All Heavens: Starting with Panlong's Transcendence, Devouring All Heavens

Chapter 148 Fahai Killed by a flurry of punches, the Faceless General's methods

"Cough cough..."

Seeing that the demonic dragon had been killed by Lynn, the Empty Prince coughed incessantly to cover his embarrassment. He had wasted so much time talking and boasting to these fishermen.

But now, this demonic dragon has been killed by Lynn.

How could I not embarrass him?

"Let's go!" he ordered his maid while coughing.

"Go back now?" the maid asked him.

"Cough...cough...Let's go!" Young Master Kongxu nodded.

Four maids immediately lifted the sedan chair to leave, but Lynn stopped him with a smile.

He said, "I've long heard that Young Master Kongxu's swordsmanship is unparalleled. I've heard so much about you! Why don't we go back together?"

Hearing this, the Empty Prince revealed a satisfied smile, then put on his usual act: "Being unparalleled in the world is just an empty title... You should know that being number one is very lonely and empty..."

Lynn nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!"

His performance greatly satisfied the Empty Prince, and the atmosphere between the two became quite pleasant.

……

As Lynn and the Empty Prince walked away into the distance, the fishermen gathered at the harbor stared at the black dragon's head that Lynn had casually tossed aside. Suddenly, one after another, they knelt down, their faces filled with gratitude and excitement!

They live at the very bottom of the world, going out to sea to fish every day, braving wind and rain, risking their lives, just to make a living and have a way to survive.

"I think we shouldn't demolish the Dragon King Temple! Let's build a shrine for that great man!"

"That lord killed the evil dragon; he is the true Dragon King!"

"Well said!"

……

The two walked back to Qiantang. Lin En went to the government office to hand in his mission, and then invited the Empty Prince to drink at the most luxurious restaurant.

Of course, the reason he did all this was not because he truly admired Young Master Kongxu, but because he hoped to invite Young Master Kongxu to join him in killing that Void Returning Realm Great Demon Centipede that had transformed into the Imperial Preceptor and was devouring fortune!

After adding all the source points to the black dragon, his current realm is Green Zombie Copper Corpse (62/100), which is not far from leveling up.

However, such strength is clearly insufficient to deal with Pudu Cihang, as there is a significant difference in their cultivation levels. But with the help of Kongxu Gongzi, the outcome would be uncertain, even though the latter is at the same Nascent Soul stage as him.

However, his Void Sword Technique and Sword Control Technique are clearly beyond the reach of ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

He was protected by green hair, making him impervious to blades and spears, while his opponent possessed an indestructible Void Sword. If the two of them cooperated well, they had a chance to kill Pudu Cihang. Killing Pudu Cihang would grant him 100 Origin Points, allowing him to directly upgrade to Silver-Winged Yaksha!

"The legendary Demon King, Pudu Cihang!" The Empty Void Prince took a sip of wine and sighed as if he were suffering from kidney deficiency. "He's not easy to deal with. Didn't you see his name? Daring to use such a name, he's very likely related to the Western Paradise Buddhist sect! He dared to devour the dynasty's fortune as the Imperial Preceptor, causing all sorts of monsters to roam the world, yet no one dared to destroy him. That shows that his backing is extraordinary."

"Buddhism?" Reminded by the Empty Void Prince, Lin En finally realized that it was indeed a bit illogical for the centipede demon Pudu Cihang to dare to transform into the Imperial Preceptor and recklessly devour the dynasty's fortune.

The reclusive masters of the human race are actually ignoring this! Is it because the human race is devoid of talent? Obviously not. At least the elders of Zhi Qiu Yi Ye are absolutely comparable in strength to Pu Du Ci Hang.

"Could this centipede demon really have a powerful backer?" Lynn was also beginning to doubt what the Empty Prince had said, but he quickly shook his head. In the original movie, when Pudu Cihang was killed, there was no powerful backer to take him away.

If a monster truly has a powerful backer, then it should be like the Golden Horn and Silver Horn monsters in Journey to the West, or the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge. When they are about to be killed, their backer will come and take them away.

How could a monster with powerful backers be killed?

After carefully recalling the plot of the movie, Lynn was convinced that the centipede demon was just a fox borrowing the tiger's power, and might just have gotten lucky and obtained some Buddhist inheritance from somewhere!

Thinking of this, he laughed and said, "If he really had a powerful backer, would he need to devour the dynasty's fortune? Wouldn't he have already returned to the Western Paradise and ascended the throne long ago!"

