Chapter 412: The Big Weapon Ascends
At this moment, Respected Elder Hu Xiao appeared beside Respected Elder Ling Xiu, eyeing Spirit Cut with caution, worried that he might accidentally devour his good companion.
Spirit Cut looked every bit like a monstrous figure that could swallow people whole.
Noticing their reactions, Spirit Cut quickly steadied his aura.
"I just consumed two beast kings, and my energy hasn’t fully settled yet," Spirit Cut said with a grin.
"Respected Elder Spirit Cut came to support me, it’s fine, no worries," Respected Elder Ling Xiu quickly reassured, waving his hand. He and Respected Elder Hu Xiao had privately discussed that Spirit Cut could easily handle both of them alone.
Such fighting strength deserved some respect.
"Now that the beast kings have retreated, let’s return to our respective guarding areas," Spirit Cut suggested.
"Agreed."
On Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan was busy recovering his mental energy.
The blade strike he had unleashed had drained a significant portion of his strength.
"This tribulation is finally over," Xu Fan exhaled deeply.
With two beast kings slain, the beast race would surely take time to regroup. In just five days, Xu Fan would be able to sit back and relax at home.
"Grape, report the losses," Xu Fan asked as he regained his composure.
"Within the Steel Wall, 26 Giant Cities of the human race were destroyed by the beast kings, with no survivors," Grape reported.
"What a world we live in," Xu Fan sighed. He had done everything he could, but this was the best he could manage.
"In the end, my own strength is still too weak, and time moves too slowly," Xu Fan murmured, gazing at the sky.
Five days later, a Demon Suppressing Star equipped with a railgun ascended into the sky.
"Grand Elder, does this artifact truly possess such immense power?" Sha Diao asked, staring at the Demon Suppressing Star with the railgun hovering in the air.
"You’ll see just how powerful it is soon enough, but one thing I can guarantee," Xu Fan said with a smile, looking up at the sky.
"What’s that?" Sha Diao asked.
"That it will ensure my peaceful life," Xu Fan replied calmly.
To face this crisis, his mind had been constantly working, simulating tens of thousands of scenarios and outcomes.
In many of those outcomes, if the beast kings had acted boldly and attacked without hesitation, the chance of him escaping with the sect would have been less than thirty percent.
For days, Xu Fan felt as though he was walking on a tightrope.
During this time, the formation on Hidden Spirit Island remained active, ready for an immediate retreat.
Only when the Demon Suppressing Star with the railgun reached its designated position did Xu Fan finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"A peaceful life is about to begin~"
Meanwhile, in the Holy City of the Fox Clan, the Moon Fox Beast King stood among the other five beast kings, her expression grim.
With two of the eight beast kings slain in an instant, the morale of the group had been shattered. Some of the supporting beast kings were considering retreat, while others were eyeing the Moon Fox Clan for potential gains.
"Five artifacts for five of you is impossible."
"However,"
The Moon Fox Beast King spoke and immediately took out the Thousand-Patterned Umbrella.
"Now, a strong attack or infiltration is no longer possible. There’s only one way forward."
"That is, I will return to the demon race and seek help from a master craftsman to bond this celestial tool to me," the Moon Fox Beast King said, her eyes shining with hope.
The fighting strength of the Great Ascension Beast Sovereign with a celestial tool is completely on a different level than without one.
"Our clan’s celestial tool, the Thousand-Patterned Umbrella, allows me to unleash our clan’s strongest secret technique, ‘Thousand Patterns, Ten Thousand Beasts Realm.’”
"It can directly suppress those three respected elders of the human race, and then I can rescue our clan’s master craftsman," the Moon Fox Beast King stated.
"What benefits can we gain from this?" asked the Armored Beast King.
"Aside from one beast king’s three artifacts, I promise to let you use the celestial tool three times," the Moon Fox Beast King said, feeling a pang in her heart. This was already the best deal she could offer.
"Okay." The other beast kings exchanged glances and all nodded in agreement.
"Then I will return to the demon race now to find the master craftsman," the Moon Fox Beast King declared.
A month later, Xu Fan sat leisurely on a red turtle shell, fishing, while Li Xingci chatted with him and reported the situation.
"You said the Moon Fox Beast King has disappeared from the holy city and may have returned to the demon race for help," Xu Fan remarked.
"Yes, the news from there has always been very accurate," Li Xingci replied.
"Who is your informant?" Xu Fan asked curiously.
"She is, let’s say, the thirteenth concubine of the Moon Fox Beast King and is very favored by her," Li Xingci explained.
"Is that thirteenth concubine beautiful?" Xu Fan inquired.
"Not really; she is actually the most ordinary one."
"Then why does the beast king like her so much?" Xu Fan asked, becoming slightly intrigued.
"She can bear children, and the bloodline of the Little Fox she gives birth to is very pure, even producing an ancient variant, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox," Li Xingci said with a smile. It was the very reason they had gone to great lengths to assimilate her.
"That is indeed attractive," Xu Fan replied with a laugh. In the cultivation world, such talent is very highly regarded.
As Xu Fan spoke, he suddenly recalled the Transformation God-level giant turtle in the spiritual liquid lake.
"Since we have confirmed that the Moon Fox Beast King has returned to the demon race, the real show is about to begin. I hope her blood pressure can withstand it," Xu Fan chuckled.
"I feel it won’t hold up. The Moon Fox Beast King has already sacrificed too much for her clan’s master craftsman."
"If she finds out that the celestial tool supporting her belief is actually fake, it would be good if she doesn’t go mad," Li Xingci said.
He felt that the Moon Fox Beast King was quite unfortunate; from the moment Xu Fan plotted against her, her fate as a beast had become a joke.
"Then, for now, let’s hold off on using the big weapon and wait for her to come back again," Xu Fan said with a sly smile.
At that moment, a figure in a blood-red robe, Spirit Cut Elder, landed on the turtle shell.
"Spirit Cut Elder, this blood sea clone must be transformed from the true spirit of the dragon-shaped centipede," Xu Fan said, glancing at the red-robed Spirit Cut.
"Haha, Grand Elder, your insight is remarkable."
The Heavy Water Source Blade appeared in Spirit Cut’s hand, wrapped in a sealed scabbard.
"Return things to their rightful owner," Spirit Cut said reluctantly. Good weapons are like beautiful women; once you hold them, especially after experiencing battles with them, they become unforgettable for a lifetime.
"In the future, this Heavy Water Source Blade will recognize Chufan as its master. Whenever you want to use it, just go ask your grandson Chufan for it."
"The celestial tool has a spirit, and with your cooperation during this time, the rest you understand," Xu Fan said with a smile, knowing that no one can escape the law of true fragrance.
"Is that so? Then it seems I need to teach Chufan more about knife techniques when I have the chance," Spirit Cut said with a laugh.
At this moment, Spirit Cut’s expression became slightly shy, making Xu Fan feel puzzled.
"Spirit Cut Elder, if you have something to say, don’t hesitate."
"What was that last technique you used, Grand Elder? That strike was truly beautiful," Spirit Cut recalled, feeling a tremor deep within his soul every time he thought of that strike.
