I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 280: Chapter 138: Southern Border Department, Void Divine Seal

A dozen or so people arrived in an instant.

Their eyes met.

Fang Xing swept his gaze over them. With his Golden Eyes of Truth, he could see a faint purple aura lingering around each person.

The purple aura on the middle-aged man in the lead, who wore tight-fitting cyan clothes, was even more intense.

Now, he was certain. This group had to be from the Southern Border Observatory.

’Looks like they were most likely after Black Wind Stronghold, too.’

Showing up here at this time of night... there was no need to guess. This group was definitely here to deal with the people of Black Wind Stronghold.

Unfortunately, they were one step too late.

He had already annihilated everyone in Black Wind Stronghold, from top to bottom.

Seeing Fang Xing, the leading middle-aged man in cyan glanced at him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Could you be Marshal Fang Xing from the Celestial South Cang Province Observatory?"

"Marshal?"

Hearing this, the others behind him were stunned. What kind of Marshal was only at True Qi Perfection?

Even a Vice Marshal had to be in the True Gang Realm to qualify, right?

Wait!

Fang Xing... why did that name sound so familiar?!

"Is he the one from the Hidden Dragon List?!"

In an instant, everyone behind the middle-aged man seemed to realize something. Their expressions changed as they looked at the figure before them.

If this really was the Fang Xing from the Hidden Dragon List, then it wasn’t strange at all.

Rumor had it that he could fight a True Gang Disciple from a Martial Dao Upper Sect even when he was only in the Late Stage of the True Qi Realm. Although he was ultimately defeated, it was enough to prove how terrifying he was.

Besides, the Hidden Dragon List had just been updated a couple of days ago. Not only had Fang Xing not dropped off the list, but his ranking had actually improved.

His True Qi Cultivation potential was ranked higher than some in the True Gang Realm.

They had even heard their own Commander praise this man as a Demon Fiend for his talent.

"..."

’Am I that famous already? Can just anyone I run into recognize me?’

Fang Xing was inwardly stunned by the question from the Observatory leader.

People from the Southern Border Observatory already knew about him.

He had truly underestimated the influence of Bai Xiaosheng’s Martial World Times.

He didn’t pay it much mind, but other people clearly did.

Though still surprised, Fang Xing quickly composed himself and looked at the Observatory leader. "The very same. And you are...?"

The middle-aged man smiled. "Marshal Fang may not know me, so allow me to introduce myself. I am Xu Chong, Vice Marshal of Team B from the Southern Border’s Liang Province Observatory."

Hearing the middle-aged man’s introduction, Fang Xing cupped his hands in a salute. "So it is Marshal Xu. My apologies for the discourtesy."

Xu Chong chuckled. "Not at all, not at all. It’s perfectly normal that you don’t recognize me, Marshal Fang. I saw you at the Hunting Competition before the new year, which is why I was able to recognize you."

"I see..."

As Xu Chong spoke, it all suddenly clicked for Fang Xing.

It wasn’t strange if he’d been seen at the Hunting Competition.

After all, he had taken first place, and with the highest score. It would have been hard not to notice him.

"Marshal Fang, what brings you here?" Xu Chong asked in surprise.

"I’m on a mission, tracking a Saintess from the Void Sect."

Fang Xing replied.

Tracking a Saintess...

Hearing this, everything became clear to Xu Chong. He glanced at Qiuming Mountain in the dead of night. The earth-shattering commotion from just now was probably Fang Xing’s doing.

’Wait, does this mean my mission has failed?’

Suddenly, Xu Chong snapped back to his senses, and his expression changed.

Looking at Fang Xing, Xu Chong hesitated for a moment before asking, "Lord Fang, about Black Wind Stronghold on this Qiuming Mountain..."

"Already taken care of," Fang Xing answered crisply.

Taken care of!!!

Hearing Fang Xing’s answer, the crowd was stunned, and Xu Chong was dumbfounded.

"Then, I wonder if Lord Fang happened to run into an Elder from the Blood Demon Sect? His name is Wang Gang, with a cultivation at the First Layer of True Gang."

Xu Chong asked.

"Was Lord Xu here to deal with a Demon Sect Elder?" Fang Xing asked in return.

Xu Chong nodded. "Yes. This Demon Sect Elder is vicious and was plotting something sinister. We came to eliminate him."

"THUD!"

"Then you needn’t worry, my lord. This is the head of that Demon Sect Elder. You can go back and complete your report."

As he spoke, Fang Xing took out a severed head and threw it in front of Xu Chong.

Luckily, he had left the head intact when he killed the Demon Sect Elder.

Xu Chong: "..."

Gazing at the head on the ground, a storm of shock crashed through him.

The Blood Demon Sect Elder was dead!

Killed by Fang Xing!

This... this can’t be real, can it?!

In that moment, Xu Chong’s world was shaken to its core.

True Qi Reversing True Gang!

This was simply unbelievable!

Even though he knew Fang Xing’s strength was terrifying, for him to be able to overcome such a massive gap... this was the work of a true Demon Fiend, beyond anything he could have imagined.

Taking a deep breath, he swept the head with his Gang Qi and examined it closely. From the residual aura and the facial features, he could be absolutely certain: this was the Blood Demon Sect Elder from their mission, Wang Gang!

He looked at Fang Xing, the shock in his eyes still unable to subside.

A True Qi Perfection practitioner reversing a True Gang Martial Artist.

If the aura wasn’t impossible to fake, he would have suspected it was a counterfeit.

It was unbelievable, but the facts were laid out right in front of him. He had no choice but to believe it.

"Lord Fang, this... how can I accept this? The credit belongs to you, my lord."

Xu Chong forced himself to accept this reality and looked at Fang Xing, somewhat embarrassed.

Fang Xing smiled faintly. "It’s nothing. We’re all from the Observatory; we should help each other out. I just took care of it on the side."

"..."

On the side!

A True Qi Perfection practitioner killing a True Gang Martial Artist... how the hell could you call that "on the side"?!