Hearing Lynn's words, the Empty Prince couldn't help but ponder, but in the end he hesitated and said, "With the two of us, it seems a bit too much of a stretch to deal with that demon king..."

Just as Lynn was about to speak to him, a young monk carrying a begging bowl and with a menacing look in his eyes walked into the restaurant. He didn't beg for alms; instead, he went straight to Lynn's table and sat down next to Lynn.

Lynn frowned, and the Empty Prince looked up at the monk: "Who is this beggar monk?"

The young monk paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said abruptly, "I am not a beggar, I am Fahai, the abbot of Jinshan Temple!"

"I can see that, I can see that!" Young Master Kongxu nodded and instructed the maid beside him, "Give them some food!"

Then, he continued to persuade Lynn: "Now is not the time to deal with that demon king. Wait another ten years, and when I have cultivated the Void Sword Technique to a higher level, killing that demon king will naturally not be a problem."

Fahai, his face dark, listened to the Empty Void Prince's eloquent speech. He said coldly, "I'm here to subdue demons..."

At this moment, the maid who had received instructions from the Empty Prince poured a bowl of rice into Fahai's alms bowl, thus interrupting his words.

"I..." Fahai was stunned.

……

Lynn's expression shifted: "You're Fahai? What brings you here?"

Fahai slammed the alms bowl down on the table, his eyes blazing as he stared intently at Lynn: "You audacious fiend, you still dare to pretend? I can tell you're not human at first glance!"

"Oh?" Lynn looked at Fahai, his face now covered with a cold glint.

Fahai's true form was a black python, who was converted by a high monk and entered the Buddhist order to cultivate. As a snake demon, he was exceptionally sensitive to auras.

None of Zhi Qiu Yi Ye, Yan Chi Xia, and Kong Xu Gong Zi noticed the zombie aura on Lynn, but Fa Hai, who was just passing by, noticed something was wrong with Lynn after walking around the street for a while.

So he came directly to Lynn's door to confront him!

The Empty Prince looked at Fahai with some confusion: "Monk, do you think there's not enough food?"

"Hmph! You mere mortal, associating with demons, aren't you afraid of losing your life!" Fahai sneered and reprimanded the Empty Void Prince.

Then, he looked at Lynn: "Demon, considering you haven't killed too many people, you can leave with me now and be imprisoned in Jinshan Temple forever, and I might spare your life!"

Lynn grew impatient. He grabbed Fahai's shoulder with his right hand and slammed him to the floor. "What did you say?"

Fahai was also at the Nascent Soul stage, and his true form was a giant black python, far surpassing human strength. However, Lynn possessed immense strength, enough to fight a dragon hand-to-hand; gripped by Lynn, Fahai could barely move. "Monster..." Fahai turned to Lynn, "Today I will rid the people of this scourge!"

Fahai kept spouting rude remarks, which angered Lynn, who punched him in the head, leaving him bruised, swollen, and with his skin torn open!

Then, before Fahai could react, Lynn rained down punches on his head, leaving him completely disoriented and without even a chance to cast a spell!

"Hmm..." Fahai didn't expect Lynn to be so unethical, not fighting him fairly, and even resorting to a sneak attack despite his strength.

"Killing demons costs 10 Origin Points, killing people also costs 10 Origin Points!" A cold glint flashed in Lynn's eyes. "You came looking for trouble, so don't blame me!"

"boom!"

Lynn punched the entire restaurant, causing it to collapse and startling passersby in the market.

"Cough cough..." The Empty Young Master covered his mouth and nose with a silk scarf and stepped aside: "Look at you, young brother, you're too impulsive. Someone insulted you a couple of times, and you wanted to kill someone..."

When the smoke cleared, the area was already surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. They strained their eyes, trying to see what had happened inside.

"Snapped!"

The first thing to emerge from the smoke and dust was a huge black snake tail, as thick as several people, which looked incredibly terrifying.

"A monster!" The crowd screamed and tried to back away, but they were too crowded to move. Instead, they were pushed by the crowd and moved involuntarily toward the snake's tail.

Fortunately, all the smoke and dust had cleared up by then, and they were finally able to see what had happened in the restaurant.

A black python, nearly a hundred meters long, lay limply on the ground, large pools of blood flowing from its ferocious jaws, soon forming a fountain of blood.

On the head of the black python stood a figure in black robes. Clearly, he was the one who had smashed the python to death.

Lynn beckoned the innkeeper over: "I slew the demon and destroyed your restaurant. The demon's corpse and its belongings should be more than enough to compensate for your losses, right?"

"Enough, enough!" The shopkeeper dared not utter a single word of dissent in front of Lynn.

