Chapter 224: Spell Battle
"Do you think I'd believe that?"
A smile, yet not quite a smile, appeared on Fang Xing's face.
In reality, the previous situation had been somewhat dangerous for him.
The Wood Old Daoist was naturally not worth mentioning, but the Nie surname woman was clearly an Array Master. If he had given her the opportunity to calmly set up her array, he would have been the one in a difficult position.
Of course, everything was completely different after the main body took action.
Taking advantage of the sudden nature of the Gate of All Heavens, he launched a surprise attack, and with a single punch, he eliminated the enemy's most troublesome Array Master.
As for the 'Moonlight Body'? As long as they were enemies, he would show no mercy.
He was a cultivator with a heavenly spirit root; even if he encountered a bottleneck after Core Formation, he wouldn't stoop to relying on dual cultivation to advance his cultivation.
Now that it had become a one-on-two fight, even if this Stone Daoist was very difficult to deal with, it wouldn't take much effort.
"Hmm?"
Fang Xing's expression suddenly changed, and the Rusty Sword transformed into a sword beam, instantly slicing across the Stone Daoist's arm.
Sizzle!
The third-rank robe tore open, revealing the Stone Daoist's grayish-white skin.
The sword beam landed on his body, leaving only a white mark.
"Petrified Demon Body... indeed, its reputation is well-deserved."
Fang Xing sighed.
At this moment, the Stone Daoist had already finished his secret move.
He opened a corpse bag at his waist, and inside, sinister demonic energy surged.
A Golden Armor Corpse appeared faintly within.
This Golden Armor Corpse wore a dark golden armor, its face was dark and black, its fangs were exposed, and its fingernails were incredibly sharp, resembling two monstrous claws. Its aura directly entered the third rank, making it clearly difficult to deal with.
"Go!"
The Stone Daoist extended his hand and flicked his finger, sending a drop of blood flying onto the Golden Armor Corpse's forehead, manifesting a blood-colored talisman.
The Golden Armor Corpse's eyes flashed with a sinister light, and it roared as it charged towards the cultivation clone.
Whoosh! Fang Xing slashed horizontally with his sword, invoking the Sword Intent of the Heavenly Heart, which landed on the Golden Armor Corpse, causing sparks to scatter.
"A third-rank superior-grade Magical Spirit Armor?"
Fang Xing's eyes moved as he looked at the armor on the Golden Armor Corpse; it was even better than the Ten Thousand Beast Armor he was wearing.
But after the big battle, asking him to strip the armor from the dead corpse and wear it himself was obviously not an option.
'And that blood talisman from before... the Demon Dao truly severs one's heart and emotions, refining their own blood kin into a demon corpse?'
The cultivation clone's sword beam transformed into countless sword auras, flooding the Golden Armor Corpse like a mighty river, searching for its weaknesses and flaws.
On the other side.
The Stone Daoist looked at Fang Xing with interest: "Who are you? To directly teleport through space and arrive here..."
"Why should the dead know too much?"
Fang Xing coldly snorted, and his figure moved forward.
Boom!
His body was like a phantom, rushing forward, and behind him, a cloud seemed to be affected by the counterforce, shaking violently before dispersing into countless strands.
Boom!
As Fang Xing stepped forward with the Air Dance Steps, his Martial Dao Will had already descended, assaulting the Stone Daoist's divine sense.
The Stone Daoist's expression changed, and in his sea of consciousness, an ancient stone seal appeared, an extremely rare type of treasure for guarding the divine sense!
It was said that such treasures had numerous benefits, especially in defending against divine sense attacks, dealing with cultivator's heart demons, and even crossing the heart demon tribulation during Core Incarnation.
However, the materials were too rare, and refining them was extremely difficult, making them a rare sight in the cultivation world.
But the Stone Daoist, as a Golden Core cultivator of the Nine Infants Sect, had encountered numerous fortuitous encounters in secret. This 'Heart Guard Seal' was inherited from an ancient cultivator's cave abode.
He kept it as his trump card, never revealing it.
Unexpectedly, on their first encounter, Fang Xing had discovered it.
"What a powerful divine sense attack, almost at the fourth rank?"
The Stone Daoist was shocked, looking at the charging Fang Xing. His entire body seemed to be covered in stone skin, transforming into a stone figure with both fists striking out.
Boom!
Fang Xing didn't dodge or avoid, and he also punched out.
The two fists collided in mid-air, creating a loud noise.
Bang, bang, bang!
Like a hundred flowers blooming, Fang Xing struck out a hundred punches in an instant, even finding the flaws in the Stone Daoist's fist technique and directly punching the Stone Daoist's chest.
Puff!
Under this punch, the Stone Daoist retreated repeatedly, and his robe tore open, revealing his grayish-white chest.
At this moment, a layer of stone dust was falling.
"Satisfying!"
Fang Xing laughed heartily: "You're the first person here who can exchange punches with me!"
"How is this possible..."
The Stone Daoist lowered his head, looking at the fist mark on his chest, somewhat incredulous.
He cultivated both the physical body and spiritual body, and his physical strength was already comparable to a third-rank body refinement cultivator. Especially to complement his body refinement cultivation, he had even learned some body refinement combat techniques and mortal martial arts, considering himself a master at the peak of his art.
But he never expected that in the martial arts he was proud of, he would be directly crushed by Fang Xing!
Fang Xing, however, just smiled without saying a word.
The martial path of this world, with its post-natal and pre-natal stages, how could it compare to the Martial Path of the Blue Star?
