Wrongly practicing evil skills, imitating the laws of nature

#122 - Brothers and sisters are more important! (Please order)

The Monkey and Rooster Zodiacs felt a growing sense of foreboding as they approached Zhuyan Manor.

Too quiet!

They knew that this Pig always loved a grand display, so there was no reason why there shouldn't even be someone to answer the door.

The Monkey and Rooster Zodiacs had been tracking Duan Yun, and they were becoming increasingly alarmed.

Along the way, they had heard storytellers recounting new tales about the Devil Duan.

Stories of how he made all the Honglou Fairies and Tang Clan Young Masters wet themselves, and how the Devil had eradicated the Honglou's base, which housed dozens of women.

When they arrived at the Honglou's base, it was utterly devastated.

There weren't even two complete corpses; the Honglou women were all in pieces.

With their skills, capturing a few Honglou Fairies for their amusement wouldn't have been difficult.

However, Devil Duan's brutality—making people wet themselves before turning them into chunks—was simply too crude.

To devils who enjoyed snapping necks and drinking brains, it lacked finesse but possessed an unsettling, almost evil quality.

The further they tracked, the closer they got to Pig Blackface's manor, and they began to guess Duan Yun's intentions.

Devil Duan had traveled all this way to wipe out Old Pig's entire family?

What was his courage made of?

The Monkey and Rooster Zodiacs had always believed that any of the remaining members of the twelve Zodiacs were on par with Devil Duan.

Especially with them in the shadows and him in the light, they had the advantage.

The Monkey was even gleefully anticipating drinking Devil Duan's tofu brains.

Devil Duan traveling thousands of miles to kill on Old Pig's turf seemed like a sure trap.

At least Old Pig wouldn't suffer a loss on his own territory.

But…

Listening to the silence inside, the Monkey and Rooster Zodiacs felt a sense of unease.

After entering the manor, their hearts sank.

The path was littered with corpses.

Clearly, Devil Duan's handiwork.

When they reached the seemingly crumbling reception hall, they were filled with dread.

This was the result of Devil Duan and Old Pig's battle.

Having been brothers for so many years, they knew Pig Blackface's capabilities.

His natural strength and nine-toothed rake were as formidable as an army.

In a head-on fight, the two of them were no match, which was why Pig Blackface dared to openly declare he would torture Devil Duan.

They didn't believe Devil Duan could defeat Pig Blackface in a straight fight, let alone on Pig Blackface's own turf!

Pig Blackface thought so too, but sadly, he was dead.

In his final moments, he still believed he was the invincible Pig God, surrounded by his beloved string and wind music!

Amidst the ruins, Rooster Zodiac, Rooster Cries at Dawn, quickly broke open a piece of rock and found a survivor.

The bloodthirsty musician who played the suona horn, nearly bleeding from all seven orifices.

In the martial world, bleeding from all seven orifices was often associated with death, as if it directly meant someone had died.

But the truth was, bleeding from all seven orifices was just that, and death was death.

The musician recognized the Rooster and Monkey Zodiacs at a glance.

"My lords, the master was defeated! The Devil Duan tortured and killed even the Second Madam! He chopped her into a human stick, and when the master tried to die with her, the Devil Duan forcibly separated them!"

The bleeding musician said between coughs of blood.

Hearing this, the Rooster and Monkey Zodiacs' eyes widened in fury.

Each of the twelve Zodiacs was a devil, and six of them had already died.

Apart from the Tiger and Dog Zodiacs, who had died from cultivating martial arts to the point of madness, the deaths of the others were all spectacular.

But none had died as tragically as the Pig Zodiac.

Devil Duan, you have some skill!

"I've played for the master my whole life, and I never imagined he would lose so miserably. I've also never seen a devil as ferocious and evil as Devil Duan."

The Rooster Zodiac stopped the bleeding by pressing on two of his acupoints and said, "Old Li, tell us slowly, how did Devil Duan defeat your master?"

So, the bleeding musician, Old Li, recounted how Duan Yun made the Second Madam wet herself, crippled her, and then how he made Pig Blackface wet himself before killing him.

After listening, the Rooster and Monkey Zodiacs were silent.

Too tragic!

Brother Pig, you died too tragically!

At this moment, the Monkey Zodiac suddenly asked, "What about the Devil? What's his condition?"

The bleeding musician said, "The Devil was injured, definitely seriously injured! My lords, you must seize the opportunity and avenge the master!"

"Avenge!"

"Avenge!"

As he spoke, his bloody hand groped on the ground and picked up the blood-stained suona horn, blew into it, and breathed his last.

Before dying, he grabbed the Monkey Zodiac's hand, signaling him to avenge his master.

