Headless Immortal

Chapter 5 Tiger Fight
'General?'

'who? ’

'cat! '

Master Song and his servants were completely dumbfounded.

The maids and nannies surrounding them were all stunned.

The raccoon perched on the roof looked in the direction of the sword tip, then a mocking expression appeared on its lips.

It still remembers rushing out the door and scaring the old cat to death.

Even with the Taoist's magical power, this timid, lame cat could only cleanse its stomach like a mouse and obediently offer itself up for the Taoist to feast on.

took a glance.

Sure enough, livestock are livestock; they were too scared to move when they smelled their own odor.

Lu Xun was paying attention to the changes in his body.

[Blessed by a high-ranking priest of the Lushan sect]

[Spell: Cat Walk (Moonlight)]

……

call out!
Keng.

The thrown sword struck the tiles, splashing sand and dirt.

The raccoon that was squatting there has disappeared.

There were many things its little head couldn't understand, but it knew that the Taoist priest had run out of tricks.

He took a deep look at the side room.

It will come back again.

"Master, letting it go will cause endless trouble!"

Master Song was truly panicked.

He had received some education in his early years and knew about the tragedies of people who escaped from their enemies only to have their entire families wiped out.

You can't guard against thieves forever. The high-ranking officials of Lushan Road will eventually leave. The Song family can't move their entire clan here. The whole clan is here, young and old, in one big village.

The Taoist priest in the yellow robe shook his head regretfully.

How could he possibly expect an old cat to 'come back to life'? Everything just now was to distract the raccoon so that he could throw the sword.

"Wait until I return to the mountain and gather my troops..."

The raccoon turned to leave.

Master Song opened his mouth, not knowing how to express himself, and could only cover his face and weep.

The servants and attendants were filled with panic and fear.

……

"Ow!"

A loud sound pierced the darkness.

The tabby cat arched its back, its fur bristling, baring its teeth and glaring angrily.

On the other side, the three-legged old cat was retracting its claws.

The raccoon was furious.

It never expected that this old, dying livestock would actually dare to attack it.

Lu Xun, who had leaped back, shook his claws, which he was not used to. A few drops of blood remained in the gaps. His golden beast eyes stared intently at the calico raccoon, and he grinned silently. His sharp fangs gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

It didn't have its fur standing on end, nor did it have the arched back of an ordinary tabby cat; instead, it resembled a tiger strolling leisurely.

"Cripple?"

"Lame cat?"

"I've tolerated you for a long time!"

All I can say is how I act like a cat.

A fierce red slowly filled the beast's eyes, and Lu Xun, who was walking not far from the raccoon, stared intently at the raccoon.

"Squeak!"

The raccoon licked its wounds, its eyes radiating even greater ferocity.

As a pure beast, it could not tolerate the lame cat's bloody provocation.

"Ouch!"

Two hoarse yet loud sounds collided violently, and at the same time, the black cat and the tabby cat were completely embracing each other.

……

Nobody expects an old cat to make a move.

They all understood that the Taoist priest's so-called "Great General" was just a facade, and the sword that flew out later was the real killing move, but unfortunately it failed to achieve its purpose.

However, to everyone's surprise, the family's pet cat pounced on it and fought with the raccoon like a wild beast.

"Quick, pick up the net again!"

The Taoist priest saw the two cats fighting and quickly gave instructions.

Master Song came to his senses: "Yes, yes, pick up the net and help with the kicking."

The servants brought a ladder and placed it against the wall, and torches illuminated the sky.

Chunlei spotted the sword on the eaves and whispered, "Master, the black cat can't beat it; it can even talk now."

The yellow-robed Taoist looked at his disciple and explained, "This beast is very cunning. You thought it could talk, but it's just an illusion. It urinated into the well earlier, and we all drank cat urine before falling for its trick. Just now, I broke its illusion. Do you see if it can still talk?"

"If we really encounter a powerful demon who can speak human language without using any magic, then you and I, master and disciple, will have to reunite in the demon's stomach."

……

Lu Xun had never been a cat, but even if he hadn't eaten pork, he'd at least seen a pig run.

Big cats don't have many fancy moves when they fight, nor do they follow any set routines. They just rush up, grab the tabby's neck, and throw it. The tabby is clearly from the wild and is more skilled in fighting than Lu Xun. The tabby actually takes advantage of the situation and crawls into his arms, aiming for his fur-covered neck.

Lu Xun kicked the raccoon away, took the high position, and punched it in the head with his cat fist.

