The sound is coming from a tree on the side of the thatched cottage. The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large black panther leaping down from the precarious tree branch, slowly approaching them. " Xun, you've found your way here," Niu Xiaohua's voice trembled, with a hint of fear in his tone.
"Xiao Hua, do you know him?"
"Mr.Nigaki, he was your good brother before. Don't you remember? It seems that this injury has really affected you a lot."
As she spoke, a dark light emanated from the black panther, making it difficult to look directly at it. When the light dissipated, a handsome young man in a black robe appeared before them.
This person is about the same age as Aragaki Nigaki, looking like he's in his mid-twenties. His features are distinct and extraordinary, and he's elegantly waving a folding fan in his hand. If Aragaki Nigaki didn't see it with his own eyes, he would definitely think he's a young master from a wealthy family. "Archer, after all these years... you seem quite content with being a waste of space."
"Dongye Xun, did you kill this person?" Niu Xiaohua questioned.
"Dongye Xun? Dongye... Aragaki... Why are they all Japanese surnames..." Aragaki Nigaki frowned, looking disdainful.
"Mr.Nigaki, what did you say?"
"Ah... what I mean is, Dongye and Aragaki are both foreign surnames..."
"Are you kidding? Our surnames, Shenzhou, are authentic local surnames, not foreign or alien," Dongye Xun said disdainfully. "I've been telling you to study more, to study more! It's embarrassing! You don't even recognize your own ancestors! Anyway, back to the point. Miss, come back with me."
"I'm asking you, did you kill this person?" Niu Xiaohua gradually hardened her expression.
"Ssss—Aragaki Nigaki killed over twenty disciples and the leader of the Qionghua sect! Why aren't you mentioning that?"
"Mr.Nigaki killed because I failed to stop the intrusion of dark power into his body, causing the chaos of his mind by the dark spirits. It's my fault, and I will take responsibility for it later. But you..." Niu Xiaohua spoke softly with a lowered brow, "Are you not in your right mind?"
"Boring... I've been with you for twelve days. If you don't leave, what can I do? I'll just get rid of the trouble~" Dongye Xun said indifferently, "Stop talking nonsense and come back with me, Xiaohua..."
"Xiao Hua is my daughter-in-law! She can only go with me!" Aragaki Nigaki stood in front of his wife, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Do you really have no impression of me at all?" Dongye Xun asked tentatively.
"Mr. Nigaki was previously poisoned by the Ice Abyss. His mind was damaged... he doesn't remember the past." Niu Xiaohua turned her head, her eyes shining slightly, "But I still want to be with him, no matter what. So... you go. The Hunter has been so good to us, I can't avenge him, I owe him that."
Seeing Niu Xiaohua so affectionate, Dongye Xun's eyes revealed a murderous intent. "Aragaki Nigaki, what makes Xiaohua treat you like this? Back when we first met, Xiaohua. In terms of spiritual level, you are not as good as me; in terms of appearance, you are not as good as me; in terms of family background, you are still not as good as me! Why??" Dongye Xun's features gradually twisted, and he scolded in a harsh voice, "You, a Thousand Year Wolf Demon, actually can't beat a stinky Taoist from the human realm. Where do you get the courage to call Xiaohua your wife? What ability do you have to make her happy? You are just a waste!" "Xiaohua, what happened between the three of us?" Aragaki Nigaki stared at Dongye Xun without blinking.
Niu Xiaohua let out a sigh, "For hundreds of years, the human world's Cultivation sect has enforced the decree of 'kill on sight' against the demon race. They extract the demon's demon core and use secret methods to transform it into spiritual power that can be used by the human race to increase their own cultivation. But the human world is not only home to the Cultivation sect, there are also some martial arts sects and gangs in the rivers and lakes who are eager for this matter. Although they do not understand how to refine the spiritual power in the demon core, they also want to use demon power to prolong their lives. The Ten Thousand Spirit Beast Manor is one of them."
Niu Xiaohua paused and continued, "Twenty years ago, you and Xun were captured by the despicable human race and taken to the Ten Thousand Spirit Beast Manor. I happened to wander there as well. They recognized my identity, warmly entertained me, and secretly poisoned the food. So I was also thrown into the manor's dungeon. The three of us met at that time. Later..."
Dongye Xun snorted, interrupting Niu Xiaohua, "Later, we used a plan to rescue Xiaohua and released all the demon companions who were imprisoned in the dungeon, and we conquered the Ten Thousand Spirit Beast Manor with them! Since then, the three of us have been inseparable, wandering around, traveling the world. Those were the happiest days of my life."
"What happened next?"
"Well, what happened? Haha... Both of us fell in love with Xiaohua. Xiaohua's stepbrother, the second young master, he injured Xiaohua... and you, without informing me, took her away on your own! I was almost killed by the second young master! Haha... Since then, I have harbored deep hatred towards you and willingly joined the second young master's side."
