"Gu lu!"
Fang Xi directly swallowed a pellet of Qi and Blood Pill, feeling the surging Qi and blood in his body, which transformed into dense True Qi!
A shield with a rough surface appeared beside him.
In addition, there was a layer of golden defensive shield enveloping Fang Xi's entire body!
At this moment, he could be described as fully armed!
The opponent, Dugu Wuwang, seemed to sense something and slowly retreated to the entrance of the cave.
For him, retreating was to launch a better attack!
Retreating to the entrance of the cave reduced the restriction of the Xuantie Chains!
"Although half-mad, his martial intuition is as sharp as a wild beast!"
Fang Xi laughed heartily, taking big strides forward, entering Dugu Wuwang's attack range.
He raised his palm high, like overturning Mount Tai, and smashed down:
"Secret Technique · Chaos of the Universe!"
Boom!
Dugu Wuwang's whole body spewed out air currents, his figure flickering, even able to change direction in mid-air.
At this moment, he directly passed through the myriad of fist shadows and arrived above Fang Xi's head.
This kind of body technique was difficult to describe in words!
At least, even Yan Jun, who prided himself on his superior body technique, would break out in a cold sweat upon seeing it.
If he dared to imitate the opponent, the only outcome would be getting smashed into a meat pie amidst Fang Xi's countless fist shadows!
But Dugu Wuwang managed to find possibility within impossibility, breaking through the limits!
"Roar!"
In mid-air, Dugu Wuwang let out a strange cry, and the tight scales on his body suddenly began to change again, his body's lines becoming smoother, his forehead's horns sharper, and something seemed to be about to burst out from his back and ribs!
Fang Xi could even intuitively guess as a martial artist that it was a pair of wings!
Because to leap into the air, one needed wings to fly!
The adaptability of demonic martial artists was truly astonishing!
And the next moment...
Dugu Wuwang plummeted from mid-air.
With horns on his head, scales on his body, and a bulge on his back.
The feeling he gave was not that of a human, but... a Qilin!
"I remember!"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Tong muttered to himself, "Back then, what Dugu Wuwang devoured was a piece of flesh dropped by the rampaging Qilin Demon in Zhongzhou!"
Compared to these two individuals, Fang Xi faced even greater pressure.
The Qilin leaps, the demon annihilates the world!
The demonic transformation of Dugu Wuwang roared, his hands pressed on the Xuantie Shield, and with a fierce tear!
Crack!
In a teeth-gritting sound, the originally corroded artifact let out a mournful cry and completely shattered.
The next moment, Fang Xi roared, raising his fist to the sky: "Chaos of the Universe!"
Crack!
His fist clashed with Dugu Wuwang's sharp claws, the strong True Qi shield and the demonic claws tearing at each other, producing a series of electric sparks.
Fang Xi heard the roar of the Qilin Demon, the mixed stench of the opponent's breath, as if they were right in front of him.
Puff puff!
Countless scales on Dugu Wuwang's arms scattered in an instant, like pear blossoms in a storm, striking Fang Xi's defensive spiritual shield.
Ripples!
The protective shield shimmered, but eventually shattered, allowing the flying knife-like Qilin scales to pierce through Fang Xi's True Qi outer garment.
At the same time, a golden sword light emerged from the void, majestic and domineering, stabbing directly at Dugu Wuwang's chest!
Seeing this sword, even Yan Jun couldn't help but touch his chest, feeling a faint pain.
"Roar!"
As soon as the Golden Jiao Sword appeared, it seemed to bring an extreme sense of danger to Dugu Wuwang!
In the nick of time, he abandoned the fist fight with Fang Xi, his hands flying to grab the flowing light, actually grabbing the sword blade firmly in his hand.
The sharp blade cut through his scales, skin... but was firmly stuck by his bones, unable to advance a single bit.
Fang Xi's expression remained unchanged, his gaze deep as a pool, as if everything that happened was within his expectations.
He scattered a seed of Iron Grass from his left hand, clenched his right fist, and calmly faced Dugu Wuwang.
"Devouring demons and monsters... Transform... Transform... Divine Technique!"
Dugu Wuwang roared, exerting force with his hands continuously, even causing a small crack to appear on the Golden Jiao Sword.
But the next moment, numerous Iron Grasses took root and sprouted on his body...
Steel-like leaves wrapped around his entire body, leaving only a head with horns exposed.
"Secret Technique · Chaos of the Universe!"
Fang Xi held something in his palm, crushed it, and pressed it against Dugu Wuwang's forehead.
Bang!
Dugu Wuwang was sent flying, crashing into the steel-like black rock wall, creating a large hole!
"Phew... It's really tough!"
Fang Xi retracted his palm, his True Qi on the verge of depletion.
"If it weren't for Dugu Wuwang being chained by the Xuantie Chains... today, it would definitely be our defeat!"
"You..." Zhou Tong walked over, looking at the chaotic ground around.
On the rock harder than steel, there were deep footprints, palm prints... some even cracked.
"Did you kill Grandmaster Dugu?" Yan Jun also walked over, searching for his severed arm.
"Not yet..."
