Chapter 151: Cow Dung

 

A thousand swords howled as they swept past at full speed. The dragon-like roaring sound shook the Heavens and moved the Earth but it still could not conceal the sinister wind’s howling.

When Wen Leyang arrived in front of Little Supreme Leader Liu Zheng, he almost fainted from shock. Within his telegnosis ability, he sensed that the area around Liu Zheng’s body was filled with a boundless group of savagely jumping soldiers from the Yin Army!

The moment Little Supreme Leader Liu Zheng saw that Wen Leyang had arrived, he was so delighted that even the back of his head was smiling. He waved his arms and legs as he screamed and shouted at Wen Leyang.

Wen Leyang scurried in front of Liu Zheng and asked in exasperation, “What had you done?!”

Liu Zheng pointed at the ashes scattered around him which was at least 600 square meters in area. He said, “I’m not sure how many of my bones are broken and I can’t move easily. So, I found some cow dung to make a smoke signal hoping that it would lure you here… but they’ve also come along.” Liu Zheng used his chin to point at the never-ending soldiers from the Yin Army which were attempting to surge past the thousand swords’ blockade.

The swords’ essence glimmered and countless soldiers of the Yin Army’s souls were immediately shattered upon coming in contact with the swords. They were massacred just like ants as the long swords dropped continuously from the sky accompanied by sorrowful wails. Even though there was a huge quantity of long swords, there was still a limit to its numbers whereas the number of soldiers from the Yin Army seemed to never end. Sooner or later, the long swords would be destroyed completely.

When Liu Zheng had finished speaking, he looked at Wen Leyang and smiled, “Are you not curious about how I had found the cow dung?”

Wen Leyang’s interest was piqued, this really was a curious question.

Liu Zheng answered his own question proudly, “I had only arrived here for a short moment when I was trampled several times by a herd of wild buffalos with huge ears. This was also how I had gotten the cow dung…”

Wen Leyang carried Liu Zheng strenuously onto his back as he asked hesitantly, “I think what you’re talking about is an elephant, right?”

“What’s an elephant? I’ve never seen it before!” Liu Zheng’s answer was spoken in a sonorous and forceful voice as Wen Leyang started to run. Following that, both of them then saw their own wild buffalos and elephants…

Wen Leyang yelled once before running in another direction.

Soon after Liu Zheng had left, the Kunlun divine swords shot into the air one after another. The swords no longer tried to engage the Yin Army but chased after their master. The Yin Army was scattered on the entire mountain range like tidewater which had broken the embankment began to surge and rush towards that direction. Along the way, numerous witchcraft traps were completely triggered. Sometimes, the Yin Army resembled wheat as they were mowed down in layers; at other times, a large part of the massive troop of soldiers was swallowed abruptly. They were also attacked by countless mad beasts, wild bees, poisonous vermin… However, no matter what type of prohibition spell or killing method which was launched, it would still be entirely overwhelmed by the merciless tide of soldiers from the Yin Army. Their number was utterly limitless, it was as if they could never be completely annihilated!

Wen Leyang asked in a slightly puzzled manner as he ran along with Liu Zheng on his back, “Technically speaking, the soldiers of the Yin army were supposed to be evil spirits and malevolent souls. Therefore, they shouldn’t be able to be fatally poisoned by vermin and shouldn’t be able to be swallowed by those ferocious beasts, right?”

Liu Zheng had witnessed the fighting and killing between the witchcraft spells and the Yin Army. He pondered for a moment before he answered, “This world we are now in was created by Leyang Tian’s witchcraft spell. It should be steeped in the power of witchcraft and anything in here would be affected and corroded by the spell’s power. On the outside, Leyang Tian had absolutely no way to harm these soldiers from the Yin Army.”

