Chapter 414: Chapter 412: One Versus Three (Request for Monthly Tickets)_1

"Yun Jiezi?"

Demon Lord Qi Sha stroke his palm and laughed, looking at the old demon, "It seems you know this person?"

"This person was originally an individual cultivator from Yuan Country, unknown and without fame. Later he joined the Profound Ice Palace and became a Supreme Elder... somehow he even managed to condense a Nascent Soul."

The old demon quickly sent a telepathic message, "This person killed Zhong Wuwang, a Core Formation elder of our Green Leaf Commerce Association at Mid-Air Mountain; he has already shown his enmity... Now that I have the chance, I naturally cannot let him live!"

Although Fang Xi’s actions back then were secretive, there are too many secret skills in the Cultivation World, and there is always a way to trace the clues.

In actuality, the information of not just Huang Yungong, a Nascent Soul, appearing on Mid-Air Mountain, had already been known by the Nascent Soul powers like the Mixed Origin Sect, Green Leaf Commerce Association, and the Blood Sect.

It was only that the old demon didn’t want to provoke another Nascent Soul old demon at that time, and he was entangled by Huang Yungong to the point of extreme irritation, so he had no choice but to endure.

Lord Lingfeng also took into account the presence of ’Yun Jiezi,’ which was why he tacitly allowed the Profound Ice Palace to move north; otherwise, how could Feng Bingxian, merely a Core Formation, have successfully fled as a deserter during a sect war?

However, they did not connect ’Yun Jiezi’ with the current Dragon Fish Island Master.

After all, the heavenly signs during Fang Xi’s Nascent Soul Formation could not be faked!

And Yun Jiezi became well-known even before the Dragon Fish Island Master formed his Nascent Soul!

This is the ironclad evidence!

Nobody could have imagined that Fang Xi, such an outlier, managed to cultivate the great divine skill of a second Nascent Soul at the Core Formation stage!

"Haha, since that’s the case, let’s do this together."

Demon Lord Qi Sha threw the ’Blood Kill Hall’ he held in his hand, and the hall immediately expanded into a blood-colored palace enveloped in faint blood clouds, "This treasure of mine is extremely fast... even faster than a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with a wind spiritual root, and with another ’Footless Bird’ keeping watch, that ’Yun Jiezi’ won’t be able to escape."

The three Nascent Souls immediately flew into the ’Blood Kill Hall’.

The palace thundered like lightning and, with a flash of blood light, vanished from the sky.

Inside the palace, Demon Lord Qi Sha suddenly snorted coldly, "Damn it!"

"What happened?"

Old Chi Laoguai spoke up.

"My ’Footless Bird’ has been discovered and destroyed..."

Demon Lord Qi Sha snorted coldly, "However, this person has also been marked with the secret skill of the ’Footless Bird’... He can’t escape."

...

At that moment.

Unknown miles away, Fang Xi was spitting out a mouthful of pitch-black infant flame with a grim face, turning a ghostly bone bird into ashes.

The bird’s flying speed was comparable to a Nascent Soul’s, and it could hide invisibly; even he was nearly deceived by it.

"Damn it!"

Fang Xi changed direction, his body enveloped in a chilling demonic glow; after flying out hundreds of miles, his divine consciousness faintly sensed a dangerous approach, and it was closing the distance rapidly.

In terms of speed, it was still far above his own!

At this moment, Fang Xi’s expression turned truly ugly.

’This is so unlucky... I was just pretending to be a Core Formation to make a fair trade, and I got targeted?’

After leaping another three hundred miles, Fang Xi’s divine consciousness could catch a glimpse of a streak of blood light, and within it seemed to be a palace.

"Yun Jiezi, you won’t be able to escape."

A pure, powerful, sharp, and cold divine consciousness had firmly locked onto him.

Fang Xi took a deep breath, reached a desolate wilderness, and began to wait silently.

Before long, a flash of blood light streaked across the sky.

A blood-red palace emerged, from which three Nascent Soul old demons flew out!

"Two at the initial stage, one at the middle stage!"

Fang Xi pondered and spoke coldly to Demon Lord Qi Sha, "How have I offended you, sir, to warrant such relentless pursuit?"

"Heh heh... With such a strong Resented Spirit Trace on you? You have greatly offended me,"

Demon Lord Qi Sha sneered, "Moreover... back at Mid-Air Mountain, you also offended this old friend here. Today, you’re just out of luck. You finally cultivated a Nascent Soul, but you won’t be able to enjoy your thousand-year lifespan."

