Chapter 675: The Battle for Game Meat
The people from the Heavenly Palace were all rendered speechless when they heard what they said. They were astonished by the audacity of their tone for no matter what, these beings from the fourth dimension all possessed high cultivation. Was it not a little bit too much to call them ‘game meat’?
However, they quickly changed their minds. The fact that they called these intruders ‘game meat’ just showed what little importance Dragin and the rest of her group bestowed on them. In fact, even the term ‘game meat’ was too high of a status for them when compared to the expert’s existence.
Qin Manyun and the others’ words had reached the demons’ ears and this caused their faces to turn beet red with anger. The nine-headed python and three-headed canine were their team’s little demon kings or captains, so how could these people be so impetuous as to call them ‘game meat’? They were the ones with the upper hand now and Qin Manyun and the rest of her group did not seem to have a higher level of cultivation than them so there was no way they were going to take this lying down.
“You’ll regret ever uttering those words! Kill them all!” shouted the nine-headed python with a dangerous glint in all of its nine pairs of eyes.
“Leave them to me!” said a middle-aged Black Lion Demon with a ferocious roar, itching to dig its sharp black claws into their flesh. With that, he rushed toward Qin Manyun and the others with a black mace in its paws. Its movement kicked up an endless black windstorm which ripped apart the space as it made its way to Qin Manyun.
“Leave him to me!” said Shi Tuqin as she bravely stepped forward with her dress flapping in the wind. She was emitting a gentle bookish aura that seemed to hold no pressure at all. In her hand, she was holding a calligraphy brush.
“Do you seriously think you can stop me with a mere brush?” said the Black Lion Demon with surprise. It then laughed coldly and clenched its mace even tighter as it continued to make its way toward Shi Tuqin.
Shi Tuqin remained calm in the face of it all. She started to write words in thin air. ‘As soon as the pen fell, even the wind and rain were shocked…’ This simple line caused an upheaval in the laws of the universe as if they had been summoned. They began to swirl around Shi Tuqin as one terrifying vision after another manifested in the air to suppress the Black Lion Demon without warning.
“What is this power? It’s so strong!” cried the Black Lion Demon who was being thrown around wildly in the storm. It could not move an inch at all as its power had been suppressed. The next moment, lightning struck down like a silver dragon on it. “What kind of ultimate spell is this? That brush is too terrifying. How is it possible the words written with that brush can summon such an attack? Ahhh, no—!”
The Black Lion Demon felt that its life was threatened and started to scream out in fear. It raised its mace high and induced all of its mana to form a barrier around it. However, lightning struck down on its mace before it could do that and it was instantly enveloped in a shock of endless lightning that came from all directions.
Its mace was instantly shattered to a million pieces as it was puked white foam. It had been turned back to its original form sans fur. Its fur had been completely singed off its body, giving off a burnt smell as the smoke came off its body.
“Sister Shi Tuqin! You’ll need to go easier on the game meat! We don’t want to bring back burnt meat to the expert now, do we?” said Nanan with panic. She then waved her hand and the black lion flew straight toward her. It was chopped into many pieces in a second.
“We should eat it while it’s still hot. I bet it’ll taste delicious if we add a little cumin to it,” said Nanan, who then proceeded to start a fire and sprinkle some cumin on the black lion. “Who wants thigh meat and who wants breast meat?”
“Goddess Nanan, I want some. Thanks.”
“I want the lion tail! That’s my favorite part!”
“Is it a male lion or female lion? I want its ‘whip’.”
The people from the Heavenly Palace were all putting in their orders with bright shiny eyes. Soon, they were all feasting on the lion meat while fighting off the intruders at the same time.
“Oh wow, this tastes delicious even though it’s a little burnt.”
“Goddess Nanan’s such a good cook!”
“The meat’s a little tough but it still tastes good with a little cumin.”
Looking at the scene before them, the demons from the fourth dimension had all turned black with rage.
