Chapter 662
by fanqienovelChapter 662: The Hedgehog Beast King
At the original site of the Que Tian Gate, Xu Fan stood on a little hill with Xu Gang and the others behind him.
“Grape, is Que Tian Gate still around?” Xu Fan asked.
“A group of Que Tian Gate disciples in Tianlong Prefecture have rebuilt it, and it’s even stronger now than before,” Grape replied.
“We should visit sometime and bring some gifts; it’d be a way to settle this old debt,” Xu Fan said.
“It’s hard to believe so many years have passed,” Xu Fan remarked, gazing at the collapsed buildings with a hint of nostalgia.
“Yeah,” Xu Gang and the others agreed, sharing the sentiment.
They all had fond memories of this place.
Xu Fan waved his hand, and a small hole appeared in the center of the hill. A treasure flew out from the hole and landed in his hand.
“This is the light projection treasure I left behind. I wonder if it still works.”
As Xu Fan spoke, he waved his hand again, projecting a light curtain.
The light curtain displayed scenes of the Beast Race Invasion of Que Tian Gate.
Thanks to the desperate efforts of the Overcoming Tribulations stage sect leader, about eighty percent of the disciples managed to escape, leaving behind those who were caught off guard and slaughtered by the beast race.
“It’s all the protagonist’s fault~” Xu Fan said.
He had pieced together the cause and effect of this disaster in Xiangzhou during his free time.
When Ye Xiaoyao returned from the demon race, he was tracked directly to this location by the beast race.
At that moment, Ye Xiaoyao’s figure appeared on the light curtain.
He looked pale, filled with regret.
He had come to see if Xu Fan had left.
“He’s not a bad guy; it’s just that old schemer…” Xu Fan said, watching Ye Xiaoyao on the light curtain.
Just then, a flying beast from the demon race passed overhead and spotted Xu Fan and the others below.
Excited, it dove at them like a starving dog.
Wang Xiangchi didn’t even look; he simply swung his sword.
A sword light sliced through the flying beast as if cutting through space itself.
The beast let out a cry and exploded mid-air, turning into a cloud of Blood Mist that drifted away with the wind.
“Let’s set up a Puppet Base here and come back to check on it when we have time,” Xu Fan said.
“Understood, Master,” Grape’s voice chimed in.
“Alright, it’s time to wait for the right moment. If we want to slay demons and claim treasures, we can’t rely solely on those two sword formation puppets and the Great Ascension stage puppet,” Xu Fan said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In an abandoned ancient demon region, the demon army had completely surrounded the area.
In the center, a grey mist swirled, emanating an inexplicable spatial power.
Beyond the borders of the demon race territory, the Invincible Beast King stood guard.
At that moment, while feasting on meat, the Invincible Beast King suddenly looked up at the sky.
Instantly, nine great Immortal Swords appeared in the sky, slashing down towards the Invincible Beast King.
Following that, thousands of artifact-level Spiritual Swords formed into sword dragons, surging towards the Invincible Beast King.
“Leave this beast king level opponent to me; you all handle the smaller fry,” Xu Fan’s figure appeared in the sky.
“Understood, Master.”
Xu Gang, Xu Yuexian, and Wang Xiangchi charged into the demon army.
“Three directions, one person for each,” Xu Gang said, glancing around to assign positions.
“Senior Brother, just to be clear, if I’m slow in killing, you can’t steal my kills,” Wang Xiangchi said, recalling Xu Gang’s past habits.
“We’ll see when the time comes,” Xu Gang replied excitedly, forming a hand seal and summoning a massive thousand-handed law form behind him.
The thousand-handed law form mirrored his movements, forming hand seals in unison.
Suddenly, intercontinental missiles, condensed from secret techniques, appeared in the sky.
They transformed into streaks of light, raining down on the demon army in the distance.
A river of lava, under Xu Gang’s control, cascaded into the area where the demon army was stationed.
Xu Yuexian waved her hand gently, and a well-trained demon army materialized.
The troops were perfectly aligned, armed with top-tier treasures, and then split into tripartite battle formations to charge at the demon army.
Wang Xiangchi watched his Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister in action, his eyes filled with resignation.
A Spiritual Sword appeared in his hand, transforming into a streak of sword light as he rushed in another direction.
Darting through the demon army, his sword lights cut through them like blades of grass.
Meanwhile, Xu Fan controlled the sword formation puppet, facing off against the Invincible Beast King.
“So, it’s a hedgehog; this might be tricky,” Xu Fan remarked, observing the Invincible Beast King in his true form.
The Invincible Beast King shot out sharp quills, like giant spears, crashing against the barriers set by the sword formation.
“It’s been a while since I’ve fought; this time, I’m going to enjoy myself.”
Xu Fan had firmly sealed the surrounding space with his Formation, making it impossible for the Invincible Beast King to break through immediately.
“Human race, you’re asking for death!” the Hedgehog Beast King roared, producing a demon bone in his hand that functioned similarly to the Avatar Jade Talisman of a Great Ascension Master.
The demon bone shattered in the Hedgehog Beast King’s grasp, summoning a massive Golden Giant Tiger into the sword formation.
The Golden Giant Tiger radiated overwhelming power, and as soon as it appeared, cracks began to form in the barriers set by the sword formation puppets.
Xu Fan narrowed his eyes.
“Failure isn’t an option; we’ll never fail.”
Before arriving, Xu Fan had already anticipated various possible scenarios.
This scene was also within his expectations.
“Roar!!”
The tiger’s roar shook the heavens, causing Xu Gang and the other two, who were battling the smaller enemies, to shudder in their souls.
“What’s the point of just roaring? Come over and fight,” Xu Fan mocked.
At that moment, the sword formation in the sky began to change, with more and more artifact-level Spiritual Swords merging into the formation.
Centered around the Nine Great Immortal Swords, they formed a sword formation azure dragon charging towards the Golden Devourer Tiger.
When the Golden Devourer Tiger appeared, Xu Fan was startled.
However, upon realizing it was not the legendary Grand Elder but just this Golden Devourer Tiger, he relaxed.
“Find a way to drive the human race away; I am battling in the Extreme Void Domain and cannot descend in my true form,” the Golden Devourer Tiger transmitted a message to the Hedgehog Beast King.
“Understood!”
In the past, if such an important task went wrong, the top-tier Invincible Beast King would have descended immediately.
But now, an unexpected situation had arisen.
“Human race, your death is at hand! Once the giant tiger’s true form descends, you will face the most brutal punishment from our beast race.”
“Shut up and stop talking so much!”
The azure dragon formed by the Nine Great Immortal Swords swung its tail, sending the Hedgehog Beast King flying.
He became surrounded by the Great Ascension stage puppets waiting on the outskirts.
“Although it’s not the Grand Elder, this little tiger is indeed strong,” Xu Fan said while controlling the azure dragon.
He had plenty of time and could play with it slowly.
As long as his Immortal Sword sword formation was not broken, this Invincible Beast King could only be gradually worn down.
At this moment, the Golden Devourer Tiger entangled by the sword formation dragon felt a bit helpless.
The human controlling the sword formation was too well-hidden; he couldn’t find his hiding spot.
The Golden Devourer Tiger swiped at the dragon head of the sword formation, sending it flying, and turned to charge towards Xu Gang, who was clearing out the smaller enemies.
He had to force the controller of the sword formation to reveal himself; otherwise, it felt too frustrating to fight like this.
