Chapter 202: Subduing the Daitengu

　　Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

　　The Daitengu was five meters tall. But as big as he might be, Feng Lin’s entire body just slammed into him, sending him flying.

　　He made sure to continue launching attacks, filling the area around him with fist shadows that struck with the force of a tempest.

　　The Daitengu also didn’t expect Feng Lin, a seemingly weak human, to actually be so ferocious when he was attacking. It had to take the relentless attacks, and its body trembled from the impact as both of them plunged through the air and into the ground.

　　A thunderous boom rang out as a giant crater appeared on the ground, giving rise to clouds of dust.

　　The Daitengu instantly stood up. It took the full brunt of the impact since it was the one below. Its flushed face was now already purple as anger could be seen in its gaze. “Human, how dare you! DIE!”

　　Howls of anger rang out.

　　Its wings flapped rapidly as it soared into the air. The katana slashed out a beautiful arc from bottom to top, aiming for Feng Lin. The edge of the katana was razor-sharp. The Daitengu brimmed with killing intent, wanting nothing more than to slash this detestable human into two pieces.

　　Feng Lin leaned back as he retreated. His fists were like huge hammers as they blasted forward, slamming into the katana’s edge.

　　At the moment of impact, sparks generated, flying everywhere.

　　Feng Lin’s body was flung through the air from the impact. Only by somersaulting numerous times did he finally manage to regain his balance, stabilizing his footing as he landed.

　　The Daitengu just soared into the air. But upon the powerful impact, it was almost sent smashing into the ground again. Only by flapping its wings frenziedly did it manage to regain its balance.

　　Upon seeing this, Feng Lin came to a realization.

　　Although the Daitengu was a grandmaster in sword arts, just based on strength alone, the Daitengu was absolutely not a match for him.

　　The katana attacks could be considered material attacks, and his innate ability of the Stone Monkey Gene should be able to counter it. Today, he had a high chance of winning.

　　Although his spirit force wasn’t able to block the slashes of the Daitengu, it didn’t mean that his spirit force was completely useless.

　　Feng Lin’s spirit force transformed into a formless giant hand that grabbed the huge rocks on the ground, continuously tossing them toward the Daitengu.

　　The Daitengu’s wings had to flap rapidly, agilely evading the rocks. Its katana slashed out visible beams of sword light that radiated a razor-sharp aura, severing those rocks it could not dodge. It didn’t hesitate and displayed the brilliance of its sword art. Its mastery over sword arts was at a level equivalent to the strongest swordsman in the world.

　　Feng Lin grew excited when he saw this. This Daitengu was as expected of the greater demon possessing the greatest combat prowess. Its sword arts could only be described as terrifying. If he could subdue it, it would surely prove to be a great help to him.

　　Third slash of extreme destruction!

　　Being suppressed by a mere human caused the incomparably arrogant Daitengu to be completely enraged. Its wings abruptly wrapped around its body as it started to spin rapidly in circles, manifesting a black-colored hurricane that created wind blades, destroying the rocks tossed at him.

　　It then fused as one with his katana, piercing forth with unstoppable momentum.

　　The sharpness gleamed brilliantly, flashing in the sky. It was like a lightning bolt, instantly shooting ahead and destroying everything.

　　Feng Lin instinctively blocked with a punch. However, at the next instant, he felt a terrible pain. He hurriedly pulled his hand back as he retreated with explosive speed.

　　After lengthening the distance between them, he discovered that a visible wound had appeared on his fist as blood flowed from it.

　　This was the first time in a long time that he was injured after clashing head-on with an opponent.

　　He was too careless.

　　Feng Lin silently reminded himself that there were all sorts of abilities in the world. He mustn’t underestimate his opponents and overestimate himself.

　　He had always depended on the insane defense of the Stone Monkey Gene to defeat his enemies. And along the way, he had lost the vigilance he ought to have and had forgotten that there would always be counters to one’s abilities.

　　Back then after Sun Wukong mastered his skills, he rebelled against the heavenly court and fought against the battle god of the three realms, Erlang Deity Yang Jian, for several hundred rounds with no victor. In the end, because he was bitten by the Erlang Deity’s pet, the Sky Hound, his ability to use transformations got suppressed, and he was eventually defeated.

　　This Daitengu seemed to be the counterpart of the Sky Hound in japanese mythology, and it seemed to have this suppressive ability too, rendering the defense of his Stone Monkey Gene useless. Earlier, that sword strike seemed to have a profound law surrounding it. It appeared ordinary and wasn’t very powerful, yet it could directly ignore the opponent’s defense.

