Chapter 187: Revenge
Chapter 187: Revenge
Boom!
A glimmer of golden light appeared on Fang Xing's body and transformed into a Golden Core law domain. The two Golden Core law domains entangled and neutralized each other... causing Wei Shentong's advantage to instantly disappear.
Bang!
Fang Xing's fingers glowed golden as he flicked them.
A blade aura appeared and collided with Wei Shentong's claw.
Ziiii!
Although the blade aura shattered instantly, the overflowing blade energy directly shattered Wei Shentong's mask and hat, revealing an ordinary-looking face.
—Of course, Wei Shentong wasn't foolish. As soon as his mask shattered, he altered his flesh, changing his appearance.
"Wei Shentong!"
Fang Xing shouted loudly, "It doesn't matter how you change your appearance; you can't hide your eyes... Why did you break into my house and attack me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Shentong felt a sense of dismay.
'I'm not afraid... As long as I kill him first, I can destroy all the data in the villa... I still have time.'
'Wait...'
Wei Shentong's heart, which had been filled with murderous intent, suddenly realized something: "Your strength has improved?!'
"If I hadn't just broken through to the Golden Core stage, you might have succeeded. Now, die!"
Fang Xing roared in anger, extending three fingers.
—Star Martial Arts Quadruple Extremity!
In mid-air, Wei Shentong's figure flew backwards, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The collision of their Golden Core energies sent a shockwave through his body, rattling his internal organs and inflicting internal injuries.
And more importantly, his disguise was broken, revealing his true face.
"It's really you!"
Fang Xing shouted coldly, "You dared to break into my home and try to kill me... Wei Assistant Instructor, you deserve to die for your actions!"
By now, he no longer bothered to conceal his killing intent.
"The Bureau?! Have I fallen into a trap?!"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Wei Shentong's eyes cleared, and he finally shook off the influence of the Six Desires Heart Demon Talisman.
However, even though he now realized he had been tricked, there was little he could do.
Moreover, his hatred for Fang Xing only intensified.
"Regardless of who was right or wrong before, it's clear that our feud can only end with one of us dead."
Wei Shentong's demeanor turned solemn, and he seemed to revert to the previous 'Little Martial Saint'.
Streams of golden light emanated from his Golden Core, enveloping his body, resembling a golden Arhat.
However, this golden light appeared dim and incomplete, fluctuating between shades of reddish-yellow, brass, and gold.
—The injuries inflicted by the Moon God's devouring had lingering effects.
"Taking advantage of my weakness and manipulating me into coming here to kill you... Your scheming knows no bounds."
Now that he had been exposed, Wei Shentong dropped all pretense: "However... no matter how clever the scheme, it still requires strength to be carried out. Among martial artists, the principle is simple—a single stroke can decide life and death! Today, you will die by my hand!"
As he spoke, his aura surged wildly, and he opened his hands as if grasping a giant wheel: "Behold my ultimate technique—the Great Golden Vajra Wheel! To perish under this martial art is a fate you should be proud of!"
Fang Xing was familiar with this Great Golden Vajra Wheel technique.
When his cultivation clone had tried to assassinate Wei Shentong in the past, he had not only failed but had also been severely injured by the backlash of Wei Shentong's Golden Core energy, amplified by the 'Great Golden Vajra Wheel'.
This set of martial arts was Wei Shentong's ultimate trump card, which he believed surpassed the level of a Martial God.
Just this move alone was a testament to his exceptional talent!
Fortunately, the technique remained the same, but the person executing it was no longer the same.
"Wei Shentong, you've grown weaker," Fang Xing laughed loudly.
His body emitted a dragon-elephant roar, and with the augmentation of the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Unbreakable Mystical Power, his body also turned golden, rivaling the might of a third-turn Golden Core Realm expert!
"Ah... Dragon-Elephant Vajra Unbreakable Mystical Power? You've hidden this well!" Wei Shentong's eyes reflected deep wariness, and his right hand clenched like a giant wheel as it slammed down.
"Formless Wheel!" he shouted.
The Formless is without shadow or form, coming and going without a trace.
Thus, this move was both illusory and real, skillfully utilizing the Golden Core law domain, making it seem like Wei Shentong could appear and disappear at will.
Bang!
Fang Xing's snapping fingers created a thunderous explosion that accurately struck the 'Formless Golden Wheel'. Astonishing blade auras overflowed, and the shattering force slammed into Fang Xing's defensive mystical powers, creating a sound like a grand bell tolling.
Seeing that Fang Xing could withstand the Formless Wheel, Wei Shentong's expression turned solemn. He formed a seal with both hands, resembling a constantly spinning wheel of life.
"Wheel of No Sentient Beings!" he declared.
With this seal, the energy of the universe and all things within it seemed to transform into strange wheel shapes, crashing towards Fang Xing.
Fang Xing remained calm, raising three fingers. "Star Martial Arts Quadruple Extremity!"
Golden Core energies converged endlessly, breaking through the surface to reveal their core, causing the overflowing golden light to suddenly converge.
Wei Shentong seemed to have anticipated this move. After executing the 'Wheel of No Sentient Beings', his aura weakened, and his face turned ashen.
He was already injured, and now he was merely putting up a front.
However, within this 'deadly stillness', an unseen danger lurked.
