Inner Destroyer

　Seeing the professor being blown into the air, Qi Xing groaned softly, and grabbed the void with his five fingers. A fist-sized ball of lightning brewed in his hand, spinning around, and then suddenly blasted out, turning into five sword beams, sweeping across a thousand steps, and killing from a distance!

　A powerful electric current rushed in, burning the surrounding air until it expanded and exploded into thunder. There was no escape! The professor was in mid-air, his entire body struck by the lightning blade. Not only did he scream in pain, but he even emitted a burning smell!

　With his third move, Qi Xing stepped onto the ground, leaping into the air and instantly charging in front of the professor. His palm transformed into a blade, completely blocking any escape route. There would be no more flying strikes—he was going to use his palm blade to completely slice the hypnotist uncle in two!

　However, there is one thing that cannot allow the professor to be killed like this.

　Just when Qi Xing's palm knife was about to chop the professor into pieces, the red and black wriggling giant snake suddenly

25

　Ran also jumped up from the ground, and used its body, which was bigger than a train, to block Qi Xing!

　When Qi Xing chopped down with his palm, all that could be heard was the sound of metal colliding, like the sound of a bell.

　What a huge thing that cannot be cut by a knife and is immune to water and fire!

　Qi Xing had just trampled over hundreds of Wushabuti stone statues, shattering them to pieces. But a few hundred of them still had the strength to fight, and they finally reacted. They grabbed javelins and bows and arrows, aiming at Qi Xing in midair and attacking him simultaneously, ready to blast him like a hedgehog.

　Don't underestimate these bronze-tipped javelins, merely the spears fired by high-ranking soldiers. Born from mythical prototypes within the "Inner Realm," they are as powerful as rifles, if not more so!

　But Qi Xing merely glanced back at them, not even deliberately attacking. The rain of javelins and arrows stopped naturally within three feet of Qi Xing. It was as if an invisible force surrounded him, blocking everything.

　Looking closer, he saw a dense, golden electric grid, crackling and flickering, already surrounding Qi Xing. Everyone present could feel the powerful current, sending tingling sensations through their bodies and causing the hair on their skin to stand on end.

　Arrows drawn from ancient mythological archetypes struck the electric grid, melting like candles and falling back to the ground. The intense heat from the melting metal sent smoke billowing from the ground.

　This was actually just the "Golden Light Body Protection Mantra" that any serious cultivator knew. It was the foundation of Taoist thunder magic, which externalized the inner cultivation to the body surface, forming a protective yang energy that could drive away ghosts and evil spirits.

　Because of its wide range of uses, this spell is practiced by many different Taoist sects. However, the methods of practice vary, and each has its own distinct versions. Some sects use it to generate golden light and create talismans, while others harness this light to refine elixirs. Some even achieve enlightenment and cultivate true self-cultivation, earning the protection of the Thunder God. In reality, no single sect's Golden Light Curse is truly "authentic."

　Are you asking about the original version? The sect that developed the original version seems to have disappeared during the Yuan Dynasty.

　Qi Xing was a self-made cultivator who had learned from many sources. Therefore, he combined his unique electromagnetic Qi with the yang energy of the Golden Light Mantra, creating a three-foot-long Qi wall that melted gold and iron, reacted automatically, and automatically damaged the aura. He called it "Thunderfire Heavenly Robe."

　Most of the evil spirits in this world enjoy playing sinister tricks. Especially those involving poisoning, curses, traps, and sneak attacks. Without even this basic automatic defense, how could "Lei Pu Zhenren" possibly slay demons and evil spirits in this harsh, dark world?

　During his vacation, Qi Xing would lower the power of the "Thunderfire Heavenly Clothes" so that he could walk among mosquitoes and electrocute them to death.

　(Oops! Oops!)

　Professor Vanstra's skull was cracked by a punch and his whole body was burnt by electricity. He barely escaped the last palm strike and was knocked down from the sky and smashed back to the ground, groaning in his heart.

　(I had only heard that Master Lei Pu was powerful, and I thought that with the divine weapon, I could at least surpass him in power. I didn't expect that to be the case at all...)

　The professor was truly horrified when he felt the electric current in the air making his fur tremble.

