Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 44 The Chicken King Dies

Soon, the cockfight began.

That cross-eyed old master must have some special skills. When he picked up the rooster and placed it in the arena, he secretly slipped a pill into the rooster's mouth while stroking its head.

This was the Exploding Body Pill that Zhou Mu had given me, diluted by one-tenth and reformed into a pill.

As soon as the pill was put into the chicken king's mouth, the chicken king swallowed it in one gulp.

Xu Dingsheng and the master craftsman exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves that the matter was settled.

The pill took effect immediately upon being swallowed.

The rooster king's fierce eyes instantly turned into something incredibly crazed and violent. The feathers on its neck stood up like needles, and for the first time, people felt such intense killing intent from a fighting cock.

The King of Chickens crowed and pounced directly at the Tyrant of Chickens!

This move resembled an eagle swooping down to catch a chick. Ji Cheng flapped his wings to dodge, but a few feathers were still pulled from his tail.

Without pausing for a moment, the Chicken King immediately turned and attacked Ji Cheng again.

Its speed and agility far surpassed any fighting cock Ji Cheng had ever encountered; its ferocity was beyond description.

The crowd cheered excitedly. This is the King of Chickens! He's so powerful! Master Zhao's fighting rooster could only run away with its tail between its legs!

"Holy crap, is this still a fighting cock? It's so fierce, is it on drugs?"

Ji Cheng's first thought was, "Did this chicken king take America's secret potion?"
This fighting ability has completely exceeded the upper limit of the black-necked chicken species. No other fighting rooster would be a match for it.

Ji Cheng was desperately dodging in the cockfighting arena. The rooster king was faster and stronger than him and was extremely skilled at attacking. He would be injured if he was not careful.

Of course, this is on the premise that Ji Cheng deliberately suppressed his strength to the level of [Poultry (Strong)], making him the king of fighting cocks.

To defeat this chicken king, he would need to at least demonstrate the strength of a [Raptor (Medium)].

After a few more rounds, Ji Cheng had two scratches on his body, and he could tell that this chicken king was definitely on drugs.

It was acting strangely, violent, ferocious, and insane, with bloodshot eyes, as if it had been possessed.

Ji Cheng quickly connected Xu Dingsheng's two cockfights and guessed that someone was setting a trap for Master Zhao and had made thorough preparations to ensure Master Zhao's defeat in this cockfight.

At this moment, Zhao Yan was stamping her feet in frustration, her heart filled with anxiety.

Master Zhao exclaimed that it was all over, that the difference in strength between the two fighting cocks was obvious to the naked eye, and his ever-victorious general did not look like he could win at all!
In the arena, Ji Cheng was indeed struggling to defend himself just by dodging the Chicken King's attacks, and he already had four wounds on his body.

He did not unleash the same formidable strength.

He noticed that the person in charge, Gong Lei, and several veteran masters at the Green Bamboo Gang's cockfighting arena had strange looks in their eyes.

These people have been immersed in the art of cockfighting for many years, so how could they not see the abnormality of that cock king? The reason they didn't point it out was probably because they had their own reasons.

If Ji Cheng were to defeat Chicken King with sheer strength at this moment, he would inevitably be suspected by Gong Lei and others.

Therefore, he quickly made a decision.

In this battle, we cannot fight with overwhelming force; we must win cleverly and defeat the strong with the weak.

Ultimately, no matter how powerful this chicken king was, it never developed sentience.

He guessed that America's secret potion must have a time limit, and he had many options. One of them was to stall until the effects of the potion wore off and the Chicken King started to have side effects, at which point he could easily defeat him.

However, this is a poor choice, as no one knows how long the time limit is.

Zhou Mu had told Xu Dingsheng that the duration of the Exploding Body Pill was about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, or about half an hour.

A cockfight usually ends in a few minutes, or at most ten minutes or so, and can't drag on until the effects of the Exploding Body Pill wear off.

But Ji Cheng was unaware of all this; he chose to win through cunning.

After dodging several times, he suddenly pounced and grabbed at the chicken king.

The Chicken King also leaped up at the same time, and the two collided in mid-air. Ji Cheng, who was at a disadvantage in terms of weight and strength, lost his balance and fell to the ground. At the same time, the Chicken King scratched two bloody marks on his body, causing him to suffer a great loss.

The cockfighting arena was littered with chicken feathers, most of which were dropped by Ji Cheng.

However, falling to the ground first meant that he would have the upper hand in the second flapping attack. He immediately flapped his wings again at the rooster king, who had just landed.

Ji Cheng reached down from the air towards the Chicken King's head, using its flapping wings as cover. In a place where no one could see, he slashed across the side of the Chicken King's head with his claw.

"what?!"

When the two fighting roosters separated, the onlookers were all shocked to find that the rooster king had one eye gouged out!
There was a one-inch claw mark on the head of the Chicken King, which had just blinded its left eye!

"How could such a coincidence happen?"

Xu Dingsheng was astonished. Zhao Erye's fighting rooster had actually injured the rooster king's eye with its flapping attack. Now, the battle situation was completely different.

With only one eye, the Chicken King had difficulty locating Ji Cheng, and its attacks missed several times in a row.

No matter how fierce you are, losing an eye will greatly reduce your fighting power.

Especially for creatures like chickens, whose eyes are on the sides, losing one eye means that the entire side becomes a blind spot.

Now Ji Cheng was much more relaxed. He seized the opportunity to counterattack, targeting the blind rooster king's left side and pecking it several times.

It's like kicking the cripple's leg hard.

Having taken the Exploding Body Pill, the Chicken King was already in a frenzy. Now, with multiple injuries, it attacked wildly, hitting nothing but air.

At this point, it's as if the chicken king is blind.

"How could this happen? How could this happen..."

Beside Xu Dingsheng, the cross-eyed old master muttered to himself, he couldn't believe that even the Chicken King plus the Exploding Body Pill couldn't beat Zhao Chongwu's fighting rooster.
"Master Zhao's fighting rooster is really lucky and extremely good at fighting."

Gong Lei commented, "I never expected that this weak golden rooster would win. What a wonderful cockfight!"

In the arena, Ji Cheng launched attacks by taking advantage of the Chicken King's blind spots. The Chicken King was soon covered in wounds, with blood flowing from many places, staining its feathers red.

The ground was covered in the chicken king's blood. Finally, it couldn't hold on any longer, its neck tilted to the side, and it collapsed to the ground.

The King of Chickens turned into a dead chicken.

The effects of the Exploding Body Pill hadn't worn off yet; its whole body was convulsing, and it kept kicking its legs, but unfortunately, it was too weak to stand up again.

Ji Cheng also suffered many injuries.

However, this was entirely for the sake of making the performance more realistic; the slight injuries were like a tickle to his demonic beast body.

Throughout the cockfight, he did not display any strength beyond that of an ordinary fighting cock. Even with a hundred pairs of eyes watching, no one could find fault with him.

"Of all the opponents I've encountered, you are the first fighting cock that has pushed me to this level."

"What a delightful battle! I'll probably never forget you, Chicken King."

Ji Cheng glanced at the still-breathing Chicken King, thinking about his dialogue with it.

I was just kidding, I forgot about it as soon as I turned around.

All I can remember is that chicken from Crazy Thursday.

Hey.
