Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 201: Benefactor

Intense pain!

It stings!

Fang Chen’s face contorted in pain. The pain was far more intense, tens or even hundreds of times more intense, than when he had his qi sea crippled by the martial artist of Yingcang at Three World Mountain.

The pain was real, but so was the joy. Supreme Immortal Pudu did not perceive it, but amid Fang Chen's agonizing expression, the smallest hint of a smile rose on his lips.

Supreme Immortal Pudu first saw some scenes he didn't quite understand and that seemed unrelated to the current situation. However, these images quickly disappeared without a trace, and what was left were scenes of the battle at Three World Mountain.

"Are you trying to shield your thoughts from me?" Supreme Immortal Pudu smiled. This was a futile attempt. With his abilities, he could slowly unfold Fang Chen’s mind, unraveling all his secrets.

He was currently seeing what Fang Chen had witnessed on Three World Mountain.

There it was, amidst the scorching sun, a figure. It overlooked the mortal world, with its two eyes that resembled those of a god, exuding supreme majesty.

Supreme Immortal Pudu’s eyes met with hers, and they locked!

"ARGHH!!!"

Supreme Immortal Pudu let out a sharp and miserable scream. His hand had already left Fang Chen's head, covering his own eyes. Blood was flowing continuously, dripping to the ground through his fingertips.

The Golden Incense Body had been broken, and he reverted to his original state.

The stabbing sensation disappeared, and Fang Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, without hesitation, he unleashed the Fireball Technique and Ice Arrow Technique, bombarding Supreme Immortal Pudu.

With Fireballs on his left hand, and Ice Arrows on his right, Fang Chen mercilessly attacked Supreme Immortal Buddha’s vital points, showing no mercy.

Supreme Immortal Pudu seemed to have lost the ability to resist. His flesh was instantly riddled with holes, but his screams continued, carrying extreme fear, horror, and pain.

Plop!

Supreme Immortal Pudu's head was severed, rolling far away. However, what made Fang Chen shudder was that his screams persisted!

"Ah Ah Ah!"

Fang Chen looked at the severed head with a strange expression. Supreme Immortal Pudu's eyes were already filled with blood, and his eyeballs had seemingly melted long ago.

His face maintained that terrifying expression he had before his death. His mouth no longer moved, yet the screams continued to ring in Fang Chen's ears.

The screams were full of terror and anger.

Before his death, it had suddenly dawned on Supreme Immortal Pudu why Fang Chen had returned after his escape. It had to be that his opponent knew that he would use soul search on him, and he knew what would be the result. But he hadn’t been able to wrap his head around one point: who was that figure he had seen, and why was it so terrifying?

"It's not him screaming... No, wait, it is him screaming, or rather, it's his true self, his soul attached to this physical body!" A flash of realization crossed Fang Chen's mind and a look of incredulity appeared on his face. The aftermath was much more severe than he had imagined.

Indeed, Heaven's plans were always more effective than man’s calculations.

"That fairy helped me gain the ability to cultivate and also assisted me in eliminating this physical body of Supreme Immortal Pudu. She is truly my benefactor...."

The screams were slowly fading away, and after a moment, the sound completely disappeared.

Fang Chen felt a bit happy. Supreme Immortal Pudu's true self must also be suffering at the moment. That also indicated that the fairy in the scorching sun was much stronger than Supreme Immortal Pudu.

Merely the scenes from his memories could cause Supreme Immortal Pudu to be in such a state. The gap between the two was probably as vast as the ocean. She’s probably at the same level as those Ancestors, he thought.

His divine soul wasn’t strong enough, which allowed Supreme Immortal Pudu to see some scenes he shouldn't have. Fortunately, it didn't cause any significant harm, and his ultimate goal was achieved.

He immediately started searching the body, but unfortunately, Supreme Immortal Pudu had nothing on him. The only items left behind were probably things they had previously found.

"Well, at least I'm alive, and his physical body is dead. The goal should be considered accomplished."

Fang Chen collected the fragments of the dragon truncheon and then patiently waited for a few days on the Gui Han Mountain.

With a quick calculation, he concluded that the time was probably up, and he set off for the exit.

Due to the destruction of the dragon truncheon, his strength had dropped by several levels. So, he tried his best to avoid any of the ferocious beasts around, but even so, he was still pursued a few times. The journey back wasn’t exactly smooth.

Arriving back at the exit, he saw Ji Congyun, who now looked like a beggar as he hid in the grass, glancing around.

His clothes were torn into long strips, revealing vaguely visible wounds.

"Lord Fang, as you wished, I've bought you quite a bit of time."

Seeing Fang Chen, Ji Congyun immediately ran over, with a gloomy expression on his face. Obviously, he was not satisfied with his recent experiences. He was accustomed to being high and mighty, now that he had endured nearly ten days of being chased by demons, he naturally couldn’t swallow the frustration.

Fang Chen smiled. "Very well, when the time comes, the treasures in this place will be distributed between you and me. Nine to one."

Ji Congyun nodded silently, but his gaze was filled with suspicion as he scrutinized Fang Chen. He was eager to know the true reason behind Fang Chen's return. He couldn't believe that he returned here just to eliminate one person. He was certain Fang Chen had a more important reason.

Moreover, aside from demons, there were no other people there. The Ji Family had been stationed here for many years and never encountered any living beings. He found it hard to believe that there were no other motives for Fang Chen's return.

Just then, he saw a dark silhouette in the air and instinctively almost turned to escape.

Fang Chen said indifferently, "The main gate will open in a few breaths. If you leave now, you'll have to wait another ten days for the next one."

Ji Congyun suppressed the fear in his heart and watched the bat demon approaching, while Fang Chen remained extremely calm.

As expected, the main gate opened a few breaths later, and Fang Chen walked out directly. Ji Congyun hurriedly followed, and the heavy stone in his heart finally dropped.

For some unknown reason, the demons inside would never pass through that exit unless forcibly captured. That was crucial information obtained by the Ji Family when capturing Nightmare War Horses.

Outside the cave, Li Daoye and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Fang Chen safe and sound. Seeing Ji Congyun in such a miserable state, in stark contrast to Fang Chen, the Nightmare Knights couldn't help but show strange expressions.

Indeed, martial artists were still no match for immortal cultivators.

"Lord Fang, is it settled?" Li Daoye asked hurriedly.

Fang Chen nodded slightly.

"Is it for real? That guy is so strong..." Li Daoye swallowed hard, his expression somewhat skeptical.

Fang Chen said as he rolled his eyes and extended his hand, "Enough nonsense. Take a Vermilion Fruit and half of the spirit stones. The rest of the items are mine."
