He opened his hand, and with a flash of light, a massive blade materialized in his palm.
He gripped the giant blade, a perfectly rounded, flawless aura rising from him. Saber Intent shot through the air, locking onto the Cloud Tower ahead. Then, he struck, unleashing a ray of saber light.
This ray of saber light was utterly pure and incomparably crystalline, yet its edge was ferociously sharp, suffused with an indestructible Saber Intent that seemed capable of sundering anything in its path.
The saber light, condensed to its absolute limit, tore through layers of the void and shattered the dense web of the world’s energy. Like a blazing sun crashing to the earth, it blasted away the sea of clouds for a thousand zhang around it before ruthlessly striking the Cloud Tower.
The entire Cloud Tower was instantly cleaved in two. A dozen or so streaks of light had just shot out from within when they were engulfed by a myriad of saber gleams.
The cold, murderous saber light flowed like water, instantly blanketing a hundred-mu area. The light surged like a tide, washing over everything within, again and again.
Auras of energy were rapidly extinguished, one after another!
BOOM!
An incredibly violent explosion rocked the void.
The saber light suddenly burst apart, and three blindingly cold rays of light shot out, hurtling toward the golden tower ship.
Wen Lie remained unhurried. The myriad saber gleams instantly converged into a single line and slashed down.
The slash seemed to split the heavens in two as it intercepted one of the cold rays of light.
The cold light and the saber gleam collided, clashing hundreds, even thousands, of times in a single instant.
A chilling intent surged forth, and a frigid wave spanning a hundred li swept out. The astonishing cold energy caused countless ice crystals and frost to materialize in the air.
The saber gleam and the cold light danced across the sky in a constant, deadly clash, the ferocity of their battle seeming to bleach the very color from the world.
The remaining two rays of cold light were intercepted by Ji Changqing and Fang Cheng.
Within those three rays of cold light were the three fourth-rank members of the Ancient Evil Race, their power immense.
These members of the Ancient Evil Race stood three zhang tall, their bodies covered in crystalline blue scales. They were humanoid in shape but possessed six arms and heads like pythons, with a blue, crescent-shaped runic sigil on their foreheads.
They were none other than the Royal Race of the Cold Moon Lineage!
Meanwhile, Xie Wanqiu and Xi Yinglong calmly captured the few remaining third-rank members of the Ancient Evil Race and tossed them onto the golden tower ship.
"Mr. Xie, go assist Fellow Daoist Fang Cheng. I will join Fellow Daoist Ji. We need to end this quickly!"
Xi Yinglong said to Xie Wanqiu via voice transmission.
As he spoke, flames erupted behind him, swiftly coalescing into a dazzling Flame Pattern Wheel at the back of his head. Ancient Flame Runes materialized one by one within the wheel.
Like a deity, he pointed a finger. A streak of deep crimson fire shot out, flying straight toward the fourth-rank Hanyue Royal Family member currently engaged in a duel of techniques with Ji Changqing.
The Hanyue Royal Family member’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly brought his six hands together, forming a profound hand seal.
An astonishingly cold energy materialized from thin air and swirled around his body, shielding him completely.
Ji Changqing frowned and his figure flashed, retreating rapidly.
In the void, layers of ice crystals condensed around the Hanyue Royal Family member, spreading outward in all directions.
The ice crystals were of varying thickness, layered and overlapping, and incredibly durable. They reflected the vast heavens above, creating an illusion of boundless, empty space.
The deep crimson firelight slammed into the layers of ice crystals before the Hanyue Royal Family member, exploding into a blazing, fiery red halo that hung suspended in the sky.
The terrifying heat warped the void within a thousand zhang. Violent flames of bright yellow and deep crimson swelled and spread, furiously battering the ice crystals.
The sky turned a sheet of crimson, like a red-hot iron wall.
The pure, transparent ice crystals, which reflected the heavens, were engulfed by the flames and began to melt away in silence.
The astounding heat and extreme cold intertwined, locked in a stalemate that threw the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into turmoil.
Ji Changqing cast a spell at the Hanyue Royal Family member from a distance. A wisp of black energy suddenly appeared, pierced through the void, and struck the creature.
Amidst the flames, an ice-blue Escape Light suddenly plummeted, speeding toward the earth in the blink of an eye in a desperate bid to flee.
BOOM!
No longer sustained by Magical Power, the layered ice crystals in the sky were instantly burned through by the flames and vanished into nothing.
Seeing this, Ji Changqing transformed into a wisp of ethereal black energy and gave chase to the frantically fleeing member of the Hanyue Royal Family.
