"What are you going to use to fight me?"
Fang Chen's voice spread throughout the entire mansion.
The surrounding cultivators were completely shocked. Fang Chen's strength had actually reached such a level.
Not only had he killed the Red Devil Snake King, but he had also caused the Snake Monarch to suffer a backlash. Now, he was on the verge of death.
The Snake Monarch, who was lying on the ground, held the Snake Monarch's Flute. He did his best to suppress his injuries, wanting to blow the Snake Monarch's Flute at all costs.
However, Fang Chen didn't give him the chance. The Hidden Star Sword in Fang Chen's hand suddenly swung, and a sword-light flashed.
The Snake Monarch let out a miserable cry. His arm had been instantly cut off by Fang Chen. Blood continuously spurted out, and the Snake Monarch's Flute fell to the ground.
"Fang Chen!"
The Snake Monarch's heart was filled with fear. He gravely looked at Fang Chen. "You can't kill me."
Even now, the Snake Monarch didn't want to die. He wanted Fang Chen to let him off.
"Give me a reason."
Fang Chen walked over to the Snake Monarch and picked up the Snake Monarch's Flute. He fiddled with it as he smiled.
The Snake Monarch's voice was hoarse. "I'm from the Eastern Mountain's Hundred Snake Valley. If you kill me, my father will definitely kill you."
The Snake Monarch was threatening Fang Chen. A trace of ridicule appeared on the latter's face. He then said, "Sorry, but your reason won't convince me."
After saying that, Fang Chen's wrist shook and the Hidden Star Sword ruthlessly stabbed into the Snake Monarch's head.
The Snake Monarch's eyes were wide open. He was unwilling to accept this. He had originally wanted to kill Fang Chen, but in the end, he had been killed instead.
Bang!
The Snake Monarch's body fell to the ground, completely devoid of life. Fang Chen waved his hand and took the Snake Monarch's spatial ring.
Fang Chen glanced at the Red Devil Snake King, who had long since died. He then glanced at the puppet that had fallen to the ground and turned into a piece of trash. He shook his head slightly.
If it weren't for this puppet, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the Red Devil Snake King.
This puppet could withstand the full blow of an elite below the Spirit Vortex Realm. It could easily withstand a mere Red Devil Snake King.
However, it was a one-time use item. Once it was used, it could not be used again.
Snake Monarch had condensed four strands of True Qi, so his true strength was equivalent to an expert with five strands of True Qi. Such a powerful young expert had been killed by Fang Chen.
The commotion caused by Fang Chen had thoroughly shocked everyone in the periphery.
Zhou Yan and the others were flabbergasted. The Little Medicine King was also incredibly shocked. Even Xuanyuan Feng had a whole new level of respect for Fang Chen.
As for the disciples of the Hundred Snake Valley, when they saw that the Snake Monarch had been killed by Fang Chen, their hearts were filled with fear and they had already fled.
These disciples were all ordinary flutes, so Fang Chen ignored them.
"Brother Fang, you've really hidden yourself well."
Zhou Yan was the first to walk towards Fang Chen with a grin.
"Yeah, you were even able to kill the Snake Monarch who had condensed four strands of True Qi. Your strength is too strong." Zhou Qingqing's beautiful eyes flickered as she smiled.
Hearing this, Fang Chen smiled slightly.
The Little Medicine King, Qin Yao, Xuanyuan Feng, and his sister all went forward to talk to Fang Chen.
At this moment, Fang Chen had received the approval of all the younger generation. In their hearts, Fang Chen's strength was already comparable to Xuanyuan Feng's.
After chatting with everyone, Fang Chen left with Qin Yao.
The outer mansion had almost been completely explored by everyone. The Qi Cores had also been collected. The younger generation of disciples were preparing to go into seclusion to cultivate. Once their cultivation broke through, they would enter the inner circle.
Fang Chen's cultivation had reached a bottleneck and was temporarily unable to break through. As for Qin Yao, she felt that she was about to break through.
Fang Chen found a secluded place for Qin Yao to cultivate while he guarded her.
Half a month later, the younger generation of cultivators all entered the inner area of the mansion, leaving the outer area empty.
At this time, Qin Yao's seclusion ended.
After that, Fang Chen and Qin Yao also entered the inner area of the mansion.
As soon as he entered the inner area of the mansion, Fang Chen discovered that there was a space of its own.
The spiritual qi in the inner circle was much denser than the outer circle. Within the inner circle, Fang Chen saw countless buildings. Under each building, there were cultivators searching.
"Let's go," said Fang Chen.
Just like this, Fang Chen and Qin Yao searched for opportunities in the inner circle.
After walking for about six hours, Qin Yao's face suddenly changed slightly, and she immediately stopped.
"How is that possible?" asked Fang Chen.
"I feel like there's a voice calling me," said Qin Yao gravely.
"Oh, where is it?" Fang Chen's eyes brightened.
Qin Yao pointed at a building in front of them. "I feel like that voice is coming from here."
"Let's go take a look," said Fang Chen.
The two of them quickly arrived in front of the building. At this time, Qin Yao felt the spiritual qi within her body constantly revolve. It was as if there was an attractive force pulling her into the building.
