Chapter 110

Lu Liren's three inheritances, what Fang Xu most wanted was still still 120 points of strength attribute.

Because whether it's the fifth-rank martial art Cloud Wave Strength or the fourth-rank cultivation method Yin Yang Selection Maiden Classic, both are too troublesome.

The Lu family's strength is great; in the whole of Great Yu, aside from the Imperial Family and the Ascending Immortal Society, probably no one dares to provoke them.

Not to mention that I'm not yet an official disciple of the Ascending Immortal Society; even if I truly passed the Ascending Immortal Society's examination, once I learned Cloud Wave Strength or Yin Yang Profound Selection Maiden Classic and the news spread, the Lu family would do everything to get rid of me.

After all, these two cultivation methods and martial arts are the foundation of the Lu family's standing; once outsiders master them, they remain a threat.

On the light screen, the rolling three inheritances gradually froze.

【Congratulations on obtaining Inheritance One, please receive it carefully.】

Inheritance One……

Looking at the words on the light screen, Fang Xu's brows slightly furrowed.

After hesitating a moment, he saw the arrow at the edge of the light screen representing Lu Liren's inheritance actually flashing, and his heart suddenly leapt with joy.

Gazing toward the turn of the passage ahead, Fang Xu gradually tightened his grip on the spear in his hand.

Cosmos Bag?

Fang Xu was somewhat taken aback after hearing that.

The two Ascending Immortal Society members exchanged a glance, their eyes somewhat shocked as they looked at Yu Shan Tianyi.

"Princess, stone chamber!"

But before the two could speak, Yu Shan Tianyi directly walked forward, obviously not wanting to share the good things she obtained with them.

But the two's hands were actually empty; strangely, the package that Zhang Mingyue originally had on her back also disappeared!

This……

Everyone continued forward; soon, the second stone chamber appeared, and Huang Qingzhou led Fang Xu into it.

Yu Shan Tianyi's expression slightly froze upon hearing that, and for a moment she was at a loss for words.

However, this Yin Yang Profound Selection Maiden Classic is a fourth-rank cultivation method; he doesn't want to give it up.

The system ultimately still couldn't fulfill his wish, giving him such a troublesome inheritance.

After turning a bend, another unopened stone chamber appeared on the side of the passage!

According to the agreement, after one round, this stone chamber belonged to Yu Shan Tianyi again.

Following the arrow's guidance, Fang Xu quickly arrived at a new fork along the passage.

Carrying things, the two left the stone chamber.

Moments later, the two emerged from the stone chamber, and Yu Shan Tianyi's face actually showed an undisguisable joy!

Fang Xu and the others, seeing this, all looked toward Yu Shan Tianyi and Zhang Mingyue, wanting to see what treasure they had obtained in the stone chamber.

"Kid, what's wrong?" Seeing Fang Xu suddenly become so cautious, Zhang Mingyue couldn't help but speak.

"Senior Brother Huang, what kind of treasure did Yu Shan Tianyi just obtain?" Fang Xu asked.

On the light curtain, the flashing frequency of the arrows grew faster and faster; Fang Xu knew they were already very close to the place where Lü Liren had died.

Behind him, Yushan Tianyi couldn't help but sneer, 'Kid, you really don't treat yourself as an outsider!'

He had actually heard of this in some web novels and TV dramas in his previous life.

Under Fang Xu's leadership, the group continued forward.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Yushan Tianyi trailing behind him, wondering how this scoundrel's strength compared to Lü Liren's.

When the sky falls, there's someone tall to hold it up; with Yushan Tianyi here, not making good use of her would be inexcusable.

Fang Xu glanced back at him, then pressed his ear against the nearby stone wall.

Snort!

I never expected this world to actually have it too!

Actually, his aperture space, in a certain sense, is somewhat similar to a Cosmos Sack.

'Let's go.'

However, each aperture space can only hold the nurtured life-bound artifact and nothing else.

