Chapter 967:
Chi You burst into uproarious laughter, but suddenly felt the atmosphere around him shift.
Whirling around, he saw a bald rabbit monk sitting on the cliff behind him. Shifting his gaze slightly, he noticed a rabbit Taoist standing on a pine tree. To the side, a white rabbit, and on another side, a rabbit beggar…
Unbeknownst to him, he was surrounded by ten rabbits.
“Ah, a bunch of rabbits,” Chi You mused. “Why do you rabbits look so human?”
All ten rabbits fumed in unison: “Damn you, Chi You! It’s because of your curse that we have rabbit heads, and now you’re asking us why?”
“Ah? Eh? Eh?” Chi You scratched his head, pondering for a moment before finally realizing, “Ah, I see. I had forgotten; it’s been so long. So, it was I who cursed you to look like this, hahaha! When I was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, I cursed his descendants to have rabbit heads, hahaha! I never thought my curse would actually work.”
Everyone: “…”
“Damn, you’re clueless. Did you not even know your own curse was this effective?” A young voice chimed in.
Chi You turned to see a blonde young man walking into the valley, followed by a group of curvaceous female rabbit people.
Chi You sighed in relief, “Finally, a human face. All these rabbits look the same; I can’t tell them apart or understand their expressions. Talking to a human face feels much more familiar.”
Everyone angrily retorted, “Then don’t curse people like that!”
Robb irritably said, “I never thought Chi You would be such a troll.”
“A troll? I like that title,” Chi You chuckled. “Although, I usually refer to myself as a demon god.”
“I didn’t say demon god; I said troll.”
Chi You blinked his adorable eyes, “You’re strange. Why are you repeating ‘demon god’? Are you trying to say I’m a double-demon god? Doubling the evil doesn’t sound as good.”
Everyone: “…”
Robb: “Why do I feel like this Chi You is unreliable?”
Everyone: “An ancient demon god, truly full of malevolence, but completely missing the point in conversation.”
Chi You snorted, “Dare to say I miss the point? Fine! I’ll show you the point right now.”
He raised his Dustless Sword and sneered, “Recognize this? The Dustless Sword, the second most powerful sword in the world! Apart from the Xuanyuan Sword, no weapon surpasses it. With a swing of this sword, everything within a hundred miles will be annihilated. If you’re wise, you’ll serve me now and assist me in ruling this land. Those who don’t will be killed.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the ten people surrounding him drew their swords…
One Xuanyuan Sword!
Two Xuanyuan Swords!
Three Xuanyuan Swords!
…
Ten gleaming Xuanyuan Swords appeared before Chi You.
Chi You: “What the hell? How?”
Robb shrugged: “During the 5,000 years you were dormant, our diligent Rabbit people have been preparing for your return. We’ve spent all this time collecting Xuanyuan Black iron to forge these ten Xuanyuan Swords, just waiting for you…”
He paused, then continued: “I was going to bluff you with that story, but you seem like a straightforward guy. So, the truth is, I just made these swords. I didn’t even know you existed. I’m here to deal with you so I can go back to the West.”
Chi You: “…”
He laughed instead of getting angry: “After 5,000 years of slumber, have humans become this arrogant? To speak so boldly in the face of me, the demon god Chi You?”
The ten masters around him shook their heads: “No, no, it’s just this Westerner who’s arrogant. We’re still very humble.”
Chi You snorted: “Don’t think that just because you have ten Xuanyuan Swords, you can look down on me. Without the Yellow Emperor, you’re all still doomed.”
With that, he vanished, reappearing in front of the Shaolin monk.
The monk was startled and quickly swung his Xuanyuan Sword.
“Clang!”
A dragon-like clash of swords rang out, and the monk’s Xuanyuan Sword was knocked out of his hand. At the same time, Chi You kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.
The other nine masters were shocked and flew toward the center, their Xuanyuan Swords aimed at Chi You.
Chi You laughed loudly, his Dustless Sword executing a beautiful spin.
A series of “clangs” echoed as another nine Xuanyuan Swords were sent flying.
With a whirlwind kick, Chi You sent the remaining nine masters sprawling.
He laughed heartily: “Without the Yellow Emperor, what use are ten Xuanyuan Swords to you? Or a hundred? Or ten thousand? At the end of the day, it’s people who wield swords. Only a strong person can bring out the power of a weapon; otherwise, these weapons are just scrap metal.”
“Ah, I didn’t expect you, a demon god, to understand such principles,” Robb said. “Very good, excellent!”
He turned to the masters who were picking themselves up and the female rabbit people from the evil sects behind him, saying earnestly: “Did you hear that? Our ancestor is teaching you a lesson. Don’t place your hopes on a sword. No matter how powerful the sword is, if the person wielding it isn’t strong, it’s useless.”
The masters were sweating profusely, and the women were also getting nervous. They hadn’t expected that even ten Xuanyuan Swords couldn’t touch a single hair on Chi You. How could they possibly win this fight? Was this a lost cause?
At this point, no one was in the mood to listen to Robb.
Robb shook his head, his body flickering as he stepped in front of Chi You.
Chi You sneered, “Ah, the big talker has arrived.”
Robb shrugged, “I’m not one for grandiose statements; I prefer to be straightforward. Let’s get this over with; I still have to go home and deal with the Black Dragon.”
“Oh? The Black Dragon?” Chi You sneered, “Is that the creature that released me from Leifeng Tower? I was in a rush to find my sword at the time and didn’t pay it any mind. I don’t know how formidable it is, but when I was making my way in the world, that dragon was nowhere to be seen.”
Robb said, “If you had paid attention to it, you’d be dead by now… Ah, never mind, let’s focus. You seem like a reasonable person. How about this: you lift the rabbit-head curse, and I won’t fight you. Then we can join hands, be happy friends, and go deal with the Black Dragon together. What do you say?”
“To hell with that, die!” Chi You swung his sword at Robb.
Robb sighed, “So much for being reasonable.”
With a counter move, he slapped Chi You.
Chi You dropped dead.
