Chapter 145: Cliff Explosion

"Bastard!"

The Old Master flew into a rage; at the last moment, Lin Zijin committed suicide, his soul drifted away, and the Yin Soldiers in the Muddy River, still suppressed by Fifth Aunt, could not immediately rush out to seize the soul back.

The most nourishing bite, the Great Old Master did not get to eat!

The Muddy River bubbled and gurgled, finally melting all the Ghost Silk Curtains.

Boom, boom, boom...

The hundred-zhang Black Cliff moved again, drawing closer to the "Dinghe Divine Needle"; the Old Master was confident: with just one collision, this Shi Zhu would surely be broken.

Fifth Aunt clearly no longer had the ability to write a calligraphy piece of this level again.

The Old Master suddenly saw a rather large object on the "River Embankment" being tossed down lightly.

The Old Master didn't care much; whatever it was, once it fell into the river, he would melt it.

Although Lin Zijin's laws were broken, he was at least a Foundation of the Six-Flow Law Cultivator; wasn't he also melted by this Old Master!

But that object, as it fell, floated lightly on the water's surface!

The Old Master discovered that his Black-Yellow Muddy River could not melt it!

This Black-Yellow Mud had a great origin! It was formed by the Old Master mixing a ladle of Naihe River Water, which he had stolen at great cost, with the yellow mud from the corpse-nurturing ground beneath his grave.

Theoretically, everything in the Yang World, once it falls into it, will sink and dissolve.

The Old Master looked closely... and saw a ten-zhang-tall "Xu Yuan"!

And the real Xu Yuan leaped from the River Embankment, landing on the ten sheets of human skin; he spat the Fire from his belly backward, propelling this "Human Skin Raft" to rush rapidly toward the hundred-zhang Black Cliff.

The Old Master frowned, recalling a saying he had heard below when he stole the Naihe River Water back then: "Human skin as a raft can cross the Yellow Springs!"

The Old Master snorted coldly; even if he could not melt him in a moment or two, what could the boy do?

That brat's sharpness was nothing more than that Sword Pill.

But he was not at all afraid of the Sword Pill now.

Even if you stood here and struck him a hundred times with swords, it would only be a superficial wound.

The Old Master ignored Xu Yuan and propelled the hundred-zhang Black Cliff to continue crashing toward the Shi Zhu—destroying this calligraphy piece first was urgent.

Xu Yuan spat fire backward; the Human Skin Raft moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was twenty paces away from the hundred-zhang Black Cliff.

Arriving here, Xu Yuan activated the Sword Pill, which shot toward the hundred-zhang Black Cliff with a "whoosh."

The short sword pierced the Black Cliff with a "chink"—it got stuck in the cliff, penetrating only halfway.

If standing on the River Embankment, at such a distance, Xu Yuan could only retrieve the Sword Pill, powerless to take any other action.

But with the distance closed, Xu Yuan could manipulate the short sword, making it spin rapidly and continue drilling into the Black Cliff.

The Old Master flew into a rage; a mere clown, and when this Old Master didn't want to pay attention to him, he dared to push his luck!

The Black Cliff suddenly became hard, jamming the Sword Pill.

Xu Yuan waved his hand backward, and the Sword Pill retreated with a "whoosh."

It circled a large loop in the air, its speed increasing even more; the Old Master's face was on one side of the Black Cliff, making it hard to see clearly elsewhere, and he was rolling his eyes, trying to find where that small sword had flown...

The Sword Pill suddenly shot like lightning to the Old Master's front; before the Old Master could react, it "whooshed" right into his nostril!

The Old Master's anger rose to the heavens; this was truly pushing his luck!

The Sword Pill drilled into the nostril and continued stabbing inward.

It drilled several zhang deep before being jammed by the Black Cliff again.

But Xu Yuan felt it was enough.

The Old Master's face twisted, whether from rage or because his nostril itched; he gritted his teeth and roared: "You little thing truly makes this Old Master loathe you; once I catch you, I will surely chew you into fine pieces and eat you..."

Boom!

The hundred-zhang Black Cliff suddenly exploded!

The face the Old Master was roaring with was right at the center of the explosion.

The entire face instantly cracked and shattered, turning into millions of fragments that shot outward.