　Qi Xing hunts down evil masters and refines them into yin and yang energy batteries. Therefore, many cultists believe that Master Lei Pu's strength stems solely from his vast zhenqi (inner energy), and they use even more powerful artifacts to counter him. Only after being beaten do they finally realize the truth—in reality, Qi Xing's precise manipulation of yin and yang energy to generate thunderbolts is the real key.

　The thunder of heaven and earth contains the calamity of life and death. It is the gathering of yin and yang, brewing in chaos. The contradictions are sharp, and when they suddenly collide, they produce a shocking power that shakes the world and causes endless explosions.

　Among all Taoist magic spells, the one with the greatest attack power is thunder magic.

　Almost all masters in this world possess special metaphysical spells and abilities that are beyond common sense and incomprehensible. The more unconventional the method, the more so.

　However, Qi Xing, a free spirit who made his living from various sources, wasn't particularly interested in anything too esoteric. For example, while he knew how to use talismans, it wasn't often, and he only used them for functional purposes, not often in combat.

　Too many righteous heroes rely solely on magic and supernatural powers, only to be exploited by treacherous enemies, captured, and humiliated. This is unacceptable to Qi Xingxing. As a hero, he must be able to cope with all kinds of surprise attacks, betrayals, unconventional strategies, and night and morning assaults.

　In this dark world where victory or defeat can be decided without even entering a battlefield, if one only possesses one or two powerful metaphysical spells or abilities, life will quickly be over. Even if the skill multiplier is high, a low skill panel will result in a complete inability to hit targets and unleash skills.

　Only by honing your own combat skills, honing your own strength, and refining your supreme Qi and mana, can you strike your enemies' vital points faster and stronger with greater attack power and speed. This is simple and easy to understand, and therefore more likely to make you invincible!

　After traveling through time and practicing for ten years, this set of combat techniques that Qi Xing had honed and refined became his theoretical system, his—

　"Thunder Fighting Technique"!

　Using his "Thunderfire Heavenly Robe" to block the stone statues' shots, Qi Xing paid no attention to the other soldiers. He was about to bombard the professor again, to kill him immediately!

　However, the inexplicably swollen black and red snake, with a speed unimaginable given its massive size, pursued Qi Xing like the wind, preventing him from killing the professor. Its posture was like a loyal war beast guarding its master.

　There is nothing wrong with this statement, but the big snake is actually the embodiment of the professor's inner chicken. A chicken bravely stood up and loyally protected its master, which made the scene

26

　The face seemed ridiculous for a moment.

　What's even more ridiculous is that this hard, thick and heavy big █, shaking its head and tail, is actually more powerful and stronger than the professor himself in a fight!

　Boom!

　This time, it was the big head's turn to aim at Qi Xing. The reptilian head also spit out thick lightning bolts, which crackled and rained down on Qi Xing.

　"No, why can this thing spit out lightning?"

　Qi Xing complained as he formed hand seals—Taoism, of course, also has mantra hand seals. While the Nine-Character Seal is common in Onmyoji and ninja fiction, it was originally documented by Ge Hong during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Qi Xing clasped his ten fingers together, extending his middle fingers to connect them, forming the "fighting" seal.

　The so-called "fighting" is about courage and resoluteness. Even when faced with difficulties, the fighting spirit surges, resisting all calamities. Despite the thunder and lightning from the giant snake, Qi Xing responded with the "fighting" seal. Each bolt of lightning and lightning was dispersed by the "fighting" seal, transforming back into yin and yang energy, which Qi Xing grasped and refined.

　During this refining process, the mythological knowledge that Samael had given him surged in his mind, giving Qi Xing a deeper understanding - why couldn't the crane emit lightning? Of course it could!

　Osiris was the god of vegetation. His alternating life and death symbolized the flourishing and withering of plants in nature. His falling into the Nile, causing the spring flood, didn't it symbolize fertility? This conflation of a masculine organ with the symbolism of spring and fertility is a common element in ancient mythology throughout the world and across humanity.

　Thunder and lightning also signify abundance, for they bring spring rain. For agricultural peoples throughout the world, spring thunder is a harbinger of the coming rain, a symbol of agriculture and nourishment.

