    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    “Friend, please wait.” From the deste beast qi grand lion, Qi Zai’s voice came over.


    Fang Yuan stopped and gazed back.


    After he was far away from Rotten Mud Mountain, he had dispelled the immortal killer move familiar


    face.


    Rank eight Immortal Gu attitude Gu consumed mental energy, if it were maintained for a long time, it


    would wear out Fang Yuan’s mind.


    Moreover, because Fang Yuan’s modified familiar facecked change form Immortal Gu, it led to an


    increase in the quantity of the Gu worms, with over a thousand supplementary mortal Gu, and it also


    required more time and concentration to activate these Gu worms.


    So when Qi Zai saw Fang Yuan from afar, he did not feel he was the culprit, he only had some doubts


    at most.


    As they got closer, Qi He also saw Fang Yuan.


    Fang Yuan wore a white robe and looked like he was not marred by a speck of dust, his skin was white


    like snow and his eyes twinkled like stars, with long dark hair that reached down to his waist.


    Even though Qi He was already old, over fifty years old, when she saw Fang Yuan, her eyes


    brightened and she thought: “This Gu Immortal senior has such a refined and graceful bearing, and


    sagely demeanor, I have rarely seen anything like it before in my life!”


    “Senior, why did you call me?” Fang Yuan’s expression was tranquil as he asked this with his fists


    cupped in front of him.


    He did not use familiar face and his rank six cultivation level was clearly disyed.


    While Qi Zai was emitting rank seven aura.


    In this world, the strong were respected, Fang Yuan’s greeting was natural and graceful. If he had his


    hands behind his back and showed an arrogant attitude, that would be unusual behavior.


    Qi Zai also inwardly praised Fang Yuan’s conduct, his expression softening slightly as he said: “It is


    only to verify some things.”


    He then shook his sleeve, from where a mud ball shot out.


    The mud ball started expanding and soon turned into the size of an elephant. After another


    transformation, it turned into the shape of Ni Jian.


    Fang Yuan’s gaze became slightly dark.


    Ni Jian gazed towards Fang Yuan, at first he had a puzzled look, it soon turned into iparably


    intense hatred.


    Fang Yuan’s appearance was hugely different, but deep down, a sense of intuition told Ni Jian that the


    young man in front of him was the culprit!


    “It’s you, it’s you! You demon, you forced my grandpa to die and even ughtered my whole n.”


    As he said this, Ni Jian charged towards Fang Yuan.

    “Oh?” Qi Zai’s expression changed, his gaze turning cold as he sized up Fang Yuan again.


    Fang Yuan felt Qi Zai’s gaze piercing his body like a needle.


    With a cold snort, Fang Yuan waved his arm and immediately clouds started to surge out, covering the


    scenery as he quickly made his retreat.


    “Sure enough, there are an endless number of methods developed by Gu Immortals, it’s virtually


    impossible to defend against all of them effectively. They could actually find me?”


    The enemy was a rank seven Gu Immortal, of a higher rank than Fang Yuan.


    There was no doubt that this was a strong enemy.


    Fang Yuan immediately had the intention to retreat.


    “Stop!” Qi Zai shouted as he noticed this. His right hand took on the shape of an eagle w and swept


    ferociously at the clouds and the mist in the sky.


    Swoosh!


    It was like the sound of a huge wave.


    The clouds and the mist that filled the sky instantly dissipated.


    Fang Yuan who was still retreating, was exposed.


    Qi Zai faced Fang Yuan and opened his mouth, inhaling air.


    Fang Yuan immediately felt an enormous suction force over his whole body, causing his speed to


    rapidly decline.


    At this moment, the mudman, Ni Jian, had already flown close to him.


    Fang Yuan’s gaze shed, his expression was indifferent.


    “Die!” Ni Jian punched his fist, it caused a gust of wind to blow!


    The fist’s momentum was terrifying, as if it would destroy anything it struck.


