Chapter 1083: Chapter 937: Battle Without Reason

"This is utterly baffling."

Fang Xi was at a loss for words regarding the person being pursued.

The escape light headed straight for him, clearly intending to drag him into the fray.

If that was the case, he couldn’t be blamed for making a quick exit.

Although the Wood Escape Skill was merely a common escape technique, when used by a Mahayana Monk, it possessed an almost mystical power.

With just a few flickers, he had appeared atop an ancient tree a hundred miles away.

As for the battle behind him, he naturally wouldn’t concern himself with it.

A real man never looks back at a fight!

Fang Xi discerned his direction and flew towards the Golden Bamboo Sea.

Just then, another escape light appeared not far away.

This escape light was completely dark, pulsating with magic power fluctuations of Mahayana level, almost as if it could sense his position.

It suddenly turned and blocked Fang Xi’s path.

The escape light receded, revealing a dark-robed man with a soft appearance, red lips, and white teeth, who looked exceedingly handsome, but a blood-colored belt was wrapped around his waist.

In terms of attire, he seemed somewhat similar to those three pursuing Mahayana cultivators.

"Sir, may I inquire, have you perhaps seen a bronze carriage?"

The dark-robed man greeted with a smile, seemingly polite as he asked.

"I have not, and I have urgent matters to attend to, so I will take my leave."

Fang Xi snorted coldly and his escape light flashed.

In the next moment, the void suddenly filled with numerous pitch-black threads.

Upon these murky threads, streaks of black fire abruptly appeared, transforming into clawed and fanged beetles, dense and numerous like a dark wall blocking Fang Xi’s way.

Fang Xi’s escape light abruptly stopped, and he pointed with his hand.

Whiz!

A beam of ’Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light’ shot forth, turning into a flying sword with intertwined green and red colors. The blade shone brightly, and in an instant, it performed seven or eight variations, slashing forcefully onto the black beetles’ wall!

Pfft!

The beetle shield wall was sliced open, revealing a gash exposing golden patterns within.

A multitude of talisman characters emerged, forming complex prohibitions.

"Hmm?"

Although the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light was his most commonplace technique, Fang Xi was still somewhat surprised that it could withstand one of his strikes.

He waved his hand, the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light Shield protecting his body, and then he turned towards the dark-robed man, "Sir, what is your intention?"

"You lied!"

The dark-robed man’s pupils gleamed with a hint of crimson, "If you’ve never seen that woman, then why do you have ’Thousand Soul Incense’ on you?"

"Thousand Soul Incense?"

Fang Xi’s heart chilled, realizing that, although he had fled swiftly, he had still been tricked by the cultivator in the bronze carriage.

’There truly are countless divine skills and secret methods in the True Immortal Realm, some so strange that even I was caught unwittingly!’ he thought to himself, more alert and reminding himself not to become complacent.

However, his face now bore a sincere smile as he pointed in the direction from which he had come, "I didn’t want to cause trouble just now, the bronze carriage is in that direction... I am truly sorry."

Since the cultivator in the bronze carriage had plotted against him, Fang Xi naturally wanted to avoid falling into their scheme.

To avoid conflict when possible was to avoid giving the enemy an advantage!

"I’m afraid I can’t trust what you say anymore, Sir."

The dark-robed man thought for a moment, his face revealing a hint of a smile, "How about this, we’ll go together and take a look... If what you say is true, I will offer you a generous gift as an apology."

Being a Mahayana Monk himself, he didn’t want things to get too stiff.

"Go together?"

Fang Xi hesitated.

All he wanted now was to stay inside and delve into various arts and techniques; the last thing he wanted was trouble.

If he went there and got involved in some major trouble, would there be any point in the Bliss Building?

"May I ask, Sir, to which power do you belong?"

After a moment’s thought, he decided to play it safe and probe further first.

"Glad to say, I am from the ’Black Mystery Sect’ and humbly serve as the Left Envoy..."

The dark-robed man replied cheerfully.

"The Black Mystery Sect?"

Fang Xi was relieved internally; it wasn’t a well-known major power of the Beichen Immortal Domain. He had heard of this minor power during his millennium, active in the Golden Bamboo Sea with the ’Gold Silver Copper’ three law keepers and left-right envoys as Mahayana Monks. Rumor had it that the sect’s leader was a True Immortal with eternal life, always elusive in their whereabouts.

According to external speculation, the sect leader had either fallen early or was among the ranks of Immortals or Ghost Immortals.

’If I bring up the Abundant Karma House, it’s not as if I can’t offend them.’

’According to rumors, this sect is secretive and has the suspicion of being a demon cult...’

As Fang Xi contemplated, his expression suddenly changed, and a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.

Around him, where the sky was clear just moments before, was now shrouded by a layer of pitch-black dense fog.

Within the fog, vast doors loomed, flickering in and out of sight.

"Immortal Weapon?"

Fang Xi’s expression turned cold, "It seems, Sir, that you don’t have any sincerity."

"Hmph! Under my ’Ten Extinct Doors’, you have nowhere to escape. Surrender quietly!"

The Left Envoy of the Black Mystery Sect scoffed coldly, "From the very beginning, your words have been nothing but lies. What exactly is your relationship with that woman? No matter, once I capture you, you’ll naturally tell everything."

Even in the True Immortal Realm, Immortal Weapons were exceedingly rare treasures, especially for Mahayana Monks.

Considering himself cultivated in the top-tier techniques of the sect and yielding an Immortal Weapon, he usually faced many Mahayana Monks as if cutting through vegetables, so now that his arrangements were seen through, he let out a shrill screech, making the first move!

Whoo-whoo!

Array Gates boomed thunderously.

One after another, the doors flung open, unleashing spells of tremendous power such as Heavenly Fire, Heavenly Thunder, and poisonous water, sweeping toward Fang Xi!

