Chapter 64

He was filled with shock.

To have brought so many experts this time, and with the help of countless strange beasts!

It was originally destined to break through Qingyang City and occupy it.

But now, in the blink of an eye, all the strange beasts and experts had been poisoned to death by an unprecedented fellow.

How could this be possible?

Zheng Zhiqiu and Tie Feng, atop the city wall, were both exceptionally shocked as they looked down.

They still hadn't understood what was going on; how had the dense swarm of strange beasts and that group of Heavenly Principle Sect remnants been wiped out so quickly?

This was simply bizarre!

"Mr. Ouyang... his Poison Dao is actually this terrifying!"

Zheng Zhiqiu said in horror.

Poisoning all the invading enemies to death with his own strength?

Fang Yi sneered, his body already moving like a gale, flashing past in an instant as he chased after Li Wuxie.

Whoosh!

The Pulse-Severing Soul-Breaking Finger stabbed rapidly toward the opponent's back.

Li Wuxie roared in anger, hurriedly turning around to strike fiercely at Fang Yi's body.

But Fang Yi's body flickered; instead of meeting the attack, he retreated in an instant, distancing himself from the opponent once more.

"Attack then. The more you attack, the faster the poison will strike your heart. Let's see how long you can hold on."

Fang Yi's voice was calm.

Li Wuxie was exceptionally terrified, spitting out a large mouthful of blood again.

This time, the blood he spat out had already begun to turn black, and it corroded the ground, starting to hiss and smoke.

He seemed to know what his end would be; a miserable smile suddenly appeared on his face as he looked at Fang Yi, his body swaying, and he cursed painfully: "Go to hell, Ouyang Feng! The Heavenly Principle Sect will avenge me; your end is destined to be a hundred times more miserable than mine!"

He raised a palm and struck directly at his own forehead.

With a crack, his skull shattered, brains splattered everywhere, and he fell backward.

He died a miserable death.

Fang Yi shook his head lightly, walked forward, and began to search the opponent's body.

Unfortunately, after searching once, he only found some silver banknotes.

"Disappointing."

He stood up and left, heading toward the other Heavenly Principle Sect experts to begin searching them.

One by one, the figures were continuously looted by him.

Almost anything of value was found by him.

All sorts of items filled a large bag.

"Open the city gates quickly!"

Zheng Zhiqiu, on the city wall, said hurriedly.

The tightly shut city gates immediately began to open rapidly.

Zheng Zhiqiu and Tie Feng hurried down to meet him.

But after they left the city, they discovered that Fang Yi's figure had already disappeared.

Even the poison that had permeated the air had vanished without a trace, having been absorbed back by Fang Yi.

In the area outside the city, only corpses remained, the stench of rot piercing and pungent, hissing as they decayed.

"He has left. Could he have just entered the city?"

Tie Feng said in shock.

Inside the city area.

Fang Yi had already returned to his residence using an extremely fast movement technique.

As soon as he returned, he manipulated the bones throughout his body, which crackled and popped, quickly restoring them to their original state, and even his appearance changed back to how it was before.

A sharp light flickered in his eyes as he checked his gains from this trip again.

If nothing else, the gold and silver alone amounted to nearly ten thousand taels.

For a short time, he wouldn't need to worry about gold and silver.

Secondly, there was this secret manual in his bosom.

Fang Yi took it out and fixed his gaze upon it.

"Earth Fiend Body Tempering Technique!"

The large characters came into view.

Fang Yi began to flip through it casually, carefully contemplating it.

This cultivation technique was indeed profound!

It emphasized 【Drawing Earth Fiend into the marrow, turning flesh and blood into steel】!

This technique required sensing the Earth Vein Qi, drawing energy from the earth veins to temper the physical body.

When practiced to completion, one could not only use the power of the earth veins to form a defense to protect the body, but also use the power of the earth veins to form attacks, utilizing the vibrations of the earth veins to shake enemies to death.

Often, one could make the hearts of swathes of enemies burst and die without making a sound.

It was truly a peerless art that combined offense and defense.

