Chapter 452: The Chase

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

A truly powerful being would not be destroyed in a single werewolf swipe.

“Magical clone? Illusionary shadow?”

In mid-air, Curtly’s voice spread throughout the entire city before he remained silent. “This is troubling…”

Although they were all powerful beings, it was not an easy task to locate someone in their vast world.

“This technique of magical clone is extremely powerful!”

Farquhar saw the other side of it. “His demonic prowess is indeed powerful to be able to go undetected under the Hidden Cultivators Sect and even under you, Extreme Darkness!”

“Ahwooo!”

As the howl of a wolf was heard, Jon’s hair retracted and he transformed back into a well-built man. He gazed at Extreme Darkness with an impatient look. “All of this is due to your inaccuracy!”

“That’s right, even I cannot distinguish between him and his magical clone…”

Extreme Darkness let out a bitter laugh.

At that moment, all of them were sure that Fang Yuan was in the bungalow.

If not, why would all of them use their killer moves? However, gazing at the Huiming City which was destroyed, the 4 powerful beings remained silent.

“What about…”

The Vampire’s First Ancestor, Curtly spoke. “Do you think it will work if we capture his family members and friends to threaten him? I’ve heard that he has two adopted daughters…”

“Or we could announce our challenge to him. If he doesn’t appear, we can kill our way city by city!”

The werewolf gazed at the bloodied city and was already in a state of excitement.

“That’s impossible!”

Extreme Darkness thought for a while before shaking her head. “Since he has already escaped, it must mean that he has already expected us. By now, he would have moved his family members or even cut ties with them. Even if we torture his daughters in front of him, he would not waver the slightest bit.”

“It is even more impossible to kill entire cities!”

Farquhar raised his objection. “If we were to repeat what we have done previously, we will surely attract the attention of the Hidden Cultivators Sect.”

“Who’s that?”

“Evacuate the people and activate the army!”

…

At this point in time, the people started to become aware of the commotion. A few mutants rose up into the air and appeared as though they were willing to fight with their lives.

They knew that they were up against powerful beings who could destroy entire cities and that they did not stand any chance against these beings!

However, for their families and friends, or even for their faiths, they had to fight.

“Don’t overdo it!”

Seeing this, Farquhar’s expression changed. “After all, the array is still here!”

“Hehe… don’t worry!”

Curtly was displeased at the fact that they had used all their powers but to no avail. With a chuckle, a dark-red cloud hovered in the sky before descending down, trapping a few unlucky ones in it. Not long after, cries of sorrow were heard.

“Rumble!”

Soon after, a few black dots appeared on the horizon. They were fighter jets flying towards the city at full speed.

“Could they be carrying atomic bombs with them?”

Witnessing this scene, Jon’s eyes turned bloodshot and his expression turned into a ferocious one. “I’ve always wanted to test the limits of my regenerative powers!”

“It’s impossible!”

Extreme Darkness shook her head. “Not everyone is as crazy as you to test their limits. They would not abruptly attack us, even after considering about the citizens in the city!”

“What should we do?”

Farquhar frowned.

The four of them had combined forces this time, but none of them would have considered that they would end up in such an awkward situation.

In fact, they were all highly skilled in skills, predictions or even techniques to search people.

However, Fang Yuan was too cautious and did not leave any traces behind for them to search for him.

Now that he had covered all his traces up, the four of them had no luck even after performing their spells and techniques.

“Extreme Darkness… Since things have developed to such a stage, we shall leave first!”

After a long while, Farquhar gazed at the three of them and spoke.

This lady had once helped them to capture the 9 Headed Cerberus and had constantly provided them with benefits, which made them agree to help her out for once.

However, none of them had expected that their enemy would disappear just like that.

“Beautiful lady, don’t you worry. We will stick to our promises!”

Curtly continued. “As long as you discover traces of the enemy, you just need to inform us and we will arrive in the quickest possible time!”

“Whoosh!”

As soon as he finished his sentence, he exploded into countless blood-hued bats which flew into the sky towards the East.

“I’m sorry, I cannot leave the Holy Mountain for too long as well!”

Seeing this, Farquhar shrugged his shoulders and left with Werewolf Jon.

“D*mn!”

Witnessing their departure, Extreme Darkness gritted her teeth.

She continued to wait in her spot in anticipation, even until the sun had set. Only then did she unwillingly left. Before leaving, she gazed in a certain direction as though she was warning somebody.

“Hehe…”

In a few moments, Xing Hezi’s silhouette appeared as he shook his head. “Four highly skilled cultivators in the Divine Returning Grade and they are still no match to a puppet. This is a joke… It’s a pity that the fight did not start. Also, it seems that that lady is still too inexperienced…”

By waiting, Extreme Darkness must have been trying to bait Fang Yuan out.

The 3 of them, being cunning, would surely be hiding somewhere and were creating an act to lure Fang Yuan out to deliver a killer blow to him if he were to appear.

