Chapter 374: Killing
"Second Incarnation! Azure Flame Dragon... You... You're the Master of Dark Koi Island!"
"Impossible... How is it that your second incarnation is already at the late-stage Primordial Spirit?"
The Dark Cloud Great True Monarch stared at the second incarnation battling the puppet black dragon, his expression filled with horror.
Then, his face turned resolute: "Fellow Daoist, now that you've revealed your identity, I suppose you don't intend to let me leave this place?"
Fang Xing chuckled: "From the familiarity you have with the intelligence on the Master of Dark Koi Island, I knew you harbored ill intentions toward me. Keeping you here forever is only fitting, isn't it?"
Fang Xing laughed: "Initially, I thought you had some luck, but now it seems your luck has run out."
He formed a sword with his fingers, and two thick golden sword lights infused into the Sword Dragon.
The golden Sword Dragon let out a long cry, and countless Great Freedom Mystic Golden Sword Auras burst forth, shattering the black blades one by one.
In the end, the black thunder in the sky dissipated, and a black blade spirit treasure wailed, unexpectedly breaking in half!
The golden Sword Dragon immediately roared, and a claw pressed down on the Dark Cloud Great True Monarch.
The Dark Cloud Great True Monarch's figure flickered, and a pitch-black shield appeared before him.
Whoosh!
Sword auras landed on the pitch-black shield, leaving countless deep sword marks.
"Hmm? Not bad, huh? Your strength is considered strong among Great True Monarchs, but unfortunately, you've met me..."
Fang Xing sighed softly and swung his sword!
This sword was completely different from the previous ones, as it was a sword intent refined to the extreme.
In the world, there seemed to be only this vast white line.
A flash of white light, and the fourth-rank superior defensive spirit treasure, the Black Shield, was split in two, with an incredibly smooth cut.
It was a sword technique that could break ten thousand laws with a single strike!
After the sword light pierced through the Black Cloud Shield, it didn't stop for a moment, passing through the Dark Cloud Great True Monarch's body, cutting him in half with a single sword.
Whoosh!
A flash of blood light, and a damaged scarecrow appeared in its original position, cut in half at the waist.
Dozens of zhang away, a flash of light, and the figure of the Dark Cloud Great True Monarch appeared. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his face was deathly pale, and his ten fingers moved like a spinning wheel, tapping continuously.
Black silk threads flew out, disappearing into the surrounding dark clouds.
Countless dark clouds churned, transforming into aberrations, puppets, flying beasts, and even armored soldiers riding pitch-black steeds, forming a vast army that charged towards Fang Xing!
The Dark Cloud Great True Monarch's innate spirit treasure was neither the black blade nor the shield, but the 'Dark Cloud Orb'!
Its myriad transformations made it difficult to resist.
"Showy, but quite interesting."
Fang Xing chuckled. After breaking through the late-stage Primordial Spirit, he had no opponents, and he was just holding back, using the Dark Cloud Great True Monarch to practice his skills.
Unexpectedly, this Great True Monarch still had a fifth-rank life-saving treasure, allowing him to escape from Fang Xing's sword.
But... that was the only life-saving treasure he had.
Through this strike, Fang Xing also gained an understanding of his Cultivation Avatar's strength, which was considered among the top in the Divine Transformation realm. With countless skills, he could handle most enemies.
Next, he decided to let the second incarnation deal with this person.
The Dark Cloud Great True Monarch was shocked beyond words. He swept his divine perception and instantly saw a scene that made his eyes widen in fury.
The fourth-rank superior puppet he had obtained with great difficulty was wrapped by two Azure Flame Dragons, constantly refining it.
Under the terrifying Azure Flame's attack, the black dragon puppet's spiritual light gradually dimmed, eventually turning into countless broken talismans that exploded.
The second incarnation let out a cold laugh, raised his hand, and released a black demonic light.
The light blade slashed through the air, cutting the black dragon puppet in half.
The Azure Flame Dragon immediately pounced, and with just one refinement, it turned the two halves of the puppet into scrap metal...
After dealing with the puppet, the second incarnation looked at the approaching Dark Cloud phenomena and gently blew towards the Azure Sunfiend Lantern.
