Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 572 Schemes (Part 4)

Whoosh!

Just then, several old men in green robes pounced from mid-air, silently attacking Fang Jiulian from behind, attempting a sneak attack.

puff!

Fang Jiulian remained motionless, simply watching quietly. One after another, the figures rushing towards him were pierced through the chest by golden rings that appeared out of nowhere, spurting out large amounts of blood.

“A fearless struggle…” Fang Jiulian reached out, and several rings returned to his arm.

He slowly stepped forward, walking towards Qiu Xiaoxiao.

"Alliance Leader, let's go!"

Dozens more rushed in, followed by various demonic beasts, including white tigers, eagles, wolves, and black birds, all surging towards Fang Jiulian.

With expressions of heroic sacrifice on their faces, they charged forward to cover for their leader, Qiu Xiaoxiao.

But to no avail.

BOOM! BOOM BOOM!! BOOM BOOM!!

Clumps of blood blossomed like fireworks set off on New Year's Eve, bursting forth in a wild display.

One after another, the figures that attacked exploded in mid-air and were sent flying backward, their bodies bearing huge penetrating wounds.

Pfft!

Numerous corpses were thrown around, and the splattered blood even dimmed the flames that had been burning for a moment.

Fang Jiulian walked towards Qiu Xiaoxiao step by step. In his view, as long as this so-called leader was dealt with, the Green Robe Alliance would be like the other forces he had dealt with before, leaderless and slowly disappearing.

This is the general trend. Change is an inevitable trend.

No one can stop it.

The Green-Clad Alliance won't work, Jingtian Manor won't work, and Zhao Ziyang won't work either.

Here, the Ninth Company will finally be able to realize their dreams.

Chi!

A long, transparent, dark green sword, as thin as a cicada's wing, with dark green patterns swirling around its blade like a serpent, sliced ​​through the darkness and gently approached Fang Jiulian's back.

"Ok?"

By the time Fang Jiulian realized it, it was already too late.

puff!

The moment the sword tip pierced his flesh, Fang Jiu roared and gripped the hilt behind his back. All the golden rings instantly coalesced into one, shrinking and tightly wrapping around the sword.

"Boundless Universe - Explosion!"

A clear, cold female voice rang out from the darkness.

Under Fang Jiulian's incredulous gaze, the green longsword suddenly shone brightly, its luminous green light enveloping the entire Green-Clad Alliance headquarters.

Bang! ! ! ! !

A huge explosion rang out, the ground at the edge of the green light caved in, and countless trees and dust were stirred up.

"go!"

Xia Yingying, pale-faced, scooped up Qiu Xiaoxiao who had fallen to the ground and fled quickly.

"Second sister, why not..." Qiu Xiaoxiao said resentfully.

“We are no match for him. I can sense that he’s not dead.” Xia Yingying smiled helplessly. “Let’s go find my older sister first and then we can discuss this further.” Even if she were to self-destruct her spiritual treasure, which she had cultivated for many years, it would only buy her a temporary chance to escape.

"Shh!" she pursed her lips and hissed.

Just as she was falling from the tree trunk with Qiu Xiaoxiao in her arms, a huge white wolf leaped into the air and landed on top of them.

Under the cool moonlight, the white wolf's fur shone like the finest silk, its body perfectly streamlined with beautiful muscles, resembling a meticulously sculpted work of art.

Waaah...

The white wolf let out a long howl and sped off into the distance.

"Big brother, are you alright?!"

Inside the Green-Clad Alliance headquarters, Fang Huandao led his troops and hurriedly came to Fang Jiulian's side.

"It's nothing... I didn't expect there would be a second Grandmaster here..."

Fang Jiulian's long hair was wildly disheveled, and his upper body was completely naked, revealing his strong, bronze-like upper body.

He was still holding a sword hilt in his hand, and the wound on his back was healing rapidly. There was only a blackened patch, and nothing else was abnormal.

"Then now..." Fang Huan asked cautiously.

"Leave no one alive!" Fang Jiulian said coldly.

He was just a bit overconfident, and as a result, he inexplicably messed up and failed to retain the leader of the Green Robe Alliance.

This made him quite unhappy, and he also felt a little embarrassed.

Bang!

He squeezed his fingers so hard that he crushed the hilt of the sword in his hand and threw it far away.

The Green-Clad Alliance members who had just escaped a long way suddenly exploded, torn to pieces as if they had been ripped apart by five horses. "Hmph! Let's go, to Jingtian Manor!"

Fang Jiulian's eyes were gloomy. He left a sentence and turned to leave.

In any case, the Green Cloaked Alliance is finished.

That can prevent him from achieving great things.

In the Huayang City area, only Jingtian Village remains.

……………

……………

"I already said, compared to firearms, your so-called poisoning is far too slow..."

On a tree branch in the distance, Han Yi spoke softly to the person beside him.

"Who says it's useless? If Fang Jiulian had that kind of poison that targets Grandmasters, the Green Robe Alliance leader wouldn't be able to escape." **retorted.

Both of them were wearing masks and wide black robes that concealed their figures, gazing into the distance.

Han Yi originally sought out ** to discuss the next steps of the plan.

