Chapter 4086 - 1936: Moving the Pieces
Chapter 4086: Chapter 1936: Moving the Pieces
Kui Leihan was very tall and his build was robust.
If Cao Erzhu could be considered a little giant, then he indeed deserved to be called the father of giants.
When comparing height and weight with Shen Yifang, it was genuinely hard to distinguish who was superior. At a glance, those unaware would simply think they were two practitioners of ancient martial arts.
Naturally, in the face of such a sturdy physique, the elder’s skinny and headless body merely reached his waist and was too weak to grasp, much like a little chick.
A slap to the head delivered an even more visually shocking effect.
Though it lacked the wondrous nature of Qiu Xuan’s realm of dreams or the spectacular sword bones of the world, the face-to-face brawl certainly displayed a raw form of unrestrained ferocity.
Especially since most people had already recognized that the elder was very likely the Medicine Ancestor.
"Wonderful, it’s the Ancestor of Thought!"
"With the Eight Ancestors gone, the return of the Ancestor of Thought means we are saved."
"But what in the world is the elder trying to do? Has he never heard of Kui Leihan’s legend? Even if one mastered the Life Upanishad, it would at best grant healing abilities. Why would he dare charge forward?"
In truth, most people understood that the Medicine Ancestor would not simply die so easily.
After all, among the previous foreign Three Ancestors, the role of the Medicine Ancestor was not the image of an elder, but of a human-faced ancient japonicum.
When Sword Deity Hua became an ancestor, Bei Huai and the ancient japonicum briefly made an appearance but retreated afterward as the Eight Ancestors rose.
At best, what Kui Leihan shattered was merely an avatar.
And to the Medicine Ancestor, who mastered the Life Path, such things as avatars seemed readily disposable.
"Chi Chi..."
The headless corpse in his hand began twitching again as the paralyzing effect of the God Punishment Tribulation waned.
Kui Leihan, of course, understood the principle of endless life.
But similarly, just as the Medicine Ancestor pressed his face against Kui Leihan to test his ability, he also wanted to see how bizarre the Life Path could become.
By tracing the life’s essence from this corpse, there was a possibility, through the God Punishment Tribulation’s mark, to glimpse the Medicine Ancestor’s hidden hands.
If possible, letting the Medicine Ancestor gain some advantage would be of no concern.
"Chi Chi!"
The sound of growing flesh was even more jarring, and the scene became slightly eerie.
The flesh from the headless corpse squeezed through Kui Leihan’s fingers, rapidly climbing upward, and condensed into a lump like a fruit or a head.
Kui Leihan did not let go.
The flesh seemed unwilling to let Kui Leihan release it.
After the lump formed, sharp roots grew inside, appearing to pierce Kui Leihan’s flesh, connecting his hand with the elder’s body as if they were growing together.
"Truly nauseating!"
Kui Leihan frowned; this meager amount of vital life force could not penetrate his possession-type Penetrating Divine Senses.
With a shudder of his hand, the possession-type transformed into a release type, and with a bang, the fleshy head of the elder shattered into pieces.
The God Punishment Tribulation, retractable at will.
Flowing back into the palm, Kui Leihan struck down with a slap, with a snap, the headless body of the elder had all vitality severed.
A rich floral fragrance exploded like hoarfrost, covering several streets, and along with it, a black scythe flew away.
"Master Cao, seize the scythe of the God of Death."
A voice sounded in his ear just as Kui Leihan was about to act. Unexpectedly, within the mist of life, tiny particles had developed spiritual quality.
Blood flesh particles desperately drilled toward his mouth, nose, and pores, resembling moths to a flame, unnaturally terrifying.
Having anticipated this, Kui Leihan immediately reinforced the concentration of his possession-type Penetrating Divine Senses, forming a membrane around his body, blocking the invasion of life particles.
But with this momentary delay, before the release type Divine Senses could shoot out, those blood particles had already assembled into small figures the size of a fingernail, carrying the scythe of the God of Death, running south, screaming:
"Run fast, run fast!"
"This upright ape is terrifying, quickly flee from the place of trouble!"
"Ah, don’t kill me—"
Setting aside the oddity, the little things were rather adorable.
A rumble of thunder exploded over Fusang City, and Kui Leihan’s tiger eyes glared, with purple lightning pulsating within them.
In the snap of a finger, those cute little figures who had carried the scythe and managed to run ten miles were instantly crushed by the oppression-type Penetrating Divine Senses from afar.
Bang!
The scythe of the God of Death fell onto the cracked earth, as if pinned down by an invisible giant hand, unable to move.
Kui Leihan stomped on the ground, the earth shattered beneath his foot, purple lightning wandering around him, as the manipulation-type Penetrating Divine Senses touched the scythe of the God of Death, also pulling the scythe towards him as he advanced.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
At this moment, an abnormal sound emerged from behind him.
The charred black flowers throughout the city, unbeknownst to when, also revived their life force. Suddenly, the flower roots and vines intertwined, turning into thick tendrils, wrapping towards Kui Leihan from behind, seemingly trying to hold him down.
"Scram!"
Kui Leihan turned his head, no motions visible.
The God Punishment Tribulation was released into the sky, transformed into a sky-covering thunder palm that swept out, clearing half the city.
Rumble!
Thunder light engulfed everything.
The sky of the Central Yuan world, in an instant, was dyed in the color of purple lightning.
In the blink of an eye, Fusang City no longer existed, having been leveled to the ground, along with the flowers climbing over buildings and city walls, all withered among them, life impossible to revive.
"This..."
The sudden outbreak caused the spectators from all over the five regions to gasp in astonishment.
One strike for half a city.
Another strike for an entire city.
It seemed this was not even Kui Leihan’s full strength.
The Ancestor of Thought was more than just the Ancestor of Thought; he was a wildly savage Thunder Ancestor.
If he were to unleash his power fully, it might not just be one city, or one world; even the Eight Bazhun’an may suffer deaths and injuries from drawing their swords too slowly?
"Zzz!"
Purple lightning swept back.
Amidst the city engulfed in smoke and dust, only a single cape fluttered wildly in the wind.
Kui Leihan, grasping the black scythe pulled into his hand, softly spoke: "How should it be dealt with?"
