Chapter 386: Chapter 384 Storage Bag (Congratulations to the book friend 20181126190255504 Alliance Chief!)_1

Demonic creatures of the wood attribute often possess divine skills that allow them to hide their aura.

The Ten Thousand Year Wood Charm is even more so the cream of the crop!

This creature had been lurking underground all along, and its sudden attack could have easily overwhelmed two ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

Fang Xi guessed that the disciple from Green Emperor Mountain, whose allegiance was unknown, had probably perished in such a frustrating manner.

"Why would there be a fourth-order demonic beast here? It doesn’t make sense..."

The old ghost muttered, "Could it be a trap set by the sect leader... designed to lure out the traitor?"

"But creatures like the Wood Charm have long lifespans; this is practically digging my grave..."

He hid behind the Wood Ding Magic Treasures and with a raise of his hand, a talisman emanating golden light flew out.

Boom!

The talisman exploded mid-air, transforming into a ball of golden fire, swirling with countless golden runes inside, carrying an intense spiritual power, like a small sun falling from the sky, hurtling toward the Ten Thousand Year Wood Charm.

A peculiar smile appeared on the human-like face of the Ten Thousand Year Wood Charm as a layer of moss fell from its cheek. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and blew gently.

A dark green Monster wind appeared, entwining with the golden flames.

The light of the small sun dimmed rapidly, but eventually, a few flames fell onto the body of the Wood Charm, burning fiercely.

The Ten Thousand Year Wood Charm was utterly unfazed, shaking its body.

Pieces of vines ablaze with golden flames continuously fell to the ground, quickly turning into ash, while more vines grew from its maimed limbs, forming a new body.

"Regeneration of severed limbs?"

"A fourth-order demonic beast with such divine skills is indeed difficult to deal with."

Fang Xi’s fingers flicked rapidly, conjuring streaks of blood-colored lightning that circled around him, forming a defense.

At the same time, he shook the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, releasing the late-stage Core Formation Ghost King.

No sooner had the Ghost King roared than countless green vines twisted together, forming a vine whip adorned with tender green buds and white blossoms.

Spurt!

Out of nowhere, phantoms of tender green buds and pristine white flowers appeared in the void, bursting with terrifying spiritual power.

The next moment.

The late-stage Core Formation Ghost King was whipped into pieces, unable to reform its figure ever again!

Fang Xi looked over to see that the vine whip was actually transformed from the right arm of the Wood Charm.

After dispatching the Ghost King, its emerald eyes flickered, and the massive vine whip swept towards Fang Xi in an instant.

Phantoms of tender buds and hundreds of flowers appeared around Fang Xi, even drawing spiritual power from within his body!

"Any demonic beast that reaches the fourth order is truly extraordinary."

Fang Xi clasped his hands together, and behind him appeared a phantom of Yama with three eyes and six arms, his six arms pounding relentlessly.

Boom, boom, boom!

In front of him, six globs of pitch-black light, like black holes, devoured countless phantoms of the white blossoms.

Crack!

The vine whip was repelled without effect, and two of Yama’s phantom arms behind Fang Xi snapped instantly.

"Wood Charm Sir... why must we fight to the death upon meeting? How about we sit down and talk instead..."

Fang Xi sighed, as a terrifying spiritual power erupted from him, exuding the fluctuation of Magic Power indicative of a Nascent Soul cultivator!

"The Island Master is actually a Nascent Soul cultivator!?"

Zhan Tu couldn’t believe what he was seeing: "He... he’s concealed it so well... No wonder he was after the Transcendent God cultivation technique..."

"Impossible!"

The old ghost was even more incredulous than Zhan Tu: "Ling Ying Sect’s sensors can’t be wrong; this man is definitely a late-stage Core Formation cultivator... I know now, he must have learned some secret skill of cultivating a second Nascent Soul and has stumbled upon some defy-the-heavens opportunity to congeal that second Nascent Soul without suffering any backlash!"

"A second Nascent Soul?!"

Zhan Tu had no concept of this.

"In short, it’s a secret skill similar to an External Pill... This person indeed has his secrets, and he almost deceived me... Fortunately, we encountered this Ten Thousand Year Wood Charm; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable were you to face his fury in a crucial moment... hehe... Luckily, a second Nascent Soul is ultimately not his true cultivation realm; he is still a late-stage Core Formation cultivator... Your Kuyong Mysterious Light will still be effective against him."

As the old ghost sent his message, his expression became sly.

After being rebuked by Fang Xi, the Ten Thousand Year Wood Charm paused for a moment, its emerald eyes seemingly contemplating something.

But soon, it roared again, and in the void, countless green pine needles appeared, too many to count, enveloping the entire plaza.

"Negotiations failed? Could it be that this Wood Charm has not awakened its Spiritual Wisdom? Or is it under some Prohibition?"

Fang Xi looked towards the old ghost.

Initially, he had thought the old ghost had manipulated this Wood Charm to ambush him.

But seeing how the Wood Charm attacked indiscriminately, it didn’t quite seem to be the case anymore.

Fang Xi lifted his hand, and a pillar of pitch-black light shot into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner immediately hovered in mid-air, acting like an umbrella, completely shielding him and leaving him at leisure to look at the old ghost: "Old ghost... If you’re still holding back, I might just leave directly! This Wood Charm might be powerful, but it’s impossible for it to detain me... Besides, there are still two other targets for you!"

The old ghost, who had managed to wield power surpassing that of Perfect Core Formation together with Zhan Tu, indeed made Fang Xi take a second look.

He was well aware that the old ghost surely had many more cards up his sleeve.

