Chapter 153: Chapter 135: Banner, Ruler, Rope (Part 2)

The Dragon Abyss Sword struck the Golden Grand Bell, letting out a sharp CLANG!

The next moment, the sword’s light focused, and the Golden Grand Bell shattered.

Wang Yuntian’s figure flashed back like lightning, the stern look on his face completely gone.

That Talisman was a Protective Talisman bestowed upon him by a family elder, capable of blocking a full-powered strike from a Life Talisman Cultivator. To think it had been broken just like that.

He focused his gaze and saw that Fang Cheng’s aura had also plummeted. The man was holding a lustrous, radiant Upper-Grade Spirit Stone overflowing with Spiritual Qi, using it to recover his Magical Power.

’A sword move of that magnitude... he can’t use it many times...’

Just as this thought flashed through Wang Yuntian’s mind, he was about to speak and call a stop to the fight so they could all go their separate ways.

Suddenly, a flash of sword light shot out from the corner of his eye, streaking through the void and wrapping around toward Fang Cheng’s neck.

It was Zhou Xueyu, who had seized the opportunity to strike at Fang Cheng!

Fang Cheng sneered. He flicked his finger, sending out a beam of sword light that easily intercepted Zhou Xueyu’s Sword Aura. "What’s this?" he taunted. "Can’t win a one-on-one, so you’re ganging up on me?"

Zhou Xueyu said coldly, "You killed my brother. You’ll pay with your life. Enough talk!"

With that, her sword’s light flared. She took advantage of Fang Cheng’s weakened Magical Power to unleash a deadly blow.

Seeing this, Wang Yuntian’s eyes flickered, but he did not intervene.

And far behind Fang Cheng, a woman with a fiery figure and a black veil suddenly appeared in the empty air.

Without a word, she summoned a jade ruler and sent it flying toward the center of Fang Cheng’s back.

If any Cultivators from the Flame God Palace were present, they would have recognized this jade ruler at a glance.

It was none other than the famous Magical Artifact from the "Mysterious Fire Record," the Primordial Yang Ruler!

The power of this treasure was no less than that of the Fire Crow Gourd; the latter simply focused more on scale and Arrays.

This Primordial Yang Ruler was of the Second-class Rank. Propelled by Bai Su Yi’s full power, it left a trail of searing firelight as it shot straight for Fang Cheng’s back.

Fang Cheng’s Sword Heart Clarity made alarm bells ring in his mind. He immediately took out the Second-class Rank Crimson Greatsword he had obtained from killing Yang Zhe, gripped it with both hands, turned, and swung it to block.

BOOM!

A blinding flare of fire exploded. A massive, dense, and dazzling Fire Cloud materialized out of thin air, and the searing heat it radiated spread out in all directions, as if it would melt the very void.

It was as if a second "great sun" had appeared in the sky. Bathed in its fiery light, Wang Yuntian, Zhou Xueyu, and the others felt an oppressive wave of heat and couldn’t help but retreat.

The four of them watched Bai Su Yi with wary eyes, their expressions grave.

Bai Su Yi’s beautiful eyes flickered. She gave Wang Yuntian’s group a seemingly casual glance but said nothing.

Her goal was not simply to kill Fang Cheng and avenge her fellow sect member; she also intended to seize the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Dew from him.

At that moment, the five of them stared intently at the blaze.

Suddenly, a tall figure strode proudly out of the Fire Cloud.

The figure was over ten feet tall. His clothes had been completely burned away, but his body was utterly unharmed. A faint golden light flowed across his skin. On his chest, more than a dozen flame-like patterns pulsed and contracted. His bulging muscles were as gnarled as tree roots, containing an unparalleled and terrifying physical power.

He held the Crimson Greatsword. His powerful and terrifyingly muscular body was on full display as he stood tall and proud, glaring coldly at Bai Su Yi with murder in his eyes.

The five onlookers were stunned, their hearts churning like massive waves. Even the ever-arrogant Wang Yuntian now felt a deep sense of dread, and a strange feeling of jealousy crept into his heart.

Bai Su Yi’s heart leaped in alarm as Fang Cheng’s gaze swept over her. "Attack together!" she cried out.

As she spoke, she once again sent the Primordial Yang Ruler striking toward the top of Fang Cheng’s head.

Wang Yuntian added, "Since it has come to this, let’s attack together! Leave no loose ends!"

The four of them all attacked at once, sending streams of multicolored light surging toward Fang Cheng.

Fang Cheng let out a long cry, his fighting spirit soaring. He laughed heartily. "Bring it on!"

He pointed a finger, and a shimmering golden rope shot out silently. It darted about like a flash of lightning, appearing before Bai Su Yi in the blink of an eye.

The woman’s face filled with horror. Just as she was about to use the same trick again—the Fire Crow Escape Technique—a layer of blackish-green energy suddenly surfaced on her face, and an unbearable pain erupted from within her body.

The Poison Gu!

In an instant, the Immortal Binding Rope coiled around her.

The Immortal Binding Rope wrapped and knotted itself, and in the blink of an eye, it had tied several diamond-shaped patterns across her curvaceous body.

All of Bai Su Yi’s Magical Power was forcibly sealed away by the Immortal Binding Rope.

At the same time, Fang Cheng pushed out with his hand. Magical Power spread from his palm, coalescing into a round mirror!

On the back of the mirror, five complex and exquisite rings of runes circled an ancient, eye-shaped sigil, emitting a shocking demonic aura. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The mirror shot out a bizarre beam of pink light that ignored all obstacles and struck Zhou Xueyu directly.

The Red Nether Condensing Light!

Zhou Xueyu’s vision went black. Then, within that boundless darkness, a huge, narrow eye suddenly opened.

A soft, tantalizing, peach-pink hue seeped from the eye’s pupil. It was so bewitching that one couldn’t bear to look away.

A thick, sweet fragrance also wafted toward her!

As she smelled the strange, heavy fragrance, a heat flared in her mind. Her eyes glazed over with a reddish sheen, and her face flushed as if, in that single moment, she had experienced countless amorous encounters.

The strange thing was, the male protagonist in these amorous and sensual "experiences" was not her Dao companion, Wang Yuntian, but...

Fang Cheng!

In an instant, her mind was filled with the image of Fang Cheng’s powerful and sturdy figure.

In the eyes of the others, the moment the mirror’s pink light hit Zhou Xueyu, her pretty face flushed red and her expression became coy. She hesitated in her attacks, and the look she gave Fang Cheng became incredibly complex, a mixture of shame and hatred.

Seeing this, Wang Yuntian’s expression immediately darkened.

The other two members of the Wang Family—one who cultivated the Nine Netherworlds Fire and another who practiced the "Celestial Ghost Talisman Scripture"—both attacked with impressive momentum, but the threat they posed to Fang Cheng was far less than that of Bai Su Yi and Wang Yuntian.
