Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 110: The Death of the Ancestor
Her understanding of "Fire Serpent Transformation" was to condense flames into a fire serpent to attack the enemy. Compared to ordinary fireball spells, the fire serpent was more agile and had increased flame power.

But the Chicken Demon's move, "Fire Serpent Transformation," with a fire serpent overseeing the battle from the sidelines and refusing to attack, was all the more ingenious.

As a result, the Zhou family patriarch had to be distracted and on guard. If he revealed any weakness, he would be attacked by the fire snakes, which greatly limited his ability to fight the two second-tier demonic beasts head-on.

It can be said that at this moment, this giant fire serpent, which is seven or eight zhang long, poses a threat to the Zhou family patriarch no less than that of a second-tier demon beast.

"This chicken demon must be at the second level of cultivation, right? Its demonic power is so abundant, it seems inexhaustible?"

"That's what the second-in-command of the Green Bamboo Gang guessed."

Su Qing, with his Qi Refining Level 4 cultivation, could only condense a fire snake two zhang long, while this chicken demon could condense a fire snake seven or eight zhang long.

And this is the second giant fire serpent it has unleashed. Just now it blew wind and breathed fire again. How much demonic power must it have consumed?

The other martial artists nodded in agreement. The combat power displayed by this chicken demon was among the strongest, even among second-tier demonic beasts.

In fact, this was a misunderstanding on their part about Ji Cheng.

The power of Ji Cheng's titles, "Wind-blowing Chicken" and "Turkey-striking Chicken," does not require the consumption of demonic power. He can cast spells like "Fire Serpent Transformation" multiple times.

At this moment, he used the "Fire Serpent Transformation" technique to control the giant fire serpent, which hovered in mid-air, and seized the opportunity to breathe fire at the Zhou family patriarch.

Instead of directly controlling the fire serpent to attack the opponent, he treated the fire serpent as a demonic beast, using it to restrain and harass the Zhou family patriarch from the flank.

While dealing with the attacks of the bull demon and the python demon, the Zhou family patriarch was unable to dodge in time and was targeted by a flame aimed at his head. He managed to dodge by tilting his head to the side, but a wisp of his beard was burned away.

Enraged, he unleashed a powerful palm strike at the fire serpent, but the fire serpent had no physical form; after the flames were dispersed, they quickly coalesced back into a fire serpent.

Ji Cheng's restraint was quite effective. A Niu's punches were getting heavier and heavier, and the python demon's corrosive liquid also hit the Zhou family patriarch, successfully corroding a piece of flesh off his shoulder.

Seeing that the Zhou family patriarch was already showing signs of weakness, Zhou Mu shouted wildly, "You blind worshipper, why don't you help my patriarch?"

"No rush. I see that your ancestor has an invincible presence. Let him fight again first."

The blind Taoist priest spoke casually, clearly adopting an attitude of watching from the sidelines.

Upon hearing this, the Zhou family patriarch was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "That old blind man, I, the Invincible Bull Demon King, will reward you!"
Zhou Mu gave the old blind man a dark look, unable to hide his murderous intent. He thought to himself, "Once this matter is over, I will definitely make my ancestor kill this old blind man."

Ji Cheng shouted towards Su Qing, "Friends of the Green Bamboo Gang, you are doomed to die today. Why don't you come and help us? Are you just going to sit here and wait to die?"

Besides the Zhou family patriarch, the Xiangshe Gang and the Wang family martial arts school also have a group of internal energy martial artists who are armed and constitute a formidable fighting force.

The python demon's molted clone was no longer a match for it, and it had suffered multiple serious injuries.

Behind Su Qing, the group of martial artists looked at each other in bewilderment. Yes, if they didn't make a move now, when would they?
Are you suggesting that the Zhou family patriarch should deal with these demonic beasts first, and then use his remaining strength to kill us?

Everyone looked at Su Qing, who nodded slightly. Then, led by the leaders of the Green Bamboo Gang, they all grabbed their weapons and rushed towards Zhou Mutian and the other martial artists.

Someone shouted, "Traitor Tian Chong, prepare to die!"

