"Even the current Tyrant fell at his hands."
"The number one newcomer of the Demonic Path — he is the number one newcomer of this generation's Demonic Path!"
The crowd erupted in an uproar, countless people buzzing with excitement, whispering to one another.
The Four Elders of the Tie family faltered for a heartbeat, then attacked one after another. But Fang Yuan flapped his wings and dodged with ease, his agility so exquisite it left onlookers in awe.
Having been besieged for so many days, Fang Yuan had grown this much!
Not only had he advanced to the Middle Stage of his cultivation, but he had also mastered such refined flying techniques. Judging from this, the Southern Border was about to gain yet another aerial powerhouse. How on earth had he managed it?
Bai Ningbing had once considered practicing flight. But flying was far too troublesome — the volume of training required was enormous, it took a long time, and demanded patient, grinding effort. The energy invested was great, but the short-term results were minimal. Bai Ningbing had decided against it for that reason.
Who would have thought that Fang Yuan, without a word, had quietly mastered such a complete suite of flying techniques!
This was simply beyond all common understanding!
"Could it be that he obtained some extraordinary fortune within the Three Kings' Inheritance?" Bai Ningbing's thoughts naturally turned in that direction.
In fact, without Fang Yuan needing to explain, many people had already linked his performance to the Three Kings' Inheritance.
The Four Tie Elders withdrew their Iron Cabinet Gu, allowing Bai Ningbing to regain her freedom with ease.
Now that both Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing were gathered together, the situation seemed to have become as dangerous as it could possibly be.
The four elders stood as if facing a mortal enemy. They clustered tightly around the Iron Cabinet Gu containing Tie Ruonan, guarding it firmly at the center while keeping a death watch against Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing.
Fang Yuan stared at the Iron Cabinet Gu. A bitter sense of reluctance stirred within him.
Tie Baxiu had retreated to the bitter end, falling short at the last hurdle. Fang Yuan had pursued him the entire way, yet ultimately failed as well — he hadn't managed to take Tie Ruonan's life. Without a doubt, if not for Tie Ruonan's existence, he wouldn't have been able to kill Tie Baxiu so easily. As things stood, he could only let it go. On the surface, Fang Yuan brimmed with killing intent. But in truth, his will to fight was already beginning to fade.
After fighting the entire way, the True Essence within his Empty Orifice was nearly depleted, whereas the Four Tie Elders were still in perfect condition.
At the same time, there were numerous Gu Masters watching from the surroundings — many jackals lurking in the shadows, coveting an opportunity, waiting to reap whatever advantage they could. Not to mention anyone else, Li Xian alone harbored exactly such intentions.
"Time to stop." Fang Yuan sighed inwardly, then called out in a loud, clear voice: "Four Tie Elders — my companion killed one of yours, and you detained her for all these days. I've killed six of your Tie family. How much longer do you intend to hold me here?"
This was pure provocation, enough to make the corners of the Four Tie Elders' eyes twitch with fury.
"Little Beast King, don't you dare be so arrogant! You slaughtered our Tie family disciples, killed Elder Baxiu, and hunted down our young master — you are already an irreconcilable enemy of the Tie family! I swear here: I will exhaust my entire life's span and spare no cost to capture you and imprison you in the Demon Suppression Tower, where you will suffer endless torment and punishment!" The leader of the Four Tie Elders roared in reply.
Though he spoke such words, he didn't dare make any rash moves.
The battle prowess the Little Beast King had displayed left him horrified. If Bai Ningbing were added to the mix...
"Hahaha, very well! In that case, I shall regard the Tie family as my mortal enemy from this day forward! Henceforth, any Tie family disciple I come across — one I kill one, two I kill a pair!" Fang Yuan let out a wild laugh, then swept his wings and departed.
Under the disappointed gaze of many Gu Masters with ulterior motives, he voluntarily withdrew.
Bai Ningbing departed as well.
The results of this battle spread across the entire Tricross Mountain like lightning.
What was Tricross Mountain now?
It was the place where the Three Kings' inheritance had appeared — the place where the entire Southern Border, countless families, and both Righteous Path and Demonic Path figures had all focused their attention.
Before long, the battle report of Fang Yuan fighting seven opponents alone and slaying Tie Baxiu spread across the entire Southern Border.
Inevitably, Fang Yuan's fame exploded!
……
"This kid actually killed Tie Baxiu? Is this news reliable?"
In the Yan family fortress, Young Master Yan Jun heard this report from his subordinates and could barely believe his own ears.
What kind of person was Tie Baxiu?
He had been famous for ages, known as the Overlord of the Age, possessing the Earth Overlord Gu, with combat power that surpassed ordinary Peak Stage Fourth Transformation fighters!
He was the pillar of the super family, the Tie clan — a master capable of holding his own against any threat.
But he had actually been chased down and killed by a junior — the Little Beast King Fang Zheng, who possessed only Middle Stage Fourth Transformation cultivation?
"This Little Beast King can actually challenge opponents above his rank and even kill Tie Baxiu? What kind of person is he, exactly? I've never even heard of him." Yan Jun frowned as he asked.
His subordinate hurriedly reported: "Young Master, you inherited the Primordial Void Path inheritance and have been in closed-door cultivation for five years. It's only natural that you wouldn't know of Fang Zheng. This person is only twenty-five years old — a demonic prodigy who has only emerged in recent years..."
……
"The Little Beast King Fang Zheng? These young people today are truly remarkable! The rear waves of the Yangtze push the front waves, and the front waves die on the shore. Tsk, tsk..."
In the mountain forest, Feng Tianyu walked at a leisurely pace, his mind replaying the news he had just heard — his sighs and reflections tinged with a hint of fervor.
"I hear the Little Beast King was able to master flight techniques and grow so quickly precisely because he gained benefits from the Three Kings' inheritance! The Three Kings' inheritance..."
