Chapter 256: Showing off 164

The fourth Maned Wolf was downright ruthless, seizing the opportunity when its prey was weak to go for the kill, leaping up and opening its abyssal maw to bite down on Cheng Tianxi’s head.

Crack~

Cheng Tianxi’s neck snapped, his head carried off by the wolf’s jaws, while his lower body collapsed to the ground.

"Hahaha!"

Xigou was utterly delighted, exclaiming, "See that, with just one bite from a wolf, a warrior of the One Beast Realm is finished!"

Fang Zhixing’s eyebrows raised slightly.

If Cheng Tianxi had been surrounded by four real Third Level Maned Wolves, even if he had no chance of winning, there would still have been a chance for him to escape.

After all, the intelligence of Maned Wolves isn’t high, and their hunting coordination isn’t that sophisticated.

But Cheng Tianxi had the misfortune of encountering Maned Wolves with human intelligence, and moreover, they were Shadow Clones.

"A One Beast Realm warrior fell so fast." Fang Zhixing sighed softly to himself.

"I’m awesome, aren’t I, badass, right?!"

Xigou was beaming with joy; he had been frustrated for too long and could finally release his pent-up emotions unrestrainedly.

Eight Maned Wolves surrounded Cheng Tianen.

At that moment, Cheng Tianen glanced at his brother’s mangled body, his face twisting to the extreme.

"You beasts, you killed my brother!"

Cheng Tianen’s expression grew increasingly frenzied, anger, resentment, and ferocity swirling on his face into a terrifying emotional storm.

"I will kill you!"

Finally, he made his move, his form blurred as he lunged at one of the Maned Wolves.

In that instant, his figure became hazy, splitting into a myriad of illusions, ultimately producing nine shadows.

Each shadow acted differently, making it impossible to discern the real one.

"Oh, this is "Spiral Nine Shadows", he’s enhanced his agility."

Fang Zhixing’s gaze flickered, instantly recognizing Cheng Tianen’s trick.

However, while Spiral Nine Shadows might be mystical and could provide some advantage against others,

In front of Fang Zhixing, it was not worth a smirk.

He possessed both Dynamic Vision and Red Blood Pupil, two major visual abilities that could easily decipher Spiral Nine Shadows.

"Hmph, what kind of trash is this?"

Xigou scoffed, his keen sense of smell firmly locking onto Cheng Tianen, without needing to discern with his eyes.

He couldn’t help but sneer, "Playing with illusions in front of your lord’s Shadow Clones?"

In that moment, both the fifth and the sixth Maned Wolves used Shrinking Ground, lunging to bite the same illusion.

Meanwhile, the seventh Maned Wolf stood still, letting the illusion rush toward it.

The eighth Maned Wolf executed Wolf Shadow Gale Claw, sweeping its claw through the air.

A realization struck Cheng Tianen, prompting him to abruptly change his tactic. Stomping his foot, he sprang up from the spot.

The fifth and sixth Maned Wolves lunged at nothing, while the claw of the eighth also failed to connect.

However, the seventh Maned Wolf leaped fiercely, clawing through the air where Cheng Tianen was suspended.

Caught mid-jump, Cheng Tianen had nowhere to dodge.

"Die!"

Cheng Tianen held his breath, his muscles rapidly contracting as spikes eerily protruded from his skin, turning him into a human hedgehog.

"This is the "Hedgehog Skill"!"

Fang Zhixing realized, the corners of his mouth curving up involuntarily.

Cheng Tianen was of the Two Beasts Realm—he had enhanced both defense and agility.

Whoosh~

The claw struck Cheng Tianen, sending him flying backward.

Yet Cheng Tianen withstood the blow; aside from his clothes ripping, he was unharmed.

Not only that, he seized the momentum to kick repeatedly in midair, using the force to glide toward the distance.

Once he landed, he cast a resentful glance at Fang Zhixing and Xigou, then turned and bolted.

"Damn, he’s getting away!"

Xigou felt a jolt of panic. His battle experience was still too limited. He had messed up.

If he knew that Cheng Tianen had enhanced defense, he wouldn’t have attempted to attack with Wolf Shadow Gale Claw but would have directly pounced to tear him apart.

But by now, it was too late for regrets.

"Chase him!"

Xigou shouted in frustration, as all eight Maned Wolves surged forward.

"Woof woof woof~"

Cheng Tianen, as if his butt was on fire, exerted his strength to sprint furiously, making his way out of the Wild Fox Forest and back to his horse at the fastest speed, flipping onto the saddle.

"Giddy up~"

Cheng Tianen was emotionally turbulent. His horse was a steed known for both speed and stamina, not much inferior to the Maned Wolves.

