Boom!
Lightning snakes darted, roaring through the sky!
Dark clouds suddenly revealed blue lightning that resembled a spider web, dense and taut like the thick veins on the skin of a supreme martial artist!
Torrential rain poured down, shrouding the entire Feilei City in a mist.
The sudden outbreak at the Golden Splendor Pavilion left the entire Inner City in a state of shock, frozen in place.
All the forces that were unaware of the situation dared not breathe loudly, let alone act rashly.
Inner City Xu Family Manor.
Divine Cultivation Academy.
Xu You, who was sitting under the eaves reading the Great Jing Annals, was suddenly awakened by the thunder in the sky. He broke out in a cold sweat and looked towards the direction of the Golden Splendor Pavilion, his eyes narrowing.
Despite the great distance, the four massive divine foundations, resembling blazing suns, still emitted an intense radiance!
Any divine essence cultivator could sense it. Xu You's divine essence cultivation was not high; at twenty-four years old, he had barely reached the 'Nurturing Nature like a Stream' realm.
Although he had crossed into the second realm of Nurturing Nature, he had already lost the possibility of advancing to the Divine Foundation realm.
Unlike his elder brother, Xu He, who possessed exceptional talent and was one of the Three Gentlemen of Feilei, having already cultivated his 'Suspended Thought Flowing Sword' divine essence to the 'Nurturing Nature like a River' realm, and was not far from forming his divine foundation.
"A Divine Foundation battle?"
Xu You was struck as if by lightning, instantly realizing that something significant was about to happen in Feilei City.
He did not dwell on the specifics.
His gaze quickly fell upon the Divine Cultivation Academy, sweeping over the children who were cultivating their nature, and his heart eased when his eyes landed on the well-behaved Xixi.
In fact, Xu You was not the only one who noticed.
Within the Divine Cultivation Academy, an elderly woman from the Xu family slowly approached. She was a divine essence cultivator responsible for teaching the children, a 'Nurturing Nature like a River' realm powerhouse.
"Ayu, lock the gate of the Divine Cultivation Academy. No one is allowed to enter. When you return, follow me to guard the place and protect the children's safety."
The old woman held a phoenix-headed cane, her face as wrinkled as tree bark, looking incredibly serious.
Xu You hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"I wonder how Acheng is doing in the workshop... I hope he stays put and doesn't go out of curiosity."
"A divine essence cultivator's battle, even the slightest aftereffects can kill a bone-tempered martial artist, leading to eternal doom..."
Xu You shook his head, suppressing his worries.
"Xixi, come over to Uncle Xu You."
Xu You waved at Xixi.
Xixi, being very obedient, immediately ran to Xu You's side.
Following Xixi was a boy with a large head.
"Chizi, come quickly, follow Uncle Xu You, and we'll be safe!" Xixi stretched her neck and waved.
Xu You glanced at the boy with the large head, who was following Xixi.
The boy had a braid like Nezha, which, combined with his large head, made him quite eye-catching.
Xu You couldn't help but give him a second look.
"Grandma Mu, whose child is this?" Xu You couldn't help but ask.
Grandma Mu, leaning on her phoenix-headed cane, glanced at the boy with the Nezha braid and gave a cold smile.
"A friend's request..."
...
...
Bang—
A terrifying aura of blood and qi spread out like a venomous dragon, enveloping the surroundings.
Li Che, wearing a bamboo hat and a Cute Ox Mask, his eyes glaring fiercely, his body tightly bound in a stretchy suit, which seemed to outline every writhing vein and coiled muscle!
One heavy step!
The aura of blood and qi surged like thunder!
It was as if a bomb had suddenly exploded!
The water under his feet was instantly drained, like a boulder thrown into a lake, causing a wave of water to rise several feet high, the ground tiles cracking and deeply indenting!
An unprecedentedly terrifying force was unleashed in that moment.
The air currents raged and surged, the water waves forcefully pushed aside!
A figure screamed and shot out, the half-transparent water distorting into a blurry human shape, divine essence fluctuating intensely, revealing its form!
Si Mu Bai was drenched, like a drowned chicken, no longer calm and composed as he had been when facing Li Che.
As he was solely focused on escaping, trying to flee the city...
He never expected such a terrifying aura of blood and qi to suddenly erupt!
Meridian Unblocking Realm!
A Meridian Unblocking Realm martial artist... lying in wait for him?!
Which family?
No, that's impossible... How could a Meridian Unblocking Realm martial artist detect his trace when he was using a divine essence secret technique to escape?!
This secret technique was passed down by a Divine Foundation elder, and under the right conditions, no divine essence cultivator could trace his path during the escape!
Splash...
Si Mu Bai slid several meters backward in the accumulated water on the long street, his knees bent, gasping for breath, rainwater distorting as it streamed down his face.
He stared intently at the massive figure.
The thick, black, pulsating veins, the blood and qi like molten lava!
The overwhelming and powerful aura of physical cultivation!
"Bull—Demon—!!!"
Si Mu Bai, staring at the imposing figure that burned the rain, causing a mist of steam to rise, his eyes filled with unbridled killing intent!
But his eyes were also filled with sorrow, tears streaming down his face.
Si Mu Bai never imagined...
That the one blocking his path... would be the Bull Demon!
A self-proclaimed hero who should have been easily eliminated!
How dare he block the path of a 'Nurturing Nature like a River' divine essence cultivator?
Although he could sense that the Bull Demon's aura had reached the peak of a Meridian Unblocking Realm martial artist...
A Nurturing Nature cultivator, once they reached the 'like a lamp' stage, could rival a Meridian Unblocking Realm martial artist, and at the 'like a stream' or 'like a river' stages, they could easily suppress a Meridian Unblocking Realm martial artist!
