Chapter 112: Initial Trial of the Yin-Yang Mystic Subtlety Classic

Both of them had been poisoned with the Lü family's Union Blessing Ascension Powder, and the potent drug's effect aroused their most primal instincts.

They started fighting right there in the passageway.

"Princess!"

Not far away, Zhang Mingyue, nailed to the wall, watched the scene before him and struggled to let out a loud roar!

After becoming Yushan Tianyi's male favorite, he constantly tried every means to satisfy Yushan Tianyi, so that she would no longer seek other male favorites.

Gradually, Zhang Mingyue had come to regard Yushan Tianyi as his forbidden lover.

And Fang Xu was his enemy, the enemy he hated enough to kill!

Now, seeing Yushan Tianyi reveling beneath his enemy, displaying a baseness he had never seen before, Zhang Mingyue's eyes almost burst with fury!

Fang Xu at this moment seemed to have no notion of cherishing fragrance and jade; his violent movements made Zhang Mingyue feel even more heartache.

At this moment, Fang Xu let his bodily instincts continuously assault, while simultaneously circulating the Yin-Yang Mystic Subtlety Classic within his body.

Undoubtedly, these people were the members of the Divine Extension Sect who had once attacked the Hall of Reaching Far.

"Stop! Bastard!"

"No!"

Upon receiving the order, the divine servants transformed into little cuties immediately sprang into action, devouring a large amount of Blood Qi Power.

Having been interrupted in his pleasure, Fang Xu grabbed Yushan Tianyi's shoulder with his left hand, and while dodging the longsword, he punched straight forward with his right hand!

"Bang!"

The terrifying fist slammed into Zhang Mingyue's chest, and the violent force shattered the clothing behind him!

Zhang Mingyue let out a loud roar of pain, barely managing to stay on his feet; seeing Fang Xu assaulting with all his might and Yushan Tianyi about to collapse, he hurriedly picked up the fallen longsword nearby and charged straight at Fang Xu!

"Clang!"

Just then, a longsword suddenly flew from the end of the passageway!

The longsword, carrying terrifying force, thrust straight at Fang Xu's face, forcing him to raise his broken bronze sword to block!

Having knocked that longsword away, Fang Xu fixed his gaze on the figure appearing at the end of the passageway.

His current state was unsuitable for fighting; he needed to quickly find a safe place to absorb these powers and turn them into his own strength.

"Pfft!"

Zhang Mingyue's eyes widened as he spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto Yushan Tianyi's body, like bright red flowers blooming on pure white snow.

He put on his clothes, casually grabbed the Cosmic Bag beside him, held the broken sword, and prepared to send her on her way.

Having been dosed with the Yin-Yang Ascension Powder, and given Yushan Tianyi's naturally wanton nature, she initially enjoyed this thoroughly, but as the Yin-Yang Mystic Subtlety Classic circulated, she gradually sensed something amiss.

"No!"

Yushan Tianyi panicked!

She didn't mind enjoying all of this, but Fang Xu was clearly drawing upon her cultivation and Blood Qi!

Having resolved the hidden danger within, Fang Xu gave a cold glance at the pursuing Divine Extension Sect disciples behind him.

Yushan Tianyi wanted to resist, but under the suppression of the seal, her strength was already comparable to Fang Xu's; then her left shoulder blade broke, and furthermore the Yin-Yang Mystic Subtlety Classic had already drawn away much of her cultivation and blood qi.

Feeling her hard-won cultivation being siphoned away bit by bit, Yushan Tianyi fell into despair.

Sensing that Yushan Tianyi's cultivation had nearly been completely drained by him, and hearing footsteps coming from the other end of the passageway, Fang Xu immediately shoved her away as well.

Within the passageway, as Fang Xu ran, he felt the Blood Qi Power he had absorbed from Yushan Tianyi continually dissipating, and a nameless fury rose in his heart!

"Is it you guys!?"

The Yin-Yang Mystic Subtlety Classic is a method of seizing and nourishing, not a dual cultivation technique; its user will only domineeringly seize everything from the opponent.

The leading figure in a blood-red robe saw Fang Xu, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes; without a word, he waved his hand and ordered the people behind him to kill Fang Xu!

After reluctantly glancing at the fallen Yushan Tianyi on the ground, Fang Xu immediately turned and ran toward the other end of the passageway.

After glancing back at the Divine Extension Sect members behind him, Fang Xu immediately issued a mental command to the divine servants within him, telling them to hold nothing back and absorb as much of this Blood Qi Power as possible!

"Kill you…… I will kill you!"

At this moment, a group of figures wearing blood-red robes and strange masks appeared at the end of the passageway.

