All Heavens: Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts Starting from the Republic of China

Chapter 59 Fighting the Evil God [Part 1] (First Update)

Fu Ze and his group retreated almost simultaneously, quickly withdrawing to a distance of three zhang (approximately 10 meters)!

The three of them stared intently at the patch of dark red soil between the two crooked trees, which was cracking open.

The rumbling sound from beneath the ground grew deeper and closer! It was as if some enormous creature was slowly awakening and turning over deep underground.

The next moment————

Boom!

The soil in that area suddenly exploded, as if a powerful bomb had detonated underground. Dark red mud, gravel, tree roots, sawdust, and blades of grass were all thrown into the air and flew everywhere.

A massive black shadow emerged from the ground amidst an explosion, revealing itself to be a tall and imposing human figure.

It was about four or five meters tall, and its entire body was grayish-black, like a strange thing forcibly molded from a mixture of mud, rocks, rotting flesh, and incense ash. Its entire body was covered with a rough and thick hard shell.

His back, shoulders, and both sides of his arms were covered with grotesque bone spurs.

The bone spurs varied in length and were densely packed, resembling white bone nails protruding backwards from the body. From a distance, they looked as if covered with a layer of upright, hard spurs, each surrounded by a blackish-red, putrid glow of blood.

Its head looks even more bizarre.

It's just a smooth, round ball. No nose, no mouth, no ears!

There were only two eye-like holes, from which a dark red, blood-red light flickered eerily.

Fu Ze glanced at it only once before speaking in a deep voice.

"This is not the original body."

Li Junfeng asked.

"What?"

Fu Ze said in a deep voice.

"Its true form is still hidden. This thing is a manifestation it created by using impure soil, earth veins, and incense offerings. But this also shows that although this thing is very tempting to us, it is not certain of victory."

Since this kind of evil god hides its true form deep underground, it certainly wouldn't reveal itself directly at the beginning unless it was absolutely certain of success. It would first use its physical form to fight, test the enemy, wear them down, and even take the opportunity to devour them.

Zhao Rui clicked his tongue.

"If even the Dharmakaya (Dharma Body) is this ugly, how shabby must the original body be?"

Fu Ze and Li Junfeng both accepted his lame joke, because the evil god's avatar had already charged over!

As soon as it emerged from the ground, it raised a huge hand and slapped it horizontally towards the three of them!

That palm was a full ten feet in diameter!

Five fingers, as thick as stone pillars, with black spikes at their tips. When the photo was taken, the air was compressed and exploded, like a wall collapsing with a roar.

Fu Zeli shouted.

"Disperse!"

The three separated instantly.

Fu Ze lightly touched the ground with his feet and his figure swept out diagonally.

Li Junfeng, on the other hand, darted out like a tiger, skimming along the ground.

Zhao Rui was the most decisive; he rolled over and dodged more than ten steps away.

boom!

The giant hand of the evil god's avatar slammed into the ground, causing the soil to explode and rubble to fly everywhere.

A visible shockwave, mixed with dark red mud, spread outwards!

As soon as Zhao Rui regained his footing, his expression changed.

"That's incredible strength! Much stronger than that Yellow Vitex Tree Earth God. If he hit me, I'd be turned into a pancake!"

Fu Ze took out a talisman, poured spiritual energy into it, and the talisman ignited with a pale red flame.

"The divine fire of the Southern Altar burns away evil and dispels yin!"

boom!

The flames transformed into a stream of fire, striking the chest of the evil god's avatar.

The grayish-black shell was instantly charred, and black and red light surged violently. But the evil god's avatar only swayed slightly and was not seriously injured.

Fu Ze's eyes darkened slightly.

"It's really hard!"

Although this thing is only a Dharma body, it is formed by borrowing from the earth's veins and impure soil, and is not the flesh and blood of ordinary demons.

He pinched another talisman between his fingers.

"Azure Altar Gale, slay demons and shatter filth!"

Whoops!

Three semi-transparent cyan wind blades spun out and struck the junction of the evil god's avatar's shoulder and arm.

Chi Chi Chi!

Stone fragments flew everywhere, and the hard shell was cut open in several places.

The Dharma body finally let out a low roar.

It has no mouth.

The sound came from the chest and abdomen and from underground at the same time, like countless human voices mixed together, a painful roar coming from the depths of the soil.

Li Junfeng has already made his move!

He did not strike the chest of the evil god's avatar.

