746: He is my brother

Roar!

A shrill roar stirred up a giant wave of gale-force winds.

Three figures—red, white, and gold—streaked through the gale, like three arrows piercing the air.

To protect the monkeys and their descendants on Mount Huaguo, Qin Yang, Yang Jian, and Nezha did not manifest their Dharmakayas.

The Dharmakaya, a Divine Ability, comes with a Spell power boost.

Once activated, any attack would carry magical damage, completely annihilating the flesh and blood.

Fortunately, the three of them had high enough stats.

Even though the gale was like knives, it couldn't harm them in the slightest.

However, the gale was filled with resentment and anger, and when it hit their faces, it felt scorching hot, just like the Bull Demon King's furious movements.

Boom!

The Bull Demon King's massive fists swung wildly; with just one punch, he obliterated half of the mountain they had just been leaning on.

Such Divine Power, even the Taixu Human Emperor, Erlang Shen, and the Great Sea God were momentarily stunned when they witnessed it.

“If I don't manifest my Dharmakaya, getting hit by one of his punches might hurt a bit, right?”

Qin Yang thought to himself.

As a long-range Spellcaster, in previous battles, he would simply point to the sky, and thousands of blades would emerge, his position remaining completely still.

But now, he couldn't use Spells and could only condense the Hand of Imperial Authority for close-quarters combat.

Truth be told, it was quite exhilarating.

However, Qin Yang only now realized that he seemed to lack movement-based skills.

In close combat, he could only rely on his stats to move quickly and dodge attacks.

But stats weren't omnipotent.

After the Bull Demon King unleashed dozens of sonic booms, he completely sealed off Qin Yang's movement space.

Then, a fist the size of a building slammed towards Qin Yang's face.

Qin Yang could have blocked this punch with the Imperial Guard's defense.

However, he also wanted to test if he could knock down the old Bull with a full-power punch of his own.

So, he met the Bull Demon King's heavy punch with a “Royal Heavy Cannon.”

Bang!

The moment the tangible and intangible fists collided, the flesh and blood on the Bull Demon King's hand were instantly pulverized into a bloody mist, and Qin Yang was also sent flying dozens of meters back by the rebound force.

“This feeling... so hard...”

Qin Yang shook his Hand of Imperial Authority and looked at the Bull Demon King.

The Bull Demon King was also knocked backward, losing his balance.

Just then, a “clang” rang out.

A silver light flashed on the back of the Bull Demon King's left leg bone.

Yang Jian seized the opportunity of the Bull Demon King's unsteadiness and swung his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade with all his might, horizontally slicing at his left leg.

The blade heavily struck the Bull Demon King's leg bone, the immense force directly creating ripples, and the sharp blade even cut through the flesh, exposing the stark white bone.

But that was all.

The leg bone, as thick as a thousand-year-old giant tree, only sustained a shallow scratch from the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade's strike.

“What hard bones!”

Yang Jian's arm went numb from the shock of his own force, almost losing his balance. With a quick turn, he barely managed to dodge the Bull Demon King's counterattack.

Although Yang Jian wasn't imbued with Spell power at this moment, and Qin Yang hadn't manifested his Dharmakaya, this round of combat allowed the three of them to gauge the Bull Demon King's strength.

Despite the Bull Demon King's massive size, his movements were as swift as a gale, and he possessed both high offense and high defense.

And this was merely the strength of his corpse after death.

It's estimated that when he was alive, his strength wouldn't have been far off, far stronger than during the Journey to the West period.

“We need to find his weakness!” Qin Yang said to himself.

The Bull Demon King's body seemed to only be capable of physical attacks, but they also couldn't use magic, making it equivalent to a magic-forbidden stage.

This was a contest of stats against stats.

Qin Yang considered his stats to be high, but the problem was... the deceased Bull Demon King was like a tough piece of meat.

Not to mention they hadn't truly broken his defense yet; even if they did, he might not necessarily be injured.