Some people went to the seriously injured head of the Wang family martial arts school, claiming they wanted to avenge their master, Mu Changchun!

In an instant, the chaos reignited, with shouts of battle shaking the heavens.

"Old blind man, aren't you going to make a move..."

Zhou Mu was besieged by three internal energy martial artists. He was furious. When he turned around, the blind Taoist who had been standing there just moments before had vanished.

The old blind man not only didn't make a move, but he even hid himself.

Zhou Mu was furious. Why was it different from what was agreed upon? What was this old blind man trying to do?
The Azure Flame Rabbit squeaked and unleashed several streaks of azure flame, all aimed at Zhou Mu.

Big Yellow and Little Flower hid behind a rock. Coincidentally, a martial artist from the Wang Family Martial Arts School, fearing for his life, secretly fled here to hide.

Big Yellow pounced out from behind the rock and fought fiercely with the martial artist, biting off his neck in one bite.

In the arena, the two demonic beasts were still engaged in a fierce battle with the Zhou family patriarch, which had reached a fever pitch.

The Zhou family patriarch was injured in many places, bleeding profusely. The bull demon and python demon were also invaded by the Zhou family patriarch's internal energy, and their speed gradually slowed down.

Ji Cheng flew through the air, using his feather blades and flames to cause great disruption to the Zhou family patriarch, consuming several of his defensive talismans.

"Roar!"

The Zhou family patriarch went mad and summoned a magical artifact, a wordless seal. The seal grew larger in the wind, resembling a mountain, and pressed down on the two demonic beasts.

"Catch the hammer!"

Ji Cheng spat out a black hammer to A Niu, which was Situ Ying's first-tier Xuan weapon.

Ah Niu leaped into the air, caught the black hammer, and swung it down at the descending treasure seal.

boom!
In an instant, the black hammer and the treasure seal collided violently, unleashing powerful energy that sent nearby martial artists flying.

The Zhou family patriarch's expression changed drastically. He never expected that these demonic beasts would possess such a profound weapon. He was extremely surprised. Just who were these demonic beasts?

After Ah Niu grasped the black hammer, he was overjoyed. His fighting spirit soared, and he swung the hammer again, smashing it towards the blank seal!

A terrifying demonic power was released from the black hammer, and the wordless seal was smashed open, cracking and breaking free from the control of the Zhou family patriarch. It flew out and crashed into the barrier, where it was cracked even more.

The magical artifact was mostly destroyed, and the Zhou family patriarch was heartbroken. The power of these demonic beasts far exceeded his expectations.

A Niu didn't stop, swinging his black hammer and attacking Zhou Kuang fiercely, while the python demon sprayed corrosive liquid to seal Zhou Kuang's movements. The Zhou family patriarch had already exhausted more than half of his strength, and now, after taking several blows from A Niu, his blood and qi surged, and he almost couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Moo!"

Ah Niu's eyes lit up, and he spun three times in the air before slamming his hammer down.

The Zhou family patriarch had no choice but to summon another talisman, which immediately transformed into a golden bell shield to protect his body.

Click!

Ah Niu's hammer blow, with an unknown force of several thousand pounds, actually cracked the golden bell cover.

Seeing this, Ji Cheng felt that he should have given the black hammer to A Niu sooner, as the black hammer would greatly enhance A Niu's combat power.

However, it wasn't too late. Their own monsters weren't seriously injured, but they had managed to lure out all of the Zhou family patriarch's trump cards.

On Zhou Mu's side, after a fierce battle, he was also gradually becoming exhausted.

Seeing that his ancestor was no match for him, he quickly climbed a tree and shouted from a high vantage point:
"Stop! Stop it all!"

"Stop fighting! We don't know where that old blind man has gone. He's definitely plotting something. Let's stop fighting so we don't get tricked by him!"

This is indeed one of his concerns.

"That's right, stop! I think Young Master Zhou is right!"

Ji Cheng also shouted.

While he shouted for everyone to stop, he suddenly unleashed a demon-binding rope, taking advantage of the Zhou family patriarch's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack and bind the Zhou family patriarch's upper body.

