Chapter 1044: Chapter 898: Magical Duel (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)

"Sir... what a grandiose claim."

Upon hearing this, Qingxu Child’s face involuntarily flashed a hint of indignation.

All of them were Mahayana Monks, and even though a single Mahayana Monk’s combat power greatly influenced the battlefield, it was not an excuse for the other party to act so recklessly.

Moreover, deep down in his heart, there was still a trace of pride.

After all, he was a Mahayana Monk who had survived four calamities and wielded a rare treasure from the Immortal Mansion, feeling somewhat entitled due to his age and experience.

"Wu Xingzi is at my mercy to kill, and I have to keep the name behind Old Meng intact, after all, it’s all about saving some face for the Mahayana Monks... hehe."

Fang Xi sneered coldly and directly raised his hand.

From the Storage Ring, a head and a magical artifact appeared.

One of the heads was a huge rhino’s head, and despite being dead, it still exuded streaks of Demon Qi and carried a ferocious aura, naturally belonging to Old Ancestor Wangyue.

The other artifact was a black seal with a crack on its surface, clearly Old Meng’s life-bound magical artifact!

"Old Meng!?"

Che Xuanyuan and Master Bu, upon seeing this scene, couldn’t help but jump in shock, "This... this..."

"The Mahayana standing behind Qing Hezi... could it actually be you, too? No... no, that doesn’t match up with the timing... could it be that you’re not a newly ascended Mahayana?"

Qingxu Child, upon seeing Old Meng’s life-bound magical artifact, immediately understood many things.

However, Fang Xi should have advanced to Mahayana only recently, but the slaying of Old Meng had occurred before that, which puzzled him.

"I am indeed Qing Hezi!"

Fang Xi stood with his hands behind his back, "Old Meng dared to make a move against me. He should not only die but also face complete disgrace and have all his descendants and disciples implicated!"

"Amitabha..."

Jin Gangzi, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but rotate his prayer beads faster.

He only knew that Fang Xi had killed Old Ancestor Wangyue but had not expected that the other party had also made a big covert move.

The death of Old Meng turned out to be this man’s doing!

"To consecutively kill two Mahayana Monks... Sir’s talent might be comparable to that of Di Yi."

Master Bu’s eyes flashed with admiration, "I’ve actually felt that both Old Meng and Wu Xingzi deserved a severe punishment!"

He had wanted to support Fang Immortal Taoist Master, but to his dismay, Old Meng had shown no shame.

After a grave mistake was made, he was helpless to act.

Now that he witnessed Fang Xi displaying his strength, he immediately made his stance clear.

Killing one Mahayana Monk might be described as a fluke, but killing two consecutively couldn’t be explained by luck or traps alone.

"Alas... one reaps what one sows, there’s no living it down."

Che Xuanyuan looked at the damaged magical artifact of Old Meng, showing a hint of a helpless bitter smile.

"Good, Sir truly has remarkable methods."

Qingxu Child’s expression turned cold, "Even so, what if I still refuse to agree?"

"Naturally, those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish..."

Fang Xi seemed to be discussing something utterly ordinary, "Why, Qingxu Child, do you wish to try your hand against me?"

"I just want to test your methods."

Qingxu Child’s hand revealed a huge cattail fan, from which clouds of murky winds began to appear.

"Wait!"

Che Xuanyuan was instantly taken aback, "We are all pillars of the human race. How can we fight so recklessly? Even if we fight, within this city, I fear we would destroy it before the Monster and Alien races attack."

"We don’t have to go that far..."

Master Bu said, "I have a Heaven Treasure known as ’Banner of Two Realms.’ Its void is incredibly resilient and can withstand the might of a Mahayana Monk. Why not have both Sirs move the battle into the banner?"

"Agreed!"

Fang Xi immediately consented.

No matter what Master Bu was plotting, Fang Xi, who possessed the Treasures of All Heavens, would not possibly be trapped, much less fall into a deadly situation.

"Haha, excellent, please!"

Master Bu took out a small banner.

This banner was entirely blue, and although originally only the size of a palm, it quickly swelled as he infused it with Immortal Origin Power.

The banner’s surface shimmered, revealing stars one after another.

Countless Phoenix Seal Scripts emerged, merging with one another to form one Prohibition after another.

On the banner’s face, a silver vortex appeared, emitting strong void fluctuations, clearly a very fine Heaven Treasure.

’Pity... it’s still useless in the Immortal Realm,’ Fang Xi glanced at it and made a mental comment, voluntarily entering it.

Whoosh!

The world instantly transformed!

Wherever he looked, Clear Qi rose, Impure Qi sank, and a land of white gold stretched out in the middle; peaks of swords, constructed entirely of metal, soared straight up into the sky.

On these mountain peaks, there were also sword marks.

Accompanied by void fluctuations, several other Mahayana Monks and Jin Gangzi also entered.

"This place was intended for honing my swords and is devoid of any living beings, both Sirs can unleash their full strength."

Master Bu solemnly stated.

"This is excellent."

Qingxu Child looked around and the light on his cattail fan flickered continuously, releasing dazzling radiance and exuding the terrifying fluctuations of a rare treasure from the Immortal Mansion.

Had he not possessed the ’Wind And Fire Fan,’ a rare treasure, he would not have thought to measure Fang Xi’s Divine Skill and Magic Power.

’A complete Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure? Indeed, not bad...’ Fang Xi noticed it and nodded inwardly.

