Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"Legend has it that Qiongqi is a god, an evil person, and a monster, three entities combined into one. Its form is like a tiger riding a dragon. It eats people, starting from the head, and those it eats are all disheveled. It only eats good people..." Lin Yaoxie calmly observed. He had heard many rumors about the Four Fiends before, and seeing them today, it was indeed as the rumors described. He couldn't help but sigh.

"I never expected the immortal to be so learned and talented." The Fox Emperor couldn't help but joke. After all, he was an elder, yet he knew less than a junior, and he actually developed a liking for Lin Yaoxie.

"Shh!" Lin Yaoxie covered the Fox Emperor's mouth. Qiongqi had already noticed this side and was flying towards them. Being in the air, it had a clear view of the area below and finally found its trace amidst the black and white scorched earth and withered grass.

Lin Yaoxie and the Fox Emperor looked up and saw Qiongqi flying in the air, sizing them up.

"Quickly, scold me!" Lin Yaoxie muttered softly, tugging at the Fox Emperor's sleeve and shaking it.

"Huh?" The Fox Emperor, who looked completely unaware, was puzzled by Lin Yaoxie's question.

"Rumor has it that this Qiongqi likes to eat people. When two people quarrel, the one who is right will be eaten, and the remaining bad guy will be rewarded by Qiongqi with a dead beast. If we are both wrong, it will definitely make it think for a while." Lin Yaoxie explained patiently.

"Why did you bring me to this desolate place for no reason? There's not even a sip of water for me!"

The Fox Emperor shoved Lin Yaoxie aside, seemingly understanding Lin Yaoxie's meaning. He couldn't help but admire the young man; so young, yet possessing so much intelligence.

If it were the Fox Emperor himself, he would surely have fought a fierce battle.

"If you hadn't insisted on coming, why would I have brought you here? Why blame me?" Lin Yaoxie feigned ignorance.

After a noisy commotion, Qiongqi watched with great interest and fell silent for a while.

Lin Yaoxie was waiting for the right opportunity.

Sure enough, after a short while, Qiongqi closed its eyes and it was unclear whether it was awake or asleep. Lin Yaoxie talked for a while longer and finally confirmed that Qiongqi was asleep. He flew over to check, holding a celestial-grade dagger in his hand. He walked to Qiongqi's body, snorted coldly, and plunged the dagger into Qiongqi's neck, slashing all the way to its tail. The movement was smooth and fluid, done in one go.

Qiongqi was startled and opened its eyes, its wrinkled face contorting into a fierce expression.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Main Character Has Arrived

"Not good!" The Fox Emperor leaped up, gathering his power at his fingertips to strike the head of the Qiongqi, thus ending the attack.

However, because Lin Yaoxie had cut open his stomach, his internal organs flew to the ground and poured out, instantly changing the color of the black and white grass. But it could not hide his fierce aura. Although Qiongqi had been dealt with, Lin Yaoxie could not let his guard down at all, because only now could they get to the main point.

Suddenly, the sky changed color, with dark clouds sweeping in from the north and south, quite domineering. Beneath the swirling clouds, two enormous figures were hidden, sweeping in at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"The main force has arrived!" Lin Yaoxie looked around warily, sensing that the aura around him was different. Neither the Daoji nor the Qiongqi had such powerful strength. Originally, the four ferocious beasts were evenly matched, but now, it seemed that the remaining Chaos and Taocan had appeared at the same time, which was a tricky matter.

"The real target?" The Fox Emperor looked puzzled. Originally, he was only here to retrieve the divine herb, but now it seemed like 04 had come to slaughter these four ferocious beasts.

Lin Yaoxie remained silent, focused solely on killing Taocan, and had no other thoughts.

The two ferocious beasts drew closer and closer, their appearances gradually revealed to everyone, and they were quite terrifying.

"Legend has it that Taocan is the fifth of the nine sons of the dragon. It has the appearance of a human face and a sheep's body, with eyes that reach down to its armpits, the teeth of a tiger, and the hands of a bear. It can swallow mountains and rocks in an instant. It is also the most gluttonous beast in history. It is said that it is so gluttonous that it will not even spare its own body." Lin Yaoxie looked at a headless monster in front of him and whispered to the Fox Emperor.

"Oh... then what is that?" Although the Four Fiends are ancient beasts with a far-reaching reputation, the Fox Emperor had never seen them before, so how could he distinguish which one was which? He found Lin Yaoxie's explanation novel and had never heard it before.

"If I'm not mistaken, then it is Chaos. It is motionless and covered in long hair, so there's no need to be too afraid of it. Although it has eyes, it is blind. It has feet and legs, but it cannot walk. It is huge and rumored to be easily manipulated by bad people. So, to deal with Chaos, you just need to use your brain."

