Chapter 508: Thank You, Stranger (6/10, Autumn Subscription)

Compared to the Horse Seat, Fang Yue's advantage was that he had no accumulated injuries and no elixir poison weighing him down.

The Horse Seat, on the other hand, would accumulate injuries through continuous combat, merely forcibly suppressing them with elixirs. At the same time, the buildup of elixir poison meant he could no longer keep popping pills.

The scales of victory had already tipped toward Fang Yue, when suddenly these three Blood Grade Possessions burst out.

If he had to deal with the Possessions while also fighting the Horse Seat, Fang Yue would likely be in for more misfortune than good.

But that probably wasn't possible—the Possessions wouldn't specifically target…

Fang Yue had just been thinking this when he saw the three great Possessions suddenly, in unison, fix their gazes on him. Those with mouths and those without all drooled noisily, as if Fang Yue were some kind of delicious morsel.

While Fang Yue was stunned, the three Blood Grade Possessions charged over madly, leaping right past the screaming Miaofa as if they had zero interest in her, heading straight for Fang Yue.

What the hell?!

Fang Yue was instantly shocked, the hairs on his back standing on end.

Three mere Blood Grade Possessions were no real challenge for Fang Yue, who had now advanced to the Xiantian Realm.

The problem was, there was still a guy standing beside him who had just been his equal in combat!

Not only was Fang Yue bewildered, even the Horse Seat not far away was full of bewilderment.

He also completely didn't understand what had happened.

But when he saw those three Blood Grade Possessions pounce on Fang Yue and tangle with him, he immediately keenly smelled an opportunity!

"Miaofa! Find somewhere to hide yourself. Wait until I've dealt with the situation here, then I'll come find you."

After giving the order, the Horse Seat didn't hesitate at all, charging toward the battlefield where Fang Yue was.

But just as he was about to reach Fang Yue, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"How could this be…"

"Blazing Fire—Explode!!"

Boom!!!

Ferocious flames shot skyward, the earth shook and mountains swayed, rubble flew everywhere.

The Horse Seat was blasted away in a sorry state once more. Looking again at those three Possessions—

Although each bore charred-black wounds, not a single one had died. They were even baring fangs and brandishing claws as they lunged at the weakened Fang Yue!

The Horse Seat's eyes lit up.

Compared to a human body, a Possession's body was far too tough, and its Qi and Blood were full—it could completely withstand the 【Blazing Fire Explosion】 attack.

Although the Horse Seat didn't know how Fang Yue managed to chain Blazing Fire Explosions together, he had already seen through the technique's flaw.

Clearly, the aftereffects of using Blazing Fire Explosion could not be eliminated.

As far as the Horse Seat could see, all Fang Yue had done was use that strange recovery ability to forcibly heal the injuries from Blazing Fire Explosion.

And as stated before, recovery takes a process!

During that process, if he could grievously wound Fang Yue, he could truly kill him!

"Explode!"

Seeing that Fang Yue seemed about to recover from his injuries and escape the encirclement of the three Blood Grade Possessions, the Horse Seat's face darkened as he roared.

Boom!!

A blast of air shot from his body. Within the shockwave, it had no effect whatsoever on the massive Possessions, but Fang Yue's body instantly stiffened.

"Die!"

The Horse Seat let out an excited low growl.

At this moment, he felt as though he were fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with the Possessions.

The feeling was still quite bizarre, but as long as he could kill Fang Yue, everything else was fine.

But it didn't work out that way. After a momentary stun, Fang Yue immediately regained mobility, dodged the attack, and began fighting the three Blood Grade Possessions.

As the Fire Blade danced wildly, chunks of rotten flesh were sliced off the Rotten Flesh Possession. The putrid, stinking meat fell like rain, landing on the ground.

Watching Fang Yue's fluid, effortless handling of the situation, the Horse Seat realized clearly that he couldn't just stand here watching the show.

His figure moved, and he charged up again.

But just as he was about to reach Fang Yue's side, he suddenly grinned eerily and violently retreated.

"Blazing Fire… Explode!"

Fang Yue was startled, but since it had already been activated, he could only force the explosion out.

Boom!!

Flames erupted. All three Possessions began bleeding, their movements growing sluggish, covered in wounds.

As for Fang Yue himself, he was in a rather miserable state. His entire body ached so much he barely had the strength to move. Worse still, the Horse Seat, who had just retreated out of range, was already grinning ferociously and charging back toward him.

"Parchment!"

【I'm working on it, I'm working on it! 【Time Reversal】 just needs time, quack!】

Fang Yue's heart sank. Judging by Time Reversal's current recovery efficiency, before it could restore his body to full condition, he'd already have to face the Horse Seat.

When it rains, it pours. Just as Fang Yue's situation was dire, he suddenly noticed that from the direction Miaofa and Ming had come, two more red dots had emerged from the darkness!

Another two Blood Grade Possessions, drawn here by the battle!

But… where on earth were all these Blood Grade Possessions coming from?

How could this Underground Stronghold be holding so many Blood Grade Possessions?

That wasn't right! Judging by Xiao Xuedou's situation, the Possessions here were probably the subsequent Possession bodies from Qingluan Lou in Qingsi County.

It was just that during the first Possession resurgence, the Possessions' overall strength was quite ordinary—no one knew why. Now that he saw them, each one was more ferocious than the last. Even the weak Xiao Xuedou had become a Blood Grade Possession.

Could it be… these Possession-possessed Possessions could actually evolve?

But even so, the speed of this evolution was far too abnormal—simply too fast.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Fang Yue's mind. Watching the two Possessions in the darkness already leading a large pack of Black Grade Possessions charging toward him, Fang Yue gauged his body's recovery status, weighed the distance and the pros and cons, and prepared to swallow the 【Haijiao Pill】 in one gulp.

And just at this moment...

"Who dares touch him!!"

A furious roar suddenly exploded from the other end of the passage — the direction leading to Qingsi County.

Almost the instant the voice fell, a golden afterimage, fast to the extreme, arrived later but struck first, shooting straight out of the darkness, leaping up, and stomping one foot onto the back of Ma Zuo.

"Burst!"

Ma Zuo's face changed, and he let out a low growl.

Boom!!

The blast of air erupted violently; the three strange creatures and Fang Yue were all flung outward by the shockwave and crashed to the ground.

As for the figure in the golden afterimage, after a brief pause, he kicked at Ma Zuo's body, but Ma Zuo countered with a punch that shattered his leg, and he let out a scream of agony.

"I thought some fierce character had come, but in the end... that's all?"

Melting Silver Fist launched; Ma Zuo aimed at the head of the golden afterimage, who was half-kneeling on the ground and temporarily unable to move, and smashed his fist down.

"Captain Wu!!"

Thud!!

Fang Yue's cry of alarm and the sharp sound of a head being smashed rang out at the same time.

Captain Wu, who had rushed over to save him, had half his head blown apart on cue; Silver water splashed wildly across the ground as his body toppled down.

Before absolute strength, Captain Wu — a Second-rate Realm cultivator of the Postnatal stage — even with the mysterious power of the golden threads augmenting him, was easily slaughtered by Ma Zuo.

This was Ma Zuo's true strength.

This was the true might of the Melting Silver Fist!

Ma Zuo was dazed.

Having fought Fang Yue for too long, he had almost forgotten what it felt like to one-shot someone, almost forgotten how terrifying the power of the Melting Silver Fist truly was.

It was only this fool who came to deliver his head that let him rediscover the long-lost feeling, let him remember what a Xiantian Realm powerhouse should truly be like.

Thank you, stranger!

You helped me find my confidence again, find my youth again!
