CHAPTER 129: CHAPTER 125: ELDER FU XIU, WHAT A COINCIDENCE, WE MEET AGAIN

Boom!!!

The entire wooden house suddenly shattered!

An elder, with fiery red hair and a robust build, strode in angrily and shouted:

"Fu Xiu, it’s really you!"

Chen Zhixing’s eyes flashed, the True Self Second Layer cultivation he had pushed to the limit suddenly receded like a tide.

The Ox Demon Power within him also vanished without a trace in an instant.

"Fu Long?!"

Elder Fu Xiu’s face changed immediately, knowing he was likely exposed.

Without any hesitation, his eyes turned fierce, and he reached out to grab Chen Zhixing.

"Fu Xiu, haven’t you harmed enough people? Do you still want to ruin a Limit Breaker of our South Peak?"

Another voice full of anger echoed.

An elder with blue eyebrows and gray hair, dressed in a Taoist robe, descended from the sky.

He quickly formed a seal with his hands and gave a low shout:

"Divine Thought Technique: Execution Platform!"

In an instant, Fu Xiu, who was reaching towards Chen Zhixing, froze, a dazed look flashing in his eyes.

The world before him changed.

He was now bound to a copper pillar, surrounded by men in black robes, advancing with knives to cut him to pieces.

"Illusion Realm!"

Fu Xiu bit his tongue and immediately regained his clarity.

However, it was during this brief moment of stunned immobility.

"Divine Spear!"

Elder Fulong suddenly brandished a golden divine spear and thrust it hard at Elder Fu Xiu.

Fu Xiu’s body showed no visible wounds, yet he immediately clutched his head and howled in agony.

Under this spear, his Sea of Consciousness seemed to crack open, the intense pain depriving him of his ability to act momentarily.

Subsequently, another gray-robed Elder, holding a scroll, approached.

This person was none other than Fu Zhi, one of the Five Great Elders.

"Tear!"

He merely uttered a word.

Instantly, from the scroll he held, the word ’Tear’ flew out, imprinting upon Elder Fu Xiu.

"Ah!!!"

Fu Xiu screamed miserably again, his body oozing crimson blood from every pore.

In just a few breaths, Fu Xiu was gravely injured!

"Xiao Ping, come here!"

Elder Fulong shouted lowly.

Chen Zhixing hurriedly moved from the mat, hiding behind Elder Fulong.

Then.

Elders Fulong, Fu Yuan, and Fu Zhi stood shoulder to shoulder, looking with disgust at Fu Xiu who knelt bleeding on the ground.

"Fu Xiu, a few days ago, Fu Shen mentioned wanting to investigate who was secretly devouring the Divine Thoughts of our South Peak disciples, so to prevent accidents, we left a Divine Thought on him."

"Even when we sensed your aura on Fu Shen’s Spiritual Soul, we still couldn’t be sure because we couldn’t believe you would lay a hand on Fu Shen, someone you treated like a brother since you entered the sect!"

"Fu Xiu, how treacherous and ruthless you are!!"

The three spoke coldly, their eyes filled with indescribable disappointment and hatred.

After finishing speaking.

Elder Fulong turned to look at Chen Zhixing, his expression softening slightly: "Xiao Ping, don’t be afraid, we’re here, you’re safe now."

Chen Zhixing, looking bewildered, asked: "What happened?"

"Nothing of concern to you, you can leave now," Elder Fulong replied.

"Uh... okay."

Chen Zhixing bowed slightly, then quickly turned to leave.

In the instant he turned around, Chen Zhixing’s face turned gloomy.

Just a little more, just a little more!

He could have killed that Elder Fu Xiu!

"What an idiot, being caught just by secretly absorbing some Divine Thoughts, no wonder he was hunted to death in the last life!"

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Zhixing’s eyes.

Should I... just kill all these Elders?

Immediately, Chen Zhixing shook his head, abandoning the idea.

