Niu Daji put the syringe into his mouth and drank it all in one go.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp!"

His belly immediately started rumbling like a boiling kettle.

"Here it comes!"

Niu Daji quickly settled into a stable stance and channeled his energy to his dantian.

"Boom!!!"

A burst of strong gas tore through his pants, crashing onto the ground.

The entire cow, Niu Daji, was propelled into the air by the recoil, the green gas blasting a large pit in the ground and then spreading all around.

"Damn you ancestors!"

The stench, full of a grassy, fishy smell, rushed into Panda's nostrils, nearly knocking him out cold.

Frightened, he quickly used the Qi-Dispelling Art, narrowly avoiding getting overwhelmed by the odor.

Fortunately, Feng Mo has a yin-yang array protecting it, with built-in gas-dispelling capabilities, so it was okay.

As for Liu Zheng, well, if he gets knocked out by the stench, so be it. He couldn't move anyway, so it wouldn't make much of a difference.

"Bleh!"

The strange grass waste gas that Niu Daji had built up over several days proved incredibly effective. In less than a minute, uncontrollable retching sounds came from not far away.

"Got you!"

Niu Daji was overjoyed, running toward the sound while still passing gas.

Gongyang Xin certainly wasn't going to stand still and wait for death, so she hurriedly moved away.

But as Niu Daji got closer, her retching became more frequent, and she eventually couldn't avoid being caught.

Niu Daji pinpointed the direction from the sounds and delivered a sweeping kick that struck Gongyang Xin's face directly.

Gongyang Xin flew backward, her Invisibility Technique failing automatically, revealing her form.

"Let's see where you run to this time!"

Niu Daji triumphantly picked up the unconscious Gongyang Xin.

"Bleh!"

At this moment, Liu Zheng also belatedly started dry-heaving.

But having braved sewer trials, he managed to hold back after a couple of heaves.

"Who farted? It's so smelly!"

He asked loudly.

"It was me, boss,"

Niu Daji replied sheepishly, scratching his head.

"Since you love stinky powers so much, next time you can take a deep dive into the Underwater River."

Liu Zheng gave Niu Daji a kick, speaking irritably.

"Boss, I'm sorry. I won't do it again next time."

Niu Daji quickly said.

Of course, even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it again; those strange grasses had already been completely digested.

"Is there a way to completely incapacitate her?"

Liu Zheng asked, looking at Gongyang Xin.

"There is, actually."

Panda pulled out a long nail from his floral cloth bundle.

"Why does this look familiar?"

Liu Zheng looked at the long nail, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

"I remember now, isn't this what the client used to nail his master's coffin? When did you get it?"

He recalled there should be seven of them, probably called the Northern Dipper Soul-Suppressing Nail, but they were missing when he checked the battlefield later.

"Weren't there seven? Where are the remaining six?"

He asked.

"I only found this one, don't blame me."

Panda said.

"Even one, you need to report it. Do you think I'm short of this stuff and that you need to hide it? Come here."

Liu Zheng commanded.

"You're not short of this stuff, but you still keep hounding me for the Tiger Soul Fragment and Taiyi Essence Gold."

Panda muttered under his breath but obediently came over.

Considering his issue was more serious than Niu Daji's, Liu Zheng gave him two kicks.

"Alright, seal her up and take her back to the clinic. I'll deal with her after I finish my delivery."

With that, Liu Zheng hopped into the spirit car and drove off.

"I didn't expect you, stupid cow, to actually be loyal and not rat me out."

Panda looked at Niu Daji in a new light.

"Hmph, that's because you don't really understand our boss. If I sold you out, I'd just be punished even more harshly."

Niu Daji replied.

If you say he's honest, then Niu Daji certainly wasn't that honest; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up clinging to Liu Zheng.

But he knew how to curry favor, acting in a way Liu Zheng liked.

"Tch~"

Panda pouted, tearing open Gongyang Xin's clothes with a claw to reveal her smooth back.

Then he used a talisman pen to mark six red dots on Gongyang Xin's spine, forming the pattern of the Northern Dipper constellation, except for the all-important Tianshu.

It's known that the Southern Dipper grants life while the Northern Dipper takes it. Many sects have a similar "Northern Dipper Soul-Suppressing Nail" spell, and Panda naturally knew it, though it was generally weak.

However, with this Northern Dipper Soul-Suppressing Nail suppressing the "Tianshu," it was enough to seal a small fry like Gongyang Xin.

Just as Panda was about to drive the nail into Gongyang Xin's spine, something changed.

Gongyang Xin still kept her eyes shut but her mouth opened involuntarily, with a tiny hand reaching out.

Covered in a layer of light yellow fluid, resembling amniotic fluid, the tiny hand sent a potent sense of danger to Panda and Niu Daji.

Just as they were preparing to take action, the tiny hand suddenly clenched tightly.

"Hiss!"

Panda and Niu Daji's hearts were also gripped by an invisible force, causing intense pain and making them immobile.

"Since you won't let this old one live, let's all die together!"

An aged voice full of resentment and malice issued from Gongyang Xin's mouth.

Then, a not fully developed little face emerged from her mouth, its clear yet cloudy eyes intensely staring down Panda and Niu Daji, overwhelming them.

Though these two demons had their own luck, it was not enough to withstand the Nightmare Suppression Technique, which she executed at the cost of her essence.

The Black Mountain Goat Cub hybrid could have resisted, so she held back until that creature left before making her move.

"Old hag, you can die ten thousand times, and I still won't die!"
