Chapter 480: Chapter 478: Slaying (Make up for the shortfall 36)_1

Might makes right, the true way of tactics!

Fang Xi knew this well.

Even when summoning the Heterodox Nascent Soul, he first targeted the weakest, Feng Shisan, allowing the Heterodox Nascent Soul and Xiao Qing to lead the Puppets to join the battle!

Whoosh!

Above the Divine Infant Sword, a pattern like veins appeared, transforming into a blood-red giant net that swept up the Divine Soul of the Five-colored Heavenly Phoenix.

Feng Shisan’s Divine Soul was absorbed by the Divine Infant Sword, turning to ashes in an instant, leaving only a Demon Pill suspended in mid-air...

Chi!

Xiao Qing let out a clear cry, flew over actively, carrying the Heterodox Nascent Soul, and headed toward Elder Qing’s direction.

...

Meanwhile, at the main battlefield.

The Blood Kill Hall, pushed to its limits by Fang Xi, transformed into a blood cloud of several acres in size, enveloping the surrounding Void.

Nineteen paths stretched across heaven and earth, each move sending out a white piece, turning into immense cages!

Two Void Spiritual Treasures together trapped in the center a Green Heavenly Phoenix dozens of feet in size!

"Thirteen..."

Elder Qing had been hesitating, after all, Feng Shisan had not yet escaped.

But at that moment, seeing Feng Shisan fall under the Demon Sword, no more concerns remained, "Yun Jiezi... my Heavenly Phoenix Clan will not let you off!"

It let out a ferocious howl, and strands of silver light gathered on its wings, transforming into Phoenix Seal Scripts.

Ripples in the Void continuously converged, faintly forming a Void Storm.

"Divine Infant Sword... go!"

The Heterodox Nascent Soul wore a stern expression, the figure of Yama with three eyes and six arms emerged behind him, and he powerfully activated Demon Skills, pouring them into the Divine Infant Sword.

The Divine Infant Sword emitted a mournful, wailing sword cry, and in a sudden flash, it appeared above the Green Heavenly Phoenix.

Wu wa!

Amidst sounds like a baby’s cries, the Divine Infant Sword suddenly grew immensely large, turning into a giant sword tens of feet long, blood-red in color. On it, numerous little blood figures, even blood-red Kylins and Phoenixes, appeared, surrounding and floating around the sword, wailing as they flew!

Blood-red threads emerged from the Void, piercing through the silver runes on the wings of the Green Heavenly Phoenix, as if enforcing a Void Sealing!

Blood Kill Hall, Star Luo Chessboard, together with Divine Infant Sword!

All of Fang Xi’s Void Spiritual Treasures were deployed here, revealing his trump cards!

’Darn it... If it were any other high-ranking fourth-tier member of the Monster Clan, I would have killed them by now, but it just had to be from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, adept at manipulating the power of the Void!’ Fang Xi internally gritted his teeth.

By now, he was filled with a fierce desire to kill, willing to pay a price to ensure Elder Qing did not leave this place!

"Divine Infant Sword?!"

Elder Qing was extremely shocked, recognizing the Supreme Treasure of the Demon Path, and his face turned fearful, "No..."

He opened his beak, and a five-colored light flew out.

Upon closer inspection, it was a Five-Colored Plume, emitting a mysterious authority, far surpassing that of a fourth-tier Monster beast!

"A Life-bound Feather of a fifth-tier Transcendent God-level Monster beast?!"

Fang Xi was slightly surprised, but it was within his expectations.

How could such a high-ranking fourth-tier Monster Clan leader not have one or two trump cards?

The Five-Colored Plume rose into the air, transforming into streams of five-colored light, intertwining around the Divine Infant Sword.

Under the wrapping of the five-colored light, the Divine Infant Sword let out a cry of anguish as the blood figures and phantom beasts quickly dissolved... even its relentless strike was blocked and could not fall.

"Hmph... I thought it was a Magic Treasure from the True Demon Realm, but it turns out to be just a replica," Elder Qing said, much calmer as he formed hand seals.

