494: Chapter 494 Subduing Zhan Xiao

After killing Night Clan Elder, Fang Bai examined the wisp of source qi in his hand.

By a rough estimate, absorbing it would be equivalent to the Source Power feedback from slaying a Ninth-Rank Expert.

He stored it inside the moon god ring.

Fang Bai turned his head toward another direction, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

At the same time, Zhan Xiao, who was frantically accelerating his escape, suddenly had a change of expression; the red light at the center of his brow had turned black!

Extreme ill-fortune had turned into absolute calamity!

*Swish!*

At that moment, the space in front of him suddenly split open, and a thick pillar of lightning violently blasted toward him!

Zhan Xiao's expression changed drastically, and without a second thought, he threw a punch!

*Boom!*

Amidst a thunderous explosion, Zhan Xiao was sent flying back hundreds of feet!

Just as he came to a stop, before he could even catch his breath, a figure closed in on him!

A point of sword light aimed directly at the center of his brow!

"Vast Phenomena of Heaven and Earth!"

Zhan Xiao roared, and a massive golden body appeared behind him. The golden body pointed a finger, causing the world to shift!

Forcibly reversing the universe!

In an instant, the sword light struck the fingertip of the golden body!

*Crack!*

A crisp sound rang out. In the next second, cracks appeared on the golden body's fingertip and spread rapidly. The entire golden body could not withstand the force and shattered with a bang!

Zhan Xiao's pupils constricted.

He had no power to resist at all!

He was at the early Tenth Rank!

Fang Bai walked over slowly with his sword in hand, looking at him with a smile. "You've got some skill. No wonder you dare to covet the position of the Zhan Clan's Patriarch."

Zhan Xiao's face turned pale. "Wh-what did you say?!"

Why did the other party know his goal?

Could it be... Night Clan Elder and the others...?

Fang Bai said indifferently, "Now, you're the only one left."

Zhan Xiao's heart sank to rock bottom!

"I have no grievances or enmity with you. Why won't you let me go?" He asked the same question as Night Clan Elder.

Fang Bai said eerily, "From the moment you all arrived here, we were already enemies."

Zhan Xiao froze for a moment, then something suddenly occurred to him. His pupils shrank as he looked at Fang Bai with a hint of horror. "You... you obtained the source vein?!"

Fang Bai raised an eyebrow, surprised. "Quite clever."

Zhan Xiao stared fixedly at Fang Bai. "So a second source vein really does exist!"

The corner of Fang Bai's mouth curled up. "Any advice?"

Zhan Xiao smiled bitterly. "I wouldn't dare. Since the source vein is on you, you must be planning to silence me, right?"

Fang Bai looked at Zhan Xiao and asked, "Do you want to live?"

Zhan Xiao was stunned, then looked at him suspiciously. "You... aren't going to kill me?"

Fang Bai said, "That depends on your sincerity."

Zhan Xiao fell silent for a moment. Then, he opened his palm, and a piece of tortoise shell appeared in his hand. With a thought, the tortoise shell flew toward Fang Bai.

Fang Bai caught it, glanced at it, and asked in confusion, "What are you giving me a turtle shell for?"

Zhan Xiao's mouth twitched as he explained, "This item is called the Black Tortoise Armor. It is a forbidden artifact. It has many functions; you will know once you bind it."

Fang Bai raised an eyebrow. "Hasn't it already recognized you as its master?"

Zhan Xiao said calmly, "I have already dissolved my contract with it. It is now masterless."

Hearing this, Fang Bai glanced at the tortoise shell. After a moment of deliberation, he put it away.

Seeing this, Zhan Xiao's expression darkened slightly.

He thought Fang Bai would greedily bind it immediately...

Fang Bai saw his expression and knew there was something fishy. He sneered, "It seems you're being dishonest!"

With that, Fang Bai suddenly charged toward Zhan Xiao!