　Furthermore, the ancient Egyptians valued the masculine power of "kingship." After being mauled and hanged by a crocodile, Osiris could no longer reign as pharaoh on earth, even after his resurrection. This was because he was no longer "manly," lacking his penis, and therefore could only rule the underworld.

　The same is true in other cultures. The Greek Titan Uranus lost his power when his son Cronus cut off his cock. Cronus also lost his power when his son Zeus cut off his cock. Zeus ascended to become the King of Olympus, and everyone knows he had the strongest cock in Greece.

　The mythical image of the "Inner World" is actually just a projection of the owner's subconscious. █ is a stick, and the stick is the king's scepter, the symbol of royal power, the root of Professor Vanstra's inner strength, and the ultimate power of being a man!!!

　So this big cock is no ordinary one—it is also thunder, spring rain, the power of the king, the value of a man’s existence, and the dragon under Osiris’ crotch!

　Although the mysterious knowledge that Samael gave Qi Xing allowed him to understand these mythological symbols and subconscious symbols, he could only analyze them on an intellectual level, which also meant that he was even less able to empathize with the professor on an emotional level.

　Why would someone, subconsciously, be so narcissistic about their own dick? Is this some kind of midlife crisis? Or, could it be that Professor Vanstra had a childhood traumatic obsession with chickens? Some kind of psychological trauma?

　This is so weird. Qi Xing can't understand it.

　Oh, never mind. He didn't want to understand perversion anyway.

　Qi Xing turned around to look at his teammates and saw Elaine and the magical girl fighting Anubis happily.

　Anubis was the son of Osiris and his sister-in-law. Professor Vanstra likely didn't have any illegitimate children. Therefore, in the professor's mind, this Anubis likely represents some "achievement" he achieved through his use of the chicken (and perhaps hypnosis).

　Such a dark self-confidence becomes even stronger in the "Inner World." It's a blessing that Elaine and the others were able to fight this Anubis so closely. I really should give them a little red flower when I wake up and return.

　"Well, since it's the root of power, chopping this thing off should end this battle."

　It's time to stop putting underage girls at risk.

　"Thunder is Yang, lightning is Yin. I combine my true Qi with the creation of Tai Chi."

　As the spell was chanted, Qi Xing clapped his hands together, and yin and yang collided. Then, a bright lightning shot out from his palms, and thunder rolled, turning into a sky-reaching thunder sword!

　"Pierce through heaven and earth, sever all evil, and destroy all spirits—hurry up and obey the command!"

　This was his ultimate move, "Thunderbolt Fighting Technique." It was one of Qi Xing's few special moves that required a cast time, was quite costly, and had a long lead time, requiring careful timing to unleash.

　In an instant, an aura of looking down on the world and not allowing any evil to survive emerged from him.

　At that moment, whether it was Elaine, the magical girl, or the professor, who was paralyzed on the ground, all felt a chill run down their spines. They could all feel that "Rep Master" was like a sharp knife, standing straight up between heaven and earth.

　If he dislikes this vast land and hates it - then he will poke a hole in the entire world!

　The son of Osiris coiled up, raising his curved head like a real snake, as if trying to intimidate Qi Xing. This obviously didn't work.

　Only Professor Feinstra himself was watching this scene. Seeing his own █ standing in front of him, facing the ultimate enemy on his behalf, it finally dawned on him. He screamed anxiously: "Ahhh?!"

　Could it be that - could it be that his █, wanted to protect him? !

　Did he think that as long as it was chopped off by "Master Leipu", he could continue to live in the world?

27

　"No no no!"

　Even though his bones were cracked and broken, the professor immediately struggled to his feet, crawled up, and desperately rushed towards Qi Xing, kneeling down on his knees and howling!

　"Master Leipu! Master! Please stop now! Spare my █!"

　Spare him?

　Qi Xing glanced at the professor and asked calmly, "Have you ever spared those tourists in the shallows, and spared those hundreds of █ you cut off?"

　The professor was speechless.

　"Have you ever shown mercy to the women you hypnotized and toyed with?"

　Qi Xing asked again.

　This time there was no need to answer, an expression of absolute despair appeared on the professor's face.

　It’s over.

　He's really finished.

　"Very good. I will first break the root of your power, and then see whether the Association will shoot you or burn you at the stake."

