Chapter 361: Chapter 359 Breaking the Formation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1
"It’s the High Family Twin Demons!"
Although Feng Bingxian kept stimulating the Ice Soul Cold Light, seemingly exchanging blows with the pitch-black flying knife magical artifact, her heart was secretly filled with bitterness.
These two Core Formation cultivators opposite her had a bit of fame in Yuan Country. They were a pair of brothers whose cultivation techniques complemented each other, and when they joined forces, they could battle against mid-Core Formation cultivators.
She was merely at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and although the External Pill she had refined was quite remarkable, it only allowed her to match an early Core Formation cultivator at most.
Against these two, it wasn’t long before she fell into a desperate situation.
"Haha... today is indeed a day for us brothers to make a fortune... Such an opportunity comes once in a thousand years. We can not only get our hands on a Gold Core Pill that’s worth a fortune, but this woman’s External Pill is also quite good and can fetch a nice price!"
The short cultivator let out a cold chuckle.
"Hmph... A mere two early Core Formation, daring to lay hands on someone from the Profound Ice Palace?"
Just then, a rough voice sounded.
Dark demon light engulfed the skies, turning into a pitch-black Demon Pearl that smashed onto the flying knife magical artifact.
With a mournful cry, the flying knife magical artifact was snapped by a single hit!
The short cultivator’s complexion changed as he spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood: "My magical artifact..."
The tall cultivator, on the other hand, looked toward the direction from which the Demon Pearl came and saw a burly man with a fierce appearance, rushing over with Escape Light.
This person was none other than Fang Xi, who had used an Illusion technique to once again change his appearance.
His heart was ultimately soft, and he couldn’t bear to see Feng Bingxian dying right in front of him, so he took action in disguise.
Seeing him appear, a hint of surprise emerged on Feng Bingxian’s face: "Young Master..."
"Retreat!"
The short cultivator immediately roared.
His life-bound magical artifact was destroyed, and his Primordial Energy was greatly damaged. The fact that this newly appeared burly man was at mid-Core Formation stage meant he was truly not easy to deal with.
The tall cultivator nodded with a grim face. They remained protected by a pitch-black jade ruler as they slowly retreated.
"Hmph!"
Fang Xi was certainly not going to let these two get away. With a cold snort, he immediately launched the Primordial Demon Stab.
With his current strength of Divine Consciousness, the mere two early Core Formation cultivators instantly screamed in pain, feeling as if their heads were splitting apart, even their jade ruler magical artifact became unstable.
Seizing the opportunity, the pitch-black Demon Pearl transformed into a bolt of lightning and struck the jade ruler, causing the ghostly white flames to extinguish by half and the Spiritual Shield to fluctuate.
Roar Roar!
The Lion Tiger Beast took the opportunity to perform a Wind Escape, appearing behind the two cultivators, its claws pouncing out.
Pu pu twice!
Its claws easily tore through the jade ruler’s already thin protective shield and landed on the bodies of the two Core Formation cultivators.
The High Family Twin Demons were still suffering from the intense pain caused by the Primordial Demon Stab, their Divine Consciousness unable to react in time, and were thus torn to shreds...
"Take in!"
Only then did Fang Xi point to the pitch-black Demon Pearl, causing it to take in the Lion Tiger Beast and return to his hand.
"Thank you, Young Master, for your rescue..."
Feng Bingxian landed and gracefully saluted.
"Forget it..."
Fang Xi casually called to collect the Storage Bags of the High Family Twin Demons, glancing at Feng Bingxian: "Did you get the Gold Core Pill?"
A void filled Feng Bingxian’s heart, but still, she bit her silver teeth: "I got it, and if the Young Master wants it... I can..."
"Forget it, this is also your opportunity. Let’s leave this place of trouble before we speak," Fang Xi waved his hand, and in his eyes, a glint of purple light twinkled: "The sir who has been watching us the whole time can also come out now, right?"
"Hehe... nothing can be hidden from the sir."
A white-haired elder emerged from the shadows. His aura was originally weak to the extreme but suddenly began to strengthen bit by bit until it reached the level of Perfect Core Formation!
