Chapter 35: Kuafu Chases the Sun

  Ten golden crows chased after Da Han in the direction he was fleeing.

  This chase, however, lasted for several days, but they were unable to catch up with the big man, and not even saw his shadow. The ten golden crows were furious and did not give up, continuing to chase after him.

  Not long after, the ten Golden Crows flew out of the ocean and into the Hongyuan Continent. The eldest brother said with some worry, "Now that we've flown into the Hongyuan Continent, we still haven't found that big fellow. Let's go back, or else Father will find out and we'll be in for a severe punishment."

  There were several golden crows that also echoed in agreement, apparently these golden crows were all afraid of Emperor Jun.

  Lao Shi heard this and said, "Big brother, we've been living in Yingzhou for thousands of years. Now that we finally have the chance to come out, how can we just go back like this? That Wu tribe's big man is so arrogant towards us, can't we get our dignity back? If outsiders find out, how can we still stand in the Hongyuan in the future? I heard that the Wu tribe is all over the Hongyuan. Why don't we find a Wu tribe village near the sea and kill them off, then fly back to Yingzhou? It won't take much time."

  The faces of the numerous Golden Crows changed color as they thought about the severe relationship between them, and Old Seventh said, "Tenth Brother is right, we can't just go back like this. No matter what, we must quell the prestige of the Witch Clan. Even if Father finds out later, we can say that the people of the Witch Clan provoked us first. I believe Father won't blame us too much."

  Several hesitant golden crows felt reasonable after listening and agreed to Lao Shi's suggestion, and then the ten golden crows went together to find the witch tribe.

  Originally with the cultivation of ten golden crows, he could barely control his own solar true fire. However, after such a long flight, he had already consumed a lot of his body's magical powers and was now unable to control his own solar true fire. As a result, all ten golden crows were covered in flames, with the scorching solar true fire crackling through the void.

  Ten Golden Crows, due to being in a hurry and not paying much attention to their own True Solar Fire, were on the island of Yingzhou, where they only focused on cultivating and didn't collect their True Solar Fire. Previously, they had been suppressing the true fire throughout their bodies, which made them feel uncomfortable. Now that it was released, they suddenly felt comfortable, so they stopped suppressing it again.

  Ten Golden Crows passed by, the river dried up, all living things were destroyed, and the mountains were set ablaze with true fire. The boundless flames burned everything to ashes. In the vast wilderness, countless humans and witches died in this disaster.

  The ten golden crows flew rapidly and soon arrived at a witch tribe's village. The ten golden crows, instead of retracting their true fire, surged with magical power and fully activated the true fire all over their bodies. In an instant, the ten golden crows flew over the witch tribe's village, setting ablaze all the tents and houses in the village. Countless people from the witch tribe were reduced to ashes in the midst of the true fire, and cries of despair echoed throughout the entire village.

  The Ten Golden Crows were the sons of Emperor Jun, and since birth, they had always been the crown princes of the Heavenly Court, high above all others. Not to mention these unrefined humans and witches, even the gods in the Heavenly Court didn't enter their eyes. Therefore, when killing so many humans and witches, the Ten Golden Crows not only didn't have any regret, but instead felt a sense of great revenge fulfilled, with a comfortable feeling in their hearts.

  The golden crow flew too fast, back and forth in the witch tribe's village, the entire village fell into a sea of flames, miserable cries rose one after another, shaking the heavens and moving the earth.

  After Hou Tu's reincarnation in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Hou Tu tribe was handed over to the two great shamans of the Hou Tu tribe, Kuafu and Hou Yi.

  On this day, Kuafu was thinking deeply in his tent when he suddenly heard a miserable cry and smelled the faint scent of char wafting through the air. Startled, Kuafu rushed out of the tent to see that the entire tribe had been engulfed in flames, with many of its people reduced to nothing but piles of charcoal.

  Some of the tribe members with high cultivation and strong bodies were struggling, while several big shamans were rushing around to rescue their people. Meanwhile, in the sky above, ten fireballs were flying back and forth, emitting bursts of laughter that made Kuafu's body tremble violently, his eyes wide open. Suddenly, he let out a furious roar: "Ah, you flat-haired beasts, come and surrender! I, Kuafu, will never allow you to enter the cycle of reincarnation!"

  Kuafu then revealed his true form, and was seen as a giant standing between heaven and earth, with a height of several hundred zhang, two yellow snakes piercing through each ear, and another pair coiled around each arm, holding a peach wood staff in hand.

  Kuafu revealed his true form and swung the peach wood staff in his hand towards the golden crow in the sky. Two loud cries were heard, and one of the golden crows was struck by the peach wood staff, falling down with a few feathers and drops of real blood. These feathers and blood ignited as soon as they touched the ground, causing a huge fire that instantly burned several giant trees into charcoal, which then collapsed and injured several members of the witch tribe.

  Originally in the high sky, a few golden crows playing happily were suddenly knocked down by Kuafu, instantly enraged, they scolded and shouted, spitting out real fire from their mouths, burning many people of the Wu tribe to wail and scream.

  Kua Fu's eyes were bloodshot, his blue veins bulging, he didn't hear or ask, and with a loud shout, he struck the Golden Crow again.

  "Boom, boom!" Two more shots rang out, and the two golden crows were hit, flying far away, shedding countless feathers and true blood. However, Kuafu didn't care about that now; he was only thinking of driving these beasts out of his tribe first, then striking the final blow. Otherwise, his own tribe would suffer countless casualties.

