Chapter 1048 The Battle Against the Evil Infant

 

“Bang!”

This figure, like a bullet, instantly appeared in front of Fang Yu.

Fang Yu was already prepared.

In a flash, time seemed to freeze.

Fang Yu could clearly see that this was an evil infant before him.

It had no hair, its two large eyes were filled with blood-colored light, and its face revealed an evil smile.

Most notably… on top of its head, there was a black, spiral-shaped mark.

It curled up into a ball, its entire body hurtling toward Fang Yu.

Fang Yu raised his right hand to block in front of him.

“Boom!”

A tremendous force struck.

It felt as if what hit his hand wasn’t an infant, but a meteorite from outer space.

“Crack…”

Fang Yu rapidly retreated backward, causing a huge crack to appear in the plaza floor beneath his feet.

“Hahahahaha…”

The evil infant hovered in mid-air, clutching its abdomen and letting out a loud laugh with its mouth open.

This laughter sounded childish, but lacked the innocence of a normal baby, instead giving off a sense of pure malevolence.

Xiao Ling stared at this evil infant, her gaze stern and her expression tense.

Meanwhile, Jiang Tianhe, floating nearby, had a face full of shock.

The Question Heaven Stone, which had existed even longer than their Taixu Sect, had burst open, and a baby had rushed out?

Even now, he still couldn’t comprehend what was happening!

But at this moment, the evil infant’s laughter abruptly stopped.

It suddenly turned its head and stared at Xiao Ling.

Upon meeting the evil infant’s gaze, Xiao Ling immediately felt her scalp tingle and her body turn cold.

It raised its left hand, which emitted a flash of light.

“Boom!”

At that moment, the evil infant charged toward her!

Xiao Ling gritted her teeth and raised her left hand.

“True Yang Seal!”

Her left hand emitted an intense blue light.

An extremely complex seal shot out from her left hand toward the evil infant.

In an instant, the evil infant broke through the seal and appeared in front of Xiao Ling.

“Hee hee hee…”

The evil infant looked at the pale-faced Xiao Ling before it and let out another creepy laugh.

At the same time, it raised a hand to slap her.

Xiao Ling retreated backward, avoiding the slap.

But a powerful force still struck her violently!

“Puff!”

Xiao Ling spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was thrown backward.

The evil infant burst into laughter again, its tiny body emitting waves of red gas mixed with the smell of blood.

By now, Su Changge had become aware of the approaching danger.

He opened his left hand, and a black spherical object appeared in his palm.

Su Changge threw the black ball to the ground.

“Bang!”

As soon as the black ball made a sound, it burst into a thick black mist.

The evil infant stopped laughing and looked at the rapidly spreading black mist nearby. It seemed stunned for a moment, then smiled again.

It suddenly turned its head and stared at Jiang Tianhe in mid-air.

Jiang Tianhe trembled, his hair standing on end!

He turned and ran, using all his strength!

“Boom!”

Jiang Tianhe, at the peak of the Divine Transformation realm, unleashed his full power and flew rapidly toward the distance.

At this moment, the evil infant showed no intention of pursuing.

It raised its left hand, its tiny index finger pointing at the rapidly fleeing Jiang Tianhe.

“Whoosh!”

A red light flashed.

Jiang Tianhe, who had already traveled dozens of meters away, felt a stabbing pain in his chest.

Soon, he felt his true energy rapidly draining, until he could no longer maintain flight and fell from the sky.

“Hee hee hee…”

The evil infant watched Jiang Tianhe fall from the sky and laughed, dancing with glee.

“You seem very happy?”

A voice appeared by its ear.

The evil infant’s expression changed, and it whipped its head around.

“Bang!”

Fang Yu slapped the evil infant across the face.

The evil infant’s entire body flew sideways like a bowling ball.

“Rumble…”

The evil infant crashed into a small mountain a hundred meters away, causing a thunderous noise.

“Boss!”

Su Changge ran out from the black mist, his face filled with shock.

“Go check on Xiao Ling and Jiang Tianhe,” Fang Yu said.

“Okay… Boss, this male infant is…” Su Changge asked with wide eyes.

“Still not clear what it is, but definitely nothing good,” Fang Yu said.

“Boom!”

As the two were speaking, a deafening rumble came from the distant small mountain.

