Chapter 159: Chapter 156: A Rage for a Beauty Chapter 159: Chapter 156: A Rage for a Beauty As for the Ox Demon King from Flower-Fruit Mountain, these past days he was utterly bored. So he decided to return to Cave Moyun. During this visit, his wife gave him a good scolding, and feeling stifled, he left without a word and headed back to Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Halfway through the journey, he suddenly heard the sound of the wind beside him. Turning his head, he saw a monk chasing after a beautiful woman.

The Ox Demon King glanced at the woman and was immediately attracted by her appearance. Secretly invoking his divine skills, he discovered that the woman was actually a fox spirit.

Upon seeing the Ox Demon King, the fox spirit couldn’t help but cry, “Great King ahead, please save me!”

Looking again, the Ox Demon King couldn’t help but burst into laughter. The monk chasing her was the Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light of the Buddhist sect, formerly the Long-eared Brightness Immortal of the Sect of Interception. The monk’s ears were astonishingly large, hanging over his shoulders like those of Liu Bei. This feature was not natural like Liu Bei’s, rather it was because his true form was a rabbit, and when he transformed into a human, his ears were much longer than a regular person’s. Besides some highly ranked Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who had long ears draping over their shoulders, the rest of the people in Buddhism had normally sized ears and lacked such grand destiny.

All Buddhas indeed were ranked, and this Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light was probably of the lowest rank in the Buddhist sect. He only gained the title of Buddha because he stole a magical treasure from the Leader of Heaven-Penetrating and suddenly betrayed him, which then earned him the favor of Zhunti and Amitabha. Otherwise, with his level of mana, it would be appropriate for him to have maybe the title of an Arhat.

The Ox Demon King said to the fox spirit, “Don’t worry, don’t worry! Hide behind me, and I’ll help you block this monk.”

Seeing an obstacle in the form of a minotaur midway, the Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light said, “Which land does this Great King hail from? This monk is on his way to capture this jade-faced fox to settle a matter. Please make way for me.”

The Ox Demon King replied with dissatisfaction, “You actually do not know who Old Bull is? Truly ignorant! You say you want to settle a matter with this jade-faced fox, but what exactly does this ‘settling’ entail?”

The Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light replied, “This is a matter of the Buddhist sect, not to be discussed lightly.”

Hiding behind the Ox Demon King, the jade-faced fox stuttered, “Great King, I originally hail from Qingqiu in the land of Yingzhou. Unexpectedly, a nine-headed serpent seized our dwelling and devoured all my sisters… I escaped from Yingzhou, and just happened to be seen by this monk, who said he wants to dual cultivate with me. Naturally, I was utterly unwilling. However, I am weak in mana and had no choice but to feign compliance. Taking advantage of his inattention, I fled. Yet, to my dismay, he caught up with me so quickly.”

“Good gracious! You monk, how dare you forcibly take a respectable member of the demon race in broad daylight! I can tolerate much, but this is unbearable!” the Ox Demon King exclaimed in rage.

The Ox Demon King really thought this jade-faced fox was exceedingly beautiful, and her pitiful appearance made her even more endearing, far better than the tiger mother at home by countless folds.

The Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light, seeing that the Ox Demon King was a brute, knew that smooth talking wouldn’t be enough and coldly said, “This has nothing to do with you. Step aside, quickly!”

The Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light might not have high mana, but he was still a Buddha. How could he degrade himself to talk to someone from the demon race like the Ox Demon King?

Upon hearing this, the Ox Demon King grew even more irritated and cursed, “You old monk can’t recognize good from bad. Today, you must see Grandpa Ox’s power!”

With a sneer, the Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light asked, “And what might impress Lord Buddha about your abilities?”

“You merely got your position by stealing the Six Soul Banner from Lingbao Celestial Venerable, and that’s about all the ability you have. For Old Bull to kill you, that would be all too easy!” the Ox Demon King cursed.

When the Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light heard the Ox Demon King mentioning his sore spot and shortcomings, his anger soared, and the Three Corpses Deity within him raged like thunder.

Among the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist sect, many are of average ability, obtaining their positions through special reasons. The Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light only had the cultivation of the Second Layer of Heaven of Da Luo Golden Immortal. Compared to other Bodhisattvas that appeared in the Southern Toad Continent, he was far inferior. Why would the Ox Demon King fear him?

The Ox Demon King himself had cultivated to the Second Heaven of Da Luo Golden Immortal, and having absorbed Gonggong’s Essence Blood, he became many times stronger. In Flower-Fruit Mountain, aside from Wukong and the Gold-Winged Great Peng King who had the most magical treasures, no one could compete with him.

The jade-faced fox said, “Be careful, Great King. This monk is skilled and not to be underestimated. If the Great King is no match for him, just hand me over. I do not wish for the Great King to be implicated on my account.”

Heart warmed by her words, the Ox Demon King couldn’t help but compare his tiger wife to this jade-faced fox, thinking they were as different as heaven and earth.

“Rest assured, little sister. With Old Bull here, this monk won’t succeed! Watch me slay this bald donkey to vent your anger,” the Ox Demon King declared.

The Ox Demon King grasped his Mixed-Iron Staff, charging directly towards the Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light, who now wielded a Demon-Subduing Pestle. As staff and pestle met, sparks flew in all directions. The Ox Demon King’s might was boundless, and the Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light was no match, sent flying with a single blow.

