Chapter 170 - 170: Killed
"Brother Fang?"
"I knew it. I knew you wouldn't die that easily." Xiao Yu was the first to recognize Fang Hong and cried out in surprise.
Fang Hong's sudden appearance instantly lifted Xiao Yu's heavy spirits, reigniting hope. She had always trusted Fang Hong.
"Fang Hong? How can this be?" Elder Lin Yi looked up after repelling Elder Lu Qi, utterly astonished.
He simply couldn't believe his eyes.
Fang Hong had actually managed to evade the legendary Nirvana Demonic Fire's consumption, and not only did he avoid serious injury, but he also successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Peak Realm in one go. This was practically a miracle.
"No. impossible." When Zhao Yongxiu saw Fang Hong, his old face instantly changed color, as if he had seen a rank 10 Demon Beast.
In particular, the powerful pressure emanating from Fang Hong terrified him. He instinctively moved away from Xiao Yu and closer to Tang Tian.
Elder Lu Qi, who was nearby, also saw his expression change drastically, his face becoming extremely unsightly.
He stared intently at Fang Hong in mid-air, a massive storm brewing in his heart. It had only been a few years, yet Fang Hong had soared from the Core Formation Stage to the Nascent Soul Peak? He was even comparable to Tang Tian.
This completely defied common sense.
Seeing the astonished reactions of the crowd around him, Tang Tian's face immediately darkened.
This mysterious expert named Fang Hong actually had a major connection with the Four Seas Sect?
After Zhao Yongxiu slowly approached, Tang Tian looked at him gloomily, his tone deep and cold as ice.
"What is going on? Who exactly is he?"
"Sect Master, the situation is like this."
Zhao Yongxiu looked nervous and dared not conceal anything, immediately recounting everything that had happened in the Dragon Palace in great detail.
After listening, a look of shock appeared on Tang Tian's face.
"To be able to escape the Nirvana Demonic Fire unharmed, it seems highly likely that he obtained the Demonic Fire alchemy furnace."
"Demonic Fire alchemy furnace? No wonder his cultivation improved so quickly." Zhao Yongxiu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, his eyes flickering.
Thoughts churned in his mind, and he immediately added.
"Sect Master, this person definitely possesses a heaven-shaking Supreme Treasure. If we can capture him, it might help you break through to the Divine Transformation Realm."
Hearing this, Tang Tian's heart immediately grew fervent, his gaze blazing as he locked onto Fang Hong's figure.
At this moment, Hua Hui took the opportunity to fly next to her daughter Xiao Yu and asked with a face full of concern.
"Yu'er, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"Yu'er, who exactly is this brother Fang? Is he your friend?" Xiao Li also approached curiously and asked in a low voice.
"Haha, Brother Fang is an Honored Elder of our Four Seas Sect. I personally invited him to join the sect." Xiao Yu said, her face beaming with pride.
"What? An Honored Elder?" Xiao Li and his wife were immediately stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
The couple never dreamed that the sect had quietly gained such a powerful Honored Elder?
Since arriving on the battlefield, Fang Hong had been silently observing his surroundings and quickly gained a general understanding of the situation.
Sure enough, just as he had expected, the Four Seas Sect was indeed at a disadvantage.
"This old man is Xiao Ze. May I ask if Fellow Daoist Fang is a friend of my granddaughter?" Xiao Ze came up beside Fang Hong and cautiously asked.
Fang Hong nodded slightly, acknowledging him.
Seeing this, Xiao Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Fang Hong was on their side. If he were an enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Elder Zhao, we meet again." Fang Hong turned his gaze to Zhao Yongxiu, revealing a strange smile.
Seeing Fang Hong's smile, Zhao Yongxiu immediately felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly used a spiritual artifact to shield himself, terrified that Fang Hong would suddenly rush over and kill him.
"Fellow Daoist, this is between my Shadow Demon Island and..."
Tang Tian was just about to say something, but suddenly, Fang Hong's figure flickered, disappearing from where he stood and instantly teleporting directly behind Zhao Yongxiu.
The speed was so fast that even Tang Tian couldn't help but narrow his pupils, his heart shaking.
Pfft!
Zhao Yongxiu didn't even have time to turn around before he violently spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Fang Hong slammed a palm onto his back, instantly shattering his internal organs and even smashing his Nascent Soul in one blow.
Extreme terror gripped Zhao Yongxiu's heart, and his vision blurred. He originally intended for his Nascent Soul to Soul Emergence and escape, but unfortunately, his Nascent Soul was already severely injured and completely unable to struggle.
"You. Don't you dare act so presumptuously." Tang Tian finally recovered his senses. Seeing his subordinate killed, his rage soared to the heavens, and he shouted angrily.
He fiercely swung the Blood Sword in his hand, bringing forth monstrous Bloody Qi as he slashed toward Fang Hong.
But Fang Hong's expression was indifferent. The Swift Wind Wings on his back vibrated slightly, and with a "swoosh," he instantly vanished while carrying Zhao Yongxiu's corpse.
Tang Tian only struck empty air.
When the crowd saw Fang Hong again, he had quietly appeared behind Elder Lu Qi.
"Save, save me." Elder Lu Qi's face was deathly pale. Terrified to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, he let out a shriek.
He tried to activate a spiritual artifact for defense, but it was already too late. Fang Hong threw another punch.
Bang!
This punch landed solidly on Elder Lu Qi's back. The violent force instantly shattered the tendons and bones inside his body. Elder Lu Qi immediately spat out blood and, just like Zhao Yongxiu, was utterly defenseless, killed by Fang Hong's single punch.
"That's the second one."
Fang Hong uttered the words faintly, then collected both corpses into his storage bag, instantly teleported away again, and appeared before Elder Wu.
"No, don't. Ahhhhh."
Elder Wu was terrified and tried to flee, but he had no time to react. Fang Hong threw a punch, a scream rang out, and another Middle Stage Nascent Soul spirit pill was harvested.
"Stop right there."
Tang Tian roared furiously. Watching his subordinates being killed one after another, he completely erupted in rage.
He fiercely summoned a Black Cloak spiritual artifact, and his entire being darted toward Fang Hong like a phantom, executing his fastest Escape Technique in an attempt to stop Fang Hong's slaughter.
However, no matter how fast he was, how could he outspeed the current Fang Hong?
Immediately after killing Elder Wu, Fang Hong's gaze swept around, locking onto his next target—the demonized Sect Leader of the Myriad Talisman Sect, "Wu Fa," who was a Late Stage Nascent Soul Demonic Servant.
Fang Hong instantly teleported to Wu Fa's side without hesitation. Wu Fa tried to counterattack, but Fang Hong gave him no chance, killing him with a single punch.
Even the peak rank 10 Dragon King couldn't withstand Fang Hong's punch, let alone a mere human Demonic Servant in the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Fang Hong casually tossed Wu Fa's corpse into his storage bag, finally setting his sights on Tang Tian.
In just a few breaths, Fang Hong, by himself, had killed four Nascent Soul Cultivators from Shadow Demon Island, leaving Tang Tian all alone.
This action by Fang Hong left all the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Four Seas Sect dumbfounded, their mouths wide open and their expressions exaggerated.
As for Tang Tian, his entire body trembled slightly. He gritted his teeth, his face darkened to the extreme, and all his previous composure was gone.
