Headless Immortal

Chapter 80: Great Demon vs. Great Demon [Bonus Chapter for 'Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, but only Mount Ling was good']

Wu Tong Lu Xun hadn't been learning martial arts for long, so he couldn't tell what style the white-faced man was using.

However, he didn't care.

The Ape-Style Fist is fierce and powerful. Once it seizes the initiative, it will be like a long, continuous river, giving the enemy no chance to breathe.

It was the white-faced man's fault for not making the first move.

Bang.

Lu Xun threw away the crocodile leader's axe.

Swinging heavy weapons is extremely strenuous, and someone like him who doesn't know how to use them would just slash randomly, and he might get hit in a vital spot by his opponent at any time, so he might as well fight with his fists.

With a leap, his body low to the ground, he bounded forward like a monkey running and a tiger hunting, leaping two zhang in a single bound.

The iron fist struck like a python biting at the pale-faced man's face.

First come, first served.

Mr. Ni planted his foot firmly on the ground, his arms crossed to block the ape's iron fist. The terrifying force caused the stone slab beneath his feet to suddenly crack and sink into the ground an inch deep, while the flesh and blood of his arms were completely torn apart by the fist.

Mr. Ni was completely unaware that his right hand, with three fingers clenched into eagle claws, was aimed straight at the ape-like monster's throat.

Unexpectedly, the Tongbi Ape unleashed its iron fist, transforming it into a claw, and lunged straight at Mr. Ni's bloodshot eyes.

prick!
The sound of wind tearing.

Mr. Ni stepped on the cracked bluestone slab beneath his feet, and with the force of a roc spreading its wings, he used the momentum to retreat, narrowly avoiding the attack.

He looked at the bloody flesh that had been ripped open by the gibbon, touched the bloodstains on his cheeks, and then completely peeled off the white face that looked like a horny mask, revealing the disheveled, dark blue body underneath.

Lu Xun looked at the slight pain coming from his arm; six claw marks had torn the skin and flesh open, and blood had stained his silver fur red.

"drink!"

Mr. Ni's torn flesh and detached fascia disappeared, replaced by a robust body as blue as iron. His white face shattered and fell away, revealing the head of a broad-mouthed, beast-headed crocodile.

With beast-like legs, long arms, and iron claws, the monster was covered in fine, bumpy scales and dragged a bald iron tail in the flickering torchlight.

The scholar's long gown was tied around his waist, resembling a battle robe.

"Eagle Claw Strikes"

Qian Xiong called out the opponent's fighting style, and without hesitation, he stepped forward with his knife and stood in a corner.

Cheng Yan took his sword and stood at the other corner.

Lao Cheng and the group of yamen runners gradually recovered.

The poisonous mist and miasma were pulverized by Wutong Lu Xun before he could inhale much of them.

There was no chance for the alligator dragon Ni Guai to catch its breath.

Lu Xun covered four or five meters in a single step, closing in and launching a frontal assault.

His fists moved like thunder, their powerful force creating a strong wind. His arms, like two white lightning bolts, twirled like a spinning wheel, weaving Mr. Ni into the Ape-Style Fist.

The monster Ni, now in his true form, was no longer the weak scholar he had been moments before.

With his beast-like feet, he shifted back and forth in a half-horse stance, while his arms used eagle claws to launch relentless and ruthless attacks, each strike seemingly leaving several bloody marks.

A muffled thud and a terrifying tearing sound occurred between the two great demons.

The Wutong Mountain Lord's advantages as a furry creature became apparent: thick skin, powerful flesh, and immense strength. Its power, capable of tearing tigers and leopards apart, made its fists like an unstoppable flood.

The combination of Ape Fist and Monkey Fist subtly reveals a seasoned mastery of both strength and softness, giving Ni Guai no chance to escape.

"There is a flaw!"

Ni's monster claws moved along the ape-shaped fist's arms like a loom, and the soft, yin-like grappling force slithered in like a venomous snake, his two fingers hooking together and heading straight for the Tanzhong acupoint.

Boom!
Lu Xun's punching motion faltered.

Iron Beast Claw, having gained the upper hand, pressed on, sinking its attack into the Zhongting acupoint in an attempt to repeat its previous tactic.

Collapse of mountains!

hum.

The power of the Mountain-Shattering Technique gathered in his chest.

The interruption of his blood and qi only fueled Wu Tong Lu Xun's ferocity. He raised his leg high and swept it towards Ni Guai's temple, like a white lightning bolt, fast and ruthless.

At such a distance, Mr. Ni had no way to dodge and had to defend himself with both arms.

boom.