The Bull Demon's current aura was only at the qi-meridian stage, a beginner in the Meridian Unblocking Realm...
Si Mu Bai, even with his divine essence weakened, still possessed a 'Nurturing Nature like a Stream' realm!
"Wah... Bull Demon... How dare you?"
Tears streamed down Si Mu Bai's face, mixing with the rain, falling into the water.
"On a rainy day, sorrow is even more fitting..."
"You can't tell whether it's the rain from the sky or my tears!"
Si Mu Bai dared not waste time; the Bull Demon's reckless attack was just what he needed...
He had long wanted to kill the Bull Demon!
As Si Mu Bai released his divine essence, countless raindrops seemed to freeze in mid-air.
Si Mu Bai sobbed, his fingers spread, pointing at Li Che's head.
From a distance of several dozen meters, countless divine essences were manipulated, the 'Wrathful Crying Ghost-Taming' divine essence, carrying a maddening sorrow, a heart-wrenching emotional manipulation, fiercely assaulting Li Che!
It was as if countless sharp, invisible needles were piercing his mind from a distance of several dozen meters.
Li Che's nose tingled, his head ached, and his face seemed on the verge of tears, facing a divine essence cultivator's all-out attack for the first time, with the divine essence directly assaulting his spirit.
The ultimate physical cultivation could not strengthen the spirit, so... martial artists were naturally weaker against divine essence cultivators!
However...
Li Che did not panic, nor did he lose control.
His arm... suddenly felt hot!
A jade-colored mist slowly rose, swirling gently!
In an instant, like rain meeting sweet dew...
The mental pain in his mind instantly vanished, as if swallowed by a whale, all transferred into his arm...
The prototype of a divine skill, Heavenly Craft: Thousand Analysis Hand!
His entire hand... seemed to become alien, the terrifying divine essence almost uncontrollable.
The originally contained angry divine essence was instantly suppressed...
But because he absorbed too much divine essence!
It seemed difficult to refine and transform it all at once, his arm bones and muscles felt a tearing pain... even his entire hand seemed to have its own will, quite bizarre.
But... it relieved Li Che's mental pain!
Enough!
Li Che's eyes narrowed, his body pressed down, slightly crouching, like a colorful white tiger baring its fangs.
One heavy step, the stone tiles trembled, the water around his feet boiling, the water like snakes, wrapping around his thick feet!
Relying on the rebound force from the Vajra Eye state, Li Che shattered countless raindrops and shot out.
When his body landed again, he had already closed the distance of several dozen meters, appearing in front of Si Mu Bai, who was still spreading his fingers to release divine essence!
On Li Che's massive body, countless 'little ghosts' formed from rainwater, as if crawling out of hell, wailing and crying, clinging to Li Che's arms, legs, shoulders, and head...
Crying and gnawing.
Under the Cute Ox Mask, Li Che's face was expressionless.
His palm, like a giant fan, fingers curved and clenched...
A realm-transcending martial technique!
White Tiger Chaotic Wind Fist!
His entire body's qi and blood roared from his pores, the countless 'little ghosts' clinging to Li Che instantly exploded into mist!
The mist... with Li Che's punch, whirled in the wind, forming a colorful white tiger!
Si Mu Bai was utterly terrified!
He never expected that the Bull Demon, a mere martial artist, would not only resist his divine essence's influence but also unleash a realm-transcending martial technique!
What kind of monster is this?
His growth... is too fast!
He was just bone-tempered, then blood-replaced, and now... he is already a Meridian Unblocking Realm martial artist!
And he has mastered a realm-transcending martial technique!
Without a master's guidance, in a small city like Feilei, how could there be a Meridian Unblocking Realm martial artist who masters a realm-transcending martial technique?!
Without exceptional martial talent and decades of diligent practice, it is impossible to master a realm-transcending martial technique!
What kind of divine being is this Bull Demon?!
But in this critical moment, Si Mu Bai had no time to think. Countless divine essences gathered on his arm, every raindrop falling turned into wailing 'little ghosts,' piling up on his arm.
Like a suit of armor!
However...
The white tiger's punch slammed into Si Mu Bai's arm.
Countless 'little ghosts' exploded, along with Si Mu Bai's shattered arm, forming a thick mist of blood!
Si Mu Bai's arm shattered, the terrifying force continued, he was shot back like a thrown ball, but before he hit the ground...
The mist of blood was torn apart, and a cute Cute Ox Mask followed, sleeves fluttering.
The sleeve arrows, infused with the recently absorbed divine essence, the poisonous Guanyin Blood Lotus, and the fine silver threads pulled at high speed...
In Si Mu Bai's terrified eyes...
Fell upon him like a storm!
Si Mu Bai had never experienced such vicious means, his mind still reeling...
Plop plop plop!
His body still flying through the air... was pierced by arrows, turning blue and purple from the poison.
Before he hit the ground, he was sliced into pieces by the razor-thin Thousand Spider Threads...
Like bait thrown into a pond, devoured by hungry fish...
Falling to the ground, the rain turned red.
Bang—!
Li Che landed instantly, weighing the black cloth-wrapped package on his back, the upgraded Wooden Crow he hadn't used to kill Si Mu Bai.
His eyes scanned the ground covered in shredded flesh, maintaining his habit of looting corpses.
In the pool of blood, he found a slightly glowing jade pendant, extremely rich in divine essence. Without hesitation, he scooped it up and pocketed it.
He pressed down his bamboo hat and, amidst the roaring lightning, darted into the rain.
