Chapter 111: Raising Their Bodies Willing To Give Their Lives!

One day later, at the Southern Mountain, 800 miles away from the Capital.

The Southern Mountain was rich in minerals and warm jade. But right now, it was barren and bare, uninhabited, and completely devoid of life.

All of a sudden, the earth shook and two huge beasts appeared.

One was covered in 2-foot-long dog hair, tiger claws, boar’s teeth and mouth, and a tail that was about 17 feet long.

The other was a huge beast, with the body of a sheep, a human face, and two eyes hidden under its armpits. This beast kept hissing: “I’m hungry! I want to eat!”

These were two of the Four Fierce Beasts. Taowu and Taotie!

Taowu couldn’t stand Taotie’s incessant chatting, so it said: “There’s a small town 80 miles away, it should be enough to fulfill your appetite.”

Taotie howled relentlessly, when all of a sudden, it shoved its claws into its own mouth and gnawed at them!

Blood spilled from the Taotie’s large mouth as it chewed with delight, as if it were savoring a delicious treat.

Taowu wasn’t surprised by this behavior: “You’re still the same.”

Taotie grinned, showing its bloody teeth. At the same time, blood flowed from its mouth, falling to the ground: “Let’s hurry up, I’m hungry.”

Taowu didn’t respond, but it didn’t move forward either. Instead, Taowu held its breath and listened intently to their surroundings. After a brief moment, Taowu said: “Looks like you won’t have to wait long to temporarily satisfy your hunger.”

As soon as the Taowu’s voice died away, a hot and dazzling flame rushed down from the sky, heading straight for the Taotie and Taowu.

The two ferocious beasts backed away from the flame, allowing it to land on the ground. The flame, after powerfully impacting on the ground, generated a large crater in the ground, raising dust and smoke into the air. Taowu raised its head and looked up. Among the smoke and dust, there was a creature with the body of a tortoise entwined with a snake, four legs, a Dragon head, and a Qilin tail. It gave an air of such power that could shock the entire world.

In the sky, there was a great White Bird with its long wings spread and fire overflowing from its beak. Its appearance was both heroic and extraordinary.

The Tortoise’s voice was thick and firm, exactly like State Master Li’s: “Don’t take another step!”

Taowu threw its head back and laughed. Then, it said to the Taotie: “Weren’t you whimpering a few moments ago because you were hungry? It seems that food has personally come for you.”

Taotie chillingly laughed out loud at the same time that the flesh of the foot that it had ripped off itself began to regenerate. Right after, the Taotie opened its mouth and pounced on the Tortoise!

The White Bird in the air let out a loud cry, at the same time it pounced on the Taotie, and got entangled with it! The White Bird’s sharp claws fiercely scratched the Taotie’s eyes!

Although Taotie was taken by surprise and had blood stains on its face after being attacked, it wasn’t angry. Instead, it began to laugh out loud. This laugh turned into something chilling and unintelligible. At the same time, it yelled: “I’m so hungry, so hungry!”

The Taotie then pounced at the White Bird to bite it, but the White Bird tried to escape. However, the White Bird soon discovered that it couldn’t get away from the Taotie in any way possible since the Taotie was chasing after the White Bird very closely. Because of this, the White Bird couldn’t find a good opportunity to fly away. The only thing it could do was try to avoid the Taotie’s attacks, even if it didn’t have time to breathe.

The White Bird then attacked the Taotie, pecking and scratching at its flesh fiercely. The Taotie was covered in wounds from which putrefying blood oozed out.

But the strangest thing about all this was that the Taotie never backed down. Instead, as time passed by, it became more and more courageous.

At first, the White Bird found it impossible to resist, feeling weaker and weaker. The White Bird was almost chewed up by the Taotie on several occasions.

Immortal Lord Zhenwu grasped the difficult situation Lin Baihu was in and wanted to come over to help him. However, when the Taowu realized this, it stood in front of him to block his path.

“What’s wrong? Do you want to stop it?” Taowu laughed, and its long tail swung at Immortal Lord Zhenwu like a whip. Immortal Lord Zhenwu narrowly avoided the attack, but the Taowu didn’t realize that the snake entwined around the Tortoise’s body would fearlessly attack the Taowu, sinking its sharp fangs into the Taowu’s tail with force. The Taowu roared loudly in pain, but almost instantly, it wrapped its tail around the snake to strangle it.

Suddenly, the White Bird that was fighting the Taotie let out a loud cry of pain!

It turned out that the White Bird’s wing had been bitten by the Taotie! Red blood spurted out, staining the white as snow feathers. The White Bird struggled to free itself, but no matter what, it could no longer fly. It fell pitifully to the ground every time it tried.

“Delicious, so delicious!” The Taotie’s eyes glowed as it cheerfully shouted. Then, the Taotie pounced onto the White Bird to bite it again!