As soon as Fang Xi spoke, he noticed that Yan Jun and Zhou Tong dashed away like rabbits, quickly moving a distance.
"It's not that I haven't killed the old man..."
As soon as a figure slowly walked out of the cave, it was Dugu Wuwang!
But at this moment, he had already returned to his normal human form, his eyes devoid of red light, revealing a simple and square face, "Zhou Tong, Yan Jun... do you two not recognize me?"
"We've seen Grandmaster Dugu!"
Zhou Tong and Yan Jun stepped forward to pay their respects, still somewhat incredulous, "Grandmaster... you're... recovered?"
"More or less..."
Dugu Wuwang sat on the ground without any airs, his eyes fixed on Fang Xi, "What did you just inject into me?"
He had a feeling that this time, he was likely to go completely insane after going berserk.
But unexpectedly, amidst the madness, he felt a moist sensation spreading throughout his body, a coolness in his mind, which helped him regain consciousness.
"It's just a calming pill I bought with a thousand gold coins...," Fang Xi answered with a smile.
This was also his experience in treating Mu Canglong.
"Very well, very well, spending a thousand gold coins is worth it. Give me ten or eight more... mundane items like gold and silver, just ask these two little guys for them!"
Dugu Wuwang raised his eyebrows, chuckling.
"I'm afraid that won't work!"
Fang Xi shook his head regretfully.
"Why not?"
Dugu Wuwang's expression became somewhat somber and desolate, "To be honest... I may go berserk again in the next moment. Without the assistance of the pill, even this Xuantie Chain, the toughest in the world, might not be able to restrain me!"
Zhou Tong and Yan Jun couldn't help but shudder.
If they let this Grandmaster run amok and cause chaos in the world, they would bear the responsibility as well!
"Grandmaster, don't scare me."
Fang Xi also sat cross-legged, smiling, "I still have a bottle of that pill on me. If Grandmaster wants it, I can offer it with both hands, just asking for one thing!"
"Oh, what is it?" Dugu Wuwang became interested.
"I want... Grandmaster's method of 'Qi Permeating the Body' and the secret technique of devouring and refining demons!" Fang Xi said frankly.
Dugu Wuwang was surprised, carefully examining Fang Xi, "Young man, you seem to be only around twenty years old, but you have cultivated to the limit of a Grandmaster. Your talent even surpasses mine... You don't want to try the path of 'True Qi Manifestation,' but instead want my insane secret technique? Haha... truly interesting! Interesting!"
"What? Master Fang, you're only twenty years old?"
Yan Jun widened his eyes, "Wasn't it said you're not yet thirty?"
But the next moment, he realized that being under thirty could also mean being twenty!
The young man's talent completely exceeded his imagination!
Perhaps, the future of the Grandmaster might truly lie with him!
"I want the technique of 'True Qi Manifestation'! And the method of devouring and using demons, I want that too!"
Fang Xi replied calmly and seriously.
He was going to cultivate demonic trees in the future, and compared to these martial artists who devoured demons, his actions were no better, and perhaps even more dangerous.
Although there were related methods in the 'Longevity Art.'
At the same time, if he could obtain some methods to devour demons while maintaining his sanity, it would be even safer.
"Haha... well said!"
Dugu Wuwang suddenly burst into laughter, thundering like a thunderstorm, echoing in the valley, "Upon reflection, I realized that when I devoured the Qilin Demon flesh before, I was a bit reckless. The realm of 'Qi Permeating the Body' may not completely suppress demons... It's necessary to go further, reach the realm of 'True Qi Manifestation,' with the spirit of a martial artist, condensed True Qi, and unparalleled physique... only then can one barely devour and suppress a part of the demon, and then use it as one's own!"
"You young people who want to learn this secret technique, I am naturally willing to teach."
After he finished laughing, he began to dictate this secret technique, "Devouring demons and monsters, Transforming the Divine Technique..."
Fang Xi felt that the words Dugu Wuwang muttered when he went mad were very similar.
He quickly memorized this technique, then handed a small jade bottle to Dugu Wuwang, "There's still some of those pills left. Elder, please use them sparingly. They might last for another year or so..."
Dugu Wuwang uncorked the bottle, sniffed the scent, nodded in satisfaction.
He turned and walked back into the cave, the heavy chains dragging on the ground, making a dull sound.
"You two, remember to inform the head of the sect to come over..."
Only when his figure completely disappeared into the darkness of the cave entrance did a faint voice come out, "I have so much to deal with here, I need to clean up..."
"Yes!"
Zhou Tong and Yan Jun looked at each other, both smiling wryly as they accepted the order.
When Dugu Wuwang went mad, he was an old lunatic, but once he regained his sanity, he was a senior elder of the sect, even the sect leader had to give him some face.
Instructing them to do things was no problem at all.
Even though he had nearly beaten them to death when he went mad!
"Master Fang, the sect leader must be eager to see you."
At this moment, Zhou Tong looked at Fang Xi, his gaze carrying a hint of respect.
As a Grandmaster Martial Saint, this should not have happened to him.
But at this moment, it had indeed happened.
Even Yan Jun felt it was only natural, feeling as if he had trained a fake Grandmaster...
