I Can Strengthen Everything

True Qi condensed, and the blade hummed.

As the smoke and dust at the center of the explosion dissipated, a figure appeared before the Void Saintess’s eyes.

"What?!"

When she saw that Fang Xing was completely unharmed, the Void Saintess’s pupils shrank.

’He’s fine!’

’How could he possibly be fine?!’

The Red Thunder Pearl could grievously injure even someone at the Middle Stage of True Qi.

’How could he have come out completely unscathed!’

"Could it be a top-tier Horizontal Refining Divine Skill?!"

The Void Saintess instantly thought of a possibility.

And in that instant, Fang Xing abruptly vanished from where he stood.

’Not good!’

The Void Saintess tensed up, True Qi circulating all around her.

"ROAR—!!!"

A Dragon’s Roar suddenly echoed from behind her, and an extreme sense of pressure washed over her.

Instinctively, the Void Saintess spun around and slashed out.

The Treasure Saber emanated a powerful, fiery Sword Qi, seeming to split the very air.

DONG!!!

But her slash missed, and her True Qi Defense shattered. A monstrous Power invaded her body, feeling as if it had pulverized her internal organs.

She was sent flying more than forty feet away, crashing heavily to the ground, barely breathing.

The Treasure Saber was knocked from her hand, clattering to one side.

"Cough, cough..."

Lying on the ground, the Void Saintess coughed, and blood gushed endlessly from her mouth.

The Power inside her was not only immense but also carried the searing heat of True Qi.

"You will surely die at the hands of the Holy Sect." The Void Saintess’s gaze was sharp as she spoke her last words.

In the next instant, Fang Xing beckoned with his hand, pulling the Treasure Saber into his grasp. He brought the blade down in a single stroke.

SCHLICK—!

The sharp edge of the blade sliced across her neck. The Void Saintess’s expression froze forever in that moment as blood spilled from her snow-white throat. Her delicate body lay motionless on the ground.

A crimson light rose from the body and entered him. Gazing at the corpse on the ground, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Fang Xing then crouched down and searched her, finding a small red bag.

’A Storage Pouch!’

Opening the Storage Pouch, he found it was filled with gold, silver, and silver notes.

Besides those, there were also some Treasure Elixirs.

Their value was absolutely extraordinary!

"She was quite wealthy."

Fang Xing gave the contents a quick look before putting the Storage Pouch away.

’A windfall!’

Next, Fang Xing’s gaze fell upon the Treasure Saber in his hand.

The blade was long and slender, about three feet, three inches long. It was shaped like a sword, its sharp edge glinting.

On the hilt were two words.

Crimson Profound!

An Upper Grade Treasure Artifact, the Crimson Profound Saber. Reinforcement requires 30,000 points.

"An Upper Grade Treasure Artifact!"

Seeing the notification in his vision, Fang Xing’s eyes lit up.

’This was a huge score!’

An Upper Grade Treasure Artifact was something that couldn’t be bought, even for a thousand pieces of gold.

Treasure Artifacts were a category of weapon beyond even Divine Weapons.

This Crimson Profound Saber was not only incredibly sharp but also naturally contained a fiery Sword Qi. It was a perfect match for his Red Fire Divine Skill!

With a wave of his hand, a massive creature appeared out of thin air—the corpse of the Great Turtle Demon.

Wielding the Crimson Profound Saber, Fang Xing easily cut open the Great Turtle Demon’s body and quickly found a bright yellow Inner Core.

An Inner Core from an Initial Realm Demon, containing a powerful demonic aura and a Demon’s Residual Thought. Reinforcement Cost: 15,000 points!

"Fifteen thousand..."

’It seems this was stronger than an ordinary Initial Realm Great Demon, so this Inner Core’s effect should be more potent too,’ a thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind.

Reinforcing the Demon and Monster Core of a normal Initial Realm Great Demon only costs ten thousand points, but this Great Turtle Demon’s Inner Core requires fifteen thousand.

"I’ll reinforce it after I get back. This thing should provide a significant boost."

Coming back to his senses, he first put away the Demon and Monster Core, then stored the corpses of the Void Saintess and the Great Turtle Demon as well.

After cleaning everything up, Fang Xing looked up at the sheer cliff face. With True Qi circulating around him, he activated his Wind God Step to its full potential. Leaping into the air, he pushed off the bare rock wall, scaling the cliff at an incredible speed.

In less than a moment, Fang Xing had scaled the cliff, hundreds of yards high, successfully reaching the peak of the mountain behind the sect.

After a quick scan of his surroundings, Fang Xing vanished from the spot.

...

"How is the cleanup going?"

In the main hall of the Golden Yuan Sect, Baili Yanran looked at Chen Feng and asked.

Chen Feng cupped his fist and replied, "My Lady, all the Cultists in the Golden Yuan Sect have been executed."

"There are twelve survivors."

Baili Yanran nodded. Looking at Chen Feng, she said, "Immediately send someone to the Chang County Yamen and inform the County Magistrate to handle the aftermath."

"Yes!" Chen Feng nodded and immediately arranged for someone to leave.

"I wonder how things are going on Fang Xing’s end." At the side, Shen Ye’s brow was furrowed.

"I’m sure he’s fine," Baili Yanran said with a determined expression.

"Lord Fang is incredibly powerful. Dealing with that woman from the Evil Cult will surely be no problem for him," Chen Feng added.

And just then, a figure appeared at the entrance of the hall and stepped inside.

"Fang Xing!"

Seeing him, Baili Yanran’s face lit up with joy, and she immediately hurried forward.

"How did it go? Is that vile woman dead?" Baili Yanran asked, looking at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing smiled faintly and nodded. "It’s been taken care of."

With that, Fang Xing took the corpses of the Great Turtle Demon and the Void Saintess out of his Storage Pouch.

Seeing the corpses of the Void Saintess and the Great Turtle Demon, joyous expressions appeared on their faces.

"That’s wonderful! We really have you to thank this time," Baili Yanran said, beaming.

"Don’t mention it. It was all part of my duty," Fang Xing said with a smile.

The group inspected the corpses and found that the Great Turtle Demon’s Inner Core was missing. It didn’t take a genius to guess that Fang Xing had taken it.

But that wasn’t important.

Fang Xing had killed this demon, so it was perfectly normal for him to take its Inner Core.

Without his help, it was another question entirely whether they could have even completed the mission.
