Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Revealing One’s True Form
Huang Xiaolong and Feng Hanyan passed through the wall and saw Long Wu.
At that moment, Long Wu was sitting opposite Su Xiaoman, with Ma Chuxia in an invisible state. However, Huang Xiaolong could see her, holding a talisman, ready for confrontation.
Long Wu, to their surprise, appeared as a very handsome young man. Nonetheless, his complexion was somewhat pale, like a vampire, with greed that he could not suppress gleaming in his eyes.
“Hmm?” The instant Huang Xiaolong saw Long Wu, a deep look of shock and suspicion flashed across his eyes, and he murmured to himself in bewilderment… ‘So that’s how it is…’
Without a sound, Huang Xiaolong, leading Feng Hanyan, sat down next to Su Xiaoman.
Long Wu, astonishingly, did not notice them at all.
However, they saw that the dining table was devoid of any utensils or food.
“Long… Mister Long Wu, what would you like me to eat?” Su Xiaoman asked with a trembling voice.
“Hehe~~ Beautiful Miss Su Xiaoman, I am a foodie, and I have unique insights into gourmet food…” Long Wu fixed his gaze on Su Xiaoman, swallowing saliva with gulping sounds, “In fact, the most delicious way to eat in the world is — to eat raw! Gagaga~~~ It keeps the meat fresh and tender to the greatest extent. Biting into it, tsk tsk~~~”
While he spoke, droplets of drool splattered from Long Wu’s mouth, his whole body trembling with excitement.
“Mister Long Wu… what exactly are you planning to do? You… don’t you dare cause trouble!” At this moment, Su Xiaoman was both scared and angry at Long Wu; scared because of Long Wu’s evil gaze and the strange demonic aura emanating from him, angry because he had plotted against her cousin!
“Hahahahaha~~~ Miss Su Xiaoman, I’m going to eat you!” Finally, the malevolent nature of Long Wu was laid bare.
“Those who receive Water Moon Cave Heaven’s invitation to savor gourmet food are themselves the food… They are my, Long Wu’s, gourmet food! Kekekeke~~ Miss Su Xiaoman, I see your skin is tender and soft, I’m sure you will be very comfortable to eat… very delicious indeed…”
Just then—
“Cough cough~~ You monster, you really have quite the nerve, causing a ruckus in the human world… Are you tired of living?”
In the private room, Huang Xiaolong’s voice, filled with mocking and sarcasm, rang out coldly.
“Who is it?” Long Wu’s face abruptly changed.
As the air fluctuated, Huang Xiaolong’s body gradually became visible, “Taotie, in legend, is the fifth son of the dragon, a ferocious beast known for its gluttony, so greedy that it even devours its own body, leaving it with only a head and no body. Later, the Taotie found a sheep to replace its own body…”
As his voice fell, Huang Xiaolong’s invisibility ceased, and he nonchalantly appeared beside Su Xiaoman. However, Huang Xiaolong signaled Feng Hanyan and Ma Chuxia to remain unseen for the moment.
“Oh? A Taoist?” A cold light flashed across Long Wu’s face as he spoke with a chilling voice, “You can become invisible… not bad, your Taoist magic is quite impressive… However, since you know my true form is the Taotie, do you still dare to show yourself? Ah~~~ I understand, you must want the great Taotie to taste you… Good! As you wish, I accept! I’ll savor eating you slowly… Gagaga~~~”
Long Wu’s gaze towards Huang Xiaolong grew increasingly greedy, saliva flowing freely.
“You must have eaten quite a few humans, haven’t you?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Ah! Yes, eating humans does become addictive…” Long Wu nodded earnestly. “I’ve eaten many humans, tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? I can’t remember… And I’ll keep eating… Human flesh is too tasty!”
“Sigh~~~” Huang Xiaolong suddenly heaved a sigh, “Originally, I thought I would be in for quite some fun tonight… to fight against a great Taotie demon, but now, I’m quite disappointed…”
“Outrageous!” Long Wu roared in rage at his words, “Are you saying I’m not the great Taotie?”
“You are the Taotie, but you’re not a true great demon,” Huang Xiaolong said with a taunting smile. “That is to say, you’ve yet to cultivate into a human form. You are merely covered in a human skin. Moreover, you should be a young Taotie.”
Only true demons that have cultivated into human form can be called great demons, possessing boundless demonic magic.
However, as soon as Huang Xiaolong entered the private room, he realized that this Long Wu had not actually cultivated into human form at all. Its ability to pass through the crowd in human guise was nothing more than a facade of human skin!
“You seem to know quite a bit!” A red glint flashed in Long Wu’s eyes. “But what of it? You’re still going to die! Become my meal! Die!”
