Chapter 614: Chapter 612: Intercept and Kill (Seeking Subscription)_1

Boom, boom, boom!

One after another, massive earthy-yellow boulders fell, their symbols flashing as if imbued with Origin Magnetism Divine Power.

A layer of hazy yellow spiritual light pressed down, overpowering all metals!

"Not bad, not bad... Friend Wang’s ’Yuanshan Skill’ has made progress," commented Qin Longzi, who unknowingly had a roasted pheasant in his hand, nibbling as he assessed the situation.

Boulder after boulder plummeted down, nearly submerging Fang Xi.

"I have heard that Qing Hezi is a Demon Path cultivator, I wonder what kind of methods he will use?"

Qin Longzi turned his gaze toward Fang Xi with a hint of anticipation in his brow.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a clear, piercing sound of a phoenix’s cry that could split the heavens rang out!

Countless earthy-yellow boulders turned into dust, as from both sides, a huge pair of peacock wings unfurled.

White, red, yellow, red, blue—feathers of five different colors stretched out.

The earthy-yellow feathers alone swept through, instantly turning the myriad of falling boulders into pure Earth-moving spiritual power. A hundred-zhang tall, pitch-black peacock opened its beak as a violent wind raged in the void, like an extra eye of a storm where countless earthy-yellow spiritual powers poured into and rapidly vanished.

"Is this... a Divine Demon body?"

Qin Longzi’s roast pheasant fell from his hand, and his face wore a stunned expression: "Only a Demon Cultivator capable of Returning to Emptiness can refine a Divine Demon body? To actually cultivate an embryonic form at the Transcendent God stage, truly a rare talent... This demon body can dissolve the Five Elements, could it possibly be the legendary ’Five Hells Peacock Demon Body’?"

Whoosh!

At that moment, the Five Hells Peacock let out another long cry. In the void, countless wood energies converged into vines and began entangling the earthy-yellow giant.

Swoosh, swoosh!

The emerald vines, like enormous pythons, swiftly bound the giant’s legs, then its torso, and arms...

Wood conquers Earth!

Wang Family Ancestor’s cultivation method specialized in manipulating Earth-moving spiritual power but was significantly weakened when facing Fang Xi’s Wood Divine Power!

"He has preliminarily refined a Divine Demon body?!"

Wang Family Ancestor, looking at the Five Hells Peacock Demon Body, could clearly sense with his Divine Thought that the opponent was not a mere showpiece like his own Earth Giant, and his expression turned even graver.

Such a Transcendent God Demon Cultivator with the potential to Return to Emptiness truly possessed exceptional talent, and it made Wang Family Ancestor’s heart quite bitter.

Ever since he ascended to the Transcendent God stage, he could feel that his own talents and potential had been exhausted, fearing he couldn’t progress much further on the path of Transcendent God.

Yet the Demon Cultivator opposite him held the hope of Returning to Emptiness!

Although this was just a saying and the number of Demon Cultivators who could refine a demon body at the Transcendent God stage within the Earth Immortal Realm was enormous, ultimately, very few could Return to Emptiness...

But at least there was a glimmer of hope!

A bitter sensation filled Wang Family Ancestor’s heart, but he became even more fiercely focused on the battle, with an increasing sense of perplexity.

Even if they had to tear off their masks of civility, did it need to go this far?

But now, facing the whistling Wood Divine Light, he could no longer hide; with a pat on his chest, he summoned a bright yellow seal from his Heavenly Spirit.

This seal was squarely shaped, carved entirely from a piece of yellow jade, and though slightly damaged, it released astonishing spiritual radiance!

"A fifth-tier Spirit Communicating Treasure?!" exclaimed Qin Longzi, followed by a sneer, "Merely somewhat damaged and incomplete, is this the Wang family’s foundation? This seal... I seem to have heard of it somewhere..."

Treasures shaped like seals, mirrors, or towers often possess incredible effects, making them more troublesome than ordinary treasures.