"I can definitely escape!"

Cheng Tianen grasped the whip, flicking it, whipping it fiercely against the horse’s hind.

The horse raised its hooves and galloped forward.

Splat~

Suddenly, the horse’s two front hooves snapped unexpectedly, and it stumbled and fell forward.

Cheng Tianen, taking advantage of the momentum, fell to the ground, rolling over and quickly getting back up.

At some undetermined moment, Fang Zhixing had already caught up to his side.

"Go to hell!"

Cheng Tianen’s hatred for Fang Zhixing had reached its peak.

To be honest, he never imagined that a moment of curiosity, a moment of greed, would bring about such inexplicable disaster.

He swung his fist, which was covered in spines like a Wolf Fang Club, and smashed it forward.

"Power Charge Slash!"

Fang Zhixing stood still, one second, two seconds, three seconds!

It wasn’t until the third second that Cheng Tianen’s punch came thundering down.

"You’re too slow!"

Fang Zhixing said disdainfully, suddenly swinging his saber in a slash.

A beam of Cold Light burst forth from the Second Level Treasure Saber!

The saber’s edge struck Cheng Tianen’s hedgehog-like fist.

Whoosh!

The blade cut into the front of the fist and in an instant reached the wrist, then continued forward.

The two brushed past each other!

A moment later, Fang Zhixing raised his saber and maintained a steady, unmoving stance.

Cheng Tianen kept walking forward a few steps, his face filled with shock.

Crash!

An entire arm suddenly split open and the lower half fell to the ground.

Cheng Tianen looked down and clearly saw a trail of blood from his shoulder all the way to his chest.

Then his chest split open, displaced, his body cut in two, and he collapsed in a heap.

"Such a fast saber!"

The light in Cheng Tianen’s eyes quickly faded, and to the end, he couldn’t understand why his defense was so easily shattered.

Fang Zhixing’s saber cut through him as if slicing tofu, with an unstoppable, crushing force!

Just then, Xigou finally caught up!

Seeing Cheng Tianen killed by Fang Zhixing, he immediately became furious.

"Damn it, I expended eight lives just for show..."

Xigou was outraged, and the eight Maned Wolves pounced, savagely tearing apart Cheng Tianen, who was barely clinging to life.

Not long after, the eight Maned Wolves dissipated.

[Xigou Life Remaining Times: 1]

Xigou, upon seeing this, grumbled, "Fang Zhixing, even if you hadn’t made a move, I could have caught up to Cheng Tianen and killed him all the same!"

Fang Zhixing smiled, patted Xigou’s head, and praised, "Ah, right, right, you did well. Your overall strength has reached the Two Beasts Realm, although you only had one usage opportunity."

Xigou bared his teeth, grimaced, shook off Fang Zhixing’s hand, and whined, "Don’t look down on a dog; wait until your next level up, all my lives will come back."

The man and the dog quickly returned to the County.

Fang Zhixing came back to the study room in Yixiang House and sat down.

Reflecting on the Cheng brothers’ every word and deed, they seemed to clearly know why they were marked for death, but they did not say.

"Forget it, it’s pointless to dwell on it."

Fang Zhixing soon lost interest in them.

The Cheng brothers were just passersby in his life.

If they hadn’t interfered with each other’s lives, they could have lived peacefully.

But fate plays with people!

Fang Zhixing tore off a corner of paper, wrote down "Mission Completed," and then released the carrier pigeon.

"Hmm, time for a bath."

Fang Zhixing went upstairs to the bedroom.

Hongye had not yet slept; knowing Fang Zhixing enjoyed bathing, she had prepared early and immediately called for the servants to bring water.

Fang Zhixing undressed, submerged his body into the warm water, enjoying total relaxation.

Reaching out his hand, Hongye gave a shy smile and soon joined him.

The water rippled, splashing everywhere.

...

...

Two days passed in a flash.

People from Wind Singing Pavilion informed Fang Zhixing that the intelligence he had purchased was ready.

Fang Zhixing gladly proceeded there.

"Young Master, here is the information you asked for." The white-bearded old man handed out a piece of paper with a chuckle, passing it over.

Fang Zhixing took a look, and his expression gradually revealed his understanding.

The so-called "Turtle Pattern Stone" is a fossil.

After the death of a turtle Mutant Beast, if its body is washed into a great river, the shell sinks to the riverbed. Under the relentless assault of the swift current over the years, it gradually transforms into a very lustrous and beautiful fossil.

Put simply, a turtle shell, through geological processes and river activity, slowly becomes a beautiful gemstone.

As for the "Scale Clothing Powder"...