Huang Xiaolong’s words seemed to have hit a nerve, and Long Wu, enraged, couldn’t help but make a move on Huang Xiaolong.
From Long Wu’s throat came a piercing and savage roar. In the next second, its right fist was already hurtling towards Huang Xiaolong’s head.
Boom~~~!!!!
This punch was like mountains rolling down, crushing everything in their path to smithereens.
The force of the punch lifted the dining table, causing it to explode in midair and shatter into powder!
Hum~~~
Under the might of Long Wu’s punch, the amulet inside Su Xiaoman released fluctuations of Taoist power, forming symbols and characters on her skin that swirled and danced.
“Let’s fall back, let’s not hold Xiaolong back~~” In an instant, Ma Chuxia and Feng Hanyan revealed themselves. Ma Chuxia grabbed Su Xiaoman, ready to retreat explosively out of the private room.
“Demon, take my sword!” Feng Hanyan raised her right palm, and gathering all her strength, unleashed a True Qi sword light that dazzled the heavens, sweeping towards Long Wu.
Pop pop pop~~~
The True Qi sword light unleashed by Feng Hanyan without reservation was actually ground into dust by Long Wu’s fist wind.
“Heh, you’ve got quite some strength, you glutton.” Huang Xiaolong smiled slightly, releasing an invisible battle intent!
The next second, Huang Xiaolong also threw a punch!
Huang Xiaolong’s punch shook the heavens, unparalleled.
Moreover, as the punch was thrown, it carried a terrifying oppression, affecting Long Wu’s spirit. At that moment, in Long Wu’s mind suddenly appeared an ancient giant as vast as the heavens and earth, swinging its fists, smashing down ferociously at itself, bearing down relentlessly as if it were unstoppable.
Bang~~~~!!!!
Fist clashed with fist!
The shrieking sound erupted, and the visible shockwave caused the entire ancient castle to collapse.
With a wave of Huang Xiaolong’s other hand, a plethora of symbols and True Qi enveloped Su Xiaoman, Feng Hanyan, and Ma Chuxia, protecting them without missing a single spot.
Boom~~~~!!!!
The castle shattered.
“Roar!!!!” Long Wu let out a miserable howl as it staggered back, its body and face developing numerous cracks!
Huang Xiaolong’s punch had nearly shattered the human skin it was wearing into pieces!
“`
Threads of dense, green demonic power seeped from the cracks in Long Wu’s body, and his eyes turned into dark green demonic eyes, incapable of showing even a trace of human emotion. “You’re not human! Nor a demon! Not even a ghost! What… what exactly are you?”
“Pfft… What if I said I’m a god, would you believe me?” Huang Xiaolong stood up, his body wrapped in True Qi and Taoist power, indeed resembling a deity straight out of a painting.
“I don’t care what you are, even if you’re a god, I’m going to eat you! You forced my hand! It’s all because of you! All right… Reveal! Your! True! Form!”
Terrible demonic power raged around Long Wu’s body as its epicenter, spiraling up defiantly towards the heavens!

Pfft~~~!
Long Wu tore off the human skin he was wearing, reducing it to dust, and a beam of green brilliance shot out of the ancient castle!
Suddenly, a vast shadow was cast above the ancient castle, obscuring even the moonlight.
The stench of the demonic power oppressively rolled in!
“Come out! I’m going to eat you! I’m going to eat you!” A brutish, throbbing voice echoed between heaven and earth.
“Tsch~~ A demon that hasn’t cultivated into a human form is nothing special,” Huang Xiaolong said with disdainful sneer, then turned back to Su Xiaoman and the others. “Sister Xiaoman, my little wife, Miss Hanyan, just wait here a moment, I’ll go out and deal with this Taotie then get back to you!”
No sooner had he finished speaking, Huang Xiaolong threw out a talisman amulet. The amulet, catching the wind, expanded to the size of a mattress. Huang Xiaolong leaped onto it and with a thought, the talisman flew out.
In the night sky, fierce flames burned, and within the fire, a massive beast observed Huang Xiaolong with a cold and brutal gaze.
This ferocious creature was the spitting image of the one in the oil painting in the grand hall of the ancient castle, approximately thirty feet long—about ten meters—with a body covered in black hair resembling a mountain goat, a lion-like head, a gaping maw, long horns atop its head, and a pair of huge eyes under its armpits that ceaselessly moved.
“Hmm, I finally get to see a real Taotie. According to legend, ‘In the extreme south of Shenzhou, resides a malevolent beast, black-skinned with four eyes, its long neck and four legs carrying its vicious nature. Consumed by gluttony, it moves as swiftly as the wind, bringing calamity.’ That must be you,” Huang Xiaolong said, his interest piqued.
Luckily, this Shuiyue Cave Heaven was built in a remote suburban area; otherwise, if Long Wu had revealed his true form in a populous area, it would have surely terrified many to death.
