Earth God

Inside the thatched hut, the cat demon, its scheme exposed by Fang Yu, chuckled wickedly. "Hehehe," its hunched back suddenly straightened, its withered flesh swelled up like an inflating balloon, and its gray fur gleamed with a metallic sheen. "I was planning to let you live another half an hour until the medicine took effect," it licked the porridge stains from its sharp teeth, "Now I'll have to eat you raw!" "Boom!" The cat demon sprang up, overturning the entire wooden table, its claws tearing through the air, aiming straight for Fang Yu's throat! But the moment it touched his skin, it was repelled by golden arcs of electricity! "Zzzzz—" The black and red lightning surrounding Fang Yu erupted completely! He grabbed the cat demon by the neck with one hand and slammed it violently into the ground! "Crack!" The cat demon's spine snapped into three pieces, yet it still grinned maliciously, "Useless! You drank my porridge! That was medicine made from rotting corpse toads!" Fang Yu tilted his head to look at it, "Which eye of yours saw me drink your porridge?" The cat demon sneered, "Do you carry porridge with you? If it wasn't porridge I made, what else could it be?" Fang Yu sneered, grabbing the cat demon's jaw with one hand, and using his porridge power with the other, he forcefully poured the porridge into the cat demon's mouth! "Ugh! Glug—Ugh! Cough cough cough!" The cat demon's vertical pupils widened, and its limbs struggled frantically, but with its spine broken, it couldn't exert any strength and could only let the scalding porridge water flow into its throat! The porridge liquid sprayed from its nostrils, choking it and causing its eyes to bulge, and a "hoarse" suffocating sound came from its throat. "Is it good?" Fang Yu grinned maliciously, forcing the porridge down the cat demon's throat. "Didn't you love bubbly eyeballs? This porridge is much thicker than eyeballs!" The cat demon collapsed to the ground, its belly swollen like a ball, rice grains hanging from its mouth, desperately retching. "Ugh... I never eat vegetarian food... It's disgusting!" Before it could finish speaking, Fang Yu unleashed a Whip Kick! "Bang—Boom!!!" The cat demon's body smashed through the Earth Wall of the thatched hut like a cannonball, carrying with it a cloud of grass clippings and broken wooden beams, crashing through three dead trees before finally embedding itself deep into the mountainside! Amidst the shattered rocks, only half of its cat head remained visible, its fangs shattered, its tongue lolling out, its eyes rolling back as it passed out. Fang Yu stretched his ankles, glancing at the dust-filled mountainside in the distance. "Next time you make porridge, remember to use less toad. The smell is so strong, do you think I'm an idiot?" Smelling the stench in the air, Fang Yu deployed his Mantra! Under the detection of his Mantra, he quickly noticed several unusual auras on the mountain. He knew they must also be demons. "Let's set the Yamakaji! Drive all these demons out of the forest!" "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Fang Yu's mouth surged forth, the ground suddenly trembled violently! "Boom—!" A crack opened beneath his feet, and amidst the flying debris, a hunched-over old man with a white beard, leaning on Dragon-Coiled Cane, emerged from the ground. He slammed his cane heavily into the ground, directly shattering the flames of the Great Fireball into a sky full of sparks! "Young friend, wait! I am the guardian deity of Lion Camel Mountain. If you set this fire, how will you cultivate your Dao? This will only create more karmic obstacles!" Fang Yu sneered, "I will let the flames purify everything! Burn these man-eating demons to death!" The guardian deity sighed upon hearing this, "I understand, but it is my duty, I cannot obey." Fang Yu sneered, "Duty? Your duty is to watch these demons eat people?" The Earth God hurriedly waved his hand, slamming his cane heavily on the ground, "Young man, you do not know..." He looked around and lowered his voice, "Which mountain god or deity within this hundred-mile radius wasn't forced to sign Blood Pact by those three demon kings? If I let you burn the mountain today, my soul will be refined into lamp oil tomorrow!" "Heh, so you're a cowardly deity." Fang Yu's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, "Then I'll burn you too!" "Wait!" The guardian deity hurriedly waved his hand, "Although I cannot let you burn the mountain, I can show you a way." "What do you mean?" As the local earth god walked, he spoke, "Do you know the immense Mana of the three great demons of Lion Camel Ridge?" "So what?" The Earth God stroked his white beard, slammed his cane on the ground, and said solemnly, "Young friend, don't underestimate these three demon kings! The Green-Maned Lion Monster is the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva who descended to earth. With a single breath, it drained a tributary of the Milky Way, scaring the Twenty-Eight Constellations into reinforcing the Heavenly River gate overnight." "The White Elephant King is no pushover either!" the earth god lowered his voice, "It was originally a spirit beast under the seat of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Its trunk is like a pillar supporting the sky, and with a single breath, it can sweep up mountains and rivers for thousands of miles! Last year, an Arhat who disliked it came to subdue the demon, but it used its trunk to wrap around his golden body and crushed his Sarira." At this point, the earth god suddenly shuddered, "The most terrifying one is the Golden-Winged Great Peng King! Its wingspan covers the sky and the sun, and a single flap can cover ninety thousand miles! Even if the Buddha himself were to come..." Fang Yu interrupted, "So you, the earth god, are content to be a mere Watchdogs?" The Earth God was both angry and helpless. "Then give this old man some advice? What can an ordinary Earth God do?" As he spoke, his expression suddenly turned dejected, "I can only secretly tell some traveling merchant caravans that want to enter Lion Camel Country from this place to take a detour. Besides that, if I do anything more, my abilities are nothing more than an appetizer for the demon generals under the three demon kings." Hearing this, Fang Yu nodded, "I understand." The Earth God stroked his white beard and pointed his cane southeast. "Go around the three Withered Pine Ravine from here, there is a crevice carved out by a mountain torrent that leads directly to Lion Cliff Peak. Once you get there, you won't be far from escaping Lion Camel Kingdom." He suddenly lowered his voice, "The general guarding that place is a Limping Old Wolf. He sneaks away to drink every day at dusk, creating a two-quarter-hour gap. Calculate the time and escape through there." Fang Yu's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Do all those mountain folk love to be guiding lights? The cat demon tricked me into drinking poisoned porridge and hiding in a cave, and now you're here to offer warmth? Are you planning to have a thousand-pound gate fall on my head the moment I crawl into a crack in the ground?" "Bah!" The Earth God's Whitebeard trembled with anger. "Although I was forced to sign a Blood Pact, I was still properly granted an immortal title! Those despicable methods—" He suddenly fell silent, looking in terror towards the Lion Camel Country! Several afterimages flashed through the dark clouds! The pursuers were coming! Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, following Fang Yu's gaze. "Scared?" Provoked, the Earth God suddenly stiffened his neck and growled, "So what if I threaten you? I've guarded this land for years, and I've seen too many living people turn into scraps in a swill bucket!" A trace of pain flashed in his cloudy eyes. "What kind of god am I..." Before he finished speaking, a long hoot like Owlman suddenly came from the distant mountain ridge. The Earth God's expression changed drastically. "Run! The Bat-Winged Guards patrolling the mountain have smelled living people!" Fang Yu clenched his fists, his anger unquenchable. "Trying to force me to my death?! I'll take them down with me!" The Earth God didn't know what to say, and said in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, "I'll hold them off! You escape the way I tell you!" But as soon as the Earth God finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the boy beside him had leaped several meters into the air! In the end, his figure reached fifty-three meters!
