On the edge of Ghost Cry Peak.
The terrifying Azure Dragon shape collided with an azure ball of light the size of a human head.
The collision of the two energies seemed to pause for a moment.
The faint azure ball of light, like an incomparably sharp sword, directly pierced through the Azure Dragon shape, but it was too weak and quickly disappeared.
The pierced Azure Dragon shape's emitted azure halo dimmed slightly, but it still wrapped around the red giant without losing momentum.
The sinister Bone Strength, like countless sharp steel knives, continuously landed on the red giant, like bone-attached maggots, completely burrowing into his body.
Multiple parts of the red giant's scales were damaged, but a closer look revealed that only the scales were damaged; the underlying muscles were not harmed at all.
Moreover, in just a few breaths, the damaged scales had recovered as before.
"It hurts a bit, but is this all there is..."
Lin Sheng's face showed a look of enjoyment, as if the pain just now was more like a vigorous massage to him.
However, he soon realized something was wrong. Although the Fang Huasheng opposite him was still standing, his aura was extremely weak.
Lin Sheng frowned slightly, and in the next instant, his figure was already close to Fang Huasheng.
He reached out with a large hand and squeezed Fang Huasheng into a flattened circle.
The one standing here was no longer Fang Huasheng; it was clearly just an empty shell.
His gaze looked towards the direction of Ghost Cry Peak.
In his perception, a cold and faint aura was rapidly moving away.
Seeing this scene, the violent aura in Lin Sheng's heart could no longer be suppressed, and a strong ferocious aura emanated.
"Playing with me..."
He didn't expect this seemingly impressive Fang Family Genius to choose to turn around and run away?
"Azure Extreme Pulse Transformation!"
As a low, hoarse roar sounded, the next moment a red phantom had disappeared from its original spot.
"Damn it, how can there be such a monster? He has clearly just entered the Blood Transportation Realm, yet he has such power and can even withstand my Bone Strength..."
Fang Huasheng's figure was as boneless as possible, clinging to the ground and moving forward rapidly at a strange and fast speed.
At this moment, he had realized that there was a big problem with the person just now, and he could not be viewed with common sense.
Such a person would definitely not be foolish; daring to come alone clearly meant he had great confidence in being able to defeat him.
Although he didn't believe he would lose to the opponent when going all out, he understood a principle even better: why take unnecessary risks?
This is the Fang Family's territory on Ghost Cry Peak, and reinforcements would arrive soon. By then, no matter what methods the opponent had, he would only face a dead end. Why take the risk of a life-or-death duel with him?
His Fang Huasheng's life was not comparable to someone in the early Blood Transportation Realm.
"Even if that idiot can block my Azure Dragon Triple Kill, it will definitely take a considerable amount of time. By the time he discovers my fake body, it will be too late..."
He sneered in his heart, thinking about how furious the opponent would be when he discovered his fake body.
However, his smile soon froze, because at this moment, he only felt a powerful aura behind him rapidly approaching him at an unbelievable speed.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw a red figure rushing towards him.
The figure's indifferent eyes were fixed on him, causing a chilling sensation to rise in his heart.
What terrified him even more was that in the time it took him to turn his head, the distance of two to three thousand meters had already been closed by more than half.
"How can he be so fast..."
Greatly alarmed, he frantically sped up, rushing towards Ghost Cry Peak, no longer daring to stop, and at the same time, he crushed a snake-shaped jade pendant hanging from his waist.
Although Ghost Cry Peak is quite large and this is an outer area where few people come, with his speed, he would soon reach the foot of the mountain. The crushed snake-shaped jade pendant was a treasure that only direct descendants of the Fang Family could wear, capable of alerting Fang Family higher-ups within a certain range and determining the location.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before the Fang Family Bones Transformation experts stationed here would arrive, and by then, everything would be settled.
No matter what methods you have, you cannot escape a dead end.
And at this moment, in his perception, the figure behind him was constantly approaching at an extremely fast speed.
His expression changed, and without thinking, he sent out two Bone Strength blasts backward, wanting to slow him down.
However, it was useless, and the distance between them was still rapidly closing.
"Damn it, how can he be so fast!?"
Fang Huasheng couldn't help but curse, and quickly made a decision.