But the Divine Extension Sect members behind him pursued relentlessly; he could only watch helplessly as this blood qi slowly dissipated.

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!"

While the two were fiercely fighting, the terrain of the ruins began to change.

Having finished speaking, this person took off his blood-red robe, wrapped the fallen Yushan Tianyi on the ground, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and pursued Fang Xu.

Last time he let a few of them escape; this time...

The Yin-Yang Mystic Subtlety Classic had absorbed ninety percent of the cultivation and Blood Qi of Yushan Tianyi, a Martial Lord Third Realm martial artist, and Fang Xu simply didn't have time to transform and absorb it.

The stone wall pinning Zhang Mingyue suddenly began to sink, pulling the spear lodged in his shoulder out with it.

"He really is a perfect test subject……"

Seeing Fang Xu trying to flee, the blood-robed figure directly waved his hand, sending everyone behind him in pursuit of Fang Xu, while he himself came to Yushan Tianyi's side, staring at the dying person, a strange color flashing in his eyes.

His own Blood Qi was flowing away, and his own cultivation was regressing!

Ninety percent of the strength and Blood Qi of a Martial Lord Third Realm martial artist, if properly refined and absorbed, would certainly allow one's cultivation to break through easily to the Martial Master Realm.

If not for the divine servant pellets helping to absorb it, a large amount of Blood Qi Power would have long since burst his body.

Losing Blood Qi, her cultivation gradually declining, this and that opposing each other, her body could increasingly not withstand Fang Xu's brutality.

Zhang Mingyue suddenly surged forward, his longsword thrusting straight at Fang Xu's head!

"Noisy!"

She simply could not resist.

"Chase!"

Cultivation, physique...

"Quickly stop!"

"Grab him!"

The bronze broken sword in his hand was slowly raised, and Fang Xu directly rushed toward those few people!

With the suppression of the relic's seal, even Feather Mountain Tianyi, a Martial Sovereign Third Realm existence, is not my match; he wants to see what trump cards these Yanshen Sect people have, daring to chase and kill me!

Using the heavy sword as a staff, Fang Xu doesn't know swordsmanship but knows staff techniques, directly using the bronze broken sword as a short staff.

His moves are wide and open, each strike carrying the force of a thousand jun smashing toward the Yanshen Sect members.

Strangely, these Yanshen Sect members can barely withstand his attack; even if their weapons are blown away, they can still bodily resist Fang Xu's attack without injury!?

Body-protection treasure?

Seeing that Yanshen Sect member blown away by his sword, yet his body emitted a 'bang-bang' sound, Fang Xu frowned slightly.

Body-protection treasures are extremely rare; ordinary martial artists seldom see them.

Including Feather Mountain Tianyi, among the Ascendant Assembly's disciples, he has not seen anyone possessing a body-protection treasure.

Where did these Yanshen Sect people get so many body-protection treasures?

Somewhat disbelieving, Fang Xu immediately launched another fierce assault!

With the weight of the bronze broken sword plus Fang Xu's terrifying strength, each strike heavier than the last, directly crushing those Yanshen Sect followers into successive retreats!

Clang!

Crack!

Another sword strike hit a Yanshen Sect follower's arm, hearing a crisp sound, Fang Xu, through that person's torn sleeve, clearly saw that the follower's arm was covered in dense scales!

The scales I just shattered with my sword were exactly those on his arm!

These scales are somewhat similar to those of the sea demon I encountered before, but the color is slightly lighter and the size not as large as those on the sea demon's body.

"This kid harbors the Yanshen Sect's secret; don't underestimate him."

"Use divine blood!"

Behind the Yanshen Sect followers, the blood-robed person carrying Feather Mountain Tianyi walked over slowly, seeing that his subordinates still hadn't taken down Fang Xu, he immediately spoke.

Upon hearing his order, the Yanshen Sect followers before him lifted their masks, took out black ceramic bottles from their bosoms, and tilted their heads to swallow the contents.

Fang Xu warily retreated two steps, watching these Yanshen Sect followers' movements, a bad feeling rose in his heart.

"Uh!"

"Ah!"

"Ho... uh..."

After swallowing that unknown potion, the Yanshen Sect followers before him began to emit strange sounds from their mouths, and their bodies shook violently.

Moreover, Fang Xu clearly saw that scarlet patterns rapidly crawled across the faces of these Yanshen Sect followers!

These patterns extended to both eyes and the top of the head!

Their faces gradually grew dense fine scales; in their eyes, the whites disappeared completely, wholly occupied by black.

"The Master Father said, keep him alive."

After the blood-robed person carrying Feather Mountain Tianyi said that lightly, he directly carried Feather Mountain Tianyi away.

