Chapter 56: Three Tigers (Requesting Continued Reading)
Time flies like flowing water.
Since the appearance of Evil God Sect followers in the Happy Home Community, Fang Xing had remained quiet.
Every day he went to school and back, and on weekends he worked part-time.
Of course, he also diligently practiced.
Before he knew it, two months had passed.
Prevention Bureau Building, Faith Theory Department.
Fang Xing, with his employee ID hanging from his chest, was sweeping the floor with a broom.
Next to him, a state-of-the-art floor-cleaning robot manufactured by a household appliance company, was pitifully staring at him.
“Fang Xing, Aunt Bai is looking for you.”
Gu Yun came out and found Fang Xing.
Fang Xing nodded, handed the broom to Gu Yun, and walked into Bai Ziling’s office.
“Manager Bai.”
Fang Xing greeted her first.
“En, Xiaoyun said you’ve been taking good care of her, thank you very much…”
Bai Ziling’s attitude was very good: “This concludes your internship. Your wages will be directly deposited into your accounts, and I’ve given both of you excellent evaluations…”
“Thank you, Manager Bai. I’ve learned a lot here…”
Fang Xing thanked her sincerely.
This wasn’t false modesty. Although during his internship, he hadn’t entered any “red zones” (high-risk areas), he had indeed met many people, broadened his horizons, and learned a lot of “secrets.”
For example, how to avoid surveillance in Maple Leaf City, how to deal with investigations by the Prevention Bureau, and how to disguise and conceal the aura of Evil God items…
In fact, Xia’s actions last time had given him more trust in the Federation.
He even considered whether to bring some otherworldly items for identification.
After all, identifying all kinds of strange things was the responsibility of the Faith Theory Department.
However, Fang Xing ultimately decided to hold back.
‘It’s better to be safe than sorry… Although cultivation items will most likely be identified as extraterrestrial objects, or extraterrestrial objects that require special energy to activate, essentially equivalent to waste…’
‘But what if… there are cultivators here?’
‘To be cautious, I’ll have Gu Yun or other members of the Faith Theory Department “accidentally” obtain a talisman or something in the black market, and then submit it for inspection…’
This was Fang Xing’s way of testing the Federation.
To see if the Federation could discover the special nature of cultivation items, and even if cultivators existed!
…
Happy Home Community.
“Hm? It seems the Prevention Bureau’s protection personnel have left?”
Fang Xing touched his forehead, then took out his key and entered his room.
According to Federation law and Prevention Bureau practice, even with protection, they would not intrude on the privacy of the protected person.
After closing the door, he looked at the “Protective Talisman” affixed to the back of the door.
This is a very simple yet popular talisman in the cultivation world, generally used during seclusion.
As long as it is pasted on the wall, it can form a simple barrier.
This barrier is very fragile. Any external intrusion, even the spiritual sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, will immediately trigger the talisman, instantly turning it to ashes…
Yes, the “Protective Talisman” has no offensive effect, only a warning effect.
But for Fang Xing, it was very useful.
“A Protective Talisman is only effective for ten days… this one is almost depleted.”
Fang Xing replaced it with a new Protective Talisman, went into his bedroom, lay on the bed, covered himself with a blanket, and covered his head.
Naturally, there was more protection in the bedroom.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the temporary camp…”
With a flash of thought, Fang Xing had arrived at the temporary camp.
Underground cave.
He first checked the system monitoring log.
“Hm? Qinglinfang City is indeed in chaos… but this is…”
According to the monitoring, more than two months ago, the day after Fang Xing ordered the spread of rumors, Qingxuan Sect’s flying boat once again set out, heading towards Five Scorpion Valley!
“Considering the response of these ancient sects, their actions are a bit too fast?”
“Unless, the Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed at Qingxuan Sect already had suspicions and guesses in this regard, and acted immediately upon receiving the information?”
“En, Qingxuan Sect dispatched three flying boats, and only one returned on the fifth day…”
“Then on the sixth day, the city’s chaos intensified, and it seemed that Foundation Establishment cultivators were involved?”
Looking at the overhead view of Qinglinfang City and the monitoring video showing the full activation of the formation and the shadowy figures fighting within it, Fang Xing fell silent.
“For specific information… I’m afraid I have to ask someone…”
He gently tapped, and the Ink Pattern Sword appeared in his hand.
Even without refinement, this blood-refined weapon was the most durable and sharp he had ever seen!
Besides, the biggest gain from Chen Yi – the storage pouch – was still in the temporary camp, and he still couldn’t find a way to open it.
“With my equipment, I can fearlessly face even a Qi Refinement Completion cultivator, right?”
After putting on the nano protective suit, Fang Xing glanced at his attribute panel, and couldn’t help but feel a surge of confidence:
【Name: Fang Xing】
【Age: 17】
【Profession: Martial Artist】
【Second Realm: Muscles and Bones (Refine Bone: 51/100)】
【Military Boxing Twelve Forms: 20/200 (Proficient)】
【Great Dragon Stake: 198/200 (Proficient)】
【Tiger Subduing Stake: 9/200 (Proficient)】
【Ghost God Blade: 2/100 (Skilled)】
【Exquisite Emotion Sword: 95/100 (Beginner)】
【Gate of All Heavens (Charging)】
…
Two months of dedicated cultivation had led to rapid progress.