    Ni Jian was originally only a rank two Gu Master, but after being killed by the beast group, he was


    revived as a mudman by Qi Zai using a mud monster corpse.


    His strength had thus increased rapidly and was at the level of a deste beast, and could match


    ordinary rank six Gu Immortals.


    Just from this, one could see how strange and terrifying the rank seven Gu Immortal Qi Zai’s method


    was.


    Ni Jian’s fist ruthlessly charged at Fang Yuan.


    But the next moment, Fang Yuan’s figure dispersed, turning into clouds and mist.


    Qi He eximed in surprise as she had not expected such a scene.


    Qi Zai, however, showed no surprise on his face, he looked to his right as he flicked his finger.


    Mortal killer move — Divine Flick.


    A pellet of qi, the size of a thumb, moved towards Fang Yuan so quickly that he actually was not able to


    dodge it.


    This time, his real body was exposed.


    Qi Zai let out a breath.


    Immediately, a thick and translucent rotating current of qi appeared around Ni Jian’s waist. The current


    of qi constantly revolved around his waist, and Ni Jian’s speed was multiplied a few times over.


    “Hand over your life!” Ni Jian roared as he once again charged towards Fang Yuan.


    Fang Yuan frowned.


    His whole body was covered in lion fur armor, the divine flick just now did not cause him any harm and


    only forced him to appear.


    “A qi path Gu Immortal….” He thought to himself.


    The history of qi path was older than even strength path, and its decline was also much more extreme


    than strength path.


    Fang Yuan had not expected he would actually run into a rare qi path Gu Immortal in Southern Border.


    No wonder he was chased and the truth of his massacre of Ni n was exposed. In qi path, there


    naturally were secret methods passed down over countless years which Fang Yuan did not understand


    clearly.


    “I only massacred Ni n, what does it have to do with these two Gu Immortals? In my previous life’s


    memories, there were no Gu Immortal ancestors of Ni n around.” Fang Yuan was puzzled.


    “Ahhhhhhhh!” Ni Jian charged over once again.


    Fang Yuan was starting to feel a slight headache.


    He had already fought against a deste beast mud monster, they did not have any fatal weakness.


    Even using the rank seven flying sword Immortal Gu had little effect.


    But this did not mean Fang Yuan had no way to deal with it.


    He swayed lightly as he pounced forward, he raised his hands, which were covered in ayer of cold


    white frost.


    Fang Yuan lightly struck Ni Jian’s body with his palms.


    Ni Jian’s offensive was crude, while Fang Yuan’s movement was like a leaf swaying in the wind, nimble


    and graceful.


    Ni Jian was quitecking in battle experience, he was not able to even touch Fang Yuan’s clothes.


    On the contrary, Fang Yuan’s moves were nimble and refined, his frosted palms continuously striking


    Ni Jian’s body.


    Soon, Ni Jian was covered in ayer of white frost, his speed sharply reduced, moreover the


    translucent current of qi rotating around his waist had already been dissipated by Fang Yuan’s attacks.


    Fang Yuan had Immortal Gu but they were all rank seven, he could not use them lightly.


    So he used the mortal killer move, lion fur armor, to pass this hurdle.


    And the surging clouds before as well as his current hands of frost were both superior mortal killer


    moves.


    The former originated from Tai Bai Yun Sheng, while thetter was obtained from Xue Song Zi.


    Tai Bai Yun Sheng primarily cultivated time path while cultivating cloud path as a secondary path, he


    would often spar with Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan was thus able to grasp his mortal methods.


    And before his rebirth, Fang Yuan had captured and searched Xue Song Zi’s soul.


    Back then, Xue Song Zi’s soul had been tampered by Shadow Sect’s side, Fang Yuan could not get


    information about Shadow Sect (Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was, after all, the founder of soul


    path), however, Xue Song Zi’s own process of growth during life, his cultivation insights and other


    experiences of his were all probed out by Fang Yuan.


    These were all used by Fang Yuan.


