After hearing a few yells back and forths, Fang Xing understood what was going on. These two were the Sword Cleansing Courts geniusXiao Xueand the elite youth of the Epheral ButterflyHou Guin. Despite being female, Xiao Xue favored battles over everything else and had co for a battle after hearing Hou Guin had successfully ford his foundation. Hou Guin wasnt stupid, however, and he refused to fight her despite Xiao Xue sealing two tiers of her foundation power. Faced with Xiao Xues persistence, he eventually created a large formation to hide inside, but Xiao Xue refused to leave and decided to brute force her way through the formation to teach Hou Guin a lesson.
Hou Guin was a genius in formations and was certain the formation hed placed here was sothing Xiao Xue wouldnt be able to break. His courage only grew larger and larger, and after a few exchanges from inside, he simply quietly waited for Xiao Xue to try to do so while he languidly hid inside.
Fang Xings little brain moved extrely quickly and he soon ca up with an idea. Very good. Since the two of you ca knocking on my door, Iyour little grandpawill gift you with a grand opportunity. He began to quietly sneak towards the formation without revealing himself.
Hou Guin might be a genius in formations from the Epheral Butterfly Sect, but his formation wasnt particularly special to Fang Xing; with Fang Xing calling out the locations of the eight passages and the Peng King calculating the paths, the pair predicted the formations rotation rather easily. Xiao Xue was also flinging sword lights all over the place to try to overpower it with brute strength, while Fang Xing on the other hand borrowed the Mask of Wanluos ability to hide his aura to try to sneak inside. Hou Guins attention was focused on Xiao Xue, allowing Fang Xing to sneak inside without him even noticing.
Once inside the formation, Fang Xing saw a black-robed man hiding within. His stature was tall, but his clothing seed tattered as though hed been beaten just earlierthis had to be Hou Guin alright. His back was to Fang Xing while his hands ford into a seal and sent formation flags out one after another to control the formations Qi and block off Xiao Xue.
Xiao Xue, I shall battle with you if you can break my formation. Hurry and co! Hou Guin loudly yelled towards Xiao Xue before muttering to himself, How dare this stupid girl look down on . Take your ti trying to break this formation, I on the other hand wont waste so much ti on you. Ill go back to the Demon God Valley to spend so ti with my little shiis. With that, he let out a soft laugh and turned to walk away.
In truth, he intended to lure Xiao Xue into breaking his formation to trap her inside it while he himself fled. The formation wouldnt be able to trap her too long without him here to personally activate it, but it would be more than enough for him to leave with plenty of ti to spare.
While Hou Guin was thinking about how flawless his plan was, soone was sneakily creeping up closer to him from the back. Fang Xing spat into his hands, raised his one-legged-man lance, and bashed it over the back of Hou Guins head.
Bang .
Hou Guins body shook for a mont in surprise. He slowly turned his head around in a daze, trying to see what had just happened.
Sh*t, why are you so sturdy? Since Fang Xing had already done it, he may as well do it wellhe soon went in for another whack.
BANG !
Regardless of how sturdy Hou Guin was, two whacks against the head was too much for him and he fell flat on the ground.
It was quite a pity. This person was extrely talented in the art of formations and considered a genius of his generation, even titled as one of Chufungs top three Spirit Stage cultivators. Yet just after forming his foundation, he was blocked off by Xiao Xue to the point he hid inside his formation without daring to escape, only to then be knocked unconscious by two whacks from Fang Xings lance. Even to the very end where he slipped unconscious, he still didnt know what had just happenedhow incredibly sad.
Fang Xing kneeled down with a smirk before reaching for Hou Guins storage sack. Opening it, he grabbed anything valuable for himself before finally placing a Dragon Blood Pellet inside, albeit with much regret and reluctance.
The thick black malice used by the Peng King to cover the pellet and temporarily seal the draconic aura had begun to thin out, and the essence struggled violently to break free. As one increased, the other decreased, and it wouldnt be long before the malice would be used up completely, allowing the draconic spirit essence to swell and expose this pellets location. Since the amount of malice over each of these five pellets was different, the timing at which theyd be exposed was also different.
Once that was finished, Fang Xings heart shuddered before he took out another storage sack, placed a Dragon Blood Pellet inside, and casually tossed it to the ground. All of this was followed up with a devious smirk as he sent out his Qi attacks, causing the rotation of the formation to break.
When Xiao Xuewhod been trying her best to break the formationsuddenly felt the formations strength begin to wane, she sneered and called out, Hou Guin, werent you boasting about how your formation skills are unmatched within the younger generation? This is so easy, how could this be enough to stop ? I have already sealed two tiers of my foundation; its not considered bullying even if I were to battle you now. Hurry and show your Epheral Butterflys Epheral Demon God technique. Her longsword began to wave around as she spoke and her sword intent rose higher and higher, causing the fourth crux of the formation to be destroyed.
Lets go! Fang Xing grabbed Hou Guin and quietly flew away. After two or three miles later, he saw a snow-covered lake and simply tossed him inside. Although Hou Guin had been smacked unconscious, he was still a Foundation Stage cultivator with a powerful physique; his unconsciousness wasnt very serious and he woke up the instant he ca into contact with the freezing water.
