As he coughed up blood, Chen Mu's vision darkened. Because the backlash was too great, and because he was so angry, his head tilted to the side, and he fainted.
At the same time Chen Mu fainted, everyone on the battlefield in the new city, including Wang Baole, stared at the gigantic python with gaping mouths. Even though they knew that Wang Baole's donkey had become the leader, the giant python had been too ferocious, and everyone was still incredibly wary of it.
As everyone watched warily and cautiously, and as Wang Baole calmed his breathing, the body of the giant python, which had been taken over by the donkey, suddenly shuddered. Its body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and as it continued to condense, the giant python's form disappeared, and it became smaller and smaller …
In the end … four legs appeared. The giant python's head also shrank and became slightly longer. This process lasted for about twenty breaths, and then the giant python completely disappeared. What appeared before everyone's eyes was … the donkey!
The donkey shuddered, and a look of clarity appeared in its eyes. It lowered its head to inspect its body, and there was a hint of confusion in its eyes. It was as if everything that had happened just now was just a dream to it, and now that it had woken up, it was still not used to it. That was especially so when it noticed that so many people were looking at it strangely. Its eyes instantly widened, and in a flash, it appeared next to Wang Baole. While it was on guard, it quickly put on an innocent look and looked at Wang Baole. In fact, to please him, it even used its head to gently nudge Wang Baole's calf.
It looked as if … it was very obedient and did not want to eat it.
Wang Baole instinctively wanted to kick the donkey, but then he thought about how terrifying the python was, and hesitated …. He was afraid that if he kicked the donkey, it would transform.
"This donkey isn't bad," Wang Baole thought, trying to console himself. "I can't keep hitting it. It's not that I'm a coward …." Wang Baole tried to console himself, but his heart was still filled with nausea. The donkey was like a bird gun transformed into a cannon. It was different from before, and Wang Baole was worried that if he continued to beat it, he would end up being abused. Furthermore, his Cultivation base was only at the great circle of Foundation Establishment, whereas the python was at the great circle of Core Formation. The difference between them made Wang Baole feel like he really was a son ….
Even as Wang Baole was feeling depressed, the people around him were still on guard. That was especially true of the people who had lost their companions to the python. Their hearts were filled with complex emotions. As for the donkey, it was even more nervous than before. It could sense the killing intent in the eyes of the people around him. Furthermore, it could sense that its master wasn't kicking it, which was a rare occurrence.
The donkey's young heart began to tremble, and an intense sensation of deadly crisis filled its eyes. It thought back to how Wang Baole had repeatedly said that he wanted to kill it. Suddenly, the donkey started to get nervous. It did its utmost to curry favor with Wang Baole. It even stuck its tongue out to lick Wang Baole's hand ….
Being licked by the donkey irritated Wang Baole. Perhaps it was because the donkey was so nervous and scared that it began to drool. It licked Wang Baole's hand until it was wet. Wang Baole instinctively glared at the donkey. Unable to control himself, he kicked the donkey out of habit.
At the same time, Wang Baole suddenly realized what he was doing. He wanted to pull his foot back, but the donkey's eyes glittered, and it suddenly moved with explosive speed …. Instead of dodging, it charged forward to meet the kick. Wang Baole's foot sent it tumbling off into the distance.
A strange expression appeared on Wang Baole's face, and the donkey seemed to relax a bit. As far as it was concerned, as long as it could take a beating, then everything would be fine. Feeling very happy, it began to hop around and call out happily.
"Son! Son!! "
Wang Baole's heart softened when he heard the donkey's cries. However, he had long since noticed the complicated killing intent in the eyes of some of the surrounding Cultivators. He knew that the donkey was the target of their hatred. Although it had nothing to do with the donkey, it was clear that people's anger was something that couldn't be dispelled.
That was especially true of the ferocity of the python form. The fear of the onlookers, and the obedience of the donkey, made it even easier for people to vent their anger on the donkey.
Therefore, Wang Baole's mind raced as he took a step forward. He was right in front of the donkey, kicking it again and roaring.
