Chapter 173: Chapter 107: Evil Cult Guoshan Peak (2)
Hearing this, both of them looked at Fang Xing, a strange glint in their eyes.
"Commander Fang’s strength is extraordinary. The three of you must work together in earnest, understand?"
"As you command!"
The two nodded, answering in unison.
Then, Hong Miaojin looked at Fang Xing. "They will inform you of the specific mission details. After you complete it, go with them to the Cang Province Observatory. I’ll be waiting for good news."
Fang Xing nodded without asking any questions.
’Going to the Cang Province Observatory together afterward... This is likely just a chance for me to get acclimated.’
Hong Miaojin glanced at the three of them, then stepped onto the Flying Boat.
"You must be careful. Safety comes first!"
Hong Miaojin’s voice drifted down from the Flying Boat before it streaked through the air and departed.
"Farewell, my lady," the three said in unison, bowing respectfully.
As the Flying Boat vanished from sight, Fang Xing turned his gaze to Zhou Yu and Chen Yan.
"I’m new here, gentlemen. I’ll be in your care."
Hearing this, the two exchanged a smile. "You’re too kind, Lord Fang. Come, let’s head to the temple first and discuss the details."
They wouldn’t dare underestimate someone Hong Miaojin had personally dispatched to help them.
Although his Cultivation was only at the Middle Stage of the True Qi Realm, to have earned Hong Miaojin’s approval meant he must have some extraordinary qualities.
Otherwise, Hong Miaojin would never have escorted him here personally.
...
Inside the temple, the three sat down casually. Zhou Yu took out a file and handed it to Fang Xing. "Lord Fang, you can take a look at this first."
Fang Xing took the documents and began to read them carefully.
As he read through the information, his brow would furrow one moment and relax the next.
Nearby, Zhou Yu and Chen Yan didn’t disturb him.
Before long, Fang Xing had committed all the information in the documents to memory.
According to the documents, the target of their operation was a group of bandits known as the "Guoshan Peak" gang.
These Guoshan Peak bandits were no small fry; they were all members of the Void Evil Cult in disguise.
The three most powerful members were:
The Big Master of Guoshan Peak.
Cultivation: True Qi Realm Perfection.
The Second and Third Masters, both with Cultivation at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the True Qi Realm.
Under them, there was also a group of fierce, bloodthirsty bandits who feared no death.
They cultivated the Bloodthirsty Evil Skill and specialized in absorbing vital blood essence.
In addition, there were other targets: High Realm Great Demons.
The documents stated there were two of these High Realm Great Demons: a Mountain Lord Tiger Demon and a Bear Demon.
Their strength was also not to be underestimated.
’That’s a pretty powerful lineup...’
Fang Xing was inwardly astonished.
’And for a lineup like this, they only sent the two of them, plus a newcomer like me.’
’Just how short-staffed are they...?’
’Or... did Hong Miaojin arrange this on purpose?’
"So, Lord Fang, do you think this mission will be difficult?" Chen Yan asked, seeing that Fang Xing had finished with the documents.
Fang Xing mulled it over for a moment before replying, "Two High Realm Great Demons, two True Qi Peak Martial Artists, and one at True Qi Perfection... This is certainly challenging."
"Challenging..."
Hearing his reply, the two exchanged a look. They couldn’t detect any hint of pressure in his tone.
’Just how strong is this guy?’
The same thought occurred to both Chen Yan and Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was the first to snap out of it. He looked at Fang Xing and said, "Lord Fang, the three of us must cooperate closely. Otherwise, there’s no guarantee an accident won’t happen."
Fang Xing nodded. "Of course. What’s the plan you two have in mind?"
Zhou Yu thought for a moment, then looked at Fang Xing. "We’ve pinpointed the location of the Guoshan Peak gang and the Demons and Monsters. We estimate we can get there before dark. Then, we’ll wait until midnight to make our move. We just need to take out the primary targets, and we’ll be done."
"Do these Evil Cult Martial Artists possess any powerful Spiritual Treasures?" Fang Xing asked.
He had suffered a setback at Qingfeng Pass last time, so he didn’t dare to be complacent.
The memory of the Netherworld Blood Coffin was still vivid in his mind.
If Zhuang Qian hadn’t used a special Magical Treasure to destroy the Netherworld Blood Coffin at the very end, the situation would have been dire.
The documents detailed the strength and Cultivation of these Evil Cult Martial Artists, but there was no guarantee it mentioned any Magical Treasures they might possess.
Hearing Fang Xing’s question, Chen Yan smiled. "Lord Fang, you don’t need to worry about that. We have an ace up our sleeve. When the time comes, as long as we can split them up and take them down individually, the mission will be a success."
After hearing Chen Yan’s words, Fang Xing asked no more questions. He simply nodded. "Alright, I’ll follow your lead."
Zhou Yu stood up and looked at Fang Xing. "Lord Fang, let’s set out now, then."
Fang Xing nodded, and the three of them stepped out of the temple.
SWOOSH—!
The moment they were outside the temple, the other two’s speed surged, and they vanished in a flash.
Fang Xing’s expression remained placid. True Qi swirled around him as he executed the Zongyi Ascension Step. With a single stride, he was steadily following right behind them.
’He really is something else!’
Seeing Fang Xing keeping up so easily, the two exchanged a look and picked up the pace again, their figures sweeping across the mountain terrain like the wind.
However...
No matter how much they increased their speed, Fang Xing followed at a steady, unhurried pace. He made it look effortless, showing no sign of strain.
This time, the two of them grew a little flustered.
’All out! I refuse to believe he can be this composed!’
A competitive urge flared up in Zhou Yu. Pushing his Lightweight Skill to its absolute limit, he practically flew along the ground, his movement a Phantom Flash.
Chen Yan also unleashed his full speed.
They tore along the mountain path, as fast as lightning!
And yet, Fang Xing still followed them steadily.
The distance between them neither increased nor decreased.
No matter how fast they were, he always kept pace, following closely behind.
He was completely at ease, with plenty of energy to spare, making it impossible to gauge the true depths of his ability.
