Chapter 851: Ultimate Kill
Chapter 851: Ultimate Kill
The Lu Xing Great Sage appeared colossal in size, yet his flight speed was astonishingly fast.
As someone who had held the title of one of the Seven Great Sages of the Demon race for many years, remaining unyielding, it was naturally impossible for him to have any weaknesses.
Otherwise, he would have long since been overthrown by the endless stream of challengers.
With a flash of escape light!
The Lu Xing Great Sage appeared before Ji Feixue as if teleporting, his five fingers pressed together, forming a fist like the Fan Tian Seal.
Screech!
Suddenly!
From the void came several clear cries of an avian beast.
“Perish! ”
The Lu Xing Great Sage changed his fist technique, and streaks of white light emerged from the void. The true form of a six-tusked giant elephant charged forth recklessly, instantly smashing through the seven-colored fire bird.
“I'll hold back this demon, you go! ”
Fang Xi, wearing his green bamboo hat, transmitted a message. In his hand, the 'Five Fires Seven Birds Fan' fluttered once more.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wind fueled the flames!
Amidst the howling gale, fire phoenixes, flaming green luans, and great Rocs spread their wings, soaring towards the Lu Xing Great Sage. . .
Whoosh!
Ji Feixue transformed into a streak of white light, shooting backward without a single wasted word.
When Fang Xi used to read popular novels, whenever such a situation occurred, the female character would always express her thanks, or even stall with a few extra words, making the scene feel incredibly melodramatic.
Yet, truly high-level cultivators, at such a moment, wouldn't say half a word; they would retreat immediately!
Clearly, while there might still be indecisive female cultivators in the cultivation world, they absolutely wouldn't survive to reach the Void Amalgamation stage, and would only drag down their own people!
The Lu Xing Great Sage wouldn't waste any more words with Fang Xi either; with a flicker of his body, he was already before Fang Xi.
The terrifying seven-colored flames burned against his body, yet they were easily repelled by a layer of his hide armor. . .
“A mere mid-stage Void Amalgamation cultivator! ”
The Lu Xing Great Sage's eyes were savage and bloodthirsty, his body incomparably tall, casting a shadow that oppressed all beings. He lowered his head to look down at Fang Xi, grabbing downwards with his five fingers!
His five fingers were thick and gnarled, and with this grab, streaks of Heavenly Demon Qi surged across the void, asserting pure might!
Fang Xi even suspected that he had already employed a sliver of the 'Law of Strength' he had comprehended!
This grab was simply like the 'Sword-Breaks-All-Laws' that sword cultivators ultimately pursued; any spell would be shattered with a single strike!
‘Ji Feixue is quite intelligent. . . ’
He muttered to himself. Under the secret art of 'Myriad Manifestations Transformation', he had already transformed into a dark black Xuanwu!
On the surface of this Xuanwu, countless patterns converged, faintly forming coiled serpent markings!
Xuanwu!
Or rather, Fang Xi had used his 'Myriad Manifestations True Demon Arts' to simulate the form of a Xuanwu, the strongest in defense, even basing its bloodline on a small Xuanwu!
Bang!
With a single grab, the dark black Xuanwu was smashed into the ground, its carapace instantly shattering.
After all, no matter how formidable the Myriad Manifestations Transformation secret art was, or how mighty the Xuanwu's defense, it couldn't conceal the fact that the External Avatar was merely a mid-stage Void Amalgamation cultivator.
Facing a powerhouse of the Seven Great Sages of the Demon race's caliber, he was declared injured with just one blow!
‘Fortunately. . . ’
At the bottom of the deep pit, Fang Xi reverted to human form, wiping away the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth: ‘My sacrifice wasn't without value. . . ’
Within the range of his Divine Consciousness, Ji Feixue had already flown a sufficient distance.
In other words, finally, only he and the Lu Xing Great Sage remained here.
And the Lu Xing Great Sage didn't waste any more words with him, flashing again to appear before Fang Xi, his five fingers pressed together, forming a fist!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Even the void seemed to submit to the power of this fist, beginning to cooperate in oppressing Fang Xi.
