"I, Old Sun, was defeated just like that?"
A helpless voice sounded in the Stone Monkey Palace. On the ground of the Stone Monkey Palace, a large pile of scattered corpses were placed neatly on the ground.
These weren't ordinary corpses, but corpses that had been neatly dissected and placed in an orderly manner. Seeing these corpses, one couldn't help but feel hungry.
Right in front of this pile of corpses was a serene bull's head. If it wasn't for the fact that this head was separated from the body, people who saw it might have thought that this bull's head was just sleeping.
On the side of the bull's head was a piece of leather that looked like new clothes. It could be seen that this leather had been peeled off very beautifully. The entire leather, other than a small opening at the neck, didn't have any other parts that were damaged. It was as if a piece of clothing had been directly taken off from the bull's body.
At first glance, people would think that this was a real bull.
Oh right, it was worth mentioning that this was a very rare piece of white bull skin. It could be sold for a much higher price than ordinary bull skin.
Behind the bull skin was the bull's tendon. This kind of elastic material was a rare item. It was pulled out completely without breaking, and finally tied together like a rubber band.
To the left of the bull's tendon were the bull's five viscera, or in other words, the bull's intestines. This included the bull's heart, bull's liver, bull's lungs, bull's tripe, bull's intestines, bull's loin, and bull's intestines.
What was most surprising was that there was not a single trace of blood on the surface of the cow's offal. This was something that was almost impossible to achieve.
Behind the bull's intestines, there was a plastic basin filled with bull's blood. The bull's blood was still emitting a fresh and flowing aura, as if it was still delivering all the necessary nutrients to the bull's body.
The most eye-catching thing was the white bull's bones. The entire bull's bones didn't have any traces of being cut off, as if they were forcibly pulled out from the bull's body.
After this butcher took out the bull's bones, he actually pieced them together again, forming a complete bull's skeleton. It was just like those dinosaur skeletons in museums. One could vaguely see the appearance of a bull without a head.
In the end, the most valuable thing was probably the piles of beef that had been categorized into more than a dozen types according to the different growing positions.
There was beef neck, which was suitable for making beef meatballs, beef shoulder, which was suitable for curry, head, which was suitable for hotpot, breast, which was suitable for stew, beef, which was suitable for barbecue, and then there was beef loin, which was suitable for making steak. Anyway, there was a nice name called sirloin or sirloin steak. Like him, there was filet mignon, which was chosen for the tenderloin. Finally, there was the buttocks, which was very chewy, and then there was the sirloin, which was even more chewy. Finally, there was the tendon, which was the chewy one.
Apart from that, there were also some strange beef that even Guhan didn't know which part of the cow it came from. Anyway, the beef was arranged in an orderly manner. It was even more perfect and appetizing than the beef produced in a standardized and professional slaughterhouse.
I believe that everyone had already guessed that this poor white bull that had been professionally butchered and dismembered was our Bull Demon King.
After a battle that made even Guhan feel dazzled, the Bull Demon King turned into a huge pile of beef on the ground. On the other side of the battle, our Miss Liu Qingmei didn't suffer any injuries at all. She looked indifferent, as if killing a Bull Demon King wasn't a difficult task.
"Tsk!
You monster, what kind of sorcery did you use?
You actually dismembered my big brother in just a few moves? "The Great Sage Equalling Heaven's rationality seemed to be in a mess. He actually called Liu Qingmei a monster.
Logically speaking, you, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, are the real monster!
"In reply to Great Sage's words!
My Sword Maiden isn't a monster, nor does she know any sorcery. This is just pure swordsmanship! "
Liu Qingmei replied weakly as she looked at the skinny little girl beside her. She looked as if she would be blown away by the wind.
"Tsk!
Don't you dare lie to me, Old Sun. According to Fleeting Time, this Sword Maiden is just a Famed Sword Maiden. The Bull Demon King that I transformed into may not be as powerful as the real Bull Demon King, but it's still a Daemon King. How could it be defeated by a mere Sword Maiden like you? "The Great Sage Equalling Heaven was obviously unwilling to accept such a defeat.
Oh, by the way.
The Daemon King that the Great Sage Equalling Heaven referred to was the Nether Tier and the Meteor Tier Yuan Kou.
The current Yuan Kou was still used to addressing the different tiers of Yuan Kou according to his own tradition. He had yet to use the same form of address that the humans had given him.
"There's nothing strange about it. No matter what kind of bull he is, he's just a simple bull in my hands!"
The frail Sword Lady replied in a low and weak voice. She was Pao Ding, the nemesis of all bulls in the world.
"Pao Ding?
I think I've heard of this name before.
Let me think about when I heard it … "The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal fell into a long silence. The entire Stone Monkey Palace also fell into a rare silence. After about ten minutes, the monkey said with a sudden realization," I, Old Sun, remember now. Back then, when I returned from the Buddhist scriptures, I had some dealings with the big green bull that Old Lord Taishang sat on. "
"The Great Green Bull loved to drink, and he would get drunk after drinking. He would tell me stories when he was drunk.
