Fang Ling continued walking forward, realizing that this canyon was even longer than he had imagined.
“Am I seeing things?” Suddenly, he saw a figure ahead.
Judging by the silhouette, it seemed to be a woman, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, likely cultivating.
Fang Ling stopped and focused his gaze, confirming that he wasn’t hallucinating; there was indeed someone there.
“The wind here is strong enough to tear apart Jin Buhuan’s Indestructible Golden Body. This person’s strength is extraordinary!” Fang Ling thought.
At this moment, the woman turned around and slowly opened her eyes.
She looked young, around thirty years old.
Her skin was smooth and radiant, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
But her eyes revealed her true age, showing that she had weathered many storms.
Her gaze fell on Fang Ling, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, and then she murmured, “I didn’t expect the Liuhe Sect to be so powerful now.”
“You’re so young, yet your physical body is comparable to the supreme demon race with imperial bloodlines.”
“What is your name, and which generation Sect Master are you?”
This woman had appeared mysteriously in the depths of the Liuhe Sect’s forbidden area and was asking him which generation Sect Master he was.
This made Fang Ling suspect that she was also from the Liuhe Sect, possibly a former Sect Master.
Seeing that Fang Ling didn’t answer, the woman asked again, “How far have you cultivated the Demon Body?”
Fang Ling knew what she was referring to—the supreme body technique of the Liuhe Sect.
He had skimmed through it before and found it far inferior to the Gluttony Divine Art, so he had no interest in it.
“It seems you are not from the Liuhe Sect,” the woman said, narrowing her eyes and sneering.
“Who are you?” Fang Ling countered.
The woman laughed and said, “I was known as Fairy Li Jiang back in the day, but that was thousands of years ago.”
“I think you might understand better if I say I am the founder of the Liuhe Sect.”
“Back then, I traveled to the South Sun Kingdom and discovered this peculiar place.”
“So I founded a sect here to use it as a cover, to prevent other wandering experts from discovering this place.”
“I didn’t expect the Liuhe Sect to have such origins,” Fang Ling said, slightly surprised.
“This is the forbidden area I designated for the sect. No one except the Sect Master is allowed to enter,” Fairy Li Jiang said, her tone turning slightly displeased. “You barged in here today, could it be…”
“But actually, I don’t care about the Liuhe Sect. This place was discovered by me first.”
“If you know what’s good for you, leave immediately!”
“Or else…”
“Or else what?” Fang Ling asked, looking at her indifferently.
“You’re young and strong, indeed something to be proud of,” Fairy Li Jiang said with a smile.
“But if you don’t know your limits, no matter how talented you are, you will die young!”
“I really don’t want to kill a human genius like you…”
There must be some rare treasure ahead, and Fang Ling wasn’t going to give up.
He ignored Fairy Li Jiang’s warning and continued walking forward.
Fairy Li Jiang watched him silently, her gaze growing colder.
She had spent thousands of years here, investing a lot of time and effort.
There was no way she would watch her hard-earned gains be taken by a newcomer.
“Kid, you brought this on yourself, don’t blame me!” Her eyes filled with killing intent, losing all the charm they had before.
In a flash, Fairy Li Jiang appeared behind Fang Ling, her leg sweeping horizontally.
But Fang Ling didn’t dodge. Instead, he turned around and grabbed her ankle with his left hand.
He wasn’t being arrogant; Fairy Li Jiang stopping here meant her physical limit was here.
But for him, the wind here, though fierce, didn’t cause him any discomfort. His limit was far beyond this.
So he had a good chance of winning against her.
He grabbed Fairy Li Jiang’s ankle and slammed her to the ground without hesitation.
With a loud bang, the solid ground, tempered by the fierce wind, shattered under Fairy Li Jiang’s body.
Fairy Li Jiang felt her head buzzing, momentarily dazed.
Fang Ling’s killing intent surged, and he was about to punch her head.
But suddenly, terrifying flames erupted from Fairy Li Jiang’s body.
The ankle he was holding, which had been smooth and cold, now felt like a hot iron, causing him to instinctively let go.
With his current physical strength, he could ignore most flames.
But the fire on Fairy Li Jiang’s body burned him directly.
“Kid, do you think that just because you made it here, your strength is at least equal to mine?”
“Ha, my weakest aspect is my physical body!” Fairy Li Jiang sneered.
At this moment, she was engulfed in golden flames, and even from a distance, Fang Ling could feel the scorching pain on his skin.
Fairy Li Jiang leaped into the air.
She raised her hand, instantly drawing a circular formation in front of her.
“Fire Rain Meteor!” She placed her palm on the formation, and fire meteors shot out one by one.
The heat emitted by each fire meteor increased several times!
The terrifying fire meteors covered the entire area, leaving Fang Ling no choice but to take the attack head-on.
“This woman’s cultivation is at least at the early Mizar Realm… two major realms higher than mine!”
Fang Ling didn’t dare to be careless and didn’t want to take the attack head-on.
