Chapter 83: Two Divine Natures of the Ox Demon, Bodhimanda's Bloody Tears [Seeking First Day Subscriptions!!!]
Amidst the winter's thunder, cold snowflakes mixed with the rain.
Xu Family Mansion.
Beneath the high walls and dark tiles, an elderly man in black sat atop a grandmaster's chair, his face slightly pale.
Below him, Xu He Li, Xu Beihu, and the family head, Xu Nanming, sat quietly, the core members of the Xu family, all gathered.
"Yang Jing was injured by that suspected Divine Sect expert, and then faced the stimulation of his family's annihilation, his Divine Foundation was shocked, leading to his emotional turmoil and insanity..."
"When the Young City Lord chatted with Yang Jing, I was also there... The Young City Lord speculated that the Ox Demon causing chaos in Thunderstrike City is very likely Li Che!"
The old master of the Xu family coughed lightly, looking somewhat languid.
Xu He Li and Xu Beihu had already suspected, so their expressions didn't change much, but Xu Nanming was utterly astonished.
"Li Che?"
"He... is he really the Ox Demon?"
Xu Nanming found it hard to believe. After all, he still had Li Che's information on his desk.
A clean and innocent villager, born and raised in Thunderstrike City, orphaned at a young age, raised by his uncle, he seized the opportunity when he was in his teens and joined the Xu family's woodcarving shop as a porter...
Three years ago, he successfully passed the woodcarving master's examination and became a woodcarving master, beginning his martial arts training...
"In just three years, he grew from a mere villager to the Ox Demon, a cruel and fierce killer who annihilated the Yang family's experts?"
Xu Nanming's mind was in turmoil.
"There's a high probability... Everything is too coincidental. Since the Spirit Infants Sect wanted to move against Li Wanxi, their experts have continuously died, all at the hands of the Ox Demon..."
"Even if Li Che isn't the Ox Demon, Li Wanxi still has a significant connection with him."
"To capture... or even eliminate the Ox Demon, Li Wanxi is the key."
The old master of the Xu family began to cough violently.
His face turned bright red.
"A grandmaster... truly powerful, even without a Divine Nature, his physical body alone can rival a Divine Foundation, even suppressing Divine Foundations..."
The old man shook his head.
"Grandmaster Cao Qingyuan is leading people to Li Che's home."
"Once it's confirmed that Li Che is the Ox Demon... sell everyone in his courtyard and sever all ties."
"Don't try to stop Cao Qingyuan from capturing anyone; it's none of our business."
The old master's eyes flashed.
"With Yang Jing disabled and the Shi family's old ghost dead, two Divine Foundations who shared the benefits of the Thousand Buddha Carving Feast are gone... only me and the An family's old man remain. We two... are enough to enjoy these benefits."
"At this critical juncture, we must not give the City Lord's Mansion any excuses, or else everything will be for naught."
Xu He Li's eyes flashed, and he respectfully said, "What about the Ox Demon then...?"
The old master smiled faintly.
"Rest assured, that Ox Demon... is as good as dead."
"Yang Jing is already like a mad dog, biting anyone he catches. We Divine Foundations naturally won't approach him easily..."
"But after his battle with the Ox Demon, the surroundings were sealed, and the Ox Demon couldn't possibly escape."
"He ruined so many good things for the City Lord's Mansion..."
"Someone no longer wants this Ox Demon to live."
The old master of the Xu family gazed at the fluttering snow mixed with rain.
"Today, the Ox Demon must die."
...
...
Li Che was well aware of the power and tenacity of Divine Foundations.
He had never underestimated them, and although he harbored the thought of challenging Divine Foundations, he wasn't going to throw his life away.
He had already set up a trap in an alley, arranging all the mechanisms and hidden weapons he had mastered to date, creating a trap uniquely his own!
His Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit had reached Level 3 and was quite mature.
Combined with his Thousand Analytic Hands, Li Che's control over mechanisms and hidden weapons was also top-notch.
Originally, Li Che had set this trap for the Spirit Infants Sect's Divine Foundation Cultivator, but never did he expect that Elder Yang would come to inspect the site personally, and Li Che wouldn't let this opportunity pass.
Taking out the Namo Gatling, he sent him to meet the Buddha! Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat!
Flame tongues erupted!
Six metal cylinders spun at high speed, spewing flames like a dazzling fire lotus in the Ox Demon's palm.
Wooden crows ignited one after another, releasing piercing screams as they whistled out, vaporizing the twisted rain and snow, and colliding with the towering mountain of flesh wrapped in a thousand spider threads!
Behind Yang Jing, a Divine Foundation Disc hovered, its eyes glowing crimson, and his Divine Nature continuously shocked.
Like crashing waves, the wooden crows that spewed out first were smashed by his powerful Divine Nature in midair, exploding in a blaze that swept up a shockwave.
But there were too many...