"Green Leaf’s old demon..."

Fang Xi looked at another early-stage Nascent Soul holding a bowl, and then at another person, whose image had circulated in Yuan Country, "The Blood Sect’s Old Chi Laoguai!"

He looked at Demon Lord Qi Sha and sighed, "Are you the great elder of the Seven Deadly Sins Hall—Jiang Country’s second, Demon Lord Qi Sha? If my Nascent Soul leaves the body, you may not be able to catch up with me. How about we stop here and value peace instead?"

"You’re welcome to try the Nascent Soul leaving the body!"

Demon Lord Qi Sha’s eyes flashed coldly, "As for stopping? Once we capture your Nascent Soul... I will consider it carefully."

His cultivation had reached the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, facing the great calamity of the descendents, his heart carried an extremely important plan; he was not going to consider a resolution at this time.

"Old friend Gu, Brother Chi Xue, what do you two think?"

Fang Xi made a final effort; he truly just wanted to honestly cultivate and develop, not embark on a killing spree.

The old demon’s expression was stern: "Yun Jiezi, with Demon Lord Qi Sha here today, you can’t escape even if you had wings!"

Old Chi Laoguai let out a shrill laugh, "Who would have thought that today, my ’Blood Converting Demonic Sabre’ could drink the blood of two Nascent Soul cultivators..."

"It’s useless to talk more!"

Demon Lord Qi Sha wore an icy smile, his hands forming seals, and terrifying demonic light erupted from his body.

The magical power fluctuations, which were far beyond an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul, made the Nascent Souls of the two old demons beside him tremble...

A dense evil Qi emerged, forming a layer of heavy and ancient black-red armor around Qi Sha, the supreme secret transmission of the Seven Deadly Sins Hall—the Seven Slaughters Demon Skills!

"If that’s the case... might I inquire, Demon Lord Qi Sha, how old are you this year?"

A flash of black light gleamed in Fang Xi’s hand as the ’Life-Death Seal’ emerged.

With a whoosh, the phantom of a Demonic Beast Tree appeared in the void, its branches spreading, brushing out a mysterious and enigmatic radiance.

"How old?"

Demon Lord Qi Sha felt perplexed.

But Fang Xi did not need his answer; after using the Kuyong Mysterious Light, this person’s lifespan was clearly visible in his eyes.

’Over seven hundred years old... the lifespan limit, a little over eleven hundred...’

"A lifespan of roughly four hundred years... and you dare to come after me?"

"Die!"

His eyes radiated a brilliant cyan and yellow radiance, as the Kuyong Mysterious Light swept over Demon Lord Qi Sha.

Just as Demon Lord Qi Sha was about to unleash his Demon Skills, the facial expression of the Nascent Soul in his dantian suddenly changed, looking down at its own tiny hand.

To its surprise, the originally fair and delicate small hand had become a wrinkled, chicken skin and crane claw-like appendage.

An immense terror descended in an instant!

The Nascent Soul’s little face betrayed a look of dread, the golden crown on its head wilted, its clothes stained with dirt, sweat poured from its armpits, and the tiny body began to exude a foul stench!

"The Five Decays of Heaven and Man... Has my lifespan... finally come to an end?"

Even though Lord Qi Sha found it hard to believe, the Nascent Soul could only sit crossed-legged and suddenly disperse, turning into specks of light, and thus Sitting and Transforming...

Outside.

The Demon Armor on Demon Lord Qi Sha’s body vanished, the breath of life left him, his body inverted like a falling scallion, crashing towards the vast earth below.

The Blood Kill Hall also let out a wail, its brilliance flickering, it shrunk to the size of a palm and fell along with him...

Regardless of his formidable Demon Skills, an array of astonishing Secret Skills, and powerful spirit treasures as his trump cards.

But with the exhaustion of his lifespan, there was no remedy, nothing was of use anymore...

"This..."

Old Chi Laoguai’s eyes bulged, he had thought Demon Lord Qi Sha was about to use some earth-shattering Secret Skill, so how could he suddenly lose all traces of life and topple to the ground?

"Demon Lord’s Secret Skills are indeed formidable, this technique of concealing one’s breath is undetectable even by us..."

He managed to utter a sentence dryly, just as he saw Fang Xi clap his Heavenly Spirit, a flash of black light revealed a Nascent Soul with two horns atop its head and six large black holes on its back. The Nascent Soul pinched seals with both hands, casting the Yanmo Domain and sweeping Old Chi Laoguai into it!

