At this moment, Fang Xing naturally didn't know what was happening in the outside world. He only felt that his surroundings were dark and heavy with pressure.
Fortunately, although the demon toad's entire body was poisonous, there was no poison in its body. There was only a poison gland in its mouth that could spit out poisonous smoke. Fang Xing's position just happened to be in the demon toad's throat where the poison gland couldn't affect him. In addition, the demon toad had used its ability to suck its prey into its stomach, so it had spat out all of its poisonous smoke. There was very little left.
Thus, at this moment, the demon toad could only instinctively move its esophagus, wanting to swallow Fang Xing into its stomach.
Fang Xing felt the pressure around him increase, but he also became angry. His right hand was still holding onto the knife in the demon toad's throat. He couldn't let go of it, so he endured the heart-wrenching pain and raised his left hand to his back, holding onto the Heavenly Abode Ring that was used to tie up his hair.
"Nine Serpent Golden Flame Sword, come out!"
With a painful roar, the Nine Serpent Golden Flame Sword was summoned. In an instant, the sword shined with a golden light and twisted around the demon toad's stomach.
In the outside world, Hou Qing, who was taking advantage of the demon toad's frenzy to fight it, looked like he was in a terrible state.
At this moment, he forcefully replenished his spiritual energy, taking advantage of the demon toad's frenzy to fight it. He only wanted to take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity to take it down. He used all of his skills, flying swords crisscrossing, his body flying. To this Demon Toad, he was like a venomous bee, constantly piercing his sharp poisonous stinger into the places where the Demon Toad's defense was low.
At this moment, the demon toad seemed to have lost its mind. It only knew how to randomly hit its head and head, completely ignoring some of his attacks. The entire forest was destroyed by it, and strange rocks flew everywhere.
However, in this frenzied state, the demon toad still caused a lot of damage to Hou Qing. His shoulder was pierced by the toad's tongue, his left leg was splashed with poison, and his chest was hit by the demon toad without any regard for its life. Three of his ribs were broken.
The most important thing was that he didn't have much spiritual energy left.
Of course, the results were also very remarkable. One of the Demon Toad's eyes was pierced by him, and the part of its abdomen that was not covered by the python scales was almost cut open by him with his flying sword. Its internal organs flowed out, and half of them were dragging on the ground.
If the Monster Toad hadn't gone berserk, Hou Qing wouldn't have had the chance to deal such a heavy blow to it.
It was also at this moment that the exhausted Hou Qing suddenly saw the Demonic Toad desperately jump up. Its four limbs straightened and a golden light appeared in its mouth. Hou Qing was immediately shocked.
"This monster toad is already injured to this extent, but it still has some magical powers left?"
In his shock, he forcibly gathered a mouthful of spiritual energy and dragged his almost completely crippled left leg to escape.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he saw the Demon Toad that had jumped into the air fall heavily to the ground. Its mouth was half open and its body was lying on the ground. It twitched a few times before it stopped moving.
"Dead?"
Hou Qing was shocked, but he also felt an indescribable excitement.
"I actually killed a Rank 4 Demonic Beast Withered Python Toad with my own strength?"
Even though he had always been a steady person, this amazing battle record made him excited.
Fighting with a higher rank and killing a Rank 4 Ferocious Beast, this was an achievement that would make the entire Dao Sect exclaim in admiration!
Perhaps there were many people in the Dao Sect who could kill this monster with a swing of their sword, but there were definitely not many who could do it at the spirit formation third layer.
"This is really a blessing from the heavens. I, Hou Qing, have entered the inner sect. I will definitely burn incense as a sacrifice to the heavens!"
Hou Qing stopped and took a few breaths. After praying, he prepared to cut open the Demon Toad.
However, at this moment, the Demon Toad's already dead body suddenly twitched and its mouth opened a little wider. The fishy smell of internal organs, minced meat, and dirty blood gushed out together with some undigested prey. What attracted Hou Qing's attention the most was that there was actually a child lying inside. It was Fang Xing. He was motionless and breathless, as if he had been dead for a long time.
Seeing this, Hou Qing couldn't help but sneer and thought: "Even if you are as slippery as a ghost, you still became food for the Demon Toad?"
He dragged his broken leg and was about to go over to take a look when he suddenly thought of something.
"Once the little demon was swallowed into the Demon Toad's stomach, the Demon Toad suddenly went crazy. Maybe he did something?"
Hou Qing thought. Although he was extremely unwilling to share the credit of killing the Demon Toad to others, he still maintained his rationality and carefully analyzed the problem: "Although he seems to be dead right now, it's still better to be careful when facing this guy … …"
As he said that, he gathered his remaining spiritual energy and forcefully took out his flying sword and slashed at the moving Fang Xing.
Seeing that the flying sword was about to slash at Fang Xing, the clearly dead Fang Xing suddenly flipped over and sat up. He laughed and said: "You're quite smart. Even this can't fool you?"