The hundred-zhang Black Cliff shook violently, blasted open into a rock fissure from the middle!

Xu Yuan leaped from the ten-zhang human skin; a wheel appeared beneath his feet, the Belly Fire was activated, and it spun "whoosh-whoosh," moving unimpeded across the mud surface!

The ten sheets of human skin flipped over, stepped on the mud, and rushed onto the hundred-zhang Black Cliff.

Fist after fist smashed onto the rock fissure.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

On the hundred-zhang Black Cliff, vast patches of dark rock crumbled; the Old Master struggled to reform his face on the Black Cliff, but wherever the face appeared, the ten-zhang human skin would pounce and smash that patch of rock with a punch.

The ten-zhang human skin was fierce, but Xu Yuan discovered that the wounds on the human skin were growing larger and larger.

After the last battle, the human skin already bore many scars.

This thing was not a living creature after all and could not heal itself automatically.

Continuous smashing would also tear it apart.

But at this moment, Xu Yuan absolutely could not let the human skin stop; he had to gamble on who could last until the end.

Xu Yuan shouted loudly: "Fifth Aunt!"

Fifth Aunt remained unmoved; Song Lu coquettishly called out: "Fifth Aunt—"

Fifth Aunt looked at Little Lu Hua helplessly: "This is the thing that keeps your Fifth Aunt alive."

Song Lu looked at her pitifully; Fifth Aunt smiled bitterly: "Very well, very well!"

She took out a sheet of Xuan paper again.

This paper was extremely large; in the center position, a tiger seal about a zhang long was stamped in red cinnabar.

This was imprinted from the Tiger-Head Guillotine at noon, using the fresh blood of a Sixth-Rank Wu Xiu mixed with cinnabar!

Fifth Aunt grabbed a large brush, soaked it fully in cinnabar, and wrote on the paper:

Tiger-Head Guillotine!

As soon as the calligraphy was formed, it whooshed into the air, flew up, and burned itself clean without fire above the hundred-zhang black cliff; then, a phantom image of the Tiger-Head Guillotine appeared!

Crack!

The guillotine blade opened and slammed down onto the hundred-zhang black cliff with a clack!

The hundred-zhang black cliff, struck by this blow, shattered once more.

First blasted, then guillotined, the hundred-zhang black cliff had begun to collapse entirely and could no longer be held together!

But without Xu Yuan's prior internal explosion, the Tiger-Head Guillotine strike alone might not have been enough to cleave the black cliff.

"Thank you, Fifth Aunt!" Xu Yuan cheered loudly, his spirits high.

One "River Embankment" and one "Dinghe Divine Needle" calligraphy; if you say Fifth Aunt did her utmost, Xu Yuan believes it.

If you say Fifth Aunt has no other means left, Xu Yuan does not believe it.

Xu Yuan urged the Fire Wheel forward, blasting a mouthful of Belly Fire straight into the largest stone crack.

The Belly Fire spread along the stone cracks.

At the same time, two pills were hidden within the Belly Fire: the Skin Pill and the Sinew Pill.

This method had already been used against the evil spirit of Fu Dong Tianwang.

The ten-zhang human skin was still punching and blasting the black cliff with fist after fist; the stone cracks multiplied, and the Belly Fire spread into every single crack.

"Found it!" Xu Yuan rejoiced in his heart, urging the Skin Pill to wrap around it.

The Yin-Yang Cage was deeply hidden within the black cliff.

The Skin Pill wrapped the Yin-Yang Cage, while the Sinew Pill bound the Skin Pill.

Xu Yuan directly flung the beast-sinew rope to the ten-zhang human skin.

I certainly can't pull it out by myself; I am not a Seventh-Rank Wu Xiu.

The ten-zhang human skin grabbed the beast-sinew rope and pulled with all its might...

Splash...

The black cliff shattered, and the Yin-Yang Cage was dragged straight out.

Xu Yuan urged the Fire Wheel and, together with the ten-zhang human skin, rushed swiftly toward the "River Embankment."

Countless huge boulders rolled down from the black cliff, crashing with a boom into the black-yellow mud river; on every single boulder, the Old Master's face appeared!

Hundreds of grotesque faces, looking half-human and half-snake, roared ferociously at once, spitting forked snake tongues: "You all deserve to die—"