Wen Leyang was still confused, “Why is the fighting and killing a necessity then? If this place here works entirely based on Leyang Tian’s decision, then why does he not directly erase the Yin Army…”

Liu Zheng burst out laughing, “Do you really think that he’s an immortal? A human’s power has its limits and he can only do this much. What he has done is already considered absolutely amazing. As the witchcraft spells of Painting Town are entangled with the countless soldiers from the Yin Army right now, either the witchcraft spell succeeds in killing all the soldiers of the Yin Army or the soldiers will succeed in destroying this scene of mountains and rivers here!”

Within this scene of mountains and rivers, the witchcraft spell’s power has the ability to harm anything, including evil spirits and malevolent souls. Nevertheless, everything still worked in accordance with the nature of supernatural power. Wen Leyang’s Poison of Life and Death’s power was much more incisive than the witchcraft spell’s traps so naturally, he had been able to escape by himself. Even though this world here belongs to someone with the surname of Leyang, it was not all up to Leyang Tian’s decision alone. After activating the witchcraft spell which was capable of harming the soldiers from the Yin Army, Leyang Tian had exhausted all of his powers.

As Liu Zheng had mentioned, if it had not been for this witchcraft landscape here, Leyang Tian had utterly no other way to deal with the Yin Army.

Wen Leyang nodded as if he was deep in thought, “So, what kind of place is this actually? Did we go into Leyang Tian’s painting or… had a massive mountain range grew out of Shanghai suddenly?”

Liu Zheng considered the question for a long while before he answered, “I’m not skilled in the cultivation of witchcraft spells but it seems impossible for all of us to be in the painting. If that’s so then I shouldn’t have been able to summon the Kunlun divine swords. I think that this is more like a type of magic spell capable of changing space, those who had not been transported here will only see Painting Town as its usual appearance, I guess…”

As Liu Zheng was speaking, Wen Leyang suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shudder once vigorously. Liu Zheng hastily reminded him loudly, “Be careful of the traps!”

Wen Leyang was already getting accustomed to this. He was just pondering in his heart that he had already run for a long time so he was bound to bump into some witchcraft spell that he was too lazy to think about anymore. He immediately stopped his footsteps as the Poison Stream’s undercurrent rippled back and forth. It spun around and guarded the front of his body. Following that, the ground shuddered once again and the Little Supreme Leader Liu Zheng’s expression changed catastrophically all of a sudden. He yelled in desperation as he tried to jump down from Wen Leyang’s back. He was shouting repeatedly, “Let me down, this matter only involves the both of you!”

Wen Leyang, on the other hand, made a sharp turn instead. He did not care what direction he was heading in or if there were countless soldiers of the Yin army there. He spread his legs and ran as his hands firmly held onto Liu Zheng in a life-or-death grip.

A serpentine head the size of a washbowl shattered the hard mountain rock and appeared near them. When it saw Wen Leyang, it made a joyous sound and with a whooshing noise, its entire body squirmed out from beneath the ground. It spread its membranous black-colored wings as it blocked Wen Leyang’s path as quickly as lightning.

The Ning Jiao was not a trap. It had dropped into the witchcraft spell’s trap recently and when it had burrowed out from the ground, it saw the large vitality enhancement pill which had been running all over the place.

Wen Leyang stopped moving. He did not even try to jog slowly because when compared to Ning Jiao, his movements were as slow as a silkworm’s while the latter was like a falcon which was as swift as lightning.

The Ning Jiao was not an especially intelligent creature. Under its excitement, it continuously used its tongue to lick Wen Leyang’s face greedily instead of immediately swallowing Wen Leyang with one gulp.

Liu Zheng swung his arms and legs as he jumped down but his legs immediately turned limp. As he tumbled to the ground, his mouth was still blaming Wen Leyang constantly.

Wen Leyang was on the verge of becoming the Ning Jiao’s food. He ignored its licking tongue as he turned and asked Liu Zheng, “If the both of us were climbing over a wall and you had reached the top first before falling into a large manure pit, would you warn me about it?”

Liu Zheng’s hands were pinched into the sword-control gesture as he summoned the dark mass of Kunlun divine swords towards him. The expression on his face was extremely determined and he did not even need to consider it before he shook his head, “I won’t warn you, we will bear the hardship together!”

