Chapter 525 - 19: East Sea Cultivator (Part 3)
The thin curtain of water, upon closer inspection, is composed of rapidly flowing droplets.
Each droplet carries immense power.
Heavy as a thousand pounds!
When such a curtain of water crashes down, it can flatten rocks, steel, and fortresses alike.
Who is this person?
To possess such formidable strength!
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Fang Zheng’s actions did not slow in the slightest; as his body shifted, the Gang Qi outside his body transformed into form.
Heart Intent—Bear Form!
Transforming Qi into Form!
"Bang!"
A giant hand broke through the water curtain, crashing down with force.
"How can this be?" Brother Miao’s eyes widened as he shook his hand, releasing an object that transformed into a shield before him.
"Bang!"
With a sound of impact, the shield trembled violently, and Brother Miao staggered back repeatedly, shouting:
"Be careful!"
With his cultivation base and means, an ordinary Flawless opponent is no match for him; even a Great Mage would find it difficult to prevail.
Yet now.
With only a brief exchange, he was already in peril, a testament to the intruder’s remarkable strength.
"Let’s do it together!"
The woman’s face darkened as she flew toward him. Xiao Gu reached into his robe and pulled out a mirror, throwing it high into the air.
Facing the approaching man and woman, Fang Zheng stretched his arms mid-air.
Heart Intent—Dragon and Snake Joint Attack!
A Gang Qi six feet thick transformed into a terrifying dragon and snake, twisting above them and sending the two flying.
"Six feet!"
The woman screamed in terror:
"How is that possible!"
The Protective Force of a Flawless Martial Artist moves up a threshold with each foot, and three-foot Gang Qi already marks a strong practitioner among the Flawless.
Four feet,
and you’d be a standout in the East Sea.
Five feet,
extremely rare.
Six feet...
Unheard of!
The gap between one foot and six feet is not just the difference between a house dog and a leopard; it’s the chasm between a cat and a tiger.
"Buzz..."
The mirror Xiao Gu released cast a doorway of light, landing on Fang Zheng.
In an instant.
Fang Zheng’s movements halted.
Magical Artifact—Body-Stabilizing Mirror!
This item can immobilize a person’s blood, Primordial Energy, and Divine Soul; any living thing caught in its light will be frozen.
The higher one’s cultivation base, the shorter the immobilization lasts.
Opportunity!
The two exchanged a gleaming look.
Brother Miao opened his mouth wide, spat fiercely, and countless flying insects shot out, surging toward Fang Zheng.
The woman, with a flick of her finger, sent a White Bone Whip flying from her sleeve, wrapping it around and striking out.
"Bang!"
The flying insects and White Bone Whip landed on Fang Zheng, causing his flesh to scatter immediately.
Something’s wrong!
It’s a Clone Illusion Technique!
Brother Miao quickly turned his head and saw Fang Zheng’s figure appear beside Xiao Gu, reaching out to grab him.
"Watch out!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Xiao Gu’s head twisting and shattering under Fang Zheng’s grip, exploding.
Without a head, the body swayed, and toppled to the ground.
Even if it were a child, he showed no mercy, seizing the opportunity for a fatal strike.
"Swish!"
Heart Intent—Crane Form!
Unsettled Qiankun!
After killing one, Fang Zheng’s expression didn’t change; utilizing Body Technique, he became afterimages attacking the two.
Simultaneously, he summoned the Binding Gold Rope to fight the weeping woman’s White Bone Whip.
"Damn it!"
Brother Miao gritted his steel teeth and patted his waist pouch lightly, revealing several talisman papers, each radiating Spiritual Light.
"Boom!"
Terrifying auras exploded consecutively.
In the chaos.
A figure flashed swiftly by, a Sword Intent as solid as essence flickering briefly, simultaneously severing a person’s head.
Seven Kills Spell!
One-Character Heart-Clearing Slash!
With the addition of these two Secret Techniques, Fang Zheng’s burst power doubled, almost reaching the level of a Martial Sect.
The sudden outburst caught the two off guard.
"Ah Miao!"
The woman roared, charging forward madly, only to be kicked heavily and sent flying.
Fang Zheng landed next to the corpse, reached down to take the opponent’s Storage Pouch, and weighed it in his hand.
He frowned immediately.
He looked into the distance, his eyes shifting back and forth several times.
Finally, he glanced somewhat reluctantly at the woman on the battlefield, and his form flickered in the air, disappearing from the spot.
Just when his figure had barely disappeared for the span of ten breaths, another figure appeared out of thin air.
"Uncle Master!"
The woman cried out, collapsing to the ground:
"Xiao Gu is dead! Ah Miao is also dead!"
"..." The newcomer, with disheveled hair and a scruffy beard, dressed in beast hide, looked like a mountain savage.
He stared at the bodies on the ground, a fierce light dancing in his eyes:
"Good!"
"Very good!"
"I just went out for a walk, and my juniors were harmed. Is this what they meant by saying that the land is safer than the sea?"
"Hmm?"
The savage turned his gaze to An Tao, who was slowly waking up in the field. With an outstretched hand, he directly grabbed him.
"Speak!"
"Who was that person?"
