As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1718 - 448: The Underworld Has Experts Niu 1 and Niu 2, Skipping Rules to Feed Dao Fruit [Monthly Ticket Requested]

Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Powerful figures from sects, ancient families, and distant lands converged outside Qi Tian City, drawn by the Demon God Venerable's proclamation, fracturing human alliances as they formed wary camps before the three guarded gates. Xuan Jiu Zhuan reunited with Lv Taibai, congratulating his breakthrough to Divine Tribulation while revealing the dire troubles plaguing Xuanfu Divine Sect that forced his departure. Tension mounted as no cultivator dared challenge the imposing Demon Gods, their immortal lives too precious to risk, while Li Che, sensing a stirring in his Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, concealed his true form behind the Painting Immortal Avatar amid the growing unease.

A surge of mighty beings endowed with Heaven and Earth Soul rushed forward and expanded, rapidly detecting the various Jianghu guests assembled to spectate.

Within their ranks, a robust silhouette clad in a dark robe and topped with a bamboo hat gradually stepped out from the crowd, advancing steadily one step at a time.

The dark robe billowed wildly in the gusts, whipping with intensity.

His features remained hidden beneath the brim, impossible to discern.

Yet this lone form pressed on toward the grand and imposing Qi Tian City, where Demon Gods unleashed towering columns of demonic energy, wreaking havoc across the land.

The thoughts of many onlookers stirred faintly.

"Who could that be?"

Wonder filled the heads of countless individuals.

Jianghu guest?

In the world of martial arts, how many reckless fools exist?

Various Divine Tribulation cultivators lurked nearby, eager to spot who would crack first, only for... a mere Jianghu guest to dash out and court destruction?

During such a grand occurrence, could a Jianghu guest possibly interfere?

A cold detachment filled many eyes, laced with subtle scorn.

The assembled powerhouses originated from diverse Great Divine Sects, the Da Jing Dynasty, the Da Li Royal Court, Ancient Families, and other influential forces.

They naturally held little regard for the Jianghu guest.

Merely enjoying a entertaining show.

The silhouette in the dark robe and bamboo hat proceeded slowly to the foot of the West City Tower.

From his perch on the city gate, the Heavenly Crane Demon God directed a piercing stare like a blade, chilling to the extreme, as if slicing the atmosphere itself.

The formidable aura of calamity inherent to Divine Tribulation cultivators crashed down like a colossal peak.

Nevertheless, the black-cloaked and hooded Jianghu guest displayed no hint of quivering.

Completely composed.

Boom—!!!

In the following instant, an immense aura of a Martial Saint burst outward!

Aloft the tower.

The Heavenly Crane Demon God narrowed his eyes: "Four-Open Martial Saint... Ha."

"White Mantis Demon King, handle this one."

"Consider it your meal."

Upon uttering that, a flash of pale blade light erupted from his rear, accompanied by churning sword intent that surged without end!

White Mantis Demon King... a fearsome demon lord on par with elite peak Martial Saints, among the initial five demon kings who seized Qi Tian City.

Yet with the influx of many potent demon gods from Ten Thousand Rivers, these demon kings had slowly shifted to supporting positions.

The White Mantis Demon King touched down on the terrain, causing the soil ahead of Qi Tian City to split as if struck by unseen sword intent.

Despite his human-like shape, his arms ended not in hands but in two extended razor-sharp white sickles merged with his skeleton.

With a subtle flick of the dual sickles, the very atmosphere seemed rent asunder.

Elite peak against a Four-Open Martial Saint...

Absolutely no question of the outcome.

Still, the Jianghu guest offered a faint grin, his tone deep and echoing.

"Is it possible to slay it?"

A soft murmur rose from the Jianghu guest, apparently aimed at the Black Bull Demon God Venerable hovering over Qi Tian City, enveloped in layers of demonic aura.

The enormous orbs of the Black Bull Demon God Venerable narrowed just a bit.

"Naturally, it is."

"Defeating the foe by killing counts as triumph."

"Should you manage to eliminate my demon race’s demon king, proceed. However, if you fall short and get slain by my demon race’s demon king... it simply means you're too weak, yet chose to step forward."

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable’s voice boomed like a mighty gong.

At the sound of the Black Bull Demon God Venerable’s declaration, the bulging eyes of the White Mantis Demon King flared brightly.

"Perish—!!!"

Bang—!

As his foot stamped down solidly, the nearby winds and metallic air roiled, pale surges rolled out, blasts of air repelled everything, innumerous sword intents slashed densely in all directions!

The instant the White Mantis Demon King attacked.

All eyes sharpened, locking onto the scene.

Boom—!!!

Myriad sword intents fused with demonic power detonated without delay.

The Jianghu guest’s bamboo hat got sheared by the sword intent, exposing locks of hair as dark and vital as ebony thunderbolts, whipping wildly through the sky, amid bursts of pale surges.

Under the raven tresses lay a visage concealed by a Cute Bull Mask, carved upon it with a blade the single character "One."

Boom—

Sword intent detonated explosively!

The elite peak White Mantis Demon King abruptly detected an awful force pressing upon him!

Countless sword intents hacked down savagely!

And the watching assembly abruptly stirred to life.

Hmm?!

"Bull Demon?!"

Suddenly, that moniker flashed through many minds.

Netherworld Ox Demon!

His fame was immense, or more precisely, in the current era, the Netherworld name had gained widespread acclaim, far beyond the days right after emerging from Flying Thunder.

Netherworld!

What was once presumed a foolish suicide rush by a Jianghu guest now ignited brilliant sparks in the eyes of cultivators from all great factions!

Even the Divine Tribulation experts appeared stirred, their potent Heaven and Earth Soul rapidly probing outward.

"I hail from Netherworld... Niu Yi."

A raspy tone resounded from under the Cute Bull Mask bearing the etched mark.

Boom—

The form’s physique abruptly swelled, sinews like twisting serpents piling up, five digits gripped tight, nine fierce tendons of the Furious Dragon nearly bursting the dark robe!

The White Mantis Demon King unleashing his sword intent suddenly felt his senses scream in alarm, confronting an immense weight as if a peak were collapsing onto him.

Inside, his demonic power seemed hunted by a dread Demon God, an overwhelming force that rooted him in place.

"Ah—!!!"

The peril of demise cascaded over him, prompting the White Mantis Demon King to roar in fury.

Brandishing his mantis blades, he slashed out furiously to break free of the mysterious burden, endless sword intents blended with demonic power, hacking relentlessly!
