Chapter 55: Celestial Artisan · Namo Gatling · Wooden Crow
Killing, looting, and immediately fleeing.
Li Che's series of actions were fluid and incredibly proficient.
His speed was so extreme that from the moment he burst out to killing Si Mu Bai, it took no more than ten breaths.
But this brief exchange was extremely perilous. If Li Che couldn't withstand the impact of Si Mu Bai's Divine Essence on his spirit, he might be the one lying on the ground now.
The only thing Li Che regretted was that Si Mu Bai's body didn't have much of value.
The expected Divine Essence cultivation methods, advanced internal energy techniques, and even a single Gold Leaf were nowhere to be found!
Unreasonable!
This wasn't how a talented young master of a prestigious family should travel!
BOOM!!!
Li Che gathered his spirit and energy, stomping his foot on the ground. Instantly, the accumulated water exploded like a wall of rain, while his figure shot out like a cannonball.
The "Sleeping Dragon Elephant" technique was also pushed to its limits, making him seem as if he had completely vanished from the mortal world.
"Stop right there!!!"
The explosive cry echoed from the Golden Splendor Pavilion in an instant.
Three figures, both shocked and angry, burst through the rain curtain and pursued him at high speed, tearing the rain apart!
A powerful Divine Will spread, enveloping the wind and rain!
They wore Tiger Mask, Leopard Mask, and Goat Mask, respectively...
Under the rain, they looked particularly sinister!
The overwhelming Divine Will intertwined, forming a majestic aura around them, like a surging river!
Li Che lowered his hood, not responding with a single word.
Like a shadow, he moved swiftly along the wall in the storm.
Tap tap tap tap...
His footsteps were incredibly light, each step barely causing a ripple in the rain.
Despite this, Li Che still felt the three figures getting closer!
Not only that, from the direction of the outer city, a scorching and terrifying Divine Essence aura was also sweeping towards him.
He was like a glaring beacon, impossible to hide.
Even with the "Sleeping Dragon Elephant" technique pushed to its limits...
"I've been exposed all along... Even the breath-hiding and bone-concealing effects of the 'Sleeping Dragon Elephant' couldn't help me escape..."
Li Che immediately thought of the Jade Pendant he had looted from the body.
It must be that Jade Pendant...
It exposed his whereabouts!
And these people had abandoned Si Mu Bai's body to come after him directly...
This undoubtedly sent a clear message.
Jade Pendant...
A good thing!
...
...
The rain seemed to completely distort at this moment!
Thud!
A single step, and his body sharply turned in the rain.
The accumulated water splashed out like a wall, everything seemed to freeze.
"Hahaha... It's the Bull Demon... Hahaha... Quite something..."
A figure wearing a laughing Girl Child Mask, carrying a long spear, stood there. The rain parted above his head like an umbrella.
A strong Divine Will permeated the surroundings, mysteriously bringing a sense of joy. Each raindrop seemed to carry happiness and laughter, making one... want to burst into laughter uncontrollably.
Li Che's brows furrowed, his eyes icy cold, but under the influence of the Divine Essence, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
The rain seemed to freeze.
The torrential rain suddenly paused in mid-air, controlled by the powerful Divine Essence.
Besides the Girl Child Mask figure, two more figures stood on either side, blocking his escape route.
The other two, both wearing swords at their waists, one was as massive as a bear, eyes glaring, his Divine Essence seemingly igniting the rain!
Li Che recognized this person...
One of the Three Divine Captains... Zhao Xuanhai, the "Wrathful Maitreya"!
The other two...
Li Che's eyes under the Ox Mask flickered, glancing at them.
These two must be the other two of the Three Divine Captains.
Zhang Xiangyang, the "Fear-Inducing Light Tracer", and Zhou Ruoguan, the "Confusing Joy Deity"!
Xu You had briefed Li Che on the Divine Essence techniques of the Three Divine Captains, as their characteristics were too obvious to mistake.
"Wrathful Maitreya", "Fear-Inducing Light Tracer", "Confusing Joy Deity"!
The Three Divine Techniques were taught by the imperial court!
At this moment, they unleashed their Divine Essence without hesitation or concealment.
"The Three Divine Captains... all have the identity of the Spirit Child Sect..." Li Che's face under the mask was extremely grim.
This city... is rotten to the core!
The sky and earth were calm and rainless, divided by Divine Essence.
It seemed like three surging rivers blocked his path.
"Bull Demon, Bull Demon..."
"I never thought Si Mu Bai would die at your hands..."
