Hunting Yaksha

Fang Xuan grinned, revealing eight teeth that looked like the gaping maw of an ancient beast.

Whoosh~

A blinding sword thrust.

The sword tip entered the brain.

The Yaksha felt its vision go black, and with a thud, its corpse fell to the ground.

Having killed an enemy in one move, Fang Xuan didn't linger. His body flickered a few more steps, dodging and stepping outwards.

Swish swish swish!

Several steel forks plunged into the spot where he had just been. If he had been slow to dodge, he would have been skewered like a barbecue. The immense power of those steel forks was enough to pierce his magic robe and injure his flesh.

"Kill him."

"Tear him apart."

The remaining four Yakshas roared, their steel forks tearing through the air in a deadly assault, their moves heavy and powerful, aiming to kill Fang Xuan!

These Yakshas were equivalent to humans in the Divine Courage Realm, but Fang Xuan had a deep foundation, possessing unparalleled monstrous strength. Even in the Internal Fortification realm, he had the strength of seven horses, which even ordinary Divine Courage Realm cultivators couldn't compare to in terms of power.

Just like Fang Qingxue, even after entering the Divine Courage Realm, she only possessed the strength of five horses.

Facing the encirclement of these four Yakshas, Fang Xuan snorted coldly and directly discarded the Demon Slaying Sword.

These Yakshas were much fiercer than the Blood Wolves, and their entire bodies were covered in a thick layer of scales. The Demon Slaying Sword encountered great resistance when slashing them and easily got stuck. It was not as satisfying as using his bare fists.

"Flying Spirit Nine Revolutions."

"Carp Pierces Waves."

His body executed the "Flying Spirit Supple Bone Body," twisting and dodging with incredibly strange postures, while his feet performed the "Dragon Form Flying Tiger Step," crossing several zhang in a single stride like a dragon roaring and a tiger howling.

His five fingers formed claws, reaching out towards the Yaksha in front of him.

"Human, seeking death."

That Yaksha also revealed a ferocious smile, full of disdain for Fang Xuan's five claws. It also extended its arm, covered in sharp edges, to grab him.

Crack~

That Yaksha stared in shock at its twisted arm, its face full of disbelief. It couldn't have imagined how this thin human in front of it could possess even greater strength than itself.

"Die!"

His hand directly grabbed the Yaksha's throat and pulled hard. Accompanied by a scream, the bloody throat was directly pulled out from its body.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the screams were shrill, like a night owl wailing.

Fang Xuan stood in place, looking like a demon god reborn.

"Satisfying, again." Fang Xuan laughed heartily.

His figure darted again, facing the steel forks in the hands of the remaining three Yakshas. His body twisted slightly, dodging them.

Underground Demons were powerful, but their martial arts were extremely crude, incomparable to the thousands of refinements of humans.

As one of the Ten Immortal Dao Sects, the Yuhua Sect's basic cultivation techniques, even those used by outer disciples, were far more refined than what they could figure out on their own.

"Crane Claw Imprints Sand."

Crack~

One Yaksha screamed miserably, while the others roared and retreated.

"What are you running for? Come again."

His body channeled power again, his fist retracting like a bow, and striking out like an arrow, or even a cannon.

Boom~

With a muffled sound, the Yaksha, whose entire body was protected by scales, was directly struck by Fang Xuan's punch, causing its chest to collapse and blood to flow from its seven orifices.

"Two more left, prepare to die."

"Snake Crane Clash."

His body soared into the air, his entire body's blood surging. His right thigh instantly thickened by a factor of one, and as he kicked out, the surrounding air was squeezed out, seemingly forming a brief vacuum.

The power of one kick was this fierce.

Boom~

Feeling this despair-inducing scene, the two Yakshas roared towards the sky and swung the steel forks in their hands, lunging towards Fang Xuan.

Hiss~

Fang Xuan descended from the air and looked at the Yaksha that had been kicked into a pile of rotten meat.

