“Ahahahahahahaha… It feels so good, so great! Die, you stinky bitch…!”1
The bull hooves descended from the sky with incredible speed. They did not trample madly, but thodically, taking into account any blind spots where the woman might escape, and stomping on the spots where the demonic energy was emanating.
Boom, boom, boom…
The roar of noise continued as dust filled the air. The large trees at the edge of the forest had long since been shattered by the blasts, and gusts of air surged outward.
Yan Fei had already finished regulating his Qi and breathing — or rather, he had finished absorbing Ji Yuan’s spiritual energy — and the influence of the demonic energy had disappeared. However, his expression was stunned, and he couldn’t suppress his shock.
The bull demon’s spiritual energy and aura were obvious to Ji Yuan, but Yan Fei could only see a halo falling from the sky, possessing truly excessive power. The earth shook almost right in front of him, and gales of wind howled, filling the sky with dust. He couldn’t even hear the arrogant laughter in the sky.
All this gave Yan Fei an indescribable shock. His let hand, still gripping the sword, trembled slightly, and his right hand was clutching at his thigh.
‘Martial arts…what use are they in the face of such a demon?’
He looked up again at the imposing figure of the Golden-Armored Warrior nearby, shrouded in a faint glow. In daylight, this light would be invisible to inattentive individuals or those with poor eyesight, but at night, it perfectly revealed the warrior’s form.
“Mr. Ji, are you an immortal?”
Ji Yuan turned to look at Yan Fei, as if sensing the complexity in his heart.
“From ordinary people’s point of view, I suppose so.”
“Moo—” Find the newest release on N0veI.Fiɾe
The fierce moo of a bull bood from the sky, filling Yan Fei’s ears with a buzzing noise. He couldn’t help but cover his ears and use his Qi to withstand it.
Whoosh…
Amidst the trendous sound of sothing breaking through the air, the moonlight revealed a vast shadow tearing through the swirling dust clouds, splitting the debris into crashing waves.
The bull demon, who resembled an ordinary farr, now had a red glow in its eyes, his ferocious face bulging with flesh. It grasped a massive stone boulder, over ten zhang long, and smashed it down from the sky.
The earth energy of the surrounding ground was all flowing, converging towards the impact point as the pillar of stone fell.
Boom…
The mont the first layer of soil touched the sone, it suddenly cracked like a solid slab, then the next mont, the two ends of the “slab” of earth tilted up at both ends, and exploded into pieces.
Boom…
Huge clods of solid earth flew in all directions, several towards where Ji Yuan and Yan Fei were standing.
They were not too far away from where the bull demon had struck, and the thick smoke and dust that filled the air was rapidly approaching. As the stone erupted, Yan Fei had no ti to react. However, Ji Yuan remained motionless, for there was no need for him to act.
The Golden Armored Warrior simply took a step forward to the left and swung his arms a few tis.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The left and right arms and the chest of the Golden-Armored Warrior were all covered in dust as the projectiles exploded, but the warrior did not retreat a single step, and remained calm.
“Are you dead? Are you dead now? The demonic energy is gone…”
The bull demon stood at the spot where the pillar of stone had fallen, his eyes nervously scanning the ground around his feet and his surroundings.
“No need to look for it, you have already shattered it.”
Ji Yuan’s voice sounded. The bull demon was stunned for a mont, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
“Shattered? Dead? Really dead!? Hahaha….hahahahaha…this stinky bitch is finally dead! Hahahaha…uh…”
In the midst of his wild laughter, the bull demon touched the back of his neck, and his laughter stopped abruptly: he could still feel that tuft of hair. He looked at Ji Yuan with wide eyes.
“Why is the hair still…”
Ji Yuan glanced at him without a word. He waved his arms to the left and right, sweeping away the remaining dust and debris, and strode to the collapsed crater where the ground had cracked, followed by the Golden-Armored Warrior and Yan Fei.
Ji Yuan pointed at the rubble in the crater, and the Golden-Armored Warrior stepped forward and moved the debris away one by one, revealing a large mass of brown hair underneath.
There was an indistinct, human-sized pupped wrapped in the hair, which was now in pieces. Even more bizarrely, there was blood seeping out of it continuously.
When the bull demon approached and saw this scene, he was stunned.
“She ran away!?”
“The demon escaped with a strange technique, but she didn’t escape unscathed. she must have been seriously injured by you.”
Ji Yuan frowned and looked at the puppet on the ground. It had obviously been a true demon’s body just now.
This kind of technique was sowhat familiar to Ji Yuan, but it was very different from the thod he rembered. And looking at the miserable sight of the puppet oozing blood, it seed that the other party had paid a high price…
Ji Yuan turned to look at the bull demon.
“Do you know who this woman is?”
“Uh, sir, are you referring to that dead one in the ground,2 or that stinky bitch?”
“What do you think?”
The bull demon scratched his head and said:
“I have no idea where this bitch ca from. I only know that she’s incredibly evil. This Old Bull was careless and fell victim to her. She broke my self-enlightened demonic body, severely damaged my cultivation, and nearly finished off!”
