How to Bring Common Sense to Xianxia World

Seeing that the guy had suddenly received a massive power boost, Wei Chen couldn’t help but have a thought.

Seriously... was this guy some kind of shonen manga protagonist? Why did he suddenly get a power-up for no reason just before he was about to be completely beaten?

Besides...

Why did this guy look like he had just walked out of a Conan movie?

"Okay, Conan... Since you’ve already achieved your breakthrough, can you please get lost? I have other things to do, you know?" Wei Chen asked, gesturing toward the opposite side of the valley where the beast tide had come from.

This was one of the main reasons why some King Beasts believed attacking human settlements was worthwhile. It was common knowledge that King Beasts required some kind of supplement to push their cultivation to the next level.

Rare heavenly herbs and treasures of Heaven and Earth were incredibly scarce. Some King Beasts spent their entire lives searching for one and never found it.

But for beasts, there was one supplement that was both abundant and easy to obtain.

The flesh and blood of human cultivators.

That was why many King Beasts that were too lazy to search for heavenly treasures, or simply held grudges against humanity, preferred attacking human settlements instead of wasting years searching for treasures of Heaven and Earth.

Besides, even if their bloodline specifically required heavenly treasures...

They would still attack human settlements.

After all, what place gathered more treasures of Heaven and Earth than a large human city?

From their perspective, it was a worthwhile investment of time and a calculated risk.

But... the problem was...

Most of the time...

Those King Beasts were terrible at math.

Hearing Wei Chen, the Heaven Devouring Tiger spoke in proud fury.

"Conan? You ant! My name is Heaven Devouring Tiger! You may call me Da Tian Hu, the Heaven Conqueror! From this moment onward, this name shall be renowned throughout the land! Remember it!" Da Tian Hu declared, raising a hand as though issuing a heavenly decree.

Seeing the grand display, Wei Chen couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. So... can you just... get lost? Or... I don’t know, go declare your superiority somewhere else?" Wei Chen replied casually, showing neither fear nor reverence.

Seeing that the human before him showed no respect whatsoever, Da Tian Hu’s anger flared once again.

This human, who had beaten him into the ground only moments ago, was now clearly weaker than him.

He had already ascended to the Early Stage Pseudo Immortal Realm, yet somehow the laws of Heaven and Earth had not forced him to ascend. Perhaps his evolved bloodline possessed the ability to deceive the laws of Heaven and Earth themselves.

Maybe this was the true reason his species had been hunted to near extinction in the Lower Realm.

If his race had not been culled...

Who else could have become the emperor of this Lower Realm besides his own kind?

Then...

Since no one could stop him, he would pursue his ambition.

And it would begin with this human city.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You imbecile! I would be a fool to retreat! The first step of my conquest begins here! With this damned city!"

"Ugh... for f*ck’s sake. Why is it always like this?" Wei Chen rolled his eyes as he prepared to fight this idiot.

He genuinely didn’t want to fight, because ending this battle would most likely require killing the guy.

And that was where things became troublesome with his current job.

It was perfectly fine to kill fierce beasts that lacked a strong sense of self and acted primarily on instinct.

He had already asked Ms. Youqi about this during his downtime while traveling here.

Although the Underworld currently had difficulty processing extremely powerful souls or handling a massive influx of souls, those limitations only applied to intelligent lifeforms that possessed a sufficiently developed sense of self.

Such as humans, or high-level spirit and fierce beasts that had gained the ability to transform into human form.

Ordinary spirit beasts and fierce beasts did not fall into that category.

That was because beasts without a strong sense of self were easy to process. The Underworld would just let their souls simply flow through the River of Souls toward the Wheel of Samsara, where they were naturally recycled and returned to the cycle of reincarnation once again.

The same could not be said for humans and spirit beasts that had gained the ability to transform into human form.

The stronger the individual, the more difficult it was for their soul to be processed. Some exceptionally powerful souls could even cause trouble in the Underworld.

