Chapter 431: Chapter 429: The Divine Infant Sword Appears (In honor of the Silver Alliance!)_1

"Split up!"

Fang Xi and Lord Black Sand locked eyes for a moment before transforming into two streaks of Escape Light, each a different color, breaking out in separate directions.

Whoosh!

He formed a hand seal, and a dark red blood light enveloped him, as he shot across the sky like a long rainbow.

After flying hundreds of miles, Fang Xi swept the area with his Divine Consciousness and saw a lower fourth-grade member of the Green Scale Demon Clan in pursuit, delighting in his heart, "Lucky me... Did they not witness the previous fight, or are they planning to crush Lord Black Sand first because he’s a pushover? Or perhaps it’s just sheer arrogance?"

The pursuing Green Scale Demon Clan, unable to catch up to Fang Xi, had their expression darken, as two large bulges formed on their back.

Crack!

A pair of ethereal blue wings materialized, each feather inscribed with complex and mysterious symbols.

Whiz!

In an instant, the monster seemed to transform into a raging green wind, its speed increasing dramatically.

"Wind Escape Skills?!"

Fang Xi sighed, his Divine Consciousness scanning the surroundings, and confirmed that this monster would catch up with him before he reached Tianwei City.

"Indeed... it seems I’ll have to fight after all."

With that thought, he halted his Escape Light and a pitch-black Demon Armor emerged on his body.

This Demon Armor was fierce and ancient-looking, actually being a personal spiritual treasure of Demon Lord Qi Sha, which Fang Xi later stripped for his own Heterodox Nascent soul to wear, naming it ’Seven Kill Demon Armor’!

The Seven Kill Demon Armor had astonishing defensive capabilities, a card Fang Xi had kept up his sleeve during his battle with Lord Black Sand without revealing.

Flanked by three Supreme Treasures of the Demon Path, even if the Heterodox Nascent soul’s cultivation was a bit inferior, he would dare to clash with a mid-Nascent Soul Cultivator.

And all the more so with just a lower fourth-grade monster beast!

"Not running anymore?"

The Green Scale Demon Clan retracted their wings and scanned the area with Spirit Sense, apparently checking for an ambush.

"Fellow Demon Clan member..."

Noticing this, a smile appeared on Fang Xi’s face, "Actually, the enmity between our human race and the Monster Clan dates back to ancient times, with no current grievances. How about we stop here?"

"Stop? Hmph... naive. How many of our Monster Clan did the human race’s powerful cultivators kill when they invaded the Monster World in the past? Even we from the Five Elements Qilin Tribe, along with the Heavenly Phoenix and Flood Dragon tribes, couldn’t escape... They even released ’Immortal Origin Energy,’ disrupting our Monster World’s rules, making our descendants’ cultivation significantly harder. Such deep hatred... cannot go unavenged..."

The Green Scale Demon Clan had not finished speaking when they were unexpectedly hit from behind by a surge of crimson sabre light!

Snap!

The ’Fang Xi’ opposite them dissipated like a bubble, revealing it to be merely an illusion created by Demon Skills!

Fang Xi’s true body, having already secretly positioned itself, donned the Seven Kill Demon Armor and wielding the Blood Converting Demonic Sabre, burned all its Essence Blood in a fierce slash!

Pfft!

A bloody sabre light, exceedingly fast and sharp enough to seemingly slice open the Void itself, causing ripples to spread through it.

’Cowardly!’

All the Green Scale Demon Clan had time for was an inward curse before opening its mouth to unleash a streak of green lightning, striking the blood sabre light head-on.

"Slash!"

Fang Xi’s eyes flashed with blood as he uttered coldly.

Blood Runes on the Blood Converting Demonic Sabre lit up one by one, their dazzling red sabre light actually slicing through the green lightning and falling straight down, aiming for the Green Scale Demon Clan’s head!

At the crucial moment, the Green Scale Demon Clan’s eyes were bloodshot as it dodged to the side, its hand transforming into a green claw, swiping forward furiously!

