Chapter 126 - 126: Looking at Each Other
Fang Qinghong did not give up and continued to attack his heart.
The Heart Array was already damaged and could not hold on for much longer. Fang Qinghong had planned it slowly just now because he did not want to waste his strength. After all, being sealed by the Heart Array meant that every ounce of strength he used was a drop less.
But now that the Heart Array was controlled by someone else, no matter how much Fang Qinghong cherished his power, he could not let others manipulate him as they pleased.
“Ka ka ka.”
The three Heart Pearls let out a crisp sound at the same time, and the cracks on their surface began to increase.
Chen Fei’s expression was solemn. Fang Qinghong’s power was far stronger than he had imagined. After controlling the Heart Array, Chen Fei finally understood the power of the Heart Array. Even in a damaged state, it was not something that ordinary martial artists could resist.
However, Fang Qinghong had been sealed for many years. Now that he was attacking the Heart Array, the damage to the Heart Array became even more serious.
As the damage to the Heart Array increased, it also hindered Chen Fei’s control over the Heart Array. The seal that was originally advancing at high speed slowly slowed down.
Fang Qinghong’s eyes lit up. He felt a slight change in the Heart Array. He kept attempting to break the seal while trying to break free from the control of the heart array.
“Rise!”
Chen Fei took a deep breath and formed a seal with his hands. His core soul energy quickly surged into his Heart Pearl.
Chen Fei originally had some selfish motives. After obtaining this Heart Array, other than wanting to take Fang Qinghong down, Chen Fei also wanted to protect this Heart Array.
Such a powerful array formation, even in a damaged state, could easily handle an ordinary Visceral Tempering realm cultivator if used well. Even an Aperture Tempering realm cultivator might suffer a loss if they were careless.
However, Fang Qinghong’s resistance made Chen Fei’s idea fall through.
In this bizarre realm, it was impossible to preserve the Heart Array, avoid Fang Qinghong, and save his own life.
There were not many perfect things in the world. It was already a blessing to be able to get one.
Following Chen Fei’s full control of the Heart Array, the core soul energy that Fang Qinghong had attached to his Heart Pearl was instantly repelled. The seal, which had slowed down, began to sprint again, heading toward the tomb at the back of the mountain.
“Ka ka ka.”
More and more cracks appeared on the three heart pearls, and they became denser and denser. It was as if they would shatter in the next moment.
“Open!”
Fang Qinghong roared furiously. A ball of power exploded from his body. With
Fang Qinghong at the center, a huge ripple swept out and collided with the seal. The seal shook violently.
The Heart Pearl trembled. Chen Fei sensed the state of the Heart Pearl, and his scalp went numb. This Heart Pearl was more severely damaged than he had imagined.
Not daring to hesitate, Chen Fei injected all of his inner strength and mental strength into his Heart Pearl.
In the end, the seal did not break, but the Heart Pearl had become a mess.
Fang Qinghong’s brows furrowed tightly. Just as he was about to continue breaking through the seal, his mental strength that extended outside suddenly saw a grave. Fang Qinghong’s expression suddenly changed. He was about to do something when the seal had already plunged into the grave.
In the tomb, the strange figure looked at the seal that had broken in. Before it could understand what was going on, the seal was undone, and a figure was revealed.
When the evil saw Fang Qinghong, its scarlet eyes suddenly shone with a dazzling light. It remembered this human. It did not expect to meet him again after so many years.
Fang Qinghong clenched his fists and looked at the Evil King. The anger in his heart was about to soar into the sky.
Who, who was it!
Filled with schemes, Fang Qinghong had thought that he had everything planned out, but now it was actually him facing the Evil King.
Old and new grudges could have been settled slowly, but now, they had come face to face. Unfortunately, Fang Qinghong did not have the power to settle them in person.
A few miles away, Chen Fei’s face was pale, and he was on the verge of collapsing. Looking at the Heart Pearl fragment in his hand, Chen Fei’s face was filled with pity.
In the end, in order to break through the Evil King’s tomb, the last bit of power in the heart array was exhausted, leaving only a hand full of fragments. Chen Fei thought for a moment, then summoned the cabinet in the space grid and placed the fragment inside.
Although the Heart Formation was broken, these fragments were still good stuff. Perhaps he could use them in the future and refine them into other weapons.
“Boom!”
Chen Fei had just put away the cabinet when a huge explosion came from the depths of the Strange Wind Realm. The entire Strange Wind Realm shook violently. Chen Fei even saw a huge crack appear in the sky.
The crack was quickly repaired by the Strange Wind Realm, but Chen Fei still felt the change in the Strange Wind Realm. The cold feeling all over his body weakened.
“They’re fighting!”
Chen Fei couldn’t help but reveal a smile on his face. He could sense that the monsters in the distance seemed to have become irritable. Chen Fei didn’t dare to stay there and ran in the direction of the city gate.
“Junior Brother Chen, over here.”
Along the way, Chen Fei saw many fellow disciples. Everyone rushed towards the city gate. Chen Fei had just reached the city gate when he saw Ge Hongjie and the other two waving their hands at him.
“Junior Brother Chen, do you know what happened?” Zhang Fangqiong’s face was filled with joy when she saw Chen Fei return safely.
“Junior Brother Chen, you don’t know, but that scoundrel is too despicable. He let us go and then captured us again,” Mu Langtao said with lingering fear.