“Foolish thing! Prepare yourself to become a meal for the great Taotie!” the Taotie spoke in the human tongue.
“Don’t kid yourself, you little juvenile…” There was an indescribable mockery in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes. “It’s said that a fully mature Taotie can be dozens of feet long, casting shadows over the sky. But look at you? Hahaha~~ little guy, you really are just a little guy. Actually, I’m a person who really cares about small animals, but since you’ve eaten so many people, I can’t just let you off ~~”
“Nonsense! The true form of the great Taotie can crush any creature! No matter what you are, today, I have you in my sights!” The Taotie extended its crimson tongue, saliva falling like a waterfall.
“Actually, there are many ways I could deal with you…” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “Even though the Taotie is a son of the dragon, it happens to be the most useless, the most disappointing child of the dragon… that’s why the dragon clan expelled the Taotie long ago. It’s well known that Taotie are naturally terrified of dragons.”
“You… you…” The Taotie was staggered, not believing that Huang Xiaolong knew these details. “But, what of it? Dragons have long since vanished from this world, where will you find one to suppress me? It’s laughable…”
“Sorry to break it to you, a dragon? I happen to have one right here. Not sure if it can suppress a juvenile Taotie like you though,” Huang Xiaolong grinned widely.
The very next second!
Boom~~!!!!
On Huang Xiaolong’s left hand, the corpse dragon tattoo suddenly lit up, unleashing a boundless dragon might, dragon qi, along with a deep, ancient dragon chant.
“Ah!!!! No! No! A dragon… why is there a dragon…” The Taotie was struck by terror!
“`
The corpse dragon’s breath caused its entire body to tremble, and its will to fight was completely gone!
‘Heh, dragon aura and dragon might are indeed the natural enemies of Taotie. Luckily, it’s just a juvenile Taotie; otherwise, my corpse dragon’s might wouldn’t be enough to deter it…’ Huang Xiaolong chuckled.
The next second, with a composed pace, Huang Xiaolong took out a large handful of talismans from his canvas bag and casually infused them into the Taotie’s body.
It was just like the time he had fixed the dragon in the void; he repeated the technique and nailed the Taotie to the night sky, leaving it unable to struggle free.
“You! You! You Taoist… let me go! Let me go! How dare you offend the great Taotie… You… you’re too bold…” The Taotie howled, but its voice was filled with fear.
“I’ve said before, you’ve eaten so many innocent humans, your death is not a pity, and today I will… enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!” Huang Xiaolong said slowly as he walked toward the Taotie.
“Wait! Wait! Just wait! Listen to me! You can’t kill me! If my father, my father finds out you killed me, he will go mad!” the Taotie shrieked.
“Your father?” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback.
“Yes! I’m just a junior Taotie that has lived for a few thousand years… But my father is a great demon that has lived through endless ages, and he has long since cultivated a human form… I also have some brothers and sisters who have all cultivated into human form… How about that? Scared, aren’t you? No matter who you are, if you dare kill me, my father will exterminate you! My father is from the ancient mythological era, having existed since… Are you scared now? You know fear, don’t you? Hahaha~~ let me go! Let me go quickly! I won’t eat you anymore!” The Taotie threatened.
“No way? There’s a mature Taotie as well?” Huang Xiaolong was astonished. “Killing the young one would draw out the old one for revenge? Wow… that’s thrilling!”
The mighty Yin Emperor would naturally not be intimidated by threats; a mature Taotie may indeed have boundless demonic power, but the Yin Emperor was no pushover!
“Right, although this Taotie is merely in its juvenile stage and is no cause for concern, it is still an ancient fierce beast. After slaughtering it, its flesh, its soul, and even its blood, bones, and skin, can all be used to refine top-quality Magic Artifacts. I’ve struck it rich! This time I’ve truly made a fortune!” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shone brightly.
However!!!!
Suddenly!
An inspiration seized Huang Xiaolong!
“Wait~~ I… I might as well! Yes! Hahaha! I’ve got it! I’ve got it!” Huang Xiaolong was so excited that he trembled. “Taotie, since you like eating so much, today, I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be eaten!”
“You want… you want to eat me?” The Taotie felt completely irrational.
This little guy in front of me wants to eat me?
Huang Xiaolong said no more and took out his Yin Soul Tube.
Suddenly, a giant egg emerged slowly from the Yin Soul Tube!
Thud thud~~ thud thud~~ thud thud~~~
From within the eggshell, there emanated a powerful, evil, primordial, terrifying, ancient… life force!
It seemed to be incubating some supreme primordial beast that would dominate the world!
“It’s not me who wants to eat you, but… my treasure that’s going to eat you…” Huang Xiaolong said with an evil smile.
