Chapter 610: Chapter 56: Counterkill
A hundred li south of the Ethereal Celestial Palace.
Plain.
The great army led by Princess Qingyuan set up camp, banners waving, battle intent soaring, enough to dispel the Yin Energy permeating the entire Secret Realm.
"Report!"
"The mining team transmitted a message, suspecting that the Martial Dao Grandmaster Fang Zheng of Gu’an County appeared in the Secret Realm, demanding a map."
"Oh!"
Li Yingxuan raised her head from the documents she was flipping through, her expression peculiar:
"He’s joining this commotion too?"
"He probably stumbled in by accident." The Little Night Palace cultivator, Ling Shan, stroked his chin, guessing:
"Considering his temperament, without absolute assurance, he wouldn’t act rashly, let alone travel alone?"
"Yes."
Li Yingxuan nodded:
"Indeed, he’s quite timid."
"Hmm..."
"Not sure if he’ll come looking for me, though he’s timid, Fang Zheng’s strength isn’t weak at all."
She tapped the desk, her shimmering eyes flickering.
"Compared to his strength, his business acumen is second to none." Ling Shan spoke with a smile:
"Some say Boss Fang has a Treasure Basin that accumulates wealth daily, leading to his current success."
Li Yingxuan shook her head.
The Treasure Basin is merely a baseless rumor, but Fang Zheng’s ability to generate wealth indeed deserves recognition.
"Don’t pay attention to it for now."
With her thoughts shifting, she bowed her head and continued working:
"With the Yama Hall about to open, more people are sneaking into the Secret Realm, not just him alone."
"Yes."
Ling Shan bowed.
......
Near the Reincarnation Hall.
He Zhong’s ears twitched slightly, stopping the Heaven and Earth Skill, he opened his eyes and spoke in surprise:
"Unexpectedly, my relative-in-law came to the Yama Secret Realm too?"
"Fang Zheng from Gu’an County?"
East Sea Fisherman Xiao Haisheng heard this with joy:
"Fang Zheng himself is a Martial Dao Grandmaster and raises a Ghost King. If he assists us, our chance increases."
"Indeed."
Immortal Master Ge of Fangxian Dao nodded in agreement:
"The Gang Leader has no one by his side, it’s just the right time for us to act. If Brother He can seize control of the Exclusion Sect..."
He hesitated to speak, but his eyes remained intense.
The few of them had plotted here for some time, and the Sect Leader position in the Exclusion Sect was what He Zhong was determined to obtain, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Let’s see first."
He Zhong spoke in a muffled voice:
"The people from Three Sages Manor have already made their move. Fang Zheng may not escape this calamity. If he does, then it won’t be too late to act."
"Hmm."
The few nodded.

Fang Zheng wanted to leave, but the Bai Family Brothers weren’t planning to let him go.
Wine Sword Bai Jin controlled the Flying Sword, drawing an arc in the air, blocking the way, the sword light flashed and enveloped.
"Peng!"
The Separation Alloy Wheel flew out from the hand forcefully, colliding with the Flying Sword, and even shot the Separation and Union Divine Light to immobilize the Flying Sword, preventing tracking.
Seizing the gap,
Fang Zheng instantly retreated a hundred zhang, soaring away.
However, regarding Escape Technique, he was clearly not as skilled as the Bai Family Brothers.
Wine Sword Bai Jin, Julian Blythe controlled the Flying Sword, merging with the sword to pursue at an astonishing speed.
Sword Cultivator!
Fang Zheng’s eyes flickered.
The Bai Family Brothers were originally Jianghu heroes, and by chance obtained the inheritance of an Ancient Sword Immortal. After arduous cultivation for sixty years, they both reached Zhenren Realm, their legendary deeds widely spread, and Bai Family Manor became a dominant force.
Their Flying Swords were also a set, the power greatly increased when the two swords combined, undefeated when jointly confronting enemies.
Sword Cultivators are the most adept at slaughter...
"Shua!"
Fang Zheng’s figure shook, suddenly splitting into two and fled in two directions.
"Hmm?"
The Bai Family Brothers were stunned onseeing this, even the sword light paused for a moment.
Two Fang Zhengs, identical in form and aura, with a considerable speed, hard to distinguish real from fake at once.
"Split up and chase!"
Wine Sword Bai Jin spoke in a muffled voice:
"The Fang fellow raised a Ghost King, one of the clones should be that thing. Eliminate the Ghost King then join forces to deal with him."
"Okay!"
Julian Blythe nodded, and the sword light chased one of the figures.
The two had achieved Zhenren for over a hundred years, both their strength and methods formidable, even when separated, they weren’t weak.
Sword light swept by.