A faint smile, however, appeared on the External Avatar's face. A silver light flashed beside him, and his main body materialized.
Fang Xi's main body was clad in a green robe, his expression indifferent, a dark little seal hovering in his hand.
The seal resembled jade, yet it bore faint wooden textures. The ethereal image of a Demonic Tree unfurled, sweeping out a mysterious profound light from its crown!
Countless purple dragon-script runes appeared, dyeing the profound light with a layer of purple.
“Supreme Pole Star. . . Oversee your demise! ”
Engaging in battle with a peak Void Amalgamation Seven Great Sage of the Demon race, even his main body wasn't very confident.
If he were to use his Shinto Avatar again, it would take a long time and cause too much commotion.
Anyway, since he didn't need to capture him alive this time, Fang Xi naturally chose to deliver a single, fatal blow!
At this moment, he felt his own lifespan rapidly burning away; in an instant, a thousand years of his lifespan vanished. . .
Whoosh!
The faint purple 'Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light' flashed, and the aura on Lu Xing Great Sage's body instantly dissipated.
Thud!
Its eyes were lifeless, and its peak Void Amalgamation magic power fluctuations turned into nothingness.
That powerless fist struck the External Avatar's body, but he easily caught it, then with a backhand, sealed a secret demonic spell onto it.
The Lu Xing Great Sage's body was immediately covered in dark runes, like chains.
It was precisely because of these runes that he didn't revert to his original form after death, saving Fang Xi some trouble.
“Open! ”
Fang Xi's main body smiled faintly, opening his Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm and sending the corpse inside.
Then. . .
He then vanished with a flash of silver light.
Only the External Avatar remained in place, looking dejected.
This time's action was quite successful, so his main body naturally couldn't wait to return and clear out the spoils.
But the External Avatar was left behind.
He pulled out a wine gourd, took a fierce gulp of green bamboo wine, and muttered, “A cup of wine in spring breeze with peach and plum blossoms, ten years of lamps in the night rain of the Jianghu. . . ”
“I must visit Tianyuan City. . . I still have many old friends there, and I also need to find Zhai Xingzi to help me collect treasures from the overseas immortal abodes. . . ”
Previously, Zhai Xingzi had refused Fang Xi, but Fang Xi believed that Zhai Xingzi would not refuse him again.He briefly distinguished the direction, then flew towards Tianyuan City.
...
Moments later.
The External Avatar suddenly felt a chilling sensation down his spine.
He stopped his escape light and swept his Divine Consciousness.
“Oh? To be able to discover this old man, young one, your Divine Consciousness is quite strong. . . ”
An ancient, yet childish voice came from mid-air.
Fang Xi looked up and saw a Mahayana cultivator with two childish topknots, carrying a cattail fan taller than himself, looking quite amusing.
However, he dared not show the slightest disrespect.
Because when his Divine Consciousness swept past, he found that although the child stood smiling, his presence was as if he were part of the void, making it utterly impossible to pinpoint his figure.
“Greetings, Senior Qing Xu! ”
Fang Xi immediately bowed in salutation. Regarding the Mahayana cultivators of Tianyuan City, he had naturally gathered intelligence beforehand.
And with such a distinctive physique and magical treasure, no cultivator would mistake him.
“Mmm. . . dispensed with. ”
Qing Xu Tong Zi waved his hand, sizing up Fang Xi. “This old man had nothing to do and happened to answer that girl Feixue’s plea, but now it seems it was a redundant trip. . . ”
Upon hearing this, Fang Xi regarded that female Void Amalgamation cultivator with even greater respect.
Although she ran fast, at least she knew to call for reinforcements.
It must be said, the human race's reaction was also very swift.
Facing the peak Void Amalgamation Lu Xing Great Sage, even if Jin Gangzi came, it would only be a fifty-fifty chance. Only by deploying a Mahayana cultivator could they have any certainty!
