NOVPUBThe sound was deafening, causing the surrounding ice and snow to rustle and fall.
Yet no cultivator was seen coming out.
"Could it be they’re not here?"
Wang Ba frowned slightly.
He had traveled tens of thousands of miles, crossing mountains and seas to come here. If the other party wasn’t here, wouldn’t his efforts have been in vain?
He was hesitating whether to wait here or call out again.
Just then, a bell suddenly leapt out from Wang Ba’s Middle Dantian.
"The God-Sealing Bell?!"
Wang Ba was startled.
However, the God-Sealing Bell took the initiative to jump into Wang Ba’s palm.
Ying He and Li Yingfu were both somewhat puzzled.
"Has Fanming already arrived in this vicinity?"
Wang Ba’s heart trembled, and he no longer cared about considering the matters of his senior.
He swiftly raised his hand and shook it!
The next moment, a frail cry suddenly rang out!
Hearing this sound, Wang Ba’s face stiffened slightly.
He couldn’t help but look in surprise toward the turquoise paulownia tree not far away.
The leaves of the paulownia tree, aflame, began to sway ever so slightly.
And amidst these leaves, a hint of purple-black flashed before Wang Ba’s eyes, gone in an instant...
"Fanming... Fanming was actually hiding here?!"
Wang Ba’s heart was greatly shaken.
He immediately realized.
It was not Fanming chasing after him; rather, he had been heading toward Fanming all along.
But he still immediately stepped back without hesitation.
Ying He and Li Yingfu also sensed the aura of Fanming hiding within the flames of the treetop at the same time. Shocked, they both retreated rapidly, staring vigilantly at the treetop.
The treetop swayed.
Black wings unfolded from the fiery treetop.
Fanming, awakened by the God-Sealing Bell, finally stretched out its large red-crowned head, squatted in the treetop, its body trembling slightly with a set of oppressive pupils swiftly scanning around.
Upon seeing Wang Ba, its eyes first widened in surprise, then they couldn’t help but reveal extreme brutality, hatred, anger, and a hint of... grievance.
"Damn it! It really was you!"
It really couldn’t understand.
It had already fled so far, even preferring to cross the bitterly cold sea to this place with sparse Spiritual Energy, to hatch its offspring alone in the snow.
Why did this human cultivator still not spare it?
And that trace of grievance quickly transformed into even more extreme anger:
"Die!"
The wings slightly spread, and the two vertical pupils upon them suddenly opened!
They shone toward Wang Ba and his companions, Ying He and Li Yingfu.
Li Yingfu was immediately affected, his gaze quickly becoming confused.
But in Ying He’s eyes, a struggle appeared, which, before long, also turned into emptiness.
Only Wang Ba’s eyes briefly flashed a deeper red, completely unaffected.
"It really was you who broke my illusion technique last time!"
Though Fanming’s body remained hidden in the treetop, a cold glint appeared in its eyes.
The very next moment, Ying He and Li Yingfu suddenly made their move, striking out toward Wang Ba!
Faced with this sudden change, Wang Ba seemed to have anticipated it and was not flustered. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
He quickly mobilized the Power of the Yin God.
The deep red in his eyes flared again briefly.
Ying He and Li Yingfu’s eyes also flashed with the same red... and soon regained clarity.
Realizing the ineffectiveness of its illusion, Fanming was shocked, although it had somewhat expected it. It’s reaction didn’t escape notice:
"Such speed!"
That one could counteract its illusion so rapidly was beyond its expectations.
Meanwhile, Wang Ba’s expression was ice-cold as he flooded his body with the Mother Qi of Myriad Laws and gently shook the God-Sealing Bell in his hand.
He had discerned that Fanming’s current state was abnormal.
Although unclear why Fanming’s condition was far from before, knowing that Fanming had no ability to counter the God-Sealing Bell, he would not miss this opportunity.
’Ding Ling!’
A clear sound of the bell rang out.
Fanming felt its already somewhat fuzzy consciousness blur once more.
