Chapter 136: Play Thing (1/2)

”Good, come you beast! Let's see how long you can last against my fists!”

Ever since Xiao Fang absorbed the Death Reaper energy from the 20 disciples' corpses, he noticed that it was affecting his mood in a negative way. He was already on edge because of it, so seeing the arrogant look on Spirit Beast's face just made him snap.

The whole situation was messed up. He didn't care that the Spirit Beast was in the Divine Spirit realm. The angrier he was, the less rational he became, and right now Xiao Fang was madder than he had ever been.

Despite all the pain it brought him, Xiao Fang couldn't fight the Spirit Beast without his spirit attribute active.

The elder watched in surprise as Xiao Fang ran towards her Spirit Beast.

'Does he actually think he can win against it?' she wondered.

Since the Divine Spirit Beast wasn't using any spirit techniques, Xiao Fang thought he might have a chance against it. Even if he couldn't fully use the [ True Immortal Lightning Tribulation ] spirit attribute it still increased his cultivation by a whole realm, and his [ Illusory Body ] method also increased his fighting prowess by another realm.

Unfortunately, Xiao Fang was being too optimistic. He was still severely outmatched because his [ Illusory Body ] spirit cultivation was only at the 9th stage of the Spirit Foundation realm, so it was too generous to say that his battle power increased by another realm.

Xiao Fang still had the power of his curse, but he wasn't going to use it because there was no point if the mysterious elder kept healing their injuries.

The beast punched straight at Xiao Fang's chest again, but this time Xiao Fang threw a punch right back. However. Instead of meeting his fist half way, Xiao Fang's body suddenly faded into a mist of qi the moment their fists made contact.

Dodging the fist and maneuvering under its arm, Xiao Fang punched straight into its ribs.

'Not bad,' the elder thought.

A spark of interest suddenly appeared in her eyes, but it only lasted for a second because of what happened next.

The Divine Spirit Beast looked down at Xiao Fang as a smile crept up on its face, it then swung its free arm around, knocking Xiao Fang off to the side. Xiao Fang's body rolled and tumbled a few times, before coming to a stop.

The elder scoffed.

”Why were you acting so tough when your attacks are so weak?”

What she was saying was true, the beast barely felt it. To be more accurate, the punch was equivalent to a child punching a grown man in the gut. Sure a couple of those would eventually start to bruise, but the same trick wouldn't work twice.

Suddenly, the beast fell to one knee, and standing behind him was Xiao Fang.

”My attack wasn't weak. I just didn't strike where it hurts.”

In the next moment Xiao Fang's hand swooped in, mercilessly gouging out both of its eyes.

The elder furrowed her brows as a chill went down her spine. There was no hesitation in Xiao Fang's actions at all. It was as if he had done it several times before. She knew doing that sort of thing wasn't something ordinary people could do.

'Whoever that boy is, he certainly isn't as innocent as he looks,' the elder thought.

Looking back at the body that had earlier been knocked to the side, the elder watched as it suddenly turned into another mist of qi.

The thing that amazed her wasn't just his creativity, but the fact that not even she could immediately discern his clones from the real one. The reason he was also able to fool her with his clones wasn't because he was stronger than her, but simply because she was severely underestimating him. His skills were far beyond what an outer court disciple should've been able to do, so she didn't expect him to be able to make such real clones.

Just when Xiao Fang was about to focus back on his spirit attributes, his swordsman instincts suddenly kicked in. In the next moment, he dodged the unexpecting attack. When he landed several meters away he looked back at the spirit beast and was surprised by what he saw.
