Before dawn.
“Young master, don’t go…”
Fang Xi watched over Lily, who was still talking in her sleep, shook his head, and placed several small jade bottles on the table.
Contained within were some low-grade healing and detoxifying pills from the Cultivation World.
In Great Liang, these would be considered ‘Divine Pills’ that money couldn’t buy!
He walked out of the room and came to the training field.
“White cloud turns to dark cloud, dark cloud turns to black cloud!”
Mu Piaomiao moved like the wind, her palm strikes flowing with her movements, displaying True Power so mighty that she had finally broken through the black cloud stage, becoming a True Strength Martial Artist!
“Congratulations, junior sister, on reaching the Master of the Martial Arts School Realm!”
Fang Xi said with a smile upon seeing this.
“I also have to thank senior brother for the Qi Blood Pills you gave me yesterday. I had no idea that this Spiritual Pill would be so miraculously effective…”
Mu Piaomiao, recalling the generous gesture of her senior brother giving her a box of gold the day before, still felt like she was in a dream.
Compared to gold and silver, the effects of this Spiritual Pill were even more unbelievable.
She had taken just one pill and felt a breakthrough in her Qi and blood, smoothly advancing to the level of the Master of the Martial Arts School.
That entire bottle of Qi Blood Pills could ensure that every generation in the martial arts school would have a Master!
This was a legacy well maintained!
“I wonder about this Spiritual Pill…”
She looked towards Fang Xi, knowing she shouldn’t ask, yet she couldn’t help her curiosity.
“Oh, I happened to encounter the same person who sold me the Spiritual Pills when I was traveling outside recently, so I simply bought some more…”
Nowadays, those Spiritual Pills were but a drop in the ocean for Fang Xi.
“So that’s how it is…” Mu Piaomiao said, her eyes welling up with tears as they suddenly began to flow, “It’s wonderful… If only senior brother could have arrived earlier, then my father would have…”
Upon hearing this, Fang Xi fell silent.
The suddenness of human life and death was just like this.
That’s why he was determined to follow the Immortal Path, seeking Long Life!
…
Youjian Martial Arts School.
Fang Xi, with hands clasped behind his back, walked into the inner part of the school.
Compared to the obscurity and quietness of the past, the Youjian Martial Arts School had undergone a huge transformation.
Not only had it been expanded several times over, but even its gilded signboard looked quite imposing.
Even with the chaos of an encroaching army, there were still a few apprentices.
However, Fang Xi observed that they all seemed slothful and well-fed, appearing as though they were noble young masters here to place their bets.
“Who are you? If you’re here to sign up for martial arts, go to the back to pay…”
Sun Hongdie, now a married woman, was helping out in the school. Seeing Fang Xi, she rolled her eyes, “I’ve said it many times already, my master Sorrowful To A Ghost is not with the bandits…”
Fang Xi, in his true appearance, managed to be unrecognized by Sun Hongdie who was used to seeing Fang Leng.
By now, Fang Xi no longer cared about hiding his identity.
“It’s me!”
He spoke indifferently, and his familiar tone instantly made Sun Hongdie’s eyes widen, “Master… are you wearing one of those legendary human skin masks? Let me touch…”
“Scram!”
Facing such a disrespectful female apprentice, Fang Xi always believed in strict discipline.
After reprimanding Sun Hongdie, he entered the inner part of the martial arts school and saw Qing Sang.
“Ma… Master, you’ve returned? That’s wonderful, with the invading army pressing in, I really didn’t know what to do…”
After Sun Hongdie explained, Qing Sang quickly recognized Fang Xi.
After all, having lived together for a while, it was possible to discern a familiar aura.
“You needn’t worry about that, the so-called siege by the army… will be resolved soon,” Fang Xi waved his hand.
After all, many of his acquaintances lived in Tri-Element City, and should the city fall, many would lose their families and lives.
He didn’t mind stepping in if it was within his capacity.
…
At night.
Receiving the signal from Fang Xi, Linghu Shan from Yuanhe Mountain quickly made his way over.
“Brother Fang!”
Linghu Shan clasped his hands together, his face showing a hint of worry.
“Which side will Yuanhe Mountain stand on in this army’s attack?” Fang Xi asked directly.
“We will stand on neither side. With the power of Yuanhe Mountain, regardless of who eventually takes over the throne, Ding State will not be without a share for us,” Linghu Shan replied cheerfully, “It’s just that during the battle, some property will be lost… Sigh, what’s headaches me is that those brothels have all closed down recently…”
“Alright, what about the Grandmaster Conference?” Fang Xi asked again.
“Generally, they lean towards the current imperial court. After all, the development of the Grandmaster Conference is deeply tied to the court…” Linghu Shan answered.
Fang Xi thought of Han Fatty, who would not have managed to place himself in the Demon Hunting Building without the operation of the Grandmaster Conference.
“Hmm, with that, I also have a measure,” Fang Xi nodded. “By the way, does any Grandmaster support this wave of the invading army? Do you know where they are from?”
As they discussed this, Linghu Shan’s expression suddenly turned somewhat grim. “They’re people from the ‘Destiny Reversing Association’…”
Fang Xi learned the general situation from Linghu Shan’s account. The so-called ‘Destiny Reversing Association’ was actually a force that had split from the ‘Grandmaster Conference.’
Its leader, ‘Pang Fei,’ possessed a cultivation that had astonishingly reached the Great Grandmaster realm where ‘Gang Qi circulated throughout the body,’ even comparable to the leader of the Grandmaster Conference.
This man, having failed to become the leader, left with his followers in a rage, establishing the ‘Destiny Reversing Association’!
He also had unique insights on how to breakthrough above the level of Grandmaster.
“To breakthrough using one’s influence?”
