"How powerful!"
On the commander's platform.
A man with a towering physique, purplish-red eyes, and skin so pale it was almost bloodless, suddenly stood up.
"The man is a peak Grandmaster, his armor is also a treasure armor, blades and swords, even True Vigor, cannot harm him!"
"Make everyone fall back; I'll go confront him!"
This person, naturally, was the head of the Mandate Reversal Society—Pang Fei!
He let out a low shout, his True Vigor overflowing, clearly pervading his entire body!
Not only that, as this man's demon-god-like body moved, his spirit mysteriously merged with all things, seemingly uniting with the imposing aura of this vast army, and in mid-air, condensed an indistinct black flood dragon, pressing down towards Fang Xi!
Mental secret art!
Pang Fei's strength had absolutely already reached the pinnacle of Da Liang!
......
Swish!
Fang Xi vertically slashed with his sword, discovering that no one dared to block his path.
Even the continuous barrage of arrows and hidden weapons attacking him had vanished.
What followed, however, was an even more terrifying pressure!
The surroundings suddenly darkened, and a black one-horned flood dragon, with a mutilated body and many parts only skeletal, menacingly pounced towards him!
If it were an ordinary martial artist, or even a Grandmaster, under the oppression of this mighty aura, their moves would even be half as slow as usual, leaving them to be butchered at will!
"Son of Heaven Dragon Fist? !"
"Within a single punch, it contains both grand momentum and spirit secret arts—truly a peerless martial art of this era!"
He let out a sigh of appreciation, his Divine Consciousness like a sword, instantly breaking through the oppressive aura, and saw a figure like a god or a demon in front of him, delivering a punch!
This punch was as heavy as a mountain, seemingly carrying the strength of a myriad of chaotic troops!
A single man, an army unto himself!
"Secret Art: Primordial Limitless!"
Fang Xi executed the Primordial Limitless secret art with his sword, without any need for defense, slashing out with a single sword strike!
It was clearly a mutually destructive fighting style!
Pang Fei's brow furrowed; he had no choice but to change his punch into a parry, his hands like ghostly shadows, continuously striking the sword's body eighteen times, blocking this sword strike.
"Pang Fei!"
Fang Xi roared: "The momentum you borrow, in the end, is not truly yours!"
He abruptly flung away his sword, his right hand, with five fingers joined, transformed into an overwhelmingly powerful punch!
"Secret Art: Son of Heaven's Dragon Command!"
Pang Fei countered with a punch; every move and stance was incomparably perfect. Even in their transitions, one could see a fragmented dragon shape gathering on his body—that was True Vigor condensed to its limit!
This person had indeed taken the first step towards 'True Vigor Manifestation'!
Crack!
Two streams of True Vigor from their fists intersected; that dragon-shaped True Vigor actually seemed to gain a life of its own, bypassing Fang Xi and directly attacking his back.
Bang!
Hum!
Amidst a dragon's roar, Fang Xi's True Vigor outer layer was torn apart, and immediately after, the True Vigor struck his back.
But the next moment, it was Pang Fei who was surprised!
He could feel the destructive power of his dragon-shaped True Vigor; most of it was firmly blocked by the Spirit Serpent Armor.
The remaining slight aftershocks could be fully withstood by a Grandmaster's physique.
The two moved back and forth, crisscrossing, True Vigor overflowing in all directions.
"No!"
Soldiers who were a little slower to escape were caught in it and instantly torn to shreds.
Weapons forged from refined steel also became tattered and broken, as if twisted by an invisible massive force. . .
On the ground, countless clods of earth rolled, as if an earth dragon had stirred!
The two fought faster and faster, like two scarlet flood dragons, continuously sweeping through the chaotic army. . .
Half an hour later.
Upon a heap of ruins and wreckage.
Pang Fei's upper body clothing was completely torn, revealing numerous fist imprints.
"I. . . I'm defeated!"
His dragon-shaped True Vigor had long since dissipated; his aura now like that of a dying old man.
"Momentum that can be borrowed can also be reclaimed. . ."
"The aftershocks of our great battle forced the chaotic army to flee and disperse. . . Once the people scattered, that momentum was lost, and you no longer had the army's imposing aura!"
