Chapter 149 I Am Hitting You Specifically

Jumo wore a look of confusion initially, but upon seeing the silk gauze veiling Daoyuan's face, displeasure flashed across his features. With a flick of his sleeve, he stripped away her veil to reveal her true countenance.

Her celestial beauty and heroic demeanor—especially her rebellious and untamed expression, coupled with the look of utter disgust she cast at him—instantly ignited a strong desire for conquest within him.

With a burning gaze, as he clicked his tongue in praise, another concubine with a fox mask reminded him, "Star Lord, her father is the Immortal King of Dao Mountain!"

"The Immortal King of Dao Mountain? The fortune-teller so despised by heaven and earth? Still, this daughter of his is quite lovely. If she can become my concubine, I wouldn't mind calling him father-in-law!"

Jumo's mockery instead elicited a reluctant smile from Daoyuan. She stepped forward, curtsied to Jumo and his entourage, and said, "Even if the Star Lord is willing, it cannot be. Today, I am taking another as my Dao companion!"

Hearing her hint of reluctance, Jumo caught a whiff of what seemed like a conspiracy. Once he established himself in the Youke Cave Abode and saw Jia Youke rushing over in a fluster, the dark clouds in his mind instantly dissipated, and he burst into loud laughter!

"A Profound Immortal marrying a newly initiated Greater Immortal? Hilarious. Just how deep is your affection? Did you start talking back in the mortal realm and drag it all the way to the immortal world?"

After mocking them for a moment, his eyes lit up as if recalling something, and he said, "Jia Youke, you are Jia Youke?"

Jia Youke nodded, maintaining his composure as he replied, "Greetings, Sect Master Piaoyi!"

Jumo snorted disdainfully, "You still dare to call yourself a sect master? The Piaoyi Great Immortal Sect has already become history. Crawling out from whichever rock you were hiding under, why don't you take a look in the mirror? Come, take a look!"

He spat out a glob of phlegm, and instantly, Jia Youke's reflection appeared within it. As the image shifted and morphed inside, Jia Youke's own face began to change to match it.

Clutching his face, Jia Youke was terrified to the extreme, his features twisting as if possessed by an evil spirit.

The stunning woman behind him hurriedly cast a spell, but who was Jumo?

"Should we help out?" the Battle King asked Little Bug. The latter hurriedly shook his head, saying, "Didn't you see me chanting the Rebirth Sutra for him? By this time next year, he might have already successfully reincarnated!"

Finally, his gaze locked onto Long Yi's face. Long Yi glanced at the black horse hiding securely inside a formation and whispered, "I don't know how many lives that black horse has left, but even it won't be a match for the Star Lord."

Just as things seemed hopeless, Old Bear Three quietly gestured and cast a spell. Wuyun, who had been spinning in place, snapped his eyes open. Drunk and ignoring the resistance of Luohuawu, he stepped forward.

As he walked, his imperial might began to retract. Pondering who had just called him, he asked in confusion, "Why did Yue Qi call me?"

Thus, Wuyun strolled over to the place where Yue Qi practiced and began to lecture her with stern majesty.

Where had Yue Qi ever witnessed such a spectacle? She sat obediently, though she felt restless all over, until she caught sight of words formed by a beam of light. Her eyes lit up, and she cried out, "Brother Youke is getting married, I want to go!"

"No matter who calls you, you are not stepping out. Behave yourself... Youke is getting married?" Wuyun's mind raced furiously. After a long moment, realization dawned on him, and he said, "Ah, dual-cultivation partners! Come, I must take you to see this so you can gain some experience for the future!"

Yue Qi's clone took Yue Qi by the hand. By the time they arrived at the Youkong Cave Abode, Jumo was already holding Daoyuan's hand.

No matter how Daoyuan struggled, how could she possibly break free?

She cried out to the Valley Master several times, but received no response. Jumo, in high spirits, declared, "I have taken many wives and concubines, and I've even hijacked weddings before. But swapping the groom at a grand dual-cultivation ceremony—this is a first."

"The Star Lord is mighty!" his two concubines flattered in unison.

Yet, an untimely voice chimed in: "Is that so? Wouldn't it be even more thrilling to put on a live performance of romance right here?"

Jumo glanced sideways, sending a beam of light straight into Wuyun's body, where it vanished without a trace.

