Chapter 325: Chapter 323 Evil Qi Skill (Requesting Subscription)_1
Whoosh!
A streak of blue light sliced through the sky, traveling dozens of miles in an instant.
Amidst the flickering blue light, Fang Xi suddenly halted his Escape Light, and a series of Yi Wood Divine Light fell around him, forming a light shield for defense, his expression dark as he looked back.
Shortly after, a pitch-black Escape Light approached fiercely, incredibly fast!
"To think that you could discover me, seems like your Divine Consciousness is not weak..."
The pitch-black Escape Light converged to reveal a white-haired, gray-robed Cultivator in the mid Core Formation stage.
His face was filled with Evil Qi, clearly not a good sign.
And by the look of his Cultivation, he was even at the peak of the mid Core Formation stage, seemingly on the verge of advancing to the late stage.
"Who are you?"
With a gesture from Fang Xi, the ’Green Barley Sword’ automatically appeared in his hand, and he cast another glance backward, his brow slightly furrowed.
"I am Ling Potian, and I wish to conduct a trade with you, Sir!"
Ling Potian stood with his hands behind his back, a flash of crimson light in his eyes.
"Oh? And what trade might that be?"
Fang Xi smiled slightly and asked.
"I am willing to exchange the Spirit Stones, magical artifacts, and Secret Skills I possess... for the Vanishing Heart Orchid in your hands," Ling Potian said coldly.
Fang Xi’s expression turned abruptly cold, "Green Leaf Commerce Association... to actually betray a client’s privacy, I’ll remember this debt. As for your trade, I must regretfully decline!"
"Hmph... Refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
Ling Potian snorted coldly, and suddenly two black masses of Evil Qi emerged in the Void.
Within the Evil Qi, two monster beasts with tiger heads, leopard bodies, wings, and sharp claws—looking ferocious—suddenly appeared, launching a sneak attack on Fang Xi’s back!
Hiss! Hiss!
The Yi Wood Divine Light Shield emitted two crisp sounds, as series of Yi Wood Divine Thunder surged, Thunder Light striking the two monster beasts and easily shattering them, turning into two masses of Evil Qi.
These two monster beasts were not flesh and blood at all, but demon beasts condensed from Evil Qi!
"Sir, you initially suggested a trade, but then you secretly arranged this Evil Demon beast attack... Clearly, you weren’t sincere either."
The Green Barley Sword in Fang Xi’s hands flashed brilliantly, a force of Magic Power far surpassing early Core Formation stage suddenly burst forth.
"So you’ve reached the mid Core Formation stage already? No wonder you could see through the Evil Demon beast’s sneak attack..."
Ling Potian chuckled coldly several times, "This matter is my personal doing; it has nothing to do with the Commerce Association. Moreover... what’s wrong with capturing a Mixed Origin Sect fugitive?"
"Mixed Origin Sect fugitive?"
Fang Xi sighed, having guessed something, "This Mirage Bead really is trash, should throw it away next time..."
He hadn’t paid much attention to it before since Fang Xi was a new face in Yuan Country.
But he didn’t expect to be carrying a fugitive’s label now.
’Don’t need to think to know who’s behind this... Old Yan, I haven’t even obliterated Yiling Valley yet, and you’re already eyeing me... Noted in my little book, one day repayment shall come!’
Fang Xi’s eyes turned icy.
And just at that moment, a sound of sword chanting came from not far away!
A golden Sword Qi tore through the air, revealing a figure in a copper coin robe, looking like a wealthy gentleman—it was Li Haifeng!
"Brother Ling, how goes it?" Li Haifeng looked at Ling Potian, his voice steady.
"This man resists both persuasion and force, and he has already reached mid Core Formation... fortunately, you have come as promised. Together, our combined strength will surely capture him," Ling Potian responded through Divine Consciousness Transmission.
"Li Haifeng... Golden Sword Gate only has one Core Formation cultivator, don’t you fear dying here... causing the Golden Sword Gate to be obliterated?"
