Carefree Path Of Dreams

The left and right guardians of the Demon Sect watched Fang Tianhan"s every moment with an eagle eye.

"Don"t worry. Even if our combined strength isn"t a match for a perfection-stage opponent, we can use the terrain to our advantage and hold him back for a while. This"ll be enough time for the grand guardian to come over!"

The left guardian said confidently, "I can guarantee that there is no way out for Fang Tianhan by himself! Moreover, we are the Demon Sect! Which perfection-stage martial artist would dare court death against the Demon Emperor? Wait for the Divine Monk and the Heavenly Sword Sect Master? Hehe… they are too far away and possibly even training in seclusion. Who knows what year it"ll be by the time they make it here…"

The Unparalleled Demon Emperor was at the top of the Martial Roll, and his might was known throughout the world.

The Divine Monk and the Heavenly Sword Sect Master were second and third respectively. Although they were slightly weaker than the Demon Emperor in a one-on-one fight, they could match or even defeat the Demon Emperor if they joined forces. The fate of the righteous side of the Pugilistic World resided with them.

However, the left and right guardians were clear about the circ.u.mstances.

Fang Tianhan"s connections with the top experts were only average, and ordinary perfection-stage martial artists would not dare come since most of them would only be courting death.

Those G.o.d-tier experts who could save him were either indifferent or too far away.

In other words, the chance of him surviving was nonexistent.

"As for the n.o.ble Mountain Sect, excluding Fang Tianhan, there are only a few that can hold their own. I heard that the grand guardian had even gifted the grand elder a bottle of Primordial Enhancement Pills, but he still failed to control the situation. He"s also a useless piece of trash. After finis.h.i.+ng this matter at Eagle End Peak, we should rush over there and destroy the sect!"

The left guardian grinned nastily. "I haven"t destroyed a top sect before."

Swoos.h.!.+

While they were exchanging voice transmissions, they suddenly heard the sound of cloth flapping in the wind.

"Hmm? Who is it?"

They were battle-hardened and experienced and immediately put their backs against each other. One faced the pathway, and the other the rear.

"Guardians?" A group of Demon Sect disciples gathered around them.

"Die!" A figure hiding among the disciples burst out and attacked with his palms.

Whoosh whoos.h.!.+

A cold wind began blowing, as though the surroundings had transformed into a world of ice and snow.

"Sheer Cold Divine Formula! Intent of Cold? A hidden perfection-stage expert from the n.o.ble Mountain Sect?" The right guardian thought quickly before shouting angrily, "Go all out!"

They did not have the slightest leeway to think of other things when facing a perfection-stage opponent.

"Okay!" the left guardian answered, and they connected their cultivation power through their backs.

The left and right guardians achieved their high position in the Demon Sect not only through reaching peak Connate but also with a combination battle technique called Brothers Together. Using this technique, they were able to connect their inner force and hold up even against someone at the perfection stage for a while.

Bang!

Four palms connected. The right guardian felt a chilling intent penetrating his body, but the inner force was not too strong. He was ecstatic. "We have a chance!"

Unfortunately, taking advantage of the moment when his body froze from receiving the Cold Intent, the figure sent out another four palm attacks in a split second.

"Hold on! The grand guardian is on his way!"

The right guardian repeatedly fell back while taking on continuous strikes.

But the next moment, his back felt empty, and a scream came. He trembled. "Not good. Behind me is…"

Smack!

While distracted, he received a palm attack on his chest, sending him flying backward into the gorge behind.

Even for perfection-stage martial artists, falling from this height was fatal.

"They had greater cultivation power than me, but my intent was more powerful. The fight was indeed time-consuming, but behind them was a cliff, which was advantageous for me!"

After succeeding in his attack, Fang Yuan blitzed past the path in a few steps without stopping.

Behind him, an aura full of rage and flames seemed to be close at hand.

"Who?"

The commotion had naturally alerted Fang Tianhan.

He stood guard at the end of the bridge and sensed Fang Yuan rus.h.i.+ng over. He was about to attack, but after clearly seeing the face, he was incomparably astonished. He sent a palm attack behind Fang Yuan. "Poison Fire Demon Lord!"

"Hmph!" A cold snort came, and the clash of fire and ice True Qi exploded in midair. A black figure quickly retreated, taking a few steps to return to the Demon Sect disciples. "Fang Tianhan! Good! Let"s see how long you can last!"

After all, Sun Yan did not want to die. If he were to fight Fang Tianhan on the narrow path with a sheer cliff on either side, the other party could possibly end the fight in mutual destruction.

"The left and right guardians were really useless… Being forced off the cliff after just a few rounds! Who is it exactly? Is it the Great River Alliance Leader, Xuan Tianzi?"

He stared at the other side and was suddenly shocked.

Because there was a young man not even in his thirties.

"Xu"er… how come it"s you and your martial arts?" Fang Tianhan was surprised and happy.

"I comprehended intent and luckily broke through. Where"s the thousand-year Cold Heart Vine?" Fang Yuan asked directly.

