Chapter 415 - 252: Subdue
Suddenly, Fang Yue raised an eyebrow and opened his eyes.
He sensed a faint fluctuation of Qi coming from the other side of the isolated island.
At first, the Qi was faint and elusive. But in an instant, it was like a Flame fanned by a gale, rapidly swelling and strengthening, growing ever more wild and violent.
A chill ran down Fang Yue’s spine. He immediately realized something unusual was happening.
He shot to his feet, his gaze burning, and stared in the direction the Qi was coming from.
The next moment, a furious roar, like a clap of thunder, shook the entire island.
A Cyan Cloud Deer trod across the water toward him. It was lithe and graceful, its hooves touching the surface without making a single splash, as if it were gliding through the air.
Its eyes glinted with a mystical light, and it emanated a powerful and mysterious aura.
Fang Yue fixed his gaze on it, a ripple of shock passing through him.
He had never seen such a mystical creature; the Cyan Cloud Deer’s appearance was entirely beyond his comprehension.
He knew this Cloud Deer was no ordinary creature—it had to be a Demon Beast.
The next instant, the Cloud Deer charged straight for Fang Yue.
Its mystical, glowing eyes locked onto Fang Yue, as if trying to peer into his very soul.
Fang Yue could clearly feel the powerful pressure emanating from the Cloud Deer, a might no less than that of an Innate Grandmaster.
Then, the Cloud Deer charged, intending to ram straight into him.
It was so fast that it was almost impossible to react. Fang Yue’s pupils contracted, yet he neither dodged nor retreated.
Instead, a powerful energy began to gather in his palm, rumbling like a gathering storm.
The surrounding air seemed drawn to this energy, forming tiny whirlwinds that spiraled around him.
His robes whipped about and his hair streamed behind him, making him look like an Immortal about to unleash a Divine Power.
BOOM!
In the instant before the Cyan Cloud Deer could strike him, the energy in his palm erupted.
A brilliant light burst from his palm, forming a massive wall of wind and thunder to meet the Cyan Cloud Deer’s charge.
The Cyan Cloud Deer showed no signs of weakness. Its aura grew even more powerful, and the mystical light in its eyes shone with greater brilliance.
A faint cyan glow emanated from its antlers, as if two beams of divine light shot forth to collide violently with the wall of wind and thunder.
RUMBLE!
The two immense forces collided in mid-air, unleashing a deafening explosion. The entire island seemed to tremble from the impact.
Fang Yue felt a powerful shockwave wash over him, forcing him back several steps.
But he quickly regained his footing, his gaze sharp and fixed on the Cyan Cloud Deer.
The Cyan Cloud Deer was also knocked back several steps, but it quickly found its footing and charged at Fang Yue once more.
This time, it was faster, its aura more powerful.
’This Cyan Cloud Deer’s strength is extraordinary,’ Fang Yue thought.
’Good thing I just advanced. My power has gone through an earth-shattering transformation, or else taking down this Demon Deer would be a real problem.’
Fang Yue didn’t back down. He took a deep breath, and the newfound power from his advancement surged through him like a tidal wave.
"Come on!" Fang Yue growled, taking the initiative and charging toward the Cyan Cloud Deer.
Each of his steps seemed to land on air, light yet firm. Just as he was about to clash with the Cyan Cloud Deer, he suddenly sidestepped, deftly circling behind it.
Immediately after, Fang Yue thrust out his palm. Lightning flickered in its center as he slammed it into the Cyan Cloud Deer’s back with the force of a thunderstorm.
BOOM!
With another thunderous crash, the Cyan Cloud Deer staggered from Fang Yue’s surprise attack, its entire body lurching forward.
But it didn’t fall. It quickly righted itself and spun around to face Fang Yue again. This time, its eyes blazed with an even more savage light, as if it wanted to devour him whole.
Fang Yue, however, was completely unafraid. He gave a slight smile, and his figure flickered, vanishing from the spot in a blur of motion.
When he reappeared, he was hovering above the Cyan Cloud Deer’s head. His hands formed a Sealing Technique, and the immense power within him erupted, transforming into a brilliant pillar of light that slammed down on the creature’s head.
SCREECH!
The Cyan Cloud Deer let out a piercing shriek, its body trembling violently from the blow. Its eyes filled with terror and disbelief, as if it couldn’t accept that it was being defeated by a mere human.
Fang Yue gave it no quarter. With a flash, his figure vanished once more.
He reappeared in front of the Cyan Cloud Deer and, with a single palm strike, sent it flying.
The Cyan Cloud Deer’s body sailed through the air in a long arc before crashing heavily to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.
Fang Yue slowly withdrew his hand, his gaze calm as he looked at the fallen Cyan Cloud Deer.
He knew this Demon Beast had completely lost its ability to fight and could no longer pose a threat to him.
He walked over to the Cyan Cloud Deer, crouching down to examine the mysterious Demon Beast up close.
Fang Yue intended to tame this Demon Deer!
’After all, at my current level of cultivation, returning to the mainland won’t be easy.’
’I know those people from the Shui Long Bang escaped by boat.’
’I just didn’t have time to deal with them then. Now, getting off this island is going to take some effort.’