This behemoth has the thickest hard shell on its front, so hitting it there is a waste of effort.

Xingyiquan emphasizes acting according to circumstances, striking like an arrow, with power delivered in a single line. The same applies to dealing with this kind of opponent; you must find their weak point.

Li Junfeng stomped his foot and shot forward like a spear. The thunderous roar of tigers and leopards echoed between his chest and abdomen.

Woohoo!

He rushed to the left leg of the evil god's avatar and unleashed a powerful punch, condensing the force into a single point, which then fiercely burrowed into the knee joint.

boom!

The evil god's avatar's left leg trembled, causing fragments of stone to shatter at its joint. Its massive body even tilted slightly.

"His joints are strong enough to fight!"

Li Junfeng said coldly.

Zhao Rui immediately fired his gun.

Bang bang bang!

Three bullets were fired almost simultaneously, each striking a different part of the body.

One bullet struck the head of the evil god's avatar, another aimed at its chest, and a third was aimed directly at its blood-red eye socket.

When a bullet hits a hard shell, it only produces a few sparks in a normal location.

But the one that went into the eye socket suddenly exploded into a burst of black and red blood light.

The evil god's avatar raised its head.

The blood-red light within the two hollows flickered violently.

Zhao Rui's eyes lit up.

"Eyes are useful too!"

Before the words were finished, the bone spikes on the back of the evil god's avatar suddenly trembled. Dozens of tentacles formed from black and red miasma emerged from the gaps in the bone spikes.

It was like a whip, and also like sticky vines, lashing wildly at the three of them!

Snapped!

One of the tentacles slammed into the ground, creating a deep trench.

Li Junfeng moved with incredible speed, darting close to the legs of the evil god's avatar.

He doesn't confront the tentacles head-on.

The twelve forms of Xingyi (形意) transform in turn on him.

The tiger pounces, the bear is steady, the rooster is agile, and the snake moves in circles.

Despite his imposing stature, his movements were incredibly fast. In just a few leaps, he scaled the back of the evil god's avatar, using the gaps in its bone spurs and hard shell along its thick legs!

Zhao Rui's eyelids twitched.

"Brother Li, are you thinking you're some kind of mountain monkey?"

Fu Ze didn't have time to respond to his lame jokes.

While dodging the tentacles, he threw out two talismans.

"The red altar purifies impurities, dispelling demons and eliminating evil!"

This is another type of talisman in the Southern Transmission Maoshan Method.

Its power is not as explosive as the Divine Fire Spell, nor as sharp as the Gale Spell, but it is specifically designed to purify impurities and evil spirits. It is perfectly suited for dealing with this kind of Dharma body formed from filth and the putrid smell of incense.

The talisman burned, transforming into two dark red and gold halos that slammed into the tentacles.

Zizizi!

A large amount of black smoke billowed from the surface of the tentacles, and their movements slowed down by half a beat.

Fu Ze seized the opportunity to rush forward.

Bajiquan!

He stepped on the ground, twisted his waist and hips, and his shoulders and back turned like a dragon turning over.

Vajra Elbow!

boom!

The blow struck the outside of the evil god's avatar's right leg, the hidden force penetrating the hard shell, causing a section of the outer layer of stone skin on that leg to shatter.

Fu Ze himself was also jolted so badly that his shoulders went numb.

"Really hard!"

He cursed under his breath.

With a flick of his right hand, the lightning-struck jujube wood magic dagger was already in his palm. Tiny blue-white lightning bolts appeared on the surface of the magic dagger.

A tentacle lashed out from the side.

Instead of retreating, Fu Ze advanced, his body sliding along the side of the tentacle, and his magic dagger slashed down.

scoff!

The tentacles were sliced ​​open by the lightning-struck wooden dagger, and pungent black smoke billowed from the broken ends of the black and red miasma.

Meanwhile, Li Junfeng had already begun a killing spree on the back of the evil god's avatar.

He stepped on a thick bone spike with both feet, and his hands gripped the connection between his shoulders and back like eagle claws.

The blood and qi surged, and the muscles and bones resonated.

Click!

He forcefully tore a piece open the hard shell, and blackish-red mud gushed out. Several tentacles immediately curled back, trying to entangle him.

Li Junfeng snorted coldly, his arms jerked, and he used the Eagle Form!

With ten fingers like hooks, the force penetrated through the fingertips, tearing the tentacles apart.

