Chapter 776: Successive Annihilations (Bonus Chapter: Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)
"Two seventh-rank alien entities, two Void Amalgamation cultivators. . ."
Fang Xi stood, sword in hand, gazing calmly at the four Void Amalgamation cultivators.
The Sword Son was nothing but a waste. Even if he exhausted his entire lifespan, it merely reduced mine by less than a thousand years.
Thus, facing these Void Amalgamation cultivators, he felt immense confidence in his heart.
He suddenly smiled: "My conflict with the Sword Son was a private matter. Now that the Sword Son has met his end, who among you wishes to avenge him?"
"This old man, Jiang Wangzhi, greets this fellow Daoist."
Daoist Jiang wore a solemn, righteous expression: "Within Celestial Sage City, combat is strictly forbidden. This old ancestor, as a guardian cultivator, is compelled to intervene. I ask for fellow Daoist's understanding. . ."
"It's an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure!"
Around Venerable Blackflame, the jet-black fire crows cawed chaotically, revealing his agitated state of mind.
He stared intently at the Fifth-Generation Green He Sword in Fang Xi's hand, an uncontrollable glint of greed surfacing in his eyes.
After all, Fang Xi was only at the early Void Amalgamation stage, while he himself had entered the mid Void Amalgamation stage many years ago!
If he could obtain this flying sword, plus the one from the Sword Son, wouldn't he be able to reproduce most of the Immortal Abode Rare Treasure's power? !
At that time, even those late-stage Void Amalgamation Grand Cultivators on Trapped Sky Island, he wouldn't fear them in the slightest.
For high-stage cultivators, while they usually wouldn't easily fight to the death, that was only because the temptations weren't great enough!
If faced with temptations like breaking through major realms, extending their lifespan, ruling a domain, or even ascending to immortality. . . most cultivators would tear off their righteous masks, revealing their cruelest and most ferocious side!
This sliver of greed flashed and vanished.
Venerable Blackflame was very clear that the Sword Son's divine abilities and sword arts were no less than his own. As someone capable of slaying the Sword Son, his combat prowess was naturally extraordinary.
Even if he wanted to seize the Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, he would have to plan meticulously.
"Are you of the Black Heaven Pavilion also here for this old man?"
Fang Xi glanced at Venerable Blackflame. This person was clearly not a local guardian cultivator, and very likely a cultivator from the Sword Son's faction.
Then, he turned his gaze to Fairy Peony.
During that grand auction, he had seen these two seventh-rank existences, naturally knowing that both were top figures of the Black Heaven Pavilion.
"You are. . . that Wang Family cultivator. . ."
Fairy Peony's countenance remained unchanged, then a faint smile appeared: "This humble one has never met fellow Daoist, but I heard that fellow Daoist had some friction with the Black Heaven Pavilion. For such a small matter, this humble one is willing to act as a mediator, to have both parties cease their enmity. How about it?"
"No need."
Fang Xi let out a cold laugh. The Black Heaven Pavilion had been drawn here by the Wang Family Ancestor, and now, with a light dismissal, was he expected to feel grateful?
He then looked at Venerable Blackflame again: "Your Excellency. . . are you perhaps from the 'Heavenly Luo Shop'?"
The Heavenly Luo Shop was the business where the snail-alien shopkeeper resided.
Venerable Blackflame's expression shifted, but such matters were easily ascertained with a little inquiry, making it impossible to lie. He could only say: "This old man has many properties, and among them, there does seem to be a Heavenly Luo Shop. . ."
"That's excellent. I have now confirmed that I won't be killing the wrong person."
Fang Xi let out a hearty laugh, his scarlet battle robe flapping wildly.
The 'Erwu Soul-Slaying Gourd' in his hand suddenly opened its mouth at some unknown moment.
"Please, treasure, turn around!"
As Fang Xi lightly commanded, a fine golden line appeared.
The remnant-blade flying dagger shimmered with iridescent light, rune after rune flashing, subtly drawing upon the laws of heaven and earth, and slashed across Venerable Blackflame's Dantian vital point.