Looking at these neither-human-nor-ghost monsters before him, sensing their surging aura, Fang Xu's expression turned solemn.

"Ah!"

After the transformation completed, the leading Yanshen Sect follower immediately howled and charged at Fang Xu!

Fang Xu dared not be careless, directly raising his sword for a horizontal sweep!

Clang!

The bronze broken sword, carrying terrifying force, struck the person who rushed forward first, yet caused him no harm at all!

He merely stiffened his body, then lunged at Fang Xu again!

Fang Xu's eyes narrowed; the bronze broken sword in his hand suddenly vanished, and a four-foot staff appeared in his hand!

The bronze broken sword is too short, awkward to use.

He directly summoned the strange wooden staff from the Neiguan cavity.

Holding the long staff, Fang Xu swung fiercely, smashing all the Yanshen Sect followers who lunged at him away.

Back at Zhiyuan Hall, when his strength was far inferior to now, a single staff strike could cripple a Fifth Realm Martial Master Yanshen Sect follower; now his strength has greatly increased, yet these strange fellows, although repeatedly blown away by his staff, can immediately rush back after getting up.

They are completely a bunch of indestructible, unkillable monsters!

Too troublesome!

After blasting these fellows away again, Fang Xu's expression turned grim.

He doesn't know whether these fellows are truly unkillable, but judging from the current situation, dragging it out is disadvantageous to him.

Run!

Swinging the long staff, he blasted the fellow charging again away, knocking down a crowd of Yanshen Sect followers about to rush forward; Fang Xu immediately turned and ran toward the end of the passage.

These Yanshen Sect followers seem to have locked onto him, and both sides constantly chase each other in this maze-like passage.

Along the way, encountering other martial artists by chance, before they could react, they were torn apart by these violent monsters!

Roar!

Roar!

……

Fang Xu also doesn't know how far he has run, nor where he currently is.

While he was running desperately, suddenly he heard roars of sea demons coming from the front passage, his heart sank instantly.

The passage he is in has no other forks; behind him, those Yanshen Sect monsters have already caught up, while ahead a sea demon appears.

This...

Er-ah!

Ah!

Those Derived God Sect guys rushed over quickly, forcing Fang Xu to continue forward.

Roar!

Roar!

Hearing the commotion, the Man-Ogres ahead in the passage also quickly charged toward Fang Xu.

The Man-Ogres encountered this time are the same as those killed earlier by Yushan Tianyi and her companions: they all have horns growing on their heads and scales on their bodies, formidable fellows.

Both sides charged at him; Fang Xu gripped his long staff, his mind racing, thinking about how to escape.

The Man-Ogres are strong; when Yushan Tianyi and her three companions faced four Man-Ogres, they paid the price of one Ascension Immortal Society disciple before managing to kill them.

Now there are another six right in front of him; wanting to escape from them is not easy.

But compared to the Man-Ogres, the Derived God Sect's weirdos are obviously harder to deal with, each being an unkillable monster.

Roar!

The rapidly approaching Man-Ogre let out an angry roar that broke Fang Xu's concentration; seeing the Man-Ogre already about to press its face against his, he immediately raised his staff to strike down.

But he suddenly noticed something off!

These Man-Ogres' fierce gazes actually swept past him, locking tightly onto the Derived God Sect followers behind him.

It seemed as if there was a deep grudge between the two sides.

Fang Xu slowly lowered his staff, glanced at the Man-Ogres facing off with the Derived God Sect followers ahead, and tried to shift his steps a bit.

He discovered that the six Man-Ogres weren't looking at him at all.

He immediately pressed himself carefully against the rock wall, trying to slip past the six Man-Ogres.

He squeezed past the first Man-Ogre, then the second, but when he tried to slip past the third, he found the gap too small to get through.

Snort!

The Man-Ogre in front suddenly let out a loud snort, lowered its head, and glanced at Fang Xu beside it.

Fang Xu was startled, immediately preparing to meet the violent attack.

But this Man-Ogre didn't attack him; instead, it obediently shifted its body to the side.

Fang Xu was astonished.

This guy...

Seeing that the Man-Ogre had made space, he still didn't leave, and its face showed a hint of human-like impatience.

Fang Xu, seeing this, hurriedly squeezed past from its side.

Seeing him pass, that Man-Ogre twisted its buttocks and actually moved back to its original position.

Fang Xu glanced back at it and suddenly thought these guys were rather cute.

"Thank you."

Not having come, he gave a thanks to these Man-Ogres.

That Man-Ogre that made way for him seemed to understand, turning its head and grinning at him.

This scene directly left Fang Xu dazed.

On the other side, seeing Fang Xu disappear, the Derived God Sect followers all became anxious.

