Chapter 351 - 95: Moving the Mountain
’Three moves...’
Fang Cheng looked at the charming and seductive Demon Race woman before him, silently sizing her up.
If she didn’t have any powerful Magical Artifacts, he could capture her in just three moves.
He looked at the Demoness and shouted in a deep voice, "Since when did this place have a master? How is it that I am unaware?"
The Demon Race woman’s beautiful eyes darted about. She gave him a flirtatious glance and said, "So it’s a Daoist friend from the Red Flame Immortal Palace. This place has already been claimed by Chi Konglie of the Sea Emperor Hall. He intends to build a private villa here."
She paused, then added, "A few years ago, I accompanied Chi Dao You to your esteemed sect’s Elder Yan Feng’s Grand Feast of a Hundred Puppets and a Thousand Illusions. Yan Feng also possesses a Tier Three Mechanical Armor like yours."
Fang Cheng keenly noticed that when this woman spoke of Sea Emperor Hall’s Chi Konglie, her expression was seventy percent pride and thirty percent tenderness.
"Chi Konglie... Is that the Sea Emperor’s Palace Prince Consort?" Fang Cheng recalled how Cang Wuya had once told him about the three great prodigies of the Life Talisman Realm in the Wilderness Domain, and this Sea Emperor’s Palace Prince Consort was one of them.
It was said that this demon had awakened his Ancient Red Blood Golden Flood Dragon Bloodline Talent and had been undefeated throughout the Demon Race. Aside from the enigmatic Sea Emperor, even the other Demon Kings in the Sea Emperor Hall were no match for him.
And this Demon Race woman before him clearly wasn’t a Princess of the Sea Emperor Hall, which left only one possibility—
This woman was the Prince Consort’s mistress!
The woman replied with a serious expression, "The very same Sea Emperor’s Palace Prince Consort."
Fang Cheng’s expression turned strange. If that was the case, didn’t that make this Primordial Qi Celestial Island a gilded cage for the Sea Emperor’s Palace Prince Consort’s mistress?
’This Prince Consort is really something else, to have a Tier Three Demon King as a mistress. It shows that not only are his Talent Divine Techniques formidable, but he must also have other... assets that charm the women of the Demon Race.’
As Fang Cheng was sizing up the woman, she was also sizing him up.
The Demon Race woman sensed the Sword Intent emanating from Fang Cheng. It felt overwhelmingly sharp, as if countless blades were pointed at her. The slightest wrong move would invite a ferocious, storm-like assault.
She was horrified.
Although she had only recently become a Tier Three Demon King, she had previously accompanied important figures of the Demon Race to many gatherings, trade fairs, and auctions held by Human Race Cultivators, so she had a decent understanding of them.
The man before her, clad in a rare Tier Three Mechanical Armor, only had a Life Talisman Cultivation, yet he gave her an extremely dangerous feeling.
Masters like him were as rare as a phoenix feather among the many Human Race Life Talisman Masters of the Wilderness.
Fang Cheng said, "I have yet to see this villa you speak of. It’s clear this island is still unclaimed land."
Perhaps the woman mentioned Chi Konglie’s name to intimidate him, but Fang Cheng wasn’t buying it.
The woman’s Liu Mei knitted slightly. Just as she was about to speak, a shocking surge of demonic aura erupted from the Primordial Qi Celestial Island, shooting straight into the sky, blotting out the sun with its brilliant, multicolored light.
From a distance, a cold voice called out, "Sister, come help me quickly."
Fang Cheng’s expression sharpened. "There’s someone else on the island... No, a Demon Cultivator?"
He gazed into the distance, and as if having discovered something, he couldn’t help but smile. "It seems your companion has run into some trouble on the island. Do you require my assistance?"
The Demon Race woman hesitated for a moment, then bit her red lip and said, "If you’re not afraid of offending Chi Konglie, then come along!"
With that, her full, supple waist twisted, and she transformed into a streak of demonic light, flying toward the island.
The woman thought to herself, ’He must know of Chi Lang’s reputation. He wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.’
Fang Cheng leisurely followed, and the two of them, one after the other, arrived on the Primordial Qi Celestial Island.
