The next day.
Yue Fandie and Chu Xun arrived at the Tetrarchy Hall.
They got ready to activate the Tetrarchy Cauldron and refine pills.
Yue Fandie had issued an undefinable order, barring anyone from approaching the Tetrarchy Hall.
"Brother, nothing's going to happen, right?" He was still worried as the Tetrarchy Cauldron was the only object suppressing the Subterranean Devils Clan.
Chu Xun chuckled. "Just relax!"
He then started laying down a magic formation.
He had prepared all the materials needed for the pill refinement last night.
Rumble!
The magic formation was complete. As Chu Xun performed hand seals, a surging light curtain began to envelop the entire hall.
He stepped forward and approached the Tetrarchy Cauldron while performing seals with one hand. Immortal Qi gathered around him until a brilliant purple flame appeared in his palm, bringing wit
Chu Xun took out a Level-improving Pill."Brother, give this a try.""Um..." Yue Fandie was somewhat too embarrassed to take it."What's with your reaction? If it wasn't for the Tetrarchy Cauldron, this pill wouldn't exist." Chu Xun stuffed the pill in Yue Fandie's hand.The pills were such high-quality Third Grade items that they were nearly Fourth Grade. What a welcome surprise!In the end, Yue Fandie couldn't resist the temptation and ate the Level-improving Pill. He then sat down and started digesting the pill.Chu Xun's heart warmed. Yue Fandie's action indicated a high level of trust in him. Warriors tended to be at their weakest when they were breaking into another realm; if they were disturbed, they could easily suffer Qi deviation.Boom!The spiritual energy around them began to erupt, surging forward like a tide until it was absorbed by Yue Fandie through his pores.
A few days later, a post that appeared on the Martial Tao Forum sent shockwaves throughout the community.“Chu the Devil was defeated in his battle with the Lord of the Sanctuary of Tetrachy and fled with injuries!”The news spread like wildfire not only on the forum, but the entire Martial Tao World as well."Have you heard? Chu the Devil was defeated in his battle against Yue Fandie, the Lord of the Sanctuary of Tetrachy, and had to flee with injuries.""Chu the Devil surely doesn't know when to stop. I can't believe he even dared to provoke the Sanctuary's Lord! He must have had a death wish.""Hear, hear! I heard their battle was ferocious! But, Chu the Devil was injured by the Lord's palm attack and had to run away in defeat. The Sanctuary's disciples are now blocking the road to other cities to hunt down Chu the Devil.""One of my friends is from the Sanctuary. He said that Chu Xun boldly provoked th
For two hours the hooded man stayed at the Sanctuary before his departure, and no one knew what happened inside.For the next few days, more hooded men appeared in clusters and were seen entering the lands of the Sanctuary where they retreated out of sight.People began keeping a wary eye out.Yet, Chu Xun was nowhere to be seen as if he had vanished into thin air."Who would have expected that the Sanctuary would conspire with the Broken Souls Cult to slay Chu the Devil.""This is a bad move. The Broken Souls Cult is the worst possible partner to get close to now, of all times, and the name of the Sanctuary shall forever be stained with the filth of treachery from henceforth.""The Devil might have been a cruel person, but he has never been known to lay a hand on anyone innocent. I suppose by colluding with the Cult, the Sanctuary has taken their first step down the spiral of utter ruin."Mor
Chu Xun groaned with exasperation. For his age, Yue Fandie nevertheless retained his penchant for fun and thrill that hardly befit his maturity.Towering gleefully over Li Kun, Yue Fandie demanded, "Do you surrender?"Li Kun writhed his mangled body, his eyes flaring with anger, pain, and grudge as he sneered mockingly. "Such deceit. Hardly a fitting display of one with your stature, Lord of the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy."Yue Fandie turned irate and spat, "All warfare is based on deception, fool. We set the bait to lure you in, then we had you thinking you were the one setting the trap. So all that's left to do is only springing the trap to catch the mackerel—you.""Yue Fandie," Li Kun croaked hoarsely, his face contorted horribly, "You honestly believe you're the smartest person in the world, do you?!"A strange foreboding premonition crept into Chu Xun. His hand raised instantly and he fired a blast that slammed into L
Zhang Jin'gang, Chief of the Prelature of Buddhas and a Seventh-grade Human King specializing in Hard Cross Techniques and had never once been defeated by anyone similar to or lower than his grade.Yet, on this day, he was defeated. In spite of his might and prowess, he was ignominiously defeated by Chu Xun.The surrealistic sensation that accompanied the sight of his drubbing made everyone's—Li Kun and his allies—heart raced and pounded feverishly with fear.Still, they managed to remain stoic enough to refrain from turning around and flee like beaten dogs. Part of Zhang Jin'gang's downfall was his own undoing; his pride and hubris had got in the way before he could unleash his full strength on his foe."Quaint, Chu Xun. Very quaint indeed," Li Kun muttered with feigned admiration.But there was no denying how unbelievably incredible was Chu Xun's physical toughness."Would you like a go too?" asked the D
The dragons of fire zoomed up to the sky, swiping their claws at the air as they gained height expeditiously, their flames lighting up the sky like fire and brimstone.The fierce light illuminated the horrified looks on the imposters, their faces burnished with a scarlet sheen that only accentuated their fears.Flicking a finger, Chu Xun shot a little spurt of purple ray at the only enemy still uninjured: the imposter Long Feiyang.It functioned as a homing beacon; several hundred dragons wheeled back down and swooped down to attack the imposter.With horror flooding the imposter's eyes, he flailed his arms, firing a ceaseless barrage of Internal Breath shafts at each dragon that drew near, destroying them as quickly as he could.For minutes, he fired and fired blasts of Internal Breath, defeating one dragon of fire after another, his forehead now strewn with sweat and his power slowly dwindling.From afar
The ominous croaking of birds and cries of ferocious beasts echoed against the backdrop of a dimly-lit sky.A group of ten was rushing toward Dongling City."Make haste, guys! We're reaching the city soon!" Chen Quan urged.The Tianlong Fort had accumulated a hefty fortune over its centuries-long history, and a quarter of that wealth was with him now. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes.The Fort's fortune consisted of not only money but spiritual herbs, exotic flowers, and peculiar fruits as well. These objects were far more precious than mere money."Damn that Chu the Devil for forcing us to abandon our century-old homeland!" one of them cursed."If Chu the Devil ever falls to my hands one day, I swear I'll make him experience all the torment in the world.""Old Ding, you left in such hurry. What happened to the lover you were looking for?"A dangerous glint flashed in the e
Chen Quan was horrified. The black-robed man who had injured him was so powerful that he was no match for him at all, never mind the rest of his group. The group didn't have any strength to fight back at all and could only suffer death."Broken Souls Gate! Heaven will curse you for treating your allies this way!" he howled in grief."Humph! Even if there's karma, you won't be alive to see it." The black-robed man scoffed and killed Chen Quan with a single punch. He then snatched away Chen Quan's Storage Ring.The black-robed man walked over and pointed at Wu Ming's deceased body.After a while, Wu Ming gradually moved and opened his eyes.He felt so dizzy that it took him a long time to remember what had happened. He turned his head and saw that his companions had all died."You're up," said a hoarse voice.Wu Ming was startled to see the two black-robed men still standing there. He felt the s