Threads of Azure Flame flew out, landing on an aberration formed by the Dark Cloud.
The aberration instantly turned into a torch, and countless Azure Flames exploded, burning the nearby Dark Cloud aberrations. The flames resembled a tide, engulfing the Dark Cloud in the opposite direction!
"Not good!"
Feeling his divine soul being scorched, the Dark Cloud Great True Monarch hurriedly waved his hand, collecting dozens of acres of dark clouds.
The infinite dark clouds transformed into a tornado, sucked into a vortex, and eventually turned into a black bead that fell into the Dark Cloud Great True Monarch's palm.
However, at this moment, on the surface of the black bead, there was still a thread of Azure Flame, struggling to burn...
Since the 'Dark Cloud Orb' was the Dark Cloud Great True Monarch's innate treasure, and the Azure Flame inherited the ability to burn divine souls from the Soul-Devouring Demon Fire, when the Dark Cloud Orb was scorched, it also heavily damaged the Dark Cloud Great True Monarch's divine soul!
"Master of Dark Koi Island, I admit defeat in today's matter... Please spare my life."
The Dark Cloud Great True Monarch's figure instantly split into nine, each with the same aura as the original, fleeing in different directions.
"Admit defeat?"
"You ruined my business and hurt my people, and you think a simple apology will let you go?"
Fang Xing coldly laughed and no longer concealed his identity.
He swept his divine perception, and under the 'Ten Thousand Hearts' secret technique, he had already confirmed the real body of the fleeing Dark Cloud Great True Monarch.
Then, the Ten Thousand Dharma Demonic Infant giggled and suddenly displayed the incarnation teleportation ability, catching up to a fleeing Dark Cloud phantom.
"Go!"
The Ten Thousand Dharma Demonic Infant pinched a hand seal, and on the Azure Sunfiend Lantern, a small flame from the lamp fell, transforming into a palm-sized mini bow and arrow, which the Ten Thousand Dharma Demonic Infant held in his hand, aiming at the Dark Cloud Great True Monarch, and released it gently!
Sizzle!
The bowstring vibrated like thunder!
An Azure Flame rocket instantly hit the Dark Cloud Great True Monarch, piercing through layer after layer of defense and embedding itself in his Dharmic body.
"Ah!"
Dark Cloud Great True Monarch let out a painful cry, and his Dharmic body instantly turned to ashes.
But the next moment, a silver light flashed in the void thousands of meters away, and a much weaker incarnation appeared, holding a black bead with purple-green flames in his embrace.
"Incarnation Teleportation? I can do that too!"
The Ten Thousand Dharma Demonic Infants laughed and flashed a few times, catching up to the incarnation of Dark Cloud Great True Monarch.
Then...
A terrifying pale Corpse Qi soared into the sky.
Suddenly, a jade-like palm stretched out, as if sealing the space, and grabbed Dark Cloud Great True Monarch in its grasp.
Before Dark Cloud Great True Monarch fainted, he saw a figure of a woman with skin as translucent as jade, emitting a brilliant treasure light.
"A Quasi-Fifth Rank Corpse Refiner, it's indeed useful."
Fang Xing patted the corpse bag.
This Corpse Refiner was contributed by Meng Old Devil, instantly surpassing his original Fourth Rank Superior Corpse Refiner.
After completing all this, Fang Xing turned around and smiled at Fire Dragon True Monarch, "How late you are, fellow Daoist?"
At this moment, Fire Dragon True Monarch was a bit dazed, "Dark Cloud Great True Monarch... is dead? Not only that, but his incarnation didn't even escape?"
'Before this, I actually thought that after advancing to the Incarnation True Monarch realm, I could address Dark Kui Island as Senior Brother...'
He smiled broadly, "Many thanks to Senior Uncle Dark Kui for the rescue... Junior Nephew also has a copy of the Ten Thousand Swords Chart, which was obtained within the Gate. I'd like to offer it to Senior Uncle!"
"No need..."
Fang Xing waved his hand dismissively, "By the way, where is Tai Bai?"
"Ever since the Array Spirit sent him out of the Gate, Junior Nephew has been separated from Senior Brother Tai Bai..."
