In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 76 A God-Slaying Roar, A Universe Within the Belly
He was in his fifties, with a slicked-back hairstyle and a plump figure.

He was walking back and forth around No. 86 with his hands behind his back, like a leader on an inspection tour.

Thank you, Lao Gua!

Several people followed behind him. Xie Lingxin recognized one of them: the big mudfish with the tattooed arm, and the so-called elders of the Xie clan.

There was another unexpected person, Ma Fei's father, Old Ma.

Most of the residents at No. 86 have moved out, so Ma Fei's family should have moved out as well.

Xie Lingxin rode her electric scooter back, and naturally they saw her.

Xie Laogua noticed his uniform at a glance, and his pupils constricted.

"Uncle Ma, what brings you back?"

Xie Lingxin acted as if she didn't see anyone else, and simply greeted Old Ma.

No one spoke, but the tattooed mudskipper, his face contorted with malice, yelled, "Hey kid, can't you see anyone? Have you forgotten your manners? Can't you greet people?"

"Tsk~"

Xie Lingxin picked at her ear with her little finger and flicked non-existent earwax at the tattooed loach.

"Uncle Ma, where's Ma Fei?"

Turn a blind eye.

Iron Mudfish couldn't stand this insult. He was about to make a move when Xie Laogua grabbed him and glared at him fiercely: "Shut up!"

He turned to Xie Lingxin with a big smile and said, "Xie Lingxin, it's been a long time. You've become more and more beautiful."

"Chi~"

Xie Lingxin made strange noises and ignored him.

"Damn it! You little brat! You're asking for it!"

Iron Mudfish couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped around Xie Laogua and raised his hand to strike Xie Lingxin with a palm.

Xie Lingxin was waiting.

That slap from that big tattooed arm last time really hurt him for a long time. Little Xie is not petty, and he's kept it in mind.

If you don't make a move, I really can't take the initiative to beat you up.

With each step forward, power originates from the root, penetrating the fist's edge, its momentum rising like a towering peak.

Nine Peaks Style!
"boom!"

The iron loach flew out with a scream.

Before Xie Lingxin entered the Domain Realm, her cultivation level was already no weaker than Tie Niqiu's, but she had never learned martial arts fighting techniques and suffered a setback last time.

Now that his life has improved and he has even learned the Nine Peaks Style, what can the Iron Loach use to defend against him?
Finally, I got my revenge for that slap.

But an eye for an eye is not his style; to bully someone is to bully them to the death and to beat them when they're down.

Before she even landed, Xie Lingxin took two steps forward, appearing like a ferocious beast in everyone's eyes. Her fists whistled through the air, seemingly capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks.

"stop!"

Two loud bangs, then a splat!
The iron loach was hit against the building wall and clung to it for a while before slowly sliding down.

He lay sprawled on the ground, his face still showing terror, water slowly seeping from the floor beneath him.

"Hey, Xie Laogua, are you calling me?"

Xie Lingxin waved her hand, as if she had only realized it belatedly.

Xie Laogua's masseter muscle twitched.

Looking at Tie Niqiu's wretched state, he sighed, "Little Xie, we're from the same clan, so you're practically brothers."

“Mudfish has behaved badly, and it’s right for you, as his brother, to teach him a lesson. So spare his life.”

Xie Lingxin pursed her lips. He never intended to have a tattooed arm like a mudfish; there was no need for it.

He's been law-abiding for two lifetimes; he wouldn't act so recklessly, resorting to violence and murder at the drop of a hat just because he's gained some power.

If you can't even control this little bit of anger, what kind of cultivation are you doing?

Seeing his expression, Xie Laogua knew he had a chance, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot and said to Old Ma, "Old Ma, I agree to what you said. I'll give you the money in advance."

Old Ma was overjoyed and rushed over, saying, "Thank you, village chief! Thank you, village chief!"

Xie Lingxin, as expected, ignored the tattooed mudskipper and asked, "Uncle Ma, what's going on?"

His family is supposed to be quite wealthy, right? They just signed a demolition compensation contract, so why do they seem to be short of money?
"It's nothing, Xie Lingxin, thank you."

Old Ma knew that Xie Laogua's decisiveness was due to Xie Lingxin.

I feel deeply moved.

He used to look down on this kid the most, but he never expected him to be so successful now.

Iron Loach is a high-ranking fighter in the Iron Scale Gang and the only cultivator in Thunder Village. Yet now he's being beaten like a dead loach by Xie Lingxin, a mere teenager.

Even Xie Laogua had to curry favor with him.

Xie Laogua said, "You should go quickly, don't delay. I'll have someone transfer the money to your account right away."

"Hey!"

Old Ma nodded repeatedly, thanked Xie Lingxin again, and then hurriedly left.

Xie Lingxin looked at Xie Laogua, who sighed, "I didn't make things difficult for him, it was Ma Fei."

"This old man, I don't know where he heard it from, found some so-called spiritual master to tutor Ma Fei in basic visualization techniques,"

"Tell him that you can extradite him into the realm within three days to absorb the power of legend and cultivate a divine consciousness,"

"Old Ma believed it and spent all his family's savings. As a result, Ma Fei was mentally damaged by that swindler and almost became an idiot. He is still lying in the hospital unconscious."

"..."

Entering the Realm of Power in three days, absorbing the power of legend...

Every single point seems so ridiculous and absurd to Xie Lingxin now; only an ordinary person who has never been exposed to cultivation would believe it.

