Chapter 196: Chapter 156: Fang Xiu and Kajimi Go on a Rampage
Yue Tianrui smiled and said, "The day I became an Awakened and joined the Awakening Hall, I was prepared for this... COUGH COUGH. It’s a great honor to die protecting humanity!"
"It is a great honor, but to live and continue protecting humanity is even more honorable!"
Fang Xiu said.
As long as you’re alive, there’s always a chance.
It was a simple truth that everyone understood.
"I’m afraid... I’m afraid I’m out of chances... COUGH COUGH..."
Yue Tianrui said between coughs, "You created this, didn’t you? It’s very effective at healing wounds, but... my body is already broken beyond repair. Even if the superficial wounds heal now, I won’t make it."
During his battle with the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake, Yue Tianrui had been struck many times.
His bones were broken, his meridians were shattered, and even his internal organs were damaged.
He couldn’t survive these injuries, even if the wounds themselves closed.
Yue Tianrui knew this well. He knew his own body better than anyone.
Hearing this, Fang Xiu clenched his fists.
He knew it, too. The Sea of Healing, much like a healing potion, could only treat visible wounds.
But the internal damage they caused required a long, slow recovery period to heal completely.
And the injuries Yue Tianrui had sustained needed to be treated immediately.
"Once the superficial wounds are healed, I’ll take you back, Headmaster. You can recover slowly. You’ll definitely get better!"
Fang Xiu said to Yue Tianrui.
Hearing this, Yue Tianrui just shook his head.
He knew his own condition.
There was no time left for a slow recovery.
"COUGH COUGH..."
Yue Tianrui reached out and took the string of beads from around his neck.
He pulled Fang Xiu’s hand over and pressed the beads into it. "This string of beads was a gift from my father. I have no children of my own. Didn’t you want to... COUGH COUGH... Sacrifice it to the Goddess of Life before? Take it. Let it be my final gift to you."
"Headmaster... The Goddess of Life doesn’t want this anymore, but... I do!"
Fang Xiu knew.
With the passage of time, the string of beads could no longer be used for the Sacrifice.
But now, Fang Xiu gripped the beads in his hand tightly.
"It doesn’t matter... Just keep it. As a memento. But you have to promise me... one thing!"
Yue Tianrui looked at Fang Xiu, his eyes pleading.
Fang Xiu nodded. "Go on, Headmaster. If I can do it, I will."
"Good... I want you... to bury my body at the entrance to the Demon Beast Realm. I... I want to stand guard here. To watch, and to wait for the day this Demon Beast Realm is finally destroyed!"
Yue Tianrui gripped Fang Xiu’s hand, his voice weak.
"The entrance?"
Fang Xiu knew this was the Demon Beast Realm.
The number of Demon Beasts here was immense. If he buried the Headmaster here... he was afraid...
"I know what you’re worried about... Don’t be. When the time comes, cremate my body. Just bury my ashes at the exit..."
Yue Tianrui said to Fang Xiu.
Hearing this, Fang Xiu hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "Yes, I understand, Headmaster."
"Heh heh... From now on... it’s all up to you and Old Zhao. I was hoping to see the Demon Beast... Realm for myself, but now... now... I’m afraid I won’t get the chance."
A faint smile appeared on Yue Tianrui’s face when he saw Fang Xiu agree.
He looked relieved.
Fang Xiu was very strong.
It was just a shame he wouldn’t be there to see the day Fang Xiu slaughtered every last Demon Beast.
"Rest assured, Headmaster. I’ll go to the Demon Beast Realm in your stead."
Fang Xiu had wanted to go for a long time.
After all, Zhao Yao had told him his parents went to the Demon Beast Realm.
Whether they had ultimately died there, he didn’t know.
But Fang Xiu had always been too weak, so he’d never had the opportunity to go.
Once he was strong enough, once his Level was high enough, he would go to the Demon Beast Realm and see for himself.
"Good... Good!"
Yue Tianrui said with satisfaction, a smile on his face as he gazed at the sky.
Slowly, they drifted shut.
But the smile remained on his face.
"Headmaster... Headmaster!"
Fang Xiu called out twice.
But Yue Tianrui gave no response.
