Chapter 15: Great Desire

Ah!!

Upon seeing the demonic cat, as well as the blood staining its sharp claws and head, several people on the bus couldn't contain their fear and let out piercing screams.

Their screams instantly attracted the demonic cat's attention.

The demonic cat hadn't originally been heading to the bus, but when it heard the screams, it changed directions and dashed their way. With a pounce spanning more than ten meters, it came straight toward the bus that had more than a dozen people on board.

"Close the windows! Close the windows! Quickly close the windows!" the driver yelled.

On bus rides that headed to villages, people usually liked to keep the windows open so they could enjoy the breeze as well as ventilate the vehicle.

The bus's windows were so big that an adult would be able to jump right through them if they wanted, so it wouldn't be an issue for the 1.6-meter tall demonic cat, who was also more slender than a human, to do so.

If the demonic cat were to get in...!

Li Yunyao's face turned pale from fright. "Brother!"

Lin Xiaolu was frozen on the spot, her eyes wide open. She didn't move an inch.

Li Pin did a quick calculation. "There's not enough time."

Judging by how fast the demonic cat was approaching, they didn't have enough time to close all the bus windows.

He couldn't let this demonic cat get into the bus. He knew that even he couldn't guarantee the safety of Li Yunyao and Lin Xiaolu amid a chaotic battle.

He also couldn't take the initiative to dash out of the bus to engage in physical combat with the demonic cat in the wilderness.

Aura Force masters were only capable of fighting the most ordinary of demonic beasts. Theoretically speaking, only Astral Cultivators could suppress and demolish them with overwhelming power yet not suffer any injuries themselves.

Judging by the demonic cat's agility... it could probably toy with even Core Force experts to death.

If that's the case... there is only one way out.

The only way was to seize the moment to deal it a crushing blow with the help of the vehicle's unique construction to kill it when it climbed into the bus through the windows

"Sit tight," Li Pin called out in a low bellow.

His gaze was locked on the demonic cat.

A monstrous being with sharp claws that could easily tear apart tigers and leopards alive wasn't something you'd be able to see back on the Blue Planet. It simply didn't exist back there.

Li Pin gathered his energy to its greatest limits.

Even though he had experienced numerous life-and-death battles back on the Blue Planet, Li Pin still felt adrenaline pump through his body crazily right this moment. An unspeakable feeling surged through his entire body.

Nervousness!

Shock!

Fear!

And...

Excitement!

Meow!

Just as this demonic cat leaped up, Li Pin made a move.

He had visualized this image long ago, an ancient ferocious beast, roaring to the skies, unleashing a deafening aura. Li Pin felt as though a blazing fire was burning in his heart. His qi and blood boiled and sent force to every corner of his body rapidly.

The demonic cat was currently pouncing through one of the windows. However, Li Pin didn't give it a chance to get fully inside. He stomped heavily on the floor, causing the bus to tremor violently.

As the vehicle shook, Li Pin seemed to have transformed into a ferocious beast that was even more terrifying than the demonic cat. He boldly faced the demonic cat that was plunging into the bus.

He channeled his strength through his thighs and waist, passing through many parts of his body before finally collating in his arms. That force finally transformed into a Fist Force that broke the air.

Everyone on the bus seemed to have seen Li Pin catch on fire. This fire was burning fiercely, and it seemed as though it was going to incinerate everything around it.

Eight Enormities True Fire Force!

Taowu!

Meow!

The demonic cat instantly sensed a great danger.

The demonic cat, which wasn't as muscular as a human, turned and wriggled at an incredible speed. It managed to turn around at that critical moment before sending its claws, which were as sharp as steel daggers, smacking toward Li Pin's head.

Li Pin's countenance, however, did not change at all.

When a martial artist threw a punch, he'd follow through with the attack till the end, pushing forward relentlessly.

This punch didn't just contain his Force and qi and blood, but it also contained his spirit and vitality, all condensed into one.

At this moment, other than trusting in his own body and Fist Force, he would not have any other thoughts.

He was not going to be shaken by any external force. His mind was clear. There was nothing in his mind but one single thought—

I am invincible!

Boom!

Crack!

Muffled thunderous booms and the sound of bones breaking rang out.

The demonic cat, who hadn't had time to land after dashing onto the bus, seemed to have been struck by a giant hammer. Its fur rippled out, and its frame bent unnaturally. The inertia brought by the impact sent the demonic cat hurtling backward.

As it was sent flying from the Fist Force, the demonic cat's dagger-like claws came tearing down. They closely brushed past Li Pin's cheek before moving further and further away.

The sharp claws even left three faint bloody marks on Li Pin's face.

If Li Pin had even hesitated ever so slightly with this Fist Force, the demonic cat's claws would've directly torn his head apart.

Li Pin didn't feel any lingering fear from the incident, and there was no thankfulness.

Li Pin, who had blown the demonic cat away, felt a clear and unfathomable feeling well up in his heart, a feeling he had never experienced till now.

Amidst this feeling, it was as though he could feel every corner of his body cheering. Every cell was transmitting a sense of joy in him.

They were telling him...

This is the true meaning of cultivation.

This is the great desire of life.

Under the urging of this great desire, in this state where his body was cheering, his spirit and vitality were released indulgently. Li Pin felt as though a blazing fire was burning in his heart.

With barely any pause on his feet, he sent his Force erupting again.

Li Pin shot forth as though released from a spring, chasing fiercely after the demonic cat that had been blasted out of the window. There was no way that the demonic cat would have died so easily.

He darted out at rapid speed.

Li Pin was as flexible as a cobra. He felt like his body could stretch out to his heart's content.

Furthermore, when Li Pin flew out of the window, he was like a huge snake riding the wind, seemingly about to soar into the clouds and fog, straight into the sky.

Eight Enormities True Fire Force!

Tengshe!

[1]

Li Pin didn't care that his arm had turned slightly red. The moment the demonic cat was blown away, he was like a giant snake soaring into the air, adjusting his Force to its limits.

Then, with his body hovering in the air, he carried the momentum from gravity pulling him down and struck down like an eagle.

The demonic cat that had been sent flying out let out an ear-piercing scream. It seemed to be wanting to put up a struggle and leave this place. However, Li Pin's spirit and vitality were locked onto it. Li Pin's gaze seemed to have pierced right through its body structure.

In the end, the demonic cat could only watch as Li Pin pounced toward it. Li Pin condensed all of his Force into his fist and unleashed a blast at the demonic cat, right at the same spot his Force had struck it previously.

Boom!

The penetrating force shattered the demonic cat's internal organs and bones.

The punch made the demonic cat's already hurtling body accelerate further down before it smashed heavily into the ground.

A cloud of dust flew up above the solid concrete road.

The demonic cat didn't have any time to catch its breath, react, or even... struggle in pain.

Li Pin didn't pause for even a moment. Following the fall, he lifted his right foot, aimed at the demonic cat's head, then heavily stomped down on it.

Crack!

Pffft!

Bones shattered! Blood splattered!

The demonic cat's skull was smashed open, leaving nothing but a bloody mess.

Despite how tenacious the demonic cat's vitality was, its frame convulsed as it gradually lost its life.
