Chapter 83: Two Divine Natures of the Ox Demon, Bodhimanda Tears 【Seeking First Subscription!!!】
Amidst the winter thunder, the rain mixed with cold snowflakes.
Xu Family Compound.
Beneath the high wall with black tiles, an elderly man in black sat upright in an armchair, his face slightly pale.
Below him, Xu Heli, Xu Beihu, and the family head, Xu Naming, sat quietly. The core members of the Xu family had mostly gathered.
"Yang Jing was injured by a suspected Divine Sect expert and then faced the stimulation of his entire family's annihilation, causing his Divine Foundation to fluctuate and his emotions to go berserk..."
"The Young City Lord was present when Yang Jing was chatting casually. He suspects that the Ox Demon causing chaos in Thunder City is very likely Li Che!"
Elder Lord Xu coughed lightly, sounding slightly lazy.
Xu Heli and Xu Beihu had already guessed, so their expressions didn't change much, but Xu Naming was utterly astonished.
"Li Che?"
"Is... is he really the Ox Demon?"
Xu Naming found it hard to believe. After all, he still had Li Che's information on his desk.
Li Che was clean and pure, a local of Thunder City, raised by his uncle after losing his parents at a young age. In his teens, he seized the opportunity to join Xu Family's Wood Sculpture Workshop as a porter...
Three years ago, he successfully passed the Wood Sculpture Master's assessment and became a Wood Sculpture Master, beginning his martial arts training...
"In just three years, he grew from a nobody to the Ox Demon, a ruthless and vicious killer who annihilated the Yang Family's experts?"
Xu Naming's mind was in complete turmoil.
"There's a high probability... Everything is too coincidental. Ever since the Spirit Infancy Sect wanted to move against Li Nuanxi, their experts have been dying one after another, all at the hands of the Ox Demon..."
"Even if Li Che isn't the Ox Demon, Li Nuanxi still has a strong connection to him."
"To capture or even eliminate the Ox Demon, Li Nuanxi is the key."
Elder Lord Xu coughed violently, his face turning red.
"Grandmasters... they are truly powerful. Even without Divinity, their physical bodies can rival Divine Foundation Cultivators and suppress them..."
The old man shook his head.
"Young City Lord Cao Qingyuan has taken people to Li Che's home."
"Once it's confirmed that Li Che is the Ox Demon... sell everyone in Li Che's compound and sever all ties."
"Don't interfere with Cao Qingyuan's capture of anyone. It has nothing to do with us."
Elder Lord Xu's eyes flashed.
"With Yang Jing crippled and Old Man Si dead, there are only two Divine Foundation Cultivators left to share the benefits of the Thousand Buddha Feast—me and Old Man An. We two are enough to enjoy this opportunity."
"At this critical juncture, we must not give the City Governor's Mansion any excuse, or else all our efforts will be in vain."
Xu Heli's eyes flickered, and he respectfully said, "What about the Ox Demon?"
The old lord smiled faintly.
"Rest assured, that Ox Demon... is as good as dead."
"Yang Jing is now like a mad dog, biting whoever he catches. We Divine Foundation Cultivators would naturally not approach him easily..."
"But after his battle with the Ox Demon, the surroundings are sealed off, and the Ox Demon won't be able to escape even if he wanted to."
"He's ruined so many good things for the City Governor's Mansion..."
"Someone already wants to ensure this Ox Demon doesn't live any longer."
Elder Lord Xu gazed at the fluttering rain and snow.
"Today, the Ox Demon must die."
...
...
Li Che was well aware of the strength and tenacity of Divine Foundation Cultivators.
He had never underestimated them, and although he harbored the ambition to challenge them, he wouldn't choose to die in vain.
He had already set up an ambush in an alley, deploying all the hidden weapons and mechanisms he had mastered so far, creating a battlefield tailored to his strengths!
His Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit had reached Level 3 and was quite mature.
Combined with his Thousand Analysis Hands, Li Che's control over mechanisms and hidden weapons was also top-notch.
Originally, Li Che had set this trap for the Divine Foundation Cultivators of the Spirit Infancy Sect, but he didn't expect Yang Family's Patriarch to come personally for reconnaissance. Li Che wouldn't show any mercy.
He took out the 'Namo Gatling' and sent him to meet the Buddha! Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat...
Fire spewed forth!
Six metal cylinders rotated at high speed, spewing fire like a dazzling flame lotus blooming in the Ox Demon's palm!
One by one, the wooden ducks ignited, releasing shrill screams as they soared out, evaporating and distorting the rain and snow, and crashing into the burly mountain of flesh wrapped in thousand spider threads!
Behind Yang Jing, a Divine Foundation millstone floated, his eyes bloodshot, and his Divinity surged and spread.
Like a crashing wave, the wooden ducks that sprayed out first were blasted in midair by his powerful Divinity, and the flames swept out, creating a shockwave.
But there were too many...
Too many wooden ducks.
