Chapter 606: A Fury That Annihilates

After breaking through the exit, the two Thunder Tribulation Immortals, seasoned in countless battles, refrained from rashly charging out. An ambush could spell their doom.

They instead sent forth two transformation treasures first—a black dragon and a blood wolf. Without hesitation, the unleashed violent attacks the moment they emerged.

The exit opened into the Treasure Tower’s ground-floor warehouse, normally used for storing provisions. The vast space, spanning hundreds of feet, remained partially empty.

Fang Lie had indeed stationed eighteen clones here for ambush, planning to immobilize and eliminate enemies with Void Space Annihilation Slashes. But he’d underestimated his opponents’ cunning.

The black dragon measured over thirty feet, its corrosive smoke pillars annihilating everything they touched. Warehouse walls dissolved instantly, exposing the outside scenery. Clones caught in the smoke vanished without trace.

Not to be outdone, the blood wolf’s Sword Rays split into multiple beams, hunting down every escaping clone. Mere contact with these rays reduced flesh to bloody sludge.

Though Fangs Lie’s body had been fortified by the Innate Great Five Elements Nascent Fetus Classic to rival Fire Tribulation Immortals, it proved useless against these treasured items. Dozens of blood clones perished within breaths.

The tavern itself collapsed under the battle’s shockwaves. Clones hidden elsewhere met accidental deaths from falling debris.

"Hahaha!" The Thunder Tribulation Immortals’ laughter echoed through divine sense surveillance. "This whelp thought to ambush us?"

"Assassins getting ambushed? How laughably naive!"

Their deliberate mockery reached Fangs Lie’s distant clones—and his true self. Humiliation burned through him. Worse, he realized he couldn’t defeat two Thunder Tribulation Immortals unaided. Even victory might let them escape.

With vengeance at stake, Fangs Lie roared: "Damned curs—DIE!"

He produced a jade-green bamboo leaf sword talisman—a life-saving treasure from his Semi-Immortal father-in-law Mo Qianxun, containing half the patriarch’s full power.

Previously unusable during the Celestial Platform Competition and subsequent ambushes, he now unleashed it. A viridian Sword Ray lanced through hundreds of miles to pierce the tavern ruins… yet left them untouched.

Through his Void Eye, Fangs Lie witnessed the ray slicing through subspace reinforced by Space-Calming Beads. Everything within—including the smirking Thunder Tribulation Immortals—disintegrated into void storm particles without even screaming.

Masterless, the black dragon reverted to a sword and the blood wolf to an iron spike. The Eighth-rank treasures hovered mournfully until collected by cautious clones.

Bystanders gaped at the ownerless treasures. "How? Those Eighth-rank treasures were clearly controlled moments ago!"

"Did you see Fang Lie release that Sword Energy? It must’ve shattered the void!"

"That Sword Energy was terrifying! Definitely not Fang Lie’s own power. Smelled like Semi-Immortal aura – probably disposable protection treasure from the Mo Sect Leader!"

"Such valuable loot, almost as pricey as Eighth-rank Treasure! Tossed it away like trash. Fang Lie’s got deep pockets!"

"Throw one treasure, grab two back. Profit either way, right?"

Bystanders chattered endlessly while Fang Lie ignored them, carving new words in the sky: "Three Thunder Tribulation Immortals? Weak as barnyard fowl! Zhu Xian’s reputation – all bark, no bite!"

Gasps erupted as characters blazed overhead. Now everyone understood – Zhu Xian had dispatched three Thunder Tribulation Immortals to ambush Fang Lie, and all got slaughtered!

Empty boasts nobody would believe. But one Thunder Tribulation Immortal died publicly, witnessed by thousands. The other two left smoking guns – Eighth-rank Treasures couldn’t lie.

Ironclad evidence. Who’d dare doubt?

A Qi Sea Realm cultivator slaying three Thunder Tribulation Immortals? Whatever tricks he used, Fang Lie had pulled off the impossible!

Flying Swords carrying messages streaked across skies like metallic rain. Tens of thousands of spectators each sent multiple reports, creating shimmering spectacle.

Continent-shaking news spread like wildfire.

History remembered Qi Sea fighters challenging Thunder Tribulation experts. Rare cases of victories existed. But one against three? Total annihilation without scratch? Unprecedented!

Fang Lie rewrote the history books.

This feat made people question Zhu Xian’s combat power.

Fang Lie’s Celestial Platform Competition performance showed he wasn’t some era-defying genius. True dominators needed 50,000-mile Qi Seas at minimum.

If Fang Lie wasn’t overpoweringly strong, his enemies must’ve been pathetically weak.

Consensus formed: Zhu Xian assassins excelled at ambushes but folded in fair fights. All shadow, no substance!

This perception eroded Zhu Xian’s fearsome reputation, even hurting business.

Crushing blow to their image. They’d expected three Thunder Tribulation Immortals to guarantee victory – kill Fang Lie, reclaim Treasure Tower, rescue operatives, save face.

Instead, they got humiliated again – Fang Lie’s slap ringing louder than ever!

Zhu Xian couldn’t swallow this. Breaking tradition, they publicly vowed through official channels: "We’ll kill Fang Lie!"

First-ever public statement from the shadowy organization drew global attention.

Adventure-seekers flocked to Lanhe Town for next showdown. Major sects and family clans mobilized observers – to gauge Fang Lie’s strength and finally glimpse Zhu Xian’s secrets.

Zhu Xian’s trademark secrecy meant few survived encounters. Their divine skills, secret techniques, and treasures remained mysteries. This open challenge offered golden opportunity.

Even remote factions sent delegates, unwilling to miss this once-in-millennium chance.

Over month passed since Fang Lie’s triple kill.

Lanhe Town’s population ballooned daily. Original hundred-thousand spectators multiplied, spilling beyond thousand-mile radius.

What irked Fang Lie most? Newcomers were all experts – swarms of Fire Tribulation Immortals, over thirty Thunder Tribulation bigshots!

Worst were gloating enemies from East Kunlun and Great Thunder Sound Temple. Fang Lie felt like circus animal under their mocking gazes.