The flashing arrow indicates that Lü Liren died nearby!

'According to my master, the Cosmos Sack looks no different from an ordinary money bag on the outside, but inside it contains a mustard-seed space capable of holding myriad things—truly miraculous.'

This time, he didn't even bother to consult Yushan Tianyi's opinion, heading straight for the fork indicated by the arrow.

'It's a pity that such a marvelous object can be encountered but not sought.'

After some hesitation, Fang Xu still decided to go take a look.

Fang Xu turned upon hearing her words and gave a light smile, saying, 'A brand-new passageway—doesn't it make no difference which path we take?'

Fang Xu glanced at Huang Qingzhou, saw he was deep in thought, and didn't disturb him.

'Princess...' Zhang Yueyue stepped forward, just about to say something, when Yushan Tianyi waved her hand: 'Follow him!'

However, I recall that Lü Liren had brought many martial artists with him, and his own strength was that of a Martial Lord.

While searching for treasures in the stone chamber, Huang Qingzhou said, 'I once heard my master say that Elder Jiang Feng possessed a miraculous treasure called a Cosmos Sack.'

Fang Xu and the others waited outside, while Yushan Tianyi directly opened the stone chamber and led Zhang Yueyue inside.

Now that even he is dead, the vicinity must be fraught with great danger...

'Yushan Tianyi almost certainly obtained a Cosmos Sack.' Huang Qingzhou packed up the items in the stone chamber, enviously saying, 'If we had a Cosmos Sack, we wouldn't have to carry big and small bundles.'

Snort!

Low, faint breaths came from the other side of the stone wall!

'There's a lurking fiend!' Fang Xu whispered.

Upon hearing that, the two Ascension Society disciples behind him and Yushan Tianyi immediately gripped their weapons tightly.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yueyue's face showed a deep joy.

Man-evil, nice!

This time, after great difficulty, I encountered a man-evil; I must find an opportunity to strike!

All along the way, the enemy has been loitering right under my nose; if it weren't for fear of causing trouble for Yu Shan Tianyi, Zhang Mingyue would have already struck!

This time, it would be best to also kill that Huang Qingzhou!

Gazing at Huang Qingzhou ahead, a hint of malice flashed in Zhang Mingyue's eyes.

Feeling Zhang Mingyue's naked killing intent, Fang Xu turned his head to glance at him, coldly sneering inside.

This man-evil is very likely the culprit who killed Lu Liren; Yu Shan Tianyi might be slightly stronger than Lu Liren, but probably not by much.

When the time comes and she can't even protect herself, we'll see who kills whom!

"Kid, let's go." After everyone got ready, Zhang Mingyue teasingly looked at Fang Xu, urging him to move forward quickly.

"You sure like to shout." Fang Xu sneered unexpectedly, then directly picked up his long spear and walked out.

He knew that Yu Shan Tianyi likely also intended to use this wave of man-evil to kill him.

Simply put, without waiting for her to speak, Fang Xu went out on his own; behind him, Huang Qingzhou, seeing this, stepped ahead and said, "I'm here too."

Roar!

As soon as the two appeared at the passage corner, the several man-evil at the passage's end spotted them and immediately let out a roar, charging forward!

Their massive bodies came crushing toward Fang Xu like a tank!

Scale armor!?

Seeing that the rapidly approaching man-evil actually all had a thick layer of scale armor, Fang Xu felt a slight shock!

Since entering the ruins, counting this time, they have already faced three waves of man-evil attacks.

The first was the most ordinary; the next encounter was a refined corpse; and this time…

These man-evil before our eyes are clearly not refined corpses; they are living beings.

However, compared to ordinary man-evil, these few are clearly stronger; besides being covered in scale armor, they even have a sharp single horn on their heads.

These guys…

Looking at the man-evil already charging up to him, Fang Xu felt he had overlooked something.

"Fang Xu!"

