Chapter 614: Chapter 280 Jade Words and Jade Language_2

Blocking the way.

Chen Shi had already withdrawn his punch.

But his Taizhen Dao Body was indeed formidable. Chen Shi’s punch had only broken his Adam’s apple. Had it been another expert from the Divinity Transformation Realm, that punch would have sent the neck flying off the shoulders, leaving the lower body completely paralyzed. The fact that it only broke the Adam’s apple compelled Chen Shi to admire the uniqueness of the Taizhen Dao Body.

Both men were sitting on the wooden cart, very close to each other.

The space inside the wooden cart was small. In such a cramped space, it was hard to make room to maneuver. Yet as Chen Shi delivered his strike, as he withdrew his fist, the second strike was already on its way.

This punch was directed above the navel, where it met the ribcage at a bony point also called the xiphoid process. A single punch there caused Yu Lingzi’s internal organs to quake tremendously, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his body involuntarily bent over.

A chill ran through his heart. The Jade Ruyi moved as if it was his own will, yet it still couldn’t block Chen Shi’s punch in time!

As his body bent down, Chen Shi’s right hand had become thick and heavy and, carrying the sound of thunder, it struck the back of Yu Lingzi’s head.

By the time the Jade Ruyi flew in, Chen Shi’s hand had already retracted and still, it hadn’t blocked the punch.

His Primordial Spirit left his body, and Chen Shi had already jabbed two fingers into the sockets of Yu Lingzi’s eyes. Amidst critical danger, Yu Lingzi gathered thunder in his right hand, but before he could unleash the Thunder Law, Chen Shi’s Five Thunders Skill had already struck his Primordial Spirit in the face, blasting it out of the void!

Then, with another punch, a thunderstorm erupted, violently shaking Yu Lingzi’s Primordial Spirit, nearly causing his spirit and soul to separate!

Yu Lingzi internally cursed in despair, "I am going to die!"

He didn’t have time to think further, immediately recalling Qingyun.

Without support, the wooden cart immediately plummeted from the sky.

However, the cart remained unruffled, and with a whoosh, the Hua Gai opened on the frame of the cart, unfolding to half an acre in size, buoying it in mid-air, gently descending.

Chen Shi threw another punch, landing it in the clouds, completely void of any force. Emitting a light grunt, he swept out a leg, chopping at Yu Lingzi’s neck, but again it felt as if he was chopping into the clouds, utterly without resistance!

He flipped his hand and the Five Thunders struck out, with its thunder rolling into the Qingyun, yet still no force impacted Yu Lingzi.

Yu Lingzi seized the chance to flip up, feeling his internal organs severely damaged and his throat bone shattered, clogging up his airway. He quickly resorted to the Turtle Breathing Technique, breathing in and out through the pores of his skin.

His head was nearly split open by Chen Shi, the skull showing cracks, the brain nearly scrambled.

His Primordial Spirit had also sustained serious damage, barely holding together.

Yu Lingzi was both shocked and furious, he had greatly underestimated his opponent, nearly getting beaten to death by Chen Shi!

Chen Shi couldn’t help but marvel at how robust his Taizhen Dao Body was. He immediately took a step forward, and as his foot landed, the Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talismans burst forth from beneath his feet, forming two hundred and fifty-six talismans around them in an instant!

The Ten Absolute Formation!

He wanted to see if the Ten Absolute Formation could break through the Qingyun!

Yu Lingzi, hair standing on end and grinding his teeth, charged towards the exterior of the formation, feeling an acute urgency, "Why hasn’t Master Mei taken care of that black dog yet?"

In the underworld, the plum blossom deer, unable to contain its anger, was supposed to be a guardian Divine Beast at Taihua Qing Palace, having lived a thousand years and revered by countless disciples as Master Lu, possessing a noble status. It never expected to be dragged into the underworld by a mere black dog!

To it, this was an utter disgrace!

It must make that black dog pay a painful price for its stupidity!

Its body was draped with the banner that flew up, the deer standing on its hind legs with a human torso and a head topped with plum-like antlers, the blossoms vibrant.

Adorned with the banner bearing the thirty-six Star Lord talismans of Taihua Qing Palace, once activated, it was as though True Gods had reawakened with the thirty-six Star Lords revolving around it, aiding in battle!

Moreover, these Star Lords could form the Heavenly Gang Formation, possessing incredible power!

"Dog!" Master Mei roared, turning his head in all directions looking for that black dog.

At that moment, it saw a Demon Flame floating in front of it, swirling around a mountain.

Master Mei was inwardly shaken, raising his head, he saw the mountain-sized dog’s head slightly baring its teeth, staring down at him from a superior position.

Sweat even began to bead on Master Mei’s forehead, and on his antlers.

The unimaginably gigantic dog raised its enormous paw, placing it on his antlers.