"That's good!" Lynn nodded, then looked at the Empty Void Prince: "Our mood has been ruined by this demon for no reason. Let's find somewhere else to drink!"

As he spoke, he also added all 10 newly acquired Origin Points to his cultivation level.

His realm also changed to Green Zombie Bronze Corpse (72/100).

After ordering a table of food and drinks at a different restaurant, Lynn continued to discuss with the Empty Prince the suggestion of killing the centipede demon, Pudu Cihang. As for the incident where Fahai came to his door and was killed by him, he had long forgotten about it.

"Young Master Kongxu, I've heard you're the greatest swordsman in the world. Don't you want to kill that centipede demon to prove yourself?" Lynn said with a smile, "That's a powerful demon at the Void Returning Realm. Whoever kills it will surely be recognized by all exorcists as the greatest exorcist in the world!"

"Being the best in the world is just an empty title... Being number one is lonely and empty... How could I, Young Master Kongxu, care about such empty titles?" Young Master Kongxu seemed indifferent, but his eyes clearly showed that he was already tempted: "However, slaying demons and eliminating evil is the responsibility of us exorcists. Killing that centipede demon is naturally my duty, but..."

"Just what?" Lynn asked.

"With our combined strength, I'm afraid we're no match for that centipede demon!" The Void Prince liked to feign weakness, but he wasn't stupid. He shook his head and said, "Returning to Void? What is Returning to Void? That's cultivating the Void Dharma Form divine power; we probably wouldn't be able to deal with it!"

"Void Dharma Form? What's that?" Lynn asked curiously upon hearing this new term.

"It's normal for you savages not to know. The so-called Void Dharma Form refers to the great supernatural power formed by condensing one's true nature with the primordial energy of the void!" Prince Void explained, "Once the Void Dharma Form is unleashed, it cannot harm the opponent's true form unless it is broken first!"

"Is that so?" Lynn nodded.

He recalled the scene from the original movie, in which Pudu Cihang did indeed display the Dharma form of Shakyamuni during the great battle between Pudu Cihang and Yan Chixia and others.

The moment this Dharma form appeared, it almost instantly melted Zuo Qianhu, severely injuring everyone present.

In the end, it was Zhi Qiu Yi Ye who sacrificed himself, and together with Yan Chi Xia, their primordial spirits left their bodies, riding the Xuanyuan Sword into the centipede demon's body, and finally killed it in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, he asked, "What if we had the Xuanyuan Sword? Could it break through its form and slay this demon?"

"The Xuanyuan Sword? You know where the Xuanyuan Sword is?" Upon hearing the name Xuanyuan Sword, the Empty Void Prince became excited: "That's the sword of the ancient Human Emperor! Killing a mere centipede demon is naturally within its grasp!"

Lynn nodded: "It's in the hands of a friend of mine!"

"Really?"

……

Just as Lynn and the Empty Prince were discussing how to deal with Pudu Cihang, Ah Qiang suddenly suffered a serious attack.

In a gloomy palace, Ah Qiang was hung upside down, a sharp cone as thick as a finger piercing through his collarbone.

"Tick-tock!"

"Tick-tock!"

Fresh blood dripped continuously onto the ground, while several ghostly creatures of various shapes floated around him.

A demon with a bull's head and a gaping maw approached Ah Qiang's ear: "You said at the tavern that you killed the Tree Demon Granny, right? You couldn't have killed the Tree Demon Granny and the Soul Snatcher by yourself. Who were your accomplices?"

Ah Qiang remained silent, but inwardly he was filled with regret. If he hadn't drunk too much and talked nonsense, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Not going to talk? You're so stubborn! I'd like to see if your mouth is tougher than the tortures of the eighteen levels of hell! Heh heh..." The bull-headed demon chuckled sinisterly.

Just then, the sound of howling wind rang out outside the gloomy palace, and then a ghostly figure dressed in white robes with a face as smooth as white paper flew in from outside the palace.

It was none other than the Faceless General, one of the four great ghost generals under the command of the Black Mountain Demon!

A wrinkle appeared on his smooth, white face, and then a voice rang out: "Ox-Headed Envoy, have you caught the murderer who killed the Soul-Snatcher?"

The bull-headed demon quickly replied, "Sir, yes, this kid got drunk at the tavern and started bragging, mentioning killing the tree demon Granny. We caught him, but he's very stubborn, and we can't get any information about his accomplices!"

"Stubborn? Trying to keep a secret?" The Faceless General chuckled. "I'd like to see if he can still keep a secret under my soul-searching technique!"
