Chapter 81: with translation of chapter title

It fell silent for almost three seconds!

The pooled water behind the ox demon and the floating raindrops exploded into white waves, as if two immensely violent streams of qi and blood collided at high speed, bursting forth with scorching heat.

Hiss...

Time felt as if it were being infinitely stretched at this moment.

The Yang family elder, a Divine Foundation cultivator, a horrifying flesh‑like mountain, now… his previously berserk will faintly showed signs of waking.

Why…

Not a Divine Foundation cultivator, yet able to withstand his punch?

But quickly, the raging Heart‑Shock‑Strong divinity sprouted tendrils from the floating divinity grindstone behind him, viciously stabbing into Yang Jing's flesh‑mountain body.

"Ugh… ahhhhh… Ox demon!"

"Really surprising!"

"Die!"

A shrill scream of shock instantly formed an incredibly terrifying sonic blast.

Li Ye felt his eardrums about to be ripped apart.

Yet his face beneath the mask betrayed neither joy nor sorrow, utterly devoid of emotion.

Profound Meridian…

This Yang family elder's martial cultivation…

It's nothing more than the Profound Meridian!

Boom—

A muffled bang!

Upon Yang Jing's flesh‑mountain, countless translucent divinities, like an octopus's soft tentacles, coiled around his fleshly body.

The force of his punch grew ever heavier.

Li Ye let out a booming hum, like a balloon suddenly inflating, and his already sturdy, massive frame suddenly bulged another notch.

Diamond Body, Second Transformation!

The qi and blood power spreading through his tendons and bones suddenly swelled his inner energy, tempering his flesh to near perfection.

His lower abdomen, chest, and spine bulged high, his skin turned blood‑red, and his tendons and bones quivered like an earth dragon rolling and writhing.

His arms grew thick, muscles twisted like braids, and the muscles stacked along his back resembled two pairs of wings.

Like a flood dragon sprouting wings!

Profound Meridian…

You are.

Me too!

The ox demon roared, its terrifying inner qi surging forth, forming a mighty force capable of shaking mountains, vibrating the air into ripple‑like shockwaves that shattered countless raindrops and snowflakes.

Boom—

The flesh‑mountain was flung up, tumbled nimbly, and fell to the ground.

Li Ye, whose body had grown another notch, felt an unprecedented exhilaration as his fan‑like hands suddenly clenched into fists.

The Dragon‑Elephant Diamond Fruit dao‑fruit can increase maturity through combat…

The more exhilarating and all‑out the battle, the greater the increase.

At this moment, Li Ye felt his condition better than ever before.

He could even sense the strange feeling of his maturity skyrocketing.

Yang Jing, who had been flung up, was not startled; at this moment he had completely lost consciousness, leaving only a single thought: to massacre the ox demon and hear…

…the terrified scream of one facing death!

Li Ye blazingly stared at that massive flesh‑mountain.

Feeling the rank suppression brought by the Divine Foundation divinity, the three divine essences in his Niwan inner realm were as if frozen by a winter river, unable to flow at all.

"Is this rank suppression?"

Li Ye whispered softly.

Divine Foundation… absolutely suppresses nurturing nature on the rank level!

Sensing the massive divinity of the Divine Foundation wheel floating behind him… it is at least ten times greater than the nurturing nature of a river deity!

The quantity is tenfold, and the quality is even higher!

It is essentially another level!

However, Li Ye slightly sensed that the Immaculate Mind divinity felt nothing.

Moreover, the divinity of the Three‑Eye Fury True Lord Spirit Child Temple God within the Chess Sage dao‑fruit is utterly unaffected…

It seems… there's promise.

The flesh‑mountain Yang Jing also seemed to realize that this ox demon, in martial prowess, is actually on the same level as this Divine Foundation cultivator.

But that's all.

His scarlet eyes suddenly widened; clenching his five fingers, an invisible divinity howled forth, condensing the falling rain and snow from the sky into a crescent‑shaped blade.

Spinning at high speed, it slashed the ox demon with a thunderous blow!

The ox demon's sturdy body shot up, its feet tapping, blurring and twisting as it dodged left and right.

The blue‑stone slabs of the long street instantly exploded, shards flying like bullets in all directions.

Li Ye's gaze turned cold, his heart gave a slight jolt.

The fused Divine Foundation divinity long‑range attack…

The power is very strong—ah, it even surpasses the strength of a single shot of his 'Namo Gatling Wooden Ferry Crow'!

Li Che suddenly accelerated beneath his feet, kicked hard, and the rainwater

And his whole person swiftly shot backward!

You want to escape?!

"Niu Mo!"

The azure‑haired Yang Jing roared, his bloated mountain‑like body actually pursued with incredible agility, those thick legs like elephant pillars tapped down in quick rhythm, kicking up water‑like splashes, his bulky arms suddenly spread……

Cloud Hawk Treading Clouds!

The Yang family's Divine Martial Arts!