Lin Yaoxie pursed his lips and took out the Crimson Flame Sword. Although he already had a way to deal with Chaos, dealing with Taoxiang would definitely be a fierce battle.

"These rumors are quite interesting. This is the first time I've heard them. All I know is that these are the Four Fiends, who inherited most of Father God's power." The Fox Emperor shook his head and smiled helplessly.

So what! Lin Yaoxie is going to be the ruler of the world in the future. If he can't even deal with this little ferocious beast, won't he become a laughing stock?

"Oh?" The Fox Emperor agreed, getting up to examine the feast, curious to see what was going on and how to deal with it.

But all that could be seen was a large head devouring the corpse of Qiongqi. Although Qiongqi was dead and had lost all its spiritual power, the gluttonous creature ate without discrimination. In just a second, the corpse of Qiongqi disappeared from sight, as if nothing had happened, and the world returned to peace.

Lin Yaoxie grinned, looking at the unrestrained giant head, and for a moment he couldn't think of any way to deal with it. He had originally planned to take the heads, claws, tiger teeth and skin of these beasts after they died, and make a big fuss about them, but he never expected to be swallowed by this glutton.

"How about..." Lin Yaoxie had a flash of inspiration, turned around and pulled the Fox Emperor down to sit. He glanced at Chaos, who was still fast asleep, completely unaware of what was happening here. Unlike Taocan, who was greedy, Chaos was like a hill that hadn't moved for a hundred years, unmoved by thunder.

"But what countermeasures do we have?" Seeing that Lin Yaoxie was not flustered at all, the Fox Emperor felt a sense of security and was not afraid of what might happen next. "This person will surely achieve great things in the future!" The Fox Emperor murmured to himself, but did not tell Lin Yaoxie about his thoughts.

"Hmm, this Chaos is incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, so how could it care about a feast? If we go now and interfere, we might be able to make it work for us?" Lin Yaoxie said as he fearlessly walked towards Chaos.

Although the Fox Emperor was skeptical, he had gained a clear understanding of Lin Yaoxie's strength in a short period of time and had no choice but to follow closely. Moreover, he was not certain that he could obtain the Divine Herb by himself.

Just as Lin Yaoxie was about to approach Chaos, the sky gradually darkened. Although Chaos was immobile, as one of the Four Fiends, it must have its reasons, so it should not be underestimated.

Lin Yaoxie reached out and placed the Fox Emperor behind him, protecting the Fox Emperor's life as much as possible. Although he was angry about the previous disdain for him, he had to hide it in his heart. At this critical moment, the most important thing was to kill these four ferocious beasts to ensure the safety of the region.

Lin Yaoxie also knew that after this incident, the Fox Emperor would definitely change his opinion of him, and it would be easier to discuss his marriage with Bai Qian in the future.

Ahead was a spring, exceptionally clear and clean. As the sky gradually changed, the color of the water also changed. Lin Yaoxie was puzzled and went closer to investigate. The spring was bottomless, but black liquid gradually gushed out from the bottom, gradually staining the spring water. The originally clear spring water gradually became turbid.

Lin Yaoxie's hands gradually became covered with fine beads of sweat. He could feel the sky getting hotter and hotter. The water at the bottom of the spring began to boil, and the layer on the surface turned into black mist that began to spread to every part of this illusory space, almost blinding people.

"107 Indeed, this Chaos is quite capable!" Lin Yaoxie smiled with satisfaction, waving the crimson flame in his hand while summoning the system. At this crucial moment, he definitely needed a...

Only with divine assistance can it be achieved.

"System! It's not in hibernation again, is it?" Lin Yaoxie mocked. If it weren't for this crucial moment, why would he need to use the system? He had only wanted to rely on his own strength to see what level he could reach recently, but now it seems he still needs the help of this heaven-defying system.

“Host!” A slightly hoarse voice, a familiar mechanical tone, flooded my mind.

"I'll borrow the Chaos Pearl for a bit! I'll take it, you won't ask for Demon King Coins, will you?" Lin Yaoxie had been tricked by the system countless times, and now he had to be careful to feel at ease.

Although the system did not respond, a red bead the size of a glutinous rice ball appeared in Lin Yaoxie's hand, which must be the Hunyuan Bead.

Lin Yaoxie was overjoyed; this mission seemed promising.

Lin Yaoxie placed the Chaos Pearl between his hands, and with the catalysis of spiritual power, it gradually emitted a red light, and the pearl became crystal clear. With the catalysis of spiritual power, the surroundings gradually became darker. When the time was right, Lin Yaoxie returned his hands to their original state and extended his fingers with one hand. Following Lin Yaoxie's instructions, the Chaos Pearl was gradually placed at the bottom of the spring where he had just been.

