Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 162 - Brief Battle (Pt 1)

Huise Chongtu’s cauldrons burst into existence while he held his smile. He took a step forward, and the ground shook fiercely in response.

“Since you admitted to the crime, you can kill yourself now!”

****

“Excuse me?” To be fair, I did see this coming, but I can’t say it’s any less annoying.

“You offended our prime disciple’s concubine. Of course, you need to die as compensation!” he said to me matter-of-factly.

“So to you,” I stared down this racist old demon. “The reciprocal consequence of an offence is death?”

He looked at me as if I was an idiot. Who knows? Maybe I was.

“Your life is worth even less than a mongrel, so this is to be expected,” disdain dripped from every word. “Add on all this your declaration of raining down unholy devastation upon us, this is to be expected and warranted.”

“Interesting, so then that means I just need to—” I stopped when something gave me pause.

This old demon was quite the fox.

“What do you think you’re doing?” I asked him.

His expression turned to one surprise before calm quickly resurfaced. “Interesting, so you’ve been keeping tabs on them,” he said, realising my reaction just then.

“Unfortunately, you won’t have any chance to do much of anything, I’m afraid!”

Boom!

After saying this, he lunged after me with a claw strike aiming for my neck.

The somatic essence rumbled in his body like a roaring river, and the pressure it wrought could clearly be felt.

I saw three shining star cores in his cauldrons, this old demon was actually a Three Star Core Martial Master. Well coloured me surprised.

D-Dum!

Krrssh!

I summoned my cauldrons and after banishing somatic essence; I felt the spiritual essence filling my body and boy oh boy did it feel good.

Krrsh!

All nine spun furiously while two in particular crackled with lightning.

I saw shock appear on all my enemies’ faces at both my cultivation base and the state of my cauldrons and I took advantage of that.

To that end, I drew the bronze sabre and spiritual essence ran through the meridians needed to execute a particular technique.

The line of the sabre’s blade lit up with crackling spiritual energy that trembled as I held it. I saw Huise Chongtu’s eyes widen in shock when he felt the aura I radiated.

Vrrrm!

‘Earth Severance!’

I swung down and spiritual energy exploded out from the sabre before smashing into Huise Chongtu’s body!

Bam!

Even though this was a technique that was to be used with somatic essence, I simply replaced that energy with spiritual energy. Unfortunately, the same thing didn’t happen, go figure.

He flew back while coughing up a mouthful of blood before he landed with a crash!

“Elder Huise Chongtu!?”

The disciple that held Feng Yu cried out in shock.

As of now, his elder was plastered on the ground like a fly that met the purpose of a fly swatter. He probably wondered why a Two Star Martial Master was able to body a Three Star Core Martial Master.

Suck it you commoner, I can fight above realms because I’m the MC.

I didn’t waste time, though; I raised the sabre and rushed towards Huise Chongtu to finish him off.

Shu!

Huise Chongtu’s body trembled, and he looked up just in time to see me and the point of my sabre that sought to run him through.

Boom!

He furiously pummelled the ground, causing rocks and debris to erupt slowing down my attack.

Not gonna lie, that was smart.

He used the slight moment of reprieve to back off in a bid to create a safe distance between himself and me.

But I flew through the dust at a shocking speed towards the elder to deny him this safety!

“Crap!” the latter was flustered since he had yet to properly regain his footing.

My sabre was crackling with lightning and sabre intent.

Right now, there was a glaring gash that covered his arms from when he tried to block my blow from before.

A fat load of good that did him.

Bam!

I was relentless in my pursuit of this old demon as what I saw bade his quick dismissal. New wounds covered his body and I could see his face darken as he felt suffocated at being unable to unleash his strength.

Vrrrm!

That was thanks to my cauldrons that I was using to unleash the cauldronic pressure they possessed.

As of now, his somatic essence should be circulating through his meridians at the same rate as wet cement.

He was desperately trying to keep me off him, but I became the clingy girlfriend he never had, and the damage was about the same!

The fight went on for a while and by now, blood soaked the area the fight was confined to, when something caught my eye.

‘What are those?’ I saw that the runes on the demon’s body were beginning to glow red, and as their glow increased, so did the demon’s strength!

“You’re too late!” Huise Chongtu realised my suspicion at what I saw and acted before I could react.

Bam!

He fired a punch in my direction that was leagues stronger than before! The air exploded at his movements as the fist grew bigger and bigger.

“Crap!”

He quickly angled the sabre for the broadside to take the blow!

Bang!

“Take her and go now!” Huise Chongtu ordered his disciple to take Feng Yu away!

However, he was shocked by what he saw. One of his disciples was thrashing about in every direction without reason, and before him was a… little girl?

Out of nowhere, there was a young female… person with a visage that was obscured by some sort of watery mist attacking his disciple!

It was like he couldn’t see her, so he was attacking in every direction!

It was Shen Ling!

She appeared to save her senior apprentice-sister and took on the disciple here to achieve that.

Her expression was icy and her killing intent flared as she brandished her sword to cut him down.