With a stomp of his foot, he climbed onto the shoulder of the evil god's avatar and reached the other side.

Crushing Fist!

Cannon Fist!

Chopping Fist!

The punches landed squarely on the shoulders, elbows, and back—the points where these joints connect. With each blow, pebbles flew and black mud seeped into the cracks.

The evil god's avatar roared madly, its huge arm slapping back, but it couldn't hit Li Junfeng at all.

Li Junfeng leaped and twisted on its back, like a ferocious beast running along the cliff.

Fu Ze then engaged in ground-based containment.

Spell bombardment, Eight Extremes Short Strikes, Lightning Strike Dagger Slash Tentacles.

Zhao Rui was too fragile to approach, so he was responsible for providing fire support from a distance—his gunfire was almost constant.

Bang bang bang!

Holes in the eyes, a crack in the chest, elbow joints —

Every bullet treated with cinnabar, talisman water, black dog blood, and rooster blood will explode into a cloud of black smoke and blood if it hits a weak point.

This is the result of the three working together seamlessly.

Li Junfeng performed a close-up bone dissection.

Fu Zezhong moved at close range, unleashing both magic and fist techniques.

Zhao Rui uses long-range pinpoint attacks, specifically targeting key positions.

Although the evil god's avatar was enormous and ferocious, it was temporarily suppressed by the three of them and roared repeatedly.

But it wasn't just going to take the hits; suddenly all the bone spurs on its back stood up, and dozens of bone spurs vibrated at the same time.

The next instant, the black and red miasma exploded from the bone spurs, turning into countless short spikes that shot out in all directions!

"Be careful!"

Fu Ze shouted.

Li Junfeng was on the back of the Dharma body, at the closest distance.

He reacted the fastest.

He suddenly pressed his whole body down, gripping a bone spur with both hands, his body almost parallel to the back of the practitioner.

Short, black and red thorns grazed his back. Several tore his clothes, leaving streaks of blood on his skin.

Zhao Rui hid behind a large rock, his short spikes striking the rock with a series of loud thuds.

Fu Ze then held the talisman between his hands.

"Golden light to ward off evil!"

Golden light exploded in front of him, forcefully blocking a large area of ​​short spikes, but he was still shaken back two steps, his chest heaving with blood and qi.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the evil god's avatar raised its leg and stomped on Fu Ze.

With that one step, the ground was enveloped in shadow!

Fu Ze's eyes narrowed.

Can't avoid it? Then break through it!

He suddenly lowered his body and stomped his feet on the ground.

They ignored everyone who came to their door!

With arms crossed and raised, a hidden force surges from the soles of the feet all the way to the shoulders and elbows.

boom!

He certainly didn't dare to take the entire big foot head-on, but instead, he struck the ankle joint at an angle before the foot landed.

Bajiquan's power generation is short, fierce, and penetrating!

The evil god's avatar immediately missed its mark with its foot.

boom!

The giant foot stomped on Fu Ze's side, and the soil exploded.

Fu Ze was thrown out by the blast wave, and as soon as he landed, he heard Zhao Rui shout.

"Brother Fu, it seems to be protecting its belly the whole time!"

Fu Ze's eyes flashed.

He discovered it too!

When this evil god's avatar was surrounded, it would instinctively defend itself whenever an attack was about to strike its abdomen. It would even sacrifice its arms and back to protect its abdomen.

Fu Ze looked at Li Junfeng, and Li Junfeng was also looking at him.

Their eyes met, and they immediately understood each other's meaning.

Although Zhao Rui was far away, he still understood what was going on.

"Got it! Let's go for it!"

He reloaded.

This time, the bullets were filled with a mixture of black dog blood, rooster blood, and cinnabar talisman ash.

Zhao Rui took a deep breath and raised both guns simultaneously.

"I'll get your eyes punched!"

Bang bang bang!

Gunfire erupted in unison.

The bullets struck the two blood-red eye holes on the head of the evil god's avatar with perfect accuracy, and the evil god's avatar immediately raised its hand to block them.

Li Junfeng seized the opportunity to erupt from behind it.

His blood and qi surged violently, and a faint white vapor rose from his skin, like a large steamer with its lid just opened.

This is when the Qi and blood circulate to their maximum, the pores open and close, and heat is released!

"Cut it off!"

Li Junfeng let out a loud shout.

He slammed his fists repeatedly at the right shoulder joint of the evil god's avatar.

