Chapter 177: Unknown Existence

Lv Fang smiled and shook his head, saying, "My physical body seems a bit strong. Sitting at the same distance as you all, I don't feel the effect of the Extreme Yin Qi is all that great. Right now is just right."

He was not a reckless person.

Nor would he put on a brave front for the sake of face.

Comfortable is comfortable; uncomfortable is uncomfortable.

Indeed, this distance made him more comfortable.

Pan said with a hint of sourness, "As expected of the Lord Wenguan Hou. During the competition to climb the snow mountain, I already felt your physical body was very strong."

Lv Fang smiled and said nothing, closing his eyes to begin cultivating.

Demon Heart: "The Extreme Yin Qi here is truly abundant. Do you want to use me? That way, I can help you rapidly absorb the Extreme Yin Qi, allowing your realm to improve significantly in a short time."

"No need."

Lv Fang said firmly in his heart.

Demon Heart said distressingly, "It seems you still harbor defenses against me. Sigh, with a great enemy before us, you are still so guarded against me. I have a wealth of skills but nowhere to display them."

Lv Fang sensed the Extreme Yin Qi invading his limbs and bones, and having no time to converse with the Demon Heart, he utilized his entire body's Haoran Zhengqi to begin cultivating.

What he did not imagine was that he had underestimated the power of the Extreme Yin Qi.

In just a few breaths, his entire body was about to freeze stiff. However, fortunately, his physical body was sufficiently formidable, and after consuming some Book Fragrance Qi, he quickly utilized the Extreme Yin Qi to cultivate.

After consuming the Book Fragrance Qi, his physical strength and bodily damage could be rapidly recovered.

In this way, it could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Lv Fang's cultivation base was rising rapidly. Not knowing how much time had passed, he consumed another large mouthful of Book Fragrance Qi. Suddenly, with a 'pop' sound, he successfully entered the Sixth Rank, Third Stage.

Pan sensed it, took a look at Lv Fang, and shook his head with a bitter smile repeatedly. Previously, he had said he would leave Lv Fang far behind, yet who knew the other party would improve to the Sixth Rank, Third Stage so quickly.

Snow Luo Sha similarly sensed it. She did not even open her eyes, only sighing in her heart. She discovered that the gap between herself and Lv Fang was growing wider and wider.

Unaccountably, she had a premonition.

Perhaps when they were at the Seventh Rank Lower Upper Realm, she was closest to Lv Fang. As time passed, she would increasingly be unable to keep up with his pace.

The colorful snow mountain.

Slap!

A slight sound rang out.

Only to see a claw mark appear on the stone wall of the snow mountain. Slap, slap, slap... this claw mark grew more and more, climbing toward the mountain peak.

Only the claw marks were visible, but no figure could be seen.

It was as if a transparent existence was climbing the snow mountain.

The moment the claw mark reached the mountain peak, its figure flashed and vanished. This was a strange-looking exotic beast: humanoid, its entire body's skin green, its claws and toenails incomparably sharp, its face like a human's, only its teeth grew outward.

It looked exceptionally ugly.

The green-skinned exotic beast stared motionless at the location of the cave. It seemed somewhat hesitant, but ultimately, it still walked slowly toward the cave.

And in the cave, because Lv Fang's Haoran Zhengqi was significantly less than ordinary people of the same realm, even with the replenishment of Book Fragrance Qi, he had to release his 'Force' to resist the Extreme Yin Qi.

It was also because of this that he discovered something had entered the cave.

Although the other party had almost completely concealed its aura, because Lv Fang cultivated internal cultivation heart techniques, his control over 'Force' was extremely strong. Therefore, he could secretly release 'Force' and also secretly perceive the situation in the surroundings.

"An unknown danger of the snow mountain?"

Lv Fang muttered in his heart, paying attention to the existence that had intruded rashly with a more focused spirit.

Could it be a Luo Sha from the Luo Sha Nation?

Or someone guarding the Great Array.

It didn't look like it. This existence should be at the Sixth Rank or above because it dared to break in alone and also concealed its aura and footsteps; at a glance, it was approaching with purpose.

There was a 100% probability it was an enemy.

In order not to alert the enemy, Lv Fang did not even open his eyes, but because his control over 'Force' was strong, he still locked onto the unknown existence.

He could also perceive that Snow Luo Sha and Pan had not sensed this unknown existence.

No! Snow Luo Sha was gifted; she should have heard the movement of the uninvited guest. She should also be in the same mindset as him, intending to wait for the unknown existence to get closer before launching an attack.

Just as Lv Fang thought of this, Snow Luo Sha's voice transmission already rang in his ear: "Lord Wenguan Hou, be careful. There is an invisible unknown existence staring at you."

"I have also sensed it."

Lv Fang replied via voice transmission.

It was also at this moment that Pan, who was sitting there, suddenly opened his eyes and yawned. He consumed an elixir before continuing to close his eyes to cultivate.

Because Pan did not know of the arrival of the green-skinned exotic beast, he appeared exceptionally natural, which also caused the beast, whose intelligence was not low, to relax its vigilance somewhat.

It observed Lv Fang and the other two back and forth, finally fixing its gaze on the nearest Lv Fang. It was a special Fourth-Rank exotic beast.

If it were a sneak attack, with a full-force strike, it felt it should be able to instantly kill one person, which would also make its subsequent battle a bit easier.

For some reason, it always felt somewhat insecure in its heart, as if the three people in front were very dangerous.

However, in the end, it did not run away but chose to move toward Lv Fang. There was a calling sound on his body that made it unable to extricate itself.

One step, two steps, getting closer and closer.

The distance between the green-skinned exotic beast and Lv Fang reached ten steps away. Wanting to get too close was definitely not possible; that would make people notice.

Its finishing move was a sneak attack, not a head-on confrontation.

This distance was about right. With its instantaneous sprinting speed, it could grab Lv Fang's head in a breath.

It was like a gust of wind blowing past.

The green-skinned exotic beast rushed toward Lv Fang at an extremely fast speed. Because its speed was truly too fast, Snow Luo Sha ultimately could not hold back, fiercely opening her eyes to warn: "Careful, there is an enemy!"

Unfortunately, the warning came too late.

The moment the green-skinned exotic beast launched its attack, Lv Fang had already operated his 'Force', pushing it away a long distance by force.

Also because of the collision, the green-skinned exotic beast's figure flashed and vanished. Lv Fang and the other two also saw its original appearance; it was indeed an exotic beast.

"Oh, quite sensitive, aren't you? I didn't manage to trick you even like this."

A hoarse, chewing-like sound came from the green-skinned exotic beast's mouth: "So what if you discovered me? If the sneak attack doesn't succeed, you still won't be able to run away."

After saying this, it directly lifted its invisibility state, revealing its ugly and ferocious appearance. Its pair of eyes looked at Lv Fang with a mocking expression.

Lv Fang frowned and hesitated, saying: "Do you know me?"

The green-skinned exotic beast shook its head with a bitter smile, saying: "There is an item on you that I want. If you hand over the item, I will leave immediately. Otherwise, all three of you will die here. Please be serious; I am being earnest." ===== CHAPTER 178 =====