The five-colored light shone brilliantly, even melting the Divine Infant Sword!

The Heterodox Nascent Soul’s face soured, he formed a seal and the Divine Infant Sword turned into a black light and entered his body.

Crack crack!

All those blood-red threads snapped, Elder Qing retracted the Five-Colored Plume, and snorted coldly, "Yun Jiezi... the next time we meet, I will surely kill you!"

The five-color light swirled, even driving out the ’Qinghe Invisible Needles’ from the Void.

The Green Heavenly Phoenix let out a long cry, ready to spread its wings to leave.

With its speed of escape, even Demon Lord Tian Du and Tian Xingzi would be left trailing in dust...

"There won’t be a next time."

Fang Xi looked indifferent, a small black seal appeared in his hand, the ’Life-Death Seal’.

A phantom of the Monster Tree appeared, the ’Kuyong Mysterious Light’ ready to launch, allowing him to clearly sense Elder Qing’s lifespan!

"Over a thousand years left..."

"No wonder you dare to kill me, a typical Nascent Soul cultivator from Green Emperor Mountain might not be a match for this monster, and certainly can’t kill it...

"But I can!"

"Although your Heavenly Phoenix Clan can fight and flee... that your lifespan isn’t as long as the Turtle Clan’s, is your greatest vulnerability!"

If he hadn’t already utilized all his methods and yet still struggled to leave the opponent behind, Fang Xi would not have revealed his trump card.

He had previously only revealed the "Kuyong Mysterious Light," but not his longevity of over five thousand years!

"Die!"

As the Kuyong Mysterious Light swept past, Elder Qing’s Divine Soul suddenly realized in terror that his body was rapidly aging and disintegrating...

"Impossible... you... Northern Dipper... Life-Determiner..."

His face was filled with disbelief, and then his breath ceased completely, and he fell headlong.

Whoosh!

Elder Qing’s corpse was caught midair by several rays of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light. The Five-Coloured Plume let out a piteous cry, on the verge of turning into a streak of multicolored light to escape, but Fang Xi tapped his fingers in quick succession. Taiyi Green Wood Divine Lights, like silken threads, wrapped the feather layer by layer, sealing it inside a jade box and securing it with seventeen or eighteen talismans.

"Northern Dipper... Life-Determiner..."

Only then did Fang Xi have time to reflect on Elder Qing’s final words, "Northern Dipper Life-Determiner... Could he have thought that my Kuyong Mysterious Light had advanced to that supreme divine skill?"

If it were an ordinary Cultivator from Green Emperor Mountain with a cultivated Kuyong Mysterious Light, even at its peak, they could only exchange year for year of lifespan, and they certainly couldn’t take away more than a thousand years of Elder Qing’s life.

Unless... one has cultivated the true top-tier divine skill of Green Emperor Mountain—Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Skills!

Only then could one use a single year of their own lifespan to strip away several years, even decades, of an enemy’s lifespan, capable of threatening even a Transcendent God across major cultivation realms!

Alas, Fang Xi did not possess the cultivation method for this supernatural power—it was purely a brute force effort using his own longevity!

"If it were not a Heavenly Phoenix that came, but a fourth-tier superior Demon Tortoise, it would have been somewhat troublesome... but my Green Barley Sword should be able to suppress it! Ordinary fourth-tier superior members of the Monster Clan can’t beat me, only those like the Heavenly Phoenix against whom I can’t do anything, can I consider using this method..."

Fang Xi took a deep breath, collected the remains of Elder Qing and Feng Shisan, and gained a profound understanding of his own strength.

Even in a one-on-one battle with a fourth-tier superior member of the Monster Clan, he is unafraid.

The only thing he fears is being attacked by several fourth-tier superior Monster Clans, resulting in a depletion of lifespan he can’t recover from, or a personal intervention by a Divine Demon Lord!

"However, even if Elder Qing and Feng Shisan had time to recover, they would not have replenished their Primordial Energy lost in the previous great battle, and they were not in their peak state. I still cannot be proud and complacent..."

