Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2223 - 2205: Continue…

"Bang!"

With a thunderous sound, Elder Jia’s figure violently retreated as if struck by some immense hammer, leaving a cloud of blood mist in the air. Blood streamed from his forehead, flashing crimson in the light.

He was truly bewildered, utterly clueless about what had happened. The space appeared empty, yet he felt he had slammed into an unyieldingly hard wall, resulting in serious injuries without any preparation. His head seemed on the verge of exploding, as his chest heaved, and blood surged...

"Now you understand, there’s no escape for you!"

The burly man known as Boss looked at the dazed Elder Jia and said with a smile. Just as he finished speaking, his expression turned cold, and a golden dagger appeared in his hand. With a fierce wave, an immense golden Sword Gang, hundreds of feet wide, flew towards Elder Jia, threatening to slice through the heavens and earth! Its speed was astonishingly fast, enveloping its path in golden light like a wall dividing the sky!

Elder Jia, still in shock, suddenly felt a surge of alertness, but the golden Sword Gang had already reached him before he could react. In an instant, he was enveloped by the golden Sword Gang, disappearing from the world.

The golden Sword Gang flew onward for several miles before dissipating, leaving behind a trench several miles long and several yards wide on the ground.

In the sky, two burly men smiled, their appearances morphing simultaneously to reveal their true selves: Li Xing and Fang Yan, who had altered their looks using a special Secret Technique.

"Fang Yan, that move was brilliant. You’ve nearly wiped out thirty people effortlessly, including an Earth Immortal Elder. I can’t thank you enough; if it weren’t for you, I’d never believe this possible." Li Xing remarked to Fang Yan, smiling with admiration, noting Fang Yan’s godlike Formation and potent poison as well as their cunning strategies, rendering them nearly impossible to counter.

"Indeed, it took no effort, but the resources were drained significantly. The Formation that trapped the Earth Immortal and the Poisonous Dark Dragon Qi-Devouring Powder were costly, enough left for only one more trap like this." Fang Yan looked at Li Xing with exasperation. The strategy was effective, but the consumption was too great for continuous use; otherwise, he’d gladly keep eliminating Holy Soul Sect members.

"Only enough materials for two such traps?" Li Xing’s eyes widened at Fang Yan’s words. He hadn’t realized the consumption was so high, considering he’d amassed materials worth tens of millions of Spirit Stones for Fang Yan; using materials worth this much for two traps seemed excessive and hard to believe.

"It’s true; nearly thirty people were involved. You think a simple Formation would’ve sufficed to trap them?" Fang Yan responded calmly, feeling the pressure to replenish the spent resources.

"I..." Li Xing finally understood Fang Yan’s explanation. Indeed, such a formidable trap couldn’t be assembled with a mere Formation, and its consumption was extraordinary. If things proceeded like this, they’d be able to make only one more move before leaving, unable to face dozens of Human Immortal Realm Peak figures directly.

At that moment, a thought struck Li Xing, suddenly brightening his eyes as he flew down, searching the ground. Soon, he returned, holding about ten Space Bags.

"Shame about the thrill of the fight earlier, not considering everything; only these Space Bags were salvaged, the others likely destroyed. Look, see how much you can replenish." Li Xing admitted, realizing he should have been less aggressive so more bags would be left intact.

Fang Yan’s eyes gleamed at the Space Bags, noting that sustaining warfare this way was clever. As he examined the bags, he realized that only Elder Jia’s Space Bag contained valuable items; the rest held ordinary possessions, indicating these individuals left their important treasures at their Sect when preparing for the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain.

"You handle these." Fang Yan kept Elder Jia’s Space Bag, handing the others to Li Xing to manage.

Li Xing was puzzled, thinking Holy Soul Sect members wouldn’t be so poorly equipped, but after checking the bags, he was speechless. They were penniless, bringing so little! But given the circumstances, there was not much more to say, so he tucked the bags into his waist, suggesting to Fang Yan, "Let’s move. If we pass a city, I’ll visit the market to dispose of these items."

Fang Yan nodded, taking hold of Li Xing and then employing Thousand Miles in One Step...

An hour later, Fang Yan and Li Xing reached a large city, confirming cultivator-markets within. Fang Yan let Li Xing down to handle matters while he searched for other Holy Soul Sect members.

Li Xing, carrying the Space Bags, went directly to the market, skipping stalls or setups and heading to the auction house to inquire about the prices in the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain.

The shopkeeper greeted Li Xing warmly, and after a brief discussion, offered prices for the Space Bags. To Li Xing’s surprise, the scarcity of space equipment made such bags very valuable here.

But Li Xing chose not to sell them for Spirit Stones immediately, instead inquiring about materials Fang Yan needed. Soon, the shopkeeper produced a quote sheet, allowing Li Xing to search for necessary materials while haggling obstinately.

Hours passed, and upon leaving the auction house, Li Xing wore a smile. The Space Bags didn’t fetch much, but he sold them at a high price, avoiding significant loss, able to endure the minor deficit.

"How did it go?"

A figure appeared before Li Xing: Fang Yan, who asked, puzzled by Li Xing’s smile upon exiting the auction house.

"Come, I’ll tell you privately," responded Li Xing, pulling Fang Yan away.

Once airborne and secluded, Li Xing shared the auction events with Fang Yan, receiving laughter in return. Fang Yan hadn’t expected such scarcity of space equipment in the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain, which turned out to be fantastic news for them.

"That last city wasn’t large, perhaps not the best. It’s okay if we sold some; next time we gather Space Bags, we’ll find a bigger city to get more value." Fang Yan suggested, acknowledging that sustaining warfare through such sales wasn’t bad.

"Of course," Li Xing replied, smiling, then questioning, "Did you locate the Holy Soul Sect members?"

"I did, and I’ll take you there now along with explaining our next plan." Fang Yan decided to fly with Li Xing as they traveled, sharing the detailed plan he’d devised.

Once Li Xing heard Fang Yan’s plan, his eyes almost popped out, speechless at Fang Yan’s cunning. He thought himself lucky to be with Fang Yan rather than opposed, as Fang Yan’s cunning could lead to a fate unknown to him.

A smile crept across his face, truly eager to see the expressions of Holy Soul Sect members when the time came...

......

Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain, Huanglong Valley.

The Huanglong Sect, a major sect, faced calamity as dozens of unknown powerhouses waged assault, leaving the sect’s grand Formation teetering on collapse due to fierce conflict. If breached, Huanglong Sect would undergo devastation!

Sect Master Feng Risheng watched helplessly, aware that even with all their might, they couldn’t withstand the many attacking sect members. Just as the Formation seemed about to fail, his desperation was palpable.

As urgency brewed without solution, a hundred-year-old elder suddenly appeared before him, suggesting, "I have a way to avoid excessive casualties within the sect. Will you agree, Sect Master?"

Startled, Feng Risheng looked at the elder, amazed by his sudden presence despite the active grand Formation. He couldn’t fathom the elder’s arrival, but amidst crisis, concern for the sect’s fate overshadowed all else. Feng Risheng quickly asked, "What do you propose? Speak freely, please."