There, in a forest of towering trees that blotted out the sun, a woman in white, as cold and elegant as snow, stood in the air. Before her, an Eight-sided Exquisite Pagoda radiated light, suppressing two hundred-zhang-long giant pythons beneath it.
To the side, a Talisman hovered in the air, emitting a hazy green light that enveloped the area, cutting it off from the outside world.
If the two giant pythons hadn’t struggled and released that sky-piercing demonic aura, Fang Cheng would not have seen through the concealment.
This cold and elegant woman in white was actually a Tier Three Demon Cultivator as well!
This further confirmed Fang Cheng’s suspicions.
These two Female Demon Kings were clearly the Prince Consort’s mistresses. He must have sent them to occupy this island to build his private villa, his gilded cage.
The Eight-sided Exquisite Pagoda was clearly a Third-tier Demon Race Magical Artifact. Its aura was profound and unfathomable, and it was surprisingly effective at suppressing the giant pythons.
’I wonder if the Prince Consort gave them this pagoda and the concealing Talisman?’
While Fang Cheng was speculating, the two giant pythons struggled frantically, viciously ramming the Eight-sided Exquisite Pagoda. The cold and elegant Demon Race woman was clearly having trouble suppressing them on her own; the situation was on the verge of spiraling out of control.
The charming woman hurried over to help. The two’s Demon Power merged as smoothly as water and milk. Once combined, the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda’s might surged, viciously forcing the two giant pythons back down.
The cold demoness glanced at Fang Cheng a few times, her face showing wariness and gravity.
The charming demoness secretly sent a few words via voice transmission, after which the two women focused all their efforts on dealing with the giant pythons.
Under the two women’s full-power assault, the two ferocious giant pythons, which possessed the bloodline of a primeval variant species, gradually began to falter.
Fang Cheng clicked his tongue in amazement. This Exquisite Treasure Pagoda truly lived up to its reputation as a treasure from the Sea Emperor Hall; it was indeed extraordinary.
He watched leisurely from the sidelines for a while before retracting his gaze. With a flash, his figure vanished.
The two women were startled.
The older sister said, "Don’t mind him for now. Let’s finish suppressing these two brutes first."
The cold woman looked as if she wanted to say something, but after a glance around, she simply nodded.
Fang Cheng’s figure appeared at the edge of the Primordial Qi Celestial Island.
Unhurriedly, he took out a brilliant, silver Talisman. Channeling his Magical Power, he "stuck" the Talisman onto the Primordial Qi Celestial Island.
The Mountain Moving Talisman grew with the wind, instantly expanding to ten zhang in size and slowly descending onto the island.
As Fang Cheng’s astonishingly vast Magical Power surged into it, the Talisman burst with a blinding spiritual light.
With the Mountain Moving Talisman at its center, a soft silver light spread out like ripples on water, quickly enveloping the Primordial Qi Celestial Island.
The next moment, a sky-piercing spiritual light emerged.
With a sudden flash of light between heaven and earth, the massive Primordial Qi Celestial Island vanished.
All that remained was a brilliant, silver Talisman, hanging silently in the void.
Upon the Talisman was a hazy white phantom image, slowly rotating. Within the phantom was none other than the Primordial Qi Celestial Island.
Fang Cheng cast several Spells at the Mountain Moving Talisman, causing the Tier Three Talisman to shrink back to about a foot in size. Then, with a flick of his large sleeve, he put it away.
In the distance, the two Demon Race women and the two giant pythons all stared at Fang Cheng, stunned.
Clearly, neither side had expected this Human Race man to cause such a huge commotion and directly move and store away the Primordial Qi Celestial Island!
"It’s the Mountain Moving Talisman from the Celestial Talisman Sect!"
The Demon Race women exchanged a glance, and the older sister said through gritted teeth.
The cold and elegant younger sister’s Dai Mei knitted together. Without a word, she dispersed her Demon Power.
The two ferocious giant pythons under the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda were instantly freed.
The moment these two primeval variants were free, they didn’t counterattack the Demon Race women who had suppressed them. Instead, they charged straight for Fang Cheng, who had taken away their home...
These two giant pythons were top-tier brutes among Tier Three Demon Beasts. From a distance, they spewed a sky-full of poisonous smoke at Fang Cheng from their Open Mouths.
