****
Under the dense night, a figure bolted towards the border between the Demon Palace and the Heavenly Mansion within the mining district, running at full speed like lightning.
That figure was none other than Fang Xuan.
At this mont, his vestnt robe was tattered and torn. The hairpin on his head had been lost to who knows where. Without the restraint of the hairpin, his unkempt hair made him look utterly disheveled.
As a mber of the Heavenly Mansion’s Enemy-breaking Camp, after the failed surprise attack on the Demon Palace campsite, Fang Xuan found himself in enemy territory within the mining district, surrounded by foes at every turn.
He had fought his way through several groups of enemies thanks to his formidable strength and had eventually broken out of encirclent.
When the situation beca most desperate, he faced an assault by six or seven Heavenly Immortals from the enemy side all by himself.
Although Fang Xuan might have been a bit arrogant, he had the capital to back up his pride.
He managed to kill one of the Heavenly Immortals of his caliber who ganged up on him and finally escaped from the pinch.
It was undeniably an impressive feat; speaking strictly of combat prowess, he might not have been invincible amongst the Heavenly Immortals, yet he was certainly amongst the elite.
As Fang Xuan continued his flight, despite his ragged appearance, his injuries were not severe.
The bloodstains on his vestnt robe were almost entirely the blood of his enemies. The only serious wound on his back had largely stopped bleeding.
With his overwhelming power, according to his plan, when the raid began and caught the enemy camp off guard, if his n could attract more than half of the camp’s forces, he would have had a decent chance at seizing the Star Stones within.
The squads of average strength within the Enemy-breaking Camp might at best ambush an enemy patrol and earn a trifle’s worth of rit by slaying foes.
Fang Xuan dared to lead an attack on the Demon Palace’s camp because of his formidable strength, which was the capital he relied on.
The reason he ended up so bedraggled now was purely due to an unexpected turn of events.
"Those guys in the team, although so of their strength was wasted, they were barely qualified to serve as cannon fodder."
"It’s just a pity that due to this accident, I got myself into such a ss, and I don’t know how many of my n managed to escape back."
"Every mission led by my team has resulted in heavy casualties. If my n are wiped out again this ti, I don’t know when the camp will allocate people to !"
He sighed softly, and the thought of Chen Hai, the one who caused this accident, made Fang Xuan clench his teeth in anger once again.
Chen Hai was conscripted from remote areas to this mining region and assigned to the Enemy-breaking Camp just over a month ago.
It was unlikely he betrayed the Heavenly Mansion and colluded with the Demon Palace.
However, his indignant shout had undeniably exposed them all, and that was an undeniable fact.
This ti, as Fang Xuan’s squad infiltrated the Demon Palace’s mining site, they didn’t even grab a single hair, instead suffering heavy losses.
Whatever the reason behind Chen Hai’s shout that revealed their presence, the significant losses the team suffered most certainly fell on his shoulders.
"It’s close now, just within a mile’s distance, and I’ll be able to enter our Heavenly Mansion territory."
"Once there, I’ll be safe. Those bastards from the Demon Palace definitely won’t have the guts to chase all the way there."
"Once I get out of this, that Chen Hai, I will eradicate his entire family!"
After muttering a few curses under his breath, Fang Xuan increased his escape speed slightly again.
At that mont, atop a mound about a hundred feet tall nearby, a burly figure leaped into the air.
"I thought who it might be, daring to venture tens of miles deep into our Demon Palace territory, eyeing the minerals in our camp?"
"So it turns out to be you, Fang Xuan. You’ve co all this way, killing many of our n. Do you really think our Demon Palace has no one to stand against you?"
"Fist Dominating the World, et your end!"
Before the burly figure truly descended, still quite a distance from Fang Xuan, he threw a punch from afar, blasting it towards Fang Xuan.
A thick scent of blood spread out from the center of the burly man’s fist, diffusing in all directions.
Wherever the stench of blood perated, the void was instantly filled with crimson. A boundless tide of bloody qi surged tumultuously until it finally converged, forming a massive blood-colored fist hurtling directly towards the spot where Fang Xuan stood.
Even though the fist hadn’t truly struck, the unparalleled force and terrifying pressure had already caused the ground beneath Fang Xuan’s feet to cave in.
From within this depression, one might not sense anything amiss, but from a distance, it was clear to see—the caved-in earth perfectly ford the impression of an enormous fist.
"One of the Demon Palace’s Ten Great Heavenly Immortals, Wei Wushuang, it’s you..." Seeing the burly man, Fang Xuan’s expression visibly changed.
With a ’swoosh,’ the long sword that had always been carried on his back emitted a blade cry.
The next mont, the cold, gleaming sword had already appeared in his hands.
In an instant, he slashed out thousands of sword shadows. These dense sword shadows rushed to et the blood-colored fist that was blasting towards him.
As Fang Xuan, who had slashed out these sword shadows, continued to form sword jue with his hands, the countless sword shadows began to rapidly coalesce mid-flight, ultimately transforming into a several-zhang-long blade.
"Boom... boom... boom..." The giant sword and the blood-colored fist finally collided.
In that instant, the heavens and earth changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light.
The already hazy night sky was completely shrouded in darkness.
’Stomp stomp stomp...’ Fang Xuan staggered backward, spewing several mouthfuls of blood every ti he took a step.
Not only that, but trickles of fresh blood also seeped out from all over his body, making him look like a blood-drenched figure.
It seed that facing Wei Wushuang, with just a single move, the outco was clear, and Fang Xuan was seriously injured.
"Boom..." With a sound, Wei Wushuang, who had swung his fist from mid-air, finally landed, stepping onto the earth, and the entire region seed to slightly tremble.
"Just a defeated opponent, Fang Xuan, after several years, you’re still worthless."
"Just a single punch has injured you like this. How many moves can you, Fang Xuan, withstand from my giant fist, as big as a pot?"
The pitiful sight of Fang Xuan fell into Wei Wushuang’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but laugh mockingly.
As he spoke, he stepped forward, seemingly preparing to throw another punch at Fang Xuan.
"Wei Wushuang, I admit you’re stronger than , but so what? You think you can kill ? Dream on!"
"Ten Thousand Swords Rise, Blood Sword Escape!"
Already bathed in blood, Fang Xuan let out a cold laugh, and with a ’pop,’ his body exploded.
Countless blood swords, each a few inches in size and numbering in the tens of thousands, shot out from him in all directions.
Wei Wushuang’s fist was swung promptly, but it was still a step too late.
Despite his fist annihilating many of the blood swords, a good number still scattered, blending into the thick night and disappearing without a trace.
"The sa old trick? You’re worthless, good for nothing but running away!"
"Even if you managed to escape from my hands, the vitality you’ve lost ans you won’t recover for three to five years without rest!"
With disdain, Wei Wushuang sneered.
As long as a single Blood Sword remained, Fang Xuan would not truly perish. Regarding his Blood Sword Escape technique, Wei Wushuang was not experiencing it for the first ti.
Dozens upon hundreds of Blood Swords scattered and fled, making it impossible for him to continue the pursuit.
Too lazy to cling to the issue of Fang Xuan any longer, Wei Wushuang spat viciously on the ground and, with a shake of his body, disappeared from the spot.