Fang Xi snorted coldly.
"No need for Sir to worry about this... Sir should consider how to deal with the Mixed Origin Sect," Li Haifeng countered coldly, slapping his dantian, his pupils instantly turning golden.
Roar!
A dragon’s chant echoed through the Void.
Streams of golden Sword Light spread out from his dantian, transforming into a radiant Flying Sword!
This was his life-bound magical artifact—the Nine Golden Swords!
It was a top-tier magical artifact, having been cultivated for many years with Core Fire, and its power was truly unimaginable.
Though Fang Xi was in the mid Core Formation stage, which was somewhat unexpected, both men were also mid Core Formation Cultivators, one a sword cultivator, the other practicing a formidable Cultivation method, both top-notch fighters within the mid Core Formation stage. They were confident that they could capture the mere Fang Xi.
Three formidable waves of Magic Power clashed and fought against one another, almost as if they were dispersing the clouds around them, sending countless birds and beasts below fleeing in panic.
"Sigh..."
Facing the onslaught of two mid Core Formation Cultivators, Fang Xi let out a slight sigh and took the initiative to strike!
Swoosh!
He held the ’Green Barley Sword’ and slashed fiercely!
A heaven-piercing and earth-transcending Zuxian Sword Qi appeared, with countless golden talismans flashing on it, shooting towards Ling Potian!
"This man’s life-bound magical artifact is extremely formidable!"
As the Sword Qi broke through the air, Ling Potian’s expression changed slightly. He formed hand seals, and his own life-bound magical artifact—the ’Chaotic Evil Bowl’—flew out. With a slight shake, different Evil Qis flew out from it, turning into nine ink-black walls, blocking in front of him.
Pu pu!
The Zuxian Sword Qi fiercely flashed, breaking through eight layers of the Evil Qi defense in succession and wearing down the ninth until only a thin layer of black remained before finally dissipating.
"Not good...this person is likely a battle cultivator whose combat skills are extremely sharp..."
Under the attack of a single sword move, Ling Potian’s complexion slightly changed, and he swiftly formed hand seals like windmills, infusing magic power into the ’Chaotic Evil Bowl,’ seemingly preparing to use some formidable technique.
"You too are a sword cultivator...I indeed should ask for some guidance."
Li Haifeng’s eyes brightened. Even before the Nine Golden Swords had flown out, they suddenly erupted in a clear ringing sound, automatically hovering behind him, and began projecting sword qi!
It turned out to be his life-bound Spirit Sword automatically protecting its master!
Whoosh whoosh!
The next moment, numerous pitch-dark flames appeared out of thin air, turning into clusters of fireballs and crashing down onto the sword qi screen.
Behind the pitch-black flames, a towering silhouette appeared.
The figure’s muscles were bulging and intertwined, adorned with bright flame patterns, and atop its head were two horns, continuously emitting red light.
At this moment, it was forming hand seals, continuously spitting out pitch-black flames from its mouth—it was the ’Mysterious Fire Zombie’!
"A third-order Corpse King?!"
Li Haifeng’s eyelid twitched slightly, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart. He felt that being swayed by Ling Potian’s promise to pursue and kill this man may have been a mistake.
But it was impossible to leave now, so he could only form another seal.
The Nine Golden Swords released beams of golden sword qi, and suddenly thousands of swords launched simultaneously, striking the Mysterious Fire Zombie!
Ding ding dang dang!
The Mysterious Fire Zombie manipulated the demon fire, transforming it into a Fire Dragon that devoured the golden sword qi.
The few sword qi attacks that missed their target and hit its body emitted metallic clashing sounds, causing small white dots to appear on its surface, which then rapidly recovered.
"Such a strong physique..."
Upon witnessing this scene, Li Haifeng’s eyelid twitched again. He took out several talismans from his bosom and infused them with his mid-Core Formation stage magic power, quickly activating the talismans.
Streams of golden flames emerged, turning into fireballs several meters wide, and they smashed toward the Mysterious Fire Zombie!