"A consummate Greater Immortal and an early-to-mid-stage Greater Immortal clone, trying to merge into one to achieve the status of a Profound Immortal!" Jumo wasn't surprised by how the other party neutralized his spell. With a wave of his hand, he snatched the speaking clone of Yue Qi and pulled it right beneath his feet.

However, finding the little fellow somewhat pungent, Wuyun stomped down hard on him. Jumo's expression twisted in rich varieties of pain before he flicked his leg and kicked Wuyun flying.

Simultaneously, he sliced open a spatial rift, and upon entering it, Wuyun vanished from sight.

"Anyone who enters never comes out. Little Immortal, considering it's my day of great joy, you'd better go cultivate a new body!"

Yue Qi clapped in applause, looking to outsiders as though she had been frightened out of her wits.

In this brief window, Yue Qi was reduced to a mere spectator. Jumo looked immensely pleased with himself, while his snake-faced concubine, clinging like a stubborn swamp eel, wrapped herself around Yue Qi's neck.

She had taken a fancy to Yue Qi and flicked her forked tongue. Before the latter could cast a spell to escape, she was trapped on the spot.

"Snake Ji, how can you feed on someone on an occasion like this?"

Jumo smiled and advised against it. Nearby, the fox-masked concubine panted coquettishly, "The Star Lord is gaining yet another concubine, surely you can let us sisters have a taste of fresh meat first. Don't worry, once chewed to pieces, his divine soul can be regenerated. I want to eat the tender meat that's freshly grown!"

Daoyuan failed to wrench her hand free, and the Valley Master had yet to appear. Seeing that Yue Qi was about to lose her physical body, Daoyuan knitted her brows. Before she could even speak, Jumo let go of his own accord.

Possessing an exceptionally keen nose, Jumo remarked, "There's actually a dragon clan member hiding within the formation here. Guards, seal this ravine! No one is to leave!"

As his voice fell, ten Profound Immortals descended from the sky, casting an inescapable net that locked down the entire area.

"Looks like the Star Lord is going to have some real fun." Snake Ji murmured knowingly, offering a smug smile to the fox-masked concubine. "Sister, then let this younger sister break her fast first. It's been so long since I've tasted the flesh of such a tender Greater Immortal."

Snake Ji opened her jaw wide. As Yue Qi screamed at the top of her lungs for "Lord Long Yi," Long Yi could hold back no longer and finally stepped out.

The moment he showed himself, the Huan Tuo (black horse) also quietly emerged and followed right behind him. Given the current situation, without Wuyun, they had no choice but to fight head-on. As for the strange phenomenon manifesting around Luohuawu, it felt as though her true body had already departed this realm, lingering only as a vague, ethereal shadow.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Jumo laughed heartily and swept his hand through the air, stirring up a vortex.

The moment it formed, Long Yi found himself inexplicably sucked inside.

Just as Jumo prepared to sink his teeth in, he noticed a sliced spatial rift through which the dragon made its escape, vanishing without a trace.

"No one has ever managed to leave under the surveillance of a Star Lord! Suppress! Open! Break!" the Left General shouted three commands in succession, causing the entire space to freeze over as if turning to ice.

A moment later, his weathered face turned pale purple—the target hadn't burst out of the spatial void at all.

Could it be that he had truly shattered space and fled?

Enraged, Jumo slashed open space himself, searching meticulously.

Just as he was about to thrust his hand in to disrupt the surrounding dimensions, a mysterious beast appeared out of nowhere, clamped its jaws onto his nose, and yanked fiercely, tearing away strips of flesh.

Such treatment infuriated Jumo. Having neglected physical cultivation in favor of an immensely powerful soul sea, he was barely able to merge rapidly with the star core and perceive the spatial laws of heaven and earth. Finding his physical body lacerated sent him into a towering rage. He lunged forward to grab the invisible profound beast, but failing to catch it, he spat a sharp object out from his mouth.

A second-grade immortal artifact materialized. Though rated as a lower-tier second-grade weapon, its might was immense, causing the entire space to shudder.

As he unleashed his divine ability, a wisp of the Law of Principles poured forth—specifically, the most fundamental Gale Principle. Wherever the wind swept, a bone-chilling frost seemed to permeate the spatial fissures. Though heavily diluted by layers of defense, it still made Long Yi shiver involuntarily right before he was impaled by the second-grade trident immortal artifact.

Crack!

