BANG!
Amid the peals of thunder, Song Ciwan’s palm slamd down again with ferocious force.
BANG! BANG!
She caved in the Giant Village Chief’s sternum. At the sa ti, a red glow and a wisp of green qi faintly flashed in Song Ciwan’s palm.
The green qi was the strange wisp she had absorbed from the Giant Village Chief himself, while the red glow ca from the Blazing Fla Technique.
When Song Ciwan discovered that no matter how much force she used—even pinning the Giant Village Chief down and beating him to a pulp—he could always regenerate, she decided to try the Blazing Fla Technique.
She wanted to see what would happen if she attacked with Spirit Fire.
The results were encouraging. The Giant Village Chief let out a wretched scream as a raging fire suddenly erupted on his chest.
The surrounding villagers of Wealth Village drew ever closer, their stiff-legged gait carrying them forward as they slowly encircled Song Ciwan.
To be honest, their pace was so slow that if Song Ciwan had wanted to escape, she only needed to abandon her attack on the Giant Village Chief to instantly break free of their encirclent.
But she decided not to dodge or evade. She would take this gamble. ’In a baffling Deceitful Realm like this, finding a way to break free is too difficult. Once I find an opening, I have to press the advantage and see it through to the end!’
With green qi in one hand and Spirit Fire in the other, Song Ciwan set the Giant Village Chief ablaze, and his wretched screams grew more and more incessant.
"AHHH!"
On and on they went.
The flas spread from the Giant Village Chief’s chest up to his head. He raised his tattered, burning hands, suddenly grabbed his own head, and with a sickening CRACK, twisted it clean off his neck!
A headless, flaming torso stood before Song Ciwan, holding its own head in its hands.
The sight was one of truly indescribable horror.
But it wasn’t over. The detached head was still alive. It roared at the sky once more. "Heaven itself deceives , and now this upstart does too! By what right? You entered my Wealth Village, so you are one of my people! Don’t even think about leaving! No one gets away! AHHHH—!"
This protracted roar was different from the last, carrying with it a greater sense of chaos and disorder.
THUD!
The head fell and rolled across the ground.
In that instant, a plu of grayish-black smoke billowed out from the headless neck. Like a giant, probing mouth, it suddenly enveloped the fallen head. GULP, GULP... A terrifying chewing sound echoed.
In the sky above, thunder continued to roll but stubbornly refused to strike.
On the ground, enveloped by the grayish-black smoke, the Giant Village Chief dropped to all fours. As the smoke chewed and ground him down, his limbs began to twist and transform.
His limbs and torso sprouted hairs like steel needles. His hands and feet morphed into cloven hooves. The black smoke spat the head back out, and as it rolled to a stop, it was clear that the human head had beco a pig’s head with massive, protruding tusks!
This all takes ti to describe, but in reality, it happened in the span of a single breath.
In that one instant, the Giant Village Chief had transford from a Human into a boar!
Aside from his larger size, exceptionally long tusks, and a more vicious appearance, he was not so different from the boars the other disaster victims had beco.
Song Ciwan watched the entire transformation unfold, inwardly shaken.
She considered using the Blazing Fla Technique and Giant Power Divine Techniques to continue her assault on the transforming Giant Village Chief, and she also thought of using the wisp of green qi in her hand to suppress him. But the grayish-black smoke pouring from his body scread with extre danger. ’I can’t touch that.’
The Deceitful Realm’s rule, "Qi Eater Divine Being," seed to be on the verge of failing against the transford Giant Village Chief!
The green qi in her hand faded steadily as a terrifying sense of imminent crisis grew within her.
Song Ciwan knew this intermittent premonition of danger was her Divine Power Observation Technique at work.
Although the First Layer of the Insight Technique was "See the Self," cultivating this Divine Technique also invisibly enhanced her ability to perceive danger.
Song Ciwan’s heart suddenly hamred in her chest. In that sa instant, she spun and sidestepped.
A gale powerful enough to tear the very air apart scraped past her side!
It was the Giant Village Chief attacking. Now a boar, his attacks were just like a boar’s.
A boar’s charge, a boar’s arched back, a boar’s roar that ca out in human speech: "Don’t run, you little thief! You entered my Wealth Village! If you won’t feast with my villagers, then you can die!"
Song Ciwan dodged again. As True Qi flowed through her body, a re thought was enough to activate her Grass Flying Lightweight Skill, and she beca as light as a wisp of wind.
The boar’s charge kicked up a fierce gale, and she rode the currents of wind to evade him.
In the sky, the storm seed to still be gathering its strength.
The circle of Wealth Village villagers was tightening, however, giving Song Ciwan less and less room to maneuver.
Her True Qi was being rapidly consud, and she could feel her reserves about to run dry.
Splitting her focus, Song Ciwan continued to operate the Heaven and Earth Scale to make a trade: [You have sold a Village-Level Mysterious Ghost Spirit (Hatred, Hatred, Hatred), two jin and six liang. You have been rewarded with twenty-six years of Cultivation.]
The reward of Cultivation arrived! A long, sustained stream of True Qi surged like a river, instantly refilling Song Ciwan’s nearly depleted Dantian.
Harnessing the power of this new True Qi, Song Ciwan finally unleashed another Magic technique she had been preparing for a long ti: the Void Illusion Demon Sword!
Yes, the Void Illusion Demon Sword.
Song Ciwan had been considering this for a long ti. Ever since she realized she couldn’t kill the Giant Village Chief no matter what she tried, she had been wondering, ’How can I eliminate him completely, so he can’t resurrect again?’
She ran through every technique she knew. ’If even the Blazing Fla Technique won’t work, what will?’ After careful deliberation, Song Ciwan made another bold decision: she would try the Void Illusion Demon Sword!
’Can the Void Illusion Demon Sword even be used on these anomalies?’
’What would be the consequences of a backlash?’
Song Ciwan weighed the risks, but in the end, she still chose this technique.
The technique was not easy to cast. After unleashing the sword, Song Ciwan’s True Qi was once again on the verge of depletion.
An invisible sword shadow pierced through the gray fog’s barrier and, at that very mont, struck the giant boar dead-center!
The Giant Village Chief didn’t dodge. The concept of dodging didn’t even seem to occur to him.
The next mont, his rampaging body froze, and his roars began to die down.
He suddenly threw his head back, his boar-like face turned toward the sky.
What no one could see was that at the very mont the sword struck the Giant Village Chief, an invisible backlash struck Song Ciwan as well!
The Demon Sword was a double-edged blade. Sotis it hard only the enemy, and sotis, it hard the wielder as well.
It all depended on who could overco the Heart Demon.