The Middle Ancient Times battle had many who did not participate, and the Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light was one of them. Pretending to be in seclusion, he avoided the war. Seeking to achieve a certain rank, he stole the Six Soul Banner from the Sect Hierarch of Heaven-Penetrating, a true opportunist who would never venture into such a perilous battle. Practicing the Delightful Zen Method, he required union with women to progress in cultivation. Enthralled by the allure of the jade-faced fox, he naturally couldn’t suppress his desire to dual cultivate with her. The fox, cunning by nature, feigned compliance with him, and just as he thought he had succeeded, she found an opportunity to escape. This infuriated him, prompting a long chase until he finally caught up, only to encounter an unexpected minotaur.

Having refined the vital blood of Gonggong, the Ox Demon King’s strength surged drastically, now even more powerful than before. Enjoying close combat the most, not even Yang Jian wielding the Eighty-Nine Mystical Techniques could likely stand as his equal!

The Ox Demon King unleashed a strike powerful enough to Force Split Mount Hua, sending Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light darting away in panic. He followed that with a sweep that could overthrow an army, the Mixed-Iron Staff swinging with a mighty wind so formidable that it warped the very void, twisting it into a helix. It could sweep away not just an army, but perhaps even ten thousand soldiers.

“This Minotaur’s strength is immense! Could he be the Great Strength Bull Demon King from Flower-Fruit Mountain?” thought Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light, secretly shocked.

The Demon King of Flower-Fruit Mountain was, of course, exceedingly famous, capable of standing toe to toe with the Heavenly Court—no ordinary feat, indeed. The Ox Demon King had only exchanged blows and already Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light felt a piercing chill.

They say to strike the courage first, and once you frighten someone that way, their full cultivation strength might only manifest to sixty or seventy percent. After these two blows, Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light kept his distance.

Jade-faced Fox, seeing how formidable the Ox Demon King was, finally felt relieved. After a long escape, she had met a powerful figure who could fend off the monk for her. Exhausted in both mind and body, she collapsed onto a cloud and gasped for breath, watching the fierce battle between the Ox Demon King and Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light.

With just one Mixed-Iron Staff, the Ox Demon King forced Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light to continuously step back. This brute fought with the principle of One Force Breaks Ten Thousand Laws; he didn’t care what Magical Treasure you threw at him—he would just muster his Great Strength Divine Power with his staff and smash it to pieces. His method had one word—overbearing! It was just outrageously overbearing.

A Dharma Body rose behind Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light, an achievement most from the Buddhist Sect cultivate. The power of the Dharma Body depended on one’s understanding of Buddhist Law and the amount of Incense Power and Wishes they accumulated.

The Dharma Body of Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light was leagues below those of Shiqi Buddha and Buddha of Immeasurable Life. However, it was indeed much more formidable than King Bodhisattva’s. As he raised his Dharma Body, various Buddhist Sect Treasures descended all at once, raining down with a crackle and pop.

The Ox Demon King bellowed furiously, shaking his head as if possessed. Ancient tattoos from the Witch Clan appeared on his body, and a giant shadow loomed behind him, resembling the Buddhist Sect’s Dharma Body. This shadow took the form of Gonggong, roaring as it surged forward. The Magical Treasures that struck it resulted in an eruption of sparks, but they could not disperse the immense figure.

“Witch God’s Water Thunder!” The Ox Demon King suddenly opened his massive maw and spewed out a giant water thunderbolt—the Divine Skill of Gonggong.

Within his vital blood were traces of Gonggong’s Divine Skills, and Witch God’s Water Thunder was among them. As it burst forth, it was overwhelmingly terrifying, smashing onto the Dharma Body of Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light with a thunderous explosion. Stripped of his Dharma Body’s protection, Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light found himself grasped by the rushing shadow of the Shaman God and immediately suffered a bone-deep wound, crying out in agony as he flew away, blood spurting from the gash.

“Take another one of my water thunderbolts!” roared the Ox Demon King as he spewed forth another giant water thunderbolt, targeting Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light.

Struck by the water thunderbolt, Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light barely managed to summon his Golden Body to resist, yet he was still blown into a bloody mess.

In excruciating pain, Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light howled, realizing it was a matter of life and death, and with no time to hesitate, he grabbed a handful of earth using Earth Escape to flee.

The Ox Demon King cursed, “Bald donkey, where do you think you’re going? Take another blow from my staff!”

The Ox Demon King’s staff suddenly swelled to the size of a column and came crashing down with a thud, shaking the mountain as if it had leaped from the earth, splitting the ground with a massive fissure.

Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light, who had escaped underground, couldn’t help but groan and spewed another mouthful of old blood, no longer seeking retribution against the Ox Demon King.

Irritated that he hadn’t forced his opponent to surface, the Ox Demon King thought he had let Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light get away. Suddenly, a sword light flickered into view, swift as lightning—leaving no time for thought—as it pierced the crack with a swish, and out flew a large head. Who else could it be but Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light?

The Ox Demon King cheered, swinging down his staff, and the head burst apart, brains scattering everywhere.

The newcomer was naturally one who had attained Enlightenment Dao, holding his blood-stained Seven Stars Sword. He spoke to the Ox Demon King, “Old Bull, when you kill, you should be swift about it. Letting him get away would only bring back a horde of Buddhas. How many do you think you can deal with?”

The Ox Demon King laughed heartily, replying, “However many come, that’s how many I’ll fight. What’s there to worry about?”

“How did you get into a fight with this monk?” Enlightenment Dao inquired.

The Ox Demon King turned and nodded toward the Jade-faced Fox resting on a cloud, saying, “I saw the old monk chasing after this fox. I couldn’t stand idly by, so I intervened.”

Enlightenment Dao saw who it was and thought, that’s the Jade-faced Fox!

It seems the Old Bull’s affair was inevitable…
