Chapter 216: 143. Breaking the Leakproof Realm, brutally beating Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun (4K big Chapter)
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun and Blood Snake King Dai Feng arrived near the Unaging Spring, ready to open the Cave Mansion as promised and release Xu Xing after his three years of self-imposed seclusion.
However, just as they were about to cast a spell to open the Cave Mansion, they saw a pair of arms, seemingly forged from white jade, easily punch through its door. With an upward and downward pull, the sturdy entrance was ripped open as if it were made of tofu, creating an opening large enough for several people to pass through.
Huge rocks tumbled as the Cave Mansion entrance collapsed.
By the time the dust settled, a young man in a blue scholar’s robe stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Xu Xing?"
Blood Snake King Dai Feng’s pupils contracted.
When the Cave Mansion entrance was breached, he had considered rushing forward to investigate. However, Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun quickly stopped him. She explained that whoever had shattered the door so effortlessly had to possess at least a Leakproof Realm cultivation, warning him against acting recklessly.
The two of them then stood still near the Unaging Spring, waiting, not rushing forward impulsively.
However, despite their earlier speculations, the one who had broken down the door was none other than Xu Xing—the very person they had "captured" three years prior.
He still found it hard to believe.
Even if one cultivated from the womb, it was impossible to reach the Celestial Human Realm at such a young age.
Shooting Sun Marquis Wuyi was already considered a prodigy. However, his progress was traceable: he had first received the blood of the Ink Qilin from the Universal Salvation Religion and later obtained a great opportunity at Moyun Palace.
What about Xu Xing? He was a complete mystery.
Judging by Xu Xing’s features and bone age, he was no more than twenty.
Could it be that Xu Xing is the reincarnation of Kou Chun? This idea suddenly surfaced in Blood Snake King Dai Feng’s mind.
However, he quickly shook his head and dismissed the thought. If Xu Xing were merely at the Totem Realm or the Blood Change Realm, he might have believed Xu Xing to be the reincarnation of Demon Immortal Kou Chun. But the Leakproof Realm was already on par with a Seven Tribulations Ghost Immortal. It was highly unlikely for Demon Immortal Kou Chun to reach such a state, even with immense fortuitous encounters.
"Sir..." Blood Snake King Dai Feng frowned, intending to probe with a few questions.
However, before he could finish speaking, Xu Xing suddenly exploded into motion, rocketing towards him and Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun like a streaking arrow. In less than a breath, he had closed the distance to within three steps.
Simultaneously, he drew the Gentleman’s Sword from his waist and slashed viciously at Dai Feng’s neck. The razor-sharp edge grazed Dai Feng’s skin, making him feel as if his head would be cleaved in two, flesh and bone, in the very next instant.
"Seeking death!" Blood Snake King Dai Feng exclaimed, hastily retreating half a step. His neck contorted unnaturally, stretching backward like a python’s, extending roughly three zhang. As a result, Xu Xing’s Gentleman’s Sword merely grazed the skin on his neck.
Reacting swiftly, he simultaneously drew a blood-red curved blade from his sleeve, aiming to hook Xu Xing’s right arm.
However, his reaction was still a beat too slow. Warriors of the Leakproof Realm had far swifter reactions than a Seven Tribulations Ghost Immortal’s Refined Corpse.
Xu Xing had already closed in on Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun. He pressed the long sword that had missed Blood Snake King Dai Feng downward, stabbing it diagonally towards Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun’s heart at a tricky angle.
However, Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun was also prepared. Two Emei Stingers appeared in her jade-like hands. Her lithe body arched backward as one Emei Stinger shot from her grasp, guided by her Divine Sense towards Xu Xing’s back, while the other met Xu Xing’s attack in close combat.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
In the span of three breaths, the two exchanged numerous blows in rapid succession. They were almost completely enveloped in a blur of flashing blades.
Although Xu Xing primarily cultivated the Immortal Path, his attainments in martial arts were by no means shallow. Not to mention the Guanxi Wuji Knife learned in the first instance world, the two Innate Level footwork techniques, along with the martial arts classics from various sects along the Guanxi Road in Fengxi Country, were enough to make his close-quarters combat nearly perfect.
Moreover, he was a Leakproof Realm warrior fighting two Seven Tribulations Ghost Immortals at close range. Within fifty steps, his Martial Dao was truly supreme!
"Descent of the Three-Worlds Bright King Seal!"
Suddenly, Xu Xing lunged, closing the distance to Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun to within a single step. Seeing Xu Xing seemingly expose a flaw, Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun’s eyes lit up. She manipulated the two Emei Stingers to strike at Xu Xing’s vital points, each thrust brimming with deadly intent, each move lethal.
Just then, lines of golden light emerged around Xu Xing’s body, transforming into a ten-foot tall Eight-Armed Bright King Form.
The eight golden arms of the Eight-Armed Bright King Form reached out to grab Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun.
Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun had never witnessed such a bizarre Cultivation Method; her scalp prickled. Realizing she was dangerously close—within half a step of Xu Xing—she thought, This is bad! Just as she prepared for a hasty retreat, the eight arms of the Eight-Armed Bright King Dharma Form shot out, ensnaring her wrists and ankles.
Her two remotely controlled Emei Stingers were also intercepted by the Eight-Armed Bright King Dharma Form.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Blood Snake King Dai Feng had intended to find an opening to intervene. However, to his astonishment, Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun was defeated and captured in mere moments, so quickly that he barely had time to react.
BOOM!
A Cannon Fist!
Showing no mercy for her beauty, Xu Xing slammed a Cannon Fist into Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun’s abdomen.
His movements were lightning-fast. Before Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun could break free from her shackles, he attacked relentlessly, focusing only on inflicting injury with a barrage of fists and kicks. In mere moments, he had beaten her so severely that she was left gasping for breath, her body arched like a shrimp, on the verge of vomiting blood and dying.
At that very moment, the Eight-Armed Bright King Dharma Form could no longer restrain Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun. Two white fox tails erupted from her back and, with a sweep, dispersed the Dharma Form into motes of golden light that flowed back into Xu Xing’s body.
Then, Blood Snake King Dai Feng seized the moment Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun created distance from Xu Xing. He manipulated his blood-red curved blade, preparing to use Thousand-mile Owl to take Xu Xing’s head from afar.