Among the three Great Nascent Soul old demons, this one was actually the last to achieve Nascent Soul and the weakest of them.

Using the Heterodox Nascent Soul’s Demon Skills, he couldn’t claim to be completely at ease, but could just manage to hold him off.

Meanwhile, Fang Xi left the Star Luo Chessboard with his true self, deciding to go all out first and capture Old Demon before discussing further!

His own lifespan was also precious; it wasn’t worth using against a weakling...

"Demon Lord Qi Sha... has he Sitting and Transformed?"

Old Demon’s eyes bulged, too, and upon seeing Fang Xi utilize the Nascent Soul leaving the body to trap Old Chi Laoguai, his physical body still able to move, he finally realized something, exclaiming in shock, "You actually cultivated the Second Nascent Soul Divine Skill!"

Without a second thought, Old Demon transformed the earthen yellow alms bowl into a beam of yellow light that firmly protected his entire body. Then, powering his Escape Light, he attempted to flee into the distance!

There was no choice but to flee!

This ’Yun Jiezi’ was simply too terrifying.

Not only did he employ some unfathomable Divine Skill to kill Demon Lord Qi Sha, a mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, in a single stroke, but he also cultivated the second Nascent Soul Secret Skill, trapping Old Chi Laoguai.

Just the thought of facing this person alone in a magic duel made Old Demon’s scalp tingle.

"Old Demon... meet your end!"

Fang Xi turned into a cyan rainbow that swept across the sky with incomparable swiftness, catching up to Old Demon’s Escape Light.

Helpless, Old Demon could only expel two yellow earthen beads.

Rustling sounds filled the air!

The beads flickered with light, transforming mid-air into two colossal stone Puppets blocking Fang Xi’s path.

But the radiance of the ’Flash Spirit Pearl’ in Fang Xi’s hand burst forth, a flicker bypassed the stone Puppets’ obstruction, reaching above Old Demon and making a sweeping gesture with his hand.

Whoosh, whoosh!

A series of lusciously green beams of light descended—it was the ’Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light’!

Sizzle, sizzle!

The thick earthen yellow barrier around Old Demon sliced open like tofu, nearly causing him to cough up blood.

’Isn’t Yun Jiezi studying Demon Skills? How come he possesses such a refined wood attribute cultivation technique, which is my exact nemesis?’

Old Demon had no choice but to raise his alms bowl to block the attack.

The earthen yellow alms bowl instantly became the size of a house, sheltering his whole body within.

Sizzle, sizzle!

The Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light landed on the alms bowl, strangely creating profound scars.

"What sort of magic is this, to be so exceedingly sharp?"

Within the alms bowl, as Old Demon’s lifebound spirit treasure sustained damage, he spat out a mouthful of essence blood, his face stricken with panic!

Was this really an early Nascent Soul stage cultivator?

The thought that someone could so easily damage his spirit treasure, one would believe it even if he were told this was a late Nascent Soul stage great cultivator!

’The Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light is after all only newly learned, and my Cultivation is just at the early Nascent Soul stage, to directly cut open a spirit treasure is somewhat challenging... The Heterodox Nascent Soul has his Primordial Energy yet to recover, lingering too long could bring about unforeseen issues, better to finish this quickly.’

Feeling the state of the battle with the Heterodox Nascent Soul, a thought flashed through Fang Xi’s mind, and a blue Thunder Pearl thunderously descended.

Boom!

A pillar of purple-gold lightning struck down directly upon the earthen yellow alms bowl.

—Ancient Spirit Annihilation Thunder Bead!

Crackle!

The previously scar-riddled alms bowl shattered in an instant, revealing Old Demon’s horrified expression.

Fang Xi raised his hand and several beams of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light shot out, like three parallel claw marks, sweeping across Old Demon’s body.

Rustling sounds!

The hastily released talismans and defenses of Old Demon’s clothing, akin to paper, split apart, his body shattered, blood spraying across the sky.

In the void, there was a flash of light.

Several hundred zhang away, a gravely wounded Nascent Soul appeared, casting one last fearful glance at Fang Xi before attempting to flee anew.

Crack!

Amid the crisp sound of a piece being placed, a white piece landed on the Nascent Soul.

The tiny Nascent Soul hesitated, its body then bound by strands of white light, plummeting from mid-air and caught in a large cyan hand.