Chapter Thirty: Defeating Them One by One

"This is the Chaos Pearl? You used it to expel the malevolent energy and seal the spring!" The Fox Emperor clapped his hands and cheered. Such a treasure was rare even in the Nine Heavens. He had only heard of it before. Who would have thought that this yellow-haired brat Lin Yaoxie would have such a treasure? It was truly astonishing.

"Hmm!" Lin Yaoxie didn't say much. He couldn't reveal the origin of the Chaos Pearl, even though he knew the Fox Emperor was curious.

Just as one wave subsided, another arose. Just as the malevolent energy seemed to have dissipated, Chaos slowly opened its eyes, perhaps startled by the considerable commotion.

Lin Yaoxie and the Fox Emperor, positioned below Chaos's eyes, were smaller than half the size of Chaos's eyeball, while his prized sword, Crimson Flame, now appeared so insignificant.

"Chaos, let's discuss this. I want to become the overlord of the world, and I want to make everyone suffer. Can you help us?" Lin Yaoxie was straightforward. If he tried to play riddles with this ferocious beast, he would probably just become its meal.

His chaotic gaze gradually became unfocused, making it impossible to discern his thoughts, yet he showed no great anger, seemingly observing the two of them.

I'm afraid Lin Yaoxie's words are not enough to convince Chaos, and we will definitely need to come up with some other methods.

Lin Yaoxie turned to look at the distance. Taocan was still in the same spot, waiting for some delicious meal in its belly, lingering there for a long time.

"Look, what's that!" The Fox Emperor exclaimed in surprise, pointing to the sky.

Lin Yaoxie looked in the direction the Fox Emperor pointed and saw a faint golden light emanating from the horizon, which was dazzling. They hadn't noticed it earlier.

"What is that?" Because it was too far away to see clearly, Lin Yaoxie did not dare to be 100% sure that it was the Divine Herb. He could only find an opportunity to examine it up close before he could draw a conclusion.

The Fox Emperor remained silent, exchanging a glance with Lin Yaoxie, as if they both understood what the other was thinking. They nodded to each other and took to the air. Lin Yaoxie gave the Fox Emperor a look, and they instantly understood, deciding to split up.

The two of them appeared in the air out of nowhere, which must have attracted the attention of the gluttons. The big head turned and rushed over. It was said that the gluttons were delicious, and now that they saw them, it was indeed true. They would definitely make them their food.

Lin Yaoxie flew towards the horizon on a cloud, while the Fox Emperor tried every means to stop Taocan.

Just as Lin Yaoxie was about to approach, the originally quiet Chaos became restless. The Divine Herb was a sacred object guarded by the Four Fiends. Although Lin Yaoxie had not yet seen it clearly, he was 80% certain that it was the Divine Herb.

The rocks shattered, and the demonic forest tumbled through the air many times before finally stopping.

"Chaos has no seven orifices. Humans have seven orifices and can see, hear, eat, and breathe, but Chaos cannot. If one orifice is carved out each day, Chaos will surely die. We must not be careless. The four ferocious beasts each have their own abilities, so be extremely careful!" Lin Yaoxie warned the Fox Emperor. Although Chaos is dull-witted, it never treats the loyal and virtuous with disdain.

The Fox Emperor was dealing with the gluttonous feast, and his face was already in bad shape. It seemed that the feast must have some real skills. After all, the Fox Emperor was a local overlord, yet he had ended up in such a sorry state.

Lin Yaoxie did not examine the Divine Herb, but he was certain that it was the Divine Herb that had caused Chaos to be restless and gluttonous.

To obtain the divine herb, one must first take the lives of these two ferocious beasts.

Lin Yaoxie gripped the Crimson Flame Sword tightly. The fiery red blade was majestic and sacred, and the sword energy surged forth, dyeing half the sky red. Without the support of powerful spiritual energy, how could such a phenomenon occur?

The sword energy struck, and Taocan, caught off guard, was cleaved in two, though not fatally. Perhaps sensing Lin Yaoxie's power, Taocan retreated repeatedly, ultimately defeated by Lin.

The demon and the fox emperor were cornered, revealing their previously unseen sheep-bodied, human-faced forms. They were enormous and ugly, truly a symbol of greed.

The giant mouth continued to devour everything without restraint, trying to find a way out and greedily enjoying everything. Finally, it stumbled to the door. The bloody pulp of the Prayer Machine, which had been torn apart by Lin Yaoxie and the Fox Emperor, was still in the distance. The glutton rushed over and, with just one bite, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. Not only did the pulp disappear, but even the three-foot-deep stone was swallowed into its belly.

