Chapter 602: Exterminate All
Chapter 602 -261: Exterminate All
Xia Weiyuan and Li Cheng hailed from Celestial Prison Island. For years, to facilitate their operations, Celestial Prison Island had been secretly developing an intelligence network.
Therefore, Xia Weiyuan had some understanding of the current situation in the East Sea.
However, she had been prejudiced, believing that the Human World Demon God was ruthless and would strike a fatal blow at the slightest sign of defiance.
But her and Li Cheng’s first meeting with Fang Shuwen could hardly be called polite.
Li Cheng, in particular, had spoken recklessly several times and had even wanted to attack.
Although Xia Weiyuan had stopped him, if it had truly been the Demon Evil God before them, how could he have tolerated such insolence from Li Cheng?
Coupled with Fang Shuwen’s physical build and appearance, she had made what she considered a reasonable judgment.
She’d concluded that Fang Shuwen couldn’t possibly be that fiend from the Eastern Domain.
But now, seeing Fang Shuwen reveal his ferocious nature and erupt in a murderous rampage, she knew she had been terribly wrong.
She also understood why the people from the Four Forbidden Lands had surrounded Fang Shuwen.
Rumors about the Profound Celestial Iron Mirror had long been circulating throughout the East Sea. How could Xia Weiyuan not know of Fang Shuwen’s connection to the matter?
But though she understood now, it was too late… Setting aside whether her previous words would put Celestial Prison Island in an awkward position, she dared not even think about what would become of her and Li Cheng.
The best option now was to leave this place and report everything back to Celestial Prison Island exactly as it happened.
But unfortunately, their covered boat had been taken by Wu Yuantong, the Third Elder of Little Night Valley. At this moment, the man was pushing the boat at full speed, trying to escape.
‘No… I can’t just sit here and wait to die!’
As the thought crossed Xia Weiyuan’s mind, she was about to pull Li Cheng onto the covered boat.
‘Comparatively speaking, staying by the side of Little Night Valley’s Third Elder is much safer than staying near Fang Shuwen.’
But the moment that thought arose, she heard a series of thuds—BANG BANG BANG, BANG BANG BANG.
The Disciples of the Four Forbidden Lands who were trying to stop Fang Shuwen in mid-air were all sent flying, spitting blood.
In a flash, he was already on the covered boat.
His right hand opened, and a palm strike descended from the sky!
On the boat, Wu Yuantong cursed his luck. ‘Three of us are trying to escape, and this bastard had to pick me.’
However, it was too late for other thoughts. He circulated his Profound Technique, and his right index finger shot out in a sudden jab.
[Silent Night’s Long Quiescence Finger]—[One Finger to Bring the Long Night]!
As the saying goes: A silent night is born, bringing long peace and tranquility. All sounds are hushed, for the heavens have no beginning or end!
This finger-jab held the power to practically fathom the secrets of heaven and man. As it jabbed forth, the wind it created unfurled a scroll painting of the night sky.
Beneath the endless silent night, it was as if even time itself had lost all meaning.
In the next instant, however, the massive Palm Shadow brutally tore through the curtain of silent night. Like a pagoda crashing to the earth, it landed with a tremendous shock, kicking up a wave of desolation.
BOOM!!!!
A tremendous roar erupted in an instant.
At its core, it was a sudden collision between finger and palm, unleashing endless gales that sent violent waves churning across the sea’s surface.
The powerful force pushed the large ships back, making them drift uncontrollably in the direction of the impact.
Meanwhile, the Disciples of the Four Forbidden Lands who were still trying to press their attack from mid-air began dropping like flies, plunging from the sky into the sea below, where they attracted a frenzy of sharks.
PTHOO!!
Wu Yuantong spat out a mouthful of blood. His Finger Power had been shattered, and Fang Shuwen’s palm, the [Vajra Tower Throwing], had already struck him on the head.
The head of this Third Elder of Little Night Valley, who had once “Suppressed Eight Demons with a Single Finger” in the East Sea, was smashed directly into his chest cavity. The immense force traveled down to his feet, even shattering the covered boat beneath him into pieces.
“No!”
Seeing this, Xia Weiyuan’s face turned even paler.
‘Great,’ she thought. ‘Now our only hope of leaving this place is gone…’
After killing Wu Yuantong with a single palm strike, Fang Shuwen didn’t pause for even half a step.
With a twist of his body, his gaze locked onto Qu Laiying.
She had shattered the mast, thrown it into the water, and was about to use its negligible buoyancy to launch herself away with her Inner Strength.
Fang Shuwen, still in mid-air, made a grasping motion at her from afar with his right hand.
Qu Laiying felt her body freeze as a powerful force pulled her back, drawing her uncontrollably toward Fang Shuwen’s hand.
Without needing to look back, she knew the source of this sudden turn of events.
Fury ignited in her heart.
Fleeing was the logical choice, but that didn’t mean she was willing to accept it.
‘Since escape is impossible, I might as well face Fang Shuwen head-on and see just how capable this Human World Demon God truly is!’
After all, Qu Laiying had once crossed swords with Shi Zhenxuan.
Having mastered the Lingbo Sect’s ultimate technique, the [Vast Sea Boundless Technique], she had wandered the Jianghu her entire life considering herself second to none.
Her pride and ambition were far beyond that of ordinary people.
Now, in the instant she turned, she used the [Vast Sea Boundless Technique] to execute the Lingbo Sect’s ultimate body-protecting art, [Thousand Streams True Aegis].
This Body-Protecting Divine Technique used the [Vast Sea Boundless Technique] as its foundation, circulating True Qi to cover the surface of her body with layers of raging currents.
These raging currents operated on the core principles of ‘deflection, delay, and weakening’ to neutralize incoming attacks.
Years ago, she had relied on this very technique to withstand a punch from Shi Zhenxuan, a feat she remained proud of to this day.
While the [Thousand Streams True Aegis] protected her, she swept her hand past her waist, a Soft Sword appearing in her palm. She pointed the blade, and with a HUM, the Soft Sword suddenly snapped taut. In a flash of brilliant sword light, six more figures appeared between heaven and earth.
These six figures were not real, of course.
Her Swordsmanship was called [Mirror Water Swordsmanship], based on the principle that ‘when still, water is like a mirror; when moving, water is like an illusion.’ It manifested infinite variations between stillness and motion.