Pfft!

Fang Xi’s Blood Converting Demonic Sabre struck the monster’s shoulder, scraping off a few small green scales.

On those scales, traces of blackish-green Monster Blood could be seen.

Pfft!

The Green Scale Demon Clan’s claw hit Fang Xi’s chest, piercing through a layer of black-and-red radiant shield and leaving sparks on the Seven Kill Demon Armor.

"Monster cultivators have indeed very resilient bodies."

Realizing his slash only lightly wounded the beast, Fang Xi turned into a black light and quickly retreated backward, contemplating this.

Meanwhile, the Green Scale Demon Clan, realizing that its full-powered swipe hadn’t inflicted any damage on Fang Xi, looked very displeased, "Human Cultivator... you have Spirit armor defense, you could’ve just taken the hits and made it back to Tianwei City, yet you deliberately stayed behind to fight me..."

Monsters capable of taking human form were as intelligent as Human Cultivators and immediately sensed something was amiss.

The monster’s aura filled with an intense killing intent, "It seems... you’re hoping to capture me? Utterly arrogant!"

"Whether it’s arrogance... we won’t know unless we try, right?"

Fang Xi smiled faintly, as a three-eyed, six-armed Yama entity appeared behind him, each arm forming a different hand seal and his entire being a dark golden color.

Then, the third eye on his forehead split open, as if the wrath of an angry king had descended upon the world!

Whoosh!

Burst after burst of pitch-black flames shot towards the Green Scale Demon Clan like arrows.

The Green Scale Demon Clan opened its mouth, exhaling a green Demon Qi that spread rapidly, raising a storm of green wind hundreds of feet high, extinguishing the black flames completely.

Pfft!

But behind those black flames, the entity of Yama lifted the Blood Converting Demonic Sabre high and brought it down with a slash!

"Hmph... using that move again!"

A sneer appeared on the Green Scale Demon Clan’s face as it summoned a green shield.

This shield appeared to be crafted from some type of scales, densely layered, with a very smooth green sheen on its surface.

Pfft!

The Blood Converting Demonic Sabre struck the Green Scale Shield but failed to break through, instead recoiling several dozen feet!

Seeing this, a hint of a smile appeared on the Green Scale Demon Clan’s face.

But at that moment, its Spirit Sense suddenly shuddered.

Whoosh!

Behind the Green Scale Demon Clan, a palm-sized pitch-black Flying Sword appeared, its blade covered in vein-like patterns, emitting a wailing sound akin to a baby’s cry!

Divine Infant Sword!

It turned out that while Fang Xi openly used Heavenly Path Divine Skills and the Blood Converting Demonic Sabre to attract fire, he secretly released this Demon Path supreme treasure!

The Green Scale Demon Clan was taken aback, their scales quivering.

Phu phu!

Countless green scales fell off, shooting out like arrows.

Whoosh!

But the Divine Infant Sword instantly teleported, dodging this barrage of arrow-like scales and appearing behind the Green Scale Demon Clan, sword tip descending.

Phu!

The armor formed by the scales of the demon was instantly broken, as a surge of Demon Evil energy frantically poured into it.

"Ah!"

The Green Scale Demon Clan let out a scream, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood.

Then, their figure suddenly vanished, only to reappear dozens of yards away!

Upon reappearing, they were no longer in human form but had transformed into the original form of the Five Elements Qilin Tribe!

It had the body of an ox, the belly of a giant clam, scales like a fish, paws like a tiger... and on its head, it wore a single green horn!

There was a huge hole in the beast’s back, from which demon blood was continuously seeping out.

"Human cultivator... I, ’Qingjuan,’ will remember you!"

The creature, resembling a unicorn Qilin, roared angrily as it spat out gusts of blue wind from its mouth.

The wild winds converged, forming nine blue flood dragons, sweeping towards Fang Xi.

Then, with a flash of blue light under its four limbs, it began to flee backwards.