"Qin Yao, perhaps this is your opportunity." Fang Chen didn't stop her and allowed her to enter the building.
When Qin Yao completely disappeared from the building, a dense multicolored light appeared around the building. This multicolored light contained a scorching aura.
"It seems Qin Yao has found her opportunity," said Fang Chen inwardly.
Just as Fang Chen was about to turn and leave, a furious roar rang out. Two old men appeared in front of Fang Chen.
"Thief, you're the one who killed our Hundred Snake Valley's junior valley master, the Snake Lord!" roared one of the brown-haired old men. His face was filled with malevolence.
"Brat, you dare kill our junior valley master?! You're courting death!" The other old man was filled with killing intent.
The two of them were Elders of the Hundred Snake Valley. Recently, a disciple of the Hundred Snake Valley had entered their mansion and informed them of the Snake Lord's death. They had immediately been infuriated and vowed to get revenge for their junior valley master.
The two of them had been searching for opportunities while also searching for Fang Chen.
Today, they had just happened to arrive here and discovered Fang Chen. A bloody storm was about to begin.
"Kill the young one, and the old one came out to shout," said Fang Chen coldly.
"Thief, you even dared to kill our Hundred Snake Valley's junior valley master?! There's no place for you in this world!" As soon as he said that, the brown-haired old man's figure flashed and he fiercely punched out.
At the same time, many illusory snake images appeared around him. Those illusory snakes instantly attacked Fang Chen.
At the same time, five strands of true qi appeared on the brown-haired old man's body.
"Five strands of true qi?"
Fang Chen looked at the five strands of true qi on the brown-haired old man's body and sneered disdainfully.
In the next moment, Fang Chen used the sixth level of the Phantom God Sword Art. An illusory aura instantly filled the air as he stabbed out with the Hidden Star Sword.
When the brown-haired old man approached Fang Chen, he suddenly sensed something strange. By the time he reacted, a longsword had already stabbed into his body. He had no way to dodge.
"Damnit!"
The brown-haired old man roared and immediately punched out.
Bang!
His fist collided with Fang Chen's fist and directly exploded.
The brown-haired old man's body flew back. He did his best to stabilize himself. His eyes were filled with shock.
"This brat's strength is strange," said the brown-haired old man in a low voice.
In Fang Chen's opinion, although the brown-haired old man had condensed five strands of true qi, his threat was not as high as the Snake Monarch's.
Therefore, in the face of the brown-haired old man's attack, Fang Chen gave a strong counterattack. Moreover, a trace of killing intent appeared in Fang Chen's heart.
"Attack together and kill him!" The brown-haired old man roared.
Suddenly, two figures joined forces to attack Fang Chen.
At this moment, Fang Chen did not hesitate to set up an Illusion Array. Then, he used the Illusory Sword Principle and the sixth level of the Phantom God Sword Art.
The Hidden Star Sword was constantly brandished. On the other hand, the two elders were unable to find Fang Chen after entering the Illusion Array.
"Damnit!"
The brown-haired old man roared. He used all his strength to attack Fang Chen.
Puchi
Suddenly, a sword-light appeared in a dark place and ruthlessly pierced the brown-haired old man's body. This time, Fang Chen did not give the brown-haired old man a chance. With a 'puchi' sound, the Hidden Star Sword was pulled out of the brown-haired old man's body.
The brown-haired old man's heart was shattered by the Hidden Star Sword. He unwillingly fell to the ground.
"Next, it's your turn." Fang Chen looked at the other elder and said sinisterly.
After a minute, Fang Chen removed the Illusion Array and saw two corpses lying quietly on the ground.
Two martial artists who had condensed five strands of true qi had died at the hands of Fang Chen. If Xuanyuan Feng saw this, he would be shocked.
Even if he personally took action, he would not be able to do it.
After Fang Chen killed the two elders of the Hundred Snake Valley, he quickly left this place. He was afraid that he would attract the attention of other elders of the Hundred Snake Valley.
This time, there were still many elders of the Hundred Snake Valley who had entered the mansion. Some of them had tyrannical strength. At least, Fang Chen was still not their opponent.
"If I can cultivate the Imperial Snake Flute, I will not be afraid of the elders of the Hundred Snake Valley." Fang Chen secretly said in his heart.
The Imperial Snake Flute was the unique skill of the Hundred Snake Valley. Even if an elder learned the Imperial Snake Flute, they would not be able to control a real snake-type monster beast.
However, a martial artist who had the Imperial Snake Flute could control a real snake-type monster beast as he wished. If his strength was tyrannical, he could unlock the seal within the Imperial Snake Flute and release an even more terrifying monster beast.
For example, the Red Devil Snake King. The Snake Monarch used all his strength to unlock the seal and release the Red Devil Snake King. If it were not for the puppet that he had previously obtained, Fang Chen would have died.
When he had obtained the Snake Monarch's interspatial ring, Fang Chen had checked it. In the interspatial ring, there was a complete Imperial Snake Flute.
However, at that time, Fang Chen did not have the time to read it. Now, it seemed that he needed to make time to cultivate it.
Fang Chen found a relatively secluded place and began to cultivate the Imperial Snake Flute.