Crash! Cannon! Cleave!

In an instant, he changes into three different punching stances at a speed so fast that the eyes cannot see him, and accurately strikes the same spot!

Click!

The right arm joint of the evil god's avatar was directly cracked by him.

Immediately afterwards, he gripped the crack with both hands and kicked off with his feet.

The explosive force of Xingyi!

boom!

He actually tore most of that huge right arm off from the shoulder.

More tentacles launched a frenzied counterattack.

Li Junfeng did not retreat; instead, he continued downwards.

Elbows, knees, waists, legs—he specializes in disassembling joints.

Every place he hit sent flying stones and sprayed dark red mud.

Zhao Rui, on the other hand, also seized the opportunity.

A bullet bypassed the evil god's mangled arm and struck his left eye.

"Holy crap, bullets can really curve?"

Fu Ze was somewhat shocked.

boom!

A burst of dark red blood light erupted.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Rui's second bullet entered his right eye.

boom!

The evil god's body suddenly tilted its head back.

The blood-red light in the two eye sockets dimmed considerably in an instant.

Zhao Rui shouted.

"Brother Fu, now's the time! It's up to you!"

Fu Ze made a move.

He shot towards the abdomen of the evil god's avatar like an arrow released from a bow. Several tentacles lashed out, but Fu Ze barely managed to dodge them.

The divine fire talisman in his left hand was burning.

"The divine fire of the Southern Altar burns away evil and dispels yin!"

boom!

A pale red flame exploded against his palm.

Fu Ze didn't throw the talisman away, but instead pressed his palm directly onto the abdomen of the evil god's avatar!

The divine fire exploded, and a crack instantly appeared in the hard shell on its abdomen.

At the same time, he retracted his right arm.

Elbows close to the ribs, feet gripping the ground, waist and hips twisting together. Power flows from the soles of the feet, through the hips, back, and shoulders, all the way to the elbows!

Bajiquan's deadly move, the Heart-Piercing Elbow!

In close-quarters combat, it is the fiercest, most ruthless, and most penetrating move!

boom!

Fu Ze's elbow slammed into the crack burned by the divine fire. Half of his arm was buried directly into the belly of the evil god's avatar.

Inside wasn't flesh and blood, but a clump of sticky, cold, frantically writhing black and red filth!

Fu Ze felt his elbow strike a hard core.

His eyes sharpened, and his spiritual energy and hidden power erupted simultaneously!

boom!

The core shattered instantly.

The evil god's avatar let out a chilling roar.

Fu Ze did not linger in the fight. After landing a successful blow, he immediately withdrew and retreated rapidly.

Almost the instant he withdrew, countless tentacles exploded from the abdomen of the evil god's avatar, dancing wildly.

If he had been even half a step slower, Fu Ze would have been completely entangled!

But he managed to dodge it.

The Dharma body remained frozen in place.

Black and red blood gushed out wildly from the crack in his chest and abdomen.

The severed arm, the shattered joints, the blinded eyes—everything began to crack and break.

Click, click, click.

The cracks started at the core of the abdomen and quickly spread throughout the body.

Surrounded by black and red blood-red light, the evil god's avatar began to crumble and dissipate inch by inch.

The grayish-black hard shell peeled away piece by piece, the bone spikes turning to powder. The tentacles, like dried-out loaches, twisted a few times before collapsing into black smoke.

Zhao Rui was panting heavily, and smoke was still rising from the muzzles of his two guns.

He stared at the collapsing and destroying Dharma body and asked.

"it's over?"

Fu Ze gave a wry smile.

"Of course not."

Zhao Rui's face fell.

"I knew it."

Fu Ze looked at the dissipating black and red blood light and said slowly.

"Didn't I already say when this thing first appeared? This is just a divine avatar. We've already broken its avatar, so its true form should appear now."

Li Junfeng leaped down from the remains of the Dharma Body, his shoulders and arms covered in bloodstains, yet his aura remained calm.

Fu Ze gripped the lightning-struck jujube wood magic dagger tightly and suddenly laughed.

"Good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Zhao Rui's lips twitched.

"Let's start with the bad news so I can be mentally prepared."

Fu Zedao.

"The bad news is, this is when we'll really be fighting tooth and nail."

Zhao Rui asked.

"What's the good news?"

Fu Ze looked up at the dark red soil that was now churning even more wildly.

"The good news is—"

"This should really be the final battle."