Wen Leyang burst out laughing, “It’s done then, don’t you complain anymore! If you complain again I will leave you behind this time! Perhaps the Ning Jiao might swallow you up in one gulp. Since we’ve bumped into it, I have nowhere else to escape to. It will only take a moment to finish consuming this meal.”

The moment Wen Leyang had burst out into laughter, the Ning Jiao too made a joyous growl. Its cooing sound was terrifying. Not long after that, the divine swords which had covered the sky in a dark mass suddenly surged down like a heavy downpour. The swords swarmed fiercely towards the Ning Jiao!

The Ning Jiao was drooling as it raised its wings to considerately shield Wen Leyang. Its silvery-white serpentine body, on the other hand, was exposed to the rain of swords. A clanging and crashing sound echoed through the entire sky. Even though the Kunlun divine sword formation’s power was quite incisive, under the Little Supreme Leader Liu Zheng’s guidance, its attacks were completely futile against the Ning Jiao! If the person guiding the sword formation was his master the Enlightened Tian Shu, perhaps the Ning Jiao would feel mildly frightened.

Liu Zheng forced a laugh as he pointed at the Ning Jiao’s wings. He said to Wen Leyang, “It seems that this monster here dislikes eating stuffing!”

Wen Leyang heaved a sigh, “If I were to die today, you must figure out a way to capture San Wei!”

Liu Zheng huffed before saying, “I really do want to capture him but do you think that I have the capability to do so?” As he said that, he took out several talisman patches and cautiously stuck them onto his body. Each talisman shook once before it ignited into brief flames. After burning a short while, the talismans turned into ashes and drifted towards the ground.

The Ning Jiao paid utterly no attention to the sword rain, it only cared about licking Wen Leyang greedily. The snake’s forked tongue felt icy-cold as it slipped from his left cheek to his right cheek. Suddenly, a raging ululation sounded as a dark-red-colored arc erupted violently in front of Wen Leyang’s eyes. This red streak mercilessly swung its stingers towards that thick forked tongue. The Ning Jiao was startled and quickly rolled its forked tongue back into its mouth. ‘You’ve Got Me’ raised its head as it stood upright on Wen Leyang’s shoulder and ululated in rage twice. Then, it turned its body before tumbling onto the ground and lying there with its body outstretched… It had gone back to sleeping soundly from the remnant effect of liquor consumption, it was actually still drunk.

Of course, the Ning Jiao was not afraid of this Fire Element Poison bug which was still a larva. After its initial shock, it burned with anger. Its tongue flashed past with a pop and wrapped around ‘You’ve Got Me’s’ sleeping body. It then started to roll its tongue into its mouth. Wen Leyang roared in rage and stretched his hands out as fast as lightning. He grabbed onto the Ning Jiao’s icy-cold yet slippery tongue in midair. The forked tongue suddenly trembled once and an unimaginably tremendous force exploded in his palms with a bang. It felt like he had just grabbed a bag full of exploding grenades instead of a forked tongue.

The Ning Jiao had only shaken its tongue for a moment but Wen Leyang felt as if the Poison of Life and Death’s current which had been surging in his entire body was shattered. He screamed in agony and blood sprayed from his mouth. All the fingers on his hands were ripped by the tremendous force and his entire body fell back!

The Ning Jiao’s tongue struggled free and also managed to shake off ‘You’ve Got Me’. It was completely enraged and no longer hesitated as it stretched out its head with its mouth wide open towards Wen Leyang. The Poison of Life and Death’s power within Wen Leyang’s body had been scattered into a mess at this moment and he could not even spare an ounce of energy to dodge the attack. He could only watch helplessly as the Ning Jiao’s large mouth appeared before him. ‘You’ve Got Me’ howled in rage and the sound even managed to eclipse the sonorous humming of the sword rain for an instant!

Suddenly, Wen Leyang felt someone grip his neck tightly!