The Great Dragon Stake was almost at the fourth stage, on the verge of giving birth to Intent Realm!
In addition, due to Xia Long’s guidance, the Ghost God Blade progressed faster than the Exquisite Emotion Sword. The Military Boxing Twelve Forms, however, due to almost no training, had almost stagnated.
The Tiger Subduing Stake also reached proficiency, thanks to the Tiger Marrow Pill and Tiger Bone Wine. If it weren’t for the later depletion of cultivation resources, progress would have been even faster!
“The most crucial thing is my realm, which has broken through to the late Second Realm, beginning to Refine Bone… My foundation is so solid, that I made significant progress upon breaking through. With a little more training, the progress will be even faster…”
Fang Xing clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying force emanating from his limbs, and nodded with satisfaction: “I still need to break through my realm as soon as possible… A mere postnatal Martial Artist is not even considered mainstream in Qinglinfang City.”
“Hm?”
At this moment, he saw another group of cultivators approaching in the monitoring, and his eyes moved.
…
“Grandpa…”
Ding Hongxiu’s small face was dirty, with some bloodstains, and she looked anxiously at her grandfather.
Ding Bushan, still dressed as an elder, wearing a half-worn Taoist robe, his nose red from alcohol, was using his hands to cast incantations, controlling a low-grade magic weapon, a yellow gourd.
After the incantation was cast, the gourd immediately expanded several times, becoming the size of a water jar, protecting the grandfather and granddaughter. Balls of water emerged from the gourd’s mouth.
These water balls were not only very heavy but also carried a strong alcoholic scent. Getting too close made one feel slightly dizzy.
“Old Ding, we, the Black Annihilation Three Tigers, have been watching you for a long time. You can’t escape today!”
Three people surrounded Ding’s grandfather and granddaughter. The leader, a burly man in black, sneered, “Be sensible and just die, and we can spare your granddaughter’s life…”
“Haha, Brother, his granddaughter is really pretty. Let me have the first taste…”
Erhu looked at Ding Hongxiu with undisguised lewdness.
“This grandfather and granddaughter have been selling Spirit Rice for a long time, they must have saved a lot of Star Coins. We must make them hand them over… With this money, we can go to that secret realm and try our luck. Maybe the three of us can reach the Foundation Establishment stage!”
Sanhu was tall and thin, with a delicate appearance. He wasn’t interested in women but was very greedy. He was wielding a fan-shaped magic weapon, fanning away clouds of green wind, deflecting many water balls, and even dispersing the alcoholic scent…
“Damn it, I shouldn’t have been so greedy and ventured out of the city.” Seeing this, Ding Bushan felt his heart tremble, knowing that he and his granddaughter might not survive this.
The Black Annihilation Three Tigers were notorious robbers in the city. The fact that they were still alive despite being wanted by Qingxuan Sect naturally meant they possessed extraordinary skills!
Da Hu was a body cultivator, rumored to be able to fight Qi Refinement Late Stage cultivators with pure body cultivation!
Er Hu was skilled with a pair of bronze hammer magic weapons, invincible!
San Hu had the lowest cultivation but was cunning and ruthless!
“Go!”
At this moment, Erhu suddenly cast an incantation. Two bronze hammers, one left and one right, emitted yellow light, like two millstones, crashing down.
“Ah!”
Ding Hongxiu shrieked. A Protective Talisman in her hand exhausted its power and turned to ashes.
Bang bang!
Then, the two large hammers struck the yellow gourd, causing the magic weapon to wail and fall to the ground.
Whoosh!
The Black Annihilation Three Tigers cooperated seamlessly. After Er Hu and San Hu attacked, Da Hu’s figure flashed, appearing before Ding Bushan.
He didn’t need any magic weapons. He simply clenched his five fingers and punched fiercely at the Golden Bell Cover spell surrounding Ding Bushan.
Crack!
The Golden Bell wailed, revealing a crack.
Ding Bushan’s face flushed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
“Grandpa!”
Ding Hongxiu panicked, raised her hand, and activated a Fireball Talisman.
But the next moment, Da Hu sneered, slapped his hand, and a huge black illusion hand appeared, extinguishing the fireball with a single clap, turning it into wisps of smoke…
Bang!
Finally, the Golden Bell Cover spell burst, turning into countless golden lights, like golden fireflies, disappearing into the grass.
“Hehe…”
Er Hu strode forward, reaching for Ding Hongxiu.
He loved the look in little girls’ eyes, like little rabbits, making them even more fun to bully, completely different from the alluring women in the Listening Rain Tower!
Clang!
At this moment, the Black Annihilation Three Tigers suddenly heard a sword cry!
This sword cry contained an indescribable spiritual power, causing them to momentarily lose their minds, each recalling their most regrettable and profound emotional experiences…
Whizz!
An Ink Pattern Iron Sword suddenly appeared, its tip darting like a star, lightly touching the water shield around Er Hu, and the sharp blade easily pierced his protective spell, directly piercing his throat!
With one strike, the silver figure flashed again, like a celestial fairy descending from heaven, not directly targeting the most difficult Da Hu, but heading straight for San Hu.
“Brother… save me!”
San Hu just regained his senses, his eyes widening in fear. The light of his robe flashed, revealing a ball of light, forming a shield to block the sword.
Swish!
But the next moment, a blade of light flashed, directly cutting his throat…