The opponent's martial cultivation had some potential, but the techniques were too rough and certainly not a match for his own refined Martial Dao.
If it weren't for avoiding being too arrogant, Fang Xing would have even said: "Don't use your hobby to challenge my profession!"
On the other side, a cluster of dim yellow light suddenly burst from the Stone Daoist's eyes, and he wiped his chest.
A layer of stone dust fell, covering and merging with the original fist imprint, and there was no longer any sign of injury.
"Oh? Using secret techniques to forcefully suppress the injury, that's quite interesting..."
Fang Xing stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching Stone Daoist's display.
Stone Daoist lifted his hand, and three defensive talismans flew out, transforming into a golden shield, an earthen wall, and a water barrier, forming multiple layers of defense around himself. He then patted his Dantian, and a grayish-white light emerged from his mouth, transforming into a stone bowl.
This was his Soulbound Treasure, an exceptional third-rank artifact.
At this moment, Stone Daoist held the stone bowl, chanting incantations as streams of demon qi emanated from it.
Then, one by one, strange stone statues flew out.
These statues resembled bats but had human heads, each with a different appearance. The only common feature was their extremely hideous expressions, as if frozen in their last moments of life.
As Stone Daoist's incantations continued, these stone statues seemed to come to life, moving as if they had their own will.
They transformed into demonic beasts, forming a battle formation—a rare display of a single person creating an array formation!
"The Petrify Demon Technique is indeed extraordinary... Did you extract the souls of the cultivators you killed and refine them into these stone demonic beasts?"
Fang Xing observed this scene and calmly nodded, "But have you ever considered that if something goes wrong with your demon technique, these stone demons might turn on you, causing you unimaginable suffering?"
"The Demon Dao is like climbing a perilous peak. If I were to meet such a fate, it would merely be my bad luck... If given another chance, I would still make the same choice!" Stone Daoist chuckled coldly.
Cultivating the Righteous Path requires a calm and composed mind, and the same is true for the Demon Dao, especially a heart as hard as iron! For Stone Daoist, his mental state was as solid as a rock, unshakable by Fang Xing's words.
At this moment, he manipulated the magical treasure stone bowl, controlling numerous stone demonic beasts. In the void, demon qi gathered, forming a colossal four-legged beast.
Its massive body was like a mountain, covered in stone skin, and it had three horns on its head, unlike anything in the mortal realm.
Stone Daoist made a series of hand seals, and the stone-skinned beast opened its blood-red mouth, from which a grayish-white light ray emerged, sweeping towards Fang Xing with astonishing speed.
Whoosh!
Fang Xing's movement technique was even faster.
His body twisted, contorting into a bizarre arc, narrowly avoiding the grayish-white light ray.
As before, he couldn't dodge the light ray, but the beast's obvious movements before casting its spell allowed him to evade by reading its mouth movements.
Sizzle!
The grayish-white light ray struck the ground, instantly turning a forest into a landscape of bizarre rocks.
Countless trees were instantly covered in a grayish-white layer, and even the birds and squirrels on the branches were transformed into lifelike stone statues in an instant.
"What a bizarre demon technique," Fang Xing thought, adding, "If the research fanatics at the Academy saw this, they would definitely want to study you..."
The transformation of flesh and plants into stone directly challenged common sense.
Especially without the aid of any interstellar equipment, and being accomplished by a lone Sixth Stage professional, it was truly bizarre.
Fang Xing moved, entering the battle formation, and his three fingers came together, "Star Martial Quadruple Absolutes!"
Wherever his fingers passed, stone demonic beasts exploded, shattering into countless fragments.
Stone Daoist manipulated the stone bowl, constantly altering the battle formation, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
But this smile vanished when he turned his attention to another battlefield.
"So that's how it is. This 'Golden Armor Corpse' is a fake... The key isn't in the refined corpse, but in this treasure armor..."
The clone of the cultivation practitioner laughed heartily.
After some initial probing, he had found the weakness of this 'Golden Armor Corpse'. With a loud shout, he merged with his sword, harnessing the power of sword intent, and a sword beam pierced the golden armor at a specific point.
It was as if a key had been inserted into a lock, triggering a mechanism.
The ancient golden armor instantly disassembled into various components—a heart guard mirror, tiger head shoulder guards, a helmet, arm guards, and more—scattering in all directions.
Only the refined corpse with a blood talisman on its forehead remained, and Fang Xing's sword aura encircled its neck.
A hideous head dropped to the ground.
"Damn it!"
Stone Daoist witnessed this scene and glanced at Fang Xing, who was unleashing his power within the battle formation. He quickly changed his hand seals.
The original battle formation exploded, transforming into another array.
Countless purple-black runes emerged from the dead stone demonic beasts, resembling black butterflies.
The swarm of rune butterflies gathered, as if opening a portal to an unknown dimension, and a massive entity descended, projecting a divine thought!
Stone Daoist, upon seeing this, couldn't help but laugh with satisfaction.
His Petrify Demon Technique was exceptional, allowing him to control the stone demonic beasts he had refined.
But this battle formation had another transformation—when the stone demonic beasts suffered heavy casualties, they could transform into a sacrifice array, communicating with an ancient fossilized demonic beast discovered by the Nine Infants Sect, summoning its power.
Stone Daoist had used this tactic to defeat countless powerful enemies.
Now, he was thrilled to see the divine thought manifest as a small grayish-white beast and charge into Fang Xing's sea of consciousness.
