The vast flow of Dan Qi surged toward Fang Chen's body. Every meridian and every bone trembled violently under the impact of the Dan Qi. If it weren't for the Hundred Forging Pill he had taken, Fang Chen would have likely exploded from within long ago. Yet even so, he was still in immense pain, as if every bone in his body was being crushed inch by inch, a wave of agony that threatened to devour his consciousness.
Fang Chen tightly pressed his lips together; although blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, his dark eyes remained clear. This intense pain could easily shatter the minds of ordinary warriors, but for him, who had lived two lives, it was still within bearable limits.
Inside him, a mass of milky white Vital Energy spun like a vortex, pulling in strands of Frenzy Dan Qi from the surroundings. The blue Dan Qi quickly quieted down after entering the vortex formed by the Vital Energy and began to converge under its pull, gradually taking on the shape of a pill. A powerful aura far beyond the Qi Boundary gradually awakened within Fang Chen.
Outside Fengyan City, someone gazed toward the direction of Fang Residence.
"It's time," Yuanling said with a cold smile while dressed in black robes. He stepped forward, walking slowly yet purposefully toward Fengyan City.
Behind Yuanling followed Fang Ziyao with a cold expression and Fang Nansiao wearing a sinister grin. A wave of suppressed killing intent that had been building for two days surged forth, causing Hong Zheng and others nearby to glance over involuntarily.
"These guys from Cloud Dust Sect seem to hate Fang Chen to the core," Hong Tao whispered. "Even if we don't take action today, the Fang Family will likely face extermination."
"No, we must act; how else can we obtain the Purple Sun Token?" Hong Zheng replied as he scanned Yuanling and the others' retreating figures with a sneer. "Let them handle the extermination of the Fang Family; the wrath of Ziyang Sect is not something our Black Water Sect should bear."
The Purple Sun Token was a treasure, but the potential wrath from Ziyang Sect following the annihilation of the Fang Family was something neither Yuanling nor Hong Zheng wanted to face. However, after two days of suppression, it seemed that Yuanling and his group were too consumed by their killing intent to care about the Purple Sun Token or Ziyang Sect's deterrence.
After all, while Ziyang Sect was powerful, it remained shrouded in mystery. As for the Purple Sun Token, it primarily represented an opportunity to enter Ziyang Sect; its protective capabilities had rarely been utilized. Therefore, whether exterminating a family holding a Purple Sun Token would truly provoke Ziyang Sect's pursuit remained uncertain.
Uncertainty represented unpredictability; without direct terrifying deterrence, this was why Yuanling and Hong Zheng dared to take risks.
Surrounding Fang Residence, footsteps suddenly echoed through the empty streets as figures radiating chilling killing intent approached. The temperature around seemed to drop significantly under this oppressive aura.
Before they arrived, an unsettling pressure enveloped the entire Fang Residence.
"They're here," Fang Zheng Tian murmured. He then turned to look at Fang Chen beside him, whose eyes were tightly shut and whose Frenzy aura fluctuated erratically; concern etched on his face.
"It should have worked," Fang Qingshan said. At this moment, he appeared pale; all his Dan Qi had been exhausted and entered Fang Chen's body. Watching Fang Chen with closed eyes showing no signs of awakening made Fang Qingshan furrow his brows and think to himself, "Why isn't he waking up yet?"
"I will go buy some time for Cheng'er." Fang Zheng Tian stood up and was about to walk out of Fang Residence. His calm words carried an undeniable determination.
"Father!" Fang Qingshan trembled, tears welling in his tiger-like eyes. How could he not understand what Fang Zheng Tian meant by buying time? Facing three opponents of the same realm alone, how long could he hold on? This was no longer a fight for survival; it was akin to seeking death!
"Take good care of Cheng'er." Fang Zheng Tian did not look back, simply saying this as he strode out of Fang Residence.
At that moment, swish!
Two beams of cold light, like sword flashes, suddenly rose from within Fang Residence. Sensing the powerful aura coming from behind him, Fang Zheng Tian's body shook, and he turned around.
In his line of sight, the boy who had been with his eyes tightly closed was now awake, his deep eyes resembling a starry sky staring directly at him. Seeing this scene, a smile finally appeared on Fang Zheng Tian's aged face: "Cheng'er."
"Grandfather, Father." Fang Chen looked at Fang Qingshan and Fang Zheng Tian, a gentle smile appearing on his handsome face: "Leave it to me."
There was no grand declaration, but those gentle words conveyed an immense sense of trust, as if everything should unfold just as he said.
This was a momentum, an extremely restrained yet powerful presence!
Fang Zheng Tian's pupils slightly contracted; he no longer hesitated. He laughed heartily and said, "Good, Grandfather will support you!"
"Father, you should rest for a moment while Cheng'er takes care of them all." Fang Chen said.