A sense of his lifespan nearing its end suddenly washed over him.
Following this, a wheel of decay and ruin emerged. "Wheel of No Life!"
Bang!
The two figures collided and froze, resembling sculptures.
Wei Shentong looked at his own palm, which had pierced through Fang Xing's defensive mystical powers and skin, reaching his shoulder. A cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Your energy is already depleted. This attack won't kill me, nor will you ever be able to. As for me, I will strike you down directly in the name of dealing with an intruder."
Despite his injuries, Fang Xing looked like a victor.
Indeed, it was just as he had said.
After all, Wei Shentong was already badly wounded, and the fact that he had lasted this long was commendable.
Alas... he did not realize that Fang Xing had already cultivated to the Martial Golden Core, and by being dragged into this battle and stalemate, his defeat was inevitable!
"Yes... I am defeated, but you won't fare any better!"
A brilliant golden light suddenly burst from Wei Shentong's eyes, and he spoke with malice. "I want you to fall into the endless abyss of hell with me, never to be reborn!"
Two points of golden light appeared in his eyes, and Fang Xing felt some kind of 'nameless thing' enter through the wound on his shoulder.
"You..."
But his expression turned strange. "Are you 'initiating' me?"
He could feel Wei Shentong's martial arts experience, spiritual power, and blood essence constantly flowing into his body...
Along with it came the terrible Moon God corruption!
This 'initiation' is a secret art that can only be cultivated by martial artists who have reached the Martial Golden Core. It is a self-destructive way of empowering others.
However, now that Wei Shentong was corrupted by the evil god, this initiation had become a detrimental secret art!
Fang Xing was about to be corrupted by the Moon God.
What was even more terrifying was that this initiation did not eliminate the evil god's corruption in Wei Shentong but instead doubled it, and it couldn't even reduce the existing corruption in Wei Shentong's body by half!
This was the true terror of the evil gods from beyond the domain! Otherwise, Wei Shentong could have purged the corruption by initiating someone else, and he would have done so long ago.
"Yes, perish..."
Wei Shentong's eyes were crazed, and suddenly, it seemed like he saw something unbelievable, his expression twisting in shock. "You... who are you?!"
His expression shifted from manic joy to despair...
He felt the spiritual corruption within him, as if it had encountered a purifying force, burning it away! This secret art had turned into a normal initiation, and everything, including his martial arts experience, would now benefit the other party.
Wei Shentong was filled with hatred! If he had known earlier that Fang Xing was a 'heretic follower', he would never have come here alone. A single phone call would have sealed Fang Xing's fate.
But unfortunately for him, it was too late.
Bang!
Fang Xing pointed a finger at Wei Shentong's forehead.
Wei Shentong, who had already lost most of his essence and energy, struggled to maintain his body's indestructibility, but the golden light on his forehead shattered.
Then, the back of his head exploded, spraying blood and brain matter all over the place...
"Today, our grudge ends!"
Fang Xing looked at Wei Shentong's body on the ground and sighed. Then, he picked up a camera from the side, watched the footage, and extracted a segment from the beginning that favored him.
He wouldn't forge the footage, but he would edit it, cutting out all the parts that were unfavorable to him.
After doing all this, Fang Xing called the Security Bureau. "Hello... I want to report a case. I encountered a murder..."
...
Several hours later, Fang Xing walked out of the Security Bureau and saw Xu Santang waiting by the roadside.
"Senior Xu..."
He hurried forward to greet him.
After all, the chain of events in this case was clear, and as the 'victim', he was released after providing a statement.
"Hmm... good news. Wei Shentong was already abandoned, so there was no need for me to protect you. They didn't intend to get involved..."
Xu Santang shook his head. "Sigh... The Federation is now filled with creatures driven by self-interest. Once you can't benefit them, they will abandon you without hesitation... Even I feel disheartened. Sometimes it seems the best place to be is in a psychiatric hospital, away from all this madness."
Fang Xing breathed a sigh of relief. "Since that's the case, I'll go to Blue Star University to enroll in the graduate program..."
He could forego undergraduate studies, but he still needed to pursue a graduate degree.
Moreover, if he could break through the 'Vajra Realm' during his graduate studies, he could continue to pursue a doctorate!
"The graduate program at the university is decent, but the resource supply is only average..."
Xu Santang suddenly said, "In 15 years, it's unlikely that you'll be able to condense a few dozen death holes. Why don't you join the army? I guarantee that you'll reach the Vajra stage within 10 years."
"No need," Fang Xing remained calm and didn't feel any regret at refusing such a tempting offer. "I still prefer a quiet life of academic pursuit."
"Since everyone has their own path, I won't persuade you anymore... In the future, when I run for congressman, you will have just graduated. You can come and be my campaign secretary, and I'll take care of exempting your mandatory military service."
Xu Santang waved his hand. "Let's have a drink together sometime... I won't mooch a ride on your private spaceship today."
Watching the back of this eccentric man leaving, Fang Xing shook his head.
In truth, if it weren't for the existence of other worlds, Xu Santang's path would have been a golden one.
But now that there were other choices and dimensions to explore, it was best to maintain a calm and stable life in the main universe.
'Indeed... freedom is the most important thing in life, and the key is to always have options...'
