Chapter 433: The Kill
Chapter 433: The Kill
Under the massive shadow of the peach wood, a dense fog enveloped the area, carrying a force that disoriented one's spiritual sense.
Fang Xing flapped his wings, stirring up a gale.
Whoosh!
The fog churned, occasionally revealing glimpses of azure mountains and emerald lakes.
Just then, Bai Yuan Wu Qi's nose twitched, and he immediately transformed into a white shadow and pounced forward.
The fog parted, revealing a crimson Immortal Peach suspended in mid-air, surrounded by rich spiritual energy that formed a circle of crimson light, keeping it afloat.
"A Crimson Immortal Peach?"
Fang Xing's eyes lit up, secretly marveling at Wu Qi's impressive skills.
At the very least, his olfactory secret technique had been honed to perfection.
Just then, the fog surged like a tide, and two wolf shadows appeared on the opposite side.
They charged like the wind, their speed surpassing Wu Qi's.
One of the giant wolves extended its sharp claws, grabbing the crimson Immortal Peach, which then disappeared.
"Hmm? The Azure Emperor Palace, the Celestial Wolf Division's Wu Xie brothers?"
Wu Qi frowned, staring at the two giant wolves.
The giant wolves, upon seeing Fang Xing and the White Ape, let out a cold laugh and transformed into two figures wearing wolf cloaks with emerald green eyes: "A demon from Boundless Mountain... Hmph, as a demon, you don't respect the Azure Emperor and instead side with neutral forces. You deserve to die!"
"Wu Xie brothers, don't go too far."
The White Ape's face turned crimson, revealing sharp fangs, and he raised a black iron staff in his hand: "Hand over the Crimson Immortal Peach, and we'll spare you today. Otherwise, we'll beat you to death with our sticks!"
"Arrogant!"
The two demons with wolf hides and green eyes exchanged a glance and suddenly scattered.
One of them leaped lightly and transformed into a demon wolf, its fur standing on end like spines.
A dazzling light flashed from its fur, and rule threads appeared, weaving into a set of armor.
In the blink of an eye, the giant wolf donned a 'Law Armor'!
This was the application of the comprehension of the Rule Body in close combat.
Clang!
The giant wolf's claws seemed to be covered in claw gloves, and it pressed down forcefully.
The void shattered, and a blue wolf claw appeared before Wu Qi.
"Heaven-Shaking Stick!"
Wu Qi pointed his black iron staff, seemingly freezing the elements of earth, fire, and water, causing the chaotic void to part.
Then, the black staff and the wolf's claw gloves connected, and terrifying rule traces instantly spread for dozens of li, causing countless clouds to boil.
"Hmm?"
Fang Xing's eyebrows furrowed, and he saw another giant wolf leap out from the shadows, its fangs incredibly sharp as it bit down.
Within this bite, it seemed to possess a black hole that could devour and crush everything.
"Devouring Law?"
He nodded in his heart and saw the giant wolf biting his own hind leg.
Crack! Crack!
On countless dragon scales, firelight flickered, and a terrifying aura surged into the sky. The mere physical body caused the surrounding void to constantly fluctuate.
The devouring black line from the giant wolf's mouth landed on the black-red dragon scales and disintegrated instantly!
Not only that, but the giant wolf also let out a mournful cry, retreating several steps, and several bloodstained teeth fell out.
"So hard..."
"Not good, run!"
The demon wolf, whose teeth had suffered a heavy blow, let out a mournful howl and shouted at his brother who was still fighting with Wu Qi.
They were both princes of the Celestial Wolf Division and naturally knew of Fang Xing's formidable power.
His physical body alone was almost comparable to a seven or eight-fold Essence Spirit Realm cultivator!
'Such a formidable physique, even Imperial Blood couldn't possess... Could it be... Imperial Bloodline?! No... Even with Imperial Blood, it's unlikely to have such a physique.'
The giant wolf merged into the wind, its figure about to dissipate.
"Trying to run now? Is it too late?"
A layer of illusory gray airflow appeared around Fang Xing, and he suddenly utilized the Time Law to enhance himself.
In an instant, his speed increased several times, and he caught up to the giant wolf, extending his dragon claw.
Within this claw attack, he not only accelerated himself but also slightly slowed down his opponent's time.
This was the Time Gun Technique from the 'Moment of Time'!
The giant wolf let out a mournful howl, and countless treasure-level flying needles appeared, landing on Fang Xing's Black Dragon body with the sound of rain on banana leaves.
Crack! Crack!
These needles directly damaged the dragon scales, breaking them in half!
Whoosh!
The dragon claw, imbued with the intent of the spear technique, descended in an instant, its speed beyond belief.
The giant wolf let out a mournful cry, and its head exploded.
Boom!
The massive corpse fell to the ground, and crimson blood flowed everywhere.
"Hmm? As a demon prince, you don't even have a life-saving trump card?"
Fang Xing was a bit surprised, but he didn't know that the talismans given to him by Azure Flower Master were extremely rare even in the Celestial Demon Realm.
Even princes of the Azure Emperor Palace didn't possess them.
"What? Brother?"
Seeing his brother, the older Wu Xie brother went into a frenzy.
He let out a mournful howl, and his fur instantly turned blood-red, with threads of crimson lightning flashing and jumping.
Strange law power converged, transforming into a blood thunderbolt.
"Not good!"
Upon seeing this, Wu Qi's black staff moved continuously, and law power also gathered, with a black pearl hidden within, sealing a single hair.
A flash of light!
A 'White Ape' identical to Wu Qi appeared, was struck by the blood thunderbolt, and instantly turned into ashes...
"Die!"
