Chapter 354 - 178: Are You Courting Death?
Chapter 354: Chapter 178: Are You Courting Death?
The journey, which should have taken less than two days, became a path of slaughter for Fang Shuwen. Everywhere he went, blood stained the snow, and bodies littered the ground.
And as for those lucky enough to escape, Fang Shuwen couldn’t be bothered to give chase.
At this point, Fang Shuwen had no interest in sweating the details. Just like with the group that had laid the Inverted Five Elements Array in the Chaotic Stone Forest, he had no intention of leaving a single person alive for questioning.
A clean, satisfying slaughter was all that mattered.
Finally, on the afternoon of the second day, Fang Shuwen arrived at the foot of Liuxia Mountain, his face grim and his clothes soaked in blood.
Before he even got close, a group of Jianghu people appeared from who knows where, pointing at Fang Shuwen and roaring insults:
"Murderous Demon, die!"
The words had barely faded when one of them leaped forward, raising his saber to strike.
Without even looking up, Fang Shuwen casually reached out with a Plum Blossom Scattering Hand, grabbing the man’s wrist. He twisted the blade back, and with a SHINK!
The man’s head flew into the air, and a severed arm was ripped clean off by Fang Shuwen’s brute strength.
He then tapped his foot and strode forward, kicking another oncoming attacker. The man flew back dozens of feet, dead before he even hit the ground.
Fang Shuwen spun around, dropping from the air and swinging a fist that connected squarely with an approaching Jianghu man.
With a BANG, the man’s head exploded, and his headless corpse crumpled to the ground.
But there were simply too many people. Fang Shuwen brought his palms together, then channeled his power.
The Four-armed Fire God Dharma Aspect rose menacingly behind him. As Fang Shuwen thrust his palms forward, a scorching Fire Force swept out in all directions.
Ever since creating this technique, Fang Shuwen had found it to be an exceptionally satisfying way to deal with enemies from all sides.
The Fire Force, infused with his Palm Power, shot out in every direction.
For a time, piercing screams filled the air. Fang Shuwen walked forward, with Fang Dabao following closely behind, still carrying Long Qingzhi.
There were still people ahead, watching Fang Shuwen with predatory eyes.
Suddenly, someone roared in anger:
"Do you really think the Northern Domain has no one to stand against you?
"A man of the Eastern Domain, coming here to the Northern Domain to slaughter us like this... do you really think... you really think we don’t dare go to the Eastern Domain and do the same?"
Fang Shuwen glanced up at the man and flicked a finger.
Four Seas Shocking Emperor Finger!
Before the man could even register what was happening, the finger attack struck him between the eyebrows.
BOOOM~~~
With a deafening roar, countless severed limbs flew apart, and a deep crater was blasted into the ground.
It was an incredibly bloody yet stunningly beautiful attack, a truly shocking sight to behold.
"Don’t be afraid of him!"
"He’s only one man... With so many of us, if we all rush him at once, you think we can’t kill him?"
"I refuse to believe his Inner Strength is infinite!"
"Kill!!!"
Fang Shuwen’s gaze was glacial, his blood-soaked clothes adding to his murderous aura.
Seeing the crowd charge at him once more, Fang Shuwen wasted no more words. He threw a punch, and a massive fist imprint descended from the sky.
Hammer Sea Shocking Heaven!
The terrifying Fist Force crashed down, instantly claiming the lives of more than a dozen people.
He spun and slammed both fists diagonally into the ground.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE!
It was as if an earth dragon was turning over. Immense power rolled outward like crashing waves.
BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!
What followed was a sky full of Fist Force that crashed down like a tidal wave—this was Breaking Sea and Overturning Clouds from the Sea-Shaking Divine Fist!
With this one move, no one was left alive within a radius of dozens of feet.
Fang Shuwen had no intention of showing any mercy. After being relentlessly attacked for the past two days, his heart was now blazing with fury.
His fingers flew, unleashing the Four Seas Shocking Emperor Finger again and again. His Finger Power rained down like a meteor shower, each impact accompanied by a tremendous roar.
And every roar left countless corpses in its wake.
Every step he took was like treading upon a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The people of the Northern Domain Martial World, who had initially believed their numbers gave them the advantage, watched Fang Shuwen advance through the mountains of corpses he created. In an instant, the fighting spirit that had coursed through their veins turned to ice.
"He’s not a man..."
"He’s a Demon!"
"A murderous fiend... Don’t kill me, please don’t kill me! I’ll never dare covet the Glazed Saint Body again!"
"Run!"
Some had their courage shattered, their very souls broken by terror.
They had seen men killed before, but never anything like this.
Only now did they realize that back in Anyue City, Fang Shuwen hadn’t truly unleashed his full murderous intent.
If he had truly let loose, not nearly as many people in Anyue City would have escaped. The reality was that perhaps not even one in ten would have survived.
This realization was even more terrifying!
Some turned and fled, others stumbled backward, and one man forgot to run or retreat at all. He could only watch as Fang Shuwen grabbed him by the neck and lifted him into the air.
"...Demon... Demon Evil God!"
His eyes were wide with terror. He seemed to want to curse, but he couldn’t speak a word with his throat clenched in Fang Shuwen’s grip.
"Demon Evil God..."
Fang Shuwen’s gaze swept over the surrounding mountains of corpses and sea of blood, then down at his own clothes, which had been soaked, dried, and then re-soaked in gore. He gave a dry laugh.
"A Demon Evil God, is it? So be it. Someone else called me Evil Gods and Demons. Did you hear me complain?"
With a CRACK, the man’s head lolled to the side. Fang Shuwen casually tossed the corpse aside.
When he looked up again, not one of the people who had just been screaming for his death dared to meet his gaze.
He took a step forward; they took a step back.
They always maintained what they believed to be a safe distance between them.
Step by step, Fang Shuwen finally set foot on Liuxia Mountain.
He raised his gaze to Celestial Martial Peak, and his voice rang out slowly:
