"This living being is no simple creature. Taotie dying at his hands was hardly unjust. I am only a hair stronger than Taotie myself—I fear I am no match for this person..."
Buried under the rubble, Qiongqi felt a surge of crisis rise in his heart. A single word—flee—filled his mind.
Having made up his mind, Qiongqi did not linger in battle. Bursting out from the rubble, he spread his wings and shot into the air!
"Trying to run? If I don't agree, do you think you can get away?"
Xie Fang sneered. With a flicker of thought, he tore through space itself and stepped out in a single stride!
When he reappeared, he was already above Qiongqi!
Then, without using any magical treasure, Xie Fang dove straight down, smashing headlong toward Qiongqi!
At the Quasi-Saint realm, the strength of Xie Fang's physical body was already no less than that of any innate treasure!
Moreover, he bore the Law of Power. Under the acceleration of his center of gravity, his entire descent felt like the heavens collapsing!
Mid-flight, Qiongqi saw a mass of golden light plummeting from above. His eyes widened in terror, and he twisted his four limbs, trying to veer away from Xie Fang.
But since Xie Fang had struck with full force, he would not give Qiongqi another chance. He pushed the Law of Power to its limit and threw a single, devastating punch!
Boom—
Accompanied by a dull, rumbling roar, the fist light smashed into the void, leaving cracks spreading like a spiderweb!
When power reached its peak, it could produce a qualitative change!
This punch combined Xie Fang's Law of Power with all his mana. No matter how tough Qiongqi's body or how swift his movements, there was no way to dodge.
"Roar—"
After a miserable howl, Qiongqi's aura withered. The vibrant life force within him was shattered by more than half under that single blow!
After the punch, Qiongqi lay gasping on the ground, stars spinning before his eyes, blood flowing from all seven orifices. Thick, bloody breath spewed from his mouth, and his intestines were green with regret.
Why had he provoked this fiend?
So what if he killed Taotie? What did that have to do with him? He should never have let the promise of merit cloud his judgment. Now, not only had he failed to earn favor in Lord Huang Ni's eyes, but he had also thrown himself into the pit...
Yet while Qiongqi wallowed in regret, Xie Fang did not stop!
He had to beat Qiongqi into submission!
Otherwise, how could this little tiger willingly tell him the whereabouts of Old Ancestor Yin-Yang?
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
Xie Fang kicked Qiongqi's massive body into the air with a single blow!
Then, he tore through space again, appearing above Qiongqi, and stomped down hard!
Qiongqi, now like a cannonball or a meteor, plummeted toward the ground under that kick!
But Xie Fang tore through space once more, appearing below Qiongqi, and kicked him back into the sky!
A body as vast as a mountain was kicked back and forth by Xie Fang, yet Qiongqi had not a shred of strength to resist!
"What's that over there?"
"Hm? Looks like the ferocious beast Qiongqi!"
"Indeed, it is Qiongqi! But why is Qiongqi in such a state? And who is that being beating him?"
"Tsk... This person is utterly brutal!"
The Primordial World was not lacking in living beings, including remnants of the Three Primordial Races and many ferocious beasts.
The commotion from Xie Fang and Qiongqi's direction naturally drew the attention of countless creatures, all turning to look.
One by one, their faces filled with disbelief!
This was no longer a battle!
It was pure, one-sided domination—a complete thrashing!
As a renowned powerhouse among the ferocious beasts, Qiongqi's cultivation base had long reached the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!
Moreover, he had awakened his intelligence long ago. Amid the slaughter that swept the land, the name Qiongqi inspired sheer terror.
Yet now, this fearsome, dreadful beast was being beaten and crushed without mercy!
For tens of thousands of miles around, countless living beings watched as Xie Fang finally stopped, and Qiongqi crashed to the ground with a bang, drenched in blood, his aura faint, battered and broken. All were left speechless.
At this moment, Xie Fang also noticed that Qiongqi had only one breath left. If he didn't stop, he might soon hear the system notification.
He still needed to learn the whereabouts of Old Ancestor Yin-Yang from Qiongqi, so this last punch could not be thrown.
"Now, can you answer my question?"
Xie Fang stepped on Qiongqi's massive head and said calmly, "Have you seen an old man wearing a Yin-Yang Daoist Robe?"
Qiongqi, now with only a single breath left, trembled under Xie Fang's foot. Mustering his last bit of strength, he spoke: "I'll talk... I'll talk... I did encounter a primordial being whose appearance matches your description... He was indeed wearing a Yin-Yang Daoist Robe..."
"Where is he now?"
Xie Fang's voice was calm, but beneath it, a thread of killing intent lurked.
Qiongqi dared not delay this time, scrambling to reply: "At the time, I and Taotie fought that Daoist, and we ended up at a stalemate. But he was guarding some treasure then, so he probably never left..."
"Speak. Where is he?"
Hearing that Xie Fang seemed intent on leaving to find the Daoist, Qiongqi now wished nothing more than for Xie Fang to go, and quickly said: "It's in a valley eight thousand li east of here..."
"Good."
Xie Fang nodded. Qiongqi had just let out a sigh of relief when Xie Fang's fist came crashing down: "You dare lie to me? You're dead!"
Under that single punch, the system's pleasant chime rang out.
"Ding, congratulations to host for killing the ferocious beast Qiongqi, gaining Experience Points +285,520,000."
The last shred of life was snuffed out, and even the Primordial Spirit was reduced to ashes beneath that fist. Qiongqi's face still bore a human-like expression of relief, never expecting that Xie Fang would kill him outright!
"Sss—!"
"He actually killed Qiongqi!"
"Qiongqi was the most capable ferocious beast under Beast God Huang Ni! Isn't he afraid of provoking Beast God Huang Ni into hunting him down?"
As Xie Fang's punch finished off Qiongqi, the watching creatures all drew in sharp breaths.
Hearing these murmurs, Xie Fang only gave a cold laugh.
Ridiculous. Beast God Huang Ni? He had already offended both the Kirin Clan and the Dragon Clan, not to mention Old Ancestor Yin-Yang and the Devil Ancestor Luohu!
Would he be afraid of offending another Beast God Huang Ni?
Which of those figures wasn't far stronger than Beast God Huang Ni?
With that, Xie Fang composed himself, ignored the creatures, and directly tore open space, heading east!
Eight thousand li east—that was precisely where Old Ancestor Yin-Yang was!
In the blink of an eye, space split, and Xie Fang stepped into the place Qiongqi had indicated.
As his divine sense expanded, Xie Fang indeed detected the familiar aura of his old acquaintance, Old Ancestor Yin-Yang.
Old Ancestor Yin-Yang was right here!
