I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 125 - 37: Witch King of the Central Province (2/5)

The "Witch Pattern" from the mouth of the Spider Queen is essentially a variant of the Talismanic Proverbs.

Because in this world, not all witches can possess the Celestial Destiny Divine Power to perceive the essence of heaven and earth like the Huai River Witch.

To fully unleash the proverbs they have mastered, these witches typically take one of two paths.

One is to borrow power from the gods, becoming a priest of the gods, entrusting everything to the deities of higher wisdom.

The other is to delve into the nature of proverbs, hoping to understand the truths of the universe and truly master power comparable to the gods.

The former is time-saving and effortless, as long as the gods are willing, priests can be mass-produced. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The latter, however, values personal talent and wisdom more.

Even among ten thousand mountain people, a true witch might not emerge.

In such cases, naturally, some witches seek shortcuts, thereby creating all sorts of monsters contrary to human nature and common sense.

"Get out of the way!"

The crimson monster... or rather, Xiao Yue, hovered in mid-air, shouting down at the Red Fish with a majestic demeanor.

"On account of the 'Son of the Mountain God', I'm tolerating your impertinence this time."

"But if you insist on standing in my way, don't blame me for being ruthless from now on!"

Although Xiao Yue didn't actually know the Red Fish, he was familiar with the Human-faced Fish.

During the time trapped at Feilai Peak,

Xiao Yue often saw these peculiar fish appear in the waterfall pools.

"Ha!"

In response to Xiao Yue's threat, the Red Fish showed their attitude through their actions.

When that piercing sonic wave reappeared, Xiao Yue's eardrums were instantly impacted.

Yet bizarrely, despite blood flowing from all seven orifices,

Xiao Yue's expression and demeanor remained unchanged, staring straight at the Red Fish like a puppet.

"Stubborn and ignorant fool god!"

Suddenly, the wings on his back spread open, and the Taotie Pattern on Xiao Yue's body began to accelerate.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yue's body suddenly swelled and transformed into a hideous giant mouth with only facial features.

"Sss!"

Just as the Red Fish was about to be swallowed by Xiao Yue, a massive web suddenly shot towards the Red Fish.

"Ah?"

Completely unprepared for the "sneak attack" from behind, the Red Fish let out a startled cry.

The next second, the Spider Queen in the water and a group of Human-faced Fish worked together, forcibly dragging the Red Fish back into the water.

"Crunch!"

The hideous mouth bit into thin air, leaving a deep pit several meters deep on the ground.

The nearby vegetation and soil were swallowed by the gruesome mouth, only then did Xiao Yue reappear in the pit.

"..."

Reverting to his original form,

Xiao Yue merely glanced indifferently at the Red Fish and Spider Queen in the water, without showing any intent to eradicate them completely.

Because Xiao Yue wasn't here for the Red Fish and Spider Queen.

Rustle...

Accompanied by the inhuman footsteps, Xiao Yue ghostly appeared before the villagers of Mountain Village.

No, to be precise, he appeared before the only pregnant woman still awake in the village.

"Sorry, I'm here to kill you."

A cold glint of apology flickered in his eyes, yet Xiao Yue's tone remained indifferent.

"Why..."

Looking up at the crimson monster before her, the pregnant woman widened her eyes in bewilderment.

Perhaps out of excessive fright, she hardly showed any fear, only deep confusion and incomprehension.

"Because you're carrying a monster."

"Only by killing you can the birth of that monster be stopped."

"For the sake of your village, for the stability of this region, you must die."

Saying that, Xiao Yue offered no further explanation, but slowly raised his hand.

To spare the pregnant woman as much pain as possible, Xiao Yue used no excessive means.

This might be the only mercy he could offer.

Whoosh!

Just as Xiao Yue's hand blade was about to fall, a soft humming sound suddenly cut through the air.

Before Xiao Yue could react, his descending hand was severed by a golden light.

"What..."

This time, it was Xiao Yue who was surprised, his eyes widening.

Since the event unfolded too abruptly,

it wasn't until the hand hit the ground that Xiao Yue felt a piercing pain.

Yet strangely, despite the intense pain, Xiao Yue's expression remained unchanged.

"Why stop me?"

Though his head didn't move, his eyes weirdly darted aside.

Xiao Yue saw the true form of the golden light—a golden Sword Pill only palm-sized.

"I helped you forge this 'Golden Body', not for you to commit murder on my turf."

The golden Sword Pill lazily spun twice, then soared back into the sky.

"Should I continue to call you Xiao Yue now?"

"Or formally address you as 'Witch King'?"

Retrieving the golden Sword Pill back into his body, Li Boyang descended slowly from the sky atop a white cloud.

"Just call me Xiao Yue then!"

"After all, I'm only temporarily in control of this body, its true owner is not me."

Not denying Li Boyang's title, the Witch King merely gazed calmly at Li Boyang blocking his path, his tone eerily serene.

"Haha, what an unexpected situation indeed!"

With a chuckle, Li Boyang tossed the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor, keeping his expression unchanged while returning the Witch King's gaze.

"No wonder there were so many unexpected events when I was forging this guy's body..."

"Turns out his body held more than his own soul and consciousness."

"Reflecting on it all now, it's clearly because of you!"

Though phrased as a question, Li Boyang spoke the words with clear certainty.

With the facts laid before him, Li Boyang reviewed the incidents during the forging process, fully understanding the situation.

"I never expected, in the barren Hundred Lands Mountain Range, there'd be an outstanding 'Witch Child' like you."

"Though unclear how you accomplished it, you indeed enabled Xiao Yue to autonomously activate the Taotie Pattern I left on him without using the Great Halberd..."

Pausing slightly at this point, the Witch King's tone shifted.

"No, it's not just about activating the Taotie Pattern..."

"You even used that miraculous Tripod Furnace to mend the flaws in my witchcraft, bestowing Xiao Yue with a truly Vajra Indestructible Body."

"From the moment he emerged from the Tripod Furnace, my consciousness became part of Xiao Yue..."

"He can tap into my power anytime, without any offerings or costs."
