Chapter 87 The Death of the Four Strange People of Yanchuan
When the two groups met, three of the four oddballs from Yanchuan were taken aback. After all, Fang Xiu's group was quite strange, with men, women, and children all present. They didn't seem like the kind of people who should be on Descent Island.
"One mid-stage Qingxu cultivator and two early-stage Qingxu cultivators." Because he was forced to land on the ground due to the air-restriction, he could only look up at people. Xuan Yi was in a bad mood and casually glanced at the three of them with a dark face.
"No! They're not from Yuxu!" The eldest of the Four Eccentrics of Yanchuan was the first to realize that the ones who could open the three of them at a glance couldn't possibly be the Qingxu group. They must be from the Heavenly Court! How did they get here so quickly?
"run!!"
The three scattered and fled in different directions. The opposing force outnumbered them and included a master whose strength was clearly far superior to theirs. If they didn't flee now, when would they?
Bang! X3
With three muffled thuds, the three who had just fled were sent flying back at an even faster speed. The three collided together, and the footprints on their chests proved that they had not returned voluntarily.
Xuan Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his small body exuding a powerful aura. The Ice Fairy of the Extreme Cold Star Palace stood beside him. She had originally intended to stop the leader of the Four Eccentrics of Yanchuan, but Fang Xiu took the initiative to act first.
Two teachers from Wangyou Pavilion and Huangsha Academy also joined the attack, and the three of them attacked simultaneously, directly driving back the fleeing Four Eccentrics of Yanchuan.
"Such speed! No wonder you are Master Xuanyi's disciple!" Fairy Bingchuan exclaimed. Fang Xiu's speed just now was nothing like that of a cultivator who had just broken through to the Pure Void Realm. The speed and power that burst forth in that instant surprised her.
Kicked back, the three members of the Yan Chuan Four Eccentrics stood back to back, facing Fang Xiu and his group who had surrounded them in a triangular formation.
"Don't hold back! Go all out!"
The leader of the Four Eccentrics of Yanchuan swallowed the blood that rose to his throat and shouted fiercely. Fang Xiu's kick just now almost kicked his internal organs out. At this moment, his face was fierce, like a vengeful ghost.
The leader of the Four Eccentrics of Yanchuan clasped his hands together and raised them to the sky. A chilling spiritual energy mixed with resentment burst forth, and a tall female spirit appeared behind him.
"Evil Yin Technique!"
The remaining two of the four oddities of Yanchuan were equally unwilling to be outdone. Yu Chan simply lay down on the ground, limbs on the ground, and his body size suddenly increased more than twice. His skin, which was already full of bumps, was as rough as tree bark. The bumps were full of cavities, and at this moment, green sap kept shooting out from those cavities. The green sap was corroding the earth just by falling on the ground, which showed how toxic it was.
"Netherworld Poison Technique!"
"Ancient Corpse Soldiers!"
A magic circle shrouded in black mist unfolded beneath the feet of the second of the Four Eccentrics of Yanchuan. A gigantic skeleton, five zhang tall, emerged from the magic circle, with two wisps of green ghost fire flickering in its two lantern-sized eye sockets.
The giant skeleton soldier exuded a dense aura of death and evil, and emitted eerie laughter that sounded like the wailing of an owl or the snarling of a demon.
"You beast! How dare you cultivate such evil arts!"
Seeing the three's moves, Xuan Yi and the others' killing intent intensified. They were not ignorant people; the spells used by the Four Eccentrics of Yanchuan were all evil and strange, especially the Evil Yin Technique used by the mid-stage Qingxu cultivator, which was the most evil of all evil spells.
"Ugh—!!"
The female spirit in mid-air shed two streams of bloody tears from her eyes, while her mouth emitted a cry filled with resentment that shook the very soul. This sonic attack, which struck at the very soul, was even powerful enough to shatter the souls of ordinary beings in the Jade Void Realm.