Caw! Caw!
Those few fire crows shrieked, actually being affected by the blade qi, and extinguished instantly.
In the void, a large amount of black feathers floated down, then turned to ash mid-air.
Venerable Blackflame's Nine Crows Great Art was famously renowned among the Void Amalgamation cultivators of Trapped Sky Island.
Even Jiang Wangzhi had not expected Fang Xi to be so audacious.
Surrounded by four Void Amalgamation cultivators, he dared to strike first, and with a lethal blow at that!
And Venerable Blackflame's protective fire crows were actually unable to obstruct it in the slightest, being effortlessly annihilated by the blade qi.
Whoosh!
A black light flashed, and dozens of miles away, a Nascent Soul appeared.
It was a full two feet tall. At this moment, it formed hand seals, and streaks of jet-black fire spread from the Nascent Soul, transforming into a body identical to its previous one.
A Void Amalgamation Nascent Soul could already achieve semi-materialization, directly manipulating the vital essence of heaven and earth for combat, without much difficulty.
However, Venerable Blackflame's Nascent Soul at this moment had a blade mark on its chest, which faintly cut open its Dharma body, revealing the rich Immortal Source Qi flowing within.
Although Fang Xi's previous strike did not instantly kill Venerable Blackflame, it severely wounded his Nascent Soul!
As he made his move, Fairy Peony and the seventh-rank Earth Clan member attacked simultaneously.
Fairy Peony lightly plucked a single petal in her hand, and with a flick of her jade-like finger, a sky full of petals drifted down.
The seventh-rank Earth Clan member, meanwhile, let out a roar, raising a massive rock fist high, like a divine hammer, and smashed it down with a crash!
Humming!
On Fang Xi's person, the scarlet battle robe, embroidered with silver phoenixes, flashed wildly with light. Streaks of void rifts appeared, devouring all the petals in the sky.
The towering rock giant's punch landed, only to be sliced through by a void fissure.
CRACK!
That massive arm dropped to the ground, as if triggering a minor earthquake, with countless dust particles swirling wildly.
At the same time, Fang Xi's figure flickered, appearing before Venerable Blackflame, and gave him a strange smile.
Venerable Blackflame was practically scared out of his wits. On the 'Black Crow Gourd' in his hand, numerous jet-black patterns emerged, and from it, fire crow after fire crow emerged.
These fire crows were actually manifestations of flames, and had been refined by him using secret arts, being seventh-rank demonic flames!
In everyday combat, a single black fire crow could exhaust a late-stage Return to Void cultivator.
But at this moment, Venerable Blackflame, fearing an insufficient number of black fire crows, repeatedly formed hand seals, causing crow after crow of black fire to coil above his head, forming a 'Myriad Crows Grand Array'!
Not only that, these fire crows spat out black flames, seemingly amplifying his magical power, making them first-rate Dao soldiers!
CRASH!
Fang Xi ignored everything, clasping his five fingers together to form a fist.
After his body cultivation reached the level of a seventh-rank demon beast, Fang Xi had gradually grown fond of the feeling of overpowering ten techniques with a single force.
No matter how many tricks you conjure, I will simply strike with one punch!
If you can withstand it, you live!
If you can't, you die!
On his fist, four-colored light flashed and vanished, and faintly, the long cry of a phoenix echoed.
The scarlet long robe, formed from the Blood Fiend Banner, flapped loudly. Phoenix sigils emerged one by one, transforming into void black holes, and devoured the black fire crows.
BANG!
Fang Xi's fist smashed heavily onto the Black Crow Gourd, sending it flying.
On the surface of the Black Crow Gourd, a subtle crack even appeared.
With another flicker, he appeared inside Venerable Blackflame's protective light barrier, a yellow-skinned gourd appearing in his hand.
"No. . ."
Under Venerable Blackflame's gaze, filled with terror, that yellow-skinned gourd suddenly turned its mouth, and a scorching golden light shot out from its opening!
PFFT!
A golden line flashed and vanished, and Venerable Blackflame's Nascent Soul was instantly split in two, and then taken into the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
In a flash, Fang Xi had slain a mid-stage Void Amalgamation cultivator.
