Chapter 1078: Ruthless Characte

Hearing its roar reminded Zhang Zian of a question––which generation of Fina Paris XIII was that? It was a strange question, but maybe the statue just learned to speak and didn’t understand grammar.

“Fina is not here at the moment. It is probably sleeping in the shop.” He shook his head. “If you want to see it, you must first surrender. Don’t worry, we are very lenient. We will not kill you if we pay with your claws. If you pay with your nose ring, we will punish you for your merits!”

When it heard his words, it was suspicious, doubtful, and angry. It was confused as to why its sworn enemy was not there. Could it be that sleep was that important? It really wanted to tell its sworn enemy personally that there was no need to sleep. There would experience a naturally long sleep after its death!

What made it angry was that its sworn enemy had not appeared. Could it be that it was looking down on it? What right did it have? It was a real god, and its sworn enemy was only the spokesperson for Bastet. To say it in a ruder way, it was just Bastet’s dog!

But regardless of that, it was definitely more at ease. Its sworn enemy was not there, and it was not fearful of the rest!

It knew that it had accidentally fallen for the enemy’s scheme and was surrounded. Zhang Zian abusing the kitten was just a ploy to get it there, but despite that, staying there was just wasting time. It did not have long until it was daylight.

It was not naturally fearful of daylight like ghosts or vampires were, but in its heart it felt uncomfortable. The sunlight made it feel like it was burning and like it was going to melt. The daylight caused its movements to be obvious, and at that moment, it was not good for it to be exposed in front of everyone.

It needed to quickly get around the cats that were surrounding it!

It pretended to look around, and created the illusion that it intended to break out of its surroundings. It glanced at Zhang Zian, then it rushed towards him without hesitation.

It knew it had to capture the ringleader in order to capture all its followers.

It was not in a good situation. Usually, it was in the dark and others were in the light, but its current situation was reversed. In the shadowy woods and weeds around it, it did not know whether there were other enemies lurking. Therefore, it had to hold Zhang Zian hostage to ensure its safe departure.

Although its speed was not particularly fast, the distance between it and Zhang Zian was only about 56 meters. Human eyesight at night was limited, so even if Zhang Zian wanted to avoid the Holy Cat Statue, it was going to be too late. Needless to mention its tusks and claws, even if he was hit by such a heavy bronze lump at a high speed, he would be sputtering blood.

The five to six meters of distance was decreased by half in a blink of his eye, and red traces were left behind where its eyes used to be. It could see from Zhang Zian’s facial expression that he was caught off guard.

The muscles in his body moved before his mind. He bent his knees slightly and tried to jump, but it was still too late.

Just when the Holy Cat Statue thought that it would definitely succeed, the grass to the side of it suddenly separated and a figure jumped out at the speed of lightning. It jumped and stopped it while it was in the air. A cat that was dressed like a human rushed out of the grass towards the statue.

The figure was wearing a hat. Its gown and jacket were pulled tight against the wind. Two brass-colored eyes projected from beneath the hat, and its speed was astonishing.

“You evil creature––how dare you do this!” This figure erupted in a burst of anger, and then stopped in front of Zhang Zian.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The two figures met in the air at a speed that the human eye could not perceive. They wiped out a series of dazzling sparks, and five crisp dings of clashing metal rang out into the green space.

The two figures, exhausted, turned away from each other. The statue of the Cat God weighed a lot, so it went backwards only about a meter, while the other figure in the air turned a somersault and lightly landed back in its original position.

“Who are you?” The Holy Cat Statue used its blood red eyes to stare at the figure that had just appeared. The other party’s strength exceeded its imagination. Even though there was a great difference in their weights, when they met each other midair, there was no way to borrow strength. The other party used an extremely high-level technique to remove the strength of its attack and then attack it back.

The figure wore a hat, and its face was hidden under the rim. Its robe swayed slightly in the night wind. It stood there calmly, with the composure of a schoolmaster.

“I am Old Time Tea,” Old Time Tea spoke.

When the Holy Cat Statue was displayed in the shop, it was facing outside to welcome the customers. Old Time Tea was a low-key cat, and it always watched television in the corner of the shop. It very rarely went out, and, because of that, the Holy Cat Statue had very little impression of it. It had not known that it was so strong. After all, when Old Time Tea showed off its strength in the past, the statue was still being displayed in a second hand antique shop.