The powerful protective formation formed by the dragon horns glowing atop Long Yi's head was forcibly shattered by the sheer stellar power. Jumo stuck out his tongue, licked the dragon blood staining the weapon, and sighed with emotion, "Such a pure dragon clan bloodline. Ever since I tasted the black dragon heart and liver soup made by that wicked woman, I haven't had a proper delicacy. And you, you'll fit this vacancy just right!"

Seeing that the next bite was about to sever Long Yi's head, the black horse could no longer restrain itself. Sidestepping to reveal its true form, it lashed out with a hoof, kicking Jumo squarely in the face.

It wasn't that the horse lacked other immortal arts to counter the enemy; rather, its hooves were infused with powdered imperial bone, packing terrifying might. After kicking him away, the horse dragged Long Yi back and snapped resentfully at Daoyuan, "Yue Qi's maid is still sleepwalking! You're the one who stirred up this hornet's nest—who's going to clean up this mess?!"

"Hmph, wasn't my marriage to Jia Youke destined by heaven? I just had to change it!" Daoyuan retorted stubbornly. As she spoke, she retreated toward the location of the Valley Master. When she finally caught sight of Luohuawu's current state, she froze.

Clearly right in front of her, yet she was nothing more than an illusory projection. Though merely a phantom, she felt utterly real before one's eyes. When Daoyuan probed her with her divine sense, she was violently repelled by a powerful reactive force—a jolt that left her completely dumbfounded.

If the Valley Master didn't step in to resolve this in the end, who could possibly stand against Jumo and Huan Tuo? Even with imperial might, though he might win a few exchanges, he was definitely no match for a Star Lord.

Amidst her contemplation, Huan Tuo let out a furious roar as Jumo closed in on him. The two of them engaged in a chaotic melee, trading blows.

Every time Jumo thrust his immortal artifact toward Huan Tuo, the black horse would simply pivot and kick it away with its hooves. Over time, Jumo figured out the pattern. The moment a hoof came flying in, right at the instant of impact, he injected a strand of spatial law.

In a flash, one of the black horse's legs was crippled, severely eroded by the freezing frost malevolence.

Huan Tuo switched to another leg, thinking to himself that this ordinary leg would at least trip up the enemy, only for it to be cleanly severed by the second-grade trident.

Having lost two legs consecutively, Huan Tuo was racked with excruciating pain. Yet, he dared not unleash his remaining imperial might casually, terrified of flattening the entire mountain ravine. After rolling backward to evade the attacks and blinking dozens of times to shatter successive spatial gateways and escape the enemy's oppressive aura, he suddenly felt a tight tug at his tail—he had actually been grabbed by it!

This tug finally made Huan Tuo realize the absolute importance of possessing imperial might. Enduring the blinding agony, he spun around and roared, "You piece of swine meat, how dare you! Do you even know who your grandfather is?!"

Jumo showed no mercy. Yanking the horse's tail, he tore it out in three brutal pulls, sending demonic blood spraying in a crimson torrent.

Huan Tuo was reduced to a weeping, shivering mess of tears, sweat, and feces, vomiting all over Jumo's hand. With a wave of his palm, Jumo sent the filth flying right back at him, shattering the three million defensive arrays carved into the horse's body.

This single strike, laden with the sheer force of the stars, utterly demolished the defenses Huan Tuo had painstakingly built.

"My life is too hard!" Huan Tuo wailed. Even in this life-or-death crisis, he still couldn't bear to use his imperial might or imperial bone.

Old Bear Three's mouth went dry. He turned to Little Bug, who was likewise licking his lips in silent contemplation, and asked, "Are the two of us still going to charge in?"

Little Bug tilted his head to look at Green Leaf. The latter sneered disdainfully, "Even if this black horse unleashed everything and used its imperial bone, it still couldn't suppress the power of the star core. If they took the fight into outer space, the outcome might still be up for grabs. But here? This is the enemy's home turf. You two are guaranteed to die a miserable death. Still, if neither of you steps up, it doesn't look very good, does it?"

Prompted by Green Leaf's words, just as Little Bug was about to urge him forward, Old Bear Three frantically signaled him with his eyes and whispered under his breath, "What? Sending Daoyuan off wasn't enough, you want to send your own mount to the slaughter too?"

Hesitant and tangled in indecision, as Huan Tuo shrieked and rolled over next to Yue Qi, he seized the opportunity to blast Snake Ji away with the might of his imperial bone, rescuing the girl before crying out at the top of his lungs, "Stop! Stop! Do you even know who I am?!"
