493: Chapter 493 The Chase

When his neck was crushed, Ape Leader’s eyes bulged, filled with utter disbelief!

He hadn't expected to be insta-killed just like that!

He was at the Mid-Tenth Order!

Even if he was injured, it shouldn't have been impossible for him to put up even a little resistance, right?

However, the facts were right before him; he was finished!

With his physical body destroyed, Ape Leader’s soul still wanted to escape, but how could Fang Bai possibly let him succeed?

A surge of power directly annihilated him!

“Bastard!”

Marquis Yin roared, his eyes nearly splitting from rage!

Fang Bai hadn't held back at all, and Ape Leader’s soul was completely extinguished!

“Junior! How dare you!”

Marquis Yin immediately struck out, a powerful aura instantly enveloping Fang Bai!

He hadn't expected Fang Bai to dare kill Ape Leader, or even be capable of it. If the leader found out, not just Fang Bai, but even he would have to die!

He had failed in his duty as a protector and would have to bear all the consequences!

Thus, he attacked Fang Bai with absolute fury!

Marquis Yin’s power was significantly stronger than Ape Leader’s; he was a standout even among those in the Mid-Tenth Order.

Fang Bai did not take him lightly. Although his cultivation had improved quite a bit, he still faced this impressive power with his full strength!

Weakening!

An invisible Power of Rules descended upon Marquis Yin, suppressing his cultivation with an irresistible force!

“How is this possible?!”

Marquis Yin’s pupils constricted, a hint of panic rising within him.

Why had his power become so weak?

Before he could even react, a ghostly afterimage appeared before him. In the next second, a sword pierced directly into his forehead!

Marquis Yin’s body froze in place!

Had he been insta-killed as well?

When experts like Zhan Xiao and Night Clan Elder saw this, they were so terrified that they turned and fled!

Damn! To instantly kill a Mid-Tenth Order expert—just how terrifying was this power?

Marquis Yin was the strongest among them. If even he couldn't hold his ground, how could they possibly be a match?

Fang Bai didn't bother with the fleeing Night Clan Elder and the others. Instead, he looked at Marquis Yin before him and grinned. “Old man, it's time to settle the score from last time!”

Terror surfaced in Marquis Yin’s eyes as he hurriedly begged for mercy, “Fang... Fellow Daoist Fang! Spare me! I... I am willing to serve you! I'll be your servant! I can swear a soul oath!”

Fang Bai said indifferently, “You're not worthy!”

Squelch!

With a pull of his wrist, Marquis Yin’s body was split in two!

Powerful energy instantly annihilated his life force!

[Ding! Killed a Tenth Rank alien, obtained a massive amount of Source Power!]

Swish!

Fang Bai’s aura began to surge!

Since the system upgrade, energy had been converted into Source Power upon arriving in this world.

Therefore, killing aliens returned Source Power to Fang Bai!

After killing Marquis Yin, Fang Bai’s improvement was greater than before. Marquis Yin’s strength was actually a bit greater than that of the Broodmother.

Fang Bai’s current realm was now at the Upper-Grade of the Dual-Element Mid-Tenth Order!

“Jie jie jie! This is the way to do it!”

Fang Bai wore a wicked smile, and then his gaze shifted toward the direction where Night Clan Elder and the other aliens were fleeing.

“None of you should even think about escaping!”

On the other side, Night Clan Elder fled with his clansmen. There were still a few experts from the Ni Yuan Tribe, but their faces were ashen.

The Little Leader was dead; they were destined not to survive either.

“We can't stay together; the target is too big. Split up and run!”

Night Clan Elder suddenly barked.

They split into three groups and fled in different directions.

At this point, they couldn't care less about the source vein. If that monster caught up to them, only death would await!

The first to be caught were the experts of the Ni Yuan Tribe. None of them had reached the Tenth Rank, so they were easily cut down!

They didn't even see their enemy’s figure before they died.

Elsewhere, Night Clan Elder’s face suddenly turned pale. He felt a powerful aura drawing closer and closer!

It was Fang Bai!

“Damn it! Why is he hunting us so relentlessly?!” Night Clan Elder’s expression was grim.

He increased his speed, but his subordinates weren't so lucky. Compared to him, their strength was insufficient, and they were much slower.

“Elder... Elder Night Clan Elder! Save us!”

“Don't leave me behind... Ah!”

The wails of his subordinates came from behind him, and Night Clan Elder’s face was already drenched in sweat!

“Old man, where do you think you can run?”

A playful voice rang out.

Night Clan Elder was startled and came to a sudden halt, for Fang Bai was already standing not far in front of him at some unknown point.

So fast!

Night Clan Elder gritted his teeth and said, “Sir, my Night Clan did not take action against you!”

Fang Bai said indifferently, “And?”

Night Clan Elder hurriedly said, “So we have no grievances. There's no need for us to fight to the death!”

The corners of Fang Bai’s mouth curled up. “That was true before, but now there's a grudge.”

“Because... I want to kill you!”

Night Clan Elder’s pupils shrank. In an instant, he threw out a palm strike, carrying powerful Power of Rules toward Fang Bai!

Strike first to gain the upper hand!

And Fang Bai was easily hit by his attack!

Night Clan Elder was overjoyed, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a shocking scene occurred. Fang Bai’s body began to decompose and dissipate like bubbles...

It wasn't his true body!

“Old man, are you just punching the air?”

A mocking voice sounded from behind.

Night Clan Elder hurriedly turned around, his face pale.

Fang Bai was standing there, holding several heads in his hands.

They were all the experts of his Night Clan!

In just that short time, Fang Bai had already cleared the field.

Night Clan Elder suppressed the fear in his heart and said solemnly, “Since you won't show any mercy, then I will fight you to the bitter end!”

With that, his body suddenly transformed into a black shadow. The shadow continued to expand, enveloping the entire space as if night had fallen!

The black mist manifested into a giant beast that trampled through space, blotting out the sun!

His true form!

This was the true form of the Night Clan Elder!

Compared to before, his aura had increased significantly.

However, for Fang Bai, it was all the same.

Taking even less time than it did to kill Marquis Yin, Night Clan Elder was left with only a remnant soul.

Night Clan Elder looked at him in terror. “Who exactly are you?”

To have such strength at such a young age—which great clan could have raised him?”

Fang Bai said indifferently, “I'll ask, and you answer. Why are you all here?”

Night Clan Elder was stunned for a moment, then said solemnly, “We came for the source vein.”

Fang Bai asked in surprise, “How did you know the source vein was here?”

Night Clan Elder said, “Because of the Zhan Xiao. He divined it.”

“Zhan Xiao? What is his relationship with Zhan Qing?” Fang Bai had wondered why that guy looked so much like Zhan Qing.

Night Clan Elder hurriedly said, “He is the son of the Great Elder of the Zhan Clan, and also the second greatest genius of the clan. However, he is bent on seizing the position of Clan Leader, so we recruited him...”

“So his divination skills are quite good.” Fang Bai was thoughtful, then he glanced at Night Clan Elder. “How many source crystals did you find?”

Night Clan Elder hurriedly took out a spatial treasure and drew a strand of purple qi from it.

“We only found one strand of source qi.”

“I'll take that!” Fang Bai chuckled wickedly and snatched the strand of source qi.

It contained much more Source Power than source crystals; it could indeed be refined into many source crystals.

Night Clan Elder said tentatively, “Can you let me go now?”

Fang Bai said in surprise, “When did I ever say that?”

Night Clan Elder’s eyes widened. “You actually...”

Pfft!

A Golden Sword flashed, and Night Clan Elder was instantly erased!