Activating True Dragon Qi Observation, Qin Yang gazed at the Bull Demon King and immediately saw a cluster of light within his bull skull.

Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a rune carved on the inner top of his cranium.

“Indeed, it's a swastika!”

After clearly seeing the rune, Qin Yang had a plan.

Yang Jian was right; the Bull Demon King's backing was indeed the Buddhas of Spirit Mountain.

And this swastika was most likely the source driving his skeleton.

Qin Yang immediately told the two: “The weakness is at the top of his skull; there's a rune on the inside. Try to destroy it!”

“Understood! You two distract him!”

Nezha responded, then transformed into a red light and flew towards the sky.

Qin Yang and Yang Jian immediately moved forward, continuously 'scraping' at the Bull Demon King from the left and right, and above and below.

This tactic indeed worked.

Facing attacks from both sides, the Bull Demon King seemed unable to process too much information, and his movements became sluggish, completely unable to attend to attacks from above.

Clang!

Nezha, transformed into a red streak of light, descended from the sky.

The Fire-tipped Spear, devoid of flames, slammed into the Bull Demon King's skull.

After a clangorous sound erupted, Nezha's angry curses followed.

“Damn it! You call this a weakness!?”

Qin Yang looked in the direction of Nezha's shouts.

He saw Nezha being flung back by his own immense strength, while the Fire-tipped Spear remained embedded in the Bull Demon King's skull, with only half of the spearhead piercing inside.

“It's stuck in, but not through. It's really hard!”

Qin Yang thought to himself.

His True Dragon Qi Observation was still active, allowing him to see that the swastika rune inside the Bull Demon King's skull had not been destroyed.

However, if the spearhead could penetrate, it could definitely pierce through; it was just that the force was not enough earlier.

Meanwhile, the Bull Demon King, sensing the threat, became even more frenzied.

He roared to the sky, unleashing waves of sound that directly forced Yang Jian, who was trying to follow up with another attack, to retreat.

Qin Yang's gaze sharpened. Enveloping the Bull Demon King with his Divine Sense, he sternly commanded: “Kneel!”

Boom!

An immense pressure descended, like Mount Tai pressing down.

The Bull Demon King, burdened by immense gravity, stumbled and fell forward, half-kneeling before Qin Yang.

His massive bull skull was also pressed down.

“Now!”

Lightning burst from Qin Yang's eyes.

The Bull Demon King's immense strength was immeasurable.

Qin Yang could clearly sense that he couldn't suppress him for too long.

But the opportunity was already there.

The Fire-tipped Spear was still stuck in the Bull Demon King's skull.

Just a few more inches, and the swastika rune could be destroyed!

Boom!

The Hand of Imperial Authority condensed again on both sides, merging into a hammer, and like a mallett, it slammed down fiercely onto the Fire-tipped Spear!

Bang!

Amidst the thunderous crash, a “crunch” of breaking bones was heard.

Under this “hammer” blow, the Fire-tipped Spear, like a nail, broke through the skull and pierced into the center of the swastika rune.

The Bull Demon King was also smashed to the ground by this immense force.

Seeing that the defense had been successfully breached, Qin Yang immediately shouted to Nezha: “There's a rune inside the Bull Demon King's skull. Infuse Samadhi True Fire into the Fire-tipped Spear and try to destroy it!”

“Alright!”

Nezha, who had just been knocked away by the sound waves, had already returned.

Hearing Qin Yang's words, he immediately flew onto the Bull Demon King's skull, gripping the external part of the spear shaft with both hands.

“Explode for this young master!”

Nezha roared, fiercely pouring Divine Power into the Fire-tipped Spear, and flames instantly bloomed like a red lotus.

But just as Nezha was about to shatter the Bull Demon King's skull in one fell swoop, a slightly sharp voice simultaneously rang out in the ears of the three.

“Three of you, please show mercy. He is my brother.”