The moment they were captured, Mu Langtao thought that they were dead. Facing such a person who went back on his word, there was no hope at all.
In the end, they didn’t expect that they would come out again. The usual four people were actually fine now. What could be happier than this?
“I don’t know what happened either, but that person probably fought with the Evil King.”
Chen Fei looked into the distance. In just a short period of time, the entire Strange Wind Realm had been trembling violently. Although there was no explosive sound like the first time, Chen Fei could feel that the intensity of the battle was increasing.
Ge Hongjie and the other two nodded and did not pursue the matter further. They understood that Chen Fei was probably the reason why they were able to survive this time.
They didn’t see that the four of them were fine, but there was still no trace of Lu Haiyan and the other two. It seemed that they were in danger.
“The seal is open!”
As the Strange Wind Realm continued to shake, someone suddenly shouted excitedly. Everyone could not help but turn their heads to look and realized that the original entrance was rippling.
Everyone’s expressions could not help but be slightly excited. The abnormal movements of this Strange Wind Realm made people’s hearts skip a beat. They did not know when it would affect them. If they had a choice, it would be best to escape this place as soon as possible.
Two figures appeared from the exit. Their powerful auras suppressed the surroundings, causing people’s hearts to shrink involuntarily. It was as if they were facing their natural enemies.
Sun Quan saw that the number of disciples in the surrounding sect had decreased by more than half, but fortunately, they were not completely wiped out. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief and retract his aura at the same time.
Just now, Sun Quan was worried that he would be attacked the moment he entered, so he subconsciously released the aura of the Aperture Tempering realm. Qin Dingyu did the same.
“It’s Elder Sun and Elder Qin.”
Seeing the two elders in the sect, everyone’s hearts were completely relieved. If there were any changes in the Strange Wind Realm, there would be two Aperture Refinement realm experts guarding here, so there was no need to worry about danger.
“This Strange Wind Realm is a little unstable. All disciples, go out first.”
Qin Dingyu looked around and felt a little strange. He was a little surprised to break the seal earlier. Now that he saw the changes in the Strange Wind Realm, he was even more baffled.
Normally, if the Evil King wanted to fight to the death, it would at most shrink the Strange Wind Realm and continuously increase its strength. Why hadn’t they started fighting yet? The Strange Wind Realm was about to collapse.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Sun Quan was also puzzled. His figure flashed and disappeared from where he was. Qin Dingyu nodded and followed behind.
The disciples at the city gate did not dare to delay. This was no longer their battlefield. It was best to retreat first. Otherwise, if any other accidents happened, they would really want to cry but have no tears.
In less than 15 minutes, the city gate was empty. Sun Quan and the other two came to the back of the city and saw the tomb. The air there was constantly wrinkled, and there were even a few cracks on the tomb.
“The Evil King is fighting?”
Sun Quan had long known that the Evil King was hiding in the tomb. However, the node of the Strange Wind Realm had not been broken, so Sun Quan did not dare to step in. He did not expect that someone would be one step ahead of him and enter directly.
Who had the courage to fight directly in the Evil King’s home ground? This was simply tying his own arms and giving in to the Evil King. This courage was simply too much.
“It’s probably this person’s doing that the Strange Wind Realm was sealed.”
Qin Dingyu frowned slightly and had no intention of going in.
Those who dared to face the Evil King like this must have extremely powerful methods. Even if there were two of them now, charging in like this would not do them any good. They might as well wait for the rest of the battle to end before making their plans.
“My two friends, can you come down and suppress this monster together? I accidentally barged into this place and was taken advantage of by this strange phenomenon. I hope you can help me.”
Fang Qinghong’s voice came from below. He really couldn’t take it anymore. He was already injured, and now he was fighting with the Evil King in such a place. He was really about to be killed.
Noticing the arrival of Sun Quan and the other man, Fang Qinghong quickly asked for help.
As long as Sun Quan and the other two came down and stalled the Evil King for a while, Fang Qinghong would immediately use the Golden Cicada Shedding Shell and escape.
“Your Excellency’s martial arts are unparalleled. How would we dare to participate?”
Qin Dingyu laughed softly. He could already hear the weakness in Fang Qinghong’s words. Perhaps he was really being suppressed by the Evil King, or perhaps he was just acting.
But no matter what, they could not continue like this. They had long been under the control of the Primordial Sword Sect. It was fine if they didn’t join forces to kill a food snatcher, but they still wanted to help. How was that possible?
“This monster is cunning. In order to prevent it from escaping and harming everyone, the two of us will be on guard outside,” Sun Quan shouted.
“My physique is special. If I’m defeated by this monster, I’ll definitely be devoured by it. At that time, the monster’s ability will definitely increase greatly, and there will be endless trouble in the future.”
Fang Qinghong cursed in his heart, but his tone was still pleading.
Sun Quan and the other man looked at each other and didn’t reply to Fang Qinghong. Regardless of whether it was true or false, they would just watch. No matter who won in the end, they would not be able to leave this place.
A few array tools appeared in Qin Dingyu’s hands, and he began to set up an array around the tomb.
After some time, the entire tomb exploded with Fang Qinghong’s furious roar. A beam of spiritual light flew out from the tomb, but it was immediately stopped by Qin Dingyu’s formation. It looked like it was Fang Qinghong..