He smiled and cupped his fists: "Zhong Wuwang, a guest elder of the Green Leaf Commerce Association, has met the sir!"
"So it’s someone from the Green Leaf Commerce Association."
Fang Xi glanced at Feng Bingxian who stood beside him and said indifferently: "What are you hiding, not assisting in repelling the Nascent Soul old monster, and coming here instead?"
"Hehe... With several Core Formation executives from our association cooperating with the power of the Origin Magnetism Great Array, that senior should be able to be held at bay for a moment or two. Yet, my responsibility is to catch the thief who intentionally set up and framed our association... I already had some clues, but I didn’t expect to witness another tragedy," Zhong Wuwang looked at the Core Formation corpse on the ground, his face full of regret: "This man was a buyer from our association. He has yet to take half a step out of the market when he was beheaded, and even his Gold Core was stolen, I really can’t ignore this."
"After all this talk, aren’t you just afraid to face the Nascent Soul old monster and at the same time covetous of the Gold Core Pill and the Storage Bags of these Core Formation cultivators?"
Fang Xi sighed, as the aura around him began to increase, revealing his true cultivation at the late-Core Formation stage: "Would you be willing to let us go? As though our paths had never crossed, how about that?"
"Indeed... being able to easily kill the High Family Twin Demons, ’Yun Jiezi’, your cultivation has long broken through the late-Core Formation stage. In Yuan Country, you’re certainly a force to be reckoned with," Zhong Wuwang’s face flashed with a sly smile: "If we were in some desolate wilderness, I might really have to consider your offer seriously. Unfortunately... this place is Hovering Mountain Market!"
He raised his hand and called forth a talisman flag that flickered with light; in his right hand, he was already holding a black and white Array Flag.
"An Array Flag of the Origin Magnetism Great Array?!"
Fang Xi, recognizing this scene, already knew that this man had made up his mind to kill them both.
After all, the other party was at the Perfect Core Formation level, and within the Fourth Tier Great Array, even a small amount of the prohibition’s power was more than enough to kill a late-Core Formation cultivator and an External Pill cultivator.
"Precisely..."
Zhong Wuwang sneered, wielding the black and white Array Flag.
A ray of The Divine Light of Biyi Magnetism descended, the terrifying aura overflowing...
Feng Bingxian originally sat with her eyes closed, awaiting her fate, but finding nothing amiss with her body, she couldn’t help but open her eyes in confusion.
Before her, the Divine Light of Biyi Magnetism was being pinched in Fang Xi’s hand, as if it were a mere toy.
"The power of Biyi Magnetism is indeed remarkable. However, to think such a minor fraction of the Great Array’s power could kill me? Haha..."
With a gentle pinch of his slender index and middle fingers, the Divine Light of Biyi Magnetism exploded into fragments.
Not just that, an air of terrifying might flashed briefly from him as he formed a hand seal: "Human Realm Path!"
He boldly executed the Six Paths Reincarnation Skills of Yama!
This "Human Realm Path" could seize an enemy’s magical weapons, much like what had befallen the Poisonous Dragon Claw before!
"Hm?"
Zhong Wuwang’s expression changed drastically as he suddenly felt the array flag in his hand losing control, nearly flying out of his grasp.
At that moment, Fang Xi reached out with a summoning gesture.
Terrifying spiritual energy converged in his hand, forming a blood-colored spear adorned with countless dark runes flickering: "Asura Path!"
A staggering aura burst forth, utterly shocking Zhong Wuwang into a state of sheer terror: "No... you... you’re a Nascent Soul..."
As a long-standing guest elder of the commerce association, he had met that ancient patronage. The sensation Fang Xi gave him now was almost indistinguishable from that of the great patron. How could he not realize his horrendously bad luck, having provoked another formidable Nascent Soul elder?
Zhong Wuwang hastily slapped his dantian, spewing out a bronze cauldron as a shield in front of him, and urgently said, "Senior, please spare my life... I have..."
Fang Xi couldn’t be bothered to listen as he let the blood-colored spear fly from his grip.
Crack!
In an instant, the spear reached the bronze cauldron, its tip bursting with countless blood-colored lightning strikes, creating cracks all over the cauldron.
