Chapter 652: 353 is here

This, Fang Zhixing should just listen for face value, and he responded indifferently, "Black Bat Evil Master, there’s no point in beating around the bush."

The Black Bat Evil Master chuckled dryly, stroked his beard, and said gravely, "To be candid with you, Fang, our situation is actually quite similar to yours, being viewed as great traitors by the Court."

"I have a believer who has infiltrated the Imperial Palace and happened to overhear a piece of significant news."

"The current Emperor plans to explore the Outer Sea once again!"

"But it’s a deadly mission. Nine out of ten who go to the Outer Sea do not survive. Few live to tell the tale."

"To staff the ocean-going ships, the current Emperor has adopted a minister’s suggestion to use some death row prisoners."

"Moreover, ordinary death row inmates won’t suffice, they need those who are powerful masters."

"Thus, the current Emperor has commanded the Aristocratic Families and the major Sects to capture Demon Cultivators for him."

"Each power has been allotted their tasks, whoever fails will have to replace us and head to the Outer Sea."

"With this ruckus, all forces are in a state of emergency, starting to eradicate and capture us, forcing us into hiding without a moment’s peace," he explained.

The Black Wing Venerable added, "Before we came to find you, people like the Elder Bai Gui and the Shadow Sect Hierarch had already been tragically captured."

The Black Bat Evil Master continued, "You and I are now in the same boat, we must unite and help each other. By banding together, we can resist the Court and perhaps carve out a glimmer of hope."

The Black Wing Venerable incessantly spoke, "Without a leader, dragons cannot thrive even for a single day. After much consideration, aside from you, Fang, no one else possesses the strength to intimidate the various warriors and unify the factions, thus we wished to honor you as the Demon Emperor."

The two of them spoke in concert, passionately detailing their case.

Listening carefully, Fang Zhixing burst into incredulous laughter, "After all this fuss, it turns out you’re being pressured by the current Emperor."

The Black Bat Evil Master bowed respectfully, his face earnest, "This is a divine opportunity, a great mission bestowed by heaven, may I know your thoughts, Fang?"

Fang Zhixing flatly stated, "I’m not interested in becoming any Demon Emperor, you two should choose another leader."

The Black Bat Evil Master and the Black Wing Venerable glanced at each other, a trace of gloom emerging between their brows.

However, they weren’t greatly surprised, seemingly having anticipated Fang Zhixing’s refusal.

"Hold your decision!"

The Black Bat Evil Master smiled, reminding, "We’ve received news that Prince Jiao, commanding many masters, has come to Qian State to find you, his approach is ferocious, a battle between you and Prince Jiao is inevitable."

He and the Black Wing Venerable bowed again, "Should you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to command us."

"Prince Jiao, huh..."

Fang Zhixing sighed softly, clicking his tongue, "Let him come, I’ve been wanting to meet him for a while."

Afterward, he took Xigou and flew forward.

Xigou wondered, "With people eagerly wanting to follow you, why not accept them?"

Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes, commenting, "Just a bunch of ungrateful wolves."

"..."

Xigou felt awkward, was this indirectly scolding him?

Hours passed in a flash.

Fang Zhixing gradually flew out of Qian State, nearing Chu State.

It was then, when an unexpected change occurred!

While speeding forward, Fang Zhixing suddenly stopped again, his gaze sharpening.

Suddenly, at the edge of his vision, a figure appeared, hair disheveled, dressed in white as snow, a lone person with a sword.

"Who goes there?"

Fang Zhixing, unflinching, poised for action.

The man in white bowed slightly and stated plainly, "I am nobody of significance in Jianghu, known by the nickname ’Seal Throat Upon Sighting Blood.’"

Understanding, Fang Zhixing responded, "So you’re an assassin, indeed assassins don’t need much fame."

The man in white nodded, "I am here to kill you. Killing you might make me famous."

Fang Zhixing’s lips curved slightly, "Your bravery is commendable, I’ve always appreciated people full of courage."

The man in white spoke blandly, "I actually don’t have so much courage, but I am not alone. When there are more people, naturally, there is more courage."

No sooner had he finished speaking than two figures appeared in a flash.

One was a stooped old man, and the other a little girl.

Fang Zhixing glanced at them curiously, asking, "And who might you two be?"

The girl spoke up first, her voice particularly shrill and fiery, "I am Granny Bai Gui from the Hundred Ghosts, surely you must have heard of me?"

