Ou Yangming’s face changed, and he quickly shouted, “Big Yellow, stop fooling aroundbusiness first!”
The big dog halted and stared at Ou Yangming in confusion.
“Big Yellow, he wants to kill me!” Ou Yangming looked up and explained.
Upon hearing that, the big yellow dog turned around to fix its gaze on Cheng Bingyu, and it released an even more fearsome killing intent.
Cheng Bingyu had a ghastly look on his face. He initially thought he could capture the little Yin Grade martial artist easily, hence he had been playing a cat-and-mouse game with the young fellow.
Who knew, Ou Yangming was more persevering than he had expected.
The young fellow could not get tired from running, Not only was his endurance beyond belief, but he also had an unordinary understanding of the Chen family’s spear technique, which he performed unusually.
Despite that, none of those shocked him as much as the half-spirit beast’s appearance did.
The big yellow dog bared its teeth and roared at Cheng Bingyu. It was not loud, but it sounded thunderous to him, and the pressure caused him to stop breathing.
Cheng Bingyu looked deeply at Ou Yangming, then he swayed and decided to flee to the distance.
Being a Supreme Great Ancestor, he was firm and decisive.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming yelled as soon as the elder leaped in the air, “Big Yellow, bite him!”
Cheng Bingyu almost fell from mid-air. ‘That’s a half-spirit beast, which is equivalent to a great ancestor, yet the young fella summoned it like he would a normal dog…’ Next, a sense of crisis rose in the elder’s heart.
Cheng Bingyu dared not react slowly. He merged his essence, energy, and spirit with nature, then he did a wonderful turn in the air.
Although the elder could not oppress his opponent in terms of martial arts state through the integration of Heaven and man, he could gain an upper hand because of his skills. By relying on this state, he could usually prevail against an equal-ranked powerhouse.
Nevertheless, after turning in a semicircle mid-air, Cheng Bingyu looked grim and slightly afraid. This was because he noticed a dog’s claw at his waist, and it seemed like the claw was already waiting in advance because the dog had seen through his movements earlier.
Cheng Bingyu’s heart sank at that moment.
“Pow!”
Without any delay, he flapped his left sleeve, and it became entangled with the dog’s claw.
A soft voice was heard when the two incredibly mighty powers clashed in mid-air, followed by an energy wave.
This was the first time the two great-ancestor-level powerhouses met force with force, and they both gave their all without any reservations.
Cheng Bingyu trembled and flew a few meters back before he gained a foothold; the big yellow dog only made a turn in mid-air before it stood firmly on the ground. Big Yellow was a dog, but it was definitely not an ordinary dog. If it stood up, it would be a head taller than a normal person. Besides, the big dog was a naturally gifted half-spirit beast, so it was certainly superior to humans in terms of power alone.
Humans were able to defeat countless strong ferocious beasts, not because of their advantage in power and speed, but because they were intelligent enough to smith pieces of equipment and refine pills that could upgrade their strengths. If a human were to compare one’s body quality with an equal-ranked half-spirit beast…
Not to mention when Cheng Bingyu was exhausted after pursuing Ou Yangming for a long time, even if the elder was full of vigor, he could not have gotten any advantage in the reckless fight.
Cheng Bingyu expressed as he stared at the big yellow dog, “The integration of Heaven and man.”
‘This big yellow dog must’ve achieved the integration of Heaven and man, or it couldn’t have perceived my body technique.
‘It’s exceptionally rare for a half-spirit beast to become a Supreme Great Ancestor, let alone comprehending the integration of Heaven and man.
‘How lucky is Ou Yangming to be favored by this powerful half-spirit beast?!’
The big yellow dog and Ou Yangming exchanged glances, and they both looked cunning.
How could the big dog have beaten the elder to it if it only relied on the integration of Heaven and man?
After Ou Yangming entered the Chaos Cave for the second time and reunited with the big yellow dog, the connection between their consciousnesses became closer. Previously, they could not sense each other when Ou Yangming left the Chaos Cave. Now, they could vaguely sense each other’s existence and mental state even if they were at different ends of the world.