Taking advantage of this situation to force them into the open wasn’t such a bad idea.

"Damn it... under these circumstances, the spiritual treasure ’Chart of Spring Birth of Ten Thousand Woods’ would be most suitable... Yet, unfortunately, it has already been abandoned to stop those two old Nascent Soul freaks... Beware!"

The old ghost hoisted the Wood Ding Magic Treasures above his head.

Then...

Crackle and pop!

Countless azure pine needles, like droplets of rain, fell down, striking the Wood Ding Magic Treasures and extinguishing the protective barrier in an instant. Then they fell upon the treasure itself, emitting a sound reminiscent of rain pattering on banana leaves.

Puff puff!

Under Zhan Tu’s horrified gaze, the Wood Ding Magic Treasures began to fill with holes.

Finally, they exploded with a loud bang, shattering into pieces!

"Go!"

Seeing this, the old ghost gritted his teeth and had Zhan Tu throw out a sky-blue pearl.

Boom!

The sound of thunder echoed resoundingly!

After being penetrated by the pine needles in mid-air, the blue pearl burst into a dazzlingly bright thunderous light!

This thunder light was not ordinary lightning but had a purplish-gold hue, carrying an aura of destruction.

Somehow, Fang Xi thought of the dual-colored heavenly thunder encountered by the Ancestral Demon Tree during its tribulation when he saw this lightning.

Boom!

The thunder light flashed, and the pine needles in the sky vanished instantly, turning into wisps of blue smoke.

Subsequently, a bolt of purplish-gold thunder struck the Wood Charm, charring much of its body and leaving a vicious thunderous wound on its chest.

’This old ghost... he has quite a few treasures indeed. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t dare to take on this Thunder Pearl without flinching, right?’

Fang Xi retracted the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

As expected of a banner refined from the bones of a Fourth Order Transformed Great Demon, it suffered only minor pit and puncture damage on the surface after withstanding such a fearsome onslaught, and its main body wasn’t greatly harmed.

"Sir... This Wood Charm has been severely wounded by my ’Ancient Spirit Annihilation Thunder Bead,’ and what comes next will depend on you..."

The old ghost’s voice came through, sounding somewhat weak.

"Asura Path!"

Fang Xi certainly wouldn’t miss this godsend opportunity. He immediately formed seals with his hands, and the image of the Yama behind him roared as blood-color spears appeared on each of his six arms.

Puff puff puff!

Spear after spear of blood-colored lightning shot out like thunderbolts, landing around the Wood Charm and causing its green spiritual light to tremble violently.

Mixed with runes, countless blood-colored lightning streaks were annihilated mid-air, and chunks of debris ignited with flames flew out.

They were pieces of charred vines...

"Is this the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator?!"

Zhan Tu watched the scene, feeling his own Golden Core trembling.

The might of each blood-colored lightning bolt was so fearsome that he likely couldn’t withstand even one unless he resorted to the Integration Secret Skill with the old ghost...

Puff!

Suddenly, amidst the countless blood-colored lightning bolts, a green light twinkled.

It was a fist-sized green Inner Core, crystal clear like jade, radiating a strong vitality.

Hum hum!

Beneath the green glow, all the blood-colored lightning bolts extinguished simultaneously.

With a flash of green light, the Inner Core swiftly flew out and in no time reached the edge of the Black Jade Plaza.

"Human Realm Path!"

In a flash, Yama behind Fang Xi formed seals, and a black demonic light accurately hit the green Demon Pill!

The Demon Pill became unstable, and a Phantom of the Wood Charm emerged from it, looking the same as the previous one.

"A Fourth Order Demon Pill with the Soul Essence of a Transformed Great Demon?"

The old ghost muttered to himself but did not make a move.

With a flash of demonic light in his eyes, Fang Xi sent three Primordial Demon Stabs into the phantom, causing it to scream in agony.

The next moment, an invisible suction force appeared, drawing back the green Demon Pill, which Fang Xi grabbed in his hand.

He took out a jade bottle, stuffed the Wood Charm’s Essence Soul into it, and casually affixed a Talisman.

’This Wood Charm seems to be in an odd state, but after all, it’s a Fourth Order Transformed Great Demon... Both the Demon Pill and the Essence Soul are a huge score.’

After securing these items, Fang Xi looked indifferently at the old ghost, "Zhan Tu, my friend... I’ll take this, and you may have all the remaining spoils. The body of that Fourth Order Wood Charm would be an excellent material for crafting numerous wood attribute treasures."

"Thank you, senior..."

Zhan Tu immediately showed a respectful expression, beginning to gather the Wood Charm materials without any hint of dissatisfaction, seemingly accepting his role as a junior.

After all, Fang Xi was now a ’Nascent Soul cultivator.’

Wasn’t taking the lion’s share of the spoils a matter of course?

But Fang Xi felt a chill in his heart, aware that the old ghost likely harbored ill intentions towards him, allowing him to collect treasures unchallenged.

Possibly scheming for a final net to capture everything!

’Hmph... we’ll see who is more cunning when the time comes.’

Fang Xi strolled over to the corpse and flipped it over with a magical hand, revealing its numerous wounds.

"This man indeed fell into the ambush of the Ancient Wood Charm..."

The old ghost floated over, full of emotion, "However, back when the sect was destroyed, this man sneaked into the Evergreen Garden. He must be a traitor from the Green Emperor Mountain..."

"For this man to have infiltrated this far, I’m quite curious as well."

Fang Xi gave the magical hand a shake, and a green Storage Bag fell from the corpse, catching the old ghost’s eye!
