Chapter 232: First Time Awkward, Second Time Familiar (1/3)

"Mr. Fang!" Zou Mo froze on the spot, then immediately apologized in a hurry, "I'm sorry... my friend was nervous and misspoke..."

"Nervous?"

"Misspoke?"

Several people burst out into reckless laughter.

"Hey! Kid, do you still not understand the situation?" A tall and robust cultivator standing behind the pale-faced cultivator stepped forward, grabbing Zou Mo's head with almost a single hand and lifting him completely off the ground.

Then with a casual fling, like throwing away trash, Zou Mo was slammed hard against the wall. The violent impact made him feel as if his internal organs had shifted out of place, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a gasp!

The robust cultivator walked over with a sinister smile on his face: "Kid, don't think that just because your cultivation was decent in whatever small country you came from, you can act like a hero in front of us. A Martial Master? Or a Grand Martial Master? I can tell you, even a Martial Ancestor is nothing in front of me!"

"So, what did you just say?" The robust cultivator picked at his ear. "Can you say it again?"

"Hehehehehehe~ Alright, alright! Don't scare him out of his wits!" That lean cultivator wearing a small round cap and sporting a pair of rat whiskers laughed incredibly strangely. If Fang Qi had laughed like that before transmigrating, he would probably have been beaten up several times a day. "Just give him a little punishment so he knows the rules around here, don't break him! If he's broken, he won't be worth anything!"

The robust cultivator then said with a lack of interest, "Got it!"

"You guys better cut it out!" Just at this moment, Fang Qi's aura began to surge continuously. From Martial Master to Grand Martial Master, it didn't stop but kept rising! It didn't stop until it reached Martial Ancestor!

"A Martial Ancestor?! Such a young Martial Ancestor?!" Everyone's eyes lit up at this moment.

Then they burst into wild laughter!

"We hit the jackpot! We struck it rich this time! This kid will definitely fetch a great price!" The eyes of that lean cultivator with rat whiskers almost popped out as he shrieked, "Such a young Martial Ancestor is absolutely a genius rarely seen in a thousand years! If we sell his root bone, it will definitely command an astronomical price!"

The robust cultivator's eyes also shone as he smiled grimly, "It's already been said that a Martial Ancestor is absolutely nothing, yet you actually dare to reveal your true cultivation at a time like this. I don't know whether to call you brave or foolish!"

"But dealing with a Martial Ancestor still takes a little bit of effort." The robust cultivator's voice grew deeper and darker, his entire body swelling and expanding, his skin becoming incredibly rough as fine scales grew out from it, and even long fangs sprouted from his mouth!

He looked just like a massive demon!

It was rumored that some cultivators with poor talent practiced sinister techniques that devoured the bloodlines of demon beasts to increase their own cultivation. Although this method was effective, it also caused significant side effects.

For instance, once they exerted their full strength, they could no longer maintain a human form and would transform into a deformed, half-human, half-demon state!

"Do you think that just with you, a mere little Martial Ancestor, you can escape from our hands?"

"Sorry, I don't have time to chatter with you." Behind Fang Qi, countless sword shadows split apart. Unbeknownst to anyone, a silver-white sky completely formed of swords suddenly appeared!

This curtain of swords almost obscured half the sky!

Everyone stared dumbfounded at this shocking and unprecedented sight. The massive curtain of swords that blotted out the sky felt like a dark cloud looming over their hearts!

In this instant, their minds suddenly went completely blank!

"Perhaps you people here have some kind of misunderstanding about martial artists," Fang Qi said. "The martial artists on our side all thrash cultivators across an entire major realm."

"Myriad Sword Technique! Fall!"

Countless silver-white blades fell frantically like a violent storm!

The robust cultivator who had just been shouting that a Martial Ancestor was nothing, now transformed into a half-human, half-demon form, was terrified out of his wits, turned around, and fled!

Boom boom boom boom!

In almost the blink of an eye, hundreds of flying swords fell together, their crisscrossing blades slicing through flesh!

The robust cultivator, pinned firmly to the ground by the sword blades, still wanted to reach out and crawl his way out, but in the next instant, hundreds of blades turned a large patch of the ground into a forest of swords in a flash!

The two leading cultivators instantly retreated dozens of steps! Looking at this forest of swords and mountains of blades in horror, the robust cultivator from just now was already as dead as could be in the blink of an eye!

"Any last words?" The swords hanging high behind Fang Qi did not seem to have decreased at all!

"Arrogant!" The pale-faced cultivator said, "You think killing this trash means you can contend with us?"

The pale-faced cultivator took down a leather pouch from his waist, sliced his fingertip with his finger, and let a drop of essence blood fall onto the pouch. The pouch flew wide open, and countless human faces immediately swarmed out from within!

The originally dim sky grew even darker, as if being dragged by something into a ghostly hell!

Before long, these distorted human faces seemed to vanish completely!

The pale-faced cultivator sneered, "These refined spirits are formed from the intertwining of countless resentful souls. They are formless and substanceless, impervious to swords and blades. I want to see how you, a martial artist, will deal with them!"

Just then, a brilliant flash of white lightning erupted around Fang Qi!

Following closely was a sharp and piercing shriek of agony!

Holy Shock!

The invisible electric currents flooding around Fang Qi's body blasted everything that came near!

In this instant, all the originally formless and substanceless spiritual bodies completely materialized!

This entire area seemed to have transformed completely into a hell of electricity!

"The martial artists on our side kill ghosts in entire swarms," Fang Qi said somewhat speechlessly. "Compared to the lightning beasts of the Worldstone, this thing seems completely inadequate. To think it's actually afraid of electricity..."

The pale-faced cultivator: "..."

The rat-whiskered lean cultivator: "..."

These two cultivators of the Spirit River Realm felt that something was wrong for the very first time.

"This kid is a bit unusual!"

The pale-faced cultivator's face was incredibly gloomy: "Let's leave first, we won't do this business!"

Right at that moment, the cloud of swords in the sky instantly transformed into a vast, surging river of silver-white swords that came crashing down!

The two of them bit the tips of their tongues almost simultaneously, spraying out a mouthful of essence blood, and their hands executed several hand seals like a whirlwind as they rapidly fled into the distance!

Meanwhile, the few individuals nearby who were slower to flee were instantly pierced through by the flying swords!

"Execute!"

With a pull of the sword seal, countless blades in that stream of swords vanished, leaving behind only two flying swords in the end, but these two immediately burst with magnificent sword light! Their power could not be mentioned in the same breath as before!

The speed of the swords increased, chasing forward at a pace that was hardly inferior to the duo's fleeing speed!

Inside Half-City, the pedestrians on the street only saw two streaks of bloody light fleeing frantically, followed by two flying swords flashing with incandescent lightning that pursued them like shadows at a speed even a fraction faster than their flight!

The two streaks of light shot into the front of a fairly large shop named "Red Forest Pharmacy"!

The two looked into the shop and breathed a sigh of relief: "The big boss is here, we are safe!"

Pfft!

The two flying swords seemed to come from beyond the heavens, piercing straight through their brains! Blood splattered all over the inside of the shop!

Everyone, including the customers in the shop, stood dumbfounded!

"It is said that when traveling away from home, it's better to be fierce and ruthless. I wonder if this method of leaving no loose ends is standard or not." Fang Qi rubbed his somewhat stiff face. "Forget it, it's the first time anyway. Practice makes perfect, it will become standard slowly."

Pathways clearing up, Fang Qi only then walked toward Zou Mo, who had already fainted.