Li Che glanced back, spread his arms, and likewise performed the Cloud Hawk Treading Clouds with proper form!

Under the boost of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, Li Che's martial dao comprehension was extremely high.

Divine martial arts, are still martial arts...

He could already execute it, although he couldn't channel divinity, but the pure martial arts were already at the entry level!

"Ahhh! Niu Mo!"

Yang Jing saw Niu Mo display his family's Divine Martial Arts, his heart clenched, as if his most precious thing had been insulted, and thinking of the Yang family experts slaughtered, he became increasingly frenzied and furious!

And Li Che... wanted exactly this!

Against a Divine Foundation cultivator, how could he go unprepared and just charge in?

Originally dashing and running, Li Che's eyes beneath the mask suddenly flashed; he stomped hard, braked sharply, his body bent, an arm slapped the ground, and in an instant he drifted sideways like a tail‑sweep, arcing and shooting into the pitch‑black alley beside the main street.

Yang Jing, lost in his frenzied will, completely ignored this.

He also followed, crashing into the alley.

Upon entering the alley, Yang Jing's frenzy showed no diminution; the terrifying Divine Foundation divine aura erupted explosively!

Niu Mo stood at the alley's end, sensing the Divine Foundation cultivator's storm‑like rank pressure; beneath his bull calf mask, his eyes showed no emotional fluctuation.

His arms shot up, fingers spread, as if playing a supreme tone, vibrating in succession; in the next instant, his fingers hooked and he jerked sharply!

In that instant……

The entire alley filled with countless silver threads shooting out; at high speed they trembled, bursting raindrops into a fine mist!

Like a hunter's spider web spread!

Sharp as a blade!

Thousand Spider Silk!

The fully tensed Thousand Spider Silk net cut into the flesh of the mountain‑like Yang Jing!

Creak creak……

Emitting a piercing metallic cutting sound!

At the same time.

Li Che pressed his sword fingers together and slashed through the void.

One after another, poisoned mechanism "Guanyin Blood Lotus" were flicked out by his consecutive finger snaps, exploding in midair; endless poisoned cow‑hair fine needles rained down like rain, scattering onto the mountain‑like body!

Having set the trap, thrown the poison needles, tossed the hidden weapons……

Niu Mo clenched his five fingers, pulling from the Qiankun space the "Namu Gatlin Wood Passage Crow"; then six thousand Wood Passage Crows manifested simultaneously, a thousand crows hovering!

Aimed at the Yang family's Divine Foundation old‑timer.

Playing with mechanisms, Niu Mo is a professional!

Immortal Craft Mechanic Master!

"Welcome, to my home turf."

……

……

Rainwater mixed with icy snowflakes.

Drifting down.

The bustle of the long street fell into silence; white waves crashed, striking the pairs of black leather boots, shattering them.

"What a Niu Mo, his external training is unmatched, actually reaching the Xuan Meridian level within the Meridian Passage; as everyone knows, divinity is easy to nurture, but qi and blood are hard to forge—yet he managed to penetrate the Xuan Meridian in a short time, truly worthy of being called a martial arts genius!"

Cao Qingyuan wore a knife at his waist, watching the Niu Mo battling the Yang family elder Yang Jing; although Yang Jing was trapped in the Divine Foundation‑controlled will, fallen into frenzy, his Divine Foundation cultivation was nonetheless genuine.

The rank suppression was equally genuine.

Niu Mo wasn't instantly killed, and could still resist……

"But he can't resist for long; Divine Foundation kills nurturing nature—even if his martial cultivation is also at the Xuan Meridian, it's just a matter of a few extra moves."

Behind Cao Qingyuan followed the sole remaining divine constable, Zhang Xiangyang.

At this moment, Zhang Xiangyang wore a bamboo hat, lowered his head, his complexion shifting, his heart still trembling.

This Niu Mo…… is too terrifying.

Fortunately, back then he didn't turn back to join Zhou Ruoguan in thinking of a counterkill; otherwise…… his corpse would already be cold.

"Young City Lord, what should we do now……"

Cao Qingyuan smiled, not looking at the Niu Mo and Yang Jing chasing and fighting away.

"We…… go to Li Che's residence."

"Li Che is Niu Mo…… after all, just my guess."

"Three years, three years from a mud‑legged nobody, growing into this wicked great demon Niu Mo—I simply can't believe it……"

Cao Qingyuan shook his head.

If it were true, how would he balance his feelings…… likely he'd go mad with jealousy!

"At this moment, Niu Mo battling the Divine Foundation cultivator…… will surely be unable to escape, and may even be beaten to death."

Therefore, to go to the Li family residence, I will use the pretext of having originally asked Li Che to carve a wooden sculpture, to take a look at that Li Che, to see whether he exists...

If he is not there...

When mystery is no longer mysterious.

Cao Qingyuan froze, and in the next moment he couldn't help but burst into manic laughter.

I will...

See the truth.