Although Old Time Tea pretended to be calm and unaffected on the surface, the claw it had hidden in its long sleeve was swollen and aching. It was somewhat shocked at its strength as well, and therefore did not look down on the newly incarnated elfin.

One had to know, the power of faith gave it a steel body. A cat’s sharp claws could easily cut off its golden nose ring, but when it clashed with the Holy Cat Statue’s body, Old Time Tea became acutely aware of how strong its body was. Some of Old Time Tea’s strength had dimished, mainly because the other party’s body was heavy and strong. It felt like a lightweight sword tried to cut a hammer. Even though its claws were sharp, it was impossible for them to cut off through a hammer. Too much force would break the sword itself.

“Old Time Tea, are you all right?” Zhang Zian hurriedly asked.

“There’s no problem.” Old Time Tea shook its head. Its eyes never left the Holy Cat Statue.

Zhang Zian thought that it was lucky that Old Time Tea had come along… Otherwise trying to deal with that hit would have been nearly impossible.

On the other hand, the Holy Cat Statue was shocked. Old Time Tea’s claws had managed to scratch several wounds onto its bronze body. The battle may not have been anything extreme, but if it was not for its heavy and strong body of bronze, it would have died.

It had napped for 2,000 years. During its time away, the world had produced so many strong characters… They were like mushrooms springing up after the rain.

It could not help but feel fear in its heart. It was one thing if there was only Fina––it probably could have dealt with that––but if Old Time Tea, whose true power was not known, was added in, it was going to have to fight hard for its survival.

With Old Time Tea protecting Zhang Zian’s side, capturing the ringleader in order to capture all its followers was not possible anymore. Continuing to delay things was not beneficial to it.

So it repeated its trick. It bowed backwards, pretended it wanted to attack Zhang Zian again, then suddenly turned its head and rushed towards the entrance of the green space.

“Move out of my way!” it yelled angrily at the stray cats that were blocking its path.

However, the stray cats that would have avoided it in the past all stood still and did not move. Even though their faces still showed a look of fear, their eyes were burning with a belief that was enough to totally suppress life and death.

Death did not belong to a Meow-Meow Doctrine Believer!

The Holy Cat statue wasn’t pitying the strays. It had asked them to get out of the way just to prevent them from slowing it down. Since they refused to, their only option was to be crushed into dust under its weight!

The ground shook with every single step it took.

Its heavy body and its high speed run made it a reckless tank rushing at full speed. Even if a brick wall were to show up right in front of it now, it was confident that it would be able to put a hole through it. Even Old Time Tea and Fina would have to beware of him. A strong person could defeat 10 skilled fighters, after all.

It turned its head back a little to spy on the situation behind them. Seeing Zhang Zian and Old Time Tea staying where they were and not chasing after it, it was secretly relieved. Even though it was not afraid of Old Time Tea, it would still be a hassle if it was ever involved in a fight with it.

As long as it could break out of this trap today and go back to its secret base to gather itself, when it finally reached its peak performance, both Old Time Tea and Fina would be about as significant to him as two ants.

Of course, the best course of action would be to leave Binhai City for another place. It was quite dangerous, a fact it had come to understand in its short period here, roaming the darkness.

The entrance to the grass patch was finally within its reach, and as for all those pesky strays, since they weren’t afraid of death, they could just die!

Suddenly, its entire body was pushed down, as though it were carrying a heavy load on its back. Due to how unexpected the impact was, it almost broke its poor old back.

Its suppressed anger all burst out in one go. Who dared to attack it at this time?

He turned to see a fat orange cat bravely jumping onto its back, raising its fat paw, and slapping its face, twice!

It was dumbfounded, not because of how powerful or strong the slap was. Even if it was stronger than usual cats’, it wasn’t strong enough to warrant putting it into such a trance. It was because it had never received such humiliation as the humiliation of actually getting slapped by a stray.

Even though the cat was fat, it was relatively agile. It hit just once and immediately retreated, not wanting to prolong the fight. Even before the Holy Cat statue could react to it, the orange cat immediately jumped off its back and rolled into the long grass.

It knew that it should hold it in for the sake of the big plan. But it really couldn’t. It was a god. If a god didn’t punish anyone that dared treat them this way, who would still be afraid of them?