    As for the Gu worms needed for the mortal killer moves, they were all taken from Lang Yand spirit.


    And when Fang Yuan massacred Ni n, he had freely practiced with them against the deste beast


    mud monster.


    Qi Zai’s expression sank when he saw Ni Jian, with rank six battle strength, being toyed around by


    Fang Yuan, he again used his mortal killer move, divine flick, to send out countless pellets of qi.


    These pellets of wi were extremely fast, Fang Yuan was only able to dodge a few before he could not


    dodge anymore, and had to use his lion fur armor to block them head on.


    Lion fur armor had extremely strong defense, somewhat surpassing Qi Zai’s expectations.


    He snorted as he changed his method, from afar, he made a cutting motion with his hand towards Fang


    Yuan’s direction.


    Every time he made this movement, a de of qi would instantly be formed.


    Lion fur armor could only endure two shes before Fang Yuan had to use other methods, ayer of


    ck, oil-like sticky liquid appeared on the lion fur armor’s surface.


    The power of the des of qi immediately lowered when they struck the ck oil, the sharpness was


    greatly reduced and when they impacted on the lion fur armor, the effect was reduced by sixty percent.


    This ck, oil-like defensive killer move was from Hei Cheng.


    Fang Yuan had obtained this killer move when he searched Hei Cheng’s soul and was using it now.


    Most of the killer moves he had obtained by soul searching had been trained countless times by their


    respective Gu Masters. Although they could not raise Fang Yuan’s attainment level, these cultivation


    insights could allow Fang Yuan to have shortcuts to their results.


    Fang Yuan only needed to train with these mortal killer moves a little to use them with ease.


    As Qi Zai saw this, he snorted, two gusts of fire qi puffed out of his nose.


    The fire qi dispersed in the air, turning into an inferno that rushed towards Fang Yuan.


    At the same time, Ni Jian was fighting with everything he had.


    Fang Yuan continued to hit with his palms against the mudman.


    At this time, the inferno was already right in front of him.


    Heughed as he activated a cloud path killer move, immediately, nine rings of clouds appeared


    around him.


    This was Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s defensive killer move — Nine Cloud Ring.


    The inferno waspletely blocked by the rings of clouds and absorbed. Four formerly white rings of


    clouds were dyed red.


    Fang Yuan stretched out both hands and grabbed at the air.


    Gusts of air gathered in the center of his palms and quickly formed into two ck spheres.


    Mortal killer move — Dark Vortex.


    Fang Yuan flew forward, his hands continuously moving as spheres of dark vortexes were fired towards


    Qi Zai.


    Qi He, who was beside Qi Zai, eximed in shock when she sensed the danger hidden within the dark


    vortexes.


    Qi Zai counterattacked, using des of qi, pellets of qi as well as the fire qi he snorted out of his nose.


    Both sides went at each other, neither yielding even a step.


    Qi He was getting dazed, unable to keep up with battle methods of Gu Immortals that were on disy.


    She had just ascended to an immortal, mortal battles were almost always carried out on the ground, it


    would never be like this where they flew up and down in a fast paced movement.


    “I am almost certain he is genuinely a qi path Gu Immortal.” Fang Yuan observed while he fought,


    gathering intelligence.


    The battle hadsted for so long, but Qi Zai was still sittingfortably on the back of the qi grand lion.


    Even when Fang Yuan’s dark vortexes and other killer moves bypassed his flurry of attacks and struck


    his body, they would be blocked easily by his condensed qi.


    Qi Zai had the upper hand, but he was far from at ease in his mind.


    “What is going on?”


    “This guy… what path does he cultivate?”


    The more Qi Zai battled, the more puzzled he was.


    He was somewhat confused.


    The mortal killer moves Fang Yuan used all had the signs of being amplified by dao marks.


    But the killer moves already covered many paths like wind path, cloud path, dark path, strength path


    and other paths!


    Qi Zai was really puzzled.


    This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
