Chapter 1086: Oneshot
Fang Yi's attack and subsequent destruction of the solar king's manifested galaxy seemed ridiculous, but it had happened right then and there.
If Zhang Lie were present, he would have noticed surprising similarities with heaven's might; it was as though Fang Yi had combined both its power over fate and its evolved form's fearsome penetrating power.
The solar king was more frightened than he had ever been to date. He could clearly sense that he wouldn't be able to block Fang Yi's attack.
He immediately invoked his authority as superior king to teleport away.
For a superior king to run away from a fight within his world was an act of gross disgrace, but the solar king would never choose reputation over life. He had sensed life-threatening danger from Fang Yi's attack.
Even so, despite the solar king's teleportation, the twisting spear that Fang Yi had thrown out nevertheless appeared before him.
Raging spatial rifts, destructive void lightning, the corrosive wind of ages, the mysterious temporal lightning, fate that couldn't be understood—all that power merged together.
The solar king's eyes contracted. It felt almost as though there were an invisible thread linking the spear to his body. No matter how he tried to teleport away, or even to escape to the ends of the world, the spear followed after him.
In the end, the solar king spread his arms wide and roared in laughter. He chose not to run away, but instead to face Fang Yi's attack head-on.
"Haha, if you can kill me, go ahead!"
The twisting spear penetrated his body. Spatial rents and void lightning tore apart his body, and temporal lightning and the wind of ages destroyed all that remained.
Even so, the solar king continued to laugh madly despite Fang Yi's attack. The eight golden suns to his back all burst in a shower of golden light, but despite the infusion of that energy, the solar king showed no sign of healing.
The solar king's eyes widened in disbelief.
His regeneration should have taken effect even if he were turned to nothing but ashes, but none of it made a difference now. His body dissipated amidst Fang Yi's attack.
Fang Yi called out, "Your death has been fated!"
Fate had marked the solar king.
The world of blazing rain rained blood for the first time since its evolution as the will of the world mourned the loss of its king. However, the hundred suns that surrounded the world of blazing rain meant that the blood evaporated before it could touch the ground.
The aftermath of the solar king's heated battle meant that the temperature of the world of blazing sun had risen to a ridiculous degree, but it was now cooling down as Zhou Ying's golden roots sucked out more and more of the superior world's energy.
Fang Yi pointed at the cloud of blood in the sky. "A single strike!"
Li Feng walked over. "I don't understand how you can brag even when you've been reduced to such a sorry state."
Fang Yi was in extremely terrible condition.
That final attack had been beyond what Fang Yi's own body could handle. His bones had all been crushed, and his internal organs were injured.
He was limp and bloodied all over, half a step away from death.
Fang Yi sighed. "Li Feng, you just don't understand. Coolness is something that sticks with you for life. No matter what my circumstances are, no matter what condition I'm in, I'll always be cool! It's my responsibility to preserve my image at all times."
Despite his injuries, Fang Yi was very happy. The combination of eight disparate types of energies had been theoretical; in the fight, he had actually achieved it.
Although he could hardly claim that he was able to fight shoulder-to-shoulder with Zhang Lie, he was certain that even Zhang Lie wouldn't be able to survive that attack unscathed.
"A cool man who can only shoot one shot, alright."
"It's one strike!" Fang Yi emphasized.
Li Feng rolled his eyes. "I know, I know, one shot, right? Since you're so cool and handsome, I won't call Zhou Ying over to bother you."
Fang Yi's expression crumpled immediately. Although his face was hidden behind a mask of blood, it felt as though he was on the verge of tears."
"No! Get Zhou Ying to come save me! Li Feng's going to kill me, he's trying to steal my glory!"
Li Feng rolled his eyes. "If you're so energetic, then I'm sure you won't die. It'll be fine to leave you out here like this, wouldn't it?"
"You bastard! No wonder you're fond of the golden mammoth—your humanity's deserting you! All your blood is going to turn bestial!"
Li Feng's face suddenly darkened. He grinned maliciously. "You're not able to move right now, Fang Yi, are you?" You can insult me, but if you insult my girlfriend...
Fang Yi glanced at him warily. "What're you trying to do? I'm warning you, I'm not interested!"
Li Feng slowly took off his socks. "Come here. Have a whiff of my fermented sweat."
Fang Yi roared in outrage, "You bastard! Stay away from me, away!"
While Fang Yi and Li Feng were messing with each other, neither of them noticed a shadow appearing in the sky, wearing a lab coat as he smiled at the two hunters. His gaze remained on Fang Yi for a little while longer.
That white coat, stained by blood, slowly turned a dark-red color. The red of Nightdemon's coat deepened and darkened until it was almost black. Then, it flashed and opened wide, transforming into a pair of bat's wings.
The black wings wrapped around Nightdemon as he took to the sky. When they unfurled again, he had morphed into a gigantic bat with a brilliant white smile the shape of a crescent moon, as though he were mocking the entire world. A fiery-red eye widened, then split into three. Everyone nearby felt a deathly sense of fear.
He flapped his wings and vanished into the void of space.
"I know Fang Yi's heavily wounded, but why is he looking so dispirited too? Didn't you go check on Fang Yi's condition?" Zhou Ying murmured, perplexed, as she looked toward Li Feng.
Li Feng's face was sorrowful. "By the time I arrived, Fang Yi had already become like this. If I'm not mistaken, it's the price he had to pay for using such a devastating skill."
Upon recalling the technique Fang Yi had launched, Zhou Ying couldn't help but be shocked. That felt less like a technique and more like a heavenly punishment. Zhou Ying was absolutely certain that she wouldn't have been able to block that technique, and it was understandable that it required such a heavy price.
Fang Yi turned to Li Feng. "You bastard! You're envious of my strength."
Li Feng dangled his sock in front of Fang Yi's face. Zhou Ying turned and caught him in the act, understanding what had happened immediately. Li Feng hurriedly kept the sock with a devilish grin.
Zhou Ying sighed. "That's enough from both of you. Let me treat Fang Yi first."