Too many wooden crows.
To show respect to the Divine Foundation Cultivator, Li Che unleashed all six thousand shots without reservation, bombarding them all!
The ignited gunpowder smoke was pungent, filling the alley's air.
Yang Jing's body was instantly engulfed by sparks, and the bursting fireworks ignited a flame that even rain and snow couldn't extinguish!
It was like a mushroom cloud rising from the ground, shaking and sending out shockwaves, shattering countless raindrops, and thick black smoke billowing upwards!
"Wuuuuuu..."
After the last wooden crow was fired.
The "Namo Gatling" metal tube in the Bull 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 his eyes in the Bull Demon's hands faintly stared at the distant alley entrance, where a colossal figure stood, as mighty as a mountain of flesh.
"As expected... six thousand rounds aren't enough."
Or, to put it bluntly.
It was because the explosive power of the wooden crows wasn't strong enough.
Although the quantity had increased, the quality was lacking, and the damage was ultimately insufficient.
But it wasn't without effect.
Winter thunder rumbled, and electric snakes slithered.
It was as if a fierce storm had blown through, sweeping away the smoke and dust, revealing the shredded skin and torn flesh, and the charred, mountainous figure.
Tick... tick...
Blood dripped onto the ground, making a shattering sound.
Yang Jing's white hair flew wildly as he panted heavily.
"You really surprised me!"
"I'm so shocked—ahhhh!"
Yang Jing suddenly raised his head, his face shattered by the wooden crows, revealing a look of frenzy. The divine foundation disc on his back glowed brightly, and the divine nature that had been hanging over him descended, forming a light veil.
It was this divine nature veil that had protected him from the barrage of six thousand wooden crows.
However, the injuries were not light. Not only was his flesh and blood mangled, but even his organs and spine were visibly damaged!
These injuries... further fueled Yang Jing's anger and frenzy. A Divine Foundation Cultivator, forced to such a state by a mere temperament cultivator!
The intense 'Heart Stun Firmness' divine nature surged out from the Divine Foundation like a tide, transforming into numerous rivers that filled the entire alley!
Yang Jing planned to use pure 'Rank Suppression' to crush the Bull Demon before him...
Divine Foundation against Temperament... the most effective and dominant approach! Rank Suppression!
The Bull Demon had chosen this alley, which was already rigged with traps... but for Yang Jing, this was also his... home field! Within this alley, the pressure of the divine nature's rank left no escape, forcing the Bull Demon to face it head-on!
Temperament facing Divine Foundation...
Lower stage, facing higher stage!
Kneel before me...
Yang Jing roared, his body drenched in blood, his flesh torn by the six thousand wooden crows. He took a step forward, then ran! The thousand spider threads were all torn apart!
Like a terrifying mountain of flesh, it collapsed and rolled forward.
The ground shook and mountains trembled, accompanied by terrifying screams and wails that nearly ruptured eardrums. In Yang Jing's eyes, the Bull Demon stood frozen in place, unable to move under the pressure of the Divine Foundation's rank...
All Yang Jing needed to do was walk over and twist off the Bull Demon's head to avenge his entire Yang Clan.
Winter thunder and rain fell from the sky, but before they could land on the mountain of flesh, they evaporated and twisted, turning into rising hot air.
The mountain of flesh's scarlet eyes gleamed with a crazed grin. However, the next moment...
His grin froze.
Because, under the pressure of Yang Jing's divine nature, the Bull Demon seemed to feel no rank pressure at all, and audaciously raised a fine iron bow, drawing the string...
In an instant!
A wailing sound of ghostly cries filled the air!
Divine Nature 'Wrathful Crying Ghost Pacifier'!
But this wasn't the main reason for Yang Jing's shock.
The primary reason was the radiant golden light that burst forth from the Bull Demon's body, as if he had donned a golden garment, resembling a Buddha in golden armor!
Divine Nature 'Wrathful Compassionate Buddha'!
Buddha's Golden Armor!
Wait!
Two divine natures, both at the 'Nature Cultivation Like River' realm?!
What the hell is this?!
Yang Jing's hair stood on end, shocked to his core, as if his previously chaotic and frenzied will had awakened at this incomprehensible sight.
"Impossible!"
"To cultivate two divine natures to the 'Nature Like River' realm?!"
"Impossible!"
Yang Jing's mouth emitted a muffled roar. It was unclear if this was due to the influence of the 'Heart Stun Firmness' divine nature.
The Bull Demon's bow was fully drawn, and with divine nature condensed into the arrow, wind and thunder intertwined...
It was the Shi Clan's divine nature martial skill, 'Wrathful Crying Ghost Pacifier Wind Thunder Arrow'!
With the Buddha's Golden Armor, the horizontal refinement power received a boost, and under the support of the 'Wrathful Compassionate Buddha' divine nature, power surged from the coiled dragon sinews on his back!