“Just what kind of spell did that woman use? Her brush must be a weapon of unimaginable power.”
“Looks like the seventh dimension does have some skilled fighters after all but they’re still no match for us.”
“Ahh! I can’t handle their cockiness. How dare they eat grilled meat in front of us? They shall all pay with their lives!”
“What’s this thing they call cumin? Is it really as delicious as they make it out to be? I want to try some, too!”
The demons were both shocked and angry. They could not believe that the Black Lion Demon had been taken out with a single attack and turned into grilled meat. This was a humiliation they would never recover from.
“That woman’s out of the ordinary. We need to attack her at the same time.” Immediately, six demons murderously rushed toward Shi Tuqin.
At that moment, Shi Tuqin wrote another line. ‘…and the finished poem made the demons and gods cry.’ As soon as the last word was written, the Chaos began to quake wildly as wave after wave of terrifying energy rippled toward the demons. The aura was like a mountain weighing down on the six demons, suffocating them and making them shudder with the majestic power of it all.
“No, this can’t be happening. I feel as if my Dao Heart’s on the verge of having a nervous breakdown.”
“We need to stop her from writing! Her calligraphy enables her to use Wisdom aura as she pleases!”
“We should quickly request for backup!” cried the demons in a state of panic.
The aura of Wisdom was on a whole other level from what they were used to. They could not believe that a Heavenly Realm fighter was able to induce that aura of Wisdom and feared that a shred of her verve was enough to take out a being of the same level as she was.
“Looks like I have greatly underestimated the seventh dimension. Where did this group of people come from? I should let my subordinates find out the depth of their power,” said the Demon Emperor who was calmly watching the battle from the cliff wall in the fourth dimension. Then, his eyes suddenly flashed with remembrance.
“This Heavenly Realm fighter must’ve consumed a heaven-defying thing or was blessed with a heaven-defying opportunity to be able to comprehend a hint of Wisdom aura. I must get my hands on this secret of the seventh dimension! All demons, cross the dimension and kill all of them!”
The group of demons, a mix of both Heavenly Realm fighters and Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals, who were still in the fourth dimension did as they were told and surged toward the portal. The sound of them chanting ‘kill, kill, kill!’ echoed through the galaxy.
“We cannot let Shi Tuqin have all the fun. We need to make a move, too!” said Qin Manyun who was dressed in a long green dress and enveloped in a holy misty light. She was sitting down in a cross-legged position with her dress flapping around her ankles. She quietly scanned her beautiful eyes at the incoming intruders, smiled, and started playing her Guqin.
The graceful music that floated from her Guqin kicked up wave after wave of energy toward the demons while the laws of the universe danced and harmonized with Wisdom. The wave of energy enveloped the demons and they immediately stopped where they were. They started to look around themselves with a lost expression on their faces.
“Who am I?”
“Where am I?”
“What was I doing?”
“The music is so beautiful. I feel as if my soul’s been cleansed of all sins.”
“I remember now! I’m a cow and it’s an honor for me to offer myself as food.”
“The goddess playing the Guqin’s so gorgeous. I was born to be eaten by her.”
The demons all turned back into their original forms and stood dumbstruck mid-air. In a blink of an eye, the scenario had changed to a concert party for the animals.
“Stop! The music’s poisonous. Don’t get too close to it!”
“This is terrifying. This music is evil, I tell ya! It makes one stupid!”
“It’s evil music that can induce the aura of Wisdom!”
The demons were quaking in their boots and were on the verge of pissing their pants. The geniuses of the seventh dimension were truly terrifying.
“Is this what hunting’s like? What fun!” said Little Fox as she watched everything unfold with wide eyes. This was her first time joining an official hunting party and she became excited at all the game meat before her eyes.
Some of the demons had noticed her and discovered she was a Heavenly Realm fighter. “Quick, kill her! She’s an easy target!” said one of them excitedly.