The Elders before him, with Elder Fu Long’s cultivation at the True Self Sixth Layer, another one at the True Self Third Layer, and one more at the True Self Fifth Layer.

Plus, Elder Fu Xiu at the True Self Fifth Layer.

Even if he exerted all his techniques, he wasn’t confident he could instantly annihilate these people.

And if he couldn’t instantly eliminate them, it could lead to great trouble.

"Forget it, since Fu Xiu managed to escape in the last life, he should be able to escape this time too."

Chen Zhixing shook his head, and once he moved far from Elder Fulong and the others, he stepped forward and vanished into the void.

Meanwhile.

At the site of the shattered wooden house.

Fu Xiu slowly stood up from the ground.

"When I was a good person, none of you appreciated me, now that I’m a villain, you come to judge me?" Fu Xiu gave a low laugh, looking at the three Great Elders.

"Incurably obstinate!"

"This person is beyond redemption, no need to engage him. Abolish his cultivation, take him back to South Peak, and await the Peak Leader’s decision!"

"Do it!"

In an instant, Elder Fulong and the other two’s eyes flashed, and they all took action simultaneously.

"Divine Thought Spear!"

"Divine Thought Technique: Guillotine!"

"Break!"

At once, all three attacked Fu Xiu.

"Hahaha, do you think that over the years, I haven’t anticipated this scenario today and prepared for it?"

Fu Xiu laughed loudly, giving a resentful glance toward where Chen Zhixing had been.

"Secret Skill: Sky-Soaring Skill!!!"

Fu Xiu shouted, and his physical body suddenly exploded!

The shockwave from the explosion forced Fulong and the other two back a few steps.

And Fu Xiu’s Spiritual Soul instantly split into hundreds, shooting out in all directions like a spider web.

By the time Fulong and the others realized, all that was left was Fu Xiu’s physical body turned into a puddle of blood.

"Damn it! He escaped!"

Fulong and the others’ expressions turned as dark as water.

"Pursue him! Without a physical body, Fu Xiu can’t get far!"

"We must kill Fu Xiu, otherwise, if he remains alive, it will be endless trouble! Who knows how many more will fall victim to him!"

"Fu Yuan, return to South Peak and report this to the Peak Leader, have the Sacred Land issue a pursuit order!"

The three quickly discussed, then stepped forward, flying off in three different directions.

A moment later.

The ground suddenly shook violently.

Fu Xiu’s figure surged from the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it!"

Fu Xiu’s face was waxy yellow, his aura becoming extremely withered.

The self-detonation technique he used just now to save his life came at a great cost, causing his cultivation to drop directly from True Self Fifth Layer to True Self Third Layer.

"Just a bit! Just a bit more and I could have completely absorbed Xiao Ping’s Essence Blood Divine Thought! Damn it!"

Fu Xiu’s face showed intense unwillingness, as that was an Innate Spiritual Body at the Limit-Breaking Level!

Devouring this person’s Essence Blood Divine Thought would have opened a bright future for him!

"Forget it, as long as the green mountain is retained, there will be no fear of running out of firewood!"

"I’ll retreat for now and look for an opportunity to kill that Xiao Ping later!"

Fu Xiu took a deep breath, his eyes shifting as he instantly flew in the opposite direction of the three Fu Long had left.

...

...

Half a day later.

The border area between Jiangzhou and Yanzhou.

On a small mountain trail.

In just half a day, after speeding thousands of miles, Fu Xiu couldn’t hold on any longer, his legs gave out, and he fell hard to the ground.

"Finally escaped."

Fu Xiu exhaled a long breath, a look of relief washing over his face.

This time leaving Jiangzhou and hiding into Yanzhou, he could swim like a fish in the wide sea.

Even if the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands were powerful, they couldn’t possibly track him across states.

Suddenly.

He seemed to sense something and slowly lifted his eyes to look ahead.

Not far in front, a figure with disheveled white hair, a burly build, dressed in coarse linen like an old farmer, stood quietly in the distance.