As he spoke, he opened his five hands and suddenly a golden flying sword flew out from behind him. The sword seemed to be burning with golden flames and there were also nine small snakes dancing around it. It looked extremely strange. This flying sword collided with Hou Qing's flying sword and was immediately deflected. Fang Xing took the opportunity to crawl up and escape. However, he had only run two or three feet when he suddenly exclaimed and turned around.
Hou Qing's sword did not kill Fang Xing and was about to use a second sword when he suddenly froze … …
At this moment, Fang Xing turned around and looked at him with a face full of excitement.
Hou Qing also looked at Fang Xing and suddenly thought of a problem.
"Shua … …"
Hou Qing did not say a word and suddenly turned around to run.
Fang Xing laughed and chased after him, shouting: "You actually have no spiritual energy. Serves you right to fall into my hands … …"
It turned out that during this fight, Hou Qing and Fang Xing suddenly discovered a problem at the same time.
After the battle with the monster toad, Hou Qing did not have much spiritual energy left.
Fang Xing was immediately overjoyed and turned around to chase after him. Hou Qing's expression changed greatly and he turned around to escape without a care for anything else.
One chasing and one fleeing, Fang Xing quickly caught up. After all, his left arm was injured while Hou Qing's left leg was injured. Moreover, although Fang Xing was in a dangerous situation, he actually did not fight head-on, so he did not use much spiritual energy. As for Hou Qing, when Fang Xing was causing trouble in the monster toad's stomach, he had been fighting head-on with the monster toad. Not only did he use up a lot of spiritual energy, but he also had a body full of injuries.
For cultivators, spiritual energy was power. Without spiritual energy, they were no different from mortals.
"Sou … …"
Fang Xing chased after Hou Qing for a few steps. When he was only three to four feet away from Hou Qing, he suddenly took out the nine serpent golden flame sword.
"Hehe, surnamed Hou, thank you for your monster spirit core … …"
Hou Qing was madly running. The only thought in his mind was to escape. No matter what, he would not stop. However, when he heard Fang Xing's words, he was suddenly startled. His face revealed an expression of disbelief. As a thought appeared in his mind, he immediately remembered the strange nine serpent golden flame sword that Fang Xing took out. Where did he see it before … …
"It's you!"
An invisible flame of anger burned Hou Xing's rationality. He suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Could it be … … that the person who swindled my monster spirit core was you?"
Hou Qing's eyes were spitting fire. His expression was distorted and his hair almost stood on end.
"That's right, it's me. That monster spirit core's effect is really good. It allowed me to break through to the peak 2nd layer of spirit formation in one step!"
Fang Xing stopped and looked at Hou Qing with a sneer. He reached behind his head and took out the Thousand Luo Ghost Mask. He put the mask on his face and poured his spiritual power into it. His whole body immediately changed. He became taller and bigger. The mask disappeared, and a very ordinary-looking man's face appeared. It was the Great Thief that Hou Qing had thought about day and night and wanted to cut into pieces.
"I didn't expect it to be you … … it's you … … it's you who caused me to lose my monster spirit core … … I was forced to accept this talisman … … it's you again … … ruined my mission … … killed my companion … … ruined my chance to complete the mission … …"
Hou Qing gritted his teeth. The anger in his heart was about to burst out from his mouth. He looked like he was going to devour someone.
"That's right, it's me. Now I'll add one more … … take your life!"
Fang Xing laughed. Suddenly, his face turned cold. The Nine Serpent Golden Flame Sword that was circling around him shone brightly and was about to slash out.
Hou Qing was instantly startled, and his mind cleared up. At the moment, escaping was the most important thing. This little demon was afraid that he would escape, so he called out to him. However, it was too late for him to react now. When he stood still, it was already very difficult for him to escape from Fang Xing's pursuit. At the critical moment, he hardened his heart and hurriedly shouted, "Fang Xing, you want to kill me just like that?"
Fang Xing's sword paused for a moment. He suspiciously said, "Don't tell me we still want to chat?"
Hou Qing sneered, "That's right. Didn't you say you want me to know how to write the word 'cool'?"
While speaking, he secretly took out a pill and held it between his fingers.
This pill was called the Burning Qi Pill. After swallowing it, it would burn Hou Qing's cultivation, causing him to drop to rank two spirit formation. However, in exchange, he would be filled with spiritual energy for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn. He decided to use this opportunity to kill this hateful brat.
Just like how Fang Xing tried to stall for time under his sword, he also wanted to stall for time under Fang Xing's sword.
When Fang Xing heard this, he indeed chuckled and said, "That makes sense. Killing you directly like this is indeed not very satisfying!"
As he spoke, he slowly walked over with a dirty expression on his face.
Hou Qing sneered. When Fang Xing got closer, he would swing his sword and force Fang Xing to defend himself. Then, he would swallow the pill.
Currently, his spiritual energy was weak. He could only wait for Fang Xing to get closer. Only then would he be able to increase the lethality of his flying sword and force him to defend himself.
However, he didn't expect that Fang Xing, who looked like he was about to step forward, would suddenly smile and form a sword seal after taking just half a step forward.
In a split second, the Nine Serpent Golden Flame Sword shone brightly and slashed towards Hou Qing.
