Chapter 172 - Devour Again (2/2)

“Husband, what are you talking about? If you don’t explain it today, I’ll… Ah, w-what’s this?” The woman reproached with a red face, but she suddenly widened her eyes and stared at the item in the man’s hand. Her mouth was also opened to the extreme.

“I found this in the henhouse,” The man waved his hand and said with a soft voice. He glanced around him before he continued, “Our chickens are gone, but we gained a piece of silver. T-this is probably a reward from the fox fairy, and if you keep shouting, the fairy might take back the silver because it’ll be mad!”

The woman was taken aback, hence she mumbled, “Husband, was it really the fox fairy?”

“Other than the fox fairy, who could secretly take away our chickens? Ah, only the kind and generous fox fairy would give us such a blessing!” The man responded.

The woman nodded as she believed him.

They kowtowed a few times before they carefully took the piece of silver to hide it.

Ou Yangming, who was hiding in a high spot, did not know to cry or to laugh when he watched them. They actually think I’m the fox fairy.’ After an hour, all four families who suffered the loss noticed it, but they kept quiet after seeing the gold or silver left by Ou Yangming, and they pretended to not know a thing. Ou Yangming did not sense any crisis as well.

He shook his head because he knew that the powerful being probably did not pursue him.

Despite that, Ou Yangming pondered and decided to not return to where he came from for the time being. He flashed and ran toward the west side of the prefecture.

The prefecture was naturally situated in the middle of the plain, so its roads extended in all directions.

That said, due to their population and productivity, they could not attend to every location.

A mountain range could be found roughly 15 kilometers away from the prefecture. There was obviously an ancient forest, as well as threats like tigers, leopards, jackals, and so

on.

Since Ou Yangming suspected that a powerhouse wanted to sneak an attack on him to harm him, he would likely be attacked if he traveled back to the prefecture right away. Even though Ou Yangming was rather confident about his strength, the powerhouse, who appeared without a warning, gave him quite a frightening impression, so he decided to avoid the figure for the time being.

As Ou Yangming traveled at the speed of light, he believed that even a tracking master could not locate him.

At last, when Ou Yangming arrived outside the mountain range, he inspected his surroundings for a moment before he entered with his little dagger.

He was not equipped with pieces of personalized equipment at the moment, but the forest was not like the dangerous immense forest, where half-spirit beasts were born.

Moreover, Ou Yangming had become incredibly skilled and bold, thus he would not be concerned about the dangers in the forest.

However, his eyes glowed a while after he entered the forest.

Ou Yangming walked toward a bamboo pole. He pulled it out and removed its ends, then he lit it up with his Military Fire.

It only took an instant before the Military Fire enveloped the whole bamboo pole, but even under the high temperature, the bamboo did not burn, and it became s.h.i.+nier instead.

Ou Yangming moved his wrist to place his dagger on one end of the bamboo pole.

Next, a simple and crude spear was made. Ou Yangming grinned as he held the spear, then he ran inside the mountain range.

As Ou Yangming flashed, he had released his power to the extreme. When he wielded the spear with his hands, it gave out cracking sounds, which were similar to sonic booms, and he slashed his spear hard.

Consequently, a small unknown beast was. .h.i.t, but before the tip of Ou Yangming’s spear contacted its body, its chest was already penetrated, and it was very much dead already.

With that, Ou Yangming ran around the area without being restrained at all. He had fully let go of his mental conception to allow himself to become one with the magnificent world.

When he ran around madly, his conception spread out like quicksilver spilling all over the ground, causing his spiritual world to be clearer than ever.

Ou Yangming’s mental state underwent a slight change when he previously found out about Jiang Jiumei. As such, he did not hesitate to kill and even fought a Supreme Great Ancestor when he tried to seek justice.

He was forgiven in the end, which was surprising, and he also learned many extraordinary skills from Chen Dishou.

Nonetheless, during the period, especially when Ou Yangming exchanged blows with Chen Dishou, the enormous pressure from the Supreme Great Ancestor made it hard for him to breathe. When he was later sneakily attacked by an unknown powerhouse, the mental pressure on him grew.

Finally, Ou Yangming completely released his mind.

He came to a sudden realization that this side of the world was beautiful and wonderful.

Following that, his essential Qi began to agglomerate and flowed quickly through his meridians, then it gathered inside his dantian.

Ou Yangming’s essential Qi was no longer an airflow. It seemed to have transformed into the spear in his hands as it could communicate with Heaven and Earth.

Afterward, Ou Yangming leaped up abruptly to mid-air and roared as he p.r.i.c.ked with his spear.

The spear contained his essence, energy, spirit, as well as his apprehensions from his difficult learnings in the past few days.

When Ou Yangming stabbed, the acc.u.mulated power in his dantian burst out and broke through every obstacle to soar into the sky…

“Boom!”

Inside Ou Yangming’s body, there was a rumble in his mind. He flashed and landed steadily, and his aura surged and boiled-he had finally advanced again!