This was why Ou Yangming could summon the big yellow dog and was so confident about
it.
een
Moreover, due to the connection between their mental powers, when they were together, the big yellow dog’s vision was more than just the integration of Heaven man; it could also achieve the thoroughly meticulous state.
Ou Yangming chuckled. “Big Yellow, he already used his equipment, so what are you waiting for?”
Cheng Bingyu was stunned and immediately knew that he was in a terrible spot.
That said, having witnessed Big Yellow’s speed, the elder gave up on the thought to escape. The big yellow dog opened its mouth and spat out a peculiar item, then it kicked it to put it on its body. Subsequently, many other strange items were spat out, and the big yellow dog was fully equipped after a brief moment. It was a full set of armor that was specially smithed for the big yellow dog.
Cheng Bingyu gasped and began to feel despair.
‘A great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast that’s wearing the crystallization of mankind’s intelligence… Am I doomed today?’
Ou Yangming stepped forward leisurely and activated his Military Fire, which he used to burn the big yellow dog’s right claw. The fire instantly enveloped the claw, and it extinguished after a short while.
Cheng Bingyu questioned while he looked with his sharp eyes, “Were you the one who smithed its equipment set?” “That’s right!” Ou Yangming smiled with squinted eyes. “You’ll have a taste of it soon, senior.”
“Hmph!” Cheng Bingyu scoffed. “Ou Yangming, don’t think you’ve secured victory. If I fight this life-or-death battle, I’ll surely make you suffer too!”
Ou Yangming grinned. “Senior, you’re right, so I asked Big Yellow to be fully equipped before it fights you.” Cheng Bingyu was startled, and he regretted watching like a fool when the big yellow equipped itself.
However, it was his first time coming across something like that, and he had never heard of something as odd as the ability to swallow an equipment set. “Woof!”
The big yellow dog barked impatiently and charged at its opponent. It was excited and highly spirited.
It had not been in a battle ever since it entered the Chaos Cave with Ou Yangming, thus it had been itching to let itself loose.
Cheng Bingyu watched with bright eyes. Even though he was in a disadvantageous spot, he did not panic. Being faced with the big yellow dog’s sudden attack, the elder widened his eyes and shouted. Instead of retreating, he advanced forward like a flash of light.
He wanted to display his death-defying spirit, and he knew that he could only break free by injuring the big yellow dog. Impacts were continuously heard while Cheng Bingyu moved backward all of a sudden. His face reddened as a result, which was untypical. His wish was delightful, but the reality was sorrowful. Big Yellow would naturally fear Cheng Bingyu’s desperate attack if it was not equipped, but it was no longer afraid because he was fully equipped with pieces of equipment. In fact, Cheng Bingyu’s attempt to meet force with force was exactly what the big dog wanted.
Throughout the tens of blows in a short time, while Cheng Bingyu activated his potential and gave his all, he was inferior to Big Yellow, who became stronger due to the equipment set’s attributes.
The big yellow dog landed gently and seemed to be at ease. It looked like it wanted to continue the fig
ht.
Cheng Bingyu took a deep breath and exerted force on his legs as he charged once more, but he turned to lunge at Ou Yangming halfway through.
Since the elder could not go against Big Yellow, he decided to sneak an attack on Ou Yangming. It was beneath his dignity for him to do something like that, but he could not be bothered.
In spite of that, his vision became blurry as soon as he turned; tens of wolf fangs were thrown in his direction.
Cheng Bingyu made a series of attacks with his palms, but he was shocked.
‘How did Ou Yangming know what I intended to do?’ The great ancestor became fearful when he recalled the instant change from the Back Spear Thrust. ‘Is this young fella’s understanding of nature only at the integration of Heaven and man?’
“Pow, pow, pow…”
Just as the elder was feeling afraid, the wolf fangs in front of him exploded and turned into thousands of shards that shrouded him.
Cheng Bingyu screamed weirdly and hit the shards with his palms, but he could not stop all of them.