Hou Guin looked dumbfoundedly at the empty land around him before jumping out of the lake. What just happened? he wondered aloud while reaching for the big lump on his head.
How dare you cheat , Hou Guin? Im going to make you regret it! A loud shout could be heard from the west and a cloud filled with murderous intent began to rise. Just before Xiao Xue could start giving chase, however, she saw a storage sack on the ground andmistakenly believing Hou Guin had dropped it in the process of running awayshe picked it up before hurriedly giving chase from atop her cloud.
Hou Guin was startled by this and beca fearful when he rembered how he was trying to deceive Xiao Xue just recently. Miss Xiao Xue, calm down first, lets battle it out in a minute he yelled back, Sothings wrong, a little thief sneak attacked .
Xiao Xue wouldnt have found him so quickly herself, but she imdiately found out where he was by following his voice. Still, though, theyd been shouting each other down just minutes ago, so how could soone sneak attack him in such a short period of ti? When he said little thief, had he been referring to her? This left her feeling even more enraged and she furiously replied, Are you saying I sneak attacked you? In that case, co and fight fair and square! A sword light suddenly streaked out, causing tall waves to stir beneath the surface of the usually calm lake.
Hou Guin was acutely aware of how strong Xiao Xue was, so he flinched away and beca timid and fearful. He was aware his tactic of placing the formation and then fleeing while it kept her occupied had angered her, and he was afraid shed truly end up killing him at the peak of her rage. He imdiately activated his flying spirit tool with a yell and hastily made his escape.
My grand aunty, soone really did sneak attack just then.
Nonsense! It soone was close enough to sneak attack you, how would I have not sensed it?
Can we pause for a mont? I really feel sothings not right.
Youll feel alright, right after Iyour grand auntygive you a few chops.
F*ck, damn woman, why do you not listen to ?
How dare you curse ! Watch strike you with my sword!
The two peopleone chasing, one fleeinggradually flew off far into the distance. Fang Xing simply jumped out from the back of the snowy hill and sighed as the pair disappeared into the distance. This is perhaps the very first ti Ive ever given away such good stuff. You two are in my debt for this one. After sighing, he quickly picked up his speed and fled in the opposite direction.
anwhile, after confirming the precise location the draconic essence had originally been seen, Chu Taishang and Prince Chu Huang realized the aura had disappeared. To be able to cover up the aura of the Dragon Blood Pellets, seems theyve got the help of soone powerful, Chu Taishang coldly spoke. Good. I shall borrow this chance to test my skills against yours and see how long youll be able to seal them in for. As he spoke, the Dragon Lotus Platform appeared atop his cloud once more and he began to perform the secret spell to activate the Dragon Blood Pellets aura. After a few more tries, the Peng Kings seal couldnt hold it in any longer and the sa light as before shot up from the eastern skies with a loud bang. Both Chu Taishang and Prince Chu Huang were overjoyed to see this and chased forward as fast as lightning.
Not far away, Xiao Xue was making her way back to the Sword Cleansing Court. Hou Guin had shalessly decided to hide inside his Demon God Valley, and since it would have been too improper for her to continue further, she could only return with heavy regret. At least she had Hou Guins storage sack and it was very likely hed co to ask for it backshed make certain he showed her the Epheral Demon God technique for her to test her sword techniques on at that ti.
Xiao Xue suddenly began to hear a buzzing sound, and the storage sack shed picked up abruptly filled with a purple light before dense spirit essence shot right up into the sky. Startled, she opened up the sack and dazedly wondered just when Hou Guin had gotten himself such a valuable pellet.
Xiao Xue didnt know what this pellet was called, but she was knowledgeable enough to tell with a single glance it wasnt sothing ordinary. With its purple shine, it was obvious its value was beyond imagination; even soone like her at Foundation Stage tier three was slightly moved. When she saw this pellet and how such a valuable item had co into her hands, she was even more certain Hou Guin would co back for it and shed be able to force him into a good fight.
A golden cloud flashed right in front of Xiao Xue before an elder and youth moved to block her path. The elder was surprised at first, but he quickly began to call out, Well well, Id been wondering who had enough ability and it turns out it was you who caused this trouble, little girl. Hurry and return the Dragon Blood Pellets to before coming along so we can reason it out in front of that old man Hu Qin. Call your shifu here as well; Im going to ask him why hed allow his pupil to interrupt my business and what kind of reason you had to do so.
Esteed Senior Chu. Xiao Xue had originally wanted to greet him, but she was incredibly confused to hear such angry words. Adding in the fact Chu Taishang was being rather rude, she began to grow annoyed and coldly replied, I dont know what youre talking about!
Chu Taishang didnt have the patience to speak with her nicely either and coldly snorted. Girl, co over here! He waved his large hand forward and attempted to seize Xiao Xue into his grasp.
What are you doing? Xiao Xue began to feel fear on top of her anger. With awoosh sound, her longsword was drawn from its sheath and she thrust it straight towards Chu Taishangs palm.