A tremendous force pulled Wen Leyang forcefully away from the snake’s kiss. The Little Supreme Leader Liu Zheng’s reaction was faster than lightning as he pulled Wen Leyang along while he retreated rapidly.

The Ning Jiao howled in rage. It then spread its wings and chased after them. ‘You’ve Got Me’ flexed and extended its body in midair before landing and clamping tightly onto the Ning Jiao’s body. The raging ululation had turned into a long and bitter hiss as the scorching red color of the bug’s body grew brighter and brighter. It looked almost like an agile flame when seen from afar; like a bright ember that was about to erupt into a raging flame which was capable of burning the Heavens!

The distance between Wen Leyang and the Ning Jiao was less than a few dozens of meters away. As he saw ‘You’ve Got Me’ get infuriated into a frenzy of rage, he could not help but shake his head and sigh. Even if ‘You’ve Got Me’ was to turn into a Buddha’s Light Bug at this moment, before the eyes of the all-powerful Ning Jiao, it was so fragile it would not even survive one blow. Nevertheless, if ‘You’ve Got Me’ could turn into the king of bugs, this was still a good deed for it. Then, Wen Leyang’s death would at least be a little bit more worthwhile… causing ‘You’ve Got Me’ to get so infuriated until it received an upgrade.

Liu Zheng and Wen Leyang were at the front while the Ning Jiao with ‘You’ve Got Me’ lying on its back were pursuing them relentlessly. Behind them was the countless Kunlun divine swords formation. In a stretch of a relatively flat mountain valley, they swept past like the wind!

Liu Zheng’s dashing did not seem to trouble his speech as his method of cultivation was supported by the Taoist school’s life vitality force. It was not related to his breathing but his voice turned more and more impatient and exhausted with time, “I’m using the talisman’s power to guide the life vitality force but I’m afraid that I won’t last much longer. If you have anything else to say to me, you better tell me now!”

Wen Leyang laughed bitterly, both of them were not foolish beings and he understood Liu Zheng’s opinion entirely. He knew that Liu Zheng’s effort would not last much longer and that he was not trying to rescue Wen Leyang but to give him an opportunity to leave behind some last words. To be given the opportunity to say his last words before he died, this could perhaps be considered as a form of happiness!

Father and Mother? The four grandfathers? Wen Xiaoyi, and Mumu? Chang Li? Wen Leyang was dumbstruck, he did not know who to say what to. The act of last words and opportunity were the same, it was always given to those who were well-prepared.

Not long after, Liu Zheng suddenly dropped to the ground. Before he could fall completely, he suddenly exerted strength on his arms and threw Wen Leyang out of the way. When the Ning Jiao saw that Liu Zheng had fallen from exhaustion, its gigantic wings turned and its body slowed down slightly for an instant. It seemed to be trying to figure out the scheme behind its meal. In the meantime, the Kunlun divine sword formation which had been chasing behind them arrived like a swarm of bees. They dived mercilessly towards the Ning Jiao yet the swords could not even manage to lift up the smallest piece of its scale.

‘You’ve Got Me’ was still hissing and humming, its bitter howl was like a sharp dagger that stabbed upwards into the sky ferociously! Even an extremely knowledgeable and experienced person in this world would never have believed that such a loud cry had surprisingly come from this little bug.

A drunk, raging, and mad bug!

In the excitement, no one noticed that the sky had turned into a gloomy red color. It looked like a fire which was burning ferociously with countless raging flames that rippled and surged!

The Ning Jiao slowed down for a moment before it sped up once again. It shot forward like a divine arrow and opened its large mouth before pouncing in a straight line towards Wen Leyang. A foul wind started blowing within the monster’s excitement!

Wen Leyang blamed himself for not bringing an explosive package with him and his eyes were crackling with rage as he watched the Ning Jiao arrive in all savageness. Just as the Ning Jiao’s teeth scraped the top of his head, a dull red glare abruptly exploded with a bang within Wen Leyang’s pupils. Under the sky and above the ground, everywhere had turned a scorching red color!