"The Three Gentlemen of Feilei, hahaha, what a terrible death... torn apart, fragmented into countless pieces... hahaha, well done!"
The figure wearing the laughing Girl Child Mask stared at Li Che.
"Bull Demon... specializing in killing members of the Spirit Child Sect? We are the three great incense masters of the Spirit Child Sect, you..."
"Come and kill us, then."
The towering figure of Zhao Xuanhai, wearing an angry Boy Child Mask, sneered and taunted.
Another figure wearing a fearful Boy Child Mask remained silent, looking up into the distance.
The Tiger Masked Figure, Leopard Masked Figure, and Goat Masked Figure... all arrived.
Six Divine Essence cultivators, all as calm as rivers, instantly formed a barrier around him.
They stood facing each other, and at this moment, the Bull Demon... seemed to be of no concern to them.
To the six Divine Essence cultivators, a mere martial artist like the Bull Demon... could be wiped out with a wave of the hand.
Si Mu Bai died because he was already injured, desperate to escape, and was ambushed and injured by a hidden weapon...
He was directly killed by the Bull Demon.
But they wouldn't be, that was their absolute confidence.
"Suspended Thought Flowing Sword, Heart Shocked by Steel, Hundred Turns of Worried Dreams... the Xu family, the Yang family, and the An family..."
"Xu He Li, An Ruo Su, you were all part of the Three Gentlemen of Feilei. To be so eager to betray your good brother, don't you feel ashamed?"
...
...
Although Li Che had unleashed the "Dragon-Elephant Vajra" technique, his aura reaching that of a Pulse-Through Warrior, under the six powerful Divine Essence auras, he became insignificant.
At this moment, he was being ignored...
Though he was the notorious Bull Demon.
But these people clearly didn't take him seriously.
This was...
Too good.
Li Che liked being ignored. Clearly, they were all standing off, and whoever attacked him first to seize the Jade Pendant from Si Mu Bai would break the current stalemate.
But, this feeling of being controlled by others, Li Che didn't like.
He clenched his fingers, gripping the Jade Pendant.
He was hesitating whether to discard the Jade Pendant, as carrying it would inevitably lead to his discovery, making it impossible to escape.
Just as Li Che was racking his brain.
In his chest...
The "Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit" suddenly throbbed, as if about to burst out of his chest.
Li Che was taken aback, feeling the Divine Essence cultivated for so long within the "Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit" surge out and forcefully insert itself into the Jade Pendant.
The Divine Essence aura within the Jade Pendant instantly vanished.
And the entire Jade Pendant disappeared from Li Che's hand...
Huh?
At this moment.
Not just Li Che.
Even the six people in the standoff were greatly alarmed.
Their gazes locked onto the Bull Demon, but they couldn't sense the aura of Si Mu Bai's Jade Pendant at all.
"The Heaven and Earth Jade is gone, the Divine Essence Fragment of the Si family's old master... has vanished into thin air!"
The expressions under their masks changed drastically!
"Bull Demon... what have you done?"
At this moment, they finally shifted their attention back to Li Che.
A Divine Essence Fragment of a Divine Technique cultivator was crucial for them to comprehend and touch the Divine Technique!
This was a tremendous opportunity and one of the main goals of the various families targeting the Si family.
The old master of the Si family, with his damaged Divine Technique, would inevitably divide his Divine Essence Fragment before dying to ensure the continuation of the Si family.
And the one who could receive the Divine Essence Fragment... would be Si Mu Bai, the most promising successor to achieve the Divine Technique.
The corners of Li Che's lips under the Ox Mask couldn't help but rise.
The Divine Essence Fragment's aura disappeared?
That means... the tracking is gone?
He slammed the large object he was carrying onto the ground, splashing up muddy water.
His massive body, with surging qi and blood, like a dragon, muscles trembling and roaring...
Li Che looked at the Divine Essence cultivators who didn't take him seriously...
"Gentlemen, I have a big surprise for you!"
"Feel... the art of explosion."
Li Che's voice was low and filled with madness.
He lifted the black cloth, single-handedly carrying the enhanced version of the "Wooden Crow"...
The cylindrical body made of high-quality ebony stood with five black metal tubes protruding from it, filled with thumb-sized Wooden Crows arranged neatly inside.
The Bull Demon's muscles twitched, his body surging with powerful qi and internal energy, pouring into the strange mechanism he was aiming at them...
You have Divine Essence...
I have firepower!
"Celestial Artisan · Namo Gatling · Wooden Crow!"
"Gentlemen..."
"Enjoy the fireworks!"