To show respect to the Divine Foundation Cultivator, Li Che unleashed all six thousand shots without reservation, bombarding them all! The rising smoke was pungent, filling the alley's air.
The moment Yang Jia Laodeng was engulfed by the sparks, the exploding fireworks ignited a blaze that not only melted the rain and snow but also set off a mushroom cloud, shaking and blasting countless raindrops into fragments, while thick black smoke billowed into the sky.
"Wuuuuuu..."
After the last Wooden Raven was fired, the metal tube of the Namo Gatling in the Ox Demon's hand turned crimson, like a red-hot branding iron, slowly rolling to a stop, and hissing as it emitted hot air.
Li Che put away the Namo Gatling, and beneath the Ox Demon's mask, his eyes calmly fixed on the enormous, flesh-like figure at the end of the alley.
"As expected... Six thousand rounds are not enough."
Or, in the end, it was because the explosive power of the Wooden Ravens was insufficient.
Although the quantity had increased, the quality was lacking, and the damage was ultimately limited.
But the effect was not entirely absent.
Winter thunder rumbled, and electric snakes slithered.
As if a fierce storm had swept through, the smoke and dust were blown away, revealing the flesh-torn, charred figure of the meat mountain.
Drip... drip...
Blood trickled to the ground, making a cracking sound.
Yang Jing's white hair flew wildly as he panted heavily.
"This really surprised me..."
"I'm so shocked—Ahhhh!"
Yang Jing suddenly raised his head, his face torn by the Wooden Ravens' onslaught, revealing a look of madness. The Divine Foundation Millstone behind him shone brightly, and the divine light that draped over him formed a light veil.
It was this divine veil that had protected him from the barrage of six thousand Wooden Ravens.
However, his injuries were severe; not only was his flesh and blood mangled, but his organs and spine were also visibly damaged!
Such injuries... only fueled Yang Jing's anger and madness. How could a Divine Foundation Cultivator be forced into such a desperate situation by a Temperament Cultivator?
The intense Heart-Shocking Iron Fist divine nature surged out of the Divine Foundation like a tidal wave, resembling several rivers that filled the entire alley.
Yang Jing intended to use his pure 'rank' to oppress and completely crush the Ox Demon before him.
Dealing with a Temperament Cultivator... the most effective and domineering method was rank suppression!
The Ox Demon had chosen this alley, which was already rigged with traps, but for Yang Jing, this was his... home field!
Within the narrow alley, the pressure of the divine nature's rank was inescapable, forcing the Ox Demon to face it head-on.
A low-level Temperament Cultivator facing a high-level Divine Foundation Cultivator!
Kneel before me...
Yang Jing roared, his body drenched in blood, and the flesh mountain, battered by six thousand Wooden Ravens, took a step forward and then began to run.
The Thousand Spider Threads were all torn apart!
Like a terrifying mountain of flesh, it collapsed and crushed everything in its path.
The ground shook, and the terrifying divine nature's constant screams and howls made eardrums nearly burst.
In Yang Jing's eyes, the Ox Demon was indeed frozen in place, unable to move under the pressure of the Divine Foundation's rank.
All he needed to do was walk over and twist off the Ox Demon's head to avenge his entire Yang family.
Winter thunder and snow fell from the sky, but before they could land on the flesh mountain, they evaporated and twisted, turning into rising steam.
The flesh mountain's crimson eyes were filled with a maniacal grin.
However, the next moment...
His grin froze.
Because, under the oppressive divine nature of the Divine Foundation, the Ox Demon seemed to feel no pressure from the rank difference, and with sheer defiance, he raised his hand.
A large iron bow appeared in his hand, and he drew the bowstring, pulling it taut...
In an instant!
A wailing ghostly cry echoed through the alley.
Divine Nature: Crying Wrath!
But this was not what shocked Yang Jing the most.
The main reason was the Ox Demon's body, which suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light, as if he had donned a golden garment, resembling an enraged Buddha.
Divine Nature: Wrathful Maitreya!
Bodhimanda Golden Robe!
Wait!
Two divine natures!
And both at the 'Cultivating Nature River' realm?!
What the hell was this?!
Yang Jing, the flesh mountain, stood with his hair standing on end, shocked to his core, as if his previously chaotic and insane will had been awakened by this incomprehensible sight.
"Impossible!"
"To cultivate two divine natures to the 'Cultivating Nature River' realm?!"
"Impossible!"
Yang Jing let out a muffled roar.
It was unclear if it was the influence of the Heart-Shocking Iron Fist divine nature or the shock of the situation.
The Ox Demon pulled the bowstring, and on the divine nature-infused arrow, wind and thunder intertwined...
It was the Si Family's divine martial skill, Crying Wrath, Hundred Ghosts, Wind, and Thunder Arrows!
With the Bodhimanda Golden Robe, the horizontal refining power was enhanced, and under the blessing of the Wrathful Maitreya divine nature, strength surged from the coiled dragon's sinews in his back.
Creak, creak...
The longbow seemed on the verge of snapping.