The latter's face changed. Disregarding everything else, he hurriedly moved to defend.

But his strength was far inferior to Fang Bai's, and without the forbidden artifact, he was immediately given a brutal beating.

After being beaten for a full fifteen minutes, Zhan Xiao was on the verge of death.

Fang Bai looked at him and said indifferently, "Playing tricks in front of me has very serious consequences."

Zhan Xiao: "..."

At this moment, he felt as if every bone in his body had been shattered into countless pieces.

Zhan Xiao said in a trembling voice, "You... didn't you say you wouldn't kill me?"

Fang Bai raised an eyebrow. "Well, you aren't dead, are you?"

Zhan Xiao remained silent.

Fang Bai then said, "That's not enough. If you want to live, hand over a portion of your soul."

Zhan Xiao's face changed. "You..."

"Be a servant or die. Take your pick." Fang Bai looked at him coldly, as if he would strike at any moment.

Helpless, Zhan Xiao could only hand over a portion of his soul.

As long as he harbored any ill intentions, a single thought from Fang Bai could annihilate his soul.

Fang Bai said with satisfaction, "Alright, get up."

Zhan Xiao: ...

"I... can't move for now."

He had been beaten to a pulp and couldn't stand up at all.

Fang Bai's mouth twitched, and then, with a pained expression, he pulled out a spirit fruit.

This was something Yi Mu had given him later.

After consuming the spirit fruit, Zhan Xiao's injuries gradually recovered.

Once he barely had the strength to move, he stood up.

Fang Bai said, "I heard you can divine good and bad fortune?"

Zhan Xiao said slowly, "I only know a bit of the basics, barely enough to glimpse a corner of the future."

"Who is more powerful, you or Zhan Qing?"

Zhan Xiao replied, "Naturally him. His ability is second only to the Ancestor."

Hearing this, Fang Bai was somewhat surprised. "Why didn't your Ancestor show up this time?"

Of the Seven Great Powers, the leaders of the other six had all appeared, except for the Zhan Clan.

This Zhan Clan gives off a very mysterious feeling.

Zhan Xiao said in a low voice, "I don't know."

Fang Bai's eyes narrowed. "You don't know?"

Zhan Xiao nodded. "Not just me, even Zhan Qing doesn't know. The Ancestor went into seclusion in the forbidden grounds a long time ago, but for all these years, no news has ever come out."

Speaking of which, he hesitated and said, "There are also speculations from the outside world that the Ancestor has already passed away."

Not to mention the outside world, even within the Zhan Clan, there are such thoughts. That's why they split into two factions: one led by Zhan Qing and the other by the Grand Elder, who is my father.

Fang Bai said with a faint smile, "So that's why you covet the position of the Zhan Clan's Patriarch?"

Zhan Xiao gave an embarrassed smile, which was a silent admission.

Fang Bai suddenly said, "Can you calculate my karma?"

Zhan Xiao was stunned and instinctively asked, "What do you want to calculate?"

Fang Bai said seriously, "My origins!"

Fang Bai had always thought he was an ordinary person from Earth, but gradually, he stopped thinking so.

Transmigration, the system...

With such coincidental things, why was it him of all people?

Zhan Xiao paused, then said, "If I calculate it for you, will you let me go?"

"How bold!"

Fang Bai's eyes widened in anger, and he slapped him. "You're fucking bargaining with me? I'm your master now. It's your honor to perform a divination for your master!"

Zhan Xiao: "..."

He felt anger in his heart but didn't dare to let it out. The person in front of him was too strong; even if his father came in person, he might not necessarily win.

"Fine, I'll calculate it for you."

Fang Bai said with satisfaction, "That's more like it."

He originally wanted to find Zhan Qing, but that kid was uncooperative. If it weren't for Zhan Xiao, he had planned to visit the Zhan Clan after this Grand Competition to find that Divine Calculator Ancestor.

There were some things he had to clear up!