　A flash of lightning surged from Qi Xing's palm, sweeping across the sky, swallowing up the heavens and earth. A powerful electric current of true energy pierced the void, this time aiming to truly kill the professor's chicken.

　What else can he do?

　Does he have any trump card to revive and fight back again?

　Maybe there really is one.

　Maybe he has no other choice.

　"Aa ...

　With a final, frantic howl, Professor Vanstra drew a sharp blade from behind him and lunged towards the lightning sword that Qi Xing was swinging down from the sky.

　He was holding...

　The tip of the Spear of Longinus.

　012: Fighting for life and death just for Ding

　Lightning blade light surged from Qi Xing's palm, sweeping across the sky, as if swallowing up the heavens and earth. Electric current and true energy penetrated the void, breaking through everything.

　This was one of the three ultimate moves in his "Thunder Fighting Art." Qi Xing, citing the Taoist classic "Thunder General Edict," named this move "Thundering Fire Slashing Evil God Sword." It was incredibly powerful, instantly devastating!

　However, when registering the spell, the World Exorcist Association complained that the name was too long and difficult to pronounce. Furthermore, the foreigners didn't even know how to pronounce the character "欻." So, they chopped off the beginning and end of the spell and registered it as "Thunderfire Sword."

　Although Qi discovered the situation a month after waking up and quickly had the Association change their registration, the catchy name of the "Thunderfire Sword" move had already spread within a month. And once something spreads by word of mouth in the dark world, even a Daluo Jinxian can't retrieve it.

　At this moment, for Professor Vanstra, the huge sword of lightning that fell from the sky was the "Thunder and Fire Sword". It had no other name. It was a terrifying killing move that he had absolutely no way of resisting.

　"Aa ...

　But he still let out a final howl, raised the tip of the Spear of Longinus, and pounced towards the lightning that was falling from the sky.

　Such crazy behavior is like running naked on the battlefield of Stalingrad, or like a police officer trying to stop a tornado from running a red light. It is a completely suicidal act!

　What was the point of doing this and then being torn apart and killed? Was it just a simple act of bravery? Was it okay to die meaninglessly just to protect my child?

　Fighting to the death just for a stick seems too weird.

　But there will definitely be people who will say that this is not just for a piece of cake, but for the right of future generations to live in this world!

　So Professor Vanstra rushed forward, using the short end of his spear to block the Thunderfire Sword. Normally, this would be like raising an iron rod to challenge a thunderbolt; it would only be chopped into charcoal and then chopped into pieces by the true qi.

　But as soon as Qi Xing's Qi touched the tip of the holy spear, he immediately noticed something was wrong. His thundering Qi couldn't even shake the tiny spear tip, barely the size of his palm. It was like a torrent washing over an indestructible pillar of adamantine gold nailed to the ground.

　The spearhead emitted nothing, absorbed nothing, and simply existed, seemingly oblivious to anything else in the world. The lightning torrent from the Thunderfire Sword struck it, only to be split in two.

　What would happen if you used a knife to chop a bullet? Actually, it would just split the bullet in two, each continuing to fly forward. The same situation was happening now. Only here, the bullet was replaced by lightning, and the knife by a gun.

　The scattered lightning blasted the professor and the giant snake into the air. Explosion! Explosion!

　"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!"

　Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and a pervert screamed. Perhaps because the force was dispersed, the professor and the chicken were hit separately, but they survived for a moment, writhing madly in the thunder. Even with Qi Xing's ten years of experience and knowledge, looking at this scene, he couldn't help but feel speechless for a moment, "What the hell am I doing?"

　Fortunately, he has many tricks.

　Qi Xing raised his right hand, the "Thunderfire Sword" spreading and transforming. With a flash of lightning, he redirected the blade and pierced deeply into the giant snake's body. The lightning blade pierced through the giant snake, driving its entire body deep into the ground, splashing blood everywhere.

　The pierced serpent convulsed violently. Each convulsion caused more blood to ooze out, only to be burned dry by the lightning. Soon, its erect body shrank. Finally, in a matter of seconds, the Osiris Serpent had shrunk into a wrinkled, ugly mass, motionless.

　"Ooohhhhhh!"