Seeing the man-evil drawing ever closer, Fang Xu actually spaced out at this moment; Huang Qingzhou immediately prepared to rush forward to block them.

"Senior Brother Huang, no!"

Fang Xu came to his senses and grabbed him, pulling him to the turn beside the passage!

Boom!

Boom!

After the massive man-evil charged over, it had no time to turn and slammed straight into the stone wall beside it!

The hard scale armor sent stone fragments flying as it struck the wall!

Roar!

After stabilizing their stance, the several man-evil let out another roar, actually ignoring Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou nearby, and charged toward Yu Shan Tianyi and her companions not far behind.

Huang Qingzhou looked bewildered at the four man-evil that had collided with Yu Shan Tianyi's group, muttering, "Didn't these guys see us?"

Fang Xu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe they think Yu Shan Tianyi is prettier."

Huang Qingzhou's expression turned strange upon hearing that, and he quickly said solemnly, "Fang Xu, while they're tied up, let's hurry and leave!"

Before coming to the ruins, he had already formulated a plan, but Yu Shan Tianyi seemed to have seen through his intentions, constantly keeping Fang Xu within her sight.

Now we finally have a chance!

Without paying attention to Yu Shan Tianyi's group, Huang Qingzhou immediately grabbed Fang Xu and prepared to run forward!

Roar!

But just after the two had run a short distance, the passage ahead again echoed with man-evil roars, accompanied by a strong stench of rot.

Bang!

Bang!

Low, heavy footsteps came from ahead; Fang Xu immediately gripped his long spear tightly and stared at the passage's turn.

Under his gaze, a man-evil with an even larger body slowly appeared at the passage's turn!

This man-evil, like the previous four, was covered head to toe in heavy scale armor and bore a sharp long horn on its head!

However, Fang Xu could clearly see that this man-evil before him was a refined corpse!

Roar!

The man-evil refined corpse, upon seeing Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou, let out a roar mixed with a strong rotten stench and rushed forward!

Seeing this, Fang Xu frowned again.

Just now, those several man-evil ignored us and Huang Qingzhou, but this refined corpse man-evil ahead is clearly coming for us two.

"Senior Brother Huang, move aside!"

Under the seal's suppression, Huang Qingzhou's strength should be inferior to mine; staying nearby would only hinder my performance.

Pushing Huang Qingzhou aside, Fang Xu thrust his long spear forward violently!

Meeting the charging man-evil refined corpse head-on was a straight thrust to the Yellow Dragon!

Clang!

The second-grade treasure long spear was extremely sharp, but when it pierced the man-evil refined corpse's body, it only scraped off a spark!

The terrifying force transmitted through the spear shaft made Fang Xu retreat several steps in succession!

Seeing this, Huang Qingzhou flourished his long sword with a flourish and thrust straight at the man-evil refined corpse's head!

Roar!

The Human Fiend Corpse-refiner let out an angry roar at him, its cattail-fan-sized palm rising directly to slap the long sword Huang Qingzhou thrust forward with a palm strike!

Bang!

Huang Qingzhou's decent-quality long sword was struck by that palm, and it didn't even pierce the Human Fiend Corpse-refiner's palm, blowing him away outright!

Fang Xu had just steadied his stance, and seeing this, he quickly reached out to block the backward-flying Huang Qingzhou.

"Senior brother, step back a little." Gripping the spear in his hand, Fang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, his aura surged, he pushed off with his feet and shot forward!

Under the bolstering of terrifying power, his body was like an arrow released from a bow, charging forward with his spear toward the Man-Beast Refined Corpse!

Roar!

The Man-Beast Refined Corpse, seeing this, roared again, still raising its palm as large as a cattail fan, grabbing at the spear tip thrusting toward Fang Xu!

Pfft!

The palm that could block Huang Qingzhou's sword without a scratch was pierced through directly when facing Fang Xu's spear!

After the spear tip pierced the Man-Beast Refined Corpse's palm, its force undiminished, it thrust straight toward its head!