Creak creak creak...
The bowstring was on the verge of snapping!
At the tip of the 'Wrathful Crying Ghost Pacifier Wind Thunder Arrow', a tear-shaped piece of wood was bound by divine nature. It was made from 'Bodhimanda' spirit wood, ranked seventh in the 'Tang Clan Mechanism Compendium', a mechanism known as 'Bodhimanda Blood Tears'!
With two divine natures intertwined and the addition of the mechanism, this was Li Che's... full firepower!
To challenge the Divine Foundation's confidence!
His five fingers curled like hooks, and as he released the bowstring, countless wailing ghostly cries filled the air, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder!
The arrow pierced through rain and snow, slicing through the air, causing ripples in the atmosphere, as if wind and thunder were swirling around it.
"Useless, the 'Nature Like River' divine nature can't break through my Divine Foundation nature!"
"Impossible... huh?
Huh?!"
Pfft!
The Grief Cry Hundred Ghosts Wind-Thunder Arrows fiercely struck the Divine Nature garment hanging outside the Meat Mountain, but...
The next moment, the Wind-Thunder Arrows indeed failed to break through the Divine Nature garment. However, the droplet-shaped blood-colored tear jewel tied to the arrowhead...
Silky smooth, it tore through the Divine Foundation Cultivator's Divine Nature garment.
Pfft!
Piercing through the thick fat and flesh of the Meat Mountain, it entered his body!
Such terrifying penetration!
Even Li Che himself was a little 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 "Bodhi Blood Tears." This seventh-ranked Tang Clan mechanism, the "Bodhi Blood Tears"... its true power lay in its explosive release!
Boom!
A muffled sound!
Suddenly, from within Yang Jing's body, the Bodhi Blood Tears blossomed, releasing countless extremely fine needles. Each needle seemed to have a life of its own, curling up like shrimp in an instant, drawing out a clump of flesh and blood!
The next moment, Li Che saw that the body of the Divine Foundation Cultivator Yang Jing had thousands of blood holes, and in each blood hole, there was a large drop of blood, uncontrollably rolling out!
Pat-pat-pat...
Like blood-colored, broken tear drops!
In an instant, it seemed as if all the blood in his body had been drawn out.
Even a Mystic Pulse martial artist, if they had their blood drained...
would likely not be able to withstand it.
Dizziness, loss of strength, blurred consciousness...
Thud...
Yang Jing knelt on the ground.
Li Che raised his bow again, drew the string, and fired in rapid succession!
Grief Cry Hundred Ghosts Wind-Thunder Arrows!
Arrow after arrow shot towards Yang Jing's massive head.
Finally...
Bang!
The huge head, under the wind and thunder bombardment...
exploded!
Behind the Meat Mountain, the floating Divine Foundation Disc...
Screech, screech...
Cracks spread across it.
It exploded into countless pieces!
Most of it dissipated back into the heavens and earth, leaving only a single Divine Foundation Disc, falling into the thick blood water.
After consecutively firing several arrows at the corpse with great care.
The burly Ox Demon, with heavy steps, approached.
Without hesitation, he collected the Divine Foundation Disc fragment.
Then, he turned over the corpse and searched for the fruits of his labor.
...
...
City Lord's Mansion.
City Lord Cao Guang, holding a statue of the "Three-Eyed Wrathful True Monarch Spirit Infant Statue" that was extremely similar to the Temple Deity in the Mysterious Temple, was silently devouring the statue's Divine Nature.
Between his eyebrows... faintly, it seemed as if a stream of black energy was gathering, his eyebrows occasionally swelling and then subsiding.
It was as if something was about to break through.
Suddenly, City Lord Cao Guang opened his eyes wide, carefully put down the imitation of the Temple Deity's Three-Eyed Spirit Infant Statue, and with a flash, he appeared on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion, atop the black-tiled eaves.
The rain and snow twisted and avoided him, and his eyes kept flickering as he sensed the Divine Nature sealing off the alley. Astonishment like thick ink emerged from his pupils.
"How did the Yang Clan's Divine Foundation aura disappear so quickly..."
"It's gone?!"
...
...
Li Family's Courtyard.
The wind and snow swayed.
Cao Qingyuan, with a knife at his waist, was followed by the unique Divine Catcher Zhang Xiangyang and several Black Agency Law Enforcers. The group formed a line, crossed the alley, and arrived at Li Che's courtyard in the inner city.
The courtyard gate was tightly shut, and from within, they could hear the excited laughter of children playing.
Cao Qingyuan was slightly startled, seemingly not expecting Li Che's home to be so peaceful and harmonious.
This... was a little different from what he had imagined.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Cao Qingyuan raised his hand and knocked on the door.
A moment later.
With a creak...
Li Che opened the door, dressed in clean and tidy black martial attire, looking gentle and harmonious.