Right at the most critical moment, the Tortoise ran towards the Taotie and knocked it aside, protecting the White Bird.

However, since the snake had lost the Tortoise’s protection, the latter was held by the Taowu, who continued to strangle it. Gradually, the snake could no longer move, and as it hissed with its viperous tongue, it struggled painfully.

The Tortoise also seemed to feel the snake’s pain, as it shook its head as if to stop it.

At that moment, a yellow paper talisman silently fell from the sky, glowing with golden light. Then, a black fog came out of the talisman, rising into the air.

“Oh, no!” Immortal Lord Zhenwu shouted out.

“What? So it’s you?” Taotie and Taowu stopped attacking the other beasts and looked at the black fog.

“Were you really sealed in a talisman by them?” Taowu didn’t hide the mockery in its voice.

“Of course. After all, I also have moments when I want to rest,” Hundun slowly replied.

“Didn’t you get enough rest during the years you’ve been sealed?” Taowu snickered.

“What about Demon Emperor Zhonghua?” Taotie hurried to ask.

“Naturally, he was trapped by me,” Hundun said.

Taotie and Taowu showed disbelief. Hundun continued: “Now that he has lost all of his Mana, and his Neidan is broken, he’s nothing more than useless waste. Isn’t it normal for me to easily capture him that way?”

Looking particularly excited by this, Taowu said: “Let Demon Emperor Zhonghua out! I want to torture him myself!”

“There’s no hurry. You take care of those two first,” Hundun said calmly. “After I finish admiring how Demon Emperor Zhonghua mentally collapses, I will hand him over to you. At that time, whenever you want to take revenge, you can do whatever you want.”

After saying that, it seemed that Hundun was about to leave.

“Where are you going now?” Taotie asked.

“I’m going to visit the person that Demon Emperor Zhonghua has in his heart. Hahaha!” Hundun laughed as he headed towards the Capital.

The White Bird soared fiercely into the air, as if trying to stop Hundun. But almost instantly, its crane legs were caught by Taowu’s tail, who pulled the White Bird with all its might, throwing it ferociously to the ground.

The White Bird felt immense pain at the same time that its great helplessness seemed to reverberate throughout Heaven and Earth.

At first, Immortal Lord Zhenwu believed that he and Lin Baihu would be able to hold off the Four Fierce Beasts even for a while. However, it seemed that their fates were already decided by the Heavens, and this was something that couldn’t be undone. Both of them had fallen into an abyss from which it was impossible for them to overcome. There was no chance to escape from this critical moment!

It was already too late!

“Come, I’ll give you one last chance to beg for mercy.” Taowu laughed out loud.

In fact, they had gotten into such dire straits that they were doomed from the very start. Everything else would be in vain.

Even so, right the next moment, Immortal Lord Zhenwu and Lin Baihu stood up with their last strength and rushed towards Taowu and Taotie!

The White Bird screamed, and the Tortoise roared!

Such vicious fearlessness, and such pride, broke through the sky.

Raising their bodies willing to give their lives!



In the Capital, at noon break, Qi Ci was taking a nap. All of a sudden, he was awakened by severe pain.

Ever since that time he had had a strange dream, the birthmark Qi Ci had on his chest began to hurt more frequently. Although a Physician had looked at it, he found nothing strange.

Wracked with pain, Qi Ci had been unable to sleep well these days. Although he wanted to rest a bit at noon, he woke up again from the pain.

Qi Ci opened his shirt and found that the birthmark was glowing with an eerie golden light.

‘What the hell is going on?’

Qi Ci clenched his teeth trying to endure the pain, but suddenly, he heard a hoarse voice in his wing room: “Do you want to know what’s happening to you?”

“Who—?” Qi Ci was startled, but when he looked around, he couldn’t find anyone.

Then, a black fog gradually emerged in front of Qi Ci.

“The mark on your chest is not a birthmark, but rather a scar left behind after your Dragon Bone was removed.” The black fog smiled wistfully. “Do you want to know who was the person who took your Dragon Bone?”

However, Qi Ci didn’t even bother to pay attention to what Hundun had told him, as he jumped out of bed and hurriedly ran to the door.

‘Why is a fog talking?!’

‘Why is it saying such unintelligible things?!’

In case this black fog wasn’t real, Qi Ci didn’t want to confirm his falling into madness, so it was better to leave immediately!

“Tsk. I see you don’t know how to appreciate my help, hmm?” Hundun coldly snorted. As the black fog turned into a rope, it wrapped itself around Qi Ci’s ankle.

Qi Ci ran so fast that when he was unexpectedly caught by the ankle, he fell heavily to the ground.

However, right the next second, a flash of silver light appeared, slashing the black fog in half.