Pfft!

The sharp spear tip stabbed straight into the Man-Beast Refined Corpse's whitened eyeball, the entire tip sinking into its brain!

Roar!

The Man-Beast Refined Corpse, having suffered such heavy damage, seemed to feel no pain at all; after a roar, it actually raised its other arm and swung directly at Fang Xu himself!

The huge palm, carrying terrifying force, lunged toward Fang Xu!

Before the palm even arrived, the mere gust from its movement made Fang Xu's clothes flutter loudly!

Faced with such a terrifying palm, Fang Xu hurriedly tried to pull back and dodge!

However, his spear in hand had already been caught between the Man-Beast Refined Corpse's palm and head; this delay meant that by the time he thought to discard the spear and dodge, it was obviously too late!

The massive palm loomed over him, yet a dark streak suddenly flashed beside Fang Xu!

Next moment!

A dragon scale, like a huge shield, suddenly appeared!

Boom!

The Man-Beast Refined Corpse's huge palm slammed hard onto the dragon scale!

Pfft!

The terrifying force, transmitted through the connection between the dragon scale and Fang Xu, directly shook him, causing him to spit blood and fly sideways!

That huge dragon scale instantly vanished then, returning once more to the aperture space.

Fang Xu struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the Man-Beast Refined Corpse not far away, hesitated not at all, and directly pulled Huang Qingzhou away to run.

"This beast is too strong; we need to find help."

The two of them ran straight toward the other end of the passage, where Yu Shan Tianyi and a few others were!

On the other side, Yu Shan Tianyi and his four companions seemed to have already settled the battle.

Four Man-Beasts were slain, the Chen-surnamed disciple of the Ascendant Society died in battle, and another suffered a serious injury.

Yu Shan Tianyi himself also looked a bit disheveled; obviously, to slay those four Man-Beasts, they had paid a heavy price.

But before Yu Shan Tianyi could catch her breath, she saw that at the turn of the passage ahead, Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou, who had originally fled, had actually come back!

Immediately after—

Roar!

Rumble rumble rumble!

Rumble rumble rumble!

The ground beneath their feet trembled slightly; not far behind them, a huge Man-Beast with a spear stuck in its head, emanating a terrifying aura, came charging after them!

Yu Shan Tianyi's face changed slightly!

She could clearly feel that this Man-Beast charging at them was stronger than the four they had just slain!

Damn it!

Seeing Fang Xu and the other actually leading an even more terrifying Man-Beast charging at them, Yu Shan Tianyi couldn't help but curse!

"Senior sister, save me!"

Ignoring Yu Shan Tianyi's curses, Huang Qingzhou ran while shouting loudly.

"Run!"

Having just gone through a major battle, Yu Shan Tianyi had no hope of blocking this terrifying Man-Beast Refined Corpse; she immediately grabbed Zhang Mingyue and fled.

The Ascendant Society disciple beside her stared for a moment, not yet comprehending what was happening, when he saw Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou already running past in front of him.

By the time he reacted and tried to run, that huge Man-Beast Refined Corpse had already caught up to him.

The huge palm came down with a sudden smash!

He, already wounded, had no chance to dodge and was slapped to death by the Man-Beast Refined Corpse's palm!

Yu Shan Tianyi turned her head to watch the Man-Beast drawing ever closer, then glanced at Zhang Mingyue beside her, realizing that with this burden, she would inevitably be caught!

A flash of resolve crossed her eyes; she immediately let go of Zhang Mingyue's arm, surged forward in speed, and ran ahead.

"Princess!"

Zhang Mingyue, abandoned, panicked instantly, his face deathly pale as he chased after Yu Shan Tianyi.

But he originally only had the third level of Martial Master; now, suppressed by the restriction, his strength was greatly diminished—not to mention chasing Yu Shan Tianyi, even Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou behind him caught up to him in an instant!

Zhang Mingyue panicked even more!