The bull demon still had lingering fears when he said these words. He had obviously been in real danger.
“A mont of carelessness? She must have been possessed by a lustful spirit!”
Ji Yuan teased. He had only known the Bull Spirit for a short period of ti, but he could already see through his hobbies.
“Uh… I, I am not… Everyone has their own hobbies!”
At this ti, in a small cave a few mountains away, the ground suddenly lit up in an array of light, and a pale woman erged, her aura extrely unstable.
“Haaah… haah… haah…”
‘Thank goodness I was more careful. I have to thank that old cow. Without him, Ji Yuan might have caught in monts, and I wouldn’t have been able to escape…’
As far as she knew, Ji Yuan’s words could be used to summon the Tao, allowing him to perform spirit-binding techniques at will. If he could see though her soul-replacing technique, with his unfathomable skills, he might be able to extract her spirit and forcibly imprison it within the wooden puppet. Even if her body escaped, it would be nothing more than a walking corpse.
Furthermore, Ji Yuan probably possessed an even more extraordinary technique, one that required no restrictions, restraints, barriers, curses, or physical contact, yet could immobilize a person’s body and spirit. That would be even more dangerous.3
“Haah… What a close call! I didn’t expect to run into Ji Yuan. I can’t stay here any longer!”
After the woman cald herself down, she imdiately set up a faint demonic wind to blow through the cave. She flew out and headed east.
. . .
Still at the grounds of their previous battle, Yan Fei stood beside Ji Yuan, looking at this man who looked like a simple farr in fear. He wondered to himself whether this was a human or a monster, but fortunately, this being seed very familiar with Mr. Ji.
“Mr. Ji, this stinky bitch didn’t even dare to move when she saw you. Do you know her?”
The bull demon asked in a very familiar manner.
“She should have sothing to do with a certain vixen. She’s not that simple!”
After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he collected a strand of hair from the ground, opened his mouth, and spit out a breath of reddish-gray air, which swept over the corpse. The brown hairs lit up with sparks, and in monts, they had turned to ash alongside the wooden puppet.
After he had finished, Ji Yuan looked at the bull demon again.
“You know too?”
The bull demon smiled and shook his head.
“Haha, this Old Bull has never even heard of your na, Sir, but since this stinky bitch was so afraid of you, you must be a powerful immortal cultivator, right? I beg you, help , Master, she wouldn’t even dare to fight back. It would be so satisfying!”
This answer left Ji Yuan stunned for a mont. It seed that this bull demon, though seemingly innocent, was actually quite cunning.
“By the way, Immortal, can you help get rid of the hair on the back of my neck? Without it, my body and spiritual energy will recover, and that stinky bitch would be no match for .”
The bull demon rubbed his hands together, and begged in a negotiating tone.
“Just call Mr. Ji as before. I can try, but I cannot guarantee that it will work.”
“Then what are you waiting for? What do you want to do?”
The old bull seed impatient. The evil hair had taken root in the nape of his neck, and was impossible to eradicate. If it weren’t for his considerable cultivation, it would have long since infiltrated his spiritual core. Even now, it was constantly draining his spiritual energy and vitality, hindering his recovery. It was truly insidious.
Ji Yuan looked at him and said:
“Dissipate your protective demonic aura, lower your head, and expose the back of your neck.”
The old bull hesitated, not daring to agree. It sounded like he was stretching his head out for execution, particularly after he had clearly seen Ji Yuan carrying a sword. That stinky woman had called it the “Green Vine Immortal Sword.”
Ji Yuan smiled.
“You are a demon, and I am an immortal cultivator. It is natural for you not to accept being defenseless against . I can also tell you that the thod I want to try is that breath I used just now.”
The reddish-gray aura had just reduced the brown hair and woman’s corpse to ash. The bull demon had seen it all, but before he could ask, Ji Yuan explained.
“I possess a True Fire technique called the True Fire of Samadhi. That aura is simply the energy of a True Fire. If I were to take advantage and catch you off guard, I could deliver a burst of True Fire…”
At this point, Ji Yuan opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of reddish-gray aura. Like a gentle breeze, it swept beneath a rock a little further away. There lay the two intact corpse puppets, pinned down by the fallen boulder.
Wherever the breath passed, the corpse puppets turned to to ash. It then swept over the other couple of headless corpses nearby, turning them to ash as well.
“Uh, hahaha… forget it, forget it, this hair has been growing for so long, its presence has beco sentintal, hahaha…”
The bull demon was a little scared. Although he hadn’t seen Mr. Ji take action, he knew from that woman’s reaction earlier that he was not soone to be trifled with.
婆娘 (póniáng): derogatory slur for woman i.e. the one the bull was carrying on his shoulders T/n: reminder that he doesn’t exactly have this. He just dupes everyone into thinking he does by writing Edicts using ridiculous stuff like water and air. Which, I an, frankly, close enough