Wu Qi's stick shadows converged, and his black staff resembled a pillar supporting the heavens, heavily smashing into the giant wolf's waist.
Snap!
The giant wolf rolled, and despite its severe injuries, it remained agile, retreating swiftly.
But it was already too late.
In the sky above, a black shadow flashed by.
Then, a dragon claw descended, pressing down on the wolf's skull.
Pshh!
The dragon claw pierced through the skull and into the brain, slicing through the void with countless lines, instantly dismembering the Celestial Wolf Prince into pieces...
"So weak."
Fang Xing flicked the dragon claw, causing a few drops of blood to scatter.
"Black Dragon Brother... What about your physique?"
Wu Qi was a little taken aback.
The Wu Xie brothers were princes of the Azure Emperor Palace, and in terms of status and cultivation, they were on par with the core members like themselves.
Yet, two of them had died in the Peach Valley Mystic Realm!
If the Celestial Wolf Division were to find out, there would surely be Celestial Demons going insane.
But Fang Xing didn't bother with such matters. He had joined Boundless Mountain to gain a powerful background, to avoid being casually killed by a Great Virtuoso.
The top members of major powers, daring to venture out, must be prepared for the possibility of their demise.
He casually picked up two spatial equipment, and with his current mastery of the Void Doctrine, breaking the restrictions on spatial treasures was effortless.
Then... a red immortal peach was retrieved.
"Brother Wu, how about we split the spoils of these two demons equally?"
Fang Xing spoke, looking at Wu Qi.
Wu Qi repeatedly waved his hands, "This time, defeating... no, killing the Wu Xie brothers, Black Dragon Brother has made an outstanding contribution. I don't even deserve one-tenth of the spoils..."
He thought that although he could handle one prince, it would take at least a hundred moves to defeat him, and killing him was out of the question.
If the Wu Xie brothers attacked together, he would have no chance of victory.
He never expected that Black Dragon, who was originally just brought along as insurance, had a strength far beyond that of the 77th-ranked core member!
'During the core member assessment, Black Dragon must have hidden his true abilities.'
Wu Qi thought to himself, while his attitude towards Fang Xing became even more respectful.
In the Demon Race, unlike the Human Race, there was no pretentiousness, only pragmatism. Since Black Dragon was a strong cultivator, he deserved respect!
"Brother Wu... Let's leave this place first."
Fang Xing looked at the red immortal peach in his hand and felt his body's longing for it.
It was a natural attraction, and he knew that consuming it would bring him immense benefits.
'After refining the Zhu Long Essence Blood, I have Imperial Blood, and Black Water Essence Energy is also top-grade Essence Energy... It's extremely compatible with Black Dragon's body.'
'Now, with this combination, my Essence Energy is just one step away from Immortal Grade. Probably just one red immortal peach will be enough to promote my Essence Energy to Immortal Grade!'
A thought emerged in Fang Xing's mind.
Since it was possible, he decided to enhance his Essence Energy first.
As for the issue of Essence Energy dropping after breaking through to the Essence Spirit Realm, that was something to consider later.
Moreover... perhaps during this period, he would have already perfected his Immortal Grade cultivation, and wouldn't need to consume a large number of red immortal peaches to purify his Essence Energy after reaching the Essence Spirit Realm.
Wu Qi naturally agreed with Fang Xing's suggestion.
The two of them immediately left the central peach tree area and headed towards the entrance of the Peach Source Fortress.
Once they were out of the core zone, Fang Xing could teleport at any time, greatly increasing their safety, allowing him to refine the red immortal peach's power without worry.
Just as the two demons left, in the core zone, on the massive immortal peach tree.
The wooden face seemed to move slightly, and its eyes gazed in the direction where Fang Xing had left, deep in thought...
...
In a picturesque peach grove surrounded by mountains and clear waters.
Countless peach blossoms filled the sky, and Bai Yuan lay on a green rock, with a pile of white peaches in front of him.
He casually took a bite and looked at Fang Xing, "Black Dragon Brother... You haven't exchanged the red immortal peach to enhance your Essence Energy quality? We core members... all have exchange quotas."
"Enhancing Essence Energy quality is naturally good, but I was thinking about my cultivation..."
Fang Xing lay on the ground and swallowed the red immortal peach in one mouthful.
Unlike the green immortal peach, the red immortal peach had an exquisite taste, and upon entering his stomach, it transformed into warm currents, nourishing his entire body.
Fang Xing couldn't help but circulate his Black Water Essence Energy, and within his body, it was as if a mighty river had merged with an 'ocean'! No matter how turbulent the river, compared to the profound and vast ocean, it was insignificant.
"Is this... Immortal Grade Essence Energy?"
Fang Xing raised a dragon claw, "Immortal Grade Essence Energy, and it's ten times that of top-grade Essence Energy... I feel like I could take on several of my previous selves..."
The reason it wasn't ten or a hundred was naturally because his current combat strength was above his physique.
A tenfold increase in Essence Energy didn't have a significant impact on his overall strength.
"I feel like I'm about to reach the limit of the Mortal Realm..."
Fang Xing stood up, feeling his body filled with abundant Essence Energy, an astonishing physique, and his spirit had reached some kind of peak.
He only needed to reach the third stage of Time Doctrine perception to immediately break through to the Essence Spirit Realm!
"The Nine Origin Star Body Forging Secret Technique is only for forging the body... But with such a powerful physique, there are requirements for the soul and Essence Energy as well. After upgrading the hardware, the software must keep up too."
Fang Xing suspected that the reason he was just a hair away from breaking through to the Neutron Star Combat Body was probably because he hadn't reached the Essence Spirit Realm yet!