「A few moments earlier.」
「Meanwhile.」
Xie Wanqiu’s voluptuous and graceful figure appeared at the edge of the battlefield where Fang Cheng and a Hanyue Royal Family member were fighting.
She saw the towering, burly, fourth-rank Hanyue Royal Family member forming a seal with its six hands. Accompanied by a sky full of swirling snow and overflowing with cold light, its attack descended upon Fang Cheng like a giant axe.
In stark contrast, Fang Cheng’s figure only reached the creature’s knees. But his entire body was suffused with golden light as he threw a punch that struck squarely against the Hanyue Royal Family member’s hand seal.
BOOM!
An earth-shattering explosion erupted.
A blinding light flared in the sky.
Everyone engaged in the battle paused involuntarily for an instant, instinctively circulating their Magical Power to resist the shockwave from the clash.
Just as Xie Wanqiu assumed there would be a lull, a moment to recover after such a blow...
Another thunderous boom rang out.
She saw the Hanyue Royal Family member, seemingly tireless, unleashing one seal technique after another, raining them down on Fang Cheng relentlessly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Fang Cheng struck back without fear. The golden light and the icy radiance clashed violently, sending out concentric ripples of pale white energy that spread for a hundred li across the void.
For a moment, Xie Wanqiu found she had no opening to intervene.
She stared, her beautiful eyes unblinking, as the two fought. Watching with rapt attention, she was profoundly shocked by the strength of Fang Cheng’s physical body, and a look of curiosity appeared on her face.
’The Ancient Evil Race are among the creatures with the most powerful physical bodies in this world. The fourth-rank Royal Race, in particular, has physical durability that rivals a Fourth-rank Magical Artifact!’
’Yet Fang Cheng is able to go head-to-head with one and not lose any ground whatsoever.’
After a short while, in the distant sky, Xi Yinglong and Ji Changqing joined forces to defeat their opponent. The fourth-rank Hanyue Royal Family member was heavily wounded and forced to flee.
The Hanyue Royal Family member locked in a fierce battle with Fang Cheng saw this and couldn’t help but let out an angry roar. Seeing the situation had turned against it, it unleashed one last explosive seal technique to knock Fang Cheng back, then turned and fled into the distant sky.
Fang Cheng decisively gave chase, with Xie Wanqiu following close behind.
The Hanyue Royal Family member produced a Long Banner. Countless bolts of Icy Thunder Light erupted from its surface, wrapping around the creature’s body. Its Escape Light’s speed suddenly increased by a huge margin.
Fang Cheng, however, remained unhurried. He activated the Yin Yang Heaven Escape Technique. Black and white energy swirled around him as he teleported through the void, his speed no slower than the Hanyue Royal Family member’s.
Xie Wanqiu, on the other hand, was left far behind. She could only watch helplessly as the two vanished over the horizon, completely out of her reach.
She had no choice but to stop. She stood still in the void, her long dress fluttering, her beautiful eyes glinting as she gazed into the distant sky.
...
「In the sky.」
Two incredibly fast Escape Lights streaked across the sky, one in pursuit of the other.
Once Fang Cheng saw that he had lost Xie Wanqiu, he stopped hiding his true strength. He called out to the Hanyue Royal Family member ahead of him, "Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
The Hanyue Royal Family member gave a savage sneer. ’Once I put a little more distance between myself and Xi Yinglong’s group, I’ll use my trump card and kill this member of the Human Race.’
"Sigh..."
A sigh drifted over.
A terrifying Sword Intent calmly emerged from Fang Cheng.
The Hanyue Royal Family member was suddenly startled. It turned its head and saw that the human Body Refining Cultivator was now holding an incomparably sharp Flying Sword.
"A Tier Five Flying Sword?!"
’This is bad!’ it thought. Its six hands rapidly formed seals, unleashing an attack. Countless hand seals, brimming with a heaven-piercing cold, rained down on Fang Cheng like giant axes.
Amidst the ceaseless barrage of colossal, cold-light axes in the sky, a magnificent and dazzling sword light suddenly appeared.
The Hanyue Royal Family member scrambled to defend itself.
SHIIING!
The sword light passed through the fourth-rank Hanyue Royal Family member without any resistance, slicing it in two.
The Hanyue Royal Family member’s eyes were wide with fury as it stared deathlessly at Fang Cheng.
’If you had a Tier Five Flying Sword, why did you wait until now to use it?’
Filled with confusion and doubt, its life force faded completely away.
Fang Cheng retracted the sword light and took the storage-type Magical Artifact from the Hanyue Royal Family member’s body. He then shattered its corpse with a punch and refined the remains with the Li Hen Demon Light before leisurely making his way back.