"You know how to bark? Huh? "
The donkey let out a miserable shriek. Although it didn't hurt, it was instinctive to shriek. However, as soon as it finished shrieking, Wang Baole stepped forward, grabbed its ears, and began to beat it again.
The donkey shuddered, feeling that something was wrong. It wanted to struggle, but Wang Baole quickly gave it a look.
"Although you're innocent and were swallowed by the python, you're still a victim. How dare you bark when everyone is so sad?!" Wang Baole roared angrily and began to punch and kick the donkey. He wasn't faking it, he was really beating it.
The donkey felt wronged, but when it noticed Wang Baole's look, it seemed to understand something. It began to shriek with all its might, and even began to whimper for mercy.
"It's no use begging for mercy. Although you contributed the most to this matter, and if it weren't for you, everyone would have been finished, I'm still going to beat you!
"Also, although you've successfully taken control of the situation, resolved the new city's crisis, and saved all of our lives, I still have to teach you a lesson!" As Wang Baole beat the donkey, he kept an eye on the expressions of the people around him. The donkey finally reacted, and its shrieks became even more miserable. It looked extremely miserable.
This scene stunned everyone once again. Their expressions gradually turned strange. They naturally saw the intention of Wang Baole's actions. Clearly, he was indirectly telling everyone that this matter had nothing to do with the donkey. In fact, the donkey had contributed greatly and saved everyone.
And he had already taught the donkey a lesson, so they shouldn't vent their anger on someone who didn't know right from wrong … This wasn't a hint, but a direct statement. Those who had lost their companions fell silent and sighed in their hearts.
After noticing the expressions of these people, Wang Baole finally relaxed. However, he had to complete the act. Therefore, after another kick, he gave the donkey another look. Then, he raised his right hand, and his Dharmic Armament sword instantly appeared in his hand. He grabbed the donkey's head with one hand and the sword with the other and roared.
"Fellow Daoists, even if this donkey saved our lives, even if it was also a victim, the python had swallowed too many cultivators. I have to vent my anger on this innocent donkey and avenge them!"
As soon as Wang Baole said that, Lin Tianhao's expression became extremely solemn. He suddenly stepped forward and spoke loudly.
"City Lord, you can't do this. This donkey is innocent. We can't vent our anger on it!"
The people from the four major Dao Colleges also had strange expressions on their faces. They all stepped forward and tried to stop Wang Baole. Kongdao sighed and also said a few words. Even though everyone knew that this was just an act, they also understood Wang Baole's intentions.
In the end, Kim Do-myung laughed bitterly. He knew that Wang Baole's actions were largely because of him. However, Kim Do-myung wasn't the kind of person who couldn't tell right from wrong. Therefore, he spoke solemnly.
"Baole, you can't blame it for this. The donkey has done a great service!"
As soon as Kim Do-myung said that, the Core Formation realm cultivators beside him also took a deep breath. They looked at the donkey with deep emotions.
"This donkey is extraordinary. After it was fused, it was able to break free from the puppet's control and even bite the puppet to take the initiative. This is equivalent to making all the mastermind's plans go down the drain and helping the donkey instead!"
"It looks like it's still at the Foundation Establishment realm, but who knows when it will transform. Once it transforms into a giant python, it will be … at the perfected Core Formation realm!" As he spoke, the Core Formation realm cultivator looked at Wang Baole with undisguised envy in his eyes. He wasn't the only one who was envious. Everyone present felt the same way. Even if it were on Earth, President Duan Muque would definitely be envious too.
After all, this was a battle beast that could unleash the power of a perfected Core Formation realm cultivator after it transformed!
Everyone could even imagine that Wang Baole's donkey was already very valuable. After this news spread, its value would probably increase exponentially …
"This is an expert!" Lin Tianhao gasped and quickly exclaimed.
"This is too amazing!" Kim Do-myung finally reacted. As he muttered to himself, his eyes lit up. He was thinking about discussing with Wang Baole to see if there was a chance to buy this expert donkey.
