Chapter 156: Subduing the Peacock Maiden

Peach Mountain.

"Go tell your chieftain that Master Su has come to wipe out the clan."

"Yes, yes, yes, this little one will go report right away... right away...!"

Watching hundreds of his companions slaughtered completely, with all sorts of demon corpse fragments, entrails, and bloody internal organs scattered about, the eighth-grade monkey demon hurried up Peach Mountain.

Before long, a group of demons rushed down Peach Mountain.

Leading them was Niu Dadan.

He possessed the strength of a second-grade wild demon.

Following closely behind him were six demons with the strength of third-grade wild demons, including Niu Erdan and the female peacock demon.

Aside from them, there was a mob of rabble.

The leading ox demon was covered in black hair with a robust physique and fierce, crude facial features. Upon transforming into human form, he apparently failed to form human hands, retaining his four black ox hooves instead.

At this moment, he was looking up and down at Su Yang, the peach demon, and the green fox demon ancestor with a look of disdain.

As for Xiaoqian, Su Yang had already stored her inside his necklace.

Su Yang used the [Heaven-Masking Technique] to conceal his cultivation realm. To the ox demon now, he appeared to be merely a third-grade martial artist.

"You are Su Yang, the master of the Su family?"

Because Niu Dadan's limbs were hooves, making it difficult to use weapons, he wore a pair of fine steel gauntlets over his hooves, making him look immensely formidable.

"That's right, I am Su Yang."

"I want to ask, who was the one wanting to snatch my woman?"

"Step out, the two of us will have a single combat first!"

Su Yang stepped forward first, his tone brimming with killing intent as the atmosphere in the air instantly turned icy cold.

"Haha, it was this lord demon who took a fancy to your woman."

Niu Erdan laughed wildly and arrogantly, striding forward with his ox hooves to the front. "It is their blessing that this lord demon has taken a fancy to them."

"Su Yang, if you let this lord demon play with your woman properly, and once I grow tired of her, I will return her to you, and from now on we shall mind our own business."

"However, if you don't know what's good for you, stay here today."

"I heard you have many concubines, and every single one of them is as beautiful as a flower. Once you die, this lord demon will certainly enjoy them thoroughly."

The more Niu Erdan spoke, the more outrageous he became, the lewd smile on his face growing increasingly severe.

"Court death!"

Killing intent flashed in Su Yang's eyes as he rushed toward Niu Erdan first. Niu Erdan immediately turned serious; after all, the human before him was a third-grade martial artist, so he could not afford to be careless.

They were close!

In the air, a sense of ferocity seemed to collide.

"Surround them!"

Niu Dadan waved a hand, and his remaining subordinates immediately surrounded Su Yang, preparing to block all his routes of retreat.

...

"Swish!"

Dharmic Artifact: Blazing Sun Broadsword

[Blazing Flame Slash]

The next second, a broadsword appeared out of thin air in Su Yang's hand. As blood qi poured into it, a terrifying fiery poison energy crackled and exploded on the broadsword.

Seeing the Blazing Sun Broadsword in Su Yang's hand, Niu Erdan turned pale with fright. It was already too late to escape, so he could only step forward and cross his hooves in front of him to take the blow head-on.

His face turned completely pale as he felt the terrifying power radiating from the Blazing Sun Broadsword, and he cried out at the top of his lungs, "Brother, save me...!"

"Boom...!"

In an instant, Niu Erdan saw a sea of destruction. His entire body was engulfed by the fiery poison energy, and the terrifying dharmic artifact, the Blazing Sun Broadsword, severed his ox hooves and heavily slashed into Niu Erdan's body.

Blood sprayed wildly, and Niu Erdan's body was chopped directly in half, heavily crashing onto the ground. Entrails and internal organs spilled out in a messy cascade, and a thick, pungent smell of blood permeated the air.

Hitting the ground, his body caused the earth to tremble slightly as yellow dust filled the air.

Looking at his own severed lower half, Niu Erdan was frightened pale, feeling his consciousness growing increasingly hazy as he used both hands to scramble, trying to piece his lower and upper body back together.

"Brother...!"

Seeing this, Niu Dadan's expression changed drastically. Letting out a desperate, tear-wrenching scream, he immediately ran toward his brother.

[Blazing Flame Slash]

Su Yang let out a cold snort and savagely slashed down toward Niu Dadan.

"You're courting death!"

"A mere third-grade ant, how dare you cut down my brother? I'll have you die, I'll play with all your women until they die...!"

Niu Dadan's eyes were bloodshot as he charged toward Su Yang. Qi burst forth from his entire body, reeking of ferocity, and the air even produced faint ripples of shockwaves.

[Buddhist Small Golden Bell]

The next second, a small golden bell was seen hovering above Su Yang's head, chanting Buddhist scriptures while a phantom golden bell barrier manifested around his body.

His second-grade strength burst forth overwhelmingly.

Xiaoqian also emerged from her pendant and charged into the surrounding third-grade demons to slaughter them.

The peach demon also went to entangle another third-grade enemy.

"Ah, ah..."

Seeing Su Yang abruptly erupt with second-grade strength, Niu Dadan's eyes widened in horror. No wonder he could slaughter his brother so easily.

Daring not to be negligent, he unleashed all his strength to the limit.

"Bang!"

A violent explosion of colliding blood qi sounded, sending sand, stones, and mud flying in all directions.

Shaken by the terrifying shockwave, Niu Dadan's body was sent flying backward forcefully, a mouthful of old blood spraying wildly into the air. With the Buddhist Small Golden Bell protecting his body, the shockwave failed to cause Su Yang even the slightest bit of harm.

Pressing his advantage, Su Yang materialized right in front of Niu Dadan, his broadsword descending from on high.

Cut in two.

Just like his own biological brother, Niu Dadan's body landed heavily on the ground, except it was now in two halves.

Looking at his own lower half, his eyes were filled with terror and deep regret.

After that, everything became much easier to handle.

Among the remaining third-grade wild demons, two managed to escape, but the remaining three were completely subdued, including Niu Dadan's goddess, the female peacock demon.

The female peacock demon had suffered heavy injuries at this point, having been blasted away by the Blazing Sun Broadsword in Su Yang's hand, and she had lost all ability to fight back. The other two third-grade demons had already breathed their last.

"Don't kill me... I beg you not to kill me... If you don't kill me, I am willing to serve you like a beast of burden...!"

Watching Su Yang draw closer and closer, the female peacock demon felt growing terror, shifting her body backward while looking utterly wretched, yet somehow evoking a touch of pitiful sympathy.

"A peacock demon?"

"Can you lay eggs?"

Su Yang asked.

"Huh?"

The pretty-faced female peacock demon was slightly startled before she saw Su Yang take out a gu worm and say, "Eat it, and from now on serve me like a beast of burden, and I'll spare your life."

How could the female peacock demon let go of such a chance for survival? She hurriedly snatched the gu worm from Su Yang's hand and swallowed it down.

"Right, since you're serving me as a beast of burden, do you eat grass?"

"I do...!"

Blushing and biting her lower lip, the female peacock demon said, "Master, in human terms, this humble one is still an innocent maiden."

The ox demon lying on the ground who hadn't yet breathed his last felt as though the heavens had collapsed.