The Monkey Zodiac shook off the musician's hand, his expression strange, and said, "Do you really think Devil Duan is seriously injured?"

The Rooster Zodiac pondered, "Given Old Pig's abilities, it should be so."

But later, especially after finding Pig Blackface's ruined bedroom, they fell silent again.

The sword marks on the wall were clearly Devil Duan's.

Would someone seriously injured have the time and mood to search for treasure here?

They could imagine that after Devil Duan cruelly killed their brother and his wife, he looted their corpses, and still not satisfied, went to their bedrooms, slashing sword energy at the walls like it was free, and then discovered the secret chamber behind the fireplace, and took the treasure…

If you say such a person is seriously injured, why not say he's just having a final burst of energy?

At this moment, the Rooster Zodiac finally voiced his confusion, saying, "Devil Duan's finger technique for making the sister-in-law wet herself, doesn't it sound like your 'Amorous Finger Force'?"

The Monkey Zodiac was also annoyed, saying, "This doesn't sound like my uncle's 'Amorous Finger Force'. Although the finger force is amorous, it's not this lewd. But listening to Old Li's description, he can unleash finger force while performing graceful movements, which is somewhat similar."

The Rooster Zodiac frowned and said, "Could it be that Devil Duan practiced it wrong and developed this lewd finger force?"

The Monkey Zodiac said, annoyed, "Are you crazy?"

Amorous Finger Force was already very dangerous because it was only half complete, and it could turn people's brains into mush. If practiced wrong, who knows how dangerous it would become.

The Rooster Zodiac said, "But the fact is that Devil Duan only recently started using this lewd finger technique. In previous rumors, he didn't have the habit of making people wet themselves before killing them."

The Monkey Zodiac didn't want to admit it, but this was indeed the most reasonable guess.

He couldn't help but shudder and said, "Then this Devil Duan is too strange, isn't he?"

Looking at the manor, as silent as a grave, they both felt strange and eerie, even a little scared.

Although they didn't say it, they gradually believed from the bottom of their hearts that Devil Duan was stronger than them.

Stronger by a level, not someone they could deal with alone.

Well, even if the two of them joined forces, the original certainty of victory was now uncertain.

Devil Duan was more evil and terrifying than they had imagined.

At the same time, they had to admit a very embarrassing fact: the secret manual the Monkey had used to lure others had instead harmed their brother Pig and his wife.

The "comb" on the Rooster Zodiac's head swelled a few times, and he muttered, "Have we brothers encountered this kind of evil monster for the first time after being devils for so many years?"

The Monkey Zodiac nodded and said, "The first time."

"Then what do we do now?" the Rooster Zodiac said.

"Take his life while Devil Duan is seriously injured?" the Monkey Zodiac tried.

"But is he really seriously injured?" the Rooster Zodiac pondered.

"Don't know," the Monkey Zodiac shook his head.

"Then are we still going?" the Monkey Zodiac continued.

"I'll go if you go!"

"I want to wait a little longer," the Monkey Zodiac scratched his head and said.

"Wait for what?"

"Brother Pig died, but he still has family members scattered outside. I want to find them and take good care of them."

Rooster Cries at Dawn looked at Monkey Without Teeth with a surprised expression and said, "You're really good to your brothers."

"I can't help it, I can't bear to see the sisters-in-law suffer. If you die one day, I'll take care of them for you too."

Rooster Cries at Dawn's eyes went straight and said, "I'm just worried about my women being taken care of by you, that's why I've never married."

"You've never had a woman in your life?"

"No, if I had one, I would have a weakness."

"Then you, Rooster, have lost a lot of fun."

"I'd rather not have this fun than have another weakness," Rooster Cries at Dawn replied.

At this time, Monkey Without Teeth put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the sisters-in-law won't become your weakness, but will make you have a lot of fun."

Rooster Cries at Dawn asked, "Then we're not looking for Devil Duan?"

"We have to wait for the opportunity?"

"What opportunity?"

"An opportunity for a sure kill. We have to hide in the shadows all the time. Devil Duan has the habit of practicing kung fu. Since 'Amorous Tricks' doesn't work, then we'll use something else. I don't believe Devil Duan can be so lucky all the time."

"Yes, as long as he practices kung fu, he will be killed by evil kung fu sooner or later," Rooster Cries at Dawn pondered.

"Besides, he's offended more and more people and will definitely continue to be besieged. We can seize the opportunity when he's weak and kill him with one blow."

"That's what I think too."

"Well, then let's find the sisters-in-law first."

"Yes, it's not that we don't want to fight Old Devil with our lives, but that we're too loyal. Our brother is dead, and the living sisters-in-law can't suffer any more!"

As he spoke, the Rooster and Monkey were already walking out.