Military reforms, new policies implemented, the might of cannons…

As he watched one event after another unfold, he felt that something big was about to happen, so he decided to ask for **'s opinion.

However, as the two talked, they began to disagree.

One believed that the government army was unstoppable and that preparations must be made in advance.

The other view is that even if the Divine Cannon is incredibly powerful, it's only good for dealing with weaklings and useless against experts like them.

The disagreements grew bigger and bigger as the arguments escalated.

Just then, they received news that the government troops were going to wipe out the Green Robe Alliance, so the two of them came to watch.

However, looking at the thick smoke rising in the distance, the two still couldn't agree on anything.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. There's no point in arguing." Han Yi shook his head.

“Perhaps you are right,” he said calmly, “but in any case, I must develop a poison that can outperform firearms.”

"..."

Han Yi was speechless: "...I wish you all the best."

With the advent of firearms, the status of martial artists was clearly threatened, and he could understand the concerns of the martial artist.

It's simply to prove that martial arts skills are no less effective than firearms.

Han Yi knew the truth in his heart.

The cannon was just the simplest prototype of firearms.

If a master craftsman were to transform it into a portable, easy-to-make firearm…

Combined with the unique forces and true energy of this world...

Han Yi didn't even dare to imagine it. This was a revolutionary weapon.

The impact on top-tier experts remains to be seen. However, for most ordinary sects, this means they will have no choice but to submit to the imperial court's administration.

“However, it seems we have to change our plans again.” He sighed. “Now that Fang Jiulian has uprooted the Green Robe Alliance, the situation in Huayang City is likely to change again.”

When the topic came up, ** stopped dwelling on the relative strengths of firearms and poison, and sighed, "Yes, after receiving the information, I initially thought it was just a test, but I didn't expect it to succeed on the first try..."

"No one expected that the government troops would act so swiftly and decisively, making such big news one after another even after Fang He's death." Han Yi nodded.

“However, with the Green Robe Alliance destroyed, you have to be careful. If the government troops find out about your affair…” he whispered a reminder.

They had connections with the Holy Gate, also known as the Demonic Gate, Mingyu Gate. The last time Mingyu Gate came knocking on their door, they suspected the Green-Clad Alliance had leaked the information.

Now that the Green-Clad Alliance has been destroyed, if this gets out, the entire Hu family will likely suffer.

“Understood, but our previous plan will probably have to be postponed for a while.” He said in a deep voice, “I may have to leave for a while to deal with this matter first.”

“Okay, this matter is important. My matter doesn’t need to be rushed.” Han Yi understood.

During our previous casual conversation, ** seemed quite interested in the martial arts school he ran, wanting to invest in it and cultivate a few trusted confidants along the way.

But now it seems that this guy's troubles are far greater than his own.

"Let's leave first. If we're seen here, it could easily cause misunderstandings."

**They took the lead and flew away.**

Han Yi didn't linger any longer and left in the opposite direction. Meanwhile, at the Green-Clad Alliance headquarters, after the government troops had looted everything, flames began to spread again.

The small fire quickly grew into a large fire, burning fiercely.

Thick smoke and flames shot into the sky, and the purplish-red flames even ignited some of the surrounding trees, quickly turning the area into a sea of ​​fire.

Thick smoke billowed into the air, polluting the sky and creating a large black cloud.

Everything was purified in the flames…

……………

……………

"It should be right here."

Han Yi, holding a pale yellow sheet of paper, stopped in front of a secluded cave.

The cave is located on a cliff, and is further encased by a thick layer of green vines, making it extremely difficult to find. Even seasoned hunters wouldn't deliberately seek out such a hidden location.

Han Yi was able to find it because of the map he had.

Following the vines, he quickly entered the cave.

The cave was dark and dry, filled with waterproof dry grass and leaves, and you could faintly smell insect and snake repellent powder.

There was a shelf around the room, with a variety of items scattered on it.

A large quantity of dried monster meat, rare healing medicines, and a box containing neatly arranged gold notes worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels.

Han Yi acted quickly, took out a large package, and packed everything up.

Then he jumped on his toes, and the entire package was instantly lifted into the air.

Han Yi shot upwards, grabbing the package mid-air, and with all his might, stomped heavily on the side of the cliff. Whoosh!

He was back on the cliff, only now he had a large pack on his back.

"Mission accomplished..."

Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief, took out the pale yellow map, and marked one spot with his fingernail.

This map was left by Fang He before his death; it depicts the terrain and topography around Huayang City.

Three locations are highlighted with red circles.

Han Yi's current location is one of them.

After parting ways with ** tonight, he suddenly thought of this matter and chose a nearby place to verify it.

To his surprise, the map Fang He provided seemed to be perfectly correct.

"According to Fang He, he has several more high-quality meat fields, which should be located in two other places. He's waiting for the right time to move them to the vicinity of my Qiyun Mountain..."

Han Yi made his plans and headed towards Jingtian Manor.

It was getting late, and since it was quite far from Qiyun Mountain, he decided to go back to the inner courtyard first and make do for the night.

Before long, carrying his package, he returned to Jiuquyuan safely and easily. After tidying up and washing up, he went to bed fully clothed.

However, he hadn't rested for long when he heard a commotion outside.

Before Han Yi could react, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.