These were the third-order ’Golden Sun Fire Talismans’ he had purchased at great expense, a Yang attribute True Fire talisman that is particularly effective against Devil Corpses, Yin Souls, and the like!
In the face of the massive Golden Sun fireballs, the ever-unchanging face of the Mysterious Fire Zombie showed no hint of change as it suddenly opened its mouth wide.
Whoosh whoosh!
It was as if a strong wind had arisen in the void as a great amount of air was sucked into its mouth.
The gigantic ’Golden Sun True Fire’ was actually swallowed by the demon zombie, leaving only faint black smoke seeping from its orifices.
"How is this possible?"
Li Haifeng couldn’t help but turn truly pale with shock.
The demon zombie’s demon fire was not only formidable, but it was also unaffected by Yang attribute True Fire. It had a physique comparable to a magical artifact, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
And as he watched the demon zombie lunging toward him, Li Haifeng’s facial muscles twitched, and he guided the sword light to make a temporary retreat, seemingly overwhelmed by this Devil Corpse.
’Damn it...this bizarre Devil Corpse is too powerful...I can only engage it briefly, hoping that brother Ling will have a good result... this person is stronger than me, fully capable of being regarded as a late-Core Formation cultivator...’
Li Haifeng’s body erupted with bursts of sword light as he also took out a huge turtle shell and held it in front of him.
Boom!
The Mysterious Fire Zombie came up beside him, raising its hammer-like fists and smashed them down hard on the turtle shell artifact.
After a moment of shaking, a crack actually appeared on the surface of the turtle shell artifact.
Feeling the rapid depletion of magic power within his body, Li Haifeng couldn’t help but curse his bad luck, all while watching the battle between Ling Potian and Fang Xi.
He hoped Ling Potian would quickly defeat Fang Xi, but what unfolded before this mid-Core Formation cultivator made him widen his eyes in disbelief.
Green wave upon wave of Yi Wood Divine Light filled the sky, transforming into Flying Swords, Flying Daggers, Flying Spears, and other magical artifacts, bombarding the Evil Qi screen mercilessly.
Fang Xi, holding the Green Barley Sword, strolled around leisurely, occasionally swinging a few swords, seemingly pressing Ling Potian, a cultivator known for his combat prowess among mid-Core Formation cultivators, into a disadvantage!
"Damn it..."
At this point, Ling Potian also finally completed his incantation, his face revealing a fierce expression, "Just now I was holding back in order to fully execute my spells, allowing you to show off... Now, witness the might of my ’Evil Qi Skill’ divine abilities!"
Woo woo!
Atop his life-bound magical artifact—the Chaotic Evil Bowl—strands of Evil Qi appeared one after another, totaling nine in number.
And in the earlier chanting, these strands of Evil Qi started to ominously merge together, each fusion increasing the artifact’s power.
By this time, nine strands of Evil Qi had continuously merged, and a terrifying aura began to spread from the artifact!
Crack! Crack!
Two giant hands, each with nine fingers, landed on the rim of the tiny Chaotic Evil Bowl, as if it were connected to some mysterious space, with a terrifying demon ready to emerge from within!
’This Evil Qi Skill indeed contains some substance... When combined with the artifact, it is even more profound.’
’This demonic aura is formidable, most likely reaching the late-Core Formation stage...’
Fang Xi’s Divine Thought swept across the field, and his hand wielding the ’Green Barley Sword’ suddenly made a slash!
A beam of Zuxian Sword Qi fiercely struck the Spirit Pearl artifact released by Ling Potian, shaking it repeatedly, but it still persisted.
But just then, the sound of breaking the air rose sharply!
Three dark beams of light appeared, like a demon’s claw, fiercely piercing from behind Ling Potian!
In front of the dark light, his magical artifact’s protective barrier seemed like it couldn’t withstand a single blow, flickering weakly for a few moments before extinguishing entirely!
—Poisonous Dragon Claw!