At the tip of the Crying Wrath, Hundred Ghosts, Wind, and Thunder Arrows, a tear-shaped wooden carving was bound with divine nature, crafted from the 'Flesh-Blood Red' spirit wood, ranking seventh in the Tang Clan's Mechanism Compendium, the Bodhi Blood Tears!
With two divine natures entwined and the seventh-ranked mechanism, this was Li Che's... full firepower!
He was determined to expose the Divine Foundation's true strength!
His hooked fingers suddenly relaxed.
Instantly, the bowstring vibrated, accompanied by countless wailing and mournful cries, as the wind and thunder stirred.
An arrow pierced through the rain and snow, slicing smoothly, causing ripples in the air, as if breaking through an energy barrier.
"It's useless. The Cultivating Nature River divine nature... can't break through my Divine Foundation divine nature!"
"Impossible... Huh?
"Ah?!"
A loud splat!
The Wrathful Crying Wind and Thunder Arrows fiercely struck the Divine Nature robe hanging outside the meat mountain, but...
The next moment, the Wind and Thunder Arrows indeed failed to penetrate the Divine Nature robe. However, the blood-colored teardrop attached to the arrowhead...
Silky smooth, it tore through the Divine Foundation Cultivator's Divine Nature robe.
With a splat...
It pierced through the thick layers of fat and flesh of the meat mountain, infiltrating its body!
Such terrifying penetration!
Even Li Che himself was a bit surprised.
"Such penetration..."
Li Che's eyes behind the Ox Demon mask grew brighter and brighter.
And this penetration was just an additional effect of the Bodhimanda Tears, which was ranked seventh among the Tang Clan's Mechanism Dao. The true terror of this Bodhimanda Tears lay in its explosive power!
Boom!
A muffled sound reverberated!
Suddenly, from within Yang Jing's body, the Bodhimanda Tears burst forth, releasing countless extremely fine needles. Each needle seemed to have a life of its own, curling up like shrimp in an instant, carrying a clump of flesh and blood with it!
The next moment, Li Che saw that Yang Jing's body, a Divine Foundation Cultivator, had been gouged with hundreds and thousands of bloody holes. From each hole, large blood droplets uncontrollably rolled out, one after another.
Pitter-patter...
It was as if blood-colored tears, severed from their source, were flowing out of Yang Jing's body.
In an instant, it seemed as if all the blood in Yang Jing's body had been drawn out.
Even a Mystic Pulse martial artist, if drained of blood...
Would likely not be able to withstand it.
Dizziness, loss of strength, and blurred consciousness...
Thud...
Yang Jing knelt on the ground.
Li Che raised his longbow once more, drew the bowstring, and fired!
Wrathful Crying Wind and Thunder Arrows!
Arrow after arrow, all shot towards Yang Jing's massive head.
Finally...
Bang!
The huge head, under the bombardment of wind and thunder...
Exploded into pieces!
Behind the meat mountain, the suspended Divine Foundation Millstone...
Crack! Crack! Crack!
It was covered in cracks.
Blown to smithereens!
Most of it dissipated back into the heavens and earth, leaving only a fragment of the Divine Foundation, falling into the thick blood water.
After continuously firing several arrows at the corpse with stability and caution.
The robust figure of the Ox Demon took heavy steps forward.
Without hesitation, he collected the fragment of the Divine Foundation.
Then, he continued to search through the corpse...
Seeking the fruits of his labor.
...
...
City Governor's Mansion.
Holding a statue of the "Three-Eyed Wrathful True Monarch Spirit Baby Statue" that was extremely similar to the one in the bizarre temple, City Governor Cao Guang opened his mouth, devouring the Divine Nature essence from the statue.
Between his eyebrows, a faint black air current seemed to gather, causing his brows to furrow and then relax.
It was as if something was about to break through.
Suddenly, City Governor Cao Guang opened his eyes wide, carefully put down the replica of the Temple Spirit Baby Statue, and with a flash, he appeared on the peak of the black tile roof of the City Governor's Mansion, its eaves and corners twisted by the rain and snow.
The rain and snow twisted and avoided his head.
His eyes flickered, sensing the Divine Nature that sealed the alley, and astonishment emerged from his pupils like thick ink.
"How could the aura of the Yang Family's Divine Foundation disappear so quickly..."
"It's gone?!"
...
...
Li Family Residence.
The wind and snow swayed.
Cao Qingyuan, with a knife at his waist, was followed by Zhang Xiangyang, the Solo Seed of Divine Capture, and several Black Tile Patrol officers. They formed a line, crossed the alley, and arrived at Li Che's residence.
The gate was tightly shut, and the sound of excited children playing could be heard from within.
Cao Qingyuan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting such stability and harmony within Li Che's home.
This... was quite different from what he had imagined.
His eyebrows furrowed.
Cao Qingyuan raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After a moment.
With a creak...
Li Che opened the door, dressed in a clean and tidy black martial arts outfit, his demeanor scholarly and amiable.