So it dug its paws right into the soft soil, digging four deep holes into it. It didn’t wait for its sprinting body to completely stop before changing courses and rushing towards the orange cat.

Its eyes were almost bleeding red with how angry it was. It swore to itself that it would chop that fat orange cat into a thousand pieces!

No matter how agile the fat cat was, it was still a normal cat. And no matter how clumsy the Holy Cat statue was, it was still about to become an elfin. Their speeds were as different as night and day.

But the period of acceleration and deceleration had given all of the other strays a short window of opportunity. Just as it was about to catch up to the fat cat, another brave stray jumped onto its back.

This was a white-grey floppy-eared cat, cute and cuddly but just as fierce when it came to its attacks, aiming directly for its eyes with its sharpened claws.

It was the natural instinct of every living being to protect their eyes, and the Holy Cat statue was no exception. It turned around, closing its eyes and evading the attack before bending its body to swing the grey cat off its back, opening its mouth and aiming directly for the grey cat’s throat.

Right then, its body froze up as though it had gotten electrocuted. It opened its eyes wide again, jerkily backing off several steps and gaping unbelievingly at the assassin that was hiding in the dark.

A pure white ball of fur rolled to its side.

The white ball opened up, and Snowy Lionet brought its paw to its nose and gave it a sniff, its face scrunching up and turning away as though it had smelled something absolutely vile. “I’ve checked its crotch, and it’s a male—yet another stinky male!”

Even though the Holy Cat statue was strong and sturdy, it still hurt a lot to be groped like that by Snowy Lionet. Its body was not completely made of copper after all. It was really close to being an actual elfin.

The pain kept radiating up from his crotch, almost making him want to curl up and lick at its crotch to soothe the pain from its testicles. But to protect its image and ego as a god, it didn’t do so.

Even Zhang Zian, watching from the side, silently closed his feet together.

“Who… Who are you?” It hurt so much, even its voice changed.

It was supposed to recognise Snowy Lionet, since Snowy Lionet was Fina’s loyal follower, but the pain had really clouded its brain function.

“Meow meow meow! I’m the ever lovely, ever popular Snowy Lionet, the castrator of toms and men! I see you’re very special. I’m willing to castrate you for free. What do you think?”

“Wha… What?”

The Holy Cat statue’s head was bursting with pain, and it didn’t understand the whole line of words it had just spoken.

Snowy Lionet kept looking at the space between the Holy Cat statue’s legs, speaking its next few words with much interest. “I’ve castrated a lot of cats, but I haven’t castrated a statue yet… I’m in a good mood today and wanted to have a good meal. Not only will I castrate you for free, I can also carve RBQ into your inner thighs. Aren’t you glad?”

The Holy Cat statue didn’t know what RBQ meant, but its instinct told it that it wasn’t anything good, and as a god, it shouldn’t go anywhere near those three words.

“Ridiculous!”

It roared, “Do you know the consequences of insulting gods like this?”

“Gods?” Snowy Lionet looked around, confused. “Where are they? I only see a statue very suitable as an RBQ!”

Faced with such a shameless cat with filthy words spewing out of it at every second, the Holy Cat statue was about to blow through the roof!

This could be the most unlucky day since its conception. If it was defeated by Old Time Tea or Fina, it would have been more accepting of it. But as a god, how could it be humiliated by such a no-name?

Its teeth were all bared now, black smoke spewing out of every single crevice in its torso as it leapt at Snowy Lionet with its claws out and teeth sharp. This time it would do it, no matter the distraction. It had to tear this white cat into a thousand pieces and chew on the meat on its bones as a reward!

Snowy Lionet had long been prepared. It knew that after males were attacked in this manner, they could react in one of two ways: either lose all of their energy and flop into a useless pile on the floor, or let their anger cloud all of their logical thinking abilities.

It curled itself onto a ball and rolled away, hiding underneath a stone chair.

The angered Holy Cat statue hit the stone chair, crushing it into pieces, but Snowy Lionet had rolled beneath another one by then.

It leaped up high, planning to smash both the chair and Snowy Lionet into dust.

“Meow meow meow! Save me, my queen! Your loyal subject’s getting bullied by stinky men!” Snowy Lionet shouted.

“Who dares commit crimes before my holy self?”

They could only see a ray of gold shining down from the sky, falling onto the Holy Cat statue’s neck and pressing it into the dirt and dust.