As Dongye Xun finished speaking, his gaze turned fierce, and a victorious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You two are what kind of level now? How do you dare to fight with me? Xiao Hua, if you don't want to get hurt again, just follow me back. Second Young Master said he really wants you. He entrusted me to take care of you, and if necessary, I won't hesitate to use force..."
"Damn! What are you trying to put on a show for?! You haven't even responded to me since just now, giving me the cold shoulder? Xiao Hua is my daughter-in-law, I don't care who sent you here, go back and tell them! Get out of here!"
Aragaki Nigaki was spewing profanity and insults. Dongye Xun raised an eyebrow in annoyance. But Niu Xiaohua heard this and couldn't help but laugh with a smile, looking up at her husband's face with eyes filled with endless warmth.
"Aragaki Nigaki, what are you saying?!?" The last four characters "Dongye Xun" were almost shouted out, and with it, the spiritual shock surged. A massive spiritual pressure burst forth from his slender physique...
Niu Xiaohua faced such a powerful spiritual shock and could barely withstand it, but Aragaki Nigaki remained completely motionless. He stared blankly at the other, "His power..."
"Mr.Nigaki, Dongye's spiritual ladder has reached the 18th stage, while the Great Ancestor of the Eastern Emperor's spiritual ladder is only up to the 20th stage. We're in trouble...""
"Who cares! I've finally recovered. Xiao Hua, step back. I haven't been fooling around all day for the past twelve days. Court secretly taught me a lot. Now, leave it to me."
It turned out that on the third day after Court left, he performed a spell and sent the spirit talisman over. In addition to recording the so-called "settings" of this world, the talisman also included a method for invoking spiritual power. Although the spiritual power of humans and demons comes from different sources, the methods are quite similar.
These days, Aragaki Nigaki has been practicing in his spare time while hunting. Although he hasn't reached the peak, he is already quite proficient.
Previously, I suffered serious injuries and had to endure hardships, but now?
No need anymore!
Aragaki Nigaki With a push of both feet, he rose from the ground and charged straight towards Dongye Xun. His right palm clenched into a fist and struck directly at the opponent's face. The latter folded the fan with a "snap" to deflect the punch, then followed up with a kick to the opponent's chest.
Aragaki Nigaki has a modern and unconventional mindset, even when it comes to fighting. When he saw the opponent's kick coming, he suddenly got playful. He leaned back and when the kick came, he suddenly lifted it up with force using his left hand.
Dongye Xun instantly lost his balance, fell on his back, and landed on the ground with a thud. The fall made him see stars and his vision went dark.
Niu Xiaohua burst into laughter on the side. "You bastard! No sense of sportsmanship!" Dongye Xun cursed in frustration. He had always believed himself to be stronger than Aragaki Nigaki and never thought he would be played by him, especially in front of Niu Xiaohua. This made Dongye Xun furious.
"Stinky kid... Are you tired of living? In that case, I don't need to consider our many years of friendship." Before finishing his words, he swiftly moved and took a step forward, throwing a punch at Aragaki Nigaki's chest. Aragaki Nigaki was feeling quite pleased, but the sudden blow left his mind blank, and a sharp pain surged from the depths of his heart.
At the same time, both feet left the ground, and the body flew straight out for more than ten meters before falling heavily to the ground.
"Don't come over!" Aragaki Nigaki shouted, "This is between him and me. Xiaohua, you've done enough for me. This time, I have to solve it myself!"
"That's right, Xiaohua. It's time for the two of us to settle this."
Dongye Xun also said so.
The two almost rushed towards each other at the same time in an instant. Two huge demonic forces collided frantically.
One black and one white figure flew from the ground to the roof, then from the roof to the cliff, and then fell back to the ground from the cliff. The spiritual energy scattered on the battlefield, the smoke and dust flew, the fierce wind stirred, and nothing remained standing.
Even the Hunter's only legacy, the wooden house, was torn down and turned into ruins. After a hundred moves, Aragaki Nigaki gradually felt unable to continue. He had previously been seriously injured, his meridians were blocked, and his spiritual level could not reach its previous level. Although he had learned a lot of spirit control techniques in the Court's spells, the problem was that his spiritual power was no longer as much as before.
Spiritual power is exhausted, no matter how many methods are used to control it, and no matter how many martial arts and spells are used, it is all in vain.
Aragaki Nigaki exerted all his strength to strike. Dongye Xun did not dodge or avoid, easily deflecting the attack, while also pressing on Aragaki's forehead.
"Is this the man you're looking for?" He turned to Niu Xiaohua and sneered.
As soon as the words fell, the fingers tightened and fiercely smashed the opponent's head towards the ground.
With a loud bang, a large pit was smashed into the ground.
Aragaki Nigaki lay motionless on the ground.
Dongye Xun looked down at Aragaki Nigaki with disdain, while a small black object appeared in the palm of his hand. He condensed his spiritual power to ignite it, and a black flame immediately rose up.
"Black Dragon Soul Bullet?!" exclaimed Niu Xiaohua in astonishment.
"What... what...? What's... the meaning of this? You... you scoundrel?"
