The Might of the Water-Fire Blast Technique

(New book seeking collections)

The person who rushed out was naturally none other than Wang Yan.

Just watch!

"Go!" Wang Yan's speed was shockingly fast, and he actually dashed to within just a few feet of the Fang Bear Beast-he could even see the chewed flesh all over the beast's mouth clearly. One of his hands surged with blue-light flame, erupting with astonishing chill, while his other hand erupted with astonishing red-light flame, which was extremely scorching!

"Hah!" Suddenly, his hands came together, and the blue-light flame and red-light flame crossed and fused together, abruptly transforming into a head-sized, blue-and-red intertwined spinning water-fire fireball. It erupted with a bizarre burst of red-and-blue intertwined flames, churning with extreme wildness. A heaven-shaking aura surged forth, and along with the Fang Bear Beast, he thrust his hands fiercely forward!

"Water-Fire Blast!"

"Boom!" With an astonishingly crisp red-and-blue light wave that violently impacted outward, the head-sized blue-and-red flame light sphere instantly smashed against the Fang Bear Beast's enormously wide-open mouth. An astonishing blue-and-red flame shockwave blasted outward, transforming into a light cluster several feet large that erupted. With an astonishingly crisp, roaring explosion, countless blue-and-red light waves burst forth, churning the space within a radius of several zhang so that it trembled unceasingly...

"Awoo!" A shrill and incomparably wretched scream, roar, and howl erupted from the Fang Bear Beast. The entire head and physique of the Fang Bear Beast were blasted downward by the flame light sphere of the Water-Fire Blast, violently charging obliquely toward the ground.

With a series of cracks... the two horn-like sharp fangs on the Fang Bear Beast's massive mouth split open.

"Boom!" Amidst a stunning roaring explosion, blue and red flames burst forth, and the earth shook violently. The Fang Bear Beast directly crashed through several huge trees, and countless branches and mud split and splattered in all directions.

Leaves and mud splattered with a rustling sound.

And at this moment.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!" Amidst a rustling sound of impact, Wang Yan's entire body flew out several zhang, falling directly from a patch of large trees and slamming into the ground with a bang. Countless briars and branches scraped Wang Yan until he was extremely uncomfortable, and every bone in his body felt as though it was about to shatter.

"Whoa! Brat! Well done!" Card Fairy cried out with extreme pleasant surprise in Wang Yan's mind.

"Well done my foot! I'm about to be smashed into a meat patty!" Wang Yan was also somewhat excited, but he cursed in his mouth. His figure scrambled up, feeling his whole body ache with unbearable extremity, clearly having suffered very severe injuries.

However!

Wang Yan could not care about the pain either, leaping up abruptly and rushing swiftly in the direction where the Fang Bear Beast had fallen.

He saw that well over a small half of the Fang Bear Beast's entire body had been blasted into the ground, with the surrounding mud churned up. Just the half of its body that remained exposed was taller than Wang Yan's entire person, yet it lay motionless.

"Brat! Be careful! A demon beast's vitality is very formidable, after all!" Card Fairy hurriedly reminded Wang Yan.

"Mn!" Hearing this, Wang Yan nodded. He did not go right over, but instead felt around on the ground for a fist-sized stone and hurled it directly at the Fang Bear Beast.

"Thud!" It landed on the Fang Bear Beast's belly.

Suddenly!

"Whoosh!" An astonishing gale suddenly arose, and the Fang Bear Beast actually turned its body over. Its massive claws lashed directly toward the void, immediately whipping up an astonishing hurricane that seemed as though it would tear the void apart.

Only with a bang did it collapse to the ground... motionless...

"Thankfully!" Wang Yan was startled, his entire figure retreating seven or eight feet in succession. It really gave him a fright, but seeing the head that the Fang Bear Beast had turned around-its entire mouth blown open, with countless demon beast blood flowing continuously, and that roar having made even more fresh blood gush out-allowed Wang Yan to let out a breath of relief.