At that moment, the Heaven Devouring Tiger exploded toward Wei Chen like a crimson meteor. Every muscle in his towering body swelled with explosive power as he drew back his fist.

"Die, ant!"

BOOM!

The punch crashed into Wei Chen’s crossed arms.

The impact detonated like thunder, sending a violent shockwave across the battlefield. Wei Chen was blasted backward, his feet grinding across the earth as they carved two long trenches through solid stone before he barely managed to stabilize himself.

But Da Tian Hu gave him no time to recover.

He was already upon him.

Another punch had arrived.

Then another.

And another.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

His fists came down like a relentless storm, each strike carrying enough force to shatter mountains. They rained upon Wei Chen from every direction without pause, leaving not even the slightest opening to breathe.

Wei Chen could only raise his arms and guard.

Every successful block sent another violent tremor through his body. His arms ached as though they were being struck repeatedly by baseball bats from his previous life.

Every collision forced him another step backward.

His arms grew numb.

His bones trembled from the repeated impacts.

The ground beneath his feet cracked apart under the overwhelming force.

The barrage was endless, leaving Wei Chen no room to counterattack. It certainly looked that way as he gritted his teeth.

Seeing his opponent forced into such a disadvantage, Da Tian Hu’s confidence soared.

And confidence quickly turned into arrogance.

The tiger’s fists flowed one after another without interruption, chaining together with savage precision. Whenever Wei Chen tried to shift his stance or lower a hand to retaliate, another punch was already crashing toward his head, ribs, or abdomen.

Wei Chen seemed to have no choice but to continue defending.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The rain of fists grew even more violent.

Then...

Wei Chen’s attention drifted for the briefest instant for some reason, as though a random thought had suddenly crossed his mind.

Da Tian Hu’s eyes flashed, and his savage grin widened.

He had been waiting for exactly this moment.

Without hesitation, he pivoted and swept Wei Chen’s legs out from beneath him.

The tremendous force shattered the ground beneath Wei Chen’s footing, sending him crashing onto his back.

Even as he fell, Wei Chen instinctively kept both forearms crossed over his face and chest.

"Hahahaha! Fool! A cultivator should protect their dantian with their life!"

Da Tian Hu roared with savage laughter before gathering all of his strength into a single devastating punch and driving it straight toward Wei Chen’s dantian.

Then...

A smile unconsciously appeared on Wei Chen’s face.

Da Tian Hu was confused at first.

Had he beaten this human so badly that he had knocked a few screws loose? Why was he smiling while his own dantian was being destroyed?

Then...

It dawned on him.

He finally understood why.

A powerful suction force was drawing his spiritual qi through his fist. The point where his fist connected with the human’s dantian felt as though it had been welded together.

Da Tian Hu immediately tried to pull his fist free with all his strength, but the suction force behaved like a living creature. It clung to him even more tightly, like a snake constricting its prey harder the more the prey struggled.

His spiritual qi refused to obey him.

It was being drained through his fist, and he could clearly feel it.

His strength...

Was being drained away.

He was growing weaker with every passing second.

He quickly used his free left hand to pull his right fist away, but it was useless. The suction force even began draining his power through the point where his left hand made contact.

He watched in horror as his human skin began to change.

His muscles started to distort.

Fur...

The fur he had possessed as a beast began to grow back.

It was as though he was devolving.

"ARRRRRRGGHHHH!"

Da Tian Hu roared toward the heavens, hoping they would bestow upon him another miracle.

Another opportunity to survive this ordeal.

— Meanwhile - Immortal Realm —

Within the Fate Weaving Sovereign’s Immortal Cave...

The Fate Weaving Sovereign himself was in shock.

A shock that challenged everything he knew.

What was this man’s dantian made of?

Even if that hadn’t been a full-power punch, it still possessed enough force to punch through a mountain.

A soft and fragile dantian should never have been able to withstand a direct strike like that.