Facing Pang Fei, Fang Xi spoke in a low voice.
"What a pity. . . If I had become the supreme ruler, my Son of Heaven Dragon Fist would never have lost!"
Pang Fei burst into hearty laughter, and then spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments.
"The Son of Heaven Dragon Fist is indeed a miraculous and peerless art. I wonder if you would be willing to pass it on to me?"
Fang Xi smiled: "Allow me, then, to see the scenery beyond Grandmaster on your behalf. . ."
......
Recorded in the historical annals of Da Liang.
In the third month of the first year of Emperor Ming's reign, the chaotic army attacked Three Yuan City.
There was a Grandmaster named 'Fang Xi' who took action, killed the 'Three Peerless Grandmasters' of the Mandate Reversal Society, and finally fiercely battled Pang Fei on the battlefield.
Wherever he passed, blood flowed like rivers!
Pang Fei was defeated and perished, and the chaotic army dispersed because of it!
As for Grandmaster Fang Xi, he departed with a graceful flourish, like a divine dragon, his presence seen but his whereabouts unknown, and was honored as the 'Supreme Grandmaster'! !
......
The Southern Barrens Cultivation World.
Myriad Islands Lake.
At the bottom of the lake.
The 'Supreme Grandmaster' Fang Xi released a Green Turtle Shield with one hand, held the Golden Flood Dragon Saber in the other, and cautiously poked his head out from the lake surface.
After confirming no one was around, he immediately controlled the Black Feather Boat and fled far away. . .
"Indeed. . . several months had passed; anyone would think the culprit had fled."
Fang Xi piloted the Black Feather Boat, circled around again, before returning to the vicinity of Peach Blossom Island, with a contemplative expression:
"The Treasure Ship Market issue is resolved, but Peach Blossom Island is not yet. . ."
Previously, Wei Yi Xin went out to seek opportunities and then perished.
Although the mainstream guess was that the eldest of the Kou Brothers did it, Fang Xi still felt something was off.
Theoretically speaking, in order to preserve the foundation of Peach Blossom Island, the Feng family and Mo family could also have made a move!
Even, it could even be the Golden Tooth Old Freak from Golden Flame Island!
"No matter who it is, anyone who obstructs my tree planting must die!"
"No matter what imperial ambitions, or family schemes. . . as long as the people are dead, it's all for naught!"
As for the five late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators who ambushed him, although Fang Xi did not retaliate against their families.
But after losing a top-tier cultivator, their families would inevitably suffer heavy blows and be coveted by powerful enemies, perhaps even outright ceasing to exist. . .
The Feng family and Mo family were also like this!
"Others might need evidence, but I don't need evidence; I only need possibility!"
Fang Xi's expression was stern.
The Spirit Serpent Armor, the Profound Iron Sword. . . were all powerful artifacts that had not been revealed to the public.
Combined with his strength, even the Golden Tooth Old Freak dared to have a fight!
......
One month later.
Peach Blossom Island.
Emerald Cliff.
Fang Xi landed outside the Small Cloud and Rain Array, took out a token and gently waved it, and immediately, a passage appeared.
Inside the passage, there were several sound transmission talismans.
"Finally, I'm back. . ."
"I even delayed the spring planting. After replanting, this year's batch of spirit rice will definitely see a drop in yield. . ."
Fang Xi sighed, grabbed a sound transmission talisman, and found it was from Hua Chan Juan.
This female cultivator gave birth to a daughter in winter, named 'Wei Yi Xi', and invited him to drink a celebratory cup.
However, Fang Xi was already not at home at the time, so he naturally missed it.
Besides Hua Chan Juan, there were a few other sound transmission talismans, from Ruan Xing Ling, Mu Wen, and others. . .
They either had something to discuss or simply exchanged pleasantries, and when they didn't receive a reply from Fang Xi, they presumed he was in secluded cultivation or out.
'When the time comes, I'll just use secluded cultivation as an excuse. . . '
Fang Xi arrived inside his courtyard house, inspected it, and found no traces of anyone having broken into the formation; he nodded in satisfaction.
