Chapter 307 - 307: Immortal Artifact
After just a few breaths, the three Sect Ancestors' screams completely disappeared.
The swarm of Demon Locusts retreated, returning to the Skull Masked Man's side.
Looking at the spot where the three Sect Ancestors had just stood, no one was visible; only a few tattered clothes, a storage bag, and the three dim Immortal Artifacts remained on the ground.
The hall suddenly fell silent.
Only Fang Hong, Su Shan, and Azure Emperor remained, along with that Demon man wearing a skull mask and exuding a strange Qi.
"I didn't expect there to be two Wood Spirit Immortal Bodies. Young man, your luck with women isn't bad at all."
"But it's perfect; their Physiques are very suitable for use as a Cauldron. If I refine them, I might even be able to directly breakthrough to the True Immortal realm."
The Skull Masked Man's gaze swept over Su Shan and Azure Emperor, and he let out a sinister laugh.
With that, the Skull Masked Man raised his hand again, controlling a large number of Demon Locusts to swarm towards Fang Hong and the two women.
Facing the incoming Demon Locusts, Fang Hong remained calm and composed.
With a thought, the years pearl within him flickered slightly, and a small figure instantly leaped out from the years pearl—it was Little Rainbow.
As soon as the little fellow appeared, its eyes immediately lit up upon seeing the sky full of flying Demon Locusts, and it cried out excitedly, seemingly particularly interested in these insects.
Seeing Little Rainbow's reaction, Fang Hong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart; everything was stable now.
Ultimately, this group of Demon Locusts was just a relatively powerful fire-attribute Demon Beast, and Little Rainbow's ability happened to be able to counter them.
Against these Demon Locusts, Little Rainbow was the best helper.
"Go, Little Rainbow, let these insects see your power." Fang Hong said softly to Little Rainbow with a slight smile.
Little Rainbow immediately transformed into a seven-colored ray of light and quickly flew into the air.
And those Demon Locusts that were originally rushing towards Fang Hong and the two women immediately became agitated when they saw Little Rainbow appear.
They appeared incredibly panicked, as if they had encountered their natural nemesis, and they all turned around, desperately trying to get away from Little Rainbow.
Even the Skull Masked Man's commands were completely ignored; they only wanted to escape this terrifying presence.
"What? What, what is going on?"
The Skull Masked Man's heart jolted at this sudden scene; his swarm of Demon Locusts was actually terrified.
His carefully cultivated swarm, which had always obeyed his every command, was now afraid of a small chick; this was completely beyond his expectations.
Before the Skull Masked Man could recover from his shock, Little Rainbow had already begun to exert its power.
It opened its tiny mouth, and a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted, like a black hole vortex, sweeping towards the sky full of Demon Locusts.
The Demon Locusts struggled desperately, flapping their wings to try and escape, but in front of Little Rainbow's suction, their struggles seemed so futile.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not break free from that devouring force, and they could only be pulled little by little towards Little Rainbow's mouth, then whoosh they were sucked into its belly.
"No, don't. Stop it."
The Skull Masked Man panicked, quickly taking out a black bag, intending to recall the Demon Locusts.
But no matter how hard he tried, the black bag showed no reaction; it simply couldn't break free from Little Rainbow's suction.
He could only watch helplessly as one Locust after another was sucked away by Little Rainbow, feeling both anxious and furious.
"Damn it. You stinking chick, I will fry you alive." The Skull Masked Man was completely enraged, his eyes glowing red as he prepared to personally eliminate Little Rainbow.
But just as he was about to cast a spell, Fang Hong's figure had already flashed behind him.
Before the Skull Masked Man could react, Fang Hong delivered a fierce punch.
The Skull Masked Man sensed the killing intent behind him, stiffened with fright, and hastily circulated his internal magical power, condensing a protective barrier behind him.
Bang.
A loud sound exploded, the protective barrier instantly shattered, and Fang Hong's fist landed squarely on the Skull Masked Man's body.
The Skull Masked Man screamed, his body uncontrollably flying forward, crashing heavily to the ground, causing the entire ground to instantly crack.
Fang Hong did not kill him with one punch; he wanted to let Little Rainbow finish devouring the Demon Locusts first.
The Skull Masked Man crawled out from the shattered ruins; his previously tall and straight figure now appeared exceptionally disheveled, and the skull mask on his face was completely shattered.
Beneath the mask, his true face was surprisingly handsome, with sword-like brows, starry eyes, and a high nose bridge.
However, this face was now covered with ferocity, glaring at Fang Hong with a resentful expression.
Just then, Little Rainbow had finished devouring all the Demon Locusts; not a single one was left.
"So Little Rainbow is that powerful."
Su Shan stood by, watching Little Rainbow devour the Demon Locusts with a shocked expression, unable to help but exclaim.
"What a powerful Spiritual Beast." Azure Emperor, standing nearby, was also stunned by Little Rainbow's performance and couldn't help but exclaim.
With her many years of knowledge and experience, she had seen countless Spiritual Beasts, yet she couldn't determine what kind of Spiritual Beast Little Rainbow truly was.
Sizzle. Sizzle. Sizzle.
Just as everyone was exclaiming, a strange sound suddenly came from Little Rainbow's body after it had devoured all the Demon Locusts.
Immediately after, a layer of dazzling seven-colored light emanated from its body, enveloping its entire form.
From a distance, it looked like a ball of seven-colored light floating in the air, exceptionally brilliant.
At the same time, the Qi emanating from Little Rainbow's body was rapidly surging at a visible speed.
"Its feathers are brightly colored, and it is surrounded by seven-colored divine light... Could this be... the legendary Auspicious Beast."
"You actually possess such a beast."
The Skull Masked Man looked at Little Rainbow, enveloped in seven-colored light, as if he had suddenly remembered something important, and his pupils abruptly constricted.
The resentment on his face was instantly replaced by greed, his eyes became intensely fervent, staring fixedly at Little Rainbow, as if he had seen the most precious treasure in the world.
"Auspicious Beast? Could that be Little Rainbow's true name?" Fang Hong heard the Skull Masked Man's words, his brows furrowing slightly as he secretly speculated.
Fang Hong composed himself; no matter Little Rainbow's identity, the most important thing now was to subdue the Skull Masked Man in front of him.
Once he was subdued, whether it was Little Rainbow's identity or the secrets behind the Skull Masked Man, everything would be revealed.
"Hahaha. Young man, as long as I eliminate you today, this Auspicious Beast will be mine." The Skull Masked Man grew more excited the more he thought about it, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Immediately after, he suddenly flipped his hand, conjuring a completely black longsword.
As soon as the longsword appeared, it exuded a dense demonic light, and waves of evil Qi rapidly spread in all directions.
"This, this is an Immortal Artifact. He actually has an Immortal Artifact too. Daoist Fang, you must be careful."
Azure Emperor's face instantly turned pale with shock as she felt the Qi emanating from the black longsword, and she quickly warned Fang Hong.
Su Shan, standing nearby, also turned pale, looking at Fang Hong with a worried expression.
