Chapter 756: The Situation Turns

"Hahaha!" The four Semi-Immortals laughed until they nearly fell to the ground after hearing Fang Lie’s words.

"Kid, I never dreamed that people from the Fang Family could brag so much! Truly, you can’t judge a person by their appearance!" Immortal Hua Yi laughed wildly.

"With your silly look, do you really think you can handle us? Do you think that without divine skills and Dao magic, we have no way to deal with you?" Immortal Jade Toad added.

"Child, can you be any more foolish? Don’t you know how big the gap is between a Semi-Immortal and a Qi Sea cultivator? Even without divine skills or Dao magic, we have bodies refined through wind, fire, and thunder, as well as the Heavenly Tribulations. You haven’t even gone through the three disasters, and your body is still mortal. How can you compare with those of us who have Semi-Immortal bodies? Do you really think your youth allows you to bully us old men?"

It was no wonder the four Semi-Immortals were so confident; the difference between a Qi Sea cultivator and a Semi-Immortal was far too great. Besides magic and realm, the strength of their bodies was like heaven and earth.

Before going through the wind tribulation, all cultivators were still mortal, easily killed by mortal weapons.

However, the wind tribulation could refine a cultivator’s body, making it powerful and closer to the Heavenly Dao. This was somewhat similar to Fang Lie’s situation; his "Innate Great Five Elements Nascent Fetus Classic" could produce vast amounts of Dao Patterns, enhancing his body and transforming it towards the Innate Dao Body.

In such a case, the body of Thunder Tribulation Immortal held Dao essence, making it immune to mortal arms and able to easily surpass a strength of ten thousand pounds!

After the fire tribulation, a cultivator’s body would be refined again, such that common third-rank treasures or Dao magic could barely harm him, and his strength could even reach a hundred thousand pounds.

As for Thunder Tribulation Immortal, he could ignore fifth-rank treasures and divine skills, wielding inexplicable great power with every move.

And the ageless Immortal Childs, like a Semi-Immortal, were even more terrifying; seventh-rank treasures and Dao magic could not harm them, and their body strength was comparable to that of a seventh-rank great demon.

It was important to understand that demon beasts specialized in body cultivation— a seventh-rank demon beast could shatter a mountain with its sheer physical strength!

Thus, even without the ability to use divine skills and Dao magic, these four Semi-Immortals still had the battle power of a seventh-rank great demon.

In contrast, a Qi Sea cultivator who had not gone through the three disasters was akin to a baby before them; the gap was truly overwhelming. It was precisely for this reason that these four completely disregarded Fang Lie!

Fang Lie, however, was uninterested in talking with them. Nearly a hundred of his clones coldly laughed in unison, and one clone took out dozens of metallic rods from his storage treasures, all made of eighth-rank materials— not treasures, but weapons designed to smash. Fang Lie had prepared them specifically for this unique situation.

He tossed the rods to his surrounding clones, each grabbing one, and then the group erupted into laughter, charging towards the nearby poisonous creatures.

How fast was Fang Lie? He instantly spread his golden wings and flew to the head of a poisonous creature, smashing it down with a powerful blow.

The sound of crackling echoed as dozens of poisonous creatures were smashed to pieces, their toxic blood splattering as they screamed in anguish.

Though these creatures were level six or seven, their bodies were not very strong, as they excelled in deadly poison rather than physical prowess, making it impossible for them to withstand Fang Lie’s vicious strikes.

Fang Lie’s many clones seemed addicted, continuously attacking and killing the poisonous creatures.

Over a thousand poisonous creatures became aggressive, attacking even without their master’s command, instantly leading to a chaotic battle.

But as they fought, something felt off; the poisonous creatures found it hard to hit the agile Fang Lie. Even if they chomped down a piece of his flesh, he barely cared, and with a flash of fire, the Healing Art activated, healing him instantly.

However, when Fang Lie’s rods struck the poisonous creatures, it was either death or severe injury. Fang Lie’s clones clearly possessed immense power, nearly equal to the four Semi-Immortals.

Thus, this battle wasn’t a true fight but rather a one-sided massacre. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of poisonous creatures fell, yet Fang Lie did not suffer a single casualty.

The four Semi-Immortals gasped in shock, and the ageless Immortal Childs couldn’t help but exclaim, "How is this possible? Is that kid purely a body-cultivating practitioner? Why is his body so strong?"

"No, this isn’t right. I know Fang Lie has participated in many battles; whether it was the Wanxing Sea Arena or the Celestial Platform Competition, he was known for his divine skills and Dao magic! His power was nearly equal to Thunder Tribulation Immortal’s! How could such a talented individual be a hopeless body cultivator?" Immortal Hua Yi replied in confusion.

"Damn it, it doesn’t matter what he is; it seems we have no chance at all!" Immortal Jade Toad said angrily. "In this damned place without divine skills and Dao magic, and even unable to use treasures, we’re just strong-bodied people; we simply cannot win against him!"

