But what greeted Yixiong’s weeping complaint was Fang Chen’s fierce Qi Fist…
Fang Chen now just wanted to utterly beat this creature to death.
Right at that moment.
Crack.
Crack!
Clatter!
The Yin-Yang Furnace stiffened entirely, seemingly sensing an immense force strike it, and then the entire Formation shattered apart with a loud boom.
A powerful wave of force immediately swept through the entire mansion!
Even though Fang Chen’s essence, energy, and spirit were all in perfect condition, he couldn’t help but be forced back several steps at this moment.
As for Yixiong, it was even swept off the roof by the force wave…
But precisely because of this, Yixiong escaped a disaster!
Just as the great formation shattered and the force wave swept across the scene, a streak of flowing sword light arrived in an instant from the distance, landing right in front of Fang Chen.
The newcomer wore a flowing dress like water blue, her black hair disheveled yet carrying a youthful charm, but her stunning face was no longer its usual aloofness-it was instead filled with anxiety and worry. Her eye sockets were red and swollen, clearly showing she had been crying…
And just as she landed before Fang Chen, before she could even steady herself, she asked with a slightly tearful voice, “Senior Brother, are you all right?!”
The newcomer was precisely Jiang Ningyi!
At this moment, faced with the young girl’s tears, Fang Chen’s heart stirred with ripples…
Seeing Jiang Ningyi like this, Fang Chen, who originally intended to draw a clear boundary with her, even if he had a heart of iron, couldn’t bring himself to open his mouth and send her away.
He could only force a bitter smile and say, “I’m fine!”
“Really?”
Jiang Ningyi’s first reaction was obviously disbelief, because Fang Chen was covered in blood, especially the front of his robe, which was stained with blue mixed with purple poisonous blood. Just one look and you knew he had been through an extremely brutal battle.
“Really!”
Fang Chen nodded.
Jiang Ningyi still didn’t quite believe it…
At that moment, a voice, gentle yet containing a hint of allure, rang out, “Stop panicking, this kid is fine, what he says is true!”
Behind Jiang Ningyi, a crimson figure slowly approached; the person hadn’t arrived yet, but a rich, fragrant scent drifted over first.
Fang Chen looked over, and snowy skin and flower-like beauty entered his eyes.
It was precisely Hua Qirong who had broken the formation.
And behind her was the demonic tiger Yixiong, tightly bound and restrained.
Seeing that Hua Qirong’s first action after breaking the formation was to capture Yixiong, Fang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Good, as long as this bastard didn’t escape.
This kid, he’s been hiding quite a few things!
Seeing Hua Qirong say Fang Chen was fine, Jiang Ningyi finally calmed down a bit, then she seriously looked at Fang Chen, and only then did she truly relax.
Senior Brother Fang might look disheveled and bloodstained, but upon closer inspection, his energy was full and robust-completely not the look of someone about to die.
“Senior Brother Fang, it’s really great that you’re all right.”
Jiang Ningyi let out a long sigh, the redness in her eye sockets finally revealing a trace of joy.
Fang Chen looked at Jiang Ningyi.
He didn’t know how to deal with Jiang Ningyi now.
Making him speak like he did earlier, opening his mouth to insult her, felt a bit wrong considering this little girl’s tears.
But making him respond warmly, he was too afraid of death…
Sigh.
Forget it.
Life is more important!
He didn’t want to be killed by his own wife to prove a Dao!
In the end, he could only nod silently without a word.
At that moment, Hua Qirong walked forward, giving Fang Chen a meaningful look, and said, “Fang Chen, it seems I underestimated you.”
“I originally thought I wouldn’t make it in time, but I didn’t expect you to be so deep and unassuming, actually able to defeat this demonic tiger.”
She thought to herself…
Good kid, this energy of yours is powerful and robust, and it even carries a hidden imposing presence-it’s not Qi Condensation Ninth Grade, but Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!
To think he’s actually a disciple from the Fang family, to actually have a Dharma Treasure capable of concealing his aura to this extent, he almost fooled even me!