He immediately took out a pill from his 懷裡 and threw it into his mouth.
He then quickly tapped several points on his body.
Immediately, layers of blood-red appeared on his body as if it were congested.
And his speed also increased by 30%.
This was a second-level secret technique activated on top of his original secret technique.
Because their Fang Family's Azure Gold Python Bloodline is special, combined with the assistance of special secret medicine, they can have another burst.
However, using the second-level secret technique burst also causes a considerable burden on the body and requires a period of rest to recover.
The reason he was so decisive was that as the person behind him got closer, a strong sense of unease rose in his heart for no reason.
He had always valued his perception greatly, which was why he was so resolute.
As the second-level secret technique burst, the effect was indeed obvious. Although the distance that was constantly closing was still shortening, it was significantly slower than before.
At this rate, it would take at least several breaths for the opponent to catch up to him, and that would be enough for him to rush to Ghost Cry Peak.
Moreover, the Elders stationed on the mountain must have already received the message and were rapidly rushing over.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth lifted and he smiled again.
"Just wait, you will soon understand the consequences of offending my Fang Family..."
However, at this moment, for some reason, a sense of unease far stronger than before surged in his heart.
"What's going on!?"
He was puzzled in his heart, his steps didn't stop, and he looked back.
With just this glance, he saw the red figure behind him, whose entire body was covered with pale white bone spurs at some point, reflecting points of cold light under the dim sunlight.
What truly attracted his attention was on his face, where a vertical eye had appeared between his eyebrows at some point. Its emotionless brown pupil was staring at him.
The vertical eye was full of indifference, as if looking at a struggling little mouse.
The moment his eyes met the vertical eye, an alarm bell rang in his heart, and all the hairs on his body stood on end.
"Heart Ape: Deterrence..."
A low, hoarse voice behind him cut through the air and came over.
Almost at the same time, no, it should have been earlier than the sound.
Fang Huasheng only felt his consciousness tremble and his mind shake, as if a huge giant ape that could move mountains and split the earth and roar at the sky had appeared in his mind out of nowhere.
The terrifying pressure emptied his consciousness, and his heart was already filled with endless fear.
"No... I can't let this go on..."
He was a Fang Family Genius after all, and his mental fortitude was not comparable to ordinary people.
Although his heart was filled with fear, in his daze, he still understood his situation.
"Get... Get out..."
Finally, he roared like a madman, dispelling the terrifying giant ape in the Sea of Consciousness, and his eyes regained clarity.
Without any hesitation, he ran frantically. At this moment, he no longer cared about Lin Sheng behind him, and there was only one thought in his heart: run...
However, he didn't notice that a tall figure had appeared in front of him.
Bang—
In his hasty escape, his consciousness had not fully recovered. He only felt as if he had hit a thick rock wall.
The impact made his bones ache all over, and the powerful recoil force sent him backward, landing on the ground on his backside.
He shook his head and opened his eyes, only to see a grim, crimson face.
"I..."
Fang Huasheng's eyes widened, wanting to say something.
But two red hands had already closed in from both sides.
Like two heaven-covering demonic claws, they cut through the dense air blasts and collided fiercely.
Fang Huasheng's voice stopped abruptly.
Nothing else, a good head had turned into a ball of blood mist.
The headless corpse sat on the ground and fell backward.
The red hands had already grabbed it, and the terrifying force was completely unleashed. This headless corpse instantly fell apart.
As a frying-like corrosive sound rang out, the damaged corpse rapidly dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a puddle of black water that seeped into the ground.
A living person had disappeared in just a few breaths.
Lin Sheng picked up the scattered items, and in the next instant, his figure had quickly moved away.
He disappeared in a few breaths.
Just about ten breaths after Lin Sheng left, a gust of wind swept over.
An old man in dark green clothes had appeared here.
"Sheng'er!?"
The old man had a long beard. Although his hair was already white, his complexion was quite rosy, and he looked only about thirty years old.
But the Fang Family disciples knew very well that this old man with crane hair and a childlike face was already over eighty years old and was the Fang Family's second Elder, Fang Jinping.
He was also the biological father of Fang Huasheng and Fang Huajie.
At this moment, Fang Jinping's face showed a hint of urgency.