"So powerful..." Lin Yaoxie swallowed hard. If he couldn't withstand that huge mouth, he would be reduced to ashes in the end. "You, you go." Lin Yaoxie pushed the Fox Emperor beside him. It wasn't that he lacked confidence in his strength, but seeing that ferocious, blood-red maw and smelling the delicious feast that permeated the area for miles around was truly unpleasant.

The Fox Emperor looked at Lin Yaoxie. He thought, "Those guys were brave, so why are they so timid now?"

He summoned a sword from his sleeve with one hand and smoothed his stray hairs with the other. Just as he was about to attack, the glutton flew straight toward Lin Yaoxie, perhaps already considering him its meal.

"Watch out!" the Fox Emperor shouted, dodging repeatedly. Even if he wasn't eaten, if he were hit by that big head, he would have to go into seclusion for ten days or half a month to recuperate.

Lin Yaoxie's expression suddenly changed. His previously tired look suddenly became full of energy. He picked up the Crimson Flame Sword and swung it down. The fiery red sword energy was released, and the stone wall in the distance was smashed to pieces, but it did not hit Taocan.

Lin Yaoxie panicked, but Taocan was nowhere to be seen. However, the foul stench lingered for a long time, indicating that Taocan had not gone far.

"Watch out!" With the Fox Emperor's shout, the stench grew even stronger.

Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but gag. "How long has it been since I last rinsed my mouth to detox?"

As his vision grew increasingly dim, Lin Yaoxie turned his head and saw that the gluttonous beast was about to swallow him whole. Its drool was already dripping onto Lin Yaoxie's hair, a sticky, dark green substance that emitted a foul stench.

Lin Yaoxie wiped away the saliva. His clothes were now tattered, and his loose hair had turned to ash and scattered in the wind. If that saliva had dripped anywhere else, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"My handsome face was almost ruined by you ugly thing!" Lin Yao cursed, but did not avoid the gluttonous mouth. Seeing that he was about to be taken off, the Fox Emperor's heart was in his throat.

"Sizzle..." A hoarse sound of piercing was heard. The Fox Emperor looked up and saw that the Crimson Flame Sword was firmly stuck in the glutton's mouth, stopping its big mouth. After all, the Crimson Flame Sword was a divine weapon. If it were any other weapon, it would probably have turned into a pool of molten iron long ago.

Seeing that Taocan had stopped moving, Lin Yaoxie pulled out the Crimson Flame. The Taocan's head had been pierced, and black blood flowed out along the Crimson Flame, staining the ground and emitting an unbearable stench.

The severely injured gluttonous creature cried out, fearing the cave could no longer hold on, and began to sway, unable to stand firmly on the ground.

"Go quickly!" Lin Yaoxie shouted, pulling the Fox Emperor into the air. In an instant, the cave transformed into a small mountain made of rubble. Taocan was buried under the mountain and became still. The stench still lingered in the air, but it had faded considerably. The space that had been hidden by the cave was now exposed. The Chaos in the distance remained calmly at rest, seemingly oblivious to everything that was happening before their eyes.

Chapter Thirty-One: Finally Obtaining the Divine Herb

"Congratulations, host! The mission to kill the Gluttonous Feast is complete. Reward: 5000 Demon King Points!" The system's mechanical voice slowly entered Lin Yaoxie's ears.

"After using Zhenyuan Pill, we were penniless. Finally, the Demon King has given us a chance!" Lin Yaoxie complained bitterly.

"What did you say?" the Fox Emperor asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Lin Yaoxie waved his hands repeatedly. If this kind of cheat-like ability were known to everyone, wouldn't he be regarded as an outcast and hunted down?

Upon thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie covered his head with his hands and shook it repeatedly.

"We must outwit this Chaos! We cannot kill them all!" The Fox Emperor could not bear it. After all, these were the four ancient ferocious beasts, carrying so much divine power from the Father God. If he were to exterminate them all for his own selfish reasons, wouldn't he be condemned by the people of the world?

"This is not up to us. If this thing wanted to take our lives, would we still think this way?" With a few light rebukes, Lin Yaoxie soared into the clouds. Every second counted, and they couldn't afford to stay here.

The child is being silly.

Upon reaching the top of the space, a massive barrier restricted the movement of the ferocious beasts and also limited the way out for ordinary people. Without the ability, coming here would only lead to certain death.

Below, everything was a fiery red. Chaos raised its head, biting its own tail, or perhaps sensing danger, and became alert in all directions.