Roughly ten areas on his body were hurt because he was injured by the bizarre hidden weapon. Following that, Cheng Bingyu felt an even more intense and heartbreaking pain on his right leg. Without him knowing, the big yellow dog had seized the opportunity to pierce his right leg with its claw.
A considerable amount of blood flowed out, but they vanished before they landed on the ground. On the other hand, the big yellow dog’s right claw glowed in a strange light.
As soon as Cheng Bingyu fell to the ground, ten more wolf fangs were hurled at him. When he tried to stop the attack again, he was left with two more injuries on his leg.
The wounds burned and were unbearable as though something was stirring his flesh and blood, so much so that he almost passed out due to the pain. In addition, the elder’s mind began to wander.
A cold-light was seen in front of him as the shiny spear appeared. Cheng Bingyu forcefully blocked it with his left sleeve, but the spear penetrated his sleeve and his shoulder blade until it pinned him to the ground. Almost at the same time, the big yellow dog widened its sacrificial-bowl-sized mouth to bite the elder’s right arm…
Chapter 210 - Devouring A Supreme Great Ancestor
Cheng Bingyu groaned in pain and fell to the ground as he could not move anymore.
The big yellow dog was merciless when he bit and swung Cheng Bingyu’s arm with its sharp teeth, causing the elder’s arm to be completely crippled.
As Ou Yangming and the big yellow dog joined hands, the nearly exhausted Supreme Great Ancestor was finally taken down.
Cheng Bingyu squirmed his body and instantly felt the unbearable pain. He smiled miserably because he knew he could no longer escape. “You won’t end well!” Cheng Bingyu uttered with his dying breath as he glared at Ou Yangming and the big yellow dog. Right after he cursed, his breathing became weaker until he stopped breathing. Ou Yangming and the big yellow dog were regretful when they looked at each other.
They cooperated well earlier, and they intended to capture the Extreme Grade powerhouse alive. Who knew, Cheng Bingyu had such a tough temperament that he decided to give up his life knowing that he would be doomed.
Ou Yangming sighed and shook his head at the corpse.
Since Cheng Bingyu asked about the Fire-absorbing Badge, the treasure had to be related to him. Ou Yangming initially wanted to get to the bottom of it, but it was impossible for him to do that now.
A peculiar light was seen on the tip of Ou Yangming’s spear while no blood was seen flowing out from the elder’s shoulder blade because it was absorbed by the Devouring attribute. Nonetheless, Ou Yangming had thrown the spear forward earlier, so the enormous energy was being wasted given that nobody was holding it.
When the young fellow went forward to hold the spear handle, the mighty energy immediately gushed into his body. Ou Yangming looked like he was fully immersed in the process, but he quickly suppressed his facial expression. Back then, Ou Yangming had completely absorbed energy from Zhang Hanyu’s flesh and blood, but he did not understand the Devouring attribute. Now that he was aware of the attribute’s function, unless he hated someone to the bones, he would refrain from devouring a person’s flesh and blood.
Soon enough, Ou Yangming withdrew his spear.
It was at that moment Ou Yangming noticed through his consciousness an insignificant detail.
Cheng Bingyu’s remaining leg, which was still intact, moved a little.
If another person had noticed this, one would only think that it was a natural movement from the leg because the spear had just been pulled out.
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was still vigilant, and the thoroughly meticulous state alerted him right away.
He flew backward by using the tip of his toes, whereas the big yellow dog widened its eyes and charged forward.
Cheng Bingyu, whose breath of life had fully disappeared, suddenly opened his eyes and kicked Ou Yangming like a madman.
Despite that, the kick landed on the big yellow dog instead of Ou Yangming.
The big yellow dog was in pain, and its eyeballs protruded. Even though it had superb physicality and the protection from its full equipment set, it almost stopped breathing because of the kick.
Cheng Bingyu had just undergone a momentary recovery of consciousness before he died, and he gathered his greatest power in his life on the kick.
That said, the big yellow dog was the big yellow dog, after all. It forcefully blocked the kick, then it widened its large mouth to bite Cheng Bingyu’s throat. At the same time, the dog pressed its claw deep into the elder’s chest.