"Hey! Let me tell you, aren't you being a bit too reckless, kid? You only got lucky this time; this Fang Bear Beast was already extremely depleted and injured to begin with, otherwise how would you ever have a chance to kill a Core Condensation Realm demon beast...!" Card Fairy chattered on, then paused her voice as if noticing something, and hurriedly said, "Eh? This Fang Bear Beast seems to have just advanced to the Core Condensation Realm!"

"Oh! I knew it!" Wang Yan shrugged and said. He glanced at the Fang Bear Beast, though he didn't go over just yet, and said in a deep voice, "Hey! It's not that I'm bold to the point of defying the heavens! With my speed, I definitely wouldn't have been able to escape this fellow's tracking anyway, so I might as well fight it out with it right here!"

"Tsk! What fight it out? If you fight it out like this and happen to fail, your little life will be gone. Once your little life is gone... what else do you have left to cultivate immortality?" Card Fairy scolded. She was now bound in fate to Wang Yan; if Wang Yan was done for, she would be nearly done for as well, so naturally her resentment soared to the heavens.

That's right!

This was all Wang Yan's extremely risky plan...

Just as Wang Yan had stated, this Fang Bear Beast was at the Core Condensation Realm. Although it looked as though it had just advanced to the Core Condensation Realm and was injured, having consumed a great deal of magic power, it was still a Core Condensation Realm demon beast after all. Generally speaking, it was simply not something a cultivator at the Minor Completion of the Cultivation Realm like Wang Yan could handle.

However, he was too close to this Fang Bear Beast; running definitely wouldn't outrun it. In reality, Wang Yan also had some designs on this Fang Bear Beast-this was a Core Condensation Realm demon beast, after all. As long as he took this fellow down, its entire body of materials and vital essence, if taken out and sold, would be enough to let Wang Yan trade for sufficient medicinal pills and the like to cultivate all the way to Great Completion of the Cultivation Realm. How could Wang Yan not be tempted by this Fang Bear Beast?

The reason Wang Yan brought the brawny cultivator's corpse along was, firstly, to act as bait, and secondly, to mask the aura on his body. Most of the fresh blood all over him belonged to this brawny cultivator. He had then climbed up this tree and used that bone blade to nail this brawny cultivator onto the trunk seven or eight zhang high.

The reason he nailed this brawny cultivator to the tree was because this was the place where he had hidden the black-furred ape's blood on the tree. Nailing him at a height of seven or eight zhang was just right to make the Fang Bear Beast have to leap up in order to reach him, and Wang Yan seized the opportunity to smash those beast blood containers holding the black-furred ape's blood right into the Fang Bear Beast's eyes, blocking its vision...

And then he launched his attack.

This time, he wouldn't use any Fireball Spells-those were completely useless against a Core Condensation Realm demon beast. He directly switched to the Water-Fire Blast Technique Immortal Card. At such close range, blasting it right into the open mouth of the Fang Bear Beast naturally blew the creature's massive mouth to pieces all at once.

If he had blasted any other part of the Fang Bear Beast, given its thick-skinned and tough defense, the Water-Fire Blast Technique might not truly have taken its little life. It could be considered a scheme by Wang Yan that was extremely perilous in its execution...

What was relatively unexpected was that.

This Fang Bear Beast truly lived up to being a Core Condensation Realm demon beast; its intelligence was relatively high. It hadn't fallen easily for the trick and had even dealt Wang Yan a counter-attack...

Ever since Wang Yan was framed by Wang Ziling.

And after he witnessed the scene of the Fang Bear Beast devouring that female cultivator upon the tree trunk.

He had already concluded.

That this world was a world where the strong ate the weak. Either you ate people, or others ate you; either people ate you, or demon beasts ate you...

Wang Yan had grown somewhat indifferent toward life, but it also seemed to be due to the progress in his cultivation, which caused his state of mind to view things a little differently. And this difference seemed to stem precisely from that changed perspective on things.

