It Wouldn't Be Fun Otherwise

"Smack!"

With a crisp thud, Fang Li's figure shot towards Nero like a cannonball.

There was no way Fang Li would let Nero escape.

After all, hunting Dead Apostle is one of Fang Li's Main Quest.

To achieve this goal, Fang Li brought back Arcueid, who had been targeted by Nero.

Now, a high-ranking Dead Apostle is right in front of him. If he kills this Dead Apostle at the level of the Twenty-Seventh Ancestor, Fang Li's evaluation will definitely not be low.

Therefore, Fang Li would absolutely not let Nero escape.

However, Fang Li was rushing toward Nero at an astonishing speed, suddenly saw it.

"Snort..."

Nero, his coat billowing in the wind, is laughing.

And at that very moment, an extraordinary phenomenon occurred.

"Gurgle..."

It was a sound like a viscous liquid rolling.

Almost the instant that voice rang out, Arcueid's voice came from behind Fang Li.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!"

Unfortunately, Arcueid's reminder came a little too late.

Fang Li has stopped.

However, that was not an action taken by the individual.

"Gurgle—gurgle—gurgle—!"

Suddenly, a layer of jet-black, slimy mud on the ground seemed to lift the darkness of night, swirling and turning into a vortex that swept up Fang Li, who was rushing towards Nero, enveloping his feet and fixing him in place.

"This is..."

Fang Li's eyes narrowed.

These black sludge particles are clearly the prototypes of the beasts released from Nero's body.

All the ferocious beasts that Fang Li killed instantly turned into black mud, disappeared on the spot, and returned to pure factors, returning to Nero's body to revive again.

However, this time, Nero did not retrieve them at all.

"Remember this, human. I am not manipulating beasts, but the essence of beasts. So, even if I refine pure beast essence into black mud, I can control this black mud and make it participate in the battle."

Nero laughed mercilessly.

"I call this mud the Genesis Soil. There are more than two hundred kinds of beasts that you just killed. I have refined them into this mud. Its quality is so high that even a high-ranking Dead Apostle cannot break free from it. You, a human, should not even think about breaking free from its restraints."

In other words, Nero never intended to escape.

What I just said was nothing but a trap.

"Although he is a human whose combat power is comparable to that of the Burial Agency's agents, how could I, Nero Chaos, possibly run away from a mere human?"

Nero's mechanically cold eyes stared directly at Fang Li.

"Didn't you say that if we wanted to deal with you, we should at least bring out something of Demon Beast- level?"

"Now, I will grant your wish!"

After saying that, Nero finally took his hand out of his coat pocket, and like a claw, grabbed his chest under his fluttering coat and tore it apart.

Within Nero's torn chest, in the pitch-black void, an unprecedented beast emerged.

It was a winged lizard, as large as a mammoth.

There are three of them.

"I used the remaining three hundred kinds of beast factors to refine these three Demon Beast. You should feel satisfied to use them to kill you."

As Nero confirmed his victory, the three enormous Demon Beast raised their heads one after another and looked at Fang Li.

"————Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch———"

The roar, like that of a giant dragon, transformed into rolling sound waves that swept in all directions.

Immediately, the three Demon Beast simultaneously flapped their wings, roaring wildly and frantically, and charged one after another towards Fang Li, who was fixed in place by the Genesis Soil Fang Li.

An incomparably ferocious aura emanated from the three-headed Demon Beast, suffocating all who beheld it.

Faced with such a deadly threat, Fang Li seemed to be paralyzed with fear, standing frozen in place without moving an inch, as if resigned to his fate and waiting to die.

"That idiot!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Arcueid clicked his tongue in surprise, his limbs tensed, and he immediately wanted to rush forward.

Although she was in an extremely weak state, Arcueid's strength had recovered somewhat after resting.

Even if they couldn't defeat those three Demon Beast that contained the essence of three hundred different wild beasts within Nero, they could at least buy some time for Fang Li to escape.

This is the only thing Arcueid can do.

Otherwise, once Fang Li dies, Arcueid will almost certainly die as well.

Therefore, Arcueid's judgment was absolutely correct.

However, they underestimated Fang Li's abilities.

The next second, Fang Li's voice rang out.

"Very good..."

It was an extremely calm sound.

"It wouldn't be fun otherwise..."

If Nero's declaration was a confirmation of his victory, then Fang Li's words were words that showed he had never doubted his own defeat.

Even if the opponent is the tenth of the twenty-seven oldest and most powerful Dead Apostle.

Even when faced with such a desperate situation.

Then, the Ice-Blue Demon Eyes emitted an extraordinary light.

"————Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch———"

The roars of the non-existent Demon Beast still echoed.

Its fierce aura remained as violent as ever.

Fang Li saw the three-headed Demon Beast rushing towards him, each one comparable in size to a giant elephant, many times larger than himself.

I saw it...

----"die".

Although they were far fewer than ordinary creatures, proving that they were not fragile, the crack-like Death Lines were still clearly imprinted in Fang Li's eyes.

"Buzz..."

The Pure Star Imperial Armament named Bō Xié trembled slightly.

Sparks of starlight shone on Fang Li's body.

Fang Li simply lifted the Pure Star Imperial Armament in his hand.

"Flash Sheath - One Mile Four Crossings!"

Countless sword lights danced and rose, transforming into a battle formation, forming four deadly sword formations that poured out like a storm.

Before the three-headed Demon Beast could even react, countless sword dances enveloped them.

Life has severed the past.

"Pfft—!"

The sound of flesh being torn apart was perfectly synchronized and reached the ears of everyone present.

The three Demon Beast were all torn apart, instantly slashed by countless sword flashes, scattered into chunks of flesh, rolling all over the ground like garbage.

"————!"

Nero's eyes widened.

Arcueid stopped in his tracks.

As if witnessing the most incredible Matoba in the world, both the True Ancestor's princess and the high-ranking Dead Apostle were simultaneously shocked.

That's an expression that you might not see even after hundreds of years.

Even Nero murmured under these circumstances.

"How is that possible..."
