Chapter 115 Return to 1
When
There were no clouds in the mountains; the weather should have been sunny.
But at this moment, the leaden clouds that suddenly gathered pushed the warm sun behind them. The continuous drizzle fell gently, and the wisps of mist that lingered on the mountainside were slowly dispersed.
Looking into the distance, a light drizzle falls, and the river murmurs. The rain washes the mountains, boulders, river, and houses in a uniform hue, creating a truly picturesque landscape.
However, right in the center of the black bone, flames shot into the sky, hissing as the drizzle poured over them. The flames then engulfed all the surrounding wood, adding a touch of ferocity to the already intense atmosphere.
"boom!"
A sudden clap of thunder struck, scattering debris all around Fang Hongxuan.
None of the believers surrounding Fang Hongxuan dared to confront him; they simply stood by... But if Fang Hongxuan made any move, these self-aware believers would scatter like birds and beasts.
Fang Hongxuan, with a cold expression, ignored everything and walked towards Li Yang's location with his knife in hand, pondering to himself as he went.
"Could this Heart-Eating Demon also be a reincarnated being...? Could it be that he orchestrated my reincarnation as well...?"
Following the half-collapsed corridor, they soon arrived at Li Yang's bedside.
'Buzz...'
A flash of sword light, accompanied by a strong wind, appeared, and the antique sandalwood door collapsed with a crash.
"Those who wish to commit suicide, may remain..."
The believers, already demoralized, could hardly withstand such intimidation. They had surrounded him earlier only to avoid being blamed by Li Chengxiang when he woke up. Now that Fang Hongxuan had uttered such harsh words, they naturally had no intention of staying and engaging him in battle.
The two children on the small wooden bed had vanished without a trace, leaving only Li Yang, fast asleep on the bed. Her eyes were tightly closed, yet the veins all over her body were bulging, the bulging lines resembling struggling green snakes!
As a living corpse, Fang Hongxuan was already very familiar with the practice of absorbing essence and blood. All it took was for the two to come into contact, and by stimulating his own desire, he could extract the essence and blood of his target out of thin air. With more experience, Fang Hongxuan discovered that it wasn't just essence and blood; he could absorb any energy possessed by his opponent. The only difference was whether he himself could absorb it.
Fang Hongxuan covered Li Yang's face with his palm, and immediately a surge of Yin energy overflowed from Li Yang's seven orifices, eventually drifting into Fang Hongxuan's palm.
As the yin energy surged, his body, which had been almost withered into a corpse, gradually regained its rosy color.
"The malevolent energy seems to have become even purer... This is not a good sign..."
The Goddess of Fertility in the mirror was staring maliciously at Fang Hongxuan, but Fang Hongxuan simply waved his hand, indicating that he would keep to himself and not interfere with her.
Boom!
Two bolts of lightning struck Zhang Desheng in succession at the entrance to the dark chamber and on the altar. Li Chengxiang at the entrance was instantly reduced to charred remains. The believers who witnessed the patriarch's demise cried out in shock. For them, their greatest pillar had fallen, and there was no longer any reason for this place to remain. In just a quarter of an hour, the noisy crowd vanished from every corner.
However, Zhang Desheng on the altar suddenly awoke, the dazed look in his eyes vanished, replaced by endless depth and darkness.
Looking at his newly grown left arm, he moved around for a moment before unlocking the chains and walking outside.
"The shortcomings of the Split-Body Technique are still obvious; the two remnant souls after the split have significant flaws. The former is arrogant and conceited, while the latter is sometimes lucid and sometimes idiotic... This is definitely not a simplified version of the three-person team of the Heart-Eating Demon... He still has some secrets that he hasn't told me..."
Zhang Desheng stood atop the ruins, his face gloomy. He gazed at the northwest where Li Yang and Fang Hongxuan were, and after a moment of silence, he grinned.
"Since half the plan has failed, then we'll take it all! My things aren't so easy to take..."
After completely merging with the unified whole, Zhang Desheng seemed to have become a different person. He was profound and reserved, extremely arrogant and conceited, and looked down on everything.
He made elaborate hand gestures and murmured inexplicable incantations.
Fang Hongxuan, who was diligently absorbing Yin energy, felt an endless threat descending upon him. He forcibly suppressed the urge to draw his sword and retreated outside the room in a series of quick movements.
"boom!"
Li Yang, whose face was contorted in a ferocious expression, suddenly exploded on the bed, his cold flesh and blood splattering all over the ground. From the pile of his corpse, the divine consciousness of the Goddess of Fertility emerged. He was like a chick in a cage, completely controlled by Zhang Desheng.
Amidst the ruins and collapsed corridors, the two men locked eyes; the former was wild and unrestrained, while the latter was extremely solemn.
"This person...is extremely dangerous...I am no match for him..."
The goddess who was as tall as a person was kneaded into a pill by Zhang Desheng, who had returned to oneness. As Zhang Desheng changed his hand seals again, all the people of Wugu Town stared blankly at the sky, and thick yin energy emanated from their seven orifices.
Countless streams of yin energy converged from all directions into the dark blue-green pill. In mere moments, the people, deprived of their yin energy, were reduced to skeletal corpses, which, with a gust of cold wind, crumbled into dust. The once vast town of Wugu was instantly transformed into a desolate, ghostly realm...
Zhang Desheng swallowed the pill in his hand with great satisfaction. His slightly weak aura instantly solidified, and an indescribable pressure rolled down on Fang Hongxuan.
Sensing the rapid changes within Wugu Town, Fang Hongxuan's expression subtly shifted.
"To condense this pill, they actually slaughtered everyone in the entire town... No wonder Venerable Daoyuan called them extraterrestrial demons for such an act..."
"I'll give you one last chance... If you remain stubborn, then you'll become my nourishment."
Zhang Desheng stared coldly at Fang Hongxuan, his increasingly agitated expression revealing that he didn't have much patience left for Fang Hongxuan to wear him down...
"What level has he reached now...? If I were to exhaust all my energy, could I even last a few rounds against him?"
Although Fang Hongxuan didn't consider himself a good person, he would never sacrifice thousands of people for his own selfish reasons.
Therefore, the two can only be people who do not share the same path and cannot work together.
Thinking of this, Fang Hongxuan did not answer, but the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even more fiercely.
"hehe..."
Tap...tap...
The slow, rhythmic sound of horses' hooves reached their ears.
Dao Yuan, riding a horse, appeared at the edge of the ruins. He first looked at Fang Hongxuan, who was sweating profusely but still unyielding, and then looked at Zhang Desheng, who was arrogant and domineering and was about to kill Fang Hongxuan. He scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
Before Dao Yuan could speak, Zhang Desheng, who had been so arrogant just moments before, suddenly narrowed his eyes. He abruptly retreated, disappearing into the alleyway in just a few steps.
"What a joke! A reincarnation of a Hutuktu from the Secret Realm!"
"He actually dared to come to Wansheng Dynasty, he is truly audacious!"
I am no match for this man, so it would be best to retreat and observe for now... As for the debt owed by that Demon-Slaying Captain, I will definitely collect it..."
