147: The show is about to begin!
"Roar!"
On a massive lake in the Chaotic Plains, countless waves surged, exploding dozens of meters high and forming a rainbow over the water's surface.
A figure was flying across at a frantic pace, their movements somewhat panicked.
"Holy crap! I really stirred up a hornet's nest of fish!"
Fang Bai cursed under his breath, his speed increasing once more.
A hundred meters behind him, a swarm of strange fish pursued him relentlessly. Leading the pack was a late-stage Sixth-Tier beast!
"Damned human! You will die today!"
This Beast King was currently beyond furious, wishing he could catch that human immediately and tear him into ten thousand pieces!
Fang Bai shouted back in response, "Old fish brother, there's really no need for this. It was just shocking your fish eggs into twists and dropping a little poison in your territory. We're all civilized beasts!"
Hearing this, the Fish King's rage only intensified. With a roar, a hundred-zhang-wide tidal wave slashed directly toward Fang Bai!
The latter didn't fight back, allowing the wave to crash into him.
However, in the next second, his figure appeared a hundred meters away. He grinned and said, "Don't bother, you can't kill me."
The Fish King snorted coldly and said, "This King has achieved his goal."
Fang Bai was stunned for a moment, then looked around to find that he was actually surrounded by a group of beasts!
"Heh! You beasts around here actually have some brains... However, This Young Master is at the Sixth Tier!"
A brilliant light flashed in Fang Bai's eyes as terrifying lightning condensed. Immediately after, with him as the center, the waters within a several-hundred-meter radius were instantly covered in a layer of purple lightning!
Every beast closest to Fang Bai was charred black in an instant!
[Ding! Killed Fourth-Tier...]
With one blow, Fang Bai's strength improved slightly once again!
After entering the Sixth Tier, he found that his rate of improvement had slowed down significantly. It wasn't like the early stages where killing beasts of the same level would grant a large amount of feedback.
Fang Bai had already killed three Sixth-Tier Beast Kings over the past two days, yet his cultivation remained stuck at the peak of the early Sixth Tier for both paths!
However, he wasn't far from the next realm. If he killed one more Sixth-Tier beast, he would definitely break through!
The single strike threw the beasts into total disarray, and Fang Bai took the opportunity to escape!
Seeing this, the Fish King was incensed. Its speed surged instantly, and the distance between it and Fang Bai continued to shrink!
Just as Fang Bai was about to reach the shore, the Fish King caught up!
Boom!
A massive blast of energy struck, and Fang Bai was sent flying!
"So strong!"
Fang Bai looked at the Fish King with "shock," his face full of "solemnity."
"Human, since you dared to provoke this King, you will die a miserable death!"
The Fish King leapt straight out of the water, its body enveloped in a Water Curtain as it hovered in mid-air. To kill Fang Bai, it didn't hesitate to distance itself from the waters that were to its advantage!
Fang Bai chuckled, "It's not certain who's going to die yet!"
The Fish King said coldly, "Hmph! Just a mere early Sixth-Tier ant, yet you talk big!"
Fang Bai suddenly said, "Um, you don't mind a gang fight, do you?"
The Fish King was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Just as the words left his mouth, a sudden change occurred!
A sharp, cold glint struck like a bolt of lightning!
The Fish King's expression changed drastically. It whipped its tail violently, forcibly knocking the scimitar away!
Almost at the same time, Fang Bai also made his move!
He lunged forward, leaping above the Fish King in a close-combat stance, and slammed down a lightning-infused fist!
In this instant, the power Fang Bai radiated far exceeded what he had shown before!
Only then did the Fish King realize it had fallen for this human's trap. The opponent's energy made it feel a strong sense of danger!
However, on land, its movements were much slower, and it took Fang Bai's blow head-on!
Boom!
The Fish King crashed directly into the ground, smashing a huge crater into it!
Fang Bai clapped his hands and then looked at Chen Xi, who had launched the sneak attack, complaining, "That won't do, beauty. I still had to deliver the finishing blow."
Chen Xi's expression was sour. "It's freaking late-stage Sixth-Tier, and I'm only mid-stage Sixth-Tier. How do you expect me to deal a fatal blow to it?"
Fang Bai tilted his chin up slightly, looking like a lonely master as he said, "Isn't killing enemies above your level as easy as breathing?"
Chen Xi: ...Your mom!
The Fish King suffered significant injuries from Fang Bai's strike, but it was a high-tier beast after all, so it hadn't lost its ability to resist. Instead, it was infuriated by Fang Bai's sneak attack!
But Fang Bai wouldn't give it a chance to act. He roared, "Kill it! Hit it while it's down!"
As he spoke, he dove straight down!
Chen Xi also acted decisively. Under their combined efforts, the Fish King truly had no power to resist.
When the beasts in the lake saw their king being pummeled, they didn't dare to make a move at all.
No joke, their king was being beaten senseless; what use would it be for them to go up?
Soon, Fang Bai delivered the final finishing blow!
[Ding! Host meets the advancement conditions! Congratulations to the Host for breaking through to the mid-stage Sixth Tier!]
[Obtained Super Special Bomb x10!]
[Note: The power of this bomb is comparable to the full-strength strike of a Seventh-Tier Expert, with a blast radius of one kilometer. Please use with caution, Host!]
After the breakthrough, Fang Bai's aura was like a dam bursting, and powerful energy instantly spread out!
"Hmm?!"
Chen Xi noticed this, and her eyes suddenly widened!
What the heck? He broke through?
You could imagine: not long ago, she was still hunting him down with ease, but in just a few days, he was already at the same level as her!
It was like a freaking dream!
Chen Xi stared at Fang Bai's figure, her gaze incredibly solemn.
There was probably no hope of killing him anymore!
After the breakthrough, Fang Bai suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Xi.
Her eyelids twitched, but her expression remained calm as she said, "What? Thinking of burning the bridge after crossing it?"
Fang Bai stared at her for a moment, then grinned and said "kindly," "How could that be? We're allies!"
Chen Xi looked at him without saying a word.
Fang Bai looked away. He had indeed thought about killing her just now. His current strength could be said to crush his opponent, but he wasn't in a hurry to do so.
These cultists' methods were incredibly sinister; who knew if she had some powerful trump card?
Besides, she still had some value. He would act as the situation developed.
Fang Bai's gaze shifted to the lake's surface. After the Fish King perished, those beasts had scattered in all directions, acting extremely decisively.
The corners of Fang Bai's mouth curled up slightly as he muttered, "Since you've chased me for so long, I have to give you a return gift of some sort!"
He grabbed the Fish King's corpse and threw it out!
The Fish King's corpse fell into the lake, immediately attracting the attention of many beasts.
Their gazes were both wary and greedy as they looked at the Fish King's corpse. To them, the corpse of a Beast King was a massive supplement!
Under such great temptation, some beasts finally couldn't help themselves. They swarmed over, scrambling to tear at the Fish King's corpse!
However, they were also very cautious; after tearing off a piece of flesh, they turned and fled!
Fang Bai watched the group of Fish Demons fleeing into the distance, a wicked smile appearing on his lips. He pulled out five nuclear warheads.
Chen Xi: ???
"The show... begins!"
Swish!
The five nuclear warheads vanished instantly, while five pieces of flesh appeared out of thin air in front of him!
Steal Star and Exchange Moon!
Activating this skill remotely instantly consumed half of Fang Bai's Alien Energy!
But in the next second, the entire lake began to boil!