Even when severely injured, one could operate this technique to draw essence from the earth veins to heal oneself.

"If this technique is combined with my 'Earth Poison', it will surely reach a higher level."

Fang Yi's eyes flickered.

The Heavenly Principle Sect was so crazy; the city would be in chaos sooner or later.

He had to improve his strength at all costs now.

He didn't know if the City Lord, Fan Dongyang, could escape from the hands of the Heavenly Principle Sect.

If he really didn't escape, then this Qingyang City would be hard to defend.

He had to consider his next destination.

The afternoon passed quickly.

The entire city became filled with panic.

Streets, alleys, and every household were in an uproar.

They had already learned the news from outside through various channels and knew that the people of the Heavenly Principle Sect were attacking the city crazily.

Fortunately, Qingyang City was ultimately defended.

But this was only a temporary defense.

No one knew if more Heavenly Principle Sect evil disciples would flood into Qingyang City next.

Once more experts and more strange beasts came, Qingyang City was destined to be in chaos.

"I heard that the group of Heavenly Principle Sect evil disciples who attacked the city earlier all died, and they were all killed by a Gold-Rank Murder-Suppressing Envoy named Ouyang Feng?"

"What? This Ouyang Feng again?"

"The Ouyang Feng who wiped out the Blood-Sucking Sect a while ago? He has appeared again?"

"Too terrifying. He poisoned all the invading enemies with his own strength; this Ouyang Feng is a Poison King!"

"He is worthy of being the only remaining Gold-Rank Murder-Suppressing Envoy. It's no wonder no one dares to provoke him with this kind of strength..."

All sorts of voices arose.

Without a doubt, Ouyang Feng's name had spread throughout the city once again.

All factions were secretly shocked and greatly amazed.

Likewise, this also caused that mysterious faction secretly targeting the Murder-Suppressing Envoys to frown, their expressions turning somewhat gloomy.

Several more days passed.

There was no further turmoil outside the city.

That group of Heavenly Principle Sect evil disciples seemed to have restrained themselves again.

For many consecutive days, no information about them had been heard.

This caused many people to breathe a secret sigh of relief.

But many others also frowned secretly, remaining vigilant at all times.

Because the calmer it was, the more they felt something was wrong.

The Heavenly Principle Sect's evil disciples were all true madmen; they would never give up on Qingyang City because of one or two failures. Their sudden silence must mean they were brewing a bigger conspiracy.

It was very likely that unimaginable things would happen next.

Even Fang Yi pondered in his heart, feeling a hint of something wrong.

For several consecutive days, he practiced while working silently, all the while secretly keeping an eye on the movements within the entire city.

On the fifth day, a piece of news suddenly arrived, causing an uproar throughout the city, and all factions were greatly shocked.

Qingyang City Lord Fan Dongyang finally compromised.

He had already ceded three hundred miles of territory east of the city to be inhabited by the martial artists of Yunyang City.

Once the news broke, it immediately sparked countless discussions.

"How could he really cede territory?"

"This seriously damages our interests! What is the City Lord thinking?"

"It seems the Qingyang City Lord really can't hold on anymore. He is preparing to resist the Heavenly Principle Sect together with the people of Yunyang City, which is why he chose to cede territory."

Fang Yi frowned.

After all, when the two sides fought a decisive battle earlier, they were suddenly attacked by the Heavenly Principle Sect, and both sides must have suffered heavy losses.

Now, only by joining forces could they block the Heavenly Principle Sect.

Otherwise, relying on either side alone, they could not be the Heavenly Principle Sect's match.

"This is also good; at least both sides can welcome a brief peace."

Fang Yi thought to himself.

He was only at the Iron Bone Realm now, not enough to deal with more drastic changes.

Now that the two cities had temporarily reconciled, it just happened to give him more time to develop.

Next, he had to reach Copper Bone, or even the Supreme Golden Bone, as soon as possible.

Otherwise, facing the Heavenly Principle Sect, which had experts of the 【Tendon Changing Realm】 sitting in command, he really felt a sense of insecurity...