"With my swordsmanship, I could easily defeat at least ten Fang Lies!" Shadow Immortal solemnly declared. "But there are nearly a hundred of him, so I’m powerless!"

"What are we waiting for!" the ageless Immortal Childs shouted. "Run!"

Upon saying this, she immediately turned and fled, with the others hastily following.

However, before they could run very far, they saw over a dozen Fang Lies flapping their golden wings, flying above them and then landing to block their path.

Since this road is blocked, the four Semi-Immortals quickly turned back, only to find dozens of Fang Lie’s clones waiting to stop them, with even more clones on the left and right sides.

It turned out that in this short time, they had already killed most of the poisonous creatures and moved most of their clones to surround the four Semi-Immortals, leaving just a few clones behind to clean up!

"Ah, why are the four seniors in such a hurry?" Fang Lie said with a smile. "Don’t you still want my Glazed Nascent Fetus?"

The ageless Immortal Childs and the others exchanged looks, their faces filled with bitterness and regret.

At this point, how could they still act arrogant? Immortal Hua Yi quickly said, "Young Master, we were just joking!"

"Yes, yes! As seniors, how could we take something from a junior?" the ageless Immortal Childs hurriedly laughed.

The other two Semi-Immortals did not speak, but they quickly put on a harmless appearance, clearly ready to humble themselves.

However, Fang Lie was not willing to let them off easily. He coldly said, "You weren’t saying this earlier! Back then, the four of you were quite arrogant and didn’t see me as a threat at all!"

"This~" the ageless Immortal Childs said helplessly, "Fang Lie, let’s be honest. We admit defeat this time. If you let us go, we will avoid each other from now on. But if you dare to make a move against us, we are not to be trifled with!"

"Maybe we can’t use our divine skills, Dao magic, or even treasures, but there are some things we can still use!" Immortal Hua Yi said as he raised his hand, calmly releasing an Eighth-Rank Low-Level Beast, the Earth Spirit Bull!

This creature was over ten feet tall, like a small mountain, shining with golden light, and had a treasure saddle on its back, clearly Immortal Hua Yi’s mount.

"I have one too!" Immortal Jade Toad said, unwilling to be outdone, and gave a pat on his Jade-green toad.

In the next moment, the Jade-green toad let out a roar, its body expanding to a hundred feet in size, staring fiercely at Fang Lie. It was actually a Ninth-Rank Low-Level Beast!

The ageless Immortal Childs and Immortal Jade Toad both revealed looks of envy.

The four Great Outer Paths of cultivation involve insects, beasts, flags, and soldiers. They can greatly enhance a cultivator’s combat strength, but unfortunately, they are all extremely costly. Ordinary people simply cannot afford them. Even the wealthiest Semi-Immortal Mo Qianxun can only afford to dabble in a couple of them—not all, as the expenses are overwhelming.

These four individuals, as scattered cultivators, were all poor; they barely managed their resources for cultivation, let alone raise four Great Outer Paths!

Immortal Hua Yi’s Eighth-Rank Low-Level Beast mount was merely casually obtained, entirely unworthy of his Semi-Immortal status. If not for the long-standing attachment, he would have long since replaced it.

Immortal Jade Toad’s Jade-green toad was his life-bound demon beast. If it were not strong enough, it would affect his cultivation. He had poured all his effort into raising it, and it was only at the Mid-level of the Ninth Rank, becoming a burden to his cultivation.

As for the other two, they had no mounts at all because they simply couldn’t afford them or raise them!

Normally, not having a mount would not matter much, but in this cursed place, where divine skills, Dao magic, and treasures were ineffective, a body-strengthening demon beast mount became the crucial weapon for a comeback.

Of course, they didn’t expect these two demon beasts to take down nearly a hundred Fang Lie clones; they only hoped to escape.

But unfortunately, that wish was difficult to fulfill, as Fang Lie laughed and said, "A mount, what a coincidence, I have one too!"

As he spoke, Fang Lie released the Wonderful Bodhi Tree, and in the next moment, a hundred-foot-tall treeman appeared before everyone. He had over a hundred arms, each holding a Bronze Chime Bell, looking quite unusual.

After decades of cultivation, the Wonderful Bodhi Tree had transformed the Spiritual Energy it had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years into Magic, officially advancing to the level of a Ninth-Rank Great Demon, specifically at the late stage, comparable to a human Thunder Tribulation Immortal at the later stage.

However, the Wonderful Bodhi Tree was a spiritual root, akin to a Divine Beast. It was one thing if it did not gain intelligence; once it did and became a demon army, its strength and bloodline talent would be equivalent to a Divine Beast, capable of fighting above its rank!

This creature was clearly bursting with energy. After finally coming out, it immediately exclaimed, "Young Master, you finally released me! Who is the opponent this time? Is it just these few scoundrels?"

Suddenly, its expression changed, and it couldn’t help but scream, "What the heck, four Semi-Immortals? Young Master, this is not fair to me!"