Ma Fei, that kid... sigh!

Xie Laogua added, "You don't need to worry too much. With the current level of medical care, as long as someone isn't dead, they can be saved if you have the money."

"Old Ma's compensation for the demolition hasn't arrived yet. He just came to beg me to urge him to pay it. That's the Thunder Group. How could I possibly have that kind of influence?"

Xie Lingxin frowned: "Then just now...?" "After all, I am the village chief, so it is only right that I give him a little something to tide him over."

Xie Laogua spoke casually.

If Xie Lingxin hadn't known him well, she would have been genuinely moved.

This behavior is just for his own benefit.

Those few punches just now wouldn't have been enough to make him like this.

Xie Lingxin looked down at herself.

It's the power of this uniform that's so effective.

"You tattooed mudskipper, I'll let bygones be bygones, but don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Xie Lingxin grinned at the iron loach, showing her white teeth.

"Village chief, see you later!"

He waved casually and rode off on his electric scooter.

Xie Laogua let out a long sigh and glared at Tie Niqiu with annoyance: "Useless thing!"

"..."

Iron Loach is now dumbfounded, terrified.

……

Xie Lingxin went directly to the city hospital and found Ma Fei, who was still unconscious. The doctor said that he had suffered a mental breakdown and that it could be treated with money, so it wasn't a big problem.

Only then did he leave the hospital and head to the city center.

Bestone's branch office is located in the most central and bustling area of ​​Leizhou, which is quite far from here. It takes more than half an hour to get there by subway.

It was already afternoon when they arrived, but fortunately, the gossip was very efficient and Xie Lingxin successfully stored the essence of the seven emotions without much effort.

By having Bestone handle the process, you don't need to upload the authentication certificate yourself, saving you a lot of steps.

The last stop was Guanyin Temple.

……

at the same time.

Seven Star Academy.

A conference room somewhere.

Most of the prominent figures in Leizhou gather here.

The leader was still the sprightly old man with white hair.

"Let me first tell you about the results of this exploration in the realm."

"It's almost certain that the Nine Mountain King is a thousand-year-old snake demon from the Great Black Mountain,"

"Originally a great demon from the mountains, more than ten years ago, he encountered a fortune teller who called himself the Old Man of Nanshan. The fortune teller told him that he was a 'True Dragon Son of Heaven',"

"From then on, the snake demon regarded the fortune teller as its strategist, and in the name of the true dragon emperor, it gathered thousands of demons under its command, plundered the surrounding people, and used them as soldiers numbering in the tens of thousands."

He paused, then continued, "These things are meaningless to us. The main issue is that this snake demon is not only physically powerful, but also possesses extremely high magical power, capable of summoning wind and rain, and causing mountains to crumble and the earth to split."

"Even the Prince of Nanyang, who is comparable to a titled martial artist, couldn't do anything about it,"

"Our martial arts masters and spiritual masters from Leizhou, working together, are not afraid of its ability to summon wind and rain and shatter mountains and split the earth,"

"But it possesses two supernatural powers! One is called 'The Roar of Shocking Gods,' which can completely rob a person of their sanity with a single roar,"

"The other gate is called 'Universe Within the Belly,' which can absorb all things. If a person falls into it, they will turn into pus and blood within a short time."

"These two supernatural powers, when combined, can make people fall into its belly without them even realizing it. Our people have already suffered losses from this several times."

"This snake demon possesses two supernatural powers that no one can break. Even the King of Nanyang dares not confront him head-on."

"However, this snake demon is of great significance to the cultivation world of Leizhou. Aside from anything else, the thousands of demons under its command offer the potential to obtain legendary power, precious materials, and other valuable items,"

"It can at least train a dozen or so fifth or sixth-dan masters for Leizhou, and maybe even one more titled martial artist or spiritual master,"

"The snake demon itself can be made into a visualization diagram, adding another ten-direction level visualization diagram to Leizhou, and it is very likely that we can obtain its supernatural powers."

Everyone already knew about this news.

But hearing what Mr. Fan said still sparked much discussion.

One title is enough to make Leizhou stand out in the Far East region.

Competition exists between different regions, and even between different administrative stars.

Resources are limited; if we don't fight for them, where else can we get them?

In addition to internal competition, there is also the task of "defending against external enemies".

These all require more experts.

If one can obtain it, it means that the hope of attaining enlightenment has increased even further.

One person said, "Elder Fan, is it possible that even your portrait of the Human Emperor couldn't subdue that snake demon?"

Old Fan shook his head: "The portrait of the Human Emperor cannot be separated from the Seven Star Grotto Heaven."

The man remained silent.

He knew that the place was inseparable from the suppression of the Emperor's portrait, but he was only somewhat lucky.

Even if it's just for a short while, dealing with a level 28 thousand-year-old snake demon is a piece of cake.

Old Fan looked to the side and said, "Xiao Dai, you speak."

This chubby, chubby-faced man is Dai Yang, the director of the Leizhou Environmental Protection Bureau.

He nodded: "Actually, we may have already found a way to suppress the Roar of the Gods."

"Our people found a record in the Nanyang County Annals that a Taoist priest once broke the snake demon's supernatural powers,"

"However, regarding the method of breaking the curse, we only found three words in the county annals,"

"But none of us can crack the real secret of these three words."

He pressed the remote control in his hand, and a book was projected onto the conference table.