Seeing Wang Family Ancestor apparently at a disadvantage, yet casually pulling out a damaged fifth-tier spiritual treasure, even Fang Xi, incarnated as the Five Hells Peacock, brightened his eyes.

"Go!"

Wang Family Ancestor formed hand seals and surged infinite Earth-moving spiritual light into the seal.

The bright yellow seal instantly enlarged, like a mountain peak carved from yellow jade, blocking the advance of the Wood Divine Light.

Even if Wood could conquer Earth, how could droplets hope to extinguish a mountain fire?

Bouts of Wood Divine Light struck the enormous mountain body, only leaving shallow imprints before turning into dark green spiritual specks that scattered in all directions...

"What a Spirit Communicating Treasure," admired Fang Xi, even feeling envious.

He did not even have a true Spirit Communicating Treasure in his possession.

The Five Hells Peacock screeched, its five-colored feathers swept through, and a Five-color Xia Light emerged, entangling with the bright yellow seal.

It opened its mouth and sprayed out a blood-red radiance.

This light formed a gigantic crimson sword, with vein-like patterns running along its blade.

A surge of Demon Evil energy rose up into the sky, as countless little blood-colored figures danced around the sword.

"A fine Demon Sword, indeed a half fifth-tier treasure!" observed Qin Longzi, his eyes lighting up slightly, recognizing that this must be Qing Hezi’s life-bound magical artifact.

"Slas.h/!" called Fang Xi coldly as the crimson giant sword drew out a several tens of zhang long red glow, with Infinite Sword Qi surging down like a torrent of blood.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Strand after strand of Sword Qi swept across the vine-ensnared Earth Giant, causing countless cracks to appear on the giant, fragmenting it into pieces.

Wang Family Ancestor’s earthy-yellow Body Shielding Light Cover flickered wildly as the blood-red Sword Qi slashed against it.

However, he himself did not hesitate or panic at all; he stretched out both hands.

Two thick streams of magic power, resembling earthy yellow flood dragons, infused into the Body Shielding Light Cover, making this layer of defense even more exceptionally solid...

The Wang Family Ancestor was very confident in the defense of his cultivation; this was his ’Earth Element Shield’ inherent in his skill, extremely sturdy in defense. Even when facing the attacks of Spirit Communicating Treasures, it should be able to hold up...

Woah!

A mournful sword cry suddenly sounded from behind.

The Wang Family Ancestor’s hair stood on end in an instant, his Spirit Sense frantically warned him, and without a second thought, he crushed a jade talisman, intending to escape using the Void Force.

But it was already too late!

Swoosh, swoosh!

Streaks of red lines pierced through the void, like a scarlet net, sealing off the Void Force of the jade talisman’s spatial displacement.

Immediately after, a mournful sword cry, accompanied by a red shadow, fiercely stabbed into the Wang Family Ancestor’s back.

Pu!

His robe was the first to shatter, revealing an armor made of countless scales.

The armor was no match for the sharpness of the ’Divine Infant Sword’, letting out a cry as a gap split open, and the terrifying Sword Qi of the Divine Infant Sword penetrated through.

"Pu!"

The Wang Family Ancestor’s eyes bulged out as he spat a mouthful of Essence Blood.

The next moment, a layer of earthy yellow armor emerged all over his body, covering vital points and suddenly emitting a long howl.

Swooosh!

That mouthful of Essence Blood transformed into a cloud of blood, enveloping the Wang Family Ancestor completely, quickly retreating in the midst of the howl!

The incomplete seal didn’t tangle with the five-colored mysterious light anymore, but turned into a bright yellow radiance, merging into the blood cloud and quickly disappearing from sight.

"This Friend Wang... can’t really take a loss," Fang Xi said, retracting the Divine Infant Sword and transforming into a figure in a black robe, complaining to Qin Longzi.