It was obvious that this plan had failed since Fang Yuan had decided to be a coward.

“This lady doll is ruthless…”

Xing Hezi sighed as he gazed at the destructive scene. “Fortunately, they did not destroy the foundation of the array. After this blood sacrifice, we have enough grieving souls to allow the array to regenerate itself if it was destroyed. The array eye will mature without any complications.”

“However… this Fang Yuan…”

Even Xing Hezi himself had a fear for Fang Yuan.

His secret identity as a suspected otherworldly demon was only one of the worries.

More importantly, Fang Yuan had displayed his attitude of not conforming to any rules.

Thousand Rock Lord had only spied on him once but was killed soon after. This time, against 4 powerful beings, Fang Yuan knew how to hide and react to anything that would happen.

Such a person was akin to a poisonous snake! If the snake was not killed in a single blow, complications would arise!

’Since this is so, I shall not go after the two adopted daughters. I shall leave this to others!’

Xing Hezi thought to himself for a moment before whipping his whisk. With that, night came and the stars glittered brilliantly in the night sky.

“The mortals are stupid and I am here to save the world!”

With a cold laugh, his executed a special technique before stretching forward.

“Rumble!”

The power of the stars descended and everywhere shook.

…

“This is weird!”

In the prosperous land of the Jade Palace Faction, Fang Yuan opened his eyes and started to suspect something. “It seems like… it is not Elder Extreme Darkness!”

Although Fang Yuan was confident of his own ability to conceal himself, he was wary of the fact that his enemy might be an elder in the Illusionary Divine stage. Her powers were limitless and if she was desperate enough, she could surely find her way to Fang Yuan.

Therefore, Fang Yuan had chosen the prosperous land as the place for the final showdown.

With the foundation laid out by the Jade Palace Faction, Fang Yuan had adapted it to create a few powerful arrays. If he were to activate all of them at one go, the enemy would surely be caught off guard.

Furthermore, there was also a secret tunnel which he could control at will to use it to attack or defend.

“But now… none of them are here. What in the world is happening?”

Fang Yuan was dissatisfied at the fact that all his planning had come to a nought.

“The Spying Eye outside did not detect anything as well. It seems like this Extreme Darkness is not actively looking for others, but is unable to find me…”

Fang Yuan rubbed his chin and felt at a loss. “Could Elder really be this weak? Or could it be… that I am scaring myself, and that she did not even dream-traverse here in the first place?”

“If that is the case…”

To this point, he came to a decision. Swiftly, he left the prosperous land and rushed towards the West Continent at full speed.

…

After a few months.

On the ocean surface just next to the Golden Eagle Federation, two streaks of light were flying at top speed.

“She is indeed not Extreme Darkness!”

Fang Yuan turned into a streak of lightning and his intent to kill was locked on the silhouette in front of him.

He had secretly arrived at Golden Eagle Federation and snuck into the government to wait. With a little patience and spells, he finally found traces of the Demon Weapon.

With that, his next cause of action was to directly strike her with a bolt of lightning.

Never would he have thought that as soon as he appeared, the other party would start to flee. This did not feel like Elder Extreme Darkness at all.

“Fang Yuan, I know… You are that otherworldly demon which everyone in our world hates!”

Extreme Darkness fled as she continued to speak. “I have already notified the alliance members of the Demon Alliance. They will come here as soon as they can. Once you are being surrounded, you will surely be killed.”

Regardless of how she threatened Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan continued to chase her without giving her even a moment to breathe.

“You know my identity and you are skilled in a few weird secret spells. It seems like you are still the Demon Weapon I know. However, you have obtained a few memories and benefits after all these years… To speak the truth, I admire you for the fact that you are able to fight back.”

Fang Yuan was starting to feel interested towards this young girl.

It would be a feat for Extreme Darkness to re-enter the realm, execute her plan and turn out victorious.

Furthermore, after destroying her spirit, Fang Yuan would be able to absorb some of the Demon Weapon’s memories. Even if Extreme Darkness were to seal some of these memories, they would be parts where Fang Yuan would be interested in.

Furthermore, this young lady had the clone body of Extreme Darkness and even parts of Extreme Darkness’s soul. What would this mean? This would mean that she would be almost identical to the actual Elder Extreme Darkness, like a magical clone out of control!

If Fang Yuan could control this magical clone, he would be able to obtain a lot of valuable information and secrets! If he were to bring these pieces of information back to Da Qian, he could even have the chips to bargain and deal with Elder Extreme Darkness.

“The bait which I have put in place has worked now that I have attracted such a huge fish.”

As waves of spiritual energy rolled across the surface of the ocean, Fang Yuan was filled with satisfaction.

“Roar! Roar!”

At this point in time, a dragon’s roar was heard from a distance ahead, and Extreme Darkness appeared relieved.
