From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Page 619

The fastest way for them to find the mask is to take back the Hanafuda cards!

"Don't worry, I've brought in a master!"

As soon as Afen finished speaking, a tall man with red hair and a lion's beard entered from the entrance. He was two meters tall, with bulging muscles, covered in dark green scales, and had a pair of crescent-shaped horns growing from the outer sides of his eyebrows.

It was none other than Black Tiger Afu!

Like the Black Hand trio, he also works for the demon dragon and has also transformed into the "Dragon Man".

Furthermore, since Afu is a kung fu master who can fight against Chen Long without using the Eight Immortals Armor, after receiving the demonic energy, he spontaneously and actively controls the flow of the demonic energy in his body. Unlike Lasu, Afen, and Zhou Na, he is not limited to enhancing physical fitness and exercising abilities. He has already broken through the limits of humanity and reached another level.

"What a waste! I actually had to take action!"

Afu spoke without any politeness, ignoring the ugly expressions on the trio's faces, and leaped onto the performance stage, landing silently with light steps.

"If I capture you, I can threaten Chen Long!"

"Afu!" X3

On stage, Xiaoyu; off stage, Chen Long and his father, all spoke in unison.

However, the other audience members, unaware of the situation, assumed it was part of the performance and applauded.

"Why did the demon dragon send people here? We don't have masks or demonic energy on us!" Chen Long couldn't understand.

Snapped!

The old man was much more direct and forceful. He tapped Chen Long on the forehead with a finger and scolded, "Who has time to think about these things now? Get up on stage! Your niece is in danger! This is a good opportunity to test your Qi cultivation skills!"

"Yes, Dad!"

Chen Long rubbed his head, stood up, and apologized with a smile to the audience members whose view he was blocking. It took him a long time to walk to the entrance of the passage.

Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying were about to go on stage when they received a telepathic message from Jiang Liu: "It's not time yet. Go on stage later."

Immediately, their buttocks had barely left their seats by ten centimeters before they slowly sat back down.

Seeing this, the old man adjusted his small glasses, suddenly realized, slapped his forehead, and said, "I almost forgot, Jiang Liu is behind the scenes. No matter what, Afu can't stir up any trouble!"

Zhou said, "It's Chen Long!"

Rasu asked, "Do you need help?"

Ah Fen said, "Ah Fu can handle it."

At this moment, the trio noticed that Chen Long had set off, but because of A Fu's foul mouth earlier, they gave up the idea of helping him and decided to sit back and watch the fight.

The nearby audience didn't mind their lizard-man appearance—it was seen as a special performance costume.

Xiaoyu on stage also calmed down at this moment. Seeing that the puppet show was just about the scene where Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing were fighting against the Bull Demon King, she shouted loudly: "The Bull Demon King is fighting against Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing. Now, the Bull Demon King has revealed his true form. It's time for Tang Sanzang's three disciples to appear!"

Instantly, the puppets of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing flew up and landed right in the hands of Chen Long, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying.

"Xiaoyu, I'm here!" Chen Long jumped onto the stage, put down the Sun Wukong puppet, looked directly at Afu, circulated his Qi in the microcosmic orbit, and his whole body was full of vigor and rustling.

"Uncle Long, you misspoke!"

Xiaoyu complained.

"Huh? Oh! Bull Demon King, I'm going to bring you to justice today!" Chen Long glanced at the audience out of the corner of his eye and got into character in a second.

However, his tone was comical, lacking any heroic spirit of Sun Wukong, and instead conveyed a sense of deliberate reluctance.

Snapped!

Xiaoyu sighed, realizing that Uncle Long's usual humor was completely unsuitable for acting.

That's great!

The Monkey King has become a clown!

After Chen Long took the stage, Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying stood up from their seats and jumped onto the stage. They nodded to Chen Long, forming a triad formation that surrounded A Fu in the center.

"what!"

"Behold my Mantis Fist!"

Ignoring Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying, Afu aimed at Chen Long, stomped his foot, creating a hole in the stage, and lunged at Chen Long's chest, raising his arms like a mantis stalking a cicada, slashing downwards.

Fast, accurate, and ruthless!

If Chen Long had not fully opened his Ren and Du meridians and was not wearing the Eight Immortals Armor, he would not have been able to withstand A Fu's attack at all, but things are different now.

He squatted slightly into a horse stance, straightened his waist, and used his strength to move from his feet to his sacrum, then through his spine. He swung out one arm and used it to support Afu's mantis arms. With a soft shout, he released a burst of Qi energy and pushed it away.

"The Gazelle Leaps!"

Using the momentum, Afu leaped backward, performing a 360-degree flip in mid-air. He then aimed at Lu Jin and delivered a twisting kick, shouting, "Mule kick!"

Seeing this, Lu Jin raised his lips, neither using Qi transformation nor human magnetism, took two steps, each step like a lotus flower, and struck out with a palm, passing by the other's legs and feet, and then, as if a serpent coiled around, grabbed the other's knee.

Immediately, he bent forward and straightened back, dissipating the opponent's force and slamming Afu hard to the ground.

