Hou Qing originally planned to use Fang Xing as bait, but with Liu San's death, this bait no longer had any meaning.
Even if there was bait, he wouldn't be reckless enough to fight the Python Withered Toad alone. After all, it was a rank four monster, equivalent to a fourth layer spirit formation cultivator. In his previous plan, he planned to use Fang Xing as bait to lure the Python Withered Toad into a trap. Then, he would join forces with Liu San and Qian Tong, two third layer spirit formation experts, and Zhao Zhi, a second layer spirit formation expert to kill it.
But now that Liu San and Zhao Zhi were dead and Qian Tong was poisoned, he only had 30% of his strength left. How could he kill him?
Therefore, to Hou Qing, the current Fang Xing was already useless, so he planned to kill him directly.
But Fang Xing's words ignited his anger, so he decided to torture Fang Xing first before sending him on his way.
Although he was furious, he didn't let down his guard. Raising his Azure Edge Sword, he pressed forward step by step.
On the surface, Fang Xing was grinning. His right hand was already holding onto the Heavenly Cave Ring on his ponytail.
Whether they could escape or not, it all depended on this attack!
As the footsteps got closer, killing intent rose and the temperature became cold … …
Unexpectedly, just as the two of them were about to slash out their own attacks, suddenly, from the forest at the edge of the Imperial Capital, a deafening 'guwa' suddenly sounded out. The sound was like the mooing of a cow, resounding through the heavens, shaking the entire forest to the point of rustling.
Following the sound, a shadow the size of a small mountain jumped high into the sky from the northwest direction, blocking the moonlight and casting a terrifying shadow on the Demon Miasma Mountain … …
After a breath, the shadow fell down like a meteor. The direction it fell towards was exactly where Hou Qing and Fang Xing were.
"Bang!" A strong wind swept across, destroying the trees.
Fang Xing and Hou Qing couldn't stand steadily. Circulating their spiritual energy to protect themselves, they stared blankly at their left.
A thirty-meter-tall toad was squatting on the ground, staring at them with its blood-red eyes.
"Python Withered Toad, a fourth-order demonic beast. It is a hybrid between a demonic python and a withered toad. It breathes poisonous mist and wears python armor. Only divine weapons can harm it..."
A series of information emerged in Fang Xing's mind, causing him to open his mouth wide in shock.
It turned out to be the only fourth-order demonic beast in the outskirts of the Demon Miasma Mountain, the target of Hou Qing and the others!
Who would have thought that this old man would actually take the initiative to deliver himself at this time …
"It's Liu San …"
Hou Qing's eyes also turned cold. He quickly figured out this point. Damn it, the night was the time when the Python Withered Toad went out to hunt, but at this time, Fang Xing had killed Liu San and stabbed him many times. A large amount of blood and spiritual energy mixed together and spread out, making Liu San's corpse to the Python Withered Toad like a fragrant piece of Red Braised Meat, following the smell.
But he didn't expect that this monster would come so quickly, just as he was about to kill this brat!
Being deterred by the ferocious aura of the fourth-order demonic beast, even with Hou Qing's peak third layer spirit formation cultivation, he didn't dare to move.
Fang Xing was even more dumbfounded, his body stiffly leaning against the tree, not daring to move.
Facing such a powerful monster, no one dared to move …
"En?"
At this time, a wicked idea suddenly flashed through Fang Xing's little head …
His expression suddenly became very scary. His little mouth was pouting, as if he was about to cry. He actually mustered his courage and carefully called out to Hou Qing, "Hou … senior brother Hou … little brother begs you … take me … and escape together …"
His voice was as soft as a mosquito and didn't startle the Python Withered Toad. It seemed like he was extremely afraid.
Hou Qing was startled. Noticing Fang Xing's expression, it really looked like the reaction of a child who was extremely afraid. He quickly understood and a burst of joy rose in his heart, "This guy is still a child after all. Although he's usually bold and ruthless, once he thought of becoming the food of this Python Withered Toad, he was scared to the point of peeing his pants … Children are afraid of monsters, this is also normal!"
At this time, Hou Qing suddenly noticed that Fang Xing actually risked being targeted by the Python Withered Toad and used all his strength to wipe the blood stains on his body. As he wiped, he looked at the Python Withered Toad in horror, as if he was praying that he wouldn't be targeted by it.
"Blood stains …"
Hou Qing was taken aback. He secretly cursed himself for not reacting as fast as this little rascal. This Python Withered Toad was obviously attracted by the smell of Liu San's blood. In other words, between the two people, whoever had a stronger smell of blood on their body would be the easier target. This little rascal thought of this a bit faster than him and began to wipe the blood on his face …
There was more blood on his body. It was all stained when he killed the Demon Python. But this blood was all on his clothes. How could he wipe it?
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Hou Qing's eyes as he secretly said, "Little rascal, today I'll let you know how the word 'tragic' is written …"
After saying that, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist pouch. He then glanced at Fang Xing and flicked his finger.
"Whoosh …"
The porcelain bottle went straight for Fang Xing's head, immediately attracting the attention of the Python Withered Toad.
