Chapter 408: Chapter 174: Annihilated with a Flip of the Hand

Fang Xing asked a question.

The file he had just read contained information about Biyang County.

Cao Yunlong nodded. "Yes, Sir. I did indeed come for this Demon King."

"Then come with me. You can just take the demon’s head back to complete your mission."

Fang Xing said.

Cao Yunlong looked at him, stunned. "Sir, won’t this be too much trouble for you?"

"It’s nothing," Fang Xing said with a slight smile.

"Let’s go now." With that, Fang Xing’s Gang Qi enveloped them, and the two vanished from the outskirts in an instant.

In the span of a few breaths, the two of them arrived atop a great mountain.

Biyang Mountain!

"Just wait here." Fang Xing’s voice reached his ears. Cao Yunlong had barely snapped out of his daze when he saw Fang Xing’s figure vanish.

ROAR—!

The next instant, an enraged roar echoed all over Biyang Mountain.

BOOM—!

The cave on the mountainside blasted open, and a Cyan Lion dozens of feet in size was hurled out. It smashed into the distant ground, throwing up a towering cloud of dust.

All of Biyang Mountain trembled as if the world were ending. Half of the mountain abruptly collapsed.

"Damned human..."

"Noisy!"

With a cold snort, the Cyan Lion Demon King had just clambered to its feet when, in the next instant, a giant hand that blotted out the sky descended from above.

Void Hand Seal!

The Cyan Lion Demon King’s pupils shrank as it stared at the sky-blotting hand. Its Demonic Power surged, and with a roar, its Demon Body rapidly swelled to over a hundred feet tall. Billowing Demon Qi erupted in a flash of cyan light as it met the colossal hand head-on.

BOOM—!

With a deafening boom, all of Biyang Mountain trembled once more. A destructive shockwave obliterated everything in its path.

Two-thirds of the mountain was destroyed.

Dust and smoke shot into the sky.

The shockwaves rippled out for miles.

The massive Demon Body cracked apart, spraying Demon Blood everywhere. After a flash of cyan light, the hundred-foot-plus Cyan Lion shrank back down to only a few dozen feet in size.

It lay on the ground, completely still.

Killed with one palm strike!

A wave of golden light swept over, and the Cyan Lion’s Demon Soul was instantly absorbed and put through Refinement!

’Holy shit...’

’Is this True Gang?!’

Cao Yunlong stared blankly at the motionless Cyan Lion Demon King.

All he saw was Fang Xing launch that sky-blotting hand. By the time he could process it, the Cyan Lion Demon King was already dead.

It died so cleanly!

A magnificent Top Level Demon King, killed with a single palm strike just like that.

An instant kill!

Last time at Beiyuan Pass, Fang Xing had to fight a Top Level Demon King with all his might to kill it.

But now, he killed it in a single blow!

’This... This is his strength now!’

’With this kind of strength, I’m afraid he doesn’t fear True Essence Grandmasters anymore.’

Cao Yunlong stared blankly at the motionless Cyan Lion Demon King for a long moment before he finally came to his senses.

An instant kill with a wave of his hand.

’In other words, if Fang Xing decided to attack me, it would only take one slap!’

’A single slap could kill me!’

’We’re both at True Gang Perfection, but compared to Fang Xing, my own attainment feels like a goddamn fake.’

Forget a one-hit kill—he’d have considered himself lucky to have a sixty percent chance of victory even in an all-out battle.

’And I was planning to discuss the details and strategize with him.’

’It seems I was too naive.’

’In the face of power like that, what’s the point of a discussion...?’

SWISH—!

A golden Flame Divine Sword materialized, and with a single swing, Fang Xing cut off the Cyan Lion Demon King’s head. His Gang Qi surged, and he directly collected the remaining corpse.

’I helped him out. It’s only reasonable I get a little something for my troubles, right?’

SWOOSH—!

Stepping into the air, Fang Xing instantly appeared in front of Cao Yunlong.

THUD!

The huge cyan lion head was thrown in front of Cao Yunlong. Looking at the Top Level Demon King’s head before him, Cao Yunlong’s eyelid twitched.

"Take this head back and report your success." Fang Xing’s voice sounded beside his ear.

Cao Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and immediately put away the Demon King’s head.

’An effortless win!’

’The mission is complete, and I didn’t have to lift a finger.’

’And it’s worth over a million Merit points.’

"Thank you, Sir, for your help."

Cao Yunlong clasped his hands and bowed, his tone filled with respect.

Having witnessed Fang Xing’s power firsthand, he knew he had never encountered such monstrous strength before.

’A True Gang Martial Artist who can rival a Grandmaster.’

’I doubt even Hong Miaojin, hailed as the Observatory’s number one genius, was this monstrous in her time.’

’The progress of a Demon Fiend is truly unimaginable!’

’He’s probably not far from becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster.’

"It’s no trouble. I’ll be on my way. Be careful," Fang Xing said, then vanished from Cao Yunlong’s sight.

"Farewell, Sir!"

Cao Yunlong bowed low in the direction Fang Xing had vanished. Lifting his head, he gazed at the nearly obliterated Biyang Mountain, the turmoil in his heart still raging.

’His Gang Qi... it must be at the Perfection Level, right?’ Cao Yunlong’s heart clenched as he sensed the residual Gang Qi in the air.

’To possess such monstrous strength, the purity of his Power must be exceptionally high.’

’Even if it’s not Perfection Level Gang Qi, it has to be at least Ninth Grade Gang Qi.’

’My own Gang Qi is only at the Sixth Grade.’

’It’s only a difference of a few grades, but even a single step apart feels like the distance between heaven and earth.’

’Improving one’s Gang Qi by a single grade is not as easy as it sounds.’

’I only managed to refine my Gang Qi to the Sixth Grade because of a fortunate opportunity I once had.’

’To this day, I still haven’t reached the purity of the Seventh Grade.’

’Ninth Grade, let alone the Perfection Level... I can’t even begin to imagine it.’

’When will I ever be that powerful...?’

’I’ll probably never catch up in terms of Gang Qi quality. My only hope is to break through and become a Martial Arts Grandmaster.’

Gazing into the distance, his eyes flickered.

’Forget it. There’s no comparing myself to a Demon Fiend like him. I should just stay level-headed.’

Having calmed himself, Cao Yunlong quelled the distracting thoughts in his mind. With a flicker of movement, he vanished.
