I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 196: Chapter 114: Horse Bandit Demon Sect

"Bai Xiaosheng, the Hidden Dragon List..."

Stepping out of the Observatory, Fang Xing looked up at the sky.

He had never expected to make it onto the Hidden Dragon List.

But somehow, he had.

For him, this was no blessing.

Compared to the prodigies on the Hidden Dragon List, his current strength was completely inadequate.

With the influence of Bai Xiaosheng’s Martial World Times, he could already foresee that trouble would be unavoidable in the future.

In the eyes of many, he had become the perfect "stepping stone."

’Since it’s happened, I’ll just have to accept it and adapt as things come.’

Casting aside his distracting thoughts, Fang Xing immediately headed for Qingfeng Villa.

There was no way to predict what the future would hold.

If people wanted to use him to make a name for themselves, well, he wasn’t some pushover.

...

Returning to the villa, Fang Xing enhanced all eight Blazing Yuan Pills in one go, turning them into eight Purple Flame Pills.

Name: Fang Xing

Cultivation: True Qi Sixth Layer!

Enhancement Level: Four-Star (76%)

Enhancement Points: 8,414.

’This has completely wiped me out...’

Fang Xing sighed, looking at his remaining Enhancement Points on the panel.

Hundreds of thousands of Enhancement Points, gone in an instant.

He closed the panel and looked at the eight Purple Flame Pills.

These eight Purple Flame Pills couldn’t help him break through the final barrier, but they could still boost his cultivation somewhat.

Then, he could use the Demon King Core to break through in one fell swoop.

If he achieved the Fiery Flame Formless state,

it would bring about an earth-shattering, qualitative transformation in his power.

"Hm?"

Just as he was about to ingest and absorb them, Fang Xing received a voice transmission from Zhou Yu.

It was time for a mission.

’Is it starting...? Fine by me. I can use this chance to go out and harvest more Enhancement Points.’

The thought flashed through his mind, and Fang Xing immediately left his bedroom.

When he opened the villa’s main gate, Zhou Yu was already standing outside.

"Brother Fang, congratulations! Getting on the Hidden Dragon List is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself."

Zhou Yu said with a cheerful laugh.

Hearing this, Fang Xing’s face darkened.

’Making a name for myself? What damn good is that?’

"It’s just an empty title, Brother Zhou. Are we leaving now?" Fang Xing’s expression returned to normal as he looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu nodded. "Yes, right now. Here’s the file, take a look."

Zhou Yu took out a file and handed it to Fang Xing.

Taking the mission file, Fang Xing scanned it ten lines at a time, quickly finishing it. He now had a basic understanding of the situation.

This time, the mission was to deal with a group of Vampire Horse Thieves!

And this group of Vampire Horse Thieves were no ordinary bandits.

Behind these Vampire Horse Thieves was the shadow of a Demon Path Upper Sect.

And behind them, besides the Demon Path Upper Sect, there were also Demons and Monsters.

The Vampire Horse Thieves plundered, murdered, and drank blood, all to fuel the cultivation of the powers backing them.

Their methods were appalling!

There were several core targets.

Their strength ranged from the Peak of True Qi Realm to Great Perfection.

Compared to the Guoshan Peak case they had solved last time, the difficulty of this mission was much greater.

"This mission is quite difficult, but don’t worry, two other people will be joining us. I’ve already notified them, and they should be waiting outside the city now."

Zhou Yu said.

Fang Xing nodded lightly. "Then let’s go."

With that, the two of them headed out of the city.

...

「Outside Cang Province City.」

Fang Xing and Zhou Yu met up with the other two.

One of them was Chen Yan, with whom they had cooperated once before. The other was a young man around thirty years old.

His cultivation was equally profound; like Zhou Yu, he was at the True Qi Realm Great Perfection stage.

"Let me introduce you. This is Bahuang Yi, a Commander of A-Level Team One."

’Bahuang Yi... that’s an unusual name.’ Fang Xing was surprised inwardly but remained outwardly composed. Looking at the young man, he gave a slight cupped-fist salute. "Brother Bahuang."

Bahuang Yi looked at him with a wide smile. "Brother Fang, congratulations! I read the latest Jianghu Daily. You’re the youngest person on the Hidden Dragon List, you know."

Hearing this, Fang Xing forced a smile. "It’s just an empty title, not worth mentioning."

Bahuang Yi laughed heartily. "Brother Fang, you’re too modest. The Hidden Dragon List is highly prestigious. That ’empty title’ is something countless people dream of."

"Making the list at the True Qi Sixth Layer—that’s a first in a hundred years. Even Lord Hong only got on the list after he stepped into the True Gang Realm."

"Lord Fang, you’re truly amazing," Chen Yan said with a smile, giving him a thumbs-up.

"..."

"It’s about time. Let’s get going," Fang Xing said, changing the subject, not wanting to dwell on it.

"Let’s go!"

The group wasted no time and quickly vanished from the spot.

...

Two days later, Fang Xing and his group appeared in a small town on the outskirts of Cang Province.

Xifeng Town!

This was a small town under the jurisdiction of Cang Province’s South County.

The bloody stench of death permeated the air.

Every door in the small town was shut tight.

Fang Xing swept his spiritual sense across the area, instantly grasping the town’s situation.

Xifeng Town had practically become a ghost town.

A town that once had a population of ten thousand now had not a single person in sight.

All that remained were some skeletal remains.

Ruins and rubble were everywhere, as if the place had been ransacked.

On the ground, one could even see desiccated corpses, their blood seemingly drained completely, leaving them like withered husks. It was a horrifying sight.

Under the bright daylight, it was like a Mortal Purgatory.

And this situation was not an isolated case in Cang Province.

Demons and Monsters brought chaos, and bandits ran rampant.

In some remote areas, scenes of utter devastation—nine out of ten homes empty—were common.

"It seems the Vampire Horse Thieves have paid this town a visit as well."

Zhou Yu’s expression was grim.

Fang Xing looked at the ruined town, his own expression equally grave.

Under the scan of his Golden Eyes of Truth, he could see the entire town was shrouded in a thick aura of resentment.

It was the resentful energy formed after death.