Even the great demon was kicked by Wutong Lu Xun and staggered, his arms bending unnaturally.

The bald, long-tailed creature swept across the ground, attempting to force Lu Xun, who was getting close, back.

Lu Xun blocked with his left arm, and threw a straight punch at Ni Guai's face with his right arm.

Bang.

Ni Guai's square face opened a dye shop.

Several powerful individuals with true qi surrounded them.

Mr. Ni opened his mouth and roared angrily.

"Wow!"

Its cries sounded like those of an infant, but were much sharper.

Lu Xun, who was the first to be affected, couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

Ni Guai didn't continue to pester him; he twisted his waist and jumped onto the eaves of the hall.

Playing in the water! A crimson water arrow was launched.

The rooftop monster stumbled, and without pausing, it leaped into the city's waterways in a few bounds.

"Goo."

Lu Xun's cheeks puffed up suddenly, his stomach churned, and his body almost collapsed to the ground. Seeing Cheng Yan coming to help him up, Wutong Mountain Lord, despite his discomfort, climbed onto the roof and jumped into the city's waterways, swimming into the darkness before finding a deserted alley.

……

"vomit!"

I vomited violently, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

I'm afraid there won't even be any food left from last night.

His gilded demonic eyes were bloodshot and tangled, his snow-haired ape arms braced against the wall as he retched uncontrollably until nothing came out, thick, bitter liquid mixed with saliva dripping from his lips. Sun Shen had indeed been right; his skills were rudimentary. Killing bandits and robbers who had haphazardly cultivated true qi was like killing chickens, but against a true master, he was no match.

Fortunately, he practiced diligently for a whole month, and his monkey fist technique evolved from a theatrical art to a magical art, giving him both hard and soft fists; otherwise, he might not have been able to defeat the Azure Scale Monster.

"If you've had too much to drink, go somewhere else to throw up so you don't dirty my front door."

Hearing the commotion, the male homeowner went to the door and angrily berated them.

Just then, a pair of golden eyes glared at him.

Startled, I quickly closed the door.

……

"This……"

The squad leader looked at Lao Cheng, then at Qian Xiong: "Officer, what should we do? Chase them?"

Qian Xiong scoffed: "Chase?"

He turned his gaze back as he spoke.

The dozen or so yamen runners were terrified.

Look at me, look at you.

"Sigh, I'm not going to chase after them anymore," Qian Xiong sighed.

Everyone felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

A few moments.

The night patrol officers and the county government's support team also arrived.

"Arrest them."

Qian Xiong ordered the yamen runners to arrest the Dou family members first. Although most of them had been killed and eaten by the monsters, there were still some who escaped. With these people around, they could still complete their mission. As for the long-tailed Ni monster with green scales and a shape resembling a crocodile, and the long-armed ape with white hair, white body, red face, and green teeth, only the Earth Division Captain could handle them.

On the way back to the county government office, Cheng Yan was filled with worry.

Uncle Cat suffered a serious injury and is currently missing, which is really worrying.

"Master..."

Cheng Yan asked quietly.

Lao Cheng shook his head and said, "Don't ask, don't say."

Only in this way can the tripod be protected.

Cheng Yan nodded, put his arm around Wu Agui beside him, and said with a smile, "Brother Wu."

"Brother Cheng."

Wu Agui smiled and bent over, giving him a knowing look.

Who would betray their backer for no reason?
At the same time, he smiled and nodded slightly at the big rat on Cheng Yan's shoulder.

Cats are powerful, so mice must be just as good, right?

……

County government.

The county magistrate, his brow furrowed, listened to Qian Xiong's detailed report.

Sitting in the main hall, Lü Qian scrutinized Qian Xiong for a moment, then looked at Lao Cheng beside him.

Including the clerk standing next to him, there were only four people in total.

Master Lü slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Did you really see it clearly?"

Qian Xiong crossed his arms and replied, "Absolutely."

Master Lü shifted his gaze to Lao Cheng's face and asked calmly, "Wu Tong Shen was killed on Chengmen Street half a year ago, is that right or wrong?"

The old man wasn't sure what the master meant, but he still clasped his hands in greeting and said, "That's right. That day, my brothers and I clearly saw his head being cut off and his body left to be displayed for half a month."

Lu Qian remained expressionless and calmly said, "Then it couldn't be him."

"remember!
"The Five Gods are dead."

"If anyone spreads or fabricates rumors, this county will not be lenient with them."

"As for the other monsters... Master."

The clerk standing to the side bowed and stepped forward, saying, "Your subordinate is here."

"Post notices to invite talented and extraordinary people."

"Anyone who can slay the Azure-Scaled Monster will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver."