’If he didn’t run, you might have seriously injured or even killed him...’ Qin Longzi thought to himself, but his face showed a shocked expression: "Sir, why such a heavy hand?!"

"If not so, how could the Upper Sect dare to trust me?"

Fang Xi smiled faintly, "The matter of the market..."

"Of course I’ll leave it to Sir to decide, ten years from now, we shall see the outcome!" Qin Longzi replied without hesitation.

He also came to understand that Qing Hezi deliberately hit the Wang Family Ancestor hard, also doing a favor to the Dragon Controlling Sect, showing an attitude of absolute non-cooperation with the Wang Family.

With this attitude, it should be quite enough.

...

"Damn Qing Hezi... to actually make such a deadly move!"

Within the blood cloud, the Wang Family Ancestor had a pale face, rapidly chanting a few incantations.

A layer of ice directly sealed the wound on his back, but the Sword Qi of the Divine Infant Sword, which felt like a festering sore on the bone, was still causing him much trouble; he must find a safe place to retreat and slowly expel it.

Although he knew they would make a harsh move to earn trust from the Upper Sect, he didn’t expect to use his trump card and still end up so embarrassingly defeated in a few moves; the Wang Family Ancestor was filled with unwillingness: ’Qing Hezi... you wait for me...’

He was acutely aware that near the Mysterious Dark Abyss, the Wang Family had a real competitor! And an extremely terrifying enemy at that!

He must hurry back to the Family and come up with countermeasures!

Just then, an abnormal change occurred!

A fear of confronting life and death made the Wang Family Ancestor forcibly stop his Escape Light.

His Divine Thought Materialisation level of Divine Thought spread out, seemingly seeing the densely packed semi-transparent needles in the void, so numerous that it was inconceivable!

If he had plunged headfirst into it just now, his fate would have been unimaginably miserable.

Not only that, but the Wang Family Ancestor could see countless extremely tiny semi-transparent needles that had already passed through the Spiritual Light cover and were spreading into his body...

He acted with lightning-fast thought, wrapping himself in a burst of Silver Light.

Cultivators with rich experience in magical combat, facing such extremely tiny objects, could only use Void Divine Power!

With a flash of silver, the figure of the Wang Family Ancestor emerged a hundred feet away.

But at that moment, he looked at his blackened hands in horror, suddenly spewing a mouthful of green poison blood: "Poisonous..."

"Not only that, but it is the Poison of Thousand Severances..."

A surge of Demon Qi shot into the sky, and within the dark green Escape Light, a Monster cultivator with dark green patterns on his face appeared, holding a Flying Sword that resembled a green leaf.

It was Fang Xi himself who made a move, aiming to eliminate this hidden danger!

After employing the ’Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill’ and transforming into a member of the Monster Clan, his aura was completely different from that of the heterodox incarnation.

Having this witness, Qin Longzi, his heterodox incarnation could totally absolve itself from the incident.

Generally, techniques like the second Nascent Soul or Externalization have cultivation far inferior to the main body.

Not to mention, Fang Xi had the ’Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill’ which allowed fundamental transformation. Even if he appeared alongside his heterodox incarnation, he would be seen as two different cultivators!

During this ambush, he had a flash of inspiration and smeared the remaining ’Thousand Defeats Poison Liquid’ on the ’Green Barley Sword.’

He used Flying Rice Robots to directly inject the poison liquid into the body of the Transcendent God cultivator.

The fact proved that as long as a cultivator was not on guard against it, a moment of inattention could lead to falling into the trap and suffering a huge loss!

Even though the Wang Family Ancestor used Void techniques to forcefully expel the Qinghe Invisible Needles from his body, some ’Thousand Defeats Poison’ had already entered his body, causing him severe damage!

"Die!"

Seeing intense signs of Decay on the body of the Wang Family Ancestor, Fang Xi did not pass up such an opportunity. With one swing of his sword, the Sword Light, invisible and formless, activated all the flying needles, instantly making a deadly strike...