The Demon-Binding Rope is also a low-grade magic weapon, capable of binding first- and second-tier demonic beasts, and naturally it can also be used to bind people.

The Zhou family patriarch was so angry that white steam billowed from his nostrils. He never expected that this chicken demon would be so insidious.

His hands and upper body were bound together. Ah Niu had already made a battle plan with Ji Cheng. He was not affected by Ji Cheng's shout to stop and smashed a hammer into the chest of the Zhou family patriarch.

“Good cooperation!”

Ji Cheng praised, saying that the Demon-Binding Rope could only bind the Zhou family patriarch for half a second to a second, and that A Niu was able to seize the opportunity and hit him with a single blow. Their cooperation played a decisive role in the battle.

The Zhou family patriarch was struck by the hammer, spitting blood from all seven orifices. Even though he was at the peak of the Meridian Opening Realm and his physical body was incredibly strong, his chest was still dented by A Niu's hammer blow, and he flew backward, crashing into and breaking six or seven trees.

"Ancestor!"

Zhou Mu cried out in anguish, almost weeping blood and tears.

Today's turn of events was something he hadn't anticipated. With an ancestor at the peak of the Meridian Opening Realm and the ninth level of Qi Refining, the Zhou family ancestor was the strongest person in the entire Zishui City, second only to the city lord Yan Lu.

I originally thought I was just here to kill Kong Shen and a few minor demons, but the current situation is that the Zhou family patriarch is about to be killed!
whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Ji Cheng gave Zhou Kuang no chance to catch his breath, flapping his wings and unleashing fifty or sixty feather blades to finish him off.

Zhou Kuang mustered his strength and channeled his inner energy into a powerful force, but he was still unable to completely block it, and seven feather blades still pierced deeply into his body.

Ah Niu leaped up and slammed the hammer down again!
The Zhou family patriarch sat on the ground with his back against a large tree. The hammer was aimed at his head. He was powerless to dodge or resist. His will to survive made him turn his head to the side.

The hammer struck his shoulder, the powerful force turning half of his body into a bloody pulp.

The light in the eyes of the Zhou family patriarch gradually faded.

Unforgettable scenes from his life flashed before his eyes, and he was barely breathing.

People stopped and looked at the dying Zhou family patriarch with great astonishment. These demonic beasts were too ruthless, actually trying to kill the Zhou family patriarch who had dominated the world.
Su Qing's breathing quickened. If the Zhou family patriarch were to perish, the Zhou family would surely fall from its position as the head of the four major families in Zishui City!

"Ancestor!"

Zhou Mu knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, then roared hysterically, "Old blind man, I want you dead!"

In his view, the current situation was all caused by the old blind man. If the old blind man had been willing to lend a helping hand, the ancestor would never have been killed by these three demonic beasts.

The old blind man possesses the strength of the ninth level of Qi Refining. What exactly is he plotting?
"Alas, Patriarch Zhou, you have greatly disappointed this old Daoist!"

Just as Zhou Mu finished shouting that he wanted the old blind man dead, the old blind man appeared. He walked out of the woods and ignored Zhou Mu.

With his last bit of strength, the Zhou family patriarch struggled to lift his eyes and glance at the blind Taoist priest.

"However, you did manage to catch a few big fish, so you deserve to die a worthy death and become the old Taoist's puppet!"

The blind Taoist took the gourd from his waist, chanted two incantations, and the Zhou family patriarch was sucked into the gourd.

Whoosh!
The process was swift, but Ji Cheng immediately unleashed a golden feather, extinguishing the last vestige of life in the Zhou family patriarch before he was sucked into the gourd.

Seeing this, the blind Taoist priest didn't care and said indifferently, "This physical body is already broken, it doesn't matter if you kill him, what I want is his soul."

Zhou Mu was stunned. What exactly was this old blind man trying to do?
When the old blind man was nowhere to be seen, he shouted, "Old blind man, I'll kill you!" But now that the old blind man has appeared, he doesn't dare utter a sound.

Even the Zhou family patriarch was trapped inside the old blind man's gourd; heaven knows what other tricks the old blind man has up his sleeve to deal with him.
