Chapter 108 - 86: Slaying the Ox Demon, a Blood-Red Sunset

Xu Guang stood on the street, looking at the enemy in front of him. This was a burly figure wearing a bamboo hat. Upon seeing Xu Guang, he slowly walked over.

As he walked, his flesh and blood continuously churned and expanded. His clothes tore apart inch by inch. What replaced the figure was a man with ox horns growing from his head, standing over three meters tall, exuding a ferocious aura like a beast from the savage wilds.

An inevitable clash loomed between them. The imposing figure, looking like an Ox Demon, lowered his gaze at Xu Guang as if looking at a mere insect.

"There is something strange about you. I smell the aura of a Blood Seal on you, but it doesn’t seem to belong to you."

Xu Guang remained expressionless, reaching out to tightly grip the Big Spear in his hand. This was a formidable enemy, a genuine expert of the Sensing Profound Realm. Fortunately, this person had not yet achieved a Mystic Body.

He had no idea what methods a Sensing Profound expert possessed. Having never witnessed how someone at this level fought, his heart was filled with extreme caution.

The Ox Demon seemed certain of Xu Guang’s defeat, and the reality was indeed so.

His Sensing Profound was already established. Although his foundation was shallow and he had not completed the First Transformation, he had long shed his mortal bounds. An existence like Xu Guang could be killed with a flick of his finger.

Therefore, he was curious about the origin of the Blood Seal on Xu Guang.

According to his perception, Xu Guang’s five viscera had not yet reached Perfection, and he had not yet achieved Seeing God. How could he have formed a Blood Seal?

Xu Guang remained silent. Seeing that the newcomer did not immediately charge over, a thought crossed his mind. He shifted his feet into a stance, ready to flee at any moment, yet on the surface, he asked softly with incomparable calmness, "Sensing Profound... what kind of Realm is it?"

"Hahaha!"

The Ox Demon roared with laughter. He then abruptly raised his fist and gave it a light shake. The surrounding air seemed to change.

"The human body is a treasure trove of endless wonders, and only the true essence of the Profound World can unearth its treasures. Very well. Since my master requested to capture you alive, I will show you what Sensing Profound truly is!"

As his voice fell, his figure moved like a falling leaf, his entire body carrying an indescribable momentum.

This momentum seemed to align with the heavens and the earth, yet also appeared to refine the world into his own body. When he threw a punch, it carried an immense, overwhelming strength.

This was the absolute peak strength in Feiyun City at this moment. The gap between Refining Viscera and Sensing Profound was like that between the clouds and the sky.

The sky seemed infinite, while the clouds merely floated within it.

The Ox Demon’s casual punch fused intent, momentum, and the Profound Seed, truly stepping into a higher level. This was a punch that a Refined Refining Viscera Martial Artist could scarcely hope to witness in their lifetime.

It was also a punch that completely mesmerized Xu Guang.

This punch nearly locked onto Xu Guang, instantly shattering his previous plan to escape.

Xu Guang lifted his spear and rose to the challenge. As the Big Spear in his hand trembled, countless bloody blossoms drifted down. He was fighting desperately.

He recklessly erupted the strength of his blood and bones. The very moment he realized escaping was hopeless, he had made this decision.

Fighting desperately was solely to create a sliver of an opportunity for his escape.

At the very first moment of their clash, he actually discovered that the Ox Demon had not reached the First Transformation, yet he was still so tyrannical.

In the Sensing Profound Fifth Transformations, every transformation was a brand-new world.

CLANG!

The fist and the spear intersected in midair, letting out an eerie, crisp sound.

The Ox Demon’s fist was like divine iron.

Xu Guang’s expression changed slightly. He only felt that the Power of the person before him seemed to carry Vitality, continuously surging into his body, relentless and unending.

If his own Power could be compared to stagnant water, then the Ox Demon’s Power was an alternative existence brimming with Vitality.

The two simply could not be mentioned in the same breath.

However, he looked at the Big Spear in his hand. Ever since he retrieved the Deep Pool Iron Sand that day, he had sought out a craftsman to smelt the iron sand into the Big Spear. Just now, the Big Spear had put up some resistance against the Ox Demon’s Power and absorbed it.

The Ox Demon looked at the spear in Xu Guang’s hand in astonishment. "Did your spear use Profound Material?"

Xu Guang’s heart stirred. Thinking of the crimson iron sand in that deep pool, he knew what the Ox Demon was talking about.

That iron sand should also be a Treasure that only those at the Sensing Profound level or above could obtain.

Nearby, the Feiyun Guards and Wei Chong charged forward, intending to assist Xu Guang in slaying the enemy.

The Ox Demon furrowed his brows slightly and muttered softly, "And a bunch of rats."

Before Xu Guang could even open his mouth, bloody bodies and severed limbs instantly flew through the air. Slaying his way through, the already few soldiers of the Feiyun Guards were entirely wiped out. Drifting and sprinkling down, blood rained upon the mortal realm.

Xu Guang’s eyes turned crimson. He saw Song Tao blasted back by a single punch from the Ox Demon, a myriad of blood mist erupting around him, his fate unknown.

"Benefactor, I am willing to follow Lord Ming..."

Over these past days, Song Tao had done many things for Xu Guang. Xu Guang trusted him deeply; although they were master and servant, their bond was extremely profound.

Xu Guang had an introverted personality, but he always placed great importance on his relationships.

He, who originally should have fled, stopped in his tracks upon seeing Song Tao’s uncertain fate.

"Just how strong is Sensing Profound!"

Suddenly, the Big Spear flipped, sweeping like a dragon in the air. Four different types of Power pierced through the Big Spear, as if wrapped in a rainbow.

The Ox Demon revealed a mocking sneer. The Divine Iron Fist blasted out, and the air let out a piercing whistle, sounding like a wail of agony.

After a single punch, Xu Guang’s figure retreated violently. The aura around him stagnated as if forcibly interrupted, and countless cracks appeared all over his skin.

BANG!

His body smashed through a wall. A warm tongue licked his ankle as the Mountain Armor Monkey looked at him with incomparable anxiety.

He finally snapped back to his senses. This person could not be fought head-on; he had to flee.

Right at this moment, however, he felt the sky shake violently.

CRACK!

Starting a few meters around the Ox Demon, the world shattered. The ground tore open into a fissure, like the maw of a demon hidden within the mortal realm, within which roared surging, boiling magma.

At the same time, a voice akin to a Celestial Being rang out.

"I, Duan Jue, now use the Human Soul to enact Sealing Heaven!"

The Ox Demon finally panicked. He could no longer feel the Profound Seed. Here in Feiyun City, he had lost his connection to the Profound Seed.