With that, he turned around and looked outside Fang Residence. The gentle smile on his face suddenly transformed into a chilling expression.
"Even with just a moment's time in the Alchemy Realm, it is enough to eliminate all of you." Fang Chen murmured to himself. Having temporarily reached the Alchemy Realm level thanks to Fang Qingshan's Dan Qi, he naturally could not maintain this state for long.
Feeling the power within him gradually ebbing away, Fang Chen moved swiftly and quickly dashed toward the outside of Fang Residence.
As they were only a few steps away from the Fang Residence, Yuanling suddenly felt a tremor in his heart and paused: "That aura just now..."
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?" Qin Ye asked, confused as he watched Yuanling stop abruptly.
"It's nothing, let's go." After a moment of contemplation, Yuanling shook his head. He wasn't sure if it was an illusion or something else, but he had just sensed an oppressive aura that seemed to emanate from within the Fang Residence!
"It must be an illusion; how could such a powerful presence exist in the Fang Residence?" Yuanling thought to himself. The feeling he experienced was undoubtedly from an extremely powerful being, at least someone at the later stages of the Alchemy Realm. There was no way such a strong individual could be present in the Fang Residence. Moreover, the aura had appeared so suddenly that when he tried to investigate further, it vanished into thin air, almost like a mirage.
"Senior Brother, please let me handle Fang Chen later." Fang Ziyao, who had been quietly following behind Yuanling, suddenly spoke up. As she did, a chilling aura radiated from her.
Initially filled with confidence and arrogance, she had intended to force Fang Chen to take his own life with just a few words. However, the sudden turn of events felt like a massive slap that left her stunned. Being captured and witnessing her father's tragic death made it even harder for Fang Ziyao to accept this reality, despite her previously smooth sailing within the Cloud Dust Sect.
Two days of intense suppression had turned Fang Ziyao's already frosty demeanor into something even colder. While her previous coldness stemmed from pride and aloofness, now it reflected a twisted state of mind.
"Rest assured, Junior Sister Ziyao. I will definitely capture Fang Chen and hand him over to you personally," Yuanling said confidently. Fang Chen had long been on his kill list for repeatedly threatening him and damaging his reputation. Now that there were no more concerns holding him back, Yuanling was determined not to let Fang Chen escape.
"Hong Zheng, Hong Tao. When the father and son of the Fang Family come out later, you two must not stand by idly. If they manage to escape, it would truly be a case of losing more than you gain," Yuanling said with a smile to the two brothers.
The father and son of the Fang Family he referred to were naturally Fang Qingshan and Fang Zheng Tian; as for Fang Chen, he didn't even consider him worthy of attention. Although Fang Chen's combat power was impressive for someone at the Body Refinement Realm, he still didn't reach the level of the Alchemy Realm in Yuanling's eyes and was no more significant than an ant—easily extinguished.
"Of course," Hong Zheng laughed in response, though one could faintly see him twitching at the corners of his mouth. Yuanling's words had undoubtedly shattered their original plan to watch from the sidelines until the final outcome was decided.
Since Yuanling had exposed their intentions, Hong Zheng decided to be straightforward. After surrounding the Fang Residence with members of the Black Water Sect, he walked over with Hong Tao towards Yuanling and the others. The three of them were indeed the true force behind this extermination of the Fang Family.
"Let's all strike together and blast through this Fang Residence," Hong Zheng suggested as he looked at the tightly closed gates.
"Agreed," Yuanling nodded.
Although they had an absolute advantage in top-tier combat power, it never hurt to be cautious. Moreover, after what happened two days ago with Fang Chen, they still felt a lingering shadow in their hearts. Blasting through the Fang Residence was also a form of venting.
Just as the three were about to make their move, the two tightly shut bronze doors slowly creaked open. A tall and straight figure stepped out from the Fang Residence, calmly walking towards them.
Upon seeing this figure, everyone was momentarily stunned. The first reaction did not come from Yuanling and her two companions at the front, but rather from Fang Ziyao behind them!
“Fang Chen!” she shouted sharply, her face filled with resentment.
“Has the Fang Family gone mad? They actually sent you out to seek death,” Hong Zheng mocked. As he spoke, a flicker of light shone in his eyes as he contemplated whether to take action. After all, Fang Chen's reckless threats against Hong Dali and his group had greatly infuriated them.
“Hm?” At that moment, Hong Zheng's expression changed, his eyes fixed on Fang Chen with disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. Not only him, but Yuanling and Hong Tao beside him wore similar expressions.
What did they see?
Fang Chen, who was still at the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm two days ago, had actually reached the Alchemy Realm!
How was this possible?!
Seeing the horrified expressions on Hong Zheng and his companions, Fang Chen smiled lightly, revealing a row of brilliant teeth, and said, “You can all come at me together.”