"Killing a fourth-tier superior great demon, I should also be considered to have made an exceptionally great contribution to the human race, right? At least now, on the front lines of the war, the balance of power among the great cultivators has been restored to two against two."

"I have shed blood for the human race and used more than a thousand years of my lifespan to slay a great enemy, merit boundless, merit boundless..."

Fang Xi sighed, tossed the ’Biyi Tube,’ filled with Sky Demon Qi, to the Heterodox Nascent Soul, and waved his hand to send it back to The Nine States.

Thereafter, he transformed into a streak of green light and flew to the Cultivation World of the Three Kingdoms...

...

The Nine States.

The Heterodox Nascent Soul emerged directly, then chuckled and burrowed into Zhang Huohua’s body.

He opened his eyes, looking at the ’Biyi Tube’ in his hand. the key was the strand of Sky Demon Qi inside, and he fell into deep thought, "Let’s put this aside for now, the reverse mapping of Demon Qi has just been completed. To bring in another piece of Sky Demon Qi now, wouldn’t that be obviously problematic for me?"

"Hmm, after this strand of Sky Demon Qi undergoes particle analysis, we can also conduct experiments to find harmless ways of utilizing monster beasts and then have Xiao Qing and Daqing use them..."

Fang Xi stood up and stretched lazily.

He turned on the TV, and a news broadcast was being aired:

"Recently, the ’Flying Rice’ talisman from the Flying Rice Research Institute of Fang Immortal University has been applied to the ’Taiyin Line of Defense,’ achieving a commendable victory in slaying three late-stage Nascent Soul Moon Demons... In this battle, Lord Demon Exterminator..."

He glanced at the news with a curl of his lip.

Naturally, the broadcast content was true; Professor Huo Yunzi’s Flying Rice weapons were sent to the battlefield after several tests, and it was said that they initially caused substantial damage to the Moon Demons.

Unfortunately, they still didn’t have much effect on the Divine Demon Lords.

Even those three late-stage Nascent Soul Ancient Demon Tribes were defeated by the surprise factor at the start and the presence of the Sky Palace Lord, Lord Demon Exterminator, who personally commanded the battle!

’According to Teacher Luo’s message, Professor Huo Yunzi has been in a bad mood recently... because the Nascent Soul Demon Lords on the Moon Demon side have come up with certain defensive measures...’

The best way to deal with Flying Rice talismans is naturally Void Divine Power!

Within the Ancient Demon Tribe, there are also inheritances of Phoenix Seal Script!

’Sigh... As expected, the tangle with the Demon Clan is not something that can be changed by one or two magical weapons; it still needs to be sustained.’

’To quell the strife between the two realms, I have to make a painful decision... to take the Door of Sky Demon!’

Fang Xi secretly felt moved: "Risking my life and misunderstanding to do this kind of thing, I am too great..."

...

Several days later.

In the Dongfu.

Silver light flashed in front of Fang Xi, revealing the Blue-Horned Silver Arm Marionette and a Storage Bag.

In the Storage Bag, there were also a large number of materials for setting up arrays and several fresh monster beast corpses.

"The main body is quite considerate, having prepared all these."

He murmured, as usual letting ’Tai Yi’ take control of the Dongfu’s permissions, the Heterodox Nascent Soul possessed the marionette, grabbed the Storage Bag, and sped away thousands of miles.

The wilderness!

In the past, the outbreak of the ’Door of Sky Demon’ above Tai Yin caused a massive retreat of the human race, creating many abandoned wilderness cities.

Without the protection of a fourth-tier Great Array, they had no chance against Ancient Demons that occasionally slipped through the Taiyin Line of Defense, so the wilderness had long been abandoned.

Now, beneath the ground.

Fang Xi rubbed his hands together, and a pitch-black Spiritual Shield emerged, continuously pushing back the soil to form an underground cave that was somewhat gloomy and dark.

"The environment here is decent enough..."

Next, he set up a very serious expression, opened the Storage Bag, and took out array materials one by one, beginning to survey the terrain and implant various array devices...
