Chapter 1365: Chapter 1365: The Great War Begins

"That woman put up quite the display to deal with us!"

"Does she think that can stop us? Ha... it’s destined to be a futile effort!"

Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou coldly surveyed the dozens of innate experts surrounding them. Under such immense pressure, they showed no fear, merely letting out mocking laughs.

"The thousand martial artists pursuing us from Linghu Lake will arrive soon. While we’re not afraid, once they catch up, it’ll indeed be troublesome! So..."

As Fang Bai spoke, he extended his right hand forward. A flash of crimson light burst forth, and the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade was already gripped in his hand. Pointing toward the stone house, he sternly declared, "We must finish this quickly!"

Before his words faded, his figure shot forward at high speed. In a lightning-fast instant, he stood before Lei Hong.

"Die!"

Fang Bai’s voice, soft yet thunderous, exploded by Lei Hong’s ear, sending a piercing pain through his eardrums and causing his head to buzz, rendering him momentarily stunned.

In a clash between experts, even a moment’s lapse can determine victory or defeat.

Or even life and death!

Before Lei Hong could recover, Fang Bai’s Blood-Drinking Mad Blade had already slashed out.

Whoosh—

The cutting sound of the blade tearing through the air resounded, and a dazzling blade arc swept across Lei Hong’s neck.

Before losing consciousness, Lei Hong saw a jet of blood spurting from his own neck.

From Fang Bai’s rapid advance, the shouted declaration, the sweeping blade, to Lei Hong’s neck spouting blood, his head flying, and his body collapsing heavily... it all happened in an instant.

The dozens of innate experts surrounding them could not believe that Lei Hong, mightier than any of them and second only to their master Zu Hanjiao, would fall to a single strike from Fang Bai!

"How is this possible?"

The dozens of innate experts stared in shock at Lei Hong’s severed body.

The scene lapsed into a brief, deathly silence.

"Haha... that was satisfying!"

Li Chenzhou laughed heartily and rushed to Fang Bai’s side, brandishing a spear as long as a man’s height. Pointing the tip skyward, he said to Fang Bai, "Leave the woman inside to you, and I’ll handle the outside! But I can only hold them off for fifty breaths! Whether you can finish her off within that time is up to you!"

"Why need fifty breaths? Ten breaths are enough!"

Fang Bai let out a long howl, lightly stepping off with his feet, charging toward the stone house.

At the same time, the dozens of innate experts who had recovered from their stupor roared furiously, wielding their spiritual artifacts as they launched attacks toward Fang Bai, attempting to prevent his approach to the stone house.

"Want to save your master? You have to get past me first!"

Li Chenzhou shouted mightily, rising three feet into the air. His spear twisted crazily in his hands, conjuring fiery blossoms of lotus that bloomed in the night sky, dazzling and enchanting.

Lotus Flame Spear!

Li Chenzhou’s most powerful martial art attack.

Lei Hong was Zu Hanjiao’s strongest subordinate, yet even he wasn’t a match for Li Chenzhou. Now that Lei Hong was dead, none of the others could be Li Chenzhou’s foe.

That move, the Lotus Flame Spear, displayed Li Chenzhou’s battle prowess to the utmost. Its power far exceeded that of a typical innate perfection expert.

Four of the first innate experts who charged over collided into the flaming lotuses, where they were instantly shredded, blood spraying the skies as they met tragic ends.

One spear took down four enemies!

The dozens of innate experts who charged afterward, witnessing their companions’ bodies shatter and blood splatter, were filled with dread and retreated.

"Haha... hahahaha..."

Li Chenzhou gazed at the dozens of pale faces, feeling elated, and laughed grandly. Pointing his spear at the martial artists, he looked down on them with contempt and boldly declared, "Who dares come next?"

"Boom!"

Just as Li Chenzhou’s voice fell, a booming sound came from behind.

Turning to look, he saw that Fang Bai had reached the stone house, and the mad blade flashed like lightning, slicing the extremely sturdy stone house into pieces.

Amid the swirling dust, the interior of the stone house appeared, revealing a bed, a table, and a person.

The bed was a stone bed, but not an ordinary stone bed. It was carved from a single piece of Fire Elemental Stone, emanating scorching Essence Energy. Within a five-foot radius, apart from Fang Bai, no other martial artist dared to approach.

The table, a stone table, was likewise crafted from a solid piece of Fire Elemental Stone.

The person naturally was Zu Hanjiao.

On the stone table lay a sword, its blade engraved with an image of a fire bat extending its wings.

The long sword engraved with the fire bat seemed like a peerless expert, exuding an aura so intimidating that even Fang Bai felt uneasy.

"Another Holy Grade Spirit Stone... this must be the spiritual artifact Zu Hanjiao used during her time as a Foundation Establishment expert!"

Fang Bai glanced at the fire bat sword, feeling a surge of excitement.

"Fang Bai, you’re strong... stronger than I imagined..."

Zu Hanjiao looked at Fang Bai, then at the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade in his hand, realizing that both the blood-colored weapon and Fang Bai himself were profound and unfathomable, their true grade impossible to discern.

Zu Hanjiao could be confident that the blood-colored long blade in Fang Bai’s hand exceeded the existence of Holy Grade spirits.

"While you are strong, however..."

Zu Hanjiao’s expression turned stern as she picked up the fire bat sword, her face expressionless as she said, "Your strength relies on the augmentation of a Holy Grade spirit, but I also possess a Holy Grade spirit. If we fight, it’s still unclear who will emerge victorious..."

"No no no, if we fight, the one who will surely die is you!"

Fang Bai, smiling, looked at Zu Hanjiao, pointing to the fire bat sword in her hand, and said, "Just right, I have a friend with an innate Fire Spirit Root. This fire attribute spiritual artifact is suitable for her. Once I’ve killed you, the sword will be mine."

He pointed again to the stone table and bed, saying, "This table and bed, both forged from Holy Grade Spirit Stone, are extremely rare cultivation resources in the True Martial Realm. Soon, they’ll be mine as well."

"Heh..."

Zu Hanjiao’s eyes flashed with sharpness as she forcibly suppressed the fury in her chest, sneering, "Are you so sure you can kill me? If truly pushed, I can burn blood essence to ignite my potential and die fighting you."

Fang Bai’s eyes were filled with disdain as he taunted, "Fight? Come on! I’m afraid you lack the courage and guts!"

"You..."

Zu Hanjiao, brimming with rage, gripped the fire bat sword tighter, slowly revealing her intent to kill.

"Let’s discuss terms then..."

Ultimately, Zu Hanjiao abandoned the strong urge to battle Fang Bai, as she truly had no confidence in winning and said indifferently, "I think there’s no need for us to fight to the death. If it comes to mutual destruction, what good does that do you or me?"

Fang Bai smiled, raising two fingers in a gesture of victory, saying, "I have two conditions. If you agree, we’ll cease hostilities. Otherwise... you know..."

"Speak your terms."

Zu Hanjiao replied with patience, also glancing over to where Li Chenzhou was struggling. Seeing that Li Chenzhou was now bound in battle and had no energy to intervene, she felt a spark of joy.

In Zu Hanjiao’s mind, without Li Chenzhou’s help, Fang Bai essentially lost a major ally. Together with her dozens of innate expert subordinates, there was hope of slaying Fang Bai.
