Chapter 825 439: Boss, Well Played! Boss, Please Stop!
The sky had not yet brightened, the world engulfed in darkness, with no dawn in sight.
At this time, even the roosters were still asleep, not thinking of crowing.
Some roosters, upon waking, would crow, while others, upon waking, couldn't even muster a cluck, let alone a crow.
At this moment, a large red-crested rooster had somehow a reed pipe placed on its head, and with the sound of intense sucking, the juices in the rooster's head were completely drawn into a person's mouth.
The rooster's brain is small and is gone with a single suck, but this person was not only able to suck out the rooster's brain but also able to suck its blood.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, the entire rooster was sucked dry.
Yet it still wasn't dead, like a worn-out rag bag, being thrown to the ground by that person.
The sky darkened, the dim light illuminating the man's face, revealing a sharp and narrow mouth, bright eyes, and a piece of red meat resembling a crest atop his head.
Forced to describe, he indeed looked quite similar to the rooster that hadn't quite died on the ground.
Because he himself was the Chicken sign.
Monkey Face Hou Wuya loves eating monkey brains, while Ji Sichen enjoys devouring rooster brains.
Rooster brains are small, but roosters are more common than monkeys, thus Ji Sichen always had more gourmet meals than Monkey Face.
This was something he took pride in.
But now Ji Sichen showed no signs of pride.
He was hiding within the shadows of a village chicken coop, clothes tattered, face covered in dust, barely different from a beggar.
Because he was on the run.
Ever since he accidentally got hit by Old Demon Duan's punch, he suddenly wanted to become a Hero, wanting to kill Gu Daoist.
As a child, his mother was violated by Gu Daoist of the Heavenly Human Dao, and his mother suffered severe internal injuries because of this, leaving a significant mark on his heart.
Later, he grew up, grew stronger, and became one of the feared Twelve Star Signs, yet he still lacked the courage to confront Gu Daoist.
Because Gu Daoist was truly powerful.
The Daoists of the Heavenly Human Dao called themselves "Heavenly People," meaning celestial beings descended from heaven, they even established a "Heavenly People City" and "Heavenly People Temple".
In Heavenly People City, ordinary people were enslaved like livestock, and the same went for any Martial World hero who arrived there.
Because in the eyes of the Daoists of the Heavenly Human Dao, they were "Heavenly People", and everyone else was a lower species, no better than pigs and dogs.
Many within the Martial World had once objected to this notion, including some experts, but gradually there were none left.
The Martial World had accepted this claim, recognizing them as the Heavenly People.
It was like a forbidden place in the Martial World, where even an Emperor had to bow.
For instance, places like Mingyu Palace, even an Emperor would have few chances to approach.
Heavenly People City was only a relatively open forbidden place, as Daoists of the Heavenly Human Dao frequently shared teachings, some of which included profound martial arts, so Heavenly People City was never short of "dogs".
These "dogs" outside were often lords and disciples from martial arts families, yet to hear the teachings, they willingly became dogs, such was the terror of the Daoists of the Heavenly Human Dao.
Ji Sichen knew well that with his brother's skills and temper, even against the Daoists of the Heavenly Human Dao, he'd have a go.
For years he hadn't told his brother about this matter, later when his brother vanished, he had no one to tell, and he dismissed the thought of seeking revenge against Gu Daoist early on.
He didn't dare!
He not only lacked the capability, but he also didn't dare!
But ever since Old Demon Duan's punch, he dared!
The strong desire to become a Hero stirred him, pushing him to confront Gu Daoist.
Because a Hero acts!
This was both to deal with his enemy and his inner demons.
But what made him so miserable now wasn't Gu Daoist.
Because when he arrived at Heavenly People City, Gu Daoist was already crippled.
The reason was Gu Daoist, in pursuit of the Heavenly Dao, experimented with various animals, engaging in dual cultivation with more than a hundred, including poisonous snakes and fierce elephants.
Reportedly, he had a continuous encounter with a black-haired giant elephant for a month, seemingly gaining some insight.
But it wasn't the snakes or the elephants that crippled Gu Daoist, it was the second tower master of the Red House.
Matched against the master of the Red House, though aging, Gu Daoist held his ground, even if the master was one of the most seductive women on earth.
He fell by challenging Chan Di, the second tower master.
The master's Chan Di of the Red House wasn't ordinary, it was a deadly poison to mortals, yet Gu Daoist, for the sake of the Dao, dared to try it.
Subsequently, fighting against the second tower master for three days and nights, he ultimately was defeated, with toxins erupting, leaving him crippled.
When Ji Sichen saw him, Gu Daoist was covered in dense cauliflower-like herpes, unable even to feed himself or drink.
Ji Sichen asked about the past involving his mother, but Gu Daoist remained utterly confused.
Evidently, not only was Gu Daoist physically crippled, but he had also turned into a fool.
Ji Sichen didn't kill him.
Or rather, the heroic drive within him didn't urge him to kill.
Because killing such a cripple yielded no satisfaction.
Instead, he found a beloved disciple of Gu Daoist, killed the disciple, and departed with ease.
Of course, Gu Daoist wasn't the only Daoist in Heavenly People City, but even after Ji Sichen killed Gu Daoist's disciple, no other Daoists came to trouble him for the time being.
What Ji Sichen didn't know was that, although the Daoists of the Heavenly Human Dao all claimed to be "Heavenly People," each had a different view of the Heavenly Dao, and so they had little camaraderie, often using each other to test their Dao to prove whose Dao was more correct and powerful.