“I’m so scared. Please, don’t kill me!” said Little Fox pitifully with tears in her eyes while lightly patting her own chest. She was also emitting a seductive aura which happened to be the Nine-Tailed Fox’s strongest ultimate spell—Mind Control!
“Shame on us! How can we hurt a beauty like her?”
“You’ll need to walk over my dead body if you want to hurt her!”
“Don’t worry, pretty lady! I’ll protect you.”
“She’s from the demon race, too! I’m so blessed. For her, I can even cut off my relationship with the fourth dimension!”
“Hey there, gorgeous, do you want to eat some game meat? Why don’t you give my delicious meat a try?”
“Bullsh*t! Everyone knows donkey meat’s the best! She should choose me instead!”
All the demons had descended into madness. Some of them with lower cultivation started to fight amongst themselves while some started to cut out their own flesh for grilling in a bid to see who had the best tasting flesh in the universe. As for those with higher cultivation, even they could not resist her charms and did not attack her.
“I can’t believe the seventh dimension has such a high-grade Nine-tailed fox!” The Demon Emperor’s eyes nearly popped out from their sockets. “Hahaha, not bad, not bad at all. This is a nice surprise for me. I’ll make her my empress!”
“Leave her to me,” said a metal-black giant Centipede Demon who had just crawled over. This Centipede Demon was one of the four little demon kings. It enjoyed the same status as the Heavenly Realm nine-headed python. Its combat power was frightfully powerful and currently, it was emitting a cold murderous aura.
The Centipede Demon made its way toward Little Fox while leaving a trail of venom in its wake. Those demons who had been dazzled by Little Fox’s charm were instantly turned into a pool of jelly before they even got near the Centipede Demon.
“Haha, there’s no way I’ll fall for your charms for I’m dead inside. I can’t wait to see that pretty face of you melt under my venom!” Its eyes were blood-red with the thirst for blood.
Suddenly, a shovel fell from above and smashed onto the Centipede Demon’s head with a loud clanging noise. It was instantly rendered catatonic for a moment. When it recovered, it saw a little girl with a shovel in her hand standing in front of it with a disgusted look on her face.
“Die, you ugly bug!” said Nanan as she hit the Centipede Demon with the shovel again.
The Centipede Demon wanted to move away from the attack but found itself to be suppressed by a force. It seemed as if the shovel was the bane of its existence.
‘Ahh! What kind of weapon is this? How is it possible for it to be so powerful?’ he thought as the shovel came down on it again with another loud clang. The force of the impact caused its skull to be smashed in. It became furious and started to spew a cloud of black fog from its mouth. The black fog was so venomous that it could even melt the laws of the universe.
“Toxic World!” The black fog rushed toward Nanan like a tsunami and the venom it contained could melt away a Heavenly Realm fighter.
However, just when the black fog was about to reach Nanan, a vortex appeared out of nowhere and devoured the black fog. The Centipede Demon was dumbfounded and its worldview completely toppled. “Impossible! What kind of devouring power is this that even my venom’s ineffective against it? Does such a terrifying ultimate spell really exist in the universe?”
Nanan raised her shovel angrily and said, “I’ll make your world toxic!”
“Ah! It hurts! No! Have some mercy! The seventh dimension’s too terrifying!”
As for Dragin, her weapon of choice was a ladle that could summon a tsunami with a raise of her hand. The tsunami was unstoppable as it washed over the demons before transforming into a water prison, imprisoning them all inside with no way of getting out.
Dragin was very impressed by her own work. “The meat will stay fresh this way,” she said with a smile.
“Where did they come from? They’re so powerful!”
“Their cultivation’s too bizarre, and not to mention the unpredictability of their treasures!”
“How can a Guqin, a calligraphy brush, a shovel, and a ladle be so terrifyingly powerful? It’s not logical at all.”
“The seventh dimension must possess a huge secret! O’ Demon Emperor, please, save us!”