But Ah Fu, being a kung fu master, twisted his waist, braced himself with his hands, and in the midst of the spin, broke free from Lu Jin's deliberate loosening of his grip, and straightened his body—this was Xiao Yu's "final battle" in theatrical performance, and if it ended too quickly, the audience below the stage would not be satisfied.

"You absolutely cannot defeat Black Tiger... Black Dragon Afu!"

Afu stared at Lu Jin, realizing this guy was stronger than Chen Long. With a sinister grin, his demonic energy surged, forming a cyclical pattern, causing flames to erupt from the gaps between his scales, burning fiercely and unleashing a scorching aura. The audience gasped in amazement, praising the impressive "special effects" of the puppet show…

# Chapter 835 The Essence of Demonic Energy —

"Prepare to die!"

Afu roared, flames shot into the sky, and every move he made was filled with scorching power, but what was even more astonishing was his loud and boisterous moves.

Wielding claws in both hands, brandishing fiery blades, he reached for Chen Long's chest—

"This is the Angry Claw Flying Stars!"

Seeing Duanmu Ying rushing towards him, he twisted his waist and turned his neck, his long, red hair, resembling a lion's beard, whipping around like a fluttering banner—

"This is a horsehair swatter!"

Facing Lu Jin, he clasped his hands together and unleashed a crimson blade of light that sliced through the air, aiming straight for Lu Jin's eyes—

"This is Dragon Blade Eyeshadow!"

Facing the blade of light, Lu Jin dared not dodge, lest he damage the arena. He circulated his Qi throughout his body, took a deep breath through his nose, and softly uttered, "Zha!"

The breath of primordial energy, with its humming and hawing sounds, ultimately comes down to the word "vibration." By sensing the rhythm and uttering the word "Zha," one can dispel all evil spirits and shatter the supernatural abilities of others.

The Great Way is silent, yet it strikes the very soul.

Lu Jin can now use this move, but he's not as agile as Jiang Liu.

Even so, with that one sound, the light blade wrapped in flames shattered, turned into nothingness, and vanished into the air, leaving no trace.

Seeing this, Afu wasn't surprised. He simply slapped his head to regain his senses and then launched another attack, employing various physical movements and shouting out the names of his moves: "Sickle Removes the Weeds, Mouse Scratches Eyes, Whale Swings its Tail, Eagle Swooshes Shadows, Meteor Fist, Hawk Spreads Wings, Lion Bows to the Sky, Cheetah Gallops, Hawk Lands, Angry Duck Takes Flight, Mantis Fist, Snake Step..."

Upon careful counting, there was not a single name that was the same as another's.

This guy's talk is way better than his physical skills!

Lu Jin thought to himself, but his hands moved quickly. He grabbed the other person's wrist, spun it around once more, and slammed it hard onto the floor.

Tornado destroys parking lot!

Ah Fu sprang to his feet, using his toes as a pivot, and spun rapidly, transforming into a fire tornado several meters high that continued to spread outwards.

"This is bad."

Lu Jin's eyes narrowed, and he decided to end the performance. He released his magnetic field, which then transformed into a cloud-like mist that rotated counterclockwise around the fire tornado. He used his magnetic field to suppress the fire and prevent it from affecting the audience.

"Now!"

Chen Long seized the opportunity, his body also shimmering with a layer of Qi flames, and stepped into the Qi cloud, unleashing a punch.

Bang!

The burst of Qi energy struck Afu's cheek precisely, sending him spinning like a fire tornado and embedding him in the floor.

"hateful!"

Afu was shocked and furious. Just as he straightened his back, a kick came flying at him.

It's Xiaoyu!

With the circulation of Qi throughout the body and the coordinated movement of all nine orifices, he unexpectedly gained a natural understanding of Qi energy with a single strike. This allowed Qi to transform into power, flowing through the great dragon of the spine and erupting the moment it struck Afu's nose, directly blasting into Afu's brain.

Boom!

At this moment, Afu's brain swayed and bounced inside his skull like a rubber ball. He felt dizzy and fell straight to the ground, unable to get up again!

It was also because he was empowered by demonic energy and spontaneously controlled the flow of demonic energy within his body; otherwise, this one blow alone would have been enough to turn his brain into a pile of shredded tofu.

We won!

Xiaoyu was overjoyed, but she also realized that this was not the time to celebrate. She immediately coughed, faced the audience, and said in a serious tone: "And so, Tang Sanzang and his disciples defeated the Bull Demon King and continued their journey to the Western Paradise to explore the meaning of life!"

And their next adventure might just be the challenge that everyone present will face in the future!

"awesome!"

"What an incredible performance!"

"At first I thought it was just a children's puppet show, but I didn't expect there would be kung fu performance too!"

"Amazing action stunts!"

"The special effects are fantastic!"

"If they went to Hollywood, they would definitely become big stars!"

"..."

The audience spontaneously stood up and applauded enthusiastically, cheering for Xiaoyu, Chen Long, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying on stage.

When the curtain fell, Chen Long breathed a sigh of relief and, together with Lu Jin, lifted Afu and carried him backstage.

Jiang Liu immediately examined Afu's body and was amazed.

"Humans affected by demonic energy are worth studying."
