195. Chapter 195: Handling (Seeking Monthly Votes)

"Interesting..."

Everything that happened on Mount Wuzhi was actually in Fang Xing's eyes.

For him, it was just following the trend, beating the Profound Heaven Sect.

Even knowing that the effect could only be maintained for a while, making Lv Yi restrain herself slightly, and then going downhill, it was hard to say.

After all, occasional beating could only cure the symptoms, not the root cause.

But by that time, he would have long ago patted his butt and left.

A few days later.

Five Elements Evil Cave cave.

Fang Xing opened his eyes and glanced at the attribute bar:

【Gate of Heavens: 100/100】

"Very good... I wonder what kind of world this world opened by absorbing that sect master will be?"

He had been waiting for the Gate of Heavens to charge for three years.

"The first opening of the Gate of Heavens seemed to be self-contained energy, sending me to this cultivation world..."

"The second world... truly looking forward to it."

Fang Xing waited for a moment, and a figure came in; it was his cultivation avatar.

Accompanied by his thought, three seconds later, silver light flashed, and the cultivation avatar disappeared.

"Hmm... it's a world that looks safe, at least, I didn't encounter danger as soon as I went over, it's just a bit disgusting..."

After using the cultivation avatar to confirm that it wasn't a desperate situation where one would die as soon as they went over, Fang Xing immediately decided that the main body would go out in person.

After all, there were war situations from time to time here, and the cultivation avatar had to show up.

On the contrary, the main body was quite free after being admitted as a graduate student—because not going to the research group to work like an ox or horse was a loss of his own evil energy crystals.

The sky was gray, and it seemed to be raining.

Fang Xing stood on the gray-black land, looking at an ancient tree in front.

This ancient tree was bare, without half a green leaf, pitch black, with many forks, giving people a feeling of huge antlers.

What made Fang Xing feel even more surprised was that on this forked ancient tree, there was actually a person pierced!

That was a man, with deep facial features, brown hair, and a bit of mixed-race characteristics.

At this time, his hands and feet skin were pierced by the branches of the ancient tree, and blood kept dripping along the tree trunk, some of which had begun to turn black.

This was the reason why Fang Xing felt a bit disgusted before.

What was strange was that this scene also had a kind of strange beauty, as if seeing a "Tree of Life"!

What made him feel even more surprised was that his spiritual alien power spread out, falling on the man's corpse, and actually had a slight sense of targeting.

This feeling reminded Fang Xing of rituals, of the evil deity's kin...

"It shouldn't be a low-level servant; he is very weak... Most of them are human, but they have some characteristics of transforming into kin..."

"Because it was opening a door by sacrificing an evil god sect leader, so directly came to an evil god world?"

"Sure enough, in this kind of place, the main body is much more useful than the cultivation avatar."

Fang Xing looked at this scene, feeling emotional.

He wasn't even sure if this was still in the main universe!

"The humans here... have a trend of semi-kin transformation... This should be the product of long-term coexistence with evil deity pollution?!"

"There are footprints on the ground, and wheel tracks... should not be far from human gathering places..."

Fang Xing touched his eyebrows, and looked at the coarse linen clothes on the man.

The nano-suit on his body immediately began to change, becoming a style similar to the other party's.

After walking for more than half an hour along the wheel tracks, Fang Xing saw large tracts of farmland.

The fields were planted with turnips, wheat, and crops similar to onions.

It didn't look like they were growing well, a small river flowed through the middle of the fields, and not far away there was a windmill, and below it was a mill.

Fang Xing's Jin Dan magic domain expanded, covering several farmers who were working.

They were short, thin, but had large blocks of muscles, which was a manifestation of devastating physical potential.

According to Fang Xing's feeling, they wouldn't live past forty.

Furthermore... they also had some semi-kin transformation characteristics on their bodies, which made Fang Xing feel a slight discomfort.

Even according to the laws of the Blue Star Federation, these semi-kin transformed human species could be expelled from the ranks of 'humans'.

'However, these are not the most important things.'

Fang Xing's martial arts will moved suddenly, this time different from the past, not a hard impact, but silk-like, sneaking into the consciousness of these farmers...

Soon, scene after scene in their lives was extracted...

Life scenes, language and characters, religious culture...

"After martial arts Jin Dan, I feel that I am becoming more and more 'non-human'..."

Fang Xing sighed silently.