"Hey... I'm telling you, brat, being insatiably greedy like this is extremely dangerous!" That Card Fairy was still chattering away in Wang Yan's mind...

"Ugh! Card Fairy!" Wang Yan shrugged, and suddenly spoke up: "Let me ask you something!"

"What is it?"

"Is there a way if I don't want to hear you talking in my divine sense?" Wang Yan put it that way.

"Uh... Brat! So it turns out you find this Fairy too naggy? If not for this Fairy's Immortal Card and this Fairy saving you, you would have already become fish food!" Hearing this, Card Fairy was stunned at first, and then began to curse as if a volcano had erupted...

No matter how Card Fairy raved and ranted in Wang Yan's mind, she ended up even starting to sing a song.

Wang Yan walked swiftly to the side of the Fang Bear Beast. Seeing that the Fang Bear Beast was definitely dead, he finally let out a breath of relief, but next he began to feel troubled: with the Fang Bear Beast being so huge, how was he supposed to dissect it? That bone blade from earlier had also been batted away by the Fang Bear Beast somewhere unknown.

"Right!" As if remembering something, Wang Yan hurriedly galloped forward. He still remembered that the brawny cultivator had a regular longblade magic artifact that had been dropped ahead; dissecting it would be easy using that magic artifact, and those bow and arrows and whatnot had also been dropped in that same place... Naturally, he needed to collect them all.

"Whoa! A storage bag!" When Wang Yan was gathering those spoils of war, he discovered a new continent, crying out with extreme pleasant surprise. He fished a storage bag out from the brawny cultivator's body, and spiritual light directly dotted the surface of this storage bag-clearly it was no ordinary storage bag...

"Let me take a look!" With a thought in Wang Yan's heart, his magic power sensed inward into the storage bag... After a long moment, he couldn't help saying with pleasant surprise, "Such a large storage bag! It's several times bigger than my original one!"

Storage bags were spatial treasures unique to immortal cultivators. Wang Yan had originally possessed one as well, which had cost him more than half a year of hard toil to earn, but when he was ambushed by Wang Ziling, that storage bag had already been snatched away by that Wang Ziling... so naturally he no longer had it.

"This bastard! I'll definitely go back and kill that fellow!" Wang Yan thought to himself in his heart: Now that I have the Immortal Card and my cultivation has reached the Minor Completion of the Cultivation Realm, once I recover from my injuries I'll go back and settle accounts with that fellow!

His original storage bag's storage space was only seven or eight feet square, while this one was two zhang in size, which naturally gave Wang Yan a great deal of pleasant surprise. Inside there were also some dense caches of medicinal pills and the like, along with a small amount of materials, which could also be considered part of the harvest.

Wang Yan collected the belongings of the female cultivator and the brawny cultivator, and without even caring about tending to his injuries, he directly set about dissecting the corpse of the Fang Bear Beast. This Fang Bear Beast was a Core Condensation Realm demon beast, after all, and its entire body was a treasure; naturally, he couldn't let it go to waste. Worth mentioning was that Wang Yan actually found yet another storage bag from among the devoured remains of the female cultivator's corpse. The space inside that one wasn't small either, and it held quite a few good items.

Seven or eight days later.

Within a forest, five or six cultivators of shockingly fast speed were flying, fleeing, and leaping across countless tree branches. Among them was precisely the long-robed young cultivator who had escaped that day, while leading the way in front of him was a middle-aged man around thirty or forty years of age, whose entire aura carried a posture of extreme astonishment.

"Dammit! Why did you go provoke a Core Condensation Realm demon beast? You even lost this old man's Thousand Spirit Arrow! If it can't be found, don't blame this old man for being merciless." Seeing the middle-aged man running swiftly, he cursed at the long-robed youth...

"...!" The long-robed youth wore a gloomy face and said nothing, not even daring to let out a single fart...
