I Can Strengthen Everything

"Trying to run?!"

From the side, Lin Ze, who had been lying in wait, shot out. He drew a Treasure Sword, its cold gleam flashing as he slashed, sending the Black Water Profound Snake flying.

THUD!!!

The massive snake’s body slammed heavily onto the ground, a bloody gash appearing on its head.

It was grievously wounded once more!

And as it happened, the snake landed less than thirty feet away from Fang Xing’s position.

’A perfect chance!’

This was the moment he had been waiting for. Fang Xing shot out with the force of a thunderclap.

The Crimson Profound Treasure Saber radiated a scorching Saber Qi.

SHIIING—!

A single, fleeting strike. With the sharpness of an Upper Grade Treasure Artifact, the result was inevitable. The blow cleanly severed the Black Water Profound Snake’s head.

In that same instant, he swiftly stored half of the snake’s corpse.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

It happened so fast that by the time the other two reacted, Fang Xing had already taken half of the Black Water Profound Snake’s Demon Corpse.

"You bastard!"

A furious roar echoed through the forest. Two pairs of enraged eyes stared at Fang Xing, looking as if they wanted to eat him alive.

They had struggled so hard to wound the Black Water Profound Snake and victory was finally in sight, only for someone to snatch it away at the last moment.

In that moment, intense Killing Intent churned within both of them.

"It’s him!"

Lin Ze got a clear look at the newcomer’s face and his rage instantly cooled.

Fang Xing!

It’s him again!

’Dammit, why do I run into him everywhere?!’

Lin Ze’s expression turned extremely grim.

Just then, the other man stepped forward at an incredible speed. A vast, imposing pressure washed over the area as his eyes locked onto Fang Xing.

"Hand over the Demon Corpse, and I might let you leave."

Xu Yan’s gaze was ice-cold as he forcefully suppressed the murderous urge in his heart.

Fang Xing looked at him, his expression unchanging. "Did this demon pledge fealty to you? Who the hell do you think you are?"

Fang Xing retorted without holding back.

"You’re courting death!"

A vein throbbed on Xu Yan’s temple as he once again summoned the Blood-colored Sword Pill.

"Senior Brother Xu, wait a moment." At this, Lin Ze spoke up. Xu Yan glanced at him, his brow furrowing.

Lin Ze quickly said, "Senior Brother Xu, this man is from the Observatory."

"The Observatory!"

Xu Yan’s gaze hardened. He looked at Lin Ze. "You know him?"

Lin Ze nodded slightly. "We crossed paths a few months ago."

Hearing this, Xu Yan looked at Fang Xing. "Since you’re an acquaintance, I won’t bully you. Leave the Demon Corpse, and you can go."

"Fang Xing, we were the ones who fought the Black Water Profound Snake first," Lin Ze chimed in. "You can leave the Demon Corpse, but you must hand over the Demon Core."

Although he could sense that Fang Xing’s Cultivation was now at the True Qi Third Layer, a huge increase from before, he himself had now entered the Middle Stage of the True Qi Realm. With Xu Yan at his side, he was completely confident.

Listening to them, Fang Xing remained impassive, his expression still without a ripple. His gaze swept over them as his voice rang out.

"On account of us being acquaintances, I’ll overlook this. You two can leave."

Fang Xing’s tone was flat.

"?!"

Hearing this, Xu Yan was stunned for a moment before it registered. He laughed in fury. "Good. Very good! Let’s see if you have the strength to back that up!"

Lin Ze’s face instantly darkened.

CLANG—!

The moment the words left his mouth, the hovering Blood-colored Sword Pill shot out as fast as lightning, erupting in a flash of blood-red light.

CLANG!!!

But in that instant, Fang Xing raised his hand and blocked the ferocious strike with his bare flesh.

A layer of purple Scale Armor covered his body.

A heaven-shaking Divine Power erupted, and he crushed the Blood-colored Sword Pill with his bare hand.

"What?!"

Seeing this, Xu Yan’s pupils shrank.

That was a Secret Treasure forged with a Secret Technique, making it incomparably hard! How could someone block it with their physical body, let alone shatter it?

’Dammit, what kind of Horizontal Refining Divine Skill is he cultivating? It’s so powerful!’ Lin Ze’s heart pounded as a powerful sense of dread washed over him.

’He shattered even Senior Brother Xu’s Secret Treasure with his bare hands.’

’This guy’s strength has increased countless times since we last met.’

Fang Xing stared at the young man before him, his cold eyes as sharp as a blade.

"I gave you an out and you spat on it. Did you really think you were someone special?" a cold voice rang out in the woods.

ROAR—!

As soon as he finished speaking, a Dragon’s Roar echoed, and a golden dragon’s phantom charged forth.

A tangible draconic phantom shot out.

An intense pressure swept over them, and the very air seemed to compress.

Xu Yan’s expression changed drastically.

With a flash of dark light, a black shield materialized out of thin air.

BOOM—!!

The dragon phantom collided with it. The black shield trembled as a vast Divine Power assaulted it.

STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!

Xu Yan was forced back several steps before he could stop, his eyes filled with horror. The vital energy and blood in his body churned, but he managed to suppress it by force.

His face was flushed red.

A faint crack appeared on the black shield Magical Treasure.

BANG!!!

Before he could even catch his breath, Fang Xing closed the distance in an instant. His fist, glowing with golden light, struck the shield like a dragon.

CRACK—!

The black shield Magical Treasure suddenly shattered.

PFFT—!

Xu Yan’s figure shot backward. The churning vital energy he had barely managed to suppress surged uncontrollably, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was thrown back more than a hundred feet.

His arm was numb.

"Lord Fang, stop!" At this moment, Lin Ze finally spoke out.

Fang Xing looked at Lin Ze, his gaze as cold as ice.

That single glance sent a chill through Lin Ze’s heart.

He saw Killing Intent in Fang Xing’s eyes and had no doubt that Fang Xing was considering killing them.

"Lord Fang, we don’t want the Demon Corpse anymore. This was all a misunderstanding."

Lin Ze forced down the panic in his heart and quickly spoke.

Fang Xing glanced at him, then at the blood-spitting Xu Yan. With a flicker, his figure vanished into the forest.