The entire mountain collapsed with a crash!

A figure wrapped in red light rose from the dust.

“Better get away from here,” Fang Yu said again to Su Changge, then stomped his foot and charged toward the evil infant ahead.

At this moment, the evil infant in the air was rapidly expanding its internal energy.

The blood energy emanating from its body grew increasingly intense.

“Whoosh!”

In the next second, Fang Yu appeared in front of the evil infant.

Looking at this evil infant up close, Fang Yu could confirm… the mark on the evil infant’s head was indeed a simple spiral shape.

This shape seemed familiar to Fang Yu, but he couldn’t immediately recall its specific meaning.

Now, the evil infant was also staring intently at Fang Yu, the blood light in its two large eyes extremely terrifying.

“Who are you? Why did you jump out of a stone?” Fang Yu asked.

The evil infant didn’t speak, but clenched its fists, its aura growing stronger, as if filled with boundless rage.

The sky grew increasingly dark.

The previously clear weather suddenly became overcast with thunderclouds.

“I usually don’t hit children, but you’re clearly not normal, so… sorry about this.”

Fang Yu clenched his right fist and punched toward the evil infant.

The evil infant simultaneously raised both fists, colliding with Fang Yu’s fist!

“Boom!”

The three fists connected, producing a tremendous noise.

Terrifying power spread outward.

Fang Yu flew back more than ten meters, feeling his right hand go numb.

The evil infant, like a cannonball, was once again thrown backward.

“Rumble…”

The evil infant’s body crashed into the base of the mountain behind Taixu Sect.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and charged forward.

This evil infant, besides the evil and bloody smell, had another special characteristic.

That was the aura of ancient times.

It was a feeling difficult to describe, but ancient beings… would emit an aura belonging to ancient times.

The evil infant before him had such an aura.

What exactly was it?

Fang Yu wondered as he approached the spot where the evil infant had fallen.

“Bang!”

Amid his thoughts, an energy blast containing annihilating power came toward him.

Fang Yu’s figure flashed, easily avoiding this attack.

But unexpectedly, right after this energy blast came the charging evil infant!

“Clang!”

The evil infant used its head to ram into Fang Yu’s abdomen, making a crisp sound.

At the same time, Fang Yu joined his fists together and smashed them down hard!

They landed squarely on the evil infant’s back!

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, the evil infant plummeted downward.

And Fang Yu was also forced back several meters by that headbutt.

“Rumble…”

The evil infant crashed into the ground, affecting the land within a hundred-meter radius, which collapsed with a rumble.

Fang Yu locked onto the evil infant’s position with his divine sense and also rapidly descended.

The evil infant had just risen from the sunken ground when it looked up to see Fang Yu’s right foot!

The evil infant immediately raised both hands to block this kick!

“Boom!”

Fang Yu’s strength was too overwhelming, and the evil infant’s entire body was stomped into the ground.

But that wasn’t the end of it. Fang Yu raised his right foot and stomped down forcefully again!

“Boom!”

Another explosive sound.

The ground, already several meters deep, shattered again.

The evil infant’s body was no longer visible.

But Fang Yu could feel it with his right foot.

The evil infant was using force, trying to burst out from the ground.

But Fang Yu kept stomping down firmly.

“You jumped out of a stone, so I’ll send you back into the earth. The environment is similar, don’t resist so much,” Fang Yu said with a cold smile.

“Argh…”

The evil infant let out an angry cry, and the energy around its body surged again!

“Rumble…”

The ground beneath Fang Yu’s foot exploded layer by layer!

During this time, the evil infant’s figure became visible.

With the ground completely gone, Fang Yu and the evil infant were essentially facing off in mid-air.

At this moment, the evil infant still had both hands blocking above its head, countering the force of Fang Yu’s right foot.

Fang Yu could clearly feel that the evil infant’s power was continuously increasing.

This level of power had already surpassed that of all humans Fang Yu had ever encountered.

By normal logic, an infant that appeared to be only a few months old should never possess such formidable strength.

“Ah!”

The evil infant let out a great shout and suddenly raised both hands.

Fang Yu used this momentum to soar upward.

The evil infant stared at Fang Yu’s figure, spread both hands palm-up, and formed them into claws.

“Rumble…”

At this moment, the surrounding broken stones and soil all began to rise!