‘This Qing Xu Tong Zi coming here, it's very likely he planned to kill this Seven Great Sage of the Demon race, even if he couldn't save anyone. . . ’
‘Otherwise, there are still three other Mahayana cultivators, so why would the strongest one personally make a move? ’
Fang Xi instantly understood the logic, yet he still bowed and saluted: “Many thanks for Senior's kind intentions. . . ”
Just for the other party actively coming to his rescue, he should express his gratitude.
“Mid-stage Void Amalgamation. . . cultivating what seems to be a demonic art. . . Among our human race's Void Amalgamation cultivators, to think there's someone like you, this old man is truly ill-informed. ”
Qing Xu Tong Zi looked at Fang Xi, shaking his head as he spoke: “And. . . where is the Lu Xing Great Sage? ”
Even if this person is a mid-stage Void Amalgamation cultivator, facing a Seven Great Sage of the Demon race, how could he retreat unscathed?
“To be frank, I am 'Qing Hezi', and the Lu Xing Great Sage has already been slain by me. . . ”
The External Avatar revealed a toothy grin.
“Slain. . . ”
Qing Xu Tong Zi's expression fluctuated wildly: “Wait. . . you are Qing Hezi? Zizai Tianmo Wang. . . ”
At this moment, this human Mahayana cultivator actually somewhat believed the other party's words.
Perhaps the Lu Xing Great Sage truly was slain by this 'Qing Hezi'.
Because previously, it seemed he had caused a 'Zizai Tianmo Wang' of the Demon race to perish!
“My dispute with Zizai Tianmo Wang was a personal grudge! ”
Fang Xi cupped his fist slightly, stating with conviction: “Now that a great war for the human race is imminent, I, 'Qing Hezi', am also willing to contribute my strength to the human race! ”
...
Inside the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
The enormous corpse of a six-tusked celestial sandalwood elephant lay sprawled on the ground like a mountain.
“I'm rich, I'm rich. . . ”
Fang Xi held a scale-like Grotto-heaven Treasure, his eyes instantly lighting up: “Adding this peak seventh-stage demon beast's materials, and all these treasures. . . if I obtain even more treasures from the overseas immortal abodes later, the 'Netherworld Banner' has hope of being re-refined! ”
As one of the Seven Great Sages of the Demon race, the Lu Xing Great Sage possessed a substantial fortune, most of which was stored within Grotto-heaven Treasures.
Among them, there were even several eighth-stage spiritual materials!
According to Fang Xi's concept, if he could obtain another section of the Ginseng Fruit Tree's branch, he could definitely forge a 'quasi-eighth-stage treasure'!
And once Fang Xi's cultivation broke through to the Mahayana realm, nurturing it with immortal elemental energy would make promoting it to an eighth-stage Semi-Immortal Artifact an easy feat.
Of course, the reason he wasn't refining treasures at the moment was that he still needed to wait for the formation diagrams from the overseas immortal abodes.
“This elephant hide is excellent, it can be refined into a banner. . . and the six tusks are even more precious than the demon core. ”
“And this massive demon body, if used for meat, how many years would it last? Send a few pieces to the Taisui, and ascending to the sixth stage wouldn't be a problem. If consumed regularly, even the seventh stage might be possible. . . The Demonic Tree could also take this opportunity to absorb some blood essence and grow well. ”
“The skeleton and main body. . . can be refined into a puppet. At the very least, a true seventh-stage puppet can be refined. ”
After calculating, Fang Xi couldn't help but nod in satisfaction: “This Lu Xing Great Sage is just like a pig; his whole body is a treasure. ”
This time's abundant harvest was also due to his decisive kill, avoiding a prolonged magical battle and preventing damage to the treasures.
As for Fang Xi leaving his External Avatar behind, besides seeking Zhai Xingzi's help to gather overseas immortal abodes and look after his old friends, it was also to contribute a bit to the human race's great war.
Anyway, it's still that saying: it's just an External Avatar after all, so taking risks is just taking risks. . .
Moreover, the one stealing the limelight is the reclusive cultivator 'Qing Hezi', what does that have to do with Fang Xi?