He told me that he met a butcher called Pao Ding when he accompanied Old Lord Taishang to the mortal world.
Pao Ding went around bragging that he had slaughtered more than 100,000 bulls, and that angered the Great Green Bull.
I remember that all the bulls in the world are the Great Green Bull's descendants. Even the Bull Demon King would greet the Great Green Bull as his great-grandfather.
Pao Ding killed 100,000 of the Great Green Bull's sons and grandsons! "
"Then, the big green ox transformed into its true form, intending to trample Pao Ding to death. Unexpectedly, Pao Ding casually raised his Ox-Slaughtering Sword and easily subdued the big green ox. He even cut off the ox's tail at the same time.
If Old Lord Taishang hadn't returned quickly and redeemed the Great Green Bull with 10 taels of gold, I wouldn't have had to suffer 81 tribulations on my journey to the west. I'd only … only … erm, what's 81 minus 1? "
The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal muttered to himself in distress. How much did nine times nine minus one mean?
"Is there such a thing?"
Liu Qingmei turned to look at Pao Ding and the Sword Lady beside her. Pao Ding nodded and replied, "That day, I saw a bull as tall as a mountain charging towards me. I was overjoyed and thought that this bull might be enough for me to use for ten years.
Unfortunately, the moment I chopped off the bull's tail, the Zhou Royal Family's librarian bought it back.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful. Later on, the bull's price increased by quite a bit. That bull could be sold for at least 12 taels of gold, but I only sold it for 10 taels of gold. It was a huge loss. "
"That's indeed quite a loss!"
Liu Qingmei nodded repeatedly when she heard Pao Ding's words. She began to feel heartache for the 2 taels of gold that she had lost thousands of years ago. It was as if the 2 taels of gold had slipped out of her hands.
These two conversations entered Guhan's ears. Guhan's expression immediately changed. Although Old Lord Taishang, the Yuan Kou, only existed in legends, based on how the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor himself treated Old Lord Taishang with extreme respect, Old Lord Taishang was definitely the most powerful Desolate Rank Yuan Kou.
Guhan even suspected that Old Lord Taishang might have surpassed the Desolate Rank and reached the level of a Creation Godhead. Otherwise, the Jade Emperor wouldn't have organized sacrifices to Old Lord Taishang and the other six Saints every year.
As for Old Lord Taishang's Great Green Bull, it would be much more realistic than the ethereal Old Lord Taishang.
This was because the Great Green Bull had been staying in the Heavenly Court's Tushita Palace until now.
According to Zhe Tian Jiandi's memories, she had hidden in the Tushita Palace for a while when she was wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Court.
Zhe Tian Jiandi had originally planned to kill the Great Green Bull to avoid exposing his hiding place.
However, after exchanging a dozen blows with the Great Green Bull, he was shocked to find that the Great Green Bull was actually a Flood Rank Yuan Kou. It was impossible for him to kill the Great Green Bull in a short period of time.
Thus, Zhe Tian Jiandi and the Great Green Bull reached a compromise. The Great Green Bull wouldn't expose Zhe Tian Jiandi's location, and Zhe Tian Jiandi wouldn't hurt the Great Green Bull.
Zhe Tian Jiandi hid in the Tushita Palace for a full three days. After recovering from his injuries, he left the Tushita Palace.
With Zhe Tian Jiandi's own words as proof, this Great Green Bull was undoubtedly a Flood Rank Yuan Kou. Thus, it was only natural for him to call himself the ancestor of all bulls in the world.
Such a terrifying old bull was almost slaughtered by the Great Green Bull. From this, it could be seen that the Great Green Bull was indeed the nemesis of all bulls in the world.
To some extent, Liu Qingmei, a Famed Sword Rank sword wielder, already had the ability to kill an Emperor. However, this ability was limited to the Bull Type Yuan Kou.
Unfortunately, in reality, after Liu Qingmei died, the Great Green Bull and the Great Green Bull were broken on the battlefield. Since then, there was no news of them.
Even the Great Green Bull, a Flood Rank Yuan Kou, could be killed by the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal's incarnation of the Bull Demon King.
"Great Sage!
Did I pass the test? "
Liu Qingmei asked the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal respectfully. She was a little nervous as she waited for the Great Sage's judgment.
Although Liu Qingmei had indeed killed the Bull Demon King, there was still some suspicion that she had resorted to trickery. If the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal had not chosen to transform into the Bull Demon King, but into the Roc Demon King, Dragon Demon King, or any of the other brothers of the Seven Great Sages, then the Great Green Bull Demon King would not have been suppressed by the Great Sage, and Liu Qingmei would have lost without a doubt.
Therefore, if the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal used this as a reason to compete again, then Liu Qingmei would have nothing to say. She could only accept her fate.
"Tsk!
Do you think that I, Old Sun, am as untrustworthy as that fat pig? "
The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal spat. "I, Old Sun, am a man of my word. Little girl, you have passed my Stone Monkey Palace. Hurry up, there are more tests waiting for you!"