"Senior." An Tao clearly recognized the other party, and in his confused state, his mind suddenly cleared, and he shook his head, saying:
"I don’t know either..."
"Wait!"
His eyes focused, and he spoke slowly:
"Just now, he seemed to ask me something, what was it... Why does my waist hurt so much?"
Before he remembered what he had said while being soul-captured, the pain in his waist distorted An Tao’s expression.
Hmm?
The savage lowered his head, and a warning sign came from the flawless Primordial Spirit.
No, something’s wrong!
"Boom!"
A blinding light erupted from An Tao’s body, and rolling flames swept in all directions, purely destroying half of the small courtyard.
Everything.
Was encompassed in the explosion.
A high-explosive bomb!
The explosives used to destroy strong defenses, capable of blasting through buildings, were remotely detonated in an instant.
The sudden explosion, with a shockwave surpassing the speed of sound, was difficult for even a Martial Sect Sage to evade.
Almost in an instant.
An Tao’s body was vaporized in the explosion, and a woman behind him screamed as her flesh was stripped away on the spot.
The White Bone Sect’s Dharma Gate made the woman’s skeleton as lustrous as jade, pristine white, but her flesh couldn’t withstand the explosion.
In the end, she failed to cultivate the White Bone Body, and without the outer flesh, the bones trembled and were completely blown away.
Dead beyond dead.
"Ah!"
The savage roared in anger to the heavens amidst the flames.
The rolling sound waves even suppressed the flames on the scene, spreading throughout the entire Prefecture City, shattering an unknown number of window panes.
"Who?"
"Such audacity to recklessly invade Prefecture City!"
"Swish!"
"Swish swish!"
Three terrifying auras emerged from Prefecture City, and two figures rose into the air, rushing towards An Mansion.
Meanwhile.
The Magic Altar in the City Lord’s Mansion activated, and an array that enveloped the entire city began to operate, with nearly ten thousand government soldiers responding to the sound.
......
"Even that didn’t kill him?"
Fang Zheng’s figure appeared near the Martial Arts Dojo, squinting as he gazed towards An Mansion, still feeling fear:
"Was that person a Martial Sect or a Master?"
"A high-explosive bomb at such close range couldn’t kill him, could it be that dealing with such people requires a nuclear weapon?"
"Luckily, I left quickly, otherwise, if caught, it would be hard to escape unscathed!"
"Hmm..."
He stroked his chin, looking at the two figures soaring in the sky, showing surprise and doubt:
"Zhaonan Prefecture’s Prefecture City actually has three Martial Sects and Masters stationed, one of them being Princess Qingyuan."
"When did she break through?"
Princess Qingyuan had already become a Master, which was far beyond his expectations, and seemingly others as well.
At least that young master from the Song Family, Song Ji, who had always hoped to win the beauty, it seemed now that there was no chance.
"That should be Master Ziyang from the Pure Yang Palace, rumored to be over two hundred years old, truly remarkable."
"The last one who hasn’t shown up, I wonder who it is?"
"Boom!"
"Rumble..."
Just as he pondered, above, a collision had already begun.
The savage from the Five Poison Sect released a myriad of flying insects and poisons, merging his body into them and disappearing from sight.
The poisonous insects danced frenziedly, screeching and roaring incessantly.
"Boom!"
Groups of flames appeared out of thin air, like heavenly meteors, bombing the swarming poisonous insects into disarray.
There were also rays of light crisscrossing in the sky, intercepting the poisons trying to rush towards Prefecture City.
"Flaming Sun Talisman!"
"Blazing Fire Dragon!"
Fang Zheng squinted, thoughtfully:
"Master Ziyang’s methods are indeed formidable, like a humanoid cannon, the fire dragons he controls burn everything, a nemesis of poisons."
"Worthy of being over two hundred years of experience!"
"Hmm..."
"Compared to Master Jiuyuan, still a bit lacking."
"Princess Qingyuan is actually so strong?"
"No!"
Fang Zheng lightly shook his head:
"She must have borrowed some Magical Treasure, her own cultivation base is much weaker than that savage and Master Ziyang."
"It seems that even achieving Martial Sect or Master, good external items can still greatly narrow the power gap."
"Loose cultivators are still at a disadvantage!"
The savage, though strong, might not be stronger than Master Ziyang, not to mention that there were also Princess Qingyuan and another hidden expert on the scene.
After a slight trial, he soared away into the distance.
If he didn’t leave.
Once Prefecture City’s array started, and the government soldiers formed their formation, even a Master would regret it on the spot.
Master Ziyang seemed unwilling to let the opponent go so easily, transforming into a trail of fire chasing after him.
However, Li Yingxuan revealed his figure in the air, lightly descending.
"Master..."
Fang Zheng bowed his head, his expression solemn:
"Even if I’ve killed and erased traces, I’m afraid it might still not be hidden from him."
Perhaps it could be.
But he wasn’t sure.
Licking his lips, Fang Zheng’s eyes hardened, looking at the pocket-sized Buddhist Shrine hanging from his waist, reaching to pick it up.
"Master techniques, it’s not that I don’t have them."
After some thought, he took out the Moon God Jade, heading towards the quiet chamber arranged in Prefecture City.
