Chapter 151: A Niu Returns Home

A Niu is foolish.

His arm was twisted by a tremendous force, yet he still wouldn’t cry out in pain, only raising his other fist to swing at the demon’s face.

And so, his other hand was also twisted.

“Crack.”

A Niu is stupid.

His abdomen was slashed by sharp dragon claws, his intestines spilling out, blood everywhere, yet he wouldn’t cry, still grinning foolishly.

And so, the demon, curious how long he could endure, continued to ravage his body.

“Rip.”

A Niu is dumb.

The demon had clearly said, if he surrendered, he’d live a better life than ever before, with unimaginable luxury in food and clothing.

But he refused.

He kept biting down hard.

Blood pooled in his mouth, eventually turning into a spit, which he spat onto the demon’s face.

“Just a stubborn fool,” the demon’s expression turned cold, losing all interest in the game.

With a casual flick.

The dragon claw, carrying immense force, roared through the air, crashing towards the already mangled figure.

Strangely.

A Niu felt the world slow down.

He opened his blood-soaked eyes, watching the dragon claw slowly arc through the air, carrying a bloody wind, inch by inch towards him.

So slow…

He thought, his usually dull mind suddenly becoming agile, thinking of many things in that moment.

Did everyone make it out of the mountains?

Did Brother Xu get some rest?

Will there be white rice in the underworld after death?

A Niu had many questions.

So many.

It was as if all the thoughts of his muddled life were bursting forth at this final moment, his eyes reflecting the sun, bringing light to his cloudy gaze.

It hurts, my stomach hurts, my hands hurt.

Every part of me hurts so much.

The simple man, with broken limbs and drenched in his own blood, was in unbearable pain, yet he grinned, a tragic smile.

It hurts, but I’m so happy.

I did it, even a fool like me did it.

I successfully held off this demon, giving Brother Xu and everyone else a better chance to survive, it’s so great…

Ah…

Ah ah…

The sun disappeared.

The dragon claw swung towards A Niu’s face, its massive size completely blocking the sun’s light.

All A Niu could see was darkness.

It reminded him of the night he talked with Xu Xi, when Xu Xi told him the meaning of life is to be happy.

“Brother Xu…”

“I, I’m so happy, I’m really so happy…”

Fatigue surged like a tide, quickly drowning A Niu’s consciousness.

He struggled to hold on.

But his eyelids drooped and closed.

Even now, A Niu still thought he was foolish, a country bumpkin destined to farm all his life.

But he was so excited, because he had lived happily once, a happiness far greater than a full meal, so happy he couldn’t help but want to sleep.

“The city lords must have never been this happy!”

A Niu was even more satisfied.

Though it hurt so much, he had beaten the lords in the sky, a great joy indeed.

“So sleepy…”

After the joy, sleepiness surged even more.

A Niu closed his eyes completely, strangely, in the darkness, he saw a hazy light.

The light was faint at first,

Then turned into a familiar scene.

It was Qingniu Town, rooted in the borderlands, where A Niu grew up, the town that was burned to ashes by demons.

In the town were Brother Xu, Little Master Wu, and other townsfolk who had died long ago.

So good…

A Niu gazed at this scene.

Unconsciously, he stepped towards the hazy light, into Qingniu Town, faintly hearing his late mother’s voice.

“A Niu, come home for dinner.”

“Okay, mom.”

A Niu quickened his steps, with a pure, happy smile, from walking to running, dashing into his home in Qingniu Town.

“Boom——!!!”

A deafening roar.

The terrifying sound of collapse echoed through the Ten Thousand Mountains.

After the dragon claw fell.

Half a mountain was blown apart.

Leaving behind a dark abyss, nothing remained.

Only a few scattered leaves, wrapped in bright red blood, swayed in the strong wind, dancing like butterflies, flying towards the endless sky.

…

“Sir, aren’t you sad?”

“Sad.”

“Sir, aren’t you angry?”

“Angry.”

The clear blue sky, cloudless.

Even the air was quiet.

The joy of almost leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains quickly turned into indescribable sorrow upon realizing A Niu’s disappearance.

Xu Xi looked up at the sky, motionless for a long time.

He had already asked, including Wu Yingxue and others from the Army of Survival, no one had seen A Niu.

No need to ask anymore…

It’s clear now…

Previously overlooked details due to the intense battle now formed a complete picture.

“That fool, left alone, trying to block a Human Immortal.”

“Really, so foolish…”

This news was too hard to accept.

Wu Yingxue instantly flared up, gripping her long spear, her face full of anger, wanting to avenge A Niu.

Even without seeing.

Just imagining it was clear.

Against such an enemy, A Niu’s only outcome was death.

Yet, as Wu Yingxue was about to step forward, she saw Xu Xi standing still, not moving at all.

So, the girl asked Xu Xi, wasn’t he sad or angry at all?

Xu Xi affirmed.

The girl grew more puzzled.

“Then why…”

“Because A Niu wouldn’t want us to do that.”

Xu Xi withdrew his gaze from the sky, turned and walked forward, continuing to lead the way.

“That fool did this so we could leave the Ten Thousand Mountains, not die at the hands of demons.”

“Going back now would only waste A Niu’s efforts.”

Xu Xi’s voice was calm.

The simple logic and reasoning left the girl stunned for a moment.

Is the sir so rational?

She followed Xu Xi.

Seeing Xu Xi’s fists clenched tighter than ever, trembling slightly.

Each step left deep footprints, as if restraining something.

“Let’s go, we can’t let A Niu’s efforts be in vain.”

Xu Xi supported his faltering body.

Forcing a smile at the girl.

Sir, you…