The shattering of the jade pendant earlier had already informed him that Fang Huasheng had encountered trouble.
So, without waiting to go up the mountain, he immediately rushed here, but there was no one in sight.
"Where is he!?"
He frowned tightly, his gaze sweeping around, trying to find some clues.
At this moment, another person rushed over, also a figure in dark green clothes.
However, the owner of the figure was an old woman.
Holding a snake-shaped long staff in her hand, she showed a hint of surprise when she saw Fang Jinping's figure.
"Second Brother, why are you here?"
"Fifth Sister, I came here to replace you. The duty of guarding Ghost Cry Peak is now my responsibility. But now is not the time to talk about this. I think you've also seen the situation with the Bloodline jade pendant. That's Sheng'er's jade pendant. Let's find Sheng'er first."
Fang Jinping spoke in a deep voice.
As he spoke, his gaze was still carefully examining the surroundings.
The last location of the Bloodline jade pendant was here before it disappeared.
And not much time had passed, so it couldn't have gone far.
However, the empty scene before him made a bad premonition rise in his heart.
The old woman, named Fang Jinmei, frowned after hearing the old man's words, but she didn't dwell on the matter and focused on searching instead.
"Second Brother, don't worry too much. With Sheng'er's strength, it's not that easy for something to happen to him."
Although she was somewhat surprised that someone dared to act against a Fang Family disciple within Ghost Cry Peak.
In her opinion, with Fang Huasheng's strength in the Bones Transformation Realm, ordinary people could absolutely not threaten him.
Even she, a master who had already entered the fourth level of Bones Transformation, although she was confident she could defeat him, it wouldn't be that easy to take his life.
Fang Jinping naturally understood this principle, but the prolonged absence of Fang Huasheng made the bad premonition in his heart grow stronger.
Finally, when his gaze fell on a few small pits on the ground, he seemed to think of something bad.
His figure flashed, and he was already close.
He waved his hand and lifted a large area of the ground in front of him.
He saw sticky black liquid seeping down into the ground, emitting a foul smell.
Fang Jinping's face was ashen, and he unhesitatingly scooped up a handful of the black liquid.
The black liquid was extremely corrosive, causing wisps of white smoke to appear on his palm, and a stinging pain came from his palm.
But he didn't care, his eyes fixed on a few small bone fragments, only the size of a little finger nail, in the black viscous liquid.
Feeling the faint Bloodline aura emanating from them.
Fang Jinping clenched his fists, and the expression on his face immediately contorted.
A chilling killing intent emanated.
Fang Jinmei, not far away, noticed the abnormality here and immediately flew over.
"Second Brother, what's wrong!?"
She saw the black liquid in his hand and the small bone fragments at a glance, and also saw Fang Jinping's contorted face. She quickly reacted, and her expression changed.
"Second Brother, this is... Sheng'er..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Fang Jinping had already crushed the bone fragments in his hand and heavily punched the ground.
In an instant, the ground's rocks rolled, and the ground within a hundred meters radius flipped over.
"No matter who it is, I will make you die... I will grind your bones to dust..."
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked into the distance.
...
On the other side.
Lin Sheng had returned to the area of Da Cui Peak.
Standing on the edge of Da Cui Peak, he looked towards Ghost Cry Peak, then looked at Bo Peak in the distance, then withdrew his gaze and returned directly to his residence without stopping.
In the room, he took out his gains from this trip.
There wasn't much on Fang Huasheng.
First, a stack of banknotes. He glanced at them; they were all in denominations of one thousand taels, with more than ten notes, totaling fifteen thousand taels of silver.
"As expected of a Fang Family Genius, he carries so much money with him."
Lin Sheng's face showed a smile.
More than ten thousand taels of silver was not a small amount.
He could buy a Pseudo-Spirit Beast in the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall and still have some left.
Besides that, there were two small porcelain bottles, each containing two pills.
It was a pity that he took them out and looked at them, but he wasn't sure what the effects of these two bottles of pills were.
However, since he carried them with him, they must not be ordinary items.
After the commotion died down, he would find an opportunity to sell them.
In addition to these, there was one more thing.
Lin Sheng's gaze lowered. A Smelling Groundhog was lying motionless on the ground.