His brain now could extract useful information quickly, and... learn it in an instant.

In other words, he had learned a new foreign language.

Of course, he still didn't know the characters... because these few farmers were illiterate!

Fang Xing kept moving forward and walked to a village.

Short and dilapidated... most were casually pieced together from thatch and wooden boards, and there were even dugouts.

The only few intact brick-and-stone structures should belong to the local landlord—Master Bayi.

Master Bayi did not have a 'title' and could only be considered an ordinary landlord. Of course, in this backwater, he was absolutely a big shot.

And the best house in this village was actually not Master Bayi's residence, but a... church?

This church seemed to have just gone through a war; the ground appeared very messy, and the windows and doors had traces of hacking and shattering.

A huge stone tablet was engraved and broken into pieces, laid out directly in front of the church, seemingly deliberately for people to step on.

Looking closely, it seemed to be the stone tablet that originally stood on the church, with the emblems of the sun and moon on it.

Inside the church, there seemed to be something inexplicable and terrifying, opening its bloody mouth, wanting to choose someone to devour...

Outside the village, Fang Xing touched his forehead and smiled bitterly: "This place is extreme... Evil deity pollution is everywhere; it's indeed hard to live without transforming into semi-kin..."

He walked into the village and immediately felt gazes that were either scrutinizing or hostile.

"Outsider!"

A high-pitched voice rang out, followed by a woman holding her child, rushing into the house quickly and slamming the door shut.

"I... am not that scary, right?"

Fang Xing walked toward the church step by step.

Just halfway there, a burly white man with a bulbous nose blocked his path. He had wine-red curly hair, his chest half-exposed and covered in thick chest hair, looking just like a gorilla.

"Outsider... where do you come from?" He looked Fang Xing up and down, revealing an ill-intentioned smile.

"From where I should come!"

Fang Xing smiled.

Clearly, his words, full of Zen, did not arouse the slightest interest from this thug or henchman; instead, he felt provoked.

The white thug spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, his voice becoming ferocious: "Outsider... you have stepped onto Master Bayi's land, you should pay the 'Blood Tax' to Master Bayi!"

"Pay tax?"

Fang Xing nodded: "How much money?"

After experiencing the ridiculous operation of having to pay spirit stones just to enter the Immortal City, Fang Xing was quite adapted to this aspect.

"The Blood Tax doesn't want your money, only your blood... and flesh!"

The thug's expression was somewhat manic: "An eye, an ear, and a bowl of blood..."

He was clearly not trying to scare people, but took out a dark red dagger, preparing to actually 'collect taxes'.

Not only that, judging from the filth remaining in the grooves of the dagger, he clearly wasn't doing this for the first time.

"Sorry, I lied to you just now; even if I wanted to pay, I don't have any money..."

Fang Xing suddenly revealed a smile.

Then, he flicked his finger lightly, and the dagger snapped in the middle, followed by a kick that landed on the thug's chest.

Crack!

Amidst the harsh sound of bone cracking, the thug flew backward and hit a dirt wall.

If Fang Xing hadn't held back, he would have immediately become a corpse.

"You collect the Blood Tax, what is the use of it?"

Fang Xing came to the seriously injured thug, knowing that the other party's internal organs had been pierced by ribs and he was slowly dying.

His mental power directly suppressed the other party's resistance, forming an effect similar to mental hypnosis.

"Sadu Wizard..."

The white thug's eyes were listless, a hint of fear appearing on his face: "The Sadu Wizard killed the church servant, hung him on a tree, and offered him to the Nature Spirit—the Deer-Headed Essence! It calmed the Deer-Headed Essence's anger... Master Bayi then chose to convert to the Sadu Sect... The Sadu Wizard needs ten ears, ten eyes, and a pot of fresh blood to sacrifice to the 'Spirit' he believes in..."

"Church servant?"

Fang Xing understood; he knew it was the unlucky guy hanging on the tree with his limbs pierced through.

He stopped paying attention to this henchman and turned to walk toward the church.

According to the information obtained, that 'Sadu Sect' wizard should live in the church.

Amidst the wailing and screaming of the henchman, the village fell into an eerie silence; no family came out to check.

Fang Xing stood before the broken stone tablet, his gaze seeing the figure inside the church.

That was a strange humanoid with slightly dark skin, tattoos all over his body and face, and silver rings piercing his lips and nose.