He lifted the meditation cushion and entered the underground cave through a secret passage.
Immediately after, Fang Xi once again transmigrated to Da Liang.
A moment later.
In the empty underground cave, Fang Xi suddenly appeared, along with a demon beast!
It was Taisui!
This white fleshy lump, after arriving in the Southern Barrens Cultivation World, seemed to be trembling all over.
Beside it.
Fang Xi held the Golden Flood Dragon Saber, his gaze cold.
If Taisui showed any signs of breaking free from the Blood Contract's shackles, he would immediately act and slay this demon!
Buzz! Buzz!
The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in, forming a small vortex!
Taisui's fleshy lump expanded, rapidly devouring the spiritual energy, as if a parched land had finally received sweet rain!
The demonic qi on its body also grew rapidly, quickly breaking through the limit of low-grade first-order, reaching the mid-grade first-order level!
"Indeed, the Da Liang world has barren spiritual energy; these demon beasts are all premature births. . ."
"Once they arrive in the Southern Barrens, they immediately devour vast amounts of spiritual energy, and have a good chance of advancing!"
The Golden Flood Dragon Saber in Fang Xi's hand hummed.
However, when he noticed that Taisui's demonic qi stabilized after breaking through to mid-grade first-order, and the Blood Contract still remained, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
His choice of a low-grade first-order Taisui was indeed incredibly correct!
If it had been those exceptionally talented high-grade first-order demon beasts, they might have directly broken through to second-order, causing a huge mess!
At this moment, Fang Xi once again observed Taisui and found that its body had expanded considerably.
From its original size of a water vat, it had grown to the size of a small house. On its body surface, there were also clusters of cloud patterns.
Rip!
Fang Xi stepped forward and directly cut off a large lump of Taisui meat.
Taisui wiggled a bit and rapidly healed its wound.
"Hmm. . . still a plant-demon, just like a vegetative state!"
Fang Xi looked at the large lump of Taisui meat, at least several tens of jin in his hand; his throat couldn't help but twitch.
After advancing, this Taisui meat seemed. . . even more fragrant? !
"Mid-grade first-order demon beast meat, and an endless supply. . . there's hope for cultivating the tree, and hope for forming a spiritual physique!"
A faint smile appeared on Fang Xi's face.
The next moment, he slapped his storage bag and tossed out a bag of 'Scarlet Blood Spirit Rice'.
Taisui unconsciously fed, enveloping and dissolving the spirit rice. . .
After its wounds healed, it actually continued to grow flesh outwards at a visible rate.
"Very good. . . Using mortal grain, it takes about ten jin to make Taisui grow one jin of meat. . . If using Scarlet Blood Spirit Rice, the ratio is roughly one to one. . ."
Fang Xi secretly noted the ratio.
"However, I'm not in a hurry to plant the tree now. . . I'll wait a while. The measures I set up earlier should have taken effect, right?"
He went to Da Liang again, and meticulously organized the spirit materials and supplies that he had checked multiple times and confirmed to be without issue, sorting them one by one.
After completing all of this, Fang Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his courtyard, and prepared to send a sound transmission talisman to Ruan Xing Ling to report his safe return.
Splash!
At this moment, a sudden wave surged in the pond.
A large green fish flopped onto the shore with a splash, its dead fish eyes staring intently at Fang Xi, seemingly still carrying a hint of grievance.
"Oh?"
Fang Xi slapped his forehead, realizing what he had forgotten.
He went on a long journey, and ended up forgetting to feed the fish. . .
Fortunately, this large green fish was a spirit beast, and was nourished by the spiritual energy of the Small Cloud and Rain Array, otherwise, it would have starved to death long ago. . .
"It even knows to beg for food now. Has it gotten a little smarter?"
Fang Xi rubbed his chin, kicked the large green fish back into the pond, and by the way, scattered a handful of Scarlet Blood Spirit Rice into it.
This rice didn't taste good. He would at most use it to brew wine or feed demon beasts. He certainly wouldn't eat it himself.
In the Treasure Ship Market, he had already purchased other superior spirit rice seeds, just waiting to plant them.
