Chapter 300 On the Verge of a Breakthrough
”Boom!”
There was a loud explosion mid-air.
This time, Fang Qiu did not hold back at all and his internal force exploded from him in an instant. It landed square on the large toad's body.
”Croak...”
The toad croaked in horror.
Its skin immediately hardened when Fang Qiu's palm Landed on its head. Its skin that had been as smooth as mud instantly hardened to from an armor that resembled clumps of mud.
”Hmm?”
Fang Qiu was surprised.
He didn't expect the large toad to possess such a move in its arsenal.
Nonetheless, he wasn't too worried because he could clearly sense that the large toad's move was only used for defensive purposes and that it wouldn't be able to harm him. Its defensive move will not be able to block his attack.
Just as he thought.
”Bang!”
Cracks immediately formed on the large toad's armor. It didn't break apart completely but the large force immediately sent the large toad plummeting to the ground like a meteor. Then it landed with a loud swoosh on the marsh.
Elder Yi watched in astonishment by the edge of the marsh.
”Amazing.”
Elder Yi's eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise when he saw how easily Fang Qiu was beating the large toad into pulp.
Mid-air.
Fang Qiu landed gracefully back to the ground.
He chuckled when he saw the turbulent marsh waters below.
He saw that the toad that had crashed back into the marsh was not seriously injured but its armor at its head had broken apart; it looked as though its skin was peeling.
”Croak...”
The large toad croaked in panic and dived back into the marsh waters when it saw Fang Qiu descending.
”You're afraid,” Fang Qiu said with a loud chuckle.
He had clearly seen fear reflected in the large toad's eyes.
He guessed that it wouldn't be causing trouble for some time.
”Bingdi Lotus!”
He suddenly whipped his head around.
Although the fight earlier hadn't been intense, it had a huge impact on the marsh. The large toad smashed into the marsh waters twice which resulted in large waves being created in this marsh.
The Bingdi Lotus grew in the middle of the marsh and it was also located in a concave part of the marsh.
Would the large rolling waves earlier send the Bingdi Lotus right into the marsh waters?
Fang Qiu was extremely anxious.
He turned around and saw that the Bingdi Lotus was perfectly fine. The misty white lights circling around it were still visible. It seemed as though it was set apart from the rest of the world as though everything that happened had nothing to do with it.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately flew upward and stretched out his hand to pluck the Bingdi Lotus.
However, a piercing sound suddenly ripped through the air.
”Swish!”
”Hmm?”
Fang Qiu tensed and he didn't even turn to see where that sound originated from before he quickly dodged.
He had just moved aside when he saw a huge rock move as swiftly as a secret weapon and hit the Bingdi Lotus.
The next moment.
”Gurgle...”
The large rock that smashed against the Bingdi Lotus suddenly shook and twisted to the side, as though it had been sapped of all energy, before falling into the marsh.
”A magnetic field,” Fang Qiu thought to himself and an idea came to him.
His curiosity was piqued by this scene.
He knew that all Heaven and Earth Treasures were extremely rare and they were known as Heaven and Earth Treasures because they could absorb and gather the energy and spiritual Qi of the universe. The universal energy is an invisible and intangible substance but it had powerful effects. Once the universal energy was gathered in substantial amounts, it could generate an amazing effect. Due to the lack of research on this matter, this effect was known as a magnetic field.
Clearly, the Bingdi Lotus had dodged the blow due to its magnetic field.
”Hmm?”
Just as Fang Qiu was curiously examining the Bingdi Lotus, he heard a loud exclamation, ”A Bingdi Lotus! I can't believe my luck. I managed to stumble upon an Earth Treasure while taking a shortcut to the city.”
A figure ripped across the air and approached the Bingdi Lotus.
He took a closer look and saw that the newcomer was extremely beautiful.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man with extremely fair skin and a sharp chin. His hair was shorn short and there was a scar in the middle of each side of his eye.
The moment this man appeared, he didn't even spare Fang Qiu a glance before he reached out to pluck the Bingdi Lotus.
”Stop right there!” Fang Qiu said as he grabbed hold of the middle-aged man's arm.
”Haha,” the middle-aged man glanced at Fang Qiu before he said coldly. ”Get lost!”
”You're the one who should get lost,” Fang Qiu said as his eyes narrowed.
He suddenly pulled at the middle-aged man's arm and sent a heavy punch toward that man's chest.
”Humph,” the middle-aged man scoffed. He wasn't afraid of Fang Qiu at all and curled his left hand into a fist to meet Fang Qiu's attack.
Their mighty strength collided!
They both were forced to take a step backward.
”Grade five!”
Fang Qiu looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.
He clearly sensed that this man was a grade-five Martial Superior when they clashed with each other earlier. However, this man had only opened seven meridians which placed him among the mid or lower-tier grade-five Martial Superiors.
On the other hand, the middle-aged man's face darkened. ”You're just a puny martial arts practitioner. How dare you try to go up against me?”
Then, he yelled coldly, ”Get lost!”
As he said those words, a powerful blast of Qi power exploded from his body.
”Boom!”
His internal Qi circled around him and charged with an invincible force toward Fang Qiu.
”Come on,” Fang Qiu thought to himself.