"An Array Taoist treasure?!"

Fang Xi’s eyes flickered as he summoned the "Biyi Jade Scepter," conjuring a Yin and Yang Taiji diagram that enveloped him completely.

No matter whether it was Heavenly Thunder or Earth Flames, upon striking the Taiji diagram, they were engrossed by the Yin and Yang energies and then burst into oblivion.

"You have an Immortal Weapon too?"

The Left Envoy was startled, then laughed, "This is an unexpected delight. Once I take you down, it will all be mine."

He twined his fingers to form a spell, muttering under his breath, and instantly two crimson beams shot out from his sleeves, turning into two ferocious Demon Flood Dragons with their scales full of Sky Demon Mysterious Seals, ready to join the fray with a swish of their tails.

Suddenly!

A graceful figure appeared behind the Left Envoy, her hands forming seals that unfurled threads of fire-attributed Power of Rules, appearing like numerous crimson flying needles, fiercely stabbing down!

Roar-roar!

The two blood-colored Demon Flood Dragons roared in fury, seemingly having been sacrificially refined to the point of being spirited and protective, and instantly teleported to guard behind the Left Envoy.

Thud-thud!

His Body Shielding Light Cover was the first to be pierced by the threads of Power of Rules, yet the two blood-colored Demon Flood Dragons each spat out a beam of dark light that merged with the fire-attributed threads.

Boom!

The Power of Rules vibrated, and flames erupted on the bodies of the two blood-colored Demon Flood Dragons.

But as the demon lights dissipated, the fire-attributed Power of Rules threads also vanished without a trace.

"A Mahayana-level Puppet?"

The face of the Left Envoy darkened like water as he looked at Zangmingzi.

He wasn’t surprised that Fang Xi had an eighth-order Puppet; instead, he was furiously pondering that the opponent had prepared this Puppet long in advance, clearly ready to act at any moment!

’This man is extremely cunning, not inferior to me!’ he thought, becoming even more cautious and drawing a fiery red talisman.

Zangmingzi’s figure flashed, as if teleporting right in front of the Left Envoy, her delicate jade hand seeming to wield infinite power, she slammed down a punch!

Clang!

A light briefly glittered across the black robe of the Left Envoy, revealing extensive treasure patterns.

These treasures encompassed a variety of forms, including common ones like swords, spears, and halberds, as well as pagodas, large cauldrons, treasure mirrors, banners, and many other special types.

As the patterns lit up one by one, countless treasures shifted from the ethereal to the corporeal, transforming into layers upon layers of light curtains that blocked Zangmingzi’s punch.

"Heavenly Fire Golden Knife, go!"

The talisman in the Left Envoy’s hand burned away, turning into a golden knife’s phantom form with layers of Heavenly Fire ablaze upon it.

The fire-attributed and metal-attributed Power of Rules trembled, fusing perfectly into one strike!

Thud!

The light of the knife flashed, instantly slicing through Zangmingzi’s defenses, leaving a bone-deep wound on her chest.

Hisss-hisss!

The next moment, just as the Left Envoy intended to seize the opportunity to destroy this Puppet, a wild wind danced across the ground.

A massive Six-winged Black Python erupted, its tail raised high, scales glittering with the might of Rules, and it crashed down thunderously.

"Damn... another Puppet, could that man be a Puppet Master?"

As the treasure patterns on the Left Envoy’s robe dimmed, a pained expression surfaced on his face, and he summoned a blade wheel in his hand.

This blade wheel, with blood-colored edges, radiated silken streaks of blood. Under his infusion of Magic Power, it instantly transformed into a sea of blade-light, slashing toward the Six-winged Black Python.

As the blood-colored blade wheel spun, each seal on it erupted with terrifying light, seemingly sealing the Void and bearing an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Hisss-hisss!

The Six-winged Black Python opened its gaping maw, and one by one, Heavenly Bureau True Seals emerged.

Although they were mostly the low-level "Heavenly Strike Nine Gorges Talismans," their numbers were indeed staggering.

Swoosh!

Golden blades continually collided with the blood-colored blade wheel, eliciting sounds of unbearable strain.

Suddenly.

The mourning of the blade wheel intensified to the breaking point, fissures emerging upon it until it finally exploded into fragments.

At that moment, a louder explosion rang out from the side.

The Ten Extinct Doors wailed as one was sliced through by the "Double Dragon Blade," revealing Fang Xi’s figure.

"Another Immortal Weapon? Sir, who exactly are you? There may be some misunderstanding here," the Left Envoy exclaimed, his face twitching.

Having two Immortal Weapons at the Mahayana Period was exclusive to the direct descendants of major powers.

More importantly, such individuals were indeed unlikely to be the helpers that old woman had hired.

"Sir, speaking of this now, don’t you think it’s too late?"

Fang Xi scoffed coldly, the Double Dragon Blade slashed out.

The Immortal Weapon transformed into an odd Two-headed Flood Dragon, one head shining with resplendent silver light, spewing numerous Phoenix Seal Scripts.

The other head, meanwhile, bore an illusory aura with purple Dragon Chapter Scripts converging.

This Immortal Weapon was adept at wielding two types of Power of Rules simultaneously!

As for Fang Xi, he had delved deeply into the Mastery of Void and Light and Time.

In this combined attack, the surrounding Void wavered subtly, creating a sensation of time-space distortion!

The fusion of Phoenix Seal Scripts and Dragon Chapter Scripts turned this strike with incomprehensible speed, directly ignoring the multitude of treasure defenses and landing on the Left Envoy’s magical body.

Even though he had been tempered a thousand times, faced with this space-time slash from the Immortal Weapon, his body was like paper, instantly torn apart by the chaos of time-space turbulence!
