quietness, amidst the sound of boiling water in a hot stove, Xu Heli suddenly spoke.
Xu Beihu looked at him in confusion.
"It's Li Nuan Xi again..."
Xu Heli gazed out the window at the countless rain and wind, taking a deep breath.
"Whenever it involves Li Che or Li Nuan Xi... the Ox Demon always appears without fail!"
"Without exception, from Sun Changbiao in the shop, to Lei Chunlan, to the later deaths of Zhao Chuanxiong and others..."
"All of them had shown malicious intentions towards the Spirit Child, Li Nuan Xi."
"I had my suspicions before, but I dismissed them. But now... I can't be sure. I'm so confused, my mind is in turmoil..."
Xu Heli lowered his eyelids and covered his face.
But soon, his body suddenly relaxed.
"It's too late..."
"Even if I guessed it, what can I do? It's too late..."
"Now, the Ox Demon is becoming more and more brazen, as if... he's no longer worried about his identity being exposed."
"Killing Zhao Xuanhai, Zhou Ruoguan, and Yang Kahe... Annihilating the Yang Family..."
Xu Heli raised his head, and his eyes revealed a sense of horror.
"He has shown his true colors..."
Even if he guessed the Ox Demon's identity... what could he do?
He, Xu Heli, was now...
No match for the Ox Demon!
So, should he go and surrender?
Listening to the raging storm outside the carriage.
After several heavy breaths, Xu Heli's eyes flickered slightly.
"If I can guess it, others with keen insight should also discover the Ox Demon's true identity... He can't hide for long."
"Mechanisms, poisons, hidden weapons, sneak attacks, disguises... Such a gentle and scholarly person, yet so ruthless and cruel, who could have imagined this?"
"It's a pity, it's a thousand times, ten thousand times a pity that the Yang Family was annihilated... The Yang Family... still has a Divine Foundation cultivator left!"
Xu Heli's expression changed, and he clenched his fists.
"Can your boldness shake a Divine Foundation cultivator?"
"Even if you, Ox Demon, can kill Zhao Xuanhai, Zhou Ruoguan, and others of the Divine Catchers, but when facing the Divine Foundation..."
"Ox Demon..."
"You're doomed!"