Master Mei dared not move, feeling an irresistible pressure pressing down on his antlers, pushing them into the ground.

This was the underworld where beneath the ground was magma. Even if it scorched his legs, he dared not twitch.

Frozen in place, he watched the gigantic dog slowly retreat backward.

"What is it going to do?"

Master Mei’s eyes darted about, watching the giant dog move further and further away, thinking, "Run! Pull out your legs and run! Fleeing for your life isn’t losing face..."

He wanted to flee, but he lacked the courage to do so. His legs trembled desperately, as though they weren’t his own.

The giant dog retreated to a certain distance, lowered its head, and suddenly charged forward with a roar!

"It’s trying to ram me!"

Master Mei’s eyes widened, thinking, "That’s right! I ambushed it earlier, smashing into it, then provoked it and flung it away! It bears a grudge and is exacting its revenge! It’s alright, it has no antlers, it’s fine..."

The black giant dog roared as it charged, like a moving mountain, its head slamming into Master Mei!

With a deafening crash, Master Mei was sent tumbling into the air, both antlers snapped off his head, tumbling and flying more than ten miles, plunging into the magma.

While Master Mei was flung dozens of miles away, his fate unknown.

The black giant dog rushed past, then stomped ferociously on Master Mei.

Moments later, the black giant dog dashed out of the underworld, dragging along the two giant antlers.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the Ten Absolute Formation erupted, instantly a mighty flood of murderous aura swept the skies, two hundred fifty-six Divine forming the array, transforming into a vast slaughter calamity!

That Qingyun, the protective treasure bestowed by the head of the Taihua Qing Palace to Yu Lingzi, was an extraordinary item acclaimed for its exquisite softness, rendering it nearly impossible to grasp.

This treasure had saved his life multiple times. However, as the Ten Absolute Formation swept through, the Qingyun was instantly obliterated, looking as though it would engulf him, but suddenly the Ten Absolute Formation dispersed, Chen Shi took a step forward, seized Yu Lingzi by the neck, and hoisted him up, barking, "Will you cry or not?"

Yu Lingzi, utterly despairing, thought, "Why hasn’t Master Mei arrived yet? Master Mei..."

At that moment, Black Pot rushed out of the underworld, bringing two huge deer antlers.

Something seemed to shatter in Yu Lingzi’s heart, his eyes reddened, and he couldn’t help but let the tears fall.

Chen Shi slammed him onto the ground, barking, "What were you saying before? Repeat it!"

The wooden cart curiously opened its big eyes, revolving around those gigantic plum blossom deer antlers placed on it, each one vibrant and red.

The cart too was curious, growing six arms, lifting the antlers, and inserting them on the cart, one on each side.

Yu Lingzi watched as the cart, with two antlers inserted, bounced and hopped along the postal road, mimicking the bouncing and running of elks, similar to Master Mei, and couldn’t help a surge of sadness, tears streaming down like rain.

On the postal road, the stammering voice picked up.

"I started cultivating at six, topped the county examination at ten... it’s like standing in the heavens looking down at you, like an Immortal looking at a mortal..."

"I... cultivated the Taizhen Dao Body... the so-called Ruyi is as my heart wishes, at my heart’s command, any Taoist Skill, attacks, cannot come near my body..."

"I relied on the Taizhen Dao Body to travel across the West Bull New Continent... facing me is like your house’s dog facing my Taihua Qing Palace’s plum blossom deer..."

...

As he spoke, grief overcame him, and he wailed bitterly, lowered deeply to the ground.

"Repeat it again," Chen Shi said.

Yu Lingzi lay on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Just now, Chen Shi had realigned the broken bones in his throat and rummaged through his body for medicinal herbs, making him take medicine to heal his injuries, ensuring he wouldn’t die, then pressured him to recite the so-called "Jade Sayings," hitting him whenever he refused.

Black Pot observed, thinking, "The young master is learning bad habits from the old master. It takes two years to learn good from the old master, but only two days to learn bad."

It sighed deeply.

A four-year-old dog tending to a thirteen-year-old child was too difficult.

Chen Shi forced Yu Lingzi to repeat the Jade Sayings again, feeling satisfied, thinking, "So this is how Chen Tang felt when he made me recite."

He felt very pleased now.

He took the wooden cart and Black Pot and returned to West Capital City, no longer paying attention to Yu Lingzi.

Yu Lingzi cried for a long while. Just then, a gust of cold wind blew, and a massively struggling plum blossom deer, barely maintaining its magic, struggled back to the mortal world, crawling to his side before dispersing its magic and lying down heavily, panting.

Yu Lingzi was stunned, then overjoyed.

"He didn’t kill me!"

"Neither did the dog kill Master Mei!"

"What a great kind person!"

Ecstatic, he hugged the big deer’s neck and cried, refusing to let go.

Master Mei was panting heavily, his head bald, the spots where antlers once were, now left with two bloody pits.