A violent aura surged from their bodies, and they directly launched an attack at the six Man-Ogres before them.

For a moment, the two sides tangled together, and Fang Xu glanced back at the battlefield.

"Just leaving like that, isn't that a bit underhanded?"

"But facing those unkillable monsters, I don't think I can be of much help either..."

"Damn it!"

Having been chased by those Derived God Sect weirdos for so long, he'd long been seething with anger!

He immediately didn't care about anything else, turned around and charged forward!

Both the Derived God Sect followers and the six Man-Ogres were covered in hard scales; although the fight looked fierce, neither side suffered much damage each time.

The Derived God Sect followers had the advantage of numbers, but each Man-Ogre was strong individually, able to kick them flying with a single punch or kick.

After Fang Xu rushed in, both sides were obviously taken aback.

Several Man-Ogres were obviously curious why this guy didn't run.

While a few Derived God Sect members secretly rejoiced, this kid actually ran back on his own!

"I'll come help." Not caring whether the Man-Ogres could understand him, Fang Xu said that and then charged straight at the Derived God Sect followers opposite.

The six Man-Ogres glanced at each other, then all roared and followed the charge.

The two sides tangled together again.

Fang Xu's staff waved with mighty vigor; each strike sent the fearless Derived God Sect followers flying.

Like playing baseball, each Derived God Sect follower was smashed flying, slamming hard into the nearby stone wall, sending debris scattering from the wall!

After they struggled to their feet, they immediately charged up again without the slightest hesitation!

With the help of the six Man-Ogres, Fang Xu didn't need to hold back much, just grabbing a Derived God Sect follower and beating him to death.

He couldn't count how many times he'd knocked that guy flying, but Fang Xu suddenly noticed that the aura of the Derived God Sect follower he'd been focusing on had weakened considerably.

Moreover, after being blown away that time, his speed getting up was noticeably slower than before.

Noticing this, Fang Xu smirked coldly in his heart.

He really thought you guys were unkillable.

He swung his staff again, this time from top to bottom; the terrifying staff directly slammed that Derived God Sect follower to his knees on the ground!

Fang Xu immediately struck his head again with the staff!

Bang!

The staff smashed into his head, as if breaking through some barrier, then landed straight on his head, the remaining force almost shattering his skull!

A large amount of purplish-black blood instantly flowed from that person's forehead!

Fang Xu immediately swung the staff in a horizontal sweep, directly whipping his head to pieces!

After fighting for so long, I finally took care of one!

The other Divine Extension Sect disciples, seeing their companion killed, seemed to suddenly realize something, immediately broke free from their opponents, and then swiftly fled down the other end of the passage!

Seeing this, Fang Xu furrowed his brows slightly in thought.

The medicine's effect!

He suddenly realized that the potion those Divine Extension Sect disciples had taken earlier probably had a time limit.

Moreover, suffering an attack likely accelerates the depletion of the medicine's effect.

The guy I just killed right in front of me is the perfect example.

Looking at the passage ahead, he really wanted to chase after them and slaughter them all.

But considering there was still an obvious leader of the Divine Extension Sect back there, he gave up.

"Roar."

Gazing at the passage, the person in a daze, the Man Goblin behind him suddenly let out a low roar; Fang Xu quickly turned around, looked at the six Man Goblins, and was about to say something.

The six Man Goblins simply turned and left.

Watching them, Fang Xu remained silent, pondering how to next find Huang Qingzhou, when the Man Goblin in front of him turned back and called out to him.

Fang Xu raised his head in doubt.

He saw that Man Goblin hook its head toward him, as if signaling him to follow.

"You want me to follow you?" Fang Xu said.

That Man Goblin nodded.

Seeing that, Fang Xu hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

He was curious where these Man Goblins were preparing to take him.

The six Man Goblins led the way ahead, and Fang Xu's journey was smooth and unimpeded.

Occasionally encountering the "good friends" who had miserably died in the ruins, he could still harvest a wave of inheritance; of course, during this period he also came across two unopened stone doors, from which he obtained some nice things.

After seizing Yushan Tianyi's Cosmic Bag, Fang Xu merely studied it briefly and discovered its use was very simple: holding it in hand, one only needed to use mental power to take out or put in items.

While Fang Xu was harvesting the inheritance and searching the stone chambers, the six Man Goblins were not in a hurry, simply waiting nearby for him to finish before continuing onward.

"Where are you taking me?" Fang Xu couldn't help but ask as he followed the six Man Goblins left and right, not knowing how many passages he had traversed.

One of the Man Goblins turned its head, pursed its lips forward, and pointed ahead at the passage, as if saying, "We're almost there."