Damage to his life-bound magical artifact whitened Zhong Wuwang’s face, causing him to spew out a mouthful of essence blood.
To his horror, he realized that even his own life-bound magical artifact couldn’t withstand the blood-colored spear for long.
Was a Nascent Soul elder truly to be feared to such an extent?
Biting his teeth, Zhong Wuwang drew a talisman from his chest, but before he could use it, a cold snort by his ear caused him an intense headache.
At this point, Fang Xi threw the second and the third blood-colored spears.
Crack!
The second spear slammed the bronze cauldron into the ground, eliciting a mournful cry from the artifact, which nearly shattered and lost its spirit.
As for the third and final spear, it landed right in front of Zhong Wuwang.
Crack!
Countless blood-colored lightnings danced wildly, with dark runes mixed in.
When all phenomena had faded, there was nothing left at the site except a large crater; Zhong Wuwang had vanished.
"Sir... You... You are... a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Feng Bingxian, witnessing the scene, covered her lips in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
"Let’s go..."
Fang Xi, offering no further explanation, merely waved his hand to collect Zhong Wuwang’s storage bag and take the black-and-white array flag in hand: "It would have been somewhat troublesome to lead you out through the Origin Magnetism Great Array, but now it will be much easier..."
Fully aware of the principle that it is unwise to stay in a place of danger too long, Feng Bingxian followed Fang Xi, and they both turned into escape light and rapidly withdrew.
Cultivators are always perceptive; during the previous Core Formation great battle, those at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining levels didn’t dare to approach. And with such drastic events unfolding now, even fewer would dare come forth.
When Feng Bingxian and Fang Xi reached the edge of the Origin Magnetism Great Array, they saw the black-and-white hues almost sealing the heavens, with countless runes flashing brilliantly.
"Let’s go!"
Based on his knowledge of arrays, Fang Xi approached a spot where the power of origin magnetism was weakest and injected his magic power into the black-and-white array flag.
Even though this array flag wasn’t one of the main ones, it still held partial authority and could easily open a passage.
Waving the flag, the seemingly impregnable black-and-white Divine Light of Biyi Magnetism parted, creating a gap just wide enough for a single person.
Seeing this, Feng Bingxian immediately showed a hint of joy.
Their escape lights joined, and they entered the passage, quickly arriving on the outside.
"Sir..."
Seeing that Fang Xi has exited the reach of the Origin Magnetism Great Array but didn’t leave, seemingly waiting for something, Feng Bingxian couldn’t help but feel curious.
Fang Xi stood with his hands behind his back, and before long, a yellow cloud emerged from the passage, unveiling two figures.
One of them was the girl with Heavenly Spirit root that Fang Xi had seen being auctioned before; the other was enormously headed and disproportionate to his slender body, completely bald except for a few white hairs fluttering, garbed in tattered yellow robes, unattractive in appearance but with an unfathomably deep cultivation.
"Huang Yungong, an individual cultivator from Jiang Country, thanks you for your assistance!"
Huang Yungong introduced himself, his gaze towards Fang Xi carrying a hint of awe as he clasped his hands in thanks.
"No need for formalities, sir. Even without me, it would have taken you little time to leave with someone..." Fang Xi responded with a slight smile.
"That is not necessarily the case. I am no expert in arrays. If it took too long and that old ghost blocked the way, it indeed would have been a bit troublesome... However, now that I have securely settled my disciple... heh heh... that Green Leaf Commerce Association, along with the Blood Sect, and those plotting behind the scenes, they all must pay it back one by one!" Huang Yungong replied with a cold laugh.
A Nascent Soul individual cultivator without the burden of a sect can be terrifying when seeking vengeance, and surely the various sects of Yuan Country would have a headache.
Even more so as Huang Yungong was clearly one to hold a grudge and with a reclusive temperament.
Fang Xi, however, seemed indifferent—and even hoped to see it happen: "With that said, I shall take my leave now."
He took Feng Bingxian with him and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing into the distance.
Meanwhile, a voice from Huang Yungong’s Divine Consciousness Transmission echoed in his ear: "If you ever come to Jiang Country, you are welcome to visit ’Yellow Cloud Cave’..."
