Chapter 478: Condensing Light Sect (2/5, Autumn Subscription)

However, this was not the end.

Yang lifespan burned, combined with the inner force of the Blazing Fire Heart Method, the invisible wind pressure suddenly pressed down madly, and at the instant it left the blade, it formed a fierce wave of flames.

The wave of flames centered on the rapidly moving 【Giant Egg Guai】, covering down in a wide range.

Whoosh! Whoosh! -

550!

670!

686!

The flames immediately dealt damage on the 【Giant Egg Guai】's body, and used the strong wind pressure to suppress its speed, causing its figure to change from a streaking afterimage state to clearly visible, its speed slowing.

"Now!"

Nine-Turn Chain Blade!

+100 Control Value!

The Mad Blade cleaved down like splitting Mount Hua, the surrounding flame wind pressure gathering together.

Fire Tornado! Fierce Blade Cleave!

The gathering fire tornado, while dealing damage, swept the helpless 【Giant Egg Guai】 high up, lifting it toward Fang Yue's direction. It just so happened to send the 【Giant Egg Guai】 directly into the madly cleaving fire blade!

"Roar!!"

Boom!!!

Amid the fierce roar, the maddened slash layered with several buffs had already struck the 【Giant Egg Guai】!

A total of over 1300 Control Value, plus the fire blade with 15 Sharpness Value, under a full-force slash.

2667!

A damage count that wasn't particularly high floated above the 【Giant Egg Guai】's head, but the effect was no simple matter—it directly cleaved the 【Giant Egg Guai】's hardest shell into pieces that shattered and flew off, its body frozen midair, unable to move, as if trapped in a 【stagger】 mechanic.

Moreover, this was not Fang Yue's finish.

The fire blade, like high-temperature magma, after breaking the 【Giant Egg Guai】's eggshell, instantly melted the dark matter inside the 【Giant Egg Guai】, and severed the large amount of dark flocculent gathering matter within its body!

As smooth as silk, the fire blade continued its downward slash, cutting through the 【Giant Egg Guai】's dark matter and flocculent gathering matter, directly striking the most core area where densely packed thick white long legs were coiled, madly melting and severing all the thick white long legs, amid splattering black blood, slicing straight down, cutting open the lower eggshell, and ultimately slicing the entire 【Giant Egg Guai】 clean in two midair!

18762!

17655!

27621!

52921!

Almost at the instant the eggshell shattered and the fire blade entered the body.

Massive damage numbers erupted crazily, directly burning the 【Giant Egg Guai】 so badly it couldn't even react, dying violently midair.

By the time Fang Yue landed, the 【Giant Egg Guai】 had already gone still, scattered parts falling like dead objects.

"System Notice: Congratulations to player 【Yese Liming】 for killing the Guai 【Giant Egg Guai】. Reward: Control +4, Resilience +4, Yang Lifespan +1 month."

"System Notice: Congratulations, you obtained Black Stone x10."

A reward of 1 month of Yang Lifespan?

Fang Yue was slightly stunned, immediately realizing that this Guai should be a rather special Guai, with rewards leaning toward Yang Lifespan rather than attribute points.

It's just that he hadn't even had a chance to experience this Guai's terrifying aspects before it was cut down by his single slash.

Thinking carefully, that absurd movement speed that could rival the Qingsi Horse was itself a kind of special ability.

And this slash of his... was no casual slash.

It was basically a ceiling-level slash under Fang Yue's normal circumstances.

Of course, slaying a Guai in one slash was also a fact!

Fang Yue estimated that this 【Giant Egg Guai】's strength should be mid Black Grade, and even among mid Black Grade Guai it counted as top-tier.

He glanced at his attributes.

"Control: 905 【Base: 925】 【Status/Buff: -20】."

"Resilience: 805 【Base: 825】 【Status/Buff: -20】."

"Yang Lifespan: 8 years, 7 months, 22 days."

Not bad, as long as there's some gain.

Of course, the most important thing was that the Qingsi Horse wasn't harmed.

The reason Fang Yue struck with thunderous force was his fear of getting entangled with the Guai in prolonged combat, and then the Qingsi Horse being affected by the battle and having problems, or the commotion of the fight attracting other Guai to approach.

Either situation would be very dangerous.

Being alone in the wilderness, if you can end a battle quickly, you absolutely cannot drag it out.

Pocketing the Black Stones, Fang Yue mounted his horse and continued galloping along Ningguang Changdao.

Along the way, he ran into two more groups of Guai.

However, Fang Yue relied on the Qingsi Horse's speed to shake them off.

When Fang Yue rode to the foot of Ningguang Mountain, he saw from afar a youth dressed in finery, yet carrying a basket of medicinal herbs on his back, just about to hike up the mountain path on foot.

The scene looked somewhat strange, as if the youth was both poor and wealthy.

He could afford silk garments ordinary people couldn't, yet carried a basket only poor families' children would carry, and the medicinal herbs inside were presumably all gathered by himself.

What kind of puzzling behavior is this? Rich enough to go into the mountains to gather herbs for fun?

Without thinking much, Fang Yue called out to him, and the youth stopped his steps, turning his head in confusion.

"Who are you?"

By this time Fang Yue had already dismounted, leading his horse as he quickly ran to his side.

"I am the newly appointed Ye Baiyi of Qingsi County, sent here in the name of Qing Yi, to find Ning Laotou, with important matters to inquire about. Do you know where he is?"

"Are you here to see my father?"

The youth paused for a moment, then broke into a broad, sunny grin.

"I'm Ning Wudian. My father lives up the mountain—he hasn't come down in ages. Let me take you to him."

Not bad luck at all—arrived and immediately bumped into Ning Laotou's son.

Though Ning Laotou's son really is... quite young.

Fang Yue looked at Ning Wudian's age and figured this was a child born late in life.

Generally speaking, in situations like this, the old man would be protective of his own—so he'd better watch his words later.

Because the mountain path was rather steep, the Qingsi Horse could only suffer along, snorting its displeasure a few times, which Fang Yue ignored.

"This horse... could it be the Qingsi Horse that only the Qingsi can breed?" Ning Wudian sized it up for a good while before he couldn't help asking.

"That's right."

Ning Wudian instantly became like a child who'd found a new toy, circling the Qingsi Horse. "Can I touch it?"

Fang Yue didn't really mind: "It's in a foul mood right now. Just be careful not to get kicked."

Ning Wudian immediately broke into a smile, happily patting the Qingsi Horse here and there.

"So green! The patterns on its body are just as green as the legends say!"

"Haha! It tried to kick me, but I dodged it."

At first the Qingsi Horse was in a terrible temper and uncooperative, but after a few kicks that failed to land on Ning Wudian, it could only huff angrily through its big nostrils and ignore him.

"You've studied martial arts?" Fang Yue asked, slightly surprised.

"Of course! Don't let my looks fool you—I'm a Houtian Third-rate Realm martial artist!"

Ning Wudian swung his little fists, and Fang Yue was stunned for a moment.

Such a young Martial Dao practitioner... it seems Ning Laotou really did have a child late in life, and has poured quite a bit of capital into Ning Wudian.

As far as he knew, 【Weird Object Forgers】 generally weren't all that powerful.

The Heart Methods they cultivated also leaned toward supporting Weird Object forging—otherwise they'd fall a step behind their peers from the start.

"Then everything you know—was it all taught by your father?"

"Naturally! My father is the Sect Master of the Ning Guang Sect!"

"Ning Guang Sect?"