A powerful sense of restraint from the God-Sealing Bell made it involuntarily want to fly toward that human cultivator’s location.
Thankfully, its state was not purely that of a Primordial Spirit.
The leak-free body of Bing 1, which prevented the escape of its Primordial Spirit, also gave it the power to avoid being completely suppressed by the God-Sealing Bell.
But with an enemy in front and constraints behind...
Resentment and fury pierced through its rationality at the same moment.
It could no longer bear it.
Its wings thunderously flapped!
The fiery-red leaves from the treetop immediately struck towards Wang Ba and the others!
At the same time, it also burst out from the canopy, pouncing towards Wang Ba!
Dodging the fiery leaves, Wang Ba stared straight at Fanming’s bulging abdomen, which looked as though it was burdened with a ten-month pregnancy, his eyes carrying a rare hint of shock.
"This... It... Could it be, it’s laying eggs?!"
Unbelievable.
Incomprehensible.
But what followed immediately was a thick sense of curiosity.
Fanming’s body was that of a castrated heavenly being, and although it was unknown how Fanming managed to achieve the feat of laying eggs with such a body.
Yet, he was very curious about what would be different about the eggs laid by Bing 1.
However, he soon realized he had misjudged the effect of the God-Sealing Bell.
Fanming’s primordial spirit was not pulled out by the God-Sealing Bell, instead, it drove the flesh to charge towards him with a roar!
Ying He rushed forward without hesitation.
The light flowed over his palms as he forcefully struck towards Fanming.
But Fanming did not even look at him, the vertical pupils on its wings slightly opening.
Even though Ying He was on guard, he was caught off guard in an instant.
His eyes suddenly turned vacant and dispersed.
Kicked forcefully by Fanming’s claws, he uncontrollably slammed hard onto the ice and snow below.
His condition was unknown.
Li Yingfu, however, had preemptively positioned himself in front of Wang Ba, seeing the previously overwhelmingly strong Ying He fail to withstand even a single exchange with Fanming, he was instantly terrified!
In a moment of thought, he quickly made a decision, grinding his teeth he said,
"Chief Division Master, run!"
Before his words fell, he immediately hurled forth many magic tools and talismans, all at once.
Dust rose in all directions.
Fanming’s figure was instantly submerged by the various lights!
Fanming’s figure was even invisible.
As a cultivator of Diwu Hall, not to mention anything else, he had all these objects at his disposal.
Before coming here, he had learned from the previous lesson in Chen State, thus he had prepared many treasures for magical combat, just to prevent such situations.
But he did not expect they would actually come in handy.
"At least, this will buy the Chief Division Master some time!"
Li Yingfu secretly rejoiced in his heart.
However, in the next moment, bewilderment arose in his eyes.
Boom!
The Spirit Chicken, with a hint of purple in its blackness, burst out from the explosion sounds and the chaotic lights.
Its originally neat and slick feathers were clearly damaged a lot.
The lower abdomen also revealed skin full of bumpy pores, and even a small part of a white chicken egg was visible.
In its eyes, there was a trace of shame and fury.
As a divine beast, and originally male, it now carried a large belly, and the egg inside its stomach... its complex feelings were indescribable to others.
But being seen by a human cultivator, this was absolutely unacceptable!
Thinking of this, it wished it could immediately tear the human cultivator across from it to shreds!
But before it could pounce,
the human cultivator across from it was already rapidly entangled by a black mass that resembled dragons but not quite, loaches but not quite.
And the aura emanating from the cultivator was swiftly climbing!
Fanming only took a glance but no longer cared.
It didn’t fear these things in the slightest.
Right now, it only wanted to kill the opponent, then continue laying eggs!
"Hmm? What’s this...?"
The human cultivator across suddenly slashed out a sword light that made it pay some attention.
But after sensing the power within, it only snorted coldly.
Without dodging, it charged straight ahead!
The sword light that landed on its body only sliced off a few feathers, not even leaving the slightest mark.
Just then, the cultivator suddenly raised his hand.
Immediately following, an injured White Tiger covered in wounds flew out from his sleeve!