"It's a pity. If Fang Han were here, with the Yellow Springs Diagram, he could refine these Yakshas into Essence Bloodstones. One Essence Bloodstone could allow a person to go without food or drink for three days, with abundant physical strength, and their tendons and fascia would become tougher. If consumed for a long time, it could even allow them to quickly break through realms." Fang Xuan sighed.

It was too wasteful.

One should know that these Essence Bloodstones could replace medicinal pills. They were completely pure and were the best food for cultivators.

If a cultivator reached the Divine Transformation realm, ordinary grains and human food could only fill their stomachs. If they ate human food for a long time, impurities would gradually accumulate in their bodies, causing them to age faster. Not only would they be unable to advance, but they would also regress.

Therefore, the food of cultivators is generally refined pills, or spiritual rice provided by immortal sects, such as the "Jade Cuisine Hall" of the Yuhua Sect.

However, the food in the Jade Cuisine Hall only keeps the body clean without impurities; it cannot further enhance cultivation, strengthen bones and muscles, or improve the limits of the physical body.

Those true disciples do not eat in the Jade Cuisine Hall. Instead, they refine pills in their mountain peaks, tempering them repeatedly to replenish their vital energy.

Inner disciples with connections go to the mountain peaks of true disciples to ask for pills as food. The top 10 masters on the Mountain River List are also given refined Spirit Severing Pills by the sect every month.

Shaking his head, he quickly rushed towards Fang Qingxue's location.

At this moment, Fang Qingxue was being attacked by five Yakshas, looking extremely dangerous.

However, Fang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and found a large rock to sit on and rest.

Fang Qingxue swept her Dragon Slaying Sword, and the steel forks of the Yakshas broke one after another, like tofu.

If you looked closely, you would find that Fang Qingxue's Dragon Slaying Sword had faint purple electric currents flowing through it, which were transmitted through the steel forks, paralyzing all the Yakshas on the spot.

"This is... awakening her talent? As expected of the reincarnation of the Lightning Mother." Fang Xuan exclaimed.

"Kill!"

Fang Qingxue let out a soft cry, her sword light flashed, and the headless Yakshas were cut in half at the waist.

"The... the leader won't let you go, you... you will all die."

"Hmph!"

Fang Qingxue snorted coldly, and with a sweep of her Dragon Slaying Sword, the Yaksha's head was cut into two halves like a watermelon.

Clap clap clap!

"Big Sister is mighty." Fang Xuan cheered.

Looking at Fang Xuan, who was sitting on a black stone resting, and then glancing at the extremely miserable Yaksha corpses not far away, Fang Qingxue always felt that Fang Xuan's praise was mockery. Her face darkened, and she said, "Quickly get the Essence Bloodstone."

"Hehe, I'm coming."

The Essence Bloodstone was suspended in the center of the altar. The hearts of the surrounding demonic beasts had long since withered, and all the energy had gathered in that blood-colored stone.

Fang Qingxue reached out to grab it.

"Wait a moment."

"Hmm?"

Fang Xuan quickly used the Dragon Slaying Sword to cut open the bodies of the twelve Yakshas on the ground and took out their hearts.

Fang Qingxue's eyes also lit up.

"Can't waste them," Fang Xuan said.

He placed the twelve Yaksha hearts on the altar. As the strange patterns shone with light, a suction force came, continuously absorbing the energy and essence blood from these hearts into the Essence Bloodstone.

A crimson light shone from the Essence Bloodstone, looking even more enchanting. A fragrant scent came from it, making one's blood surge and making them want to swallow it.

Compared to before, the Essence Bloodstone that had absorbed the essence blood of these twelve Yaksha hearts was a whole size larger, and it contained more energy.

Fang Qingxue reached out and grabbed the Essence Bloodstone, her face filled with unconcealed joy.

"Who?"

A roar came from the altar. The two of them felt dizzy and nauseous, wanting to vomit.