At this moment, Fairy Peony and the seventh-rank Earth Clan member, who had just intended to attack, had only just made a single move, and were already dumbfounded by the turn of events.
"Fellow Daoist's divine might is immense. This humble one is willing to admit defeat!"
Fairy Peony immediately curtsied softly, a pitiable expression on her face.
To be fair, when Fang Xi revealed his hostility, she and her companion had acted immediately, their decision was not flawed in the slightest.
If they didn't seize the chance while Fang Xi was facing three opponents, to unite with Human Venerable Blackflame and suppress him, they would likely be defeated one by one. . . After all, he was a ruthless individual who had slain the Sword Son, and he made no attempt to hide his hostility!
But what Fairy Peony hadn't anticipated was that Fang Xi's strength was so astonishing!
Despite being merely at the early Void Amalgamation stage, his divine abilities, magical power, and treasures were all incredibly shocking. He had actually slain Venerable Blackflame in just a few moves.
And at this point, her sky-full of petals had only just been completely swallowed by the numerous void rifts.
Jiang Wangzhi had originally been watching the show with a smile, but after seeing this scene, he was also so scared that he retreated a hundred miles, summoning an enormous five-colored koi fish, and hid behind his spirit beast, his eyes filled with uncertainty and alarm.
"My Black Heaven Pavilion has already conceded, yet Your Excellency continues to press so hard. Are you not afraid this humble one will report to the Pavilion Master?"
The Pavilion Master was none other than the master of the Black Market!
Even among all the Void Amalgamation cultivators, he was an outstanding figure.
Fairy Peony felt Fang Xi's icy gaze, and couldn't help but invoke her greatest backing.
"Even if the Master of the Black Market arrived today, he wouldn't be able to save the two of you. . ."
Fang Xi's figure flickered, appearing beside Fairy Peony. His Heavenly Demon True Body condensed, one arm shimmering with various runes, as if wearing a colorful arm guard, and he delivered an elbow strike!
Pfft!
The void before Fairy Peony shattered, and a massive peony flower appeared, enveloping her in layers.
Then, that elbow strike directly hit the sky-full of flower illusions, causing countless petals to vanish into ashes.
The Blood Fiend Banner on Fang Xi's person shook, accompanied by a resounding roar, and a silver Heavenly Phoenix flew out.
Wherever its wings passed, a silver-white arc of light suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.
Swish!
The crescent-shaped silver-white arc of light flashed, and swept past the rock giant's massive body.
Its hard outer shell and thick internal rock seemed to have no effect whatsoever against this silver-white arc of light, being sliced open one after another, revealing incredibly smooth cuts.
The power of the void was inherently incredibly sharp!
Between heaven and earth, countless streams of Grand Unity Azure Wood Divine Light converged, forming towering green mountains, pressing down upon the seventh-rank Earth Clan member's fractured body.
Vines rapidly grew, their surfaces seemingly adorned with dark-green seal script, and pierced into the Earth Clan member's body.
...
Jiang Wangzhi had cultivated the Dao for many years, facing countless life-or-death crises.
But this time, a sense of terrifying threat, one he had never felt before, arose in his heart, and he continuously retreated.
Moments later.
He saw Fang Xi holding an earth-yellow orb in his left hand, and in his other hand, a strange little figure resembling a flower fairy. Fang Xi approached him: "Do you recognize these two items, fellow Daoist? Please enlighten me. . ."
"I wouldn't dare to enlighten you. . ."
Jiang Wangzhi replied expressionlessly: "The one in fellow Daoist's left hand should be the 'Heart of the Earth', the core of the Earth Clan members. With such quality, it's even sufficient as material for a semi-immortal artifact. . . As for the one in your right hand, isn't it Fairy Peony's seventh-rank Life-Bound Flower Soul? If refined into a 'Flower Soul Pill', it would be a great aid for us in cultivating Divine Consciousness."
"So that's how it is. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for enlightening me."
Fang Xi revealed a faint smile.