The enchanting woman stared intently at Fang Cheng and said, "Even the Sea Emperor Hall’s Demon Suppression Pagoda couldn’t easily take down these two brutes. This man is in for a world of hurt this time. When that happens, we’ll take the opportunity to snatch his Mountain Moving Talisman!"
The cold woman nodded. "This island is of great use to our husband. We cannot afford any more mistakes."
As they spoke, the two also flew forward.
Just then, a clear sword cry rang out between heaven and earth.
From the Cultivator clad in the Bronze Battle Armor, a sky-shattering sword light shot out, suddenly splitting into a thousand rays. A strange, chilling color like that of Purgatory spread across the sky, then weaved itself into the scene of a vast Nether Sea.
The waves rolled, vast and boundless.
It was as if a cold, vast, ghostly ocean had appeared in the sky, stretching to infinity.
Fang Cheng’s figure vanished within the sea of swords. The two plumes of poisonous smoke swept back and forth, but failed to force him out.
Instead, the two giant pythons were enveloped and drawn into the sea of swords.
The Nether Sea’s waves surged, and the Sword Intent soared, carrying with it a profound and far-reaching artistic conception.
Trapped in the sea of swords, the pythons’ ferocity was provoked. Under the onslaught of the sword light, they thrashed and collided, covered in blood, brazenly clashing with the incomparably sharp lights.
"You court death!"
Fang Cheng roared in anger. His body flickered and he merged as one with his Youhong Sword, disappearing without a trace.
And then...
An invisible sword light slashed straight through the Nether Sea, brutally cutting one of the giant pythons in two.
A tide of surging, pitch-black Demonic Light burst forth, enveloping the python’s corpse and beginning to refine it.
Seeing its companion fall, the other giant python fought even more desperately, and the entire sword diagram showed faint signs of collapse.
Not far away, the two sisters were shocked. If they didn’t act now and let this mysterious master slay the other giant python, they would lose their chance to seize the Mountain Moving Talisman.
In a flash, the two women summoned the Demon Suppression Pagoda and brought it down upon the Nether Diagram’s sea of swords.
BOOM!
The Nether Diagram’s sea of swords suddenly shattered, scattering into countless rays of sword light.
Fang Cheng appeared beneath the Demon Suppression Pagoda, his gaze fixed coldly on the two women.
The enchanting woman shouted, "Fellow Daoist, hand over the Mountain Moving Talisman now!"
Before she could finish, the remaining giant python opened its massive, blood-red maw and lunged, trying to swallow Fang Cheng whole.
The two women also attacked him at the same time.
Fang Cheng let out a soft cry. With a wave of his hand, he summoned three Magical Artifacts at once.
The Youhong Sword, a golden bell, and the Immortal Binding Rope!
First, sword light flashed out, forming rings of light that trapped the giant python.
He could have used his incredibly fast sword-body fusion technique again to slay the giant python in one blow, but that move consumed too much Magical Power and would have left him vulnerable to the two Female Cultivators.
After the golden bell appeared, it let out a tremendous BANG, the sound echoing across the sky.
A terrifyingly powerful soundwave crashed toward the two women. The demonic light around their bodies flickered erratically, and their auras instantly weakened to a critical point. They were thrown back a hundred zhang, unable to advance.
Finally, the Immortal Binding Rope flew out and gently wrapped itself around the Demon Suppression Pagoda.
The light of the Third-tier Magical Artifact, the Demon Suppression Pagoda, suddenly dimmed. Although it only lasted for two or three breaths, for Fang Cheng, it was enough.
He struck like lightning. With a fierce tug, he pulled the Demon Suppression Pagoda toward him and slapped it with his palm, erasing the Demon Power imprints on it.
The two women had only borrowed this Magical Artifact, so their refinement of it was not deep.
Fang Cheng was well-versed in such matters, which was why he had acted so decisively.
He struck it with a second palm, leaving his own Magical Power imprint on the Demon Suppression Pagoda. He then activated the treasure and sent it to suppress the giant python.
Struck by the Demon Suppression Pagoda, the giant python’s aura plummeted as if it had been naturally countered.
Then, a brilliant sword light flashed, severing the giant python in an instant.
By the time the two women recovered from the massive bell toll, they found themselves facing a wall of sharp Sword Auras.