"Here!" Fang Tianhan took out a green vine from his sleeve. There was a naturally-formed pattern on its surface. "A thousand-year spiritual treasure indeed. Its Cold Intent is restrained and instead gives people a feeling of warmth!"

Even hundred-year-old spiritual treasures were extremely rare in this world. For example, the hundred-year Cold Fruits that Fang Yuan had consumed earlier was the sect treasure of the n.o.ble Mountain Sect.

As for thousand-year ones, they were even more valuable.

Due to the nomological rules of this world, even ginseng, tuber fleeceflower, and so on would gradually petrify and lose their medicinal properties if they reached a thousand years.

It was only under chance coincidences that treasures could obtain a bit of heaven and earth energy to grow into thousand-year spiritual medicines. They were tempting to even G.o.d-tier experts.

This was because consuming thousand-year medicines had a thirty to forty percent chance of increasing the comprehension of intent!

Although the descriptions of its effects were vague, they were tempting enough to drive ordinary Connate martial artists crazy.

Of course, consuming the thousand-year Cold Heart Vine also protected the soul from the influence of mental demons, prevented backlashes, and greatly increased inner force. These effects had all been proven.

"Your mother and I accidentally found this on our travels. We were overjoyed and harvested it immediately, intending to give it to you. Unfortunately…" Fang Tianhan shook his head and sighed.

Although his son had become extremely strong, he did not suspect his ident.i.ty in the slightest.

This was because perfection-stage martial artists were able to extend their intent to the external world and sense many things, including souls and auras. Even the best disguise could not change the soul.

"Great. Let me eat it, and then we"ll fight our way together!"

Fang Yuan received the Cold Heart Vine and immediately chomped it as though he were chewing a sugar cane.

"Ah… you little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how dare you?" Poison Fire Demon Lord Sun Yan"s eyes turned red. "Get the archers!"

"Grand Guardian, do you want to kill them?" a Demon Sect disciple asked.

"Idiot!!" Sun Yan smacked him down to the ground. "At this distance, even ordinary Connates can dodge arrows. Only those shot by archers specially trained in the Archery Dao in our sect would have any effect. Bring a bunch of fire-repeating crossbows as well!"

Of course, to muster such a large force would not only be time-consuming, but the righteous side would certainly respond as well.

"Block the path. If they try to come over, fire! Aim at the path. At close range, they won"t be able to dodge the arrows no matter how nimble they are!"

Sun Yan stared at Fang Yuan, who began meditating cross-legged. His eyes flashed fiercely. "So that"s the dandy son of Fang Tianhan, Fang Xu? Something seems off. He should be at the perfection stage if he was able to overpower the left and right guardians in a head-on fight… Well, since you swallowed my Cold Heart Vine, I will swallow your inner force. The Cold Ice True Primordial Qi of both father and son will be able to suppress my backlash and increase my strength as well."

"A thousand-year spiritual treasure is indeed miraculous!"

Fang Yuan felt the change of the True Primordial Qi in his body while meditating cross-legged.

If the essence of the hundred-year Cold Fruit was like a gently flowing stream, then the boost of this thousand-year spiritual treasure was like a raging river.

However, with his mental control, he could digest even ten-thousand-year spiritual treasures without a problem.

Suddenly, his True Primordial Qi surged and condensed under the Cold Intent, eventually taking a solid pill-shaped form with dark-blue frost patterns on top.

"Connate inner core? The formation of the core signifies peak Connate!"

Fang Yuan nodded. "Comprehending a Martial Dao True Intent after reaching peak Connate is Connate perfection… But since I have already taken this step, I am a Connate perfection martial artist now."

Even under the seal, his insight and comprehension were unparalleled.

It had taken mere days after awakening his true self to achieve strength near the pinnacle of this world! This was the terror of Demon G.o.ds.

By now, Fang Yuan had absolute confidence in himself. Even if he were to lose everything, including the stats window cheat, he would be able to rise quickly in any mortal world.

After breaking through, he walked toward the narrow path. "Poison Fire Demon Lord, I want to fight you one-on-one. Do you dare take me on?"

"Hold your fire and let him come." Sun Yan"s expression was cold. "You want to fight me one-on-one? How brave!"

He was secretly ecstatic. He doesn"t know what true power is, so he believes that the perfection stage is impressive? Even his father is no match for me. Very well. I"ll take him down first and then use him as a hostage.

"Xu"er!" Fang Tianhan shouted anxiously. However, Fang Yuan gestured with his eye to make him drawback.

"Tsk Tsk… Sun Yan, what a sorry sight. You were unable to take down a mere Fang Tianhan after so much time." A creepy voice emerged, but there was no trace, making Sun Yan"s expression change.

"Vice Sect Master?"

"Hurry up and take down that brat. I"ll make sure that Fang Tianhan can"t come over!" the creepy voice transmitted.

"Okay!" Sun Yan was immediately overjoyed. He had been a little worried that the brat would risk his life to pin him down while Fang Tianhan charged across.

However, reinforcements from the Demon Sect had finally arrived.

While this vice sect master ranked even lower than him on the Martial Roll, his a.s.sa.s.sination abilities were the best in the world. Even the top ten feared him.

As things stood, there was no chance for failure.
