Chapter 80: This Is The Real Father
I don’t know if this Nine-Lived Cat Demon guy has some kind of problem.
You said you wanted to kill Big Brother, so just do it! But no, he just kept kicking me.
He beat me so much that I gained several pounds and looked like a bruised and swollen mess.
At this moment, the four old cat demon women from before also flew over, kneeling to the side and continuously kowtowing to the Nine-Lived Cat Demon.
The Nine-Lived Cat Demon snorted at them, “Hmph!”
As the sound fell, all four of them vomited blood, as if struck by a heavy blow.
Of course, while doing all that, it didn’t give me a moment to breathe; its foot never stopped.
“Ah, fuck!” Better death than dishonor!
Seizing the opportunity, I grabbed the foot the Nine-Lived Cat Demon was kicking me with, and bit down hard!
Fuck you, I’ll bite you to death.
“Meow!”
The Nine-Lived Cat Demon cried out in pain and threw me away forcefully.
It probably didn’t expect me to bite it. Everyone says a desperate rabbit will bite, but I’ve never heard of a cultivator biting when desperate.
“Pah!”
Spitting out the cat fur, which tasted slightly salty, Big Brother immediately felt nauseous and gagged.
“Ugh, gag…”
Damn it, this bastard’s stinky feet are even more sour than mine! Oh, fuck! The smell almost made me puke up the spicy hot pot I ate half a month ago.
Perhaps angered by my bite, the Nine-Lived Cat Demon flew next to Big Brother and tried to strangle him.
Just as Big Brother felt he was about to meet his glorious end.
At this moment,
“Stop!”
A deafening roar, filled with unparalleled overbearing qi and majesty, suddenly sounded, as if it would shatter the entire heaven and earth.
Following this roar, the previously flat and unremarkable ground began to tremble violently. Then, a colossal iron gate, as black as ink and like a pillar supporting the sky, suddenly rose from underground!
This iron gate towered into the clouds, exuding immense power. Its surface shimmered with a strange and mysterious light. Even more astonishingly, countless ferocious-looking evil ghosts, baring fangs and brandishing claws, swirled and flew in the air above the gate, emitting extremely piercing wails that made one’s blood run cold.
“Creak!” This incomparably heavy iron gate slowly swung open to both sides. In an instant, an indescribably powerful aura surged forward, as if a dark force from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds was about to erupt.
Beyond the gradually opening iron gate, a figure emerged with a heroic and overbearing presence, like a savior descending upon the mortal realm. This person was tall and mighty, exuding an intangible pressure that struck awe into onlookers. Following closely behind him were White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and countless Ghost Messengers from the underworld, each with a solemn expression and marching in perfect unison, forming a chilling procession.
To my immense surprise, Xue Pan, Jin Buque, and Old Dog were among them. Upon seeing this figure, my heart was instantly filled with joy, and I was so excited I almost shouted, “Dad! This is my real dad!”
To be honest, I had harbored doubts about this godfather I vaguely and inexplicably kowtowed to nine times before. But at this moment, I sincerely sighed, “Fortunately, I agreed readily back then! He managed to arrive at such a critical juncture; he’s truly amazing!”
This suddenly appearing important figure was none other than my seemingly kind and amiable, but actually unfathomably deep, godfather—King Yama!
“Let him go!” My godfather shouted as soon as he appeared. Yet, these simple three words contained an energy fluctuation beyond imagination, causing everyone present to tremble and not dare to entertain the slightest thought of resistance.
However, there was no doubt that this did not include the Nine-Lived Cat Demon that was currently gripping my neck tightly with one hand.
It let out a sinister and eerie laugh: “Jie jie jie… Hmph! I thought it would be some formidable character, but I didn’t expect it to be Lord Yama from the Nine Netherworlds! What is it? Are you going to interfere in such a small matter as me disciplining a trivial mortal junior?”
As it spoke, the Nine-Lived Cat Demon’s sharp, blade-like gaze fixed directly on my godfather, showing no fear whatsoever.
Clearly, it didn’t take my godfather too seriously.
Looking at Big Brother, whose face was turning purple and legs were kicking wildly.
My godfather, that bastard, didn’t seem anxious at all; he was still chatting.
“What? You’re not giving This Seat face?”
Hearing this, the Nine-Lived Cat Demon burst into laughter, “Old Yan, I’m not kidding. Putting aside the fact that I have a seat in the Heavenly Court, you know which school I graduated from. Do you dare touch me?”
Upon hearing this, my godfather frowned. This was something he truly had to consider.
The Nine-Lived Cat Demon’s words were not entirely untrue. Normally, as the king of the underworld, he couldn’t interfere with an immortal from the heavens, especially one from the Heavenly Court’s Cultivation Academy. That academy was no ordinary place; it was the Heavenly Court’s premier institution, akin to a top academy for cultivating the children of high officials in the mortal world. While the Nine-Lived Cat Demon itself might not be much, that academy was very protective of its own.
Moreover, backed by the Heavenly Court, even the Nine-Lived Cat Demon’s classmates had extraordinary backgrounds: the nephew of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, Chang’e’s Jade Rabbit, Er Lang Shen’s Sky-Howling Dog, and so on. Damn, they were all children of dignitaries.
If he really beat up the Nine-Lived Cat Demon, it would surely cause a lot of trouble later.
Even with my godfather King Yama’s status, he would find it a headache.
But seeing me about to die, with only a sliver of health left, if I didn’t return to the city to heal, I’d be saying goodbye.
My godfather gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, angrily cursing, “Damn it! The one you’re holding right now is This Seat’s godson! If you don’t let go, don’t blame This Seat for not being lenient!”
My godfather’s words only made the Nine-Lived Cat Demon tighten its grip by three more points.
My legs kicked even harder, and my eyes started rolling upwards.
Seeing this, my three very loyal good brothers quickly stepped forward to persuade my godfather, “Uncle, don’t be impulsive. Let’s talk first. Whether we fight or not is secondary; save my Big Brother first.”
“That’s right, Uncle. If Old Ghost isn’t saved soon, he’ll be gone.”
“Yes, Uncle, please save my Big Brother first. If my Big Brother dies, then I, Xue Pan, will stop collecting scrap metal and will fight this cat demon to the death.”
Hearing what they said, I was so angry!
Damn it! Let’s say, where’s your IQ? Huh? Can’t you three see I’m about to die? Fight! Hurry up and fight!
If you fight, I can escape! Why are you stopping them now?
If you don’t fight, I’m dead for sure! Fuck your ancestors! Hurry up and fight!