  "Boastful father, your tribe has deceived people too much. You actually ran to our Yingzhou to insult us. Today, let you know the severity of our brothers."

  The old man shouted loudly and was also furious. In a short moment, the three brothers were injured. Although it was due to carelessness, it can be seen that Boastful Father's power is not to be trifled with.

  Kua Fu was furious upon hearing this, and hated the fact that he couldn't swallow these golden crows alive. He didn't think that the Wu tribe would go to Yingzhou to humiliate these golden crows, even if they did, there was no need to use such cruel means, slaughtering their own people. In Kua Fu's eyes, this was purely an excuse.

  Kua Fu let out a loud whoop, his legs exerting great force as he sprang into the air. His peach-wood staff danced and whirled, slicing through the void like a golden lightning bolt flashing by. With a loud crack, it struck Old Master's body.

  "Hmm"

  The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, and half of his wing was almost torn off by Kuafu.

  At this time, several golden crows finally united together, not daring to be slightly careless. The ten people advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, entangling with Kuafu. In a short period of time, they actually fought Kuafu to a draw.

  Kua Fu is after all a great shaman, and within the Shaman Tribe, he is also one of the top-notch experts. The number of big and small battles he has experienced is countless. How can these pampered and spoiled Golden Crows compare to his battle experience?

  As a result, the golden crows soon fell into a disadvantage, and several of them were injured.

  As time went on, several golden crows were about to hold on no longer. Old Ten flew to the side of Old Big and said urgently, "Big brother, if we go on like this, we will surely be defeated and die without a burial place. Why don't we lure Kuafu to the extreme west? That is a desolate desert, where the air is thin and the sun's power is strong. At that time, it will be advantageous for us, and we can take advantage of this to destroy Kuafu."

  The boss didn't hesitate either, he also knew the situation in front of him, if they delayed any further, they would definitely be stuck here. Just then, Old Seven was hit by Kuafu again, and the boss hastily said, "Brothers, follow us, retreat!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he followed Lao Shi and flew westward first.

  Several golden crows were not stupid, and after hearing the words, they spouted out the true fire of the sun, spraying it towards Kuafu. Kuafu hastily used his peach wood staff to defend himself, but during this time, several golden crows took advantage of the opportunity to escape.

  Kua Fu was enraged, a great shaman like himself couldn't even keep a few flat-haired beasts from escaping, how could he still stand in the tribe? In an instant, he took off running wildly.

  Kuafu's speed was no match for the Golden Crows, and on the way, Kuafu could only follow far behind the Golden Crows, unable to catch up with them.

  As time passed, Kuafu realized he couldn't catch up to the Golden Crow, so he decided to give up. But just then, the Golden Crow in front of him suddenly slowed down its speed. Kuafu was overjoyed and once again frantically chased after it. Just as he was about to catch up, the Golden Crows accelerated again, pulling away a little distance before slowing down once more. This cat-and-mouse chase continued across half of the vast wilderness.

  Kuafu's whole body was on fire, and he was extremely thirsty. Along the way, whenever he encountered water, he would drink it up. When he came across the Yangtze River, Kuafu drank it dry with one gulp, but his thirst still wasn't quenched.

  He then encountered the Yellow River, and in an instant he drank it dry, but still not enough. Kuafu was always in a state of hunger and thirst on his way, yet he persisted. He knew that as long as he persisted, perhaps the next moment he could kill these beasts.

  The Golden Crows led Kuafu to the depths of the desert, estimating that even if Kuafu turned back and ran now, he would not be able to escape the desert. The Golden Crows then stopped their shape-shifting and turned back to attack Kuafu in unison.

  Kua Fu had exhausted his vital energy on this journey, and in this desert, there was not much vital energy for him to absorb. Adding to that, he was already weakened by hunger and thirst, no longer as brave as before, and the movements of his hands slowed down. The five Golden Crows, however, were in groups of five, one group attacking while another absorbed the power of the sun to recover their true yuan.

  A group of attacks, the true fire in the body is desperately spraying towards Kuafu. After a short while, Kuafu's hair turned yellow, withered and charred, and the four yellow snakes on his body were weak and lifeless.

  Kuafu was furious, and at this time, he couldn't help but realize that he had been calculated by these beasts. At this moment, Kuafu also knew that if there was no miracle, he would be dead today without a chance of survival. Suddenly, he let out a loud roar, his peach-wood staff dancing wildly in his hand, but he was truly exhausted, his whole body weak and powerless, how could he possibly hit these golden crows?

  Kua Fu, exhausted and distracted, was caught off guard by a golden crow, which left several scratch marks on his body. At the same time, a True Sun Fire also landed on Kua Fu's body, causing him to cry out in agony. The once-mighty sorcerer of the Wu tribe had fallen so low that it was almost unbelievable.

  Kua Fu's mournful howl did not alleviate his suffering, but instead gave the Golden Crows an opportunity to leave several wounds on his body. Slowly, Kua Fu's howling grew weaker and lighter, and at the same time, the movements of his hands also came to a stop.

  "Hmm"

  Lao Shi saw his chance and accelerated to the extreme, making a swift move to get in front of Kuafu, and with one swipe of his paw, he dug out Kuafu's heart.

  With a loud crash, Kuafu fell to the ground, his peach-wood staff slipping from his grasp. After it landed, it transformed into a grove of peach trees, which later generations called Denglin.

  Kua Fu died, the crowd of golden crows collected Kua Fu's entire body of essence and blood, and was about to return to Yingzhou to nurse his wounds. Just then, a "whooshing" sound pierced the air, and the last old five felt a pain in his chest...