Bang bang bang.

The three tasks were completed in one go.

Having gained an advantage, Lu Xun leaped away, trying to create distance.

"Woo-waaa!" The raccoon, having suffered a loss, charged forward fiercely to close the distance. Its airplane ears were pressed against its head, and the cat was as swift as a leopard. Taking three punches instead stirred up blood. In close combat, it grabbed the black cat Lu Xun with both arms, lowered its head and traced its neck, and opened its mouth wide to end the fight completely.

"bite!"

Lu Xun, the black cat, directly stuffed his paw into the raccoon's mouth.

The cat's fur, along with its sinews and sharp claws, gave the raccoon a thorough examination of its throat.

"vomit……"

"Woo-wa-wa-meow..."

Lu Xun didn't care what was in front of him. He bit down and tore at it, hanging his whole body directly on the raccoon's body. He used a death roll while slamming it down.

Its feet weren't idle either, frantically clearing space between itself and the raccoon while striking the raccoon's belly hard, tearing out large patches of its colorful fur.

Pooh!
Lu Xun spat out clumps of cat hair.

He was also injured; the cat's claws that had stabbed him had torn two bloody gashes, leaving his skin and flesh exposed.

The tabby cat was already formidable; in terms of size, it was even a few inches longer than Lu Xun, who was only a three-legged cat, and looked just like a small leopard.

Even though Lu Xun had the upper hand and possessed agile movements and human consciousness, he was still no match for his opponent. His stomach, armpits, and most severely injured arm were all stained with blood.

The two cats looked at each other and paced back and forth.

Those that are close enough to be touched by reaching out one's hand.

"Meow!"

The tabby cat bared its teeth, its mouth uttering something that was unclear—whether it was a curse or something else entirely.

The raccoon, seizing the opportunity, pounced on the cat again.

"Meow!"

The two cats resumed their cuddling posture.

The two heads were locked in a struggle, each searching for an opening. Lu Xun was caught off guard when the raccoon crawled under his armpit and bit his wound. Despite the pain, he didn't cry out but tried to bite back. However, the armpit was an awkward spot, as his injured front paws were positioned above him, preventing him from lowering his head to search for the raccoon's neck.

Lu Xun could clearly feel the raccoon's fangs probing upwards along the wound, and it wouldn't be long before it bit his neck.

……

The servants, holding a large net, surrounded the two cats fighting with the tiger.

Seeing that Sanjiao was losing, Master Song hurriedly directed from the courtyard, "Go! Go quickly!"

"superior."

"Surround them."

Lu Xun held off the tabby cat with all his might.

To cure this armbar-like posture, he must go all out, otherwise it will be a slow death.

With a quick glance, Jin Tong realized that the eaves were at least three zhang above the ground.

Another fleeting glimpse.

A familiar-looking boy rushed closer.

Despite Chunlei's young age of only thirteen or fourteen, and his earlier fright at the elegantly dressed young man, he was less cautious once he climbed onto the roof. Seeing that the black cat was about to lose, he delivered a powerful flying kick.

Although it missed, the tabby cat that had bitten the black cat released its grip and dodged away.

"Cat, go away!"

The black cat leaped up.

The moon suddenly twisted into a strange posture in mid-air, moving as fast as a black lightning bolt.

"Meow!"

The cat was hanging upside down.

With arms wrapped around the civet's neck, and legs braced against the civet's head.

The raccoon's first instinct was to shrink its neck, but with its neck clamped and its head being pushed against it, how could it possibly pull back its vital neck? After the thought crossed its mind, it simply opened its mouth wide, revealing its fangs.

Since it can't be shrunk back, it might as well tear open the black cat's belly.

Before it could even bite, the cat tensed up.

Sharp fangs had pierced its neck and were biting it tightly, blood and gas gushing out from the gap.

The raccoon, having lost all its strength, could no longer stand.

clack.

The black cat landed.

He was still carrying the limp, twitching raccoon in his mouth.

The silver gauze, cascading down, is as cold as frost.

Under the moonlight, the black tiger's golden eyes widened as it forcefully restrained the struggling raccoon.

The tanuki is finally dead!

The blessing ceremony performed by the high-ranking priest of the Lushan Sect has been completed.

[Acrostic Skill: Cat Walk (Moonlight)]

[Should I devour the skull of the Five Gods 'Flower Fox'?]

"Yes."

The three-legged cat's skull devoured the 'Flower Fox' of the Five Gods.
