Chapter 157: Bullfight

After speaking, Huayan actually took off the bead and handed it over.
Linyang glanced at the bead, then looked up at Huayan and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Lord Huayan. Although I am interested in this bead, no work, no pay. You should keep this bead for yourself..."
Just then, a flash of red light, the bead in Hua Yan's hand had disappeared, appearing in the small creature's two little paws. Lin Yang, unable to finish his sentence, awkwardly glanced at the small creature and then at Hua Yan.
Flower Yan has been amazed by the speed of the little beast, and after a while, she squeezed out a smile and said, "Brother Lin, since the little guy likes it, why don't you take it? As for the favor or not, it's up to you, I don't mind."
Lin Yang: "..."
This is not a careless look at all. Clearly, she wants me to owe her a favor. But since Little Beast took back the bead on his own, it means that the bead is definitely not ordinary. It doesn't matter if I owe a favor. With my current strength, the other party won't care about a favor from me.
Thinking of this, Lin Yang said, "Since Sister Hua has agreed, I will respectfully comply. I will always remember this favor and in the future, if there is a place where I can be of use, I will not refuse."
Upon hearing this, Huayan giggled and a blush appeared on her pretty face, making her look very charming. With her watery and alluring eyes fixed on Lin Yang, she said, "Little brother, I'm very happy to hear that you have such intentions. Since you have come to Lincheng, why not stay for a while longer? If you need anything, feel free to ask Qingxuan for help."
Lin Yang knew what she meant and quickly said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I am in a hurry to continue my journey. If there is nothing urgent, I will come bother you another day, Sister Hua."
Hua Yan heard this and dismissed her attendants. She then poured two cups of wine and handed one to Lin Yang, saying, "Then I wish you a smooth journey, young brother."
After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, then put down the cup and disappeared in the direction of the falling petals.
Lin Yang looked in the direction where Hua Yan disappeared, raised the wine cup, and drank the wine in the cup.
Then, Lin Yang took a step out of the Falling Flower Pavilion and looked up at the tree, which occasionally shed its flowers. He felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart and muttered to himself, "Once immersed in cultivation, where to seek the passing years? Hoping for a forever blooming flower rain, a sword to stop the slaughter and wander freely. Opening his eyes, loved ones are still nowhere to be found. In a light dream, the family is reunited and filled with joy. The road ahead is long, and the sight extends to the horizon, treading on thorns and making way for the heavens..."
Quickly, Lin Yang turned back to the entrance of the main hall and found that Yu Tian and Ding Xiang were enjoying a lavish feast. Looking at the table full of delicious food and fine wine, Lin Yang was suddenly stunned, thinking to himself, "Why are all these dishes human food? Didn't Hua Yan prepare demon beast dishes for me in the Fallen Flower Pavilion? Could it be that she wants me to taste their specialties?"
With that in mind, Lin Yang couldn't be bothered to think any further. After all, he wasn't hungry for the time being, and eating was just a habit. Seeing Ding Xiang and the others enjoying their food, Lin Yang didn't want to disturb them. So he left the entrance of the hall and headed towards the bustling commercial street known for its thriving monster business.
Before long, Lin Yang arrived in front of a tree. This tree was the tallest among the two rows of trees, and there was nothing special about it. There were many monsters on the big tree, making it very lively.
Each branch of the big tree has become a vending platform, with three to five vendors on each branch selling different items. It is seemingly a tree that resembles humans setting up stalls. Various monsters move back and forth on the big tree, selecting things they like.
On the trunk of a big tree, there are two spiraling wooden stairs. Non-flying creatures can climb up along one of the stairs. The tree is hundreds of feet high and has many branches, but there are only two spiraling stairs, one going up and one going down.
再加上有的妖兽体形较大，爬行上去速度慢上许多，这就使得这株大树上异常拥挤，可即便如此，所有的经商妖兽，还是选择在大树上做生意，不知道林城是不是有相关规定，只能在树上做生意，不管有没有，这些都和林阳没有太大关系了。
Lin Yang came to the wooden ladder that was heading upward, following behind other monsters and queuing to climb up.
At this moment, Lin Yang's arrival immediately caused discussions among the other monsters, but what they were saying were all monster sounds that Lin Yang couldn't understand at all.
"Who is this? I have never seen them before. Could it be someone who just broke through the Divine Transformation period?" A deer monster spoke, emitting a strange sound.
Next to them, a fierce bull immediately spoke, "Breaking through the Divine Transformation period is a big event. The city lord will definitely post an announcement. I didn't see any announcement board when I passed by earlier."
At this moment, a transformed demon beast, with the upper body of a man and four legs on the lower body, appeared strange. It said to the deer demon and the fierce ox that had just spoken: "This is not a demon beast from our Lin City, he is a human. I just saw Lord Qingxuan bringing him in."
"Human cultivator, how could he freely move around in the Forest City? Could it be that the Lord of the City allowed it? His strength must be formidable, otherwise, according to the rules set by the Lord, humans cannot appear in the Forest City," said a small eagle that landed nearby.
The shape-shifting man spoke up, saying, "There's a mistake here. He was invited by the city lord, but his strength isn't impressive. He's still in the True Element stage of humans and doesn't even know how to fly with Qi."
"That's not very powerful either. Why would the Lord invite a weak human here? Lieniu, you go and test him. These humans often come into our territory to kill my kind. He should be taught a lesson." said the deer monster.
Seeing this, Lie Niu hesitated and said, "But he was invited by the lord of the city. If we kill him, what if the lord blames us? I can't bear the consequences."
"You can injure him severely without killing him. At worst, we can offer him this spiritual herb to save his life," the deer demon continued.
Lienuo said, "When did you become so generous? What benefits do I get from fighting him?"
The shapeshifter said, "I have a pill here, this is refined by humans. After taking it, it can regulate your meridians. You have stayed in the True Yuan period for a long time. This pill has a high chance of helping you reach the Qi-control period. By then, you will no longer be Lienuo, you will be the Flying Bull."
Lieniu was immediately moved by his words and said, "You said it, so be it. Everyone, bear witness to this."
The shapeshifting man said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't dare deceive you in front of everyone."
"Good," Lie Niú said, instantly turning his bull head around, both of his horns pointing towards Lin Yang, emitting angry sounds from his nostrils, while his four hooves kicked back and forth on the wooden stairs.
Lin Yang had already noticed the unusual behavior of these few monsters. Now, seeing this bull monster suddenly targeting him and assuming a stance ready for battle, he immediately realized what the other party wanted to do.
At this time, the man who transformed into a bull spoke: "Brother, I, this bull, have an itch to challenge you since you are a human cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang was about to refuse, but the bull in front of him suddenly kicked off and charged towards him.
At this time, Lin Yang climbed a few steps and was not too far from the ground. Seeing the cow charging at him, he immediately leaped back, his figure graceful and light as he gracefully landed on the ground.
Just as Lin Yang landed, the cow followed closely and also fell to the ground with a loud "bang". The earth trembled for a moment, and the cow's hooves kept charging towards Lin Yang.
Lin Yang knew that he couldn't communicate with the bull, and at this moment, the bull's head was already approaching with full momentum. If he were to be struck by its horns, Lin Yang would surely get injured.
Without time to think, he sidestepped and immediately struck out with a palm, narrowly avoiding the charging bull. At the same time, Lin Yang's palm landed on its head, causing the fierce bull to stumble.
The fierce bull attacked first but didn't gain any advantage. It let out a 'moo' and charged towards Lin Yang. Lin Yang responded in kind and engaged with the bull.
Lin Yang originally just wanted to come out and take a look. He had no grudges with Lin Cheng, and even gave the little beast some benefits earlier. He was initially holding back when taking action.
Lin Yang has now reached the late True Yuan stage, and his physical body has been enhanced several times. Although Lieniu's physical body is strong, it is not in the same league as Lin Yang. If Lin Yang wants to kill the opponent, it is also very easy, even a general Qi Refinement stage is not his opponent, let alone a monster of the same level as himself.
However, Lin Yang's one-sided plea for mercy fooled Lieniu and made him misunderstand Lin Yang's good intentions, thinking that Lin Yang was only capable of dealing with him through agile body movements.