A Level 66 powerhouse.
A respected Headmaster.
Had fallen, just like that, within the Demon Beast Realm.
Fang Xiu looked at Yue Tianrui, his fists clenched tightly.
’If I weren’t so weak, the Headmaster wouldn’t have died!’
In Fang Xiu’s mind, memories flashed.
From their very first meeting, to his suspicions that the Headmaster was a villain, to the present... The Headmaster had always wanted him to leave the training grounds, and in the end, he had died in this foreign realm to protect humanity.
"AHHHHH!!!!"
Fang Xiu roared at the sky.
"ROAR!"
And at that moment, a roar echoed from the distance.
Fang Xiu turned his head and saw that the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snake he had shaken off had already caught up to them again.
"This is all your fault!!!"
Fang Xiu let out a furious growl as he looked at the four Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snakes charging straight for him.
Then he charged straight at them.
"Master!"
Kajimi cried out as she watched Fang Xiu charge straight toward the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snakes.
But it was as if Fang Xiu hadn’t heard her.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he took out the potion he had acquired earlier, the one capable of restoring fifty percent of his Spiritual Power.
He downed it instantly.
A massive surge of Spiritual Power instantly appeared within his body.
"Netherworld Thunder Fall!"
Fang Xiu roared.
Immense Thunder Power gathered in the sky.
It fell directly upon the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snakes.
He knew that Netherworld Thunder Fall, at his current Level, wasn’t enough to kill these Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snakes.
"Star Punishment!!!"
Fang Xiu’s Spiritual Power coalesced once more.
This time, Fang Xiu used Star Punishment!
A Skill he had never used before.
A Forbidden Curse even more powerful than Netherworld Thunder Fall.
As Fang Xiu roared out the name of the skill.
The dark clouds in the sky actually parted on their own.
It was as if they were making way for something.
Then, a flaming meteor descended from the heavens, piercing through the clouds and hurtling toward the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snakes on the ground!
"ROAR!"
As if sensing the power of the Star in the sky.
The Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snakes shrieked at the sky.
But Fang Xiu was unmoved.
His Spiritual Power surged madly, and the Stars gathering in the sky grew more and more numerous.
He then pulled out another Spiritual Power Recovery Potion and downed it without the slightest hesitation.
Then he gathered his power again!
As more and more Stars materialized in the sky.
Fang Xiu glared at the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snakes below and roared, "Today, you Demon Beasts will pay for this in blood!"
As Fang Xiu’s roar faded, the Stars in the sky rained down directly on the Demon Beasts below.
That’s right. Not just the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snakes, but the other Demon Beasts that had appeared in the area as well.
All of them were locked on by Fang Xiu’s Star Punishment.
Countless flaming Stars fell from the sky.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
RUMBLE!
The falling Stars and the power of Thunder.
The bombardment sent the Demon Beasts on the ground scrambling to dodge.
But Star Punishment didn’t just lock onto its targets; it could also immobilize them.
This was something Netherworld Thunder Fall couldn’t do.
And as Star Punishment rained down...
those Demon Beasts had nowhere to flee and could only try to defend themselves.
But at this moment, Fang Xiu had gone completely berserk.
He relentlessly chugged Recovery Potions, continuously gathering Stars and Thunder Power.
He unleashed a constant bombardment on the Demon Beasts below.
"ROAR!"
The Demon Beasts scattered in all directions, but ultimately, they could not escape Fang Xiu’s Skill.
"Master!"
Kajimi murmured, watching this scene from afar.
It was the first time she had ever seen her master this angry.
However, if her master was angry, then Kajimi naturally had to be angry too.
"YAH!!!"
Kajimi spread her wings. Streaks of red markings appeared on them, finally converging into a mystical pattern.
She then drew the Bone Whip that Fang Xiu had given her.
Kajimi flew into the air and unleashed Chain Whip, then activated Phantom Cage in coordination with Rotating Storm.
Instantly, countless phantoms and storms materialized.
They swept toward the Profound Bird Eagle-devouring Snakes before her!
"ROAR!!!"
The Demon Beasts shrieked in agony.
And Fang Xiu and Kajimi had gone on a rampage!
