However, his magnificent and imposing aura still wavered slightly, as he discovered with horror that Mo Qi had stood up again, his mouth moving as if he were eating something.
No rush, no panic. At most, it would take one more attempt. There were always some particularly stubborn cockroaches; an extra stomp would solve the problem.
Thinking this, he aimed his steel fork at Mo Qi and thrust it forward.
At this moment, Linghu Xiaoxian struggled but still couldn't get up.
Yet, seeing Linghu Zhong stand, she weakly shouted, "Father, help him."
Linghu Zhong shook his head. "Helping him would be sending me to my death. This Bull Demon is already at the Demon Emperor level. If he were human, he would likely be infinitely close to the Heavenly Immortal cultivation. I definitely cannot deal with him, unless my master himself were here."
Hong Jianxin, who had awakened at some unknown time, cried out in his heart, "Stab him to death, stab him to death!"
The icy steel fork aimed at his own heart. Mo Qi's eyes held a touch of tragic grandeur.
His lips twitched, and a Xuanyuan Sword appeared in his hand.
The sword emitted a golden radiance, like a wisp of residual sunset in the evening sky.
What is that?
The Bull Demon scoffed. I don't care what you're holding; I'll fork and smash both you and your treasure.
Thus, the steel fork continued to surge towards Mo Qi like a tidal wave.
Mo Qi held the sword in his palm.
A golden light erupted, flashing and disappearing in an instant.
The Bull Demon was greatly alarmed. He had been careless!
His body was now completely exposed, with nowhere to hide. He could only brace himself and meet the steel fork head-on.
With a deafening roar, the Bull Demon, holding his steel fork, was pushed back several zhang, leaving a long trench on the ground.
Mo Qi, however, stood firm, unmoved.
The Bull Demon stared blankly at the deep trench before him and Mo Qi opposite him.
What happened?
What kind of sorcery was that?
How had he never seen such heaven-defying sorcery?
Challenging across levels was already a one-in-ten-thousand chance. This was almost challenging across two levels, which was utterly heaven-defying!
Furthermore, the leap from Tribulation Crossing to Human Immortal wasn't just crossing a level; it was crossing species!
What had this monstrous anomaly gone through?
Linghu Xiaoxian was also incredulous. Although she realized Mo Qi's sorcery was extraordinary, challenging across two levels without falling behind – was this person a monster?
She couldn't help but wonder if he was wearing a mask.
If he removed this mask, what would his true cultivation level be?
"Is he really at the Tribulation Crossing stage?" Linghu Xiaoxian couldn't help but ask Linghu Zhong.
"I wish I knew," Linghu Zhong replied with a pained expression.
While the Bull Demon was lost in thought, Mo Qi attacked without delay, unleashing a wave of overwhelming force.
Golden lights were continuously unleashed.
The Bull Demon could not think of a better countermeasure and could only continue to hold his steel fork overhead, using all his spiritual energy to meet the onslaught.
Even so, his body was constantly pushed back, the deep trench on the ground extending further behind him.
Within the Bull Demon, his blood and qi churned, and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
As he resisted, the Bull Demon's anger continued to rise.
If a tiger doesn't show its fangs, you think it's a sick cat?
At a certain moment, he let out a hysterical roar, his body rapidly expanding. His clothes tore with a ripping sound, scattering into pieces in the air.
Simultaneously, his body had swelled to three times its original size. Mo Qi, in front of him, was like an ant. It seemed that with a single step, he could crush Mo Qi into a pulp.
During the expansion, his body was covered in a thick layer of blackness. Grating sounds, like metal clashing, continuously echoed as his body hardened.
From his appearance, his body seemed to have demonized, though it was said he was a demon by nature!
It wasn't over yet!
His head and neck drooped, his forelimbs touched the ground, and his mouth protruded, transforming him into a true bull.
However, ordinary bulls have curved horns, while his two horns extended straight forward, like two sharp swords, gleaming with a chilling light, pointed directly at Mo Qi.
Even from a distance, Mo Qi could feel the spiritual energy emanating from the bull horns.
The Bull Demon roared, stomped his hind legs, and charged at Mo Qi like a moving mountain, with two gleaming swords at its front.
Mo Qi's expression remained unchanged. He still held the Xuanyuan Sword in his palm.
"Pangu Divine Power!"
Another golden light roared towards the Bull Demon.
It was still sharp, still blazing.
But the Bull Demon shook his head, used his horns to block, and shattered the divine light.
Without any pause, the Bull Demon lowered his head and continued to charge at Mo Qi.
He was determined to pierce Mo Qi through the heart first, then smash him into a meat patty.
And then skin him and dismember him!
If he's already a meat paste, it'll be hard to skin and dismember him.
Never mind, I'll do it no matter how difficult, if I don't skin him and dismember him, I won't be able to quell my hatred!
A Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, why are you so tenacious?
Why have you lived so stubbornly for so long?
You should accept your fate and respect your opponent!
I am equivalent to a Heavenly Immortal in cultivation. What's wrong with you lying down and waiting for death?
Who would say anything about you?
Isn't that your duty?
What can your resistance and struggle change?
Am I not tired from exerting myself so much, from being so hysterical?
Don't I have any pride?
Don't I have any dignity?
Die! All the dignity and pride lost will be reclaimed later.
Reclaimed from his corpse.
Right, he's getting closer and closer.
He seems powerless to respond. He seems at a loss.
He seems to be in a state of great shock!
That's right, this is the state he should be in!
This is the reaction he should have!
This kind of reaction makes my blood boil and fills me with passion.
This reaction nourishes the satisfaction that has been dormant in my heart for a long time! It ignites the bloodthirsty nature hidden deep within my body and mind.
This is a long-lost feeling!
This is a feeling that makes one unable to stop!
The Bull Demon felt a surge of ecstasy, as if he already saw two holes in the opponent's chest, still gushing with blood.
He charged forward even more recklessly.
I'll charge!
However, it was empty. He missed and charged forward a great distance before stopping, grinding another deep groove in the ground.
He twisted his body, searching everywhere for Mo Qi's shadow, but he was nowhere to be found.
This made him feel fear.
This shouldn't be!
How could I feel fear?
How could I be afraid?
I can completely crush him!
I can completely kill him in an instant!
What is going on?
This damned sense of fear!
This damned Tribulation Crossing stage!
At this moment, a sense of instinctive crisis came from above!
It was as if a terrifying power was born from beyond the heavens, then traversed all the way, breaking through the void, and growing stronger and stronger, constantly expanding.
A scorching power came from afar. Looking up, there was nothing, but the scorching power grew increasingly intense, making one increasingly nervous.
Linghu Xiaoxian, Linghu Zhong, and the others were also bewildered. What had happened?
Mo Qi was just in front of them, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone?
Everyone also felt a potential threat descending from the sky and quickly fled to a distance.
Seeing Linghu Xiaoxian moving slowly, Linghu Zhong stepped forward, picked her up, and fled into the distance.
The Bull Demon mobilized all his spiritual energy and continued to look up.
He felt he had to overcome that damned sense of fear.
He had to face the threat head-on!
The opponent was merely a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator. If he fled like this, how could he show his face in the future? How would he have the right to show off outside?
At the very least, he couldn't lose face in front of his subordinates, who were still looking at him with admiration and eagerly expecting him to display his might.
In reality, those subordinates had already fled a great distance.
He just hadn't looked. His gaze was fixed on the sky above.
At this moment, a crimson halo appeared above, and the scorching temperature intensified.
With the Bull Demon's cultivation, he could see a figure above.
So, he let out an angry roar and violently flew up, charging fiercely at the figure above.
The crimson halo grew larger and larger. In an instant, the entire sky was enveloped in crimson. Flames raged as if a fire city in the sky had collapsed.
Before the flames could descend, endless spiritual energy had already gathered its strength and pressed down.
The Bull Demon charged for a while, but the fierce, wave-like surge tossed him about, making him spin in mid-air. It was incredibly difficult to move even an inch upwards, and his body was being squeezed and deformed.
In the distance, Linghu Xiaoxian stood beside Linghu Zhong and asked him with a puzzled expression, "What kind of divine ability is this? It seems very powerful."
Linghu Zhong shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure. Could it be the legendary Sun-Chasing Star-Plucking Art?"
Linghu Xiaoxian pouted. "Why does he know everything?"
Linghu Zhong shook his head. "Alas, he's difficult to deal with."
Linghu Xiaoxian rolled her eyes at him. "Why are you still thinking of dealing with him? Haven't you considered that he could be used by us?"
Linghu Zhong suddenly looked into the distance. "Do you think this move of his can deal with the Bull Demon?"
Linghu Xiaoxian said hesitantly, "Let's hope so!"
At this moment, the crimson mass continued to churn, and the massive flames converged from the edges towards the center.
In an instant, a thick mass of flames, like a red cloud, covered the entire sky.
Simultaneously, the mass of flames poured down, like a fireball launched from the heavenly realm, descending for thousands of miles.
It was like the setting of the Milky Way, unstoppable, and the entire world below would welcome desolation.
The Bull Demon spun a few times in the vortex, his head spinning.
However, he finally recognized reality!
He finally realized that he was powerless to resist this divine ability of the opponent.
He could also basically accept the fact that he had been defeated by a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator!
He had been slapped in the face!
But at least his life was still intact!
The priority now was to save his own life!
What about dignity and pride, he would put them aside for now.
