With the death of the Nine Infant, Lu Yang’s side was filled with high spirits, seizing the momentum to end the battle in one fell swoop.
“Barbarian Combat Technique—One Force Overwhelms Ten Skills!”
Barbarian Bone roared, striking with both fists from left and right, crushing the head of the armored beast.
The patterned giant python got lost in an illusion, lost its sanity, and swallowed half of its own body. By the time it woke up, it was too late to save itself.
Meng Jingzhou, seeing Lu Yang slay two monsters with one sword, felt a sense of competition rise within him. He used the Heaven Shaking Six Forms to forcefully kill both the tiger demon and the lion demon, not even giving them a chance to escape.
The three of them, Meng Jingzhou, Barbarian Bone, and Peach Blossom Leaf, panted heavily, their faces beaming with smiles.
No matter what, they had finally won this battle.
Lu Yang hadn’t expended much energy; he had just used the power of Everlasting Fairy.
“Dispel!”
With the battle over, there was no need to maintain the appearance of Everlasting Fairy.
As soon as he returned to his original form, Lu Yang felt his mind become more active, and his thinking became less singular than before.
“What did I just do?!”
Recalling his foolish actions just now, Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat.
“You did pretty well just now, very much like my style!” Everlasting Fairy gave a thumbs-up, praising Lu Yang for having the potential of an immortal.
“That’s the biggest problem!”
Reflecting on the recent battle, Lu Yang realized that using the Yellow Bean Fist to transform into Everlasting Fairy did indeed boost his combat power significantly, even explosively.
He could guarantee that using the Yellow Bean Fist, he was invincible in the Foundation Building Stage; no one could match him.
But the price was too high.
Silly laughter, saying foolish things... Fortunately, he hadn’t done anything too outrageous this time, otherwise, how could he face anyone if word got out?
Lu Yang secretly decided to treat the Yellow Bean Fist as a forbidden technique, to be used only as a last resort.
“Fairy, I can’t easily mimic you in the future, it’s too dangerous,” Lu Yang sighed, feeling like he was trading his brain for power.
“I don’t think it’s dangerous at all?” Everlasting Fairy was puzzled.Alll latest novels on novelbin/(.)com
“Impressive, Lu Yang! You even killed the Nine Infant. I didn’t expect your Shape-Imitating Fist to be so powerful,” Meng Jingzhou laughed heartily.
“Too bad I can’t learn your Lu Family’s Shape-Imitating Fist. Otherwise, I’d transform into my dad or my grandpa, borrow their power, and see who could beat me!” At this point, Meng Jingzhou showed a regretful expression.
Barbarian Bone stripped the scales off the armored beast. The scales were hard and not easy to grip, making them good material for armor.
“We’ll take these back and show them to Junior Brother Hao Ran.” Barbarian Bone put the scales into his identity jade pendant.
The four of them tidied up, built a bonfire, and started preparing dinner.
From the auction in the morning, to the dense forest at noon, and the battle in the afternoon, they had been busy all day and needed a break.
Especially after acquiring so many good ingredients, it would be a shame not to have a meal.
“Can we eat lion? I’ve heard there’s a traditional Central Plains dish called lion’s head. I’ve never had it,” Barbarian Bone suggested.
Peach Blossom Leaf was silent for a moment before saying, “Is it possible that the lion’s head you heard about isn’t the same as the one we have now?”
“Aren’t they both called lion’s head?”
“... Fine, lion’s head it is. We’ll eat lion today.” (TL Note: Lion’s Head or stewed meatball is a dish from the Huaiyang cuisine of eastern China, consisting of large pork meatballs or beef meatballs stewed with vegetables. The name “lion’s head”, derives from the shape of the meatball which is supposed to resemble the head of the Chinese guardian lion, specifically.)
Everyone worked together. Although Barbarian Bone had never eaten lion, he had often handled other beasts in the barbarian tribe, and the process was similar. He was responsible for preparing the lion.
Lu Yang chopped down a large tree and used the Qingfeng Sword to carve a three-meter-long stick to skewer the lion.
Meng Jingzhou set up a large automatic barbecue array and erected the grill.
Peach Blossom Leaf searched the surrounding area for edible fruits to balance out the heaviness of the meat.
Barbarian Bone plucked the lion’s fur and removed its internal organs, brushing it with a secret barbarian race sauce. Lu Yang skewered the lion, placed it on the grill, and lit it with the Three Flavours True Fire.
In the large automatic barbecue array, the lion was skewered on a stick, slowly rotating, sizzling with oil under the heat of the Three Flavours True Fire, emitting a mouth-watering aroma.
Barbarian Bone stared at the lion, lost in thought.
“Barbarian Bone, what’s wrong?” Lu Yang thought Barbarian Bone was homesick.
“I was thinking that the automatic barbecue array is mainly for small skewers. When dealing with whole roasted lamb, whole roasted lion, or other large animals, it’s somewhat inadequate, and the heating is uneven, which really tests the barbecue master’s skills.”
“So you’re thinking...” Lu Yang wasn’t sure what Barbarian Bone meant.
“I heard some sects in the southern border are good at controlling corpses. Can we learn such techniques and apply them to barbecuing?”
“For example, controlling the corpse of a lamb so it roasts itself over the fire?”
Lu Yang: “...”
Am I the only sane person in the Dao Seeking Sect?