Being at a disadvantage, the Four Eccentrics of Yanchuan went all out from the start. They were outnumbered and had no choice but to break through, and Fang Xiu was their target for the breakout.
There was no other way. Among the group, Fang Xiu looked like an easy target, and Xuan Yi, though seemingly young, was clearly no pushover. As for the others, none of them were weaker than a late-stage Qingxu cultivator.
Fang Xiu was the only one who could be identified as one of the people who had participated in the landing on the island. His demeanor was completely different from the others, making him the best point of entry.
Although he had just been kicked away by Fang Xiu, the leader of the Four Eccentrics of Yanchuan only thought it was because he was careless, and Fang Xiu was obviously a demon cultivator, so it was normal for him to be stronger than others of the same level. Therefore, he did not think too much about it.
Without a word, the four strange men of Yanchuan simultaneously launched an attack on Fang Xiu.
"Excellent! Force him to dodge, then seize the opportunity to escape!"
Seeing that they were about to reach Fang Xiu, and that he still seemed not to have reacted, the Four Eccentrics of Yanchuan were overjoyed, as it seemed that they still had a chance to escape.
But in the next instant, their hopes were dashed. Fang Xiu looked up, revealing a set of perfectly aligned teeth, and grinned, "You actually dare to pass through here?"
A terrifying tiger's roar rang out from Fang Xiu, instantly drowning out the wailing of the vengeful spirit, and in turn, the three people were stunned for a moment.
Fang Xiu raised his palm and brought it down suddenly. His palm transformed into a tiger's claw, growing larger in the wind, like a huge mountain falling from the sky, crashing down on the three of them.
The five-zhang-tall skeleton was like a building block, crumbling at the slightest touch. The three who regained their senses tried to resist, but to no avail.
Demon cultivators are inherently powerful, but Fang Xiu, through his own efforts, has a physical body that, if not comparable to a magic weapon, surpasses one. Coupled with his terrifying power, the three of them simply cannot withstand him.
Fang Xiu withdrew his hand, leaving a claw mark on the ground. The three people were right in the center. They were not dead, but it would have been better if they were. The blue and white flames slowly devoured their bodies, causing them to wail continuously.
"True Soul Flame?!"
The True Soul Flame is a strange fire refined from souls, possessing immense destructive power. Its power is directly proportional to the number of souls and the caster's magical power.
Under Fang Xiu's control, the True Soul Flame methodically devoured the three people's bodies, starting from their limbs. The three tried to struggle, but to no avail, and could only beg for mercy in pain.
"Fellow Daoist, you are truly remarkable!"
Fang Xiu's display of strength drew the attention of the teachers from the other three academies. Although they could also defeat three of the four oddballs from Yanchuan, it would not have been as easy and effortless as Fang Xiu's feat.
If they had previously held Fang Xiu in some contempt, after all, he was just a junior who had just broken through to the Pure Void Realm, they now took him seriously and no longer regarded him as a junior, but as a fellow Daoist of the same level.
The True Soul Flame destroyed the three people's physical bodies, leaving only their souls. Fang Xiu and the others began to interrogate them. At first, the three tried to be stubborn, but when the True Soul Flame began to burn their souls, the three, whose lives were in danger, dared not hide anything and revealed everything, whether they should or should not.
The True Soul Flame is extremely lethal to the soul, and the three of them did not want to become fuel for the True Soul Flame to burn.
"We...we've told you everything, can you spare our lives?"
Only three of the four remaining remnants of the Yanchuan Four Eccentrics begged for mercy, attempting to cling to life.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have a habit of leaving problems unresolved."
With a sweep of the True Soul Flame, the three of them instantly turned into firewood, making the blue and white flames burn even brighter.
After dealing with the three, the group headed towards the inner region. Before leaving, Fang Xiu made sure to collect the souls of the female cultivators in Shifang. Although their souls were severely damaged, they could be healed in Shifang.