Julian Blythe was the first to chase after ’Fang Zheng’, pointing his sword, dozens of strands of Sword Qi howled out.
"Swish!"
’Fang Zheng’ turned around, flicked his hand to summon the Wind and Cloud Banner, blades of wind intercepted the Sword Qi, and the Separation Alloy Wheel came smashing in.
"True body!"
Julian Blythe’s heart tensed, hurriedly stopping his Body Technique to respond.
Without a true body, how could he wield two Magical Artifacts? The Separation Alloy Wheel’s power was extraordinary, and he was unwilling to collide head-on.
’First, entangle the opponent and wait for my brother to resolve the Ghost King over there before taking action.’
Resolving his mind, Julian Blythe used his Sword Technique to meet the enemy, the sword light seemed fierce but the attack was not urgent.
At the same time, looking to the side, a scene in the distance made his face change dramatically.
"Don’t run!"
Wine Sword Bai Jin shouted:
"Fang, stay where you are!"
Fang Zheng’s figure dodged, seeing he could not escape, his face sank, turning around as his True Qi externalized and formed.
Heart Intent—Twelve Forms!
Thanks to refining four Divine Bones, his cultivation base was now no less than that of an elder Master who had cultivated for over a hundred years.
True Qi transformed, and in one breath, six solid virtual images appeared.
Dragon!
Tiger!
Snake!
Monkey!
Chicken!
Ox!
"Roar!"
The six virtual forms lunged out together, causing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the surroundings to surge restlessly, which also caused Wine Sword Bai Jin’s face to darken.
This child’s Martial Arts...
Extraordinary!
He couldn’t care about pursuit and kill, the Sword Technique guided, and the sword light suddenly grew strong, surrounding himself tightly.
"Boom!"
The six virtual images collided with the sword light, producing layers of ripples, gales raged, and blasts echoed endlessly.
Fang Zheng stood at the back, seeing this, his expression did not change, his eyes suddenly emitted thunderous light.
"Crackle!"
"Boom..."
The six virtual forms all trembled, dazzling thunder surged from within them, their pouncing forms becoming fiercer.
Elemental Thunder Skill!
With just one impact, the barrier formed by the sword light became shaky and unstable.
"Bastard!"
Suppressed by the virtual images, Wine Sword Bai Jin’s face changed greatly, roaring continuously in anger, desperately activating his Flying Sword to resist.
At the same time, various Magic Arts and Spirit Talismans were thrown out like money was no object.
However, his methods could only temporarily ensure safety, breaking through the siege was still beyond reach.
"Such Dharma Gate power is impressive, but it certainly can’t last long. You’ve just advanced to Martial Sect, your True Qi inside is thin, how long can you last?"
"Bai has been practicing the Ancient Sword Technique for nearly two hundred years, consuming several kinds of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, my Mana is much deeper than yours."
"Let’s see who can hold out to the end!"
Facing Bai Jin’s roar, Fang Zheng merely snorted, lightly waving his sleeve, several Magical Treasures flew out like lightning.
Buddhist Shrine!
Bone Sword!
White Bone Whip!
Bone Relic!
...
The six virtual images, each with a Magical Treasure, top-tier Magical Artifact, roared in unison, forcefully breaking through the sword light defense.
Fang Zheng’s hands pinched a Seal Technique, his expression grave.
Heart Intent—Six Harmonies!
The six virtual images collided together, at the center point burst forth indescribable light and heat, the terrifying destructive force instantly engulfing where Wine Sword Bai Jin was.
"Boom!"
Deafening roars sounded.
Like a nuclear explosion, a huge mushroom cloud appeared out of thin air, while wisps of smoke threads hung down around.
Fang Zheng waved his sleeve, scattering the incoming aftermath, his figure flashed and vanished into the scene, reaching out to grab several items.
Then he suddenly charged towards Julian Blythe.
"How is this possible?"
In just the blink of an eye, his elder brother, whose cultivation and strength were even a notch higher than his, perished on the spot.
This scene made Julian Blythe’s eyes widen, his heart race, a face full of disbelief.
The surname Fang was surprisingly this strong?
It turned out he was not facing Fang Zheng’s true body, but the Ghost King, and his brother was chasing the true target.
Disaster!
When he came back to his senses, his face suddenly changed, retracting the sword light, he intended to flee.
But then...
"Screech!"
The Ghost King emitted a sharp scream, the sound like countless steel needles stabbing towards the opponent, while the Separation Alloy Wheel and Wind and Cloud Banner simultaneously boomed into action.
Escape?
Absolutely impossible!
Facing the relentless Ghost King and the rapidly approaching Fang Zheng, Julian Blythe couldn’t help but show a look of despair.