"Sadu Sect Wizard?!"

Fang Xing spoke.

"How dare you be so rude?"

The slightly dark-skinned Sadu Sect wizard was boiling a large pot.

Inside the pot was a pool of dark red liquid, constantly boiling and bubbling.

Along with the boiling blood-red soup were human organs such as eyeballs and ears...

He stopped his movements and stood up.

His posture was strange and stiff, as if he were no longer a living person, but a stiff corpse.

Even a smell of corpse rot came from his body.

In Fang Xing's perception, it was like a 'living dead'!

Not only that, under the sensing of Fang Xing's mental power, behind this Sadu wizard, there seemed to be a translucent humanoid figure, like some kind of back-spirit.

'Is this... some special low-level servant? In the form of a spirit, coexisting with humans?'

A guess appeared in Fang Xing's heart.

"Mortal... you actually dare to look a great Sadu Wizard in the eye?"

That Sadu wizard was furious, suddenly grabbing a handful of pitch-black sand from his bosom and sprinkling it toward Fang Xing.

At the same time, he muttered to himself, as if chanting an ancient spell:

"I curse you! I curse you to have your wrists bitten by poisonous snakes, I curse you to have your eyes stung by wild bees, your corpse will be devoured by beetles..."

In Fang Xing's eyes, that smear of sand suddenly turned into poisonous snakes and bees...

Not only that, it carried a strange pressure that even a Third Realm Unpolished Jade martial artist would likely be unable to resist, and according to the curse, would be entangled by snakes and blinded by bees!

"This... witchcraft?"

"No... this is the first time I've seen a human who can utilize evil deity pollution like this!"

Fang Xing touched his brow, and a martial will like a blazing sun soared into the sky.

Those snakes and bees instantly turned into smoke and disappeared...

"Any other moves... show them all and let me see."

Fang Xing crooked his finger at the Sadu wizard.

"Impossible!!"

The Sadu wizard was incredulous: "I sacrificed a pair of children to be able to carry the 'Nature Spirit' wizard... how could I lose to an ordinary person?!"

He tore open his robe, revealing his gaunt body and strange, complex tattoos all over.

At this time, those tattoos squirmed like insects, making the transparent and illusory 'back-spirit' almost merge with the wizard:

"Wind! I summon the gale! Blow away my enemies! Blow away my enemies' flesh and blood! Blow out my enemies' souls!"

A gale appeared from the church; no, in Fang Xing's sensing, that black wind was not an airflow at all, but terrifying evil deity pollution!

Even within the pollution, a human face appeared, gnawing toward him!

"We martial artists fear these the least!"

Fang Xing sighed, somewhat disappointed, closing his five fingers into a fist.

Martial will attached to it, allowing him to easily punch through the black wind, the fist force undiminished for ten steps, landing on the shaman wizard's forehead and knocking him unconscious.

"Woo woo!"

Something that made Fang Xing's brow jump happened.

The 'wind' that had been dispersed by his martial will regrouped in the next instant, turning into a transparent and illusory humanoid figure.

'It' crawled out from the Sadu wizard's back, walking on all fours like an animal, suddenly jumping to the edge of the large pot, seemingly sucking on the 'offerings'.

The large pot quickly decayed, grew rust, the flames went out, and the pot emitted a smell of rot and stench...

"This... even a low-level kin would die after taking one punch from me... this back-spirit is at most a low-level servant, yet it has the characteristic of being 'undying'? This world is truly interesting..."

Fang Xing looked at the unconscious Sadu wizard.

He discovered that after the back-spirit sucked the offerings, it returned to his back and stopped being restless.

'Before, this back-spirit had the intention to attack the Sadu wizard... but was restrained by the tattoos?'

'This is my mental power observation... if it were an ordinary villager, they would probably only hear the wind, see the iron pot suddenly decay... and then be scared to death, thinking it was some evil spirit at work—judging by the results, that doesn't seem wrong either.'

Fang Xing nodded, the purple-patterned Jin Dan rotating, his temperament changing, and wisps of magic power appearing.

He reached out, grabbed the Sadu wizard's head, and operated the 'Soul-Searching Technique'!

His previous martial will could at most search the souls of ordinary people; this was inspiration and technique gained from this spell.

But to deal with a real 'transcendent', he still had to convert his magic power and use the soul-searching techniques of the Cultivation World!