Fire Dragon True Monarch suddenly clenched his teeth, "But Junior Nephew guesses... the Kill Sword lineage should know about many good things within the Gate. Senior Brother Tai Bai might have obtained a Divine Transformation Opportunity."
Between Fang Xing and Tai Bai Sword Immortal, Fire Dragon True Monarch didn't need to choose.
"Oh? Not bad luck..."
Fang Xing nodded, seemingly indifferent, "It's just a pity that Tai Bai is still far from Divine Transformation. It seems he plans to hide until the Divine Transformation stage before coming out."
In this world, if cultivators were lucky enough to obtain an opportunity to break through to a higher realm, most of them would make the same choice as Tai Bai Sword Immortal.
Fang Xing understood perfectly.
If it were him, he would probably make a similar move.
The only difference was that he had the confidence.
However, since he didn't care much about the Divine Transformation Elixir, he naturally cared even less about the Divine Transformation Opportunity that Tai Bai Sword Immortal had obtained.
If the Divine Transformation Elixir could increase the chances of success by two to three percent, the other Divine Transformation Opportunities of the Primordial Soul Sword Sect could only improve the chances by less than half a percent at most.
Of course, for an Incarnation True Monarch, even a half percent, let alone one percent, was worth fighting for with their lives!
"Oh..."
Fang Xing remained noncommittal, "Fire Dragon Junior Nephew... regarding the future of the Iron Sword Gate, what are your plans?"
"This..." Fire Dragon True Monarch was taken aback, then quickly bowed deeply, "Please instruct me, Senior Uncle."
"My Dark Kui Island is for my own use, so I can't give it to you... But there's another Dark Sky Island nearby, also a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein... Since I conquered the Dark Sky Gate, I've been too lazy to manage it. Over time, it's been occupied by some Loose Cultivators. I'll bestow it to you, Junior Nephew, as a foundation for the Iron Sword Gate!"
"Thank you, Senior Uncle, for your kindness," Fire Dragon True Monarch hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"We're all from the same Gate, no need for thanks. In the future, the Dao tradition of the Primordial Soul Sword Sect will be passed down by you... If there are outstanding disciples in your sect in the future, bring them to see me. I can even pass down the Ethereal Sword Sutra."
Fang Xing smiled.
He had received too much from the legacy of the Primordial Soul Sword Sect, and he could repay a part of it through passing down the lineage.
However, he was too lazy to do it himself, so he left it to Fire Dragon True Monarch and the Iron Sword Gate.
'Tai Bai Sword Immortal should have no problem cultivating to the Late-stage Primordial Spirit. I can just capture him and put him to work... If he can break through to Divine Transformation, I'll directly appoint him as the Supreme Elder of the Iron Sword Gate, and all problems will be solved.'
Fang Xing silently praised himself, not considering whether Tai Bai Sword Immortal would be willing or not.
Anyway, even if the other party reached Divine Transformation, they would still be far from being his match.
Even this Cultivation Avatar could easily crush the other party.
'...My speed of breaking through to Divine Transformation will far surpass his.'
With these thoughts, Fang Xing restored his original appearance and returned to the Sea City of Dark Kui Island.
"What...?"
Hong Wanjin couldn't help but stare when he saw this scene.
Fang Xing arrived at the Teleportation Hall and saw a tragic scene.
Fire Dragon True Monarch might have had some reservations, but Dark Cloud Great True Monarch had no taboos in his rush for time.
All the cultivators present, except for Ni Huolong, were already dead.
"Island Master..."
Ni Huolong's clothes were stained with blood as he stepped forward and bowed, "This subordinate has failed in his duty..."
"Enough..."
Fang Xing looked around, and his voice echoed throughout the area, "Just now, Dark Cloud Great True Monarch violated the rules of Dark Kui Island and has been slain by this Island Master. You may return to your duties, and the deceased will be heavily compensated..."
"Dark Cloud Great True Monarch, a Late-stage Primordial Spirit cultivator, was not only not driven back but... killed?"
The representatives of various forces looked at each other, trembling all over, and hurried back to spread the news everywhere.
From this day on, the name of the Dark Kui Island Master truly resounded throughout the entire vast sea Immortal Cultivation world.