In Hua Qirong’s mind, she had already concluded that Fang Chen had previously used a Dharma Treasure to conceal his aura, making her mistakenly think he was only Qi Condensation Ninth Grade.
Fang Chen performed a salute and said, “Elder Hua, you flatter me. It’s because I knew you would come to save me that I managed to persevere desperately.”
“If it weren’t for you, with my cultivation level, I would have probably given up resisting long ago and waited for death.”
“Now, you’ve allowed me to escape from the tiger’s mouth. I should be thanking you for your life-saving grace!”
Hua Qirong gave a half-smile and pointed at Yixiong, who was tightly bound in the distance, saying, “You call this escaping from the tiger’s mouth? Isn’t that a bit of a joke?”
Fang Chen cleared his throat dryly, not showing the slightest hint of embarrassment.
What’s wrong with buttering up Hua Qirong a bit?
Hua Qirong cut him off, “Enough, this is your ability, no need to shift it onto me.”
“Being able to defeat a demonic tiger represents that your combat ability is extremely strong-fighting across five grades, and against this demonic tiger at that… Tsk, this isn’t something an ordinary Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator could accomplish.”
“And also, being able to survive within this Yin-Yang Furnace formation is enough proof that your formation ability far exceeds my imagination.”
“Being deep and unassuming, low-key and humble is a good thing, but don’t overdo it, understand?”
Only then did Fang Chen shut up and stop talking.
As for Jiang Ningyi standing to the side, upon hearing this, she was suddenly stunned, and then a flash of sudden understanding passed through her beautiful eyes-so that’s how it is!
She understood everything!
At that moment, a panicked voice came from the distance, “Senior Brother, Senior Brother, are you all right?!”
The three of them turned to look, and saw Xiao Qing rushing over.
Behind him followed Ling Wan’er.
“I’m fine, thanks to Elder Hua rescuing me in time.”
Fang Chen said with a smile.
These words earned another eye-roll from Hua Qirong.
“That’s good…”
Xiao Qing and Ling Wan’er breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He had just been in the hot spring medicinal bath when he heard earth-shattering noises coming from Fang Chen’s location, immediately sensing something was wrong. Concerned for Fang Chen, he hurried over as fast as he could.
On the way, he even ran into Ling Wan’er.
But seeing Xiao Qing’s arrival, Hua Qirong was taken aback-this child, how could he have the aura of the Shattered Jade Pills she refined?
How many years had it been since she provided her self-refined Shattered Jade Pills to the Sect?
But then, she looked at Fang Chen, and then seemed to understand something, finding it both laughable and exasperating. Her gaze towards Fang Chen also unknowingly grew increasingly gentle…
No wonder!
So that’s how it is.
“Alright, your Senior Brother Fang is fine now. However, give him some time to rest. After a great battle, he’s inevitably sustained some injuries. I’ll stay here to check on him; the three of you go out first!”
Hua Qirong said.
“Yes!”
Ling Wan’er and Xiao Qing, who arrived late, originally wanted to say something, but could only obediently follow instructions.
As for Jiang Ningyi, who hadn’t spoken a word since earlier, she remained silent now as well. She just glanced at Fang Chen once, then turned and left.
This glance, whether it was his own illusion or not, in any case, Fang Chen felt deeply worried seeing it…
After everyone had left.
Fang Chen looked at Hua Qirong, who remained before him, not daring to let his gaze linger too long on her curvaceous, shapely figure, and lowered his head, saying, “Elder Hua, may I ask why you’ve stayed here?!”
Hua Qirong gave him a half-smile, “You know I didn’t stay here to treat you?”
“If you had nothing else to do, you should be able to see that I’m fine.”
Fang Chen said.
An Elder shouldn’t lack the skill to see he was in peak condition.
Hua Qirong was left momentarily speechless, only after reacting did she feel like she had just been subtly mocked by Fang Chen.
She glared at Fang Chen, too lazy to bother, and said, “Staying here is to first deal with this demonic tiger matter with you.”