Just touching her ankle had burned him badly.
Now, the temperature of these fire meteors was unknown how many times higher.
If these flames touched him, he would be severely injured if not dead.
He stood still, his right eye turning red, becoming a Blood Eye.
When he was just born, his right eye was gouged out. Later, he transplanted the Heart of the Demon Ancestor, and his Chaos Sacred Body regenerated a more terrifying Blood Eye.
This Blood Eye had the power to influence space. Currently, he could twist space to deflect and dissolve attacks.
The Blood Eye flashed red, and the fire meteors disappeared instantly!
But such a powerful force wasn’t easy to use.
A line of blood tears flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his eye.
Fairy Li Jiang had thought her move would kill Fang Ling, but the result filled her with fear.
“What kind of monster is this guy?”
“His cultivation is clearly much lower than mine, yet he can dissolve my divine power…”
Although Fang Ling had the Heavenly Concealment Technique, once he made a move, the opponent could easily gauge his approximate cultivation level, which couldn’t be hidden.
“At this point, I can only kill him. Otherwise, if he grows stronger, I will surely die!” Fairy Li Jiang gritted her teeth, condensing a flaming sword in her hand.
With a light shout, she slashed at Fang Ling.
Fang Ling also condensed his Life-Bound Blood Sword and met her attack: “Repress Hell!”
Slay Dragon, Ask Heaven, and Repress Hell were the three ultimate swords comprehended by Sword Demon at different times.
The Slay Dragon sword was comprehended when he was young, after a fierce battle with a Dragon Clan genius.
The Ask Heaven sword was comprehended in his middle age, during a spar with the Heavenly Emperor’s shadow in the Heavenly Palace.
The Repress Hell sword was comprehended during his 300,000 years of imprisonment in the Frozen Mountain Temple, the culmination of his Sword Dao.
Fang Ling had only grasped the surface of the Repress Hell sword, not its essence.
But even so, its power surpassed most sword techniques in the world.
Moreover, his Life-Bound Blood Sword was enhanced by the Tong Yuan Sword Soul, making it even more terrifying.
In a flash of sword shadows, the outcome was decided.
Fairy Li Jiang was injured by the sword energy, a bone-deep sword wound appearing on her chest.
The wound was surrounded by blood fiend energy, causing secondary damage.
She was struck down by Fang Ling’s sword, kneeling on one knee.
Drip, drip, watching the blood dripping from her chest, she felt like she was dreaming.
“His Sword Dao attainment is also so terrifying…”
“It seems I have no choice but to use this move!”
Fairy Li Jiang gritted her teeth, raising her head and letting out a hysterical roar.
Nine golden suns rose from her body, hanging high in the sky.
“Nine Suns Illuminate the World!”
The terrifying heat melted everything, turning the surrounding mountains and ground into boiling lava.
This was an indiscriminate attack, and even Fairy Li Jiang couldn’t avoid it.
Her clothes were all burned away, but because the fire source was on her, she didn’t feel the scorching pain of the Nine Suns.
But Fang Ling was in a dire situation; his long black hair was instantly burned off.
His clothes were also burned away, leaving him bare.
Under the scorching of the nine suns, his body couldn’t withstand it, his skin turning red like a piece of iron heated for a long time.
If cold water were poured on him now, it would surely sizzle.
“Capture the ringleader first!” he gritted his teeth, enduring the pain.
Ignoring the nine suns in the sky, he focused on Fairy Li Jiang.
With a gesture, a golden spear appeared in his hand.
The spear’s sharpness stung Fairy Li Jiang.
Emitting a destructive aura, it seemed capable of destroying everything.
“Why aren’t you dead yet?” Fairy Li Jiang’s eyes widened, retreating in panic.
Nine Suns Illuminate the World was her ultimate move, and logically, Fang Ling should have been burned to death the moment the nine suns appeared.
But his vitality exceeded her expectations; not only was he not burned to death, but he also had the strength to continue fighting.
Fang Ling roared, throwing the Xuanjin Heaven-Piercing Spear in his hand.
Companion Spiritual Treasures were extraordinary not just because of their powerful abilities.
They were also connected to their owners, capable of growing stronger.
As the owner grew stronger, so did the treasure; they were essentially one.
Thus, the Xuanjin Heaven-Piercing Spear was much more powerful than before.
With a piercing sound, the Xuanjin Heaven-Piercing Spear penetrated Fairy Li Jiang’s body, pinning her to the ground.
Her eyes widened, her hands falling weakly, and she perished just like that.
The spectacle of the nine suns in the sky dissipated with her death.
Fang Ling’s burned skin gradually cooled, returning to normal.
Thump, thump, his Indestructible Heart beat faster, restoring his body.
His burned hair regrew.
Dead skin fell off, carried away by the fierce wind…
He quickly took out a new set of clothes from his storage bag and put them on, then slowly walked to Fairy Li Jiang’s corpse.