Cheng Bingyu had a hideous look on his face, and he kept quivering like he was suffering from malaria.
The elder was tremendously frightened. At his last gasp, he felt that not only his life and power were slipping away, but his soul was also disappearing in a terrifying way.
Although Cheng Bingyu could not understand everything, he was overwhelmed by fear, which was a natural feeling that he had as a powerhouse. This was definitely not how a normal person would die.
A final thought crossed his mind at that instant.
‘That legend… That earth-shattering legend, which is known to be the most fearsome…’
Following that, the elder’s consciousness completely sank.
It was worth noting that the energy in a Supreme Great Ancestor’s blood and flesh was substantial. Through the Devouring attributed, it flowed endlessly into the big yellow dog’s body.
The big yellow dog suffered a hard kick from Cheng Bingyu a while ago. Though it killed the elder in the end, its body bore a slight injury. However, as the nearly unbelievable amount of energy from the elder’s blood and flesh gushed into the big dog’s body, it fully recovered from its injury in a split second.
On top of that, the big yellow dog’s body expanded a bit. If its body was not confined by its armor, the change would have been visible to the naked eye.
Even so, an odd red color was faintly seen in the big yellow dog’s eyes, and it was hair-raising.
As Ou Yangming stood still, he looked rather afraid too.
He thought, ‘If I was slightly negligent just now, I would’ve suffered the kick instead.
‘If that was the case, the consequence would be unbearable.’
Seeing as Cheng Bingyu’s body was quickly disappearing in front of him, Ou Yangming felt a chill down his spine.
He did not feel anything when he normally used the Devouring attribute to absorb energy from a creature’s flesh and blood. This time, when he watched as an outsider and saw a human being devoured by the wicked power, the feeling of fear from the bottom of his heart was indescribable.
“Puff, puff…”
The big yellow dog breathed heavily, and its eyes were becoming redder. Ou Yangming inhaled deeply and released his Dantian Power at once, then he yelled, “Big Yellow!”
The big yellow dog was stunned, but the red in his eyes faded away. It shook his head as
though he was also confused by his reaction earlier. Subsequently, the big dog stuck its tongue out and wagged its tail as it pounced on Ou Yangming.
A thud was heard as Ou Yangming was pushed to the ground. The bloody mouth was in his face, and the dog’s saliva splattered on his face along with some blood.
Ou Yangming did his best to struggle, but he soon realized that his little power was not worth mentioning as compared to the big yellow dog’s enormous power. As such, he could only glare at the big dog resentfully.
The big yellow dog cast a strange look at ou Yangming because the young fellow’s reaction was not what it had expected. It was startled when it noticed the blood on Ou Yangming’s face, then its eyes wandered about as if it was deep in thought.
Ou Yangming scoffed. “Why are you still being in a daze? Get off me now!”
The big yellow dog jumped like it got an electric shock, and it kept hopping around Ou Yangming to take credit and to fawn over him.
Ou Yangming got up and wiped the blood on his face; he was unbothered.
After experiencing many life-or-death battles, he became more courageous too.
He was not concerned when he was faced with fear between life or death, so he was not disgusted by the little blood too.
“Big Yellow, you… Seemed to have become heavier?” Ou Yangming asked the big yellow dog. The big yellow dog stuck out its tongue as if it was embarrassed.
A thought crossed Ou Yangming’s mind. “Is this fella asking me to reform its equipment
set?”
The big dog immediately shook happily; Ou Yangming did not know to laugh or to cry at its proud look.
Ou Yangming shook his head and turned around to walk toward where Cheng Bingyu disappeared from. Even though the elder’s body disappeared, his belongings remained. The young fellow’s eyes lit up when he searched the elder’s clothes.
He retrieved two Fire-absorbing Badges.
Sure enough, Zhang Yinli and his son had a Fire-absorbing Badge, hence Zhang Yinli’s master possessed the same treasure.
Ou Yangming frowned a little when he knocked on the badges. He simply withdrew the Devouring attribute when he encountered such an item in the past, but he did not pay attention to its material.