Fang Xing was taken aback when he saw this. He hastily moved his head to avoid the porcelain's attack.
"Bang!" The porcelain bottle hit the tree trunk behind him and immediately exploded.
A strong smell of blood came out. The tree trunk was covered with blood and it even splashed on Fang Xing's body.
It turned out to be a Blood Qi Pill, which was used to feed the Dragon Horses. Whenever the Dragon Horses were in a hurry and needed nourishment, they needed to be fed this pill. This pill was refined from the flesh and blood of low-level demon beasts. It contained a large amount of blood and Qi. Moreover, it was mixed with some smelly elixirs. It was the favorite of demon beasts. And its shape, to put it bluntly, looked like a pissing meatball …
The Python Withered Toad seemed to be attracted. Its two lantern-sized eyes rolled and stared at Fang Xing.
At this time, Hou Qing smiled slightly and waved his hand at Fang Xing. He opened his mouth silently, but it was saying, "Goodbye forever …"
Then, he turned around, quietly took two steps back, and immediately flew away.
At this juncture, it was naturally more important to escape. Using the Blood Qi Pill to attract the Python Withered Toad's attention, the monster toad would definitely devour the little demon first, and he would take advantage of this time to escape. Even if the Python Withered Toad was not full and would catch up again, he still had five Dragon Horses in his pocket. Later on, he would slaughter them and throw them behind him. Presumably, they could buy him some time.
In the blink of an eye, Hou Qing had calculated all the steps of the plan and thought that there was no mistake.
However, a scene that he had never expected happened. At the moment when he was fleeing at full speed, the Python Withered Toad, whose attention seemed to be completely attracted by Fang Xing, suddenly turned its eyes over. Then, with a loud "Guwa" sound, it opened its mouth and a blood-red, silk-like tongue shot out like an arrow. It was as fast as lightning and as sharp as a knife, and its target was impressively Hou Qing.
Hou Qing was greatly alarmed. He hastily rolled his body and drew a beautiful arc in the air, narrowly dodging the attack.
Even Fang Xing could not help but exclaim in admiration. This guy's movement technique was simply too authentic.
It was very certain that even if Hou Qing's cultivation of spirit formation third layer was not mentioned, he would definitely be an expert in Jianghu.
Whether it was that sword skill or that movement technique, it was enough to make a name for himself in the world of mortals.
However, no matter how handsome his movement technique was, it could not be faster than the Python Withered Toad's tongue. This rank four monster looked like a small mountain, but its tongue was like a snake or an arrow, abnormally flexible. After the first attack missed, before Hou Qing's body landed on the ground, the second attack had already shot out. After all, Hou Qing had never learned the Sweeping Qi technique. His body was unable to change direction in the air, so he had no choice but to slash out with his sword.
"Chi … …"
This sword slashed on the tip of the Python Withered Toad's tongue, but unexpectedly, it was soft and powerless. Using all his strength, the sword only left a shallow wound on the tongue, but it had also angered the Python Withered Toad. With a roar, its hostility was fully unleashed. With a stomp of its hind legs, it actually directly charged towards Hou Qing. At the same time, its fat front leg, which was as thick as a millstone, swept across the air and slapped towards Hou Qing.
"What the hell did this little bastard do? Why did the Python Withered Toad attack me? "
Hou Qing, who was being stared at by the Python Withered Toad, was full of fear. He did not understand. His calculations were flawless, but in the end, why did he fall into that brat's trap … … Damn it, that brat obviously did not do anything!
No matter what, Hou Qing could not think of what Fang Xing did to land himself in such a predicament.
At this time, Fang Xing was smiling proudly. While enduring the pain to correct his broken left arm, he watched Hou Qing and the Python Withered Toad fight to the death. This kind of feeling was a mixture of joy and pain, it was really refreshing!
The suppression of knowledge ah!
Probably Hou Qing would never have thought that Fang Xing did not do anything. The only thing he did was to hint him to escape … …
When the Yin Yang Fiendgod saw the Python Withered Toad for the first time, it had already mentioned its many characteristics. Among them, the one that caught Fang Xing's attention at first glance was: "Having not shed its beast form, it sees movement without movement … …"
Simply put, for a demon beast like the Python Withered Toad, unless it had cultivated to a place where it could transform into a human form, it would have a flaw in its eyesight. It could not see things that were still, but could see things that were moving very clearly. Because of this, when it was attracted by the smell of Liu San's blood and qi, it was able to see Hou Qing and Fang Xing in midair.
But after it landed, Fang Xing and Hou Qing did not dare to act rashly, so it could not see the two of them.
If not for this, how could there be time for Fang Xing to feign fear, wipe away the bloodstains, and Hou Qing to frame him?
Originally, Hou Qing's Blood Mortal Bead had indeed attracted the Python Withered Toad's attention, and the thick smell of blood and qi had also given the Python Withered Toad a sense of direction. But what Hou Qing did next was an enormous mistake. It was also the mistake that Fang Xing had always hoped he would make, and that was to use extreme speed to escape … …
Once he moved, it was over. The Python Withered Toad's target immediately turned towards him.