Fang Zhixing frowned, "What is Elder Bai Gui to you?"

Granny Bai Gui snorted, "He’s my son."

Realizing, Fang Zhixing exclaimed, "I just heard that Elder Bai Gui was captured by the Court, your arrival right after can’t be a coincidence, can it?"

Granny Bai Gui coldly huffed, "Killing you will secure my son’s release."

Fang Zhixing inwardly sighed, as expected, then he turned to the stooped old man.

This man’s dress was very peculiar, wearing an old red garment that looked strikingly like a Eunuch’s uniform.

Moreover, as soon as he appeared, he stared directly at Fang Zhixing, his expression extremely gloomy as if he bore a deep grudge.

"The old servant is the personal eunuch of King Chu Crown, Jiao Yuangao."

The stooped old man spoke, "I came to see you just to confirm one thing – has my master really fallen?"

Fang Zhixing sighed, nodded, and said, "The King Chu Crown is indeed dead. He encountered a young black goat, fought a fierce battle, was exhausted, and then I killed him."

"You bastard, you deserve to die!"

Jiao Yuangao burst into a rage, his figure suddenly swelling.

All of a sudden, the old eunuch transformed into an immensely large centipede, its body stretching a kilometer long, its shell bursting with the hue of cold metal, and countless legs growing on both sides of its body.

The giant centipede clouded the sky with its foggy breath — opening its mouth, a thick gray fog rolled out, rapidly enveloping and obscuring the sun.

"Be careful, it’s poisonous!"

Xigou cried out; his nose twitched slightly, confirming that the gray fog was highly toxic.

Without a second word, Fang Zhixing took Xigou and plunged downward.

Through the thick clouds,

Below, the ground was covered with towering mountains, occasionally dotted with small towns and villages.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

The giant centipede roared, twisting its massive body to dive swiftly.

Atop the centipede’s head was a huge human face with green runes emerging on the forehead, twinkling brightly.

It took one deep breath!

The abyss-like mouth opened wide, suddenly transforming into a black hole, devouring everything around it.

As Fang Zhixing was flying downward, he immediately felt a tremendous pulling force descending, dragging his body upward.

Fang Zhixing looked up, the entire view filled not with sky or clouds, but a giant gaping maw.

It appeared like a space rift, madly devouring and shredding everything.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but sneer, "You actually want to eat me? Aren’t you afraid of choking!"

He gripped his Five Elements Ten Thousand People Blade and swung upward.

"Sword Mountain and Fire Sea!"

Black flames surged upward, sweeping through massively, spreading across the entire sky.

The giant centipede was instantly engulfed by the sea of fire.

That wasn’t all; countless large swords, with their blades pointed skyward, appeared out of nowhere.

Pchhh!

Blood sprayed wildly!

The giant centipede was pierced by one blade after another, its entire body filled with blades.

"Ah~"

Jiao Yuangao screamed in agony, his body twisting in unbearable pain.

"What great blade skill!"

From the depths of the clouds, a loli’s laughter echoed.

The next moment, Fang Zhixing suddenly turned his head, shifting his body several meters.

Something flashed past his original position.

Fang Zhixing focused his gaze and immediately saw it clearly — it was a tiny, delicate ghostly claw.

"What is this, it’s so cold!"

Xigou suddenly shivered, his teeth clattering uncontrollably, quivering intensely.

However, the surrounding temperature hadn’t noticeably dropped.

There was no frost forming on Xigou’s body.

The next second, Fang Zhixing’s body also trembled, feeling a strange chill engulfing his entire body.

"What a tactic!"

Fang Zhixing raised an eyebrow, looking towards the depths of the clouds, and clicked his tongue, "Deserving of being known as the Hundred Ghosts Child Grandmother, capable of attacking my soul directly."

"Oh my, did you notice that so quickly?"

The Hundred Ghosts Child Grandmother released a tinkling, giggle-like laugh, responding, "This Burst Skill is called ’Nine Netherworld Nether King Claw.’ It can’t hurt the physical body but can severely damage one’s soul. After practicing hard for more than two hundred years, I finally mastered this killer move."

"Hmm, well-praised!"

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath, and then his body burst into brilliant golden light.

Humming!

The golden holy light was incredibly intense, like a gold fountain erupting forth, its light blazing for thousands of miles.

The clouds were quickly tinged with gold...
