Chapter 629: Chapter 626: Fox Concubine VS Gu Cultivator

As soon as the Gu Cultivator appeared, he sent the Ghost Princess flying, but Lin Tian was not concerned about that; rather, he was worried about the several shrines that the Ghost Princess had knocked over.

He counted them—there were six shrines, which meant that at least six Shishen were going to escape.

Six streams of blue smoke rose in succession, covering the whole section of the staircase so that it was impossible to see how the Fox Concubine was faring.

When the smoke dispersed, there was something new where each shrine had been; speaking of things, not all the Shishen that escaped from the six shrines were human.

Out of the six Shishen, four were human, and the remaining two were animals, one a wolf and the other a bird, which was unusual because it had two heads.

"Japan really is a bizarre place, even the birds are mutants, actually having two heads!" Lin Tian exclaimed.

"Lin Tian, you were so eloquent just now, I thought you were well-informed. You really don’t recognize this bird; it has quite the backstory," the Heavenly Master Girl said.

"I’ve seen the Two-headed Snake; it was bred by the Gu Cultivator, imitating Orochi. Miss Luoxi has seen it too, could it be that this two-headed bird was also raised by a previous Gu Cultivator?" Lin Tian wondered.

Ning Luoxi also nodded, confirming that she had seen the Two-headed Snake, and that Lin Tian was not lying.

The Heavenly Master Girl, with her face covered by a mask, was expressionless, but Lin Tian felt she clearly smiled.

She glanced at the two-headed bird and said, "This bird itself isn’t magical, but its ancestor is said to be the Ghost Car Bird."

"No way, the Ghost Car Bird, I know that. It’s mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas·Great Wilderness North that in the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain called Beiji Tianhuan, where the sea stops to the north. There is a divine being with nine heads, human yet with a bird’s body, named Jiufeng. The Ghost Car is the ancient divine beast, Jiufeng, originally a divine bird, but demonized by later people, hence named Ghost Car," Lin Tian simply couldn’t believe it, even citing ancient texts.

He continued, "If it weren’t for the two heads, I would have thought it was just a common chicken; it doesn’t resemble the Ghost Car at all."

Seemingly dissatisfied with Lin Tian’s remark, the two-headed bird raised its head to cry out and flapped its wings, taking flight. After reaching a high altitude, it suddenly dove towards the closest Gu Cultivator, seemingly ready to attack.

Despite appearing to be a common chicken, the claws of the two-headed bird were exceptionally sharp; anyone caught by them would definitely lose a chunk of flesh.

The Gu Cultivator had been observing these Shishen and didn’t expect the two-headed bird to suddenly launch an attack.

"Beast, get away from me!" the Gu Cultivator shouted angrily, his voice muffled by his mask, but Lin Tian could feel that he was extremely furious.

Probably because his own Half Zombie had been taken away, he was still angry.

But a beast is a beast; it wouldn’t just obediently listen, and the two-headed bird continued its ferocious attack.

Frustrated, the Gu Cultivator punched out, ignoring the bird’s claws, and with one punch sent the two-headed bird flying.

The two-headed bird flew up at an even faster speed, then fell straight down, smashing into the ground with a "smack," and without even struggling, it suddenly dissipated into a stream of blue smoke!

"Is this the descendant of the Ghost Car you spoke of?" Lin Tian’s eyes widened as the ferocious two-headed bird was unexpectedly annihilated by a single punch from the Gu Cultivator.

"It’s just a legend, after all. The ancient history in the Classic of Mountains and Seas can’t be verified by anyone," the Heavenly Master Girl stated, slightly surprised by the instantaneous death of the two-headed bird.

"Awooo..." Just as the two-headed bird died, the wolf howled to the sky, its eyes blazing green, and also charged at the Gu Cultivator.

Beasts are indeed beasts, forceful but mindless. The Two-headed Bird had already been killed in one punch by the Gu Cultivator, yet this wolf didn’t flee; instead, it counterattacked.

"Seeking death!" the Gu Cultivator said coldly. Without waiting for the wolf to approach, he charged forward, throwing a punch that struck the wolf squarely in the head.

The wolf tumbled down the stone steps, whimpering a few times before, like the Two-headed Bird, it dissolved into a wisp of blue smoke and vanished.

"Wow, how did the Gu Cultivator suddenly get so fierce?" Lin Tian exclaimed.

The last time he had competed with the Gu Cultivator was in the old district of the Capital City, where the Gu Cultivator had only used Gu techniques. Lin Tian’s first impression was that the Gu Cultivator’s Gu skills were formidable, but his martial arts seemed lacking.

But those recent punches had strength comparable to Ning Luoxi’s; this was nothing like the Gu Cultivator, more like a berserker.

"Lin Tian, have you noticed that the Gu Cultivator has become much more irritable than when he was in the greenhouse? He lashes out in anger so easily now," Ning Luoxi said with a frown.

"You’re right, I’ve felt it too. He seems to have an added malevolence!" Lin Tian also said, puzzled by how much a person could change.

"Youngster! Dare to hit me, seeking death!" the voice of the Fox Concubine suddenly rang out. She had just occupied the body of the man with sunglasses and hadn’t adjusted yet when she was flung away by the Gu Cultivator, clearly furious.

Moreover, her calling the Gu Cultivator a youngster wasn’t wrong; as a fox demon from hundreds of years ago, she was old enough to be the Gu Cultivator’s great-grandmother.

"We’ll see who is seeking death. No matter who you are, any attempt to possess my things means death!" the Gu Cultivator replied uncompromisingly, his voice chilly.

"Humph, don’t think just because the Fox Clan lacks combat strength they can’t fight. Prepare to die!" The Fox Concubine leaped off a rock wall, pouncing toward the Gu Cultivator through the air. Mid-air, her fingernails suddenly extended into long, sharp claws that gleamed coldly under the light.

Her way of fighting was entirely akin to that of a wild beast, yet since she was a fox demon, this form of attack was not only acceptable but perhaps even more effective than regular martial arts moves.

Because much of martial arts was evolved by observing animals and their movements.

The Gu Cultivator, not to be outdone, punched in his usual manner. His strength was something the Fox Concubine had already witnessed, having killed two Shishen in succession.

Just as the punch was about to land, she swiftly twisted her hands around, latching onto the Gu Cultivator’s wrist. Using the force of the punch, she darted nimbly like a fox, slipping behind the Gu Cultivator in an instant.

"Swish, swish, swish," the Fox Concubine’s sharp claws scored three quick strikes across the back of the Gu Cultivator, shredding a large piece of his robe. Not wanting to linger in battle, she performed several backflips to distance herself from the Gu Cultivator.

Sure enough, just after she retreated, the Gu Cultivator spun around with a whiplash kick that exploded through the air with a thunderous boom, indicating its immense power!

But the Gu Cultivator’s kick missed its target, the cunning Fox Concubine having already retreated. In their second exchange, the Fox Concubine gained the upper hand.

She possessed the cunning and shrewdness of the Fox Clan, now in the strong body of the man with sunglasses, her fighting strength skyrocketed from zero.

The four human Shishen that had just appeared saw the unfavorable situation and actually started fleeing down the stairs.

Ning Luoxi immediately connected a call to the outside, ordering, "Thunder Wolf, someone is escaping; the situation might get tricky, but don’t worry. Just use the talisman-enhanced bullets to shoot them down; don’t ask questions, stay cautious! Call ends."

It seemed the Heavenly Master Girl’s approach was very apt, enhancing the bullets for Thunder Wolf and his team with talismans. Demon Exorcism Skill was the bane of Shishen, and with their marksmanship, they were well-equipped to handle them.