Fang Xi was startled.
“Indeed…” Linghu Shan said, “This person also follows the True Gang transformation pathway, but he believes that there is a limit to the vital energy and blood of humans. No matter how much one taps into their potential, it is still a futile effort, akin to drawing water with a basket. Therefore, he seeks to borrow ‘momentum’ from external forces to break through!”
“‘Momentum’ can be the power of heaven and earth, or the power of people! For example, gathering the momentum of an army, and even… the awe-inspiring momentum of ascending to the throne of the supreme Emperor! To this end, he created his own martial arts technique, named ‘Emperor Dragon Fist’! It is indeed a stroke of genius, with overwhelming power that grows with the magnitude of the momentum behind it!”
“No wonder he’s supporting the rebel forces—he intends to become the Emperor! Emperor Dragon Fist, huh?”
Fang Xi couldn’t help but feel emotional.
If this person really became the Emperor, and the Emperor Dragon Fist reached its pinnacle, who could imagine what that would be like?
“Sigh… Back in the day, he was on par with the leader of the association, but now, with the uprising gaining momentum and him wielding the might of an army, I’m afraid even our leader would find it difficult to withstand…” Linghu Shan sighed, “I’m afraid Tri-element City… won’t hold.”
While the two were discussing, a series of mournful military bugle calls suddenly erupted from the distance, getting closer and closer.
Clip-clop!
The sounds of ten thousand horses galloping approached swiftly from afar.
“The rebel forces are attacking the city!!”
Cries of alarm, one after another like a relay, filled the city in an instant!
“Let’s take a look!”
With his hands behind his back, Fang Xi lightly tapped his feet and leaped onto a rooftop. With force from his steps, he moved as if riding the wind, like a giant bird, and in a blink, he flew out ninety feet.
“Brother Fang, wait for this old man!”
Behind him, Linghu Shan chased desperately, but the more he chased, the farther he fell behind.
…
Atop the city wall.
Fang Xi stood at the top of a watchtower and saw the enemy’s formation from afar, like waves of black tide surging forward.
Their momentum was like a mountain! Their invasion like fire! It was enough to make anyone’s color change!
On the city wall, many martial artists conscripted at the last minute looked at the scene shaking in their boots.
Under the pressure of thousands of troops and horses, even a Grandmaster would only end up encircled and perish!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After three beats of the war drum, the rebel forces slowly halted. A horseman raced forward, shooting toward the city wall like an arrow and shouted, “People of Tri-element City, listen up, I’m giving you half an hour. If you don’t surrender, once the city falls, there will be a massacre for three days!”
He intentionaly showed off his martial prowess, and his voice carried far and wide, making every martial artist who heard it pale: “Is that a Grandmaster issuing orders?!”
“Damn it, I heard that the discipline in the rebel army is terrible and they often massacre cities; it’s actually true.”
“What do we do? What do we do?”
…
“Brother Fang, you have to be careful, there are too many in the rebel forces. Together with the Grandmaster, they could tear this old skeleton of mine apart…”
With a gust of wind, Linghu Shan appeared atop the watchtower as well.
Fang Xi remained silent, scanning toward White Cloud Martial Arts School and Youjian Martial Arts School. He casually threw off his long robe.
Whoosh!
Instantly, a set of silver-white armor appeared on his body!
— Spirit Snake Armor!
He put on his helmet, and with a light leap, he jumped down from the city wall, gliding like he was flying, and headed straight for the rebel forces!
“Who is that?”
The Grandmaster who had delivered the message saw someone jumping down and thought the person was courting death, but upon witnessing that extraordinary lightness skill, he was astounded.
“The one who will kill you!”
In Fang Xi’s hands, a Dark Iron Sword materialized, and with a gentle swing!
The next moment, the messenger Grandmaster and his mount were both bisected!
With a long howl, Fang Xi charged into the midst of the rebel forces!
“Release the arrows!”
Countless arrows, like raindrops, came shooting in, sealing off a large area. Even a Grandmaster’s agility would struggle to escape!
Clang clang clatter!
The next second, countless arrows landed on Fang Xi, all blocked by the Spirit Snake Armor, not even a white mark on its surface.
“Is this… a divine being?”
Linghu Shan watched the scene, almost yanking his own beard off in astonishment, his face agape.
“Iron Butcher!”
Seeing Fang Xi breaking through the formation, a group of heavy armored knights whistled a charge, sweeping over like a tidal wave.
But in the next instant, Fang Xi’s blade emitted a three-inch sword beam, slicing through the thick iron armor like tofu, instantly cutting chains, and any soldier standing in his way was no match for a single sword strike!
“What audacity!”
Watching Fang Xi break the formation with one sword, several Grandmasters, disguised as ordinary soldiers, surrounded Fang Xi and burst forth forcefully!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fist! Palm! Leg!
Three True Gang joined hands, tearing Fang Xi’s outer Gang Qi garment and striking the Spirit Snake Armor.

But in the next instant, these three Grandmasters were horrified to find that the potency of their strikes was reduced by seven or eight layers through the Spirit Snake Armor, utterly incapable of injuring Fang Xi within!
Fang Xi merely infused Gang Qi into his Dark Iron Sword and with a light sweep, spun half a circle!
Swish!
All three Grandmasters were chopped in half at the waist, screaming in agony.
The surrounding soldiers, human after all, were so frightened by this spectacle that they began retreating in panic, despite military officers killing others trying to stop them.
“That’s not a human, it’s a monster!”
“Even the Grandmasters are dead, run…run!”
…
In the chaos, Fang Xi cut his way through, aiming straight for the commanding flag!
The flag is the courage of the army!
No matter how great the danger, the flag must not fall, otherwise the entire army might crumble!