The man had a massive black coffin on his back, his eyes looking indifferently at Fu Xiu.

"At the order of the Young Master, I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Who are you?" Fu Xiu squinted, his heart sinking as he spoke.

The person didn’t reply, instead, taking step by step towards Fu Xiu.

Crack.

Behind him, the coffin suddenly shattered.

A black giant sword with a ferocious vertical eye emerged and was grabbed by him.

Boom——!

A black sword light instantly slashed out, slashing fiercely towards Fu Xiu!

Fu Xiu’s face changed, he hurriedly rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the sword light.

"Divination God Record: Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Charge!!"

Fu Xiu shouted explosively, rapidly forming seals with his hands.

Behind him, countless shadows of ancient barbaric divine beasts appeared instantly!

Bi’an!

Cyan Dragon!

Candlelight!

Taotie!

Qiongqi!!

Suanni!!

"Go——!"

Fu Xiu bit his tongue, letting out a low shout.

In an instant, countless shadows of barbaric divine beasts roared, rushing towards the figure in linen robes.

"Eye of Destruction, activate."

The figure in linen calmly uttered two words.

Whiz!

In an instant, the vertical eye on the hilt of the black demon sword in his hand abruptly opened!

Thump! Thump!!

Intense heartbeats emanated from the sword’s hilt.

Immediately, countless blood-red lines like veins spread rapidly, covering the figure in linen entirely.

The figure’s aura suddenly surged at a visibly rapid pace, a wisp of blood-red demonic eye floating from his eyes.

"Sword Technique: Opening Heaven and Earth!" the figure calmly spoke.

He swung the vertical eye demon sword horizontally, a terrifying black sword arc sliced out instantly!

Boom!!

The sword arc, like a surging river, swept across the entire sky, horizontally slicing and crushing through the endless divine beast shadows.

Bang bang bang!!

The divine beast shadows shattered with a speed almost visible to the naked eye!

"You are..."

"Sword Demon Dugu Ni from eighty years ago?!!"

Fu Xiu’s face changed drastically, shouting in astonishment.

Sword Demon Dugu Ni!

The Sword Tao Grandmaster from eighty years ago!

An absolute powerhouse at True Self Eighth Layer!

Even once opening the Eye of Destruction, he fought one against nine, slaughtering the nine True Self Grand Elders of the Longevity Family’s Sikong family!!

Though it was unknown why this Sword Demon had his cultivation drop from True Self Eighth Layer to True Self Third Layer!

But even if this famed battle power Sword Demon is now only True Self Third Layer, he is still far beyond what I can contend with now!

"Sword Demon, we have no grievances or enmities, why do you..." Fu Xiu shouted hurriedly.

Bang!!!

The black sword arc advanced unimpeded, cutting through one divine technique after another, finally slamming onto Fu Xiu.

In an instant, hot blood splattered into the air.

Fu Xiu’s body seemed split in two, his flesh torn apart, exposing his white bones.

Dugu Ni stepped forward, grabbing Fu Xiu’s hair, lifting him like a dead dog, dragging him towards the depths of the forest.

"Sword Demon, spare my life, I’ve never provoked you...."

Fu Xiu’s lips trembled, his face full of fear.

"Whether to let you live or not is not up to me."

Dugu Ni spoke faintly, finally stopping his steps, respectfully towards a dark bamboo forest ahead, saying:

"Young Master, the mission is complete."

"Young Master?"

Fu Xiu was stunned, who could have the Sword Demon under their command?

He hurriedly looked in the direction Dugu Ni was facing, wanting to know precisely whom he had offended.

In the dark shade of the bamboo forest.

Chen Zhixing, in clothing as white as snow, walked out slowly, his face calm and indifferent, his long slanted eyes narrowing slightly with a faint smile.

"Elder Fu Xiu, what a coincidence, we meet again." Chen Zhixing said with a slight smile.