The sight of this fan reminded him of the ’Five Fires Seven Birds Fan,’ but, unfortunately, that Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure’s whereabouts were unknown.

Even the Sacred Fire Sect of the Mortal Realm had long been extinct, with the clues broken for countless years...

And for him now, an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure could no longer change the overall situation.

In fact, in terms of lifespan, Fang Xi, who was battling inner strife as an illusion god, feared Mahayana of the human race the least!

"Please!"

He laughed lightly, and the fifth generation Green Barley Sword appeared directly in his hand.

The Immortal Origin Power of a Mahayana level directly formed a section of the sword blade on the Green Barley Sword, merging perfectly with the final tip, turning into a longsword resembling a Green Leaf.

"This sword..."

Upon seeing the Green Barley Sword in Fang Xi’s hand, Jin Gangzi was struck with a thought: "It seems to have some connection with Changqingzi and the Sword Sect..."

Whoosh whoosh!

Knowing that Fang Xi was a ruthless person who had slain two Mahayana, Qingxu Child did not dare to be careless at all in his attack.

Yellowed radiance flickered on the Wind and Fire Fan, and clusters of strange wind appeared, sweeping toward Fang Xi.

"Slash!"

Fang Xi was equally discourteous with Qingxu Child, slashing directly with the fifth generation Green Barley Sword.

A streak of jade-like Sword Light swept across, within it was the Power of Wood Attribute Law, glinting thread by thread with a fine light.

Pff!

Green strands pierced through the yellowish strange wind.

Green and yellow entwined, occupying a large swathe of the sky.

Occasional aftershocks fell, and a mountain as solid as metal would collapse with a thunderous crash, causing Master Bu’s expression to shift subtly.

When the radiance finally dissipated, the Void slowly closed up.

The initial clash between the two appeared to be an even split.

But Che Xuanyuan sucked in a breath of cold air.

He was naturally aware of the difference between a complete Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure and an ordinary Mahayana Monk.

Qingxu Child had gone all out, with the aid of an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure, yet it was still inferior to the incomplete Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure in Fang Xi’s hand.

This could only mean—the gap in strength between them was too great!

After all, the boost to the Power of Rules by a complete Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure was absolutely far greater than that provided by a damaged one.

With such aid, to barely achieve a standstill only proved that Fang Xi’s mastery of magical power and Divine Skills far exceeded Qingxu Child!

"It’s not over yet!"

Qingxu Child kept reciting complex and tongue-twisting incantations, as the Wind and Fire Fan flickered with flowing light, suddenly growing immensely large.

Thereafter, he violently fanned it.

Another stream of strange green wind descended!

This strange wind seemed somewhat similar to the wind of the Wind Tribulation during a Mahayana ordeal, yet its power far exceeded it, stripping away layers of the Void.

Then, within the strange green wind, tendrils of yellow flames emerged.

Originally just a few flames, they grew furiously in the wind, becoming wildly tumultuous.

"Heavenly Gang Wind? Immortal Flames?"

Master Bu and Che Xuanyuan exchanged a glance, a trace of fear surfacing in their eyes.

Both the ’Heavenly Gang Wind’ and ’Immortal Flames’ were objects of legend from the Immortal Realm; with the wind fueling the flames, the power of the Immortal Flames surged vastly, and even Mahayana Monks would not wish to touch them.

"Hmph!"

Facing the strange green Heavenly Gang Wind and the bright yellow Immortal Flames, Fang Xi snorted coldly, his physique emanating a white-golden hue.

A ’True Body of Sky Demon’ gathered behind him, its giant palm fingers closing together to throw a punch!

Pff!

Where the fist wind passed, the Void shattered, causing the Immortal Flames to tremble violently before they began to extinguish.

His hands flicked rapidly, as streams of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light shot out, turning into huge green-red swords in a mysterious formation within the Void, suddenly forming a Great Array as they crashed down!

The colossal swords transformed by the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light stood like pillars of heaven, arrayed around Qingxu Child.

The green Heavenly Gang Wind scraped over the colossal swords, only managing to leave profound marks, which were then swiftly erased with a flash of blue light.

"A Sword Array?"

"This array... surely it must already be of the eighth order, or even close to ninth?"

Jin Gangzi silently sweated for Qingxu Child.

He had no place to speak in a battle of Mahayana Monks, but if the highest combat power of the human race suffered heavy casualties, the Monster Clan and Alien races would probably die laughing.

Fang Xi, however, paid no heed to these concerns, raising the fifth generation Green Barley Sword high.

Above the green blade, silver Phoenix Seal Scripts emerged, and strands of silver-white radiance formed a little green and silver sword, suddenly slashing out!

Encircled by numerous Phoenix Seal Scripts, the small sword vanished suddenly.

Whoosh!

With a flash of Sword Light, it reappeared behind Qingxu Child.

Qingxu Child’s body wrapped in green light, along with the defensive light screens formed by many treasures, was pierced as though it was nothing more than a Phantom.

Such a terrifying mastery of the Void caused Qingxu Child’s face to change dramatically.

As the little green and silver sword slashed down, a fierce storm swept over, engulfing him...

"Sword Array, fall!"

Fang Xi cast a spell with one hand, and the tremendous Sword Array formed from Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light also converged towards the center.

Pff, pff!

A horrific Sword Qi howled, piercing through the metallic mountains and the continent, even penetrating the Clear Qi and Impure Qi...

"My treasure!?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Master Bu exclaimed in shock.