"Rise!"

Fang Xi pressed against the Seven Kills Demon Armor, summoning beams of demon light that emerged like a towering city, trapping the nine wind blades that had turned into flood dragons, while looking at the fleeing unicorn scaled beast with a trace of an odd smile on his face.

However fast the fleeing speed, how could it compare to instant teleportation?

The next instant!

Phu!

The Divine Infant Sword teleported behind the unicorn-scaled beast and once again emitted a heart-wrenching sword cry.

The pitch-black Sword Qi fell and effortlessly sliced through the creature’s scales, aiming for the inner core!

The one-horned scaled beast screamed tragically, almost cleaved into two by the Divine Infant Sword Qi.

Amidst the splatter of monster blood, a fist-sized green demon pill appeared.

Within the demon pill, a soul of the same one-horned scaled monster leaped out, holding the original demon pill in its mouth, and began teleporting!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the Divine Soul had fled a thousand yards away!

But upon witnessing this, Fang Xi simply sneered and began forming seals with his hands.

The Divine Infant Sword also followed suit with instant teleportation, abruptly flickering, it appeared above the one-horned scaled beast and struck down with a sword!

Phu!

A black light pierced straight through the one-horned scaled beast, causing its Divine Soul to scream, and the inner core began to fluctuate with radiance, becoming unstable.

Buzz buzz!

Countless vein-like patterns wriggled on the body of the Divine Infant Sword, erupting with clusters of crimson radiance.

This radiance enveloped the one-horned scaled beast’s Divine Soul like a large net, then began incessantly pulling...

By the time Fang Xi realized what was happening, the Divine Soul of this fourth-order low-grade monster beast had already been devoured by the Divine Infant Sword!

Only a dimly glowing green demon pill remained, still suspended in mid-air!

"This Divine Infant Sword is indeed sinister..."

Fang Xi gestured, and the Divine Infant Sword immediately flew back, turning into a needle as fine as ox hair and burrowed into his Nascent Soul’s body.

A trace of pain crossed his face, which he then dismissed as if it were nothing.

Not only that, after collecting the fourth-order demon pill, a flash of black light took Fang Xi to the corpse of the one-horned scaled beast. He scraped up the surrounding soil to a depth of three feet and deposited it into his storage bag, afterward transforming into a streak of flowing light and departing...

Half an hour later.

A powerful demon Qi swiftly approached, its color blood-red, belonging to the red-scaled demon of the Monster Clan with carp whiskers.

The Red Scale Demon Clan’s face was as somber as water, gazing at the place where the one-horned scaled beast perished, suddenly letting out an extremely mournful howl...

...

"Luckily it was just a fourth-order low-grade monster beast, and I could handle it myself without having to use the summoning skills to call upon my avatar..."

Whoosh!

Fang Xi moved swiftly, putting away the ’Green Scale Shield’ and even had time to inspect that Green Scale Demon Clan’s storage artifact.

The storage tool used by this demon clan was a peculiar seashell.

If it weren’t for Fang Xi’s keen sensitivity to the Void Force, he might well have been fooled by it and treated it like an ordinary trinket.

Crackle and pop!

When his Divine Consciousness broke through the prohibition inside, a small space emerged within his sensing range.

Beast hides, beast bones, unidentified minerals, spiritual flowers...

"I don’t recognize most of this... I should get a book about the special products of the Monster World."

Fang Xi gave a cursory scan with his Divine Consciousness and couldn’t help feeling speechless.

Then, his eyes lit up as he held two items in his hand.

One was a scroll made from an unknown beast hide, stitched together, filled with large sections of Monster Text that Fang Xi couldn’t understand at all.

But at the end of these Monster Texts, there were actually a few pages written in a silvery script!

Their form was ethereal and elusive, akin to fluttering Spirit Birds and phoenixes, carrying a complex and profound essence of the Void that drew Fang Xi’s gaze irresistibly, having contemplated the Void Symbols...