So, the bull kept looking for opportunities to collide head-on with Lin Yang.
If you talk about the endurance of this bull, it's really impressive. It fought against Lin Yang for fifteen minutes without any signs of weakening, instead igniting its fighting spirit.

After successfully dodging the charging fierce bull once, Lin Yang was still somewhat annoyed. If this continued, there would be no point in strolling down this street.
Just then, the fierce bull charged again, carrying immense force and stirring up a lot of dust on the street. Seeing this, Lin Yang immediately activated his right arm, channeling the force into his right fist, firmly planted on the ground, no longer intending to dodge.
Immediately, with a loud bang, Lin Yang's fist landed squarely on the head of the fierce bull.
It was as if the fierce bull's body had hit a solid wall, immediately stopping in its tracks. Following that, Lin Yang threw another punch, causing the fierce bull's body to retreat and finally come to a halt more than ten yards away.
At this moment, Lie Niu's brain buzzed, he shook his head, growled low, and charged at Lin Yang again.
Lin Yang didn't expect that this bull could take a beating. Not only did he come out unscathed from the previous attack, but he also launched another attack within such a short period of time.
Seeing the fierce bull charging again, Lin Yang felt speechless, he really didn't want to waste any more time.
Watching the bull charging with all four hooves, Lin Yang made a gesture with his hand and a sword appeared in his right hand.
