《Xianshi Inn (A contemporary Xianxia novel)》Chapter 157
Advertisement
There was not much distance between Jianmen and the bigger and flatter head of the monster, and it was only a matter of milliseconds before the glowing face landed on Jianmen.
Right before the glowing face hit Jianmen, he converted his next attack spell into a defensive spell and formed an energy shield right in front of him. The glowing face latched onto the shield, toxic and corrosive energy instantly started seeping from its empty eyes, nose, ears and mouth. Jianmen was also propelled backwards at the wall behind him, and without a doubt, his body broke through the wall and the wall behind the wall.
Before being pushed any further, Jianmen concentrated his Xuanli on both his hands and unleashed a flurry of palm strikes at the glowing face from a small distance. The glowing face’s energy and power was swiftly swept away by these palm strikes, and when it fully dissipated, Jianmen unleashed the final strike onto the ground a few steps before him.
Three stone golems with the same height and general built as Jianmen emerged from the ground and started advancing on the monster’s position. Each of these stone golems had a different weapon in its hand: a stone meat cleaver, a stone broom, and a stone sword. Jianmen jumped up and followed, and he took out another carefully folded Demon Suppression Sigil and embedded it inside of a stone meat cleaver he conjured from the ground.
Jianmen busted into the room in which the monster resided just at the same time with the three stone golems and lunged towards the monster from four different directions. The monster cried out, then turned his head and the three remaining faces started lighting up in green, red and light purple respectively. Before Jianmen and the three golems were able to launch their attack, the remaining faces shot at Jianmen and two other stone golems.
This time Jianmen was ready, and with full force swing of his stone meat cleaver, a silvery blue crescent-shaped energy blade clashed with the red face with a furious facial expression and dripping burning blood like liquid from its mouth.

The next moment, Jianmen was not going to stand there and wait to see the result of the clash, with a quick twirl of the meat cleaver, the folded Demon Suppression Sigil was wrapped around its handle. As Jianmen infused the sigil and in turn the meat cleaver with his Xuanli, a thin layer of light silvery blue energy coated the entire meat cleaver in entirety. The monster, on the other hand, started growing four different faces on its flat head again.
The monster extended one of its hands at Jianmen trying to grab or claw him, and Jianmen countered it with a palm strike with his left hand. While at the same time, the final stone golem that was not destroyed by the three faces swung the stone broom in its hand at the deep wound on the monster’s long spine left by the earlier lightning ball drilling attack.
Jianmen got knocked back and almost sent flying when his palm strike collided head to head with the monster’s claw attack, and the monster was just shaken a bit and had to retract the hand. The next moment, the remaining stone golem’s broom just slammed onto the wound, and a lot of the dark energy was instantly dispersed as with the dark liquid that was covering most of the surface of the spinal bones.
The broom strike caused the monster much greater pain than any of Jianmen’s previous attacks, and forced it to stop with its next attack on Jianmen and try to target the last stone golem wielding the stone broom.
With this immediate opening, Jianmen threw his meat cleaver out in full force at the monster’s rib cage. The meat cleaver spun in the air as it flew, fast enough that it turned into a flying ring of silvery blue light. The monster noticed what kind of threat this spinning meat cleaver posed to it and tried to block it with two of his arms, but the meat cleaver just cut through its boney arms and struck true on its rib cage.

A huge cracking sound louder that from a thunder exploded in the room, the monster’s whole body was knocked to the side, almost hitting the wall and the stone meat cleaver got embedded into the rib cage. The remaining stone golem raised its stone broom again, and struck down on the same wound on the monster’s spinal bones like it was smashing a poisonous spider.
With a loud cracking sound, more bone fragments flew from the wound, and even more dark liquid gushed out from the hollow space at the center of the bones. Jianmen raised both hands and held two balls of lightning in both his palms, then he threw one at the stone golem, and threw one at the monster on the floor.
The stone golem received the ball of lightning with his broom, and absorbed it fully. The other ball of lightning, on the other hand, exploded in mid-air and forcefully pushed it back down a little.
The stone broom in the golem’s hand was swung one last time, and it was so forceful that it completely shattered on the wound. This time, all the dark energy that was once infused in the spinal bones were completely swept away.
Jianmen jumped in the air, with almost all of his remaining Xuanli concentrated on his right hand and unleashed a palm strike from above. A silvery blue shadow of a huge palm appeared out of thin air and struck down with Jianmen’s own palm. The monster curled up its arms trying to defend itself, but the huge palm shadow still almost crushed it entirely onto the ground, and pushed the stone meat cleaver deeper into its rib cage.
The stone golem’s entire body shattered into pieces of splinter, when it delivered its final blow in the form of a hand chop onto the deep wound on the monster’s spine. The bones on the spine shattered along with it, finally cutting the monster off from the world behind the dark liquid wall.
The monster screamed and started rolling on the ground while cursing at Jianmen: “You’ll pay for this! You’ll pay for this! You can’t kill me! You don’t have the power!”
“Still being a hard-ass, huh?” now that the monster’s cut off from the world behind the dark liquid wall, and the wall started getting back to normal, Jianmen took a few deep breaths and said: “How’d you like it with a fucking blade on your core? Your fucking fanatics are doing it all over town!”
“You can’t kill me! I will come for you! I curse you! I curse you!” the monster’s body started shrivelling up while leaking the same kind of dark from the wall. Jianmen could tell that it was because the loss of its power source and its grievous injuries from the fight caused the monster’s body and even its entire existence to start crumbling and imploding - like a supernatural version of starvation but at a much faster pace.
“I know I can’t kill you - yet.” Jianmen kicked the monster’s body over and exposed the stone meat cleaver with its blade fully cut through the monster’s rib cage and the tip of the edge sunken into the skull of the head within the rib cage, almost splitting the forehead open: “You think this is my first time dealing with fallen gods? But thanks for the altar, it’s quite nice and I think I’ll just keep it for myself.”
A bolt of lightning was released from Jianmen’s hand and landed on the stone meat cleaver’s handle with the Demon Suppression Sigil still wrapped around it, an energy blade instantly extended from the stone meat cleaver’s edge and sliced up the head in the rib cage completely into two different pieces.