At the moment despair rose in his heart, a hint of madness also filled his mind!

Seeing Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou running toward him, with the Man-Beast Refined Corpse relentlessly pursuing behind him, he suddenly drew his own weapon!

"I can't escape; you two won't survive either!"

Everyone stay!

The irrational Zhang Mingyue raised the weapon in his hand and charged straight at Fang Xu and Huang Qingzhou!

This guy is crazy?

Seeing Zhang Mingyue charging, Fang Xu frowned slightly, his posture didn't pause at all, and he directly threw a punch!

Seeing Fang Xu actually charging bare-handed at him, Zhang Mingyue's face lit up with joy, a flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes!

Then, as Fang Xu rushed forward, his posture oddly lowered, using the body technique of the Nine-Monkey Staff to dodge Zhang Mingyue's weapon, and he punched his chest!

The terrifying force directly blasted him flying!

Pfft!

In midair, Zhang Mingyue spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body flying backward several zhang before barely managing to plant his feet.

Ha... haha...

Kid, thank you.

Seeing the approaching ape-like corpse, a hint of a smile flashed across Zhang Mingyue's face as he covered his chest and immediately ran forward!

Seeing this, Fang Xu frowned slightly; this punch didn't kill Zhang Mingyue, but instead helped him.

Fang Xu, be careful!

Behind him, Huang Qingzhou let out a loud shout!

Hearing the shout, Fang Xu quickly turned around and saw that the ape-like corpse had at some point pulled out the long spear stuck in his own head, and flung it violently at the two of them!

The long spear was like an arrow leaving the bow, and in the blink of an eye it was about to pierce both of them!

Bang!

He suddenly kicked Huang Qingzhou, using the rebound force, and the two barely dodged the spear!

Huang Qingzhou, having landed, quickly rolled several times, dodging the frantically charging ape-like corpse, and appeared behind it!

The long spear, dodged by the two, lost none of its momentum and flew straight toward Zhang Mingyue, who was almost at the turn of the passage!

Hearing the tearing sound from behind, Zhang Mingyue was startled, quickly turned around and prepared to block!

Pfft!

But the spear's speed was too fast; just as Zhang Mingyue turned around, the spear was already before him!

He wanted to dodge, but it was obviously too late; the black long spear, carrying terrifying force, pierced his shoulder, nailed his body firmly to the rock wall!

Boom—!

Boom—!

At that moment, the rumbling sound came again!

Fang Xu's expression changed slightly; looking at Huang Qingzhou not far behind, he said, 'Senior Brother, the terrain is going to change!'

Upon hearing that, Huang Qingzhou struggled to his feet, intending to go around the ape-like corpse and Fang Xu to meet up!

But just as he had taken two steps, a stone gate suddenly rose before him, blocking him from behind!

Seeing this, Fang Xu's heart sank!

Huang Qingzhou is an alchemist, not skilled in combat, and now also suppressed by a restriction; I am alone...

However, fortunately, the stone gate separated him from the ape-like corpse.

But unfortunately, the ape-like corpse is right in front of me!

Run!

Seeing the ape-like corpse already catching up, Fang Xu immediately didn't care about anything else, turned and continued running forward.

This ape-like corpse seemed to have locked onto him, ignoring Zhang Mingyue pinned to the stone wall, with only him in its eyes.

Fang Xu, while running, took out the golden silk soft armor and that bronze broken sword from his aperture space.

Huh?

Just as he put on the golden silk soft armor, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure lying at the entrance of the stone chamber whose door had been opened ahead.

Lu Liren?

Seeing Lu Liren's corpse right ahead, Fang Xu didn't dare to touch it, so he just ran past, planning to come back later when he had a chance.

After turning a bend in the passage, Fang Xu was about to continue forward when he suddenly discovered that the passage ahead had been blocked, and at the stone gate stood Yushan Tianyi, who had previously escaped, standing there silently.
