Chapter 103

Several thousand yaksha, a great army of many flying yakshas, appeared before Fang Yu just like that.

Fang Yu's expression shifted; now he finally felt a kind of pressure, as if the moment of true life-and-death combat had truly arrived, and everything before had merely been an appetizer.

In the distance, the Demon God Altar rose high, taller even than the tallest Fulong Pagoda in Long Yuan Province. Upon it were arrayed countless blood-red stones, and in the midst of the stones stood a demonic elephant as tall as seven or eight men, its eyes sweeping across the entire Underground World, radiating an inexhaustible majesty.

This was the Demon God's idol.

Beneath this Demon God idol stood several figures—one was a woman, and another was a demon that seemed human yet was not.

This demon had a handsome, bewitching face, like a young man, but its lower body was exactly the same as a flying yaksha's, with a pair of wings sprouting from its back.

Apart from its head, its body was enormously huge, looking somewhat ill-proportioned.

A human's head, on a flying yaksha's body.

This was an Asura.

In the Underground World, the Asura's status was extremely high. Above the Asura was the Great Asura, and above the Great Asura was the Demon Emperor.

The Asura's standing underground was equivalent to a disciple on the Yuhua Sect's Shanhe Ranking—high position and great power, only one step away from becoming a true disciple.

The Great Asura's standing was equivalent to a true disciple, or a Grand Elder.

And at the level of the Demon Emperor, it was a being of the Longevity Secret Realm, equivalent to a Supreme Elder or Zhang Sect among human cultivators.

"Fang Yu, leave all those flying yakshas to you."

Fang Qingxue gazed at the distant Demon God Altar, then rose into the air. Her whole body emitted intense purple light, currents of electricity swirling around her, and once again the Yin-Yang Purple Lightning great serpent flew out from her body, letting out a piercing, long cry.

In an instant, the purple lightning and thunder illuminated the entire area in brightness.

The intense sound, light, electric current, and thunderbolts immediately drew the attention of the entire demon army, and even the many figures atop the Demon God Altar dozens of li away all looked over.

From the Demon God Altar, a beam of fine light shot out, illuminating the ground around Fang Yu's area down to every hair, and the entire demon army noticed Fang Yu.

The next moment, the entire demon army roared and charged over to kill.

Fang Qingxue let out a cold laugh. Her Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blades crisscrossed, instantly forming a hundred and eight blade auras of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha. Wherever they passed, wild thunder flashed and yin thunder shook.

Several dozen of the fastest-flying yakshas met the blade qi and were directly torn in half, their bodies catching fire as they fell from the air, dying on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, these several dozen flying yakshas were dead, unable to withstand even a casual strike from Fang Qingxue.

And Fang Yu at this moment also fell into the encirclement of the demon army.

"Now is truly the time to temper myself."

Facing the attacks of countless demons, Fang Yu's spirit concentrated to the utmost, his entire body falling into a marvelous state.

One punch, one kick, one thrust, one flash.

Each was just right, the product of precise calculation, perfectly dodging the yaksha's attacks while killing them one by one.

He struck out with his sword repeatedly, treating the superior-grade spirit artifact flying sword Purple Fire Sword as a hand-held longsword, never sending it out to fly. With every sword stroke, he could sweep aside several yakshas.

Whoo, whoo-whoo!

A tall yaksha, seemingly a minor leader, appeared before Fang Yu, and actually used the steel fork in its hand as a spear, hurling it viciously over.

Just as Fang Yu dodged, this yaksha minor leader let out a roar and slammed a palm straight at Fang Yu's chest—it was actually a martial technique.

"The strength of four Xuanhuang Fierce Horses, and you dare to act so brazenly?"

Fang Yu's gaze swept over, and he immediately saw through this yaksha minor leader's vitality state.

Ordinary yakshas all had the strength of three Xuanhuang Fierce Horses. This yaksha, having received some unknown fortuitous encounter, actually had one more Xuanhuang Fierce Horse's strength than the others, but compared to Fang Yu, it was still far off.

During these days, Fang Yu had been tempering his strength and forging his spirit; his strength had already reached fifteen Xuanhuang Fierce Horses. The divine medicines and divine springs obtained from the Shrouding Heaven Realm had settled within his flesh and blood, and he continuously drew them out, causing his physical strength to grow ever stronger.

Therefore, when Fang Yu faced the yaksha minor leader's four Xuanhuang Fierce Horses of strength, the outcome was self-evident.

He struck later but arrived first, and with one sword pierced straight through this minor leader's body.

He hadn't even exerted his full strength, using only the power of five Xuanhuang Fierce Horses.

Because an ordinary human Divine Transformation expert had only the strength of five Xuanhuang Fierce Horses; when dealing with these small fry, he would never use his full strength.

Conserving strength, and unleashing it only when needed, often produced the effect of catching the enemy off guard.

After killing this minor leader, Fang Yu's gaze swept toward the distance, where Fang Qingxue was displaying her divine might, using her own strength alone to envelop the Pure Fox little enchantress and the others, seemingly about to cut them down directly.

But that Asura Grand Commander shook both its wings, broke free of the range, and flew into the air above the demon army like an arrow.

Fang Yu immediately sensed this Asura's eyes lock onto him, as if it might descend at any moment and crush him into dust.

Yet he still paid it no heed, and continued to use the strength of five Xuanhuang Fierce Horses to cut down the yakshas beside him.

Finally, the Asura suddenly moved, and in the next instant transformed into a streak of black light, appearing right before Fang Yu.

"Human, let me capture you!"

"Oh?"
