Chapter 474 - 214: Kill

Chapter 474: Chapter 214: Kill

The creature’s strength was astounding.

But it was still clearly weaker than Qin Fang.

With his current Physique, augmented by Celestial River Reversal, Qin Fang could unleash a truly titanic force!

...And yet, with such strength, he had only managed to fight this ten-foot-tall Returning Ruins Flesh Puppet to a standstill!

BOOM! A deafening crash sent shockwaves blasting in all directions. As the ground shattered, specks of frost bloomed and began to spread.

Qin Fang felt four layers of his Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor shatter from that single blow!

...It was a testament to the Returning Ruins Flesh Puppet’s terrifying attack power.

Its raw strength was likely even greater than Qin Fang’s.

As they both pulled their fists back, Qin Fang saw Ice Crystals forming on the creature’s knuckles and spreading... His Profound Nether True Essence had successfully penetrated its body!

But the monster was truly fearsome. It seemed to have no rationality to speak of, let alone fear. With a furious roar, it charged again.

With a flicker of Mirror Flower Water Moon, Qin Fang appeared behind it. There, dozens of Cultists were laughing fanatically and praying with fervent piety.

Qin Fang stomped his foot, sending his True Essence surging outward.

In an instant, his Profound Nether True Essence froze the Cultists solid.

Then, he sent a shockwave through the ground with his foot.

’The control of physical force is the very domain of a Huajin Grandmaster!’

As a master of force control, Qin Fang easily channeled that power through the ground and into the bodies of the Cultists. BANG BANG BANG...

In an instant, the few frozen Cultists shattered into grotesque sculptures of blood and ice.

Just then, the sound of a fist cutting through the air hissed past his ear. Qin Fang tilted his head and flickered aside, effortlessly dodging the blow. He countered with a punch of his own, slamming it into the creature’s waist.

BAM!!!

His Profound Nether True Essence flared, and the terrifying force sent the creature flying.

Then, Profound Ice began to erupt from its waist, spreading rapidly!

The monster shrieked, twisting its body in an attempt to shatter the ice encasing its waist.

But this was no ordinary ice, formed by the cold air. This was the Profound Nether Nature within Qin Fang’s True Essence, spreading and growing of its own accord!

...Back then, Zhao Yuanling, a master of the True Essence Third Realm, had been frozen by Qin Fang for a mere instant. Even with the help of his Sect Elders and senior sister, he only managed to expel ninety-nine percent of the Profound Nether True Essence.

It took Zhao Yuanling a full month to completely purge that final, lingering trace.

So what chance did this creature have now?

Qin Fang had injected a massive amount of True Essence with that punch. The True Essence itself was the source of the cold; even if the ice was shattered, it would immediately regrow and spread.

The Returning Ruins Flesh Puppet’s movements immediately slowed to a crawl!

Qin Fang remained expressionless. Activating his Mirror Flower Water Moon, he circled the Returning Ruins Flesh Puppet, landing more than a dozen punches.

By the time he stopped, the ten-foot-tall Returning Ruins Flesh Puppet had been transformed into a sculpture of black ice.

The creature beneath the ice still struggled furiously, but its movements grew increasingly sluggish. As the Profound Ice on its body grew thicker, it finally ceased moving altogether, frozen into a massive, twenty-foot-tall block of ice that stood motionless on the battlefield...

...Just like the Erosion Puppet from that day.

Qin Fang spared it only a single glance before continuing his slaughter!

The battle had barely begun and had already reached a fever pitch.

The Cultists lived up to their name; they were utterly fearless in the face of death.

As the battle raged, more and more Cultists emerged from Jiulian Island. They wore smiles of fanatical piety, murmuring some kind of mysterious prayer.

The low voices seemed to cause a resonance, making the very heavens and earth feel as if they were humming.

The humming was vexing, even causing dizziness and disorientation.

"Flames of earthly wrath and spite, have fouled the soul of crystal light. Let fall the snow from river of stars, to cleanse this fallen mortal scar."

At that moment, Yun Guanyu’s voice suddenly rang out. In the next instant, a vast Divine Sense swept across the entire battlefield. A chorus of muffled grunts was heard as the droning prayers of several thousand Cultists were cut short.

The vexing hum vanished in an instant.

Everyone’s spirits were instantly refreshed!

Qin Fang subconsciously looked over, and his pupils contracted sharply...

Because the thousands of Cultists who had just been fanatically chanting were now all bleeding from their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths, their faces twisted in agony... Then, they all looked up at the sky with gazes full of hatred.

...Yun Guanyu was there!

Even Qin Fang couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath...

’...So this is the Spiritual Sense Leaf Skill?’

When they first arrived, it was Yun Guanyu who had broken the Soul-Catching Evil Sound that had nearly blurred everyone’s consciousness!

And now, these prayers clearly also possessed the power to disrupt one’s thoughts.

And Yun Guanyu had broken it with a single line of poetry?

’...Is this the power of the Nine Tribulations God Refining Chapter?’

’...Is this the Spiritual Sense Leaf Skill?’

Even Qin Fang was somewhat astonished.

He subconsciously glanced up at Yun Guanyu in the sky.

The man was dressed in his usual attire, a dreamy, half-awake look on his face. He seemed to be stroking his chin, pondering something...

Qin Fang: "..."

He was speechless for a moment, then looked away.

’I plan to make a river of blood flow today. This is just the beginning.’

He shot forward, but not recklessly. Up ahead, the largest Returning Ruins Flesh Puppet was still locked in a spectacular battle with Yue Shan, but it was clear that Yue Shan had the upper hand.

Qin Fang wasn’t the spearhead; he was on the flank. ’In that case,’ he thought, ’I’ll just have to wipe out all these Cultists on the flank.’

His figure flickered. The Perfection-level Mirror Flower Water Moon Body Technique made him blindingly fast.

POW!!

He slammed a fist into the head of a Cultist who, despite bleeding from every orifice, was about to resume chanting.

SPLAT!

The head burst like a watermelon.

Blood gushed forth.

To kill fanatics like these, he didn’t even need to waste True Essence; his physical strength alone was more than enough.

But after crushing a few more heads, he decided he wasn’t killing fast enough. He scooped up a handful of gravel from the ground and hurled it with all his might!

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!~~

The terrifying stones, empowered by his 750,000-jin strength, became like a volley from a Gatling gun. In an instant, they punched through the bodies of dozens of fanatics. They trembled for a moment, eyes wide, before dying where they stood.

Qin Fang didn’t stop. He grabbed another handful of rock, crushed it into smaller projectiles, and fired again!

...Watching the Cult Members turn their gazes toward him, Qin Fang was inexplicably reminded of the story of Chen Guili.

He remained expressionless.

He was no Chen Guili; he had no intention of giving these Cultists even the slightest chance to live.

...He just wanted them dead!