　　Although he currently had yet to discover any other abilities the Daitengu possessed, this point alone was already terrifying enough. The Stone Monkey Gene’s defense in which he had depended so heavily on had no way to resist the slashes.

　　Hence, he mustn’t defend against the sword slashes head-on!

　　Feng Lin quickly changed his way of thinking. Since he wasn’t able to block the sword slashes, why not made it so that the Daitengu had no way to unleash any sword strikes?

　　If not, he would suffer too much a disadvantage if he were to fight barehanded against a katana.

　　Swish!

　　Another slash came his way.

　　Feng Lin’s spirit force gushed forth, propelling him into the air and allowing him to evade this sword strike. He then lunged toward the Daitengu. His palms formed the gestures for the Immortal Binding Rope, wanting to restrict the Daitengu’s movements, not allowing it to struggle free.

　　Immortal Binding Rope Imprint!

　　The true legendary Immortal Binding Rope of the legends could even shackle saints, gods, and immortals, preventing them from transforming into different forms so they couldn’t escape.

　　Feng Lin’s rope imprint flew over. He didn’t retreat but chose to advance instead, moving nearer to the Daitengu in an attempt to capture it.

　　This palm strike flowed into another move, becoming a claw attack as he grabbed one of the Daitengu’s wings. After that, he exerted force and pulled with all his might. The wing which was about five to six meters in length was directly plucked off, including the tendons that connected it to the Daitengu’s back. Boiling black demon blood then poured out from the dreadful wound, drenching Feng Lin completely.

　　The Daitengu howled in agony. It was only left with one wing and due to the issue of balance, the Daitengu naturally fell from the sky.

　　Feng Lin grew more ferocious, grabbing its neck with one hand while grabbing the wrist where the Daitengu wielded its katana with his other hand. He naturally couldn’t allow the Daitengu to unleash any more katana attacks.

　　A human and a demon were bound together as they fell from the air.

　　Other than being a grandmaster in the sword arts, the normal fighting skill the Daitengu possessed wasn’t that strong. It was easily controlled by Feng Lin despite its struggle. During the chaos, its remaining wing also slapped over, aiming for Feng Lin.

　　Feng Lin didn’t evade. His tough back muscles tightened, resembling a wall of steel as he endured the impact. After that, he slammed his head into the Daitengu’s chest repeatedly, using his head like a hammer and causing the Daitengu to howl in pain.

　　The two of them then smashed heavily into the ground.

　　The Daitengu was an extremely arrogant greater demon. It was also reluctant to admit defeat and continued struggling. “Detestable human! Today, I shall slay you!”

　　It wasn’t able to endure the shame of being bested by a human. As they struggled, its remaining wing and claws were also mixed into its attacks.

　　Feng Lin didn’t reply. He knew that if he wanted to subdue this extremely arrogant Daitengu, the only way was to brutally crush it to the point of complete devastation. It was useless to speak; actions would prove everything.

　　With a kick, he sent the fearsome katana of the Daitengu flying, not allowing it to have any chance to resist. After that, he unleashed a barrage of attacks, ruthlessly slamming his fists into the Daitengu’s face unceasingly.

　　BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

　　The earth trembled violently. The immense punch force slammed into the Daitengu, transferring into the ground. The large nose of the Daitengu was crooked now and its head was smashed into a hole in the ground. Its body was riddled with wounds as fresh blood flowed from them. His resistance also grew weaker and weaker.

　　Only at the very end, when it was on the verge of death did Feng Lin relent. He stood up and stared fixedly at the Daitengu. He didn’t waste words, going straight to the point. “Do you want to live or die?”

　　The Daitengu weakly opened its eyelids. It couldn’t help but fall silent. From Feng Lin’s words, it could sense Feng Lin’s ruthlessness. If it still didn’t submit, most probably, it would be killed.

　　But its innate arrogant nature caused it to grit its teeth as it thought about having to verbally agree to submit to a human. In the end, it chose to close its eyes and no longer speak.

　　Feng Lin could read the situation. He instantly knew that the Daitengu had submitted and would no longer resist.

　　He took out that purple gourd and according to the method of activation the ninja had told him, the gourd began to emit a boundless absorption force that sucked the Daitengu’s body within. On the surface of the gourd, a picture of the Daitengu wielding a katana could be seen.

　　Feng Lin understood that he had already subdued this greater demon.
