The smell of blood was thick and pungent. On the withered yellow sand, corpses lay scattered everywhere.
Fang Yuan stood among the dead bodies and summoned the Woman’s Heart Immortal Gu.
The immortal gu rose slowly, suspended in mid-air, emitting a sauce-purple radiance. The radiance enveloped the silent battlefield, and after a few breaths, all the female corpses on the battlefield suddenly began to tremble.
The trembling of the corpses grew more and more intense, and finally, with a series of “puff puff puff” sounds, hearts one by one burst out from the bodies, slowly rising and flying towards the Woman’s Heart in mid-air.
Before they even got close, these bloody hearts were assimilated in the air by the sauce-purple radiance, turning into clumps of dark purple light.
The light clumps were like young swallows returning to their nest, all plunging into the Woman’s Heart.
The poisonous Dao Immortal Gu, Woman’s Heart, trembled slightly, letting out a harsh cry, as if it was joyful from feeding.
After a moment, all the women’s hearts from the battlefield had been consumed as food for the Woman’s Heart.
Fang Yuan recalled the Woman’s Heart.
The hunger state of this immortal gu had been relieved somewhat, but it was still not full.
Fang Yuan frowned slightly: “Based on this progress, to fully feed the Woman’s Heart Immortal Gu, at least four thousand more women’s hearts are needed. The caravan I massacred was already quite powerful, and such a large scale is rare even in the Western Desert.”
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then shot into the sky.
In mid-air, he extended his palm and pressed down towards the ground.
Instantly, thousands of fireballs materialized out of thin air, bombarding the battlefield. With continuous explosions, sand and stones flew, bodies burned, turning into a sea of fire.
This wasn’t a killing move, but simply a stacking of numbers, using many identical Fire Dao mortal gu.
Fang Yuan then threw out a few dark brown oil dragons.
The oil dragons plunged into the sea of fire, immediately intensifying the flames, burning the battlefield to destroy traces.
After doing all this, Fang Yuan finally flapped his Light Void Bat Wings and flew through the air.
He flew quickly northeast, bypassing several large oases, and finally found his target—a small oasis.
From a high altitude, the oasis was like a gem embedded in the golden-yellow desert.
In the oasis, there was a lake, clear and blue, surrounded by shady trees, and many people lived there. The market was bustling with people, a scene of prosperity and peace.
Fang Yuan did not conceal his presence; he appeared in the cloudless clear sky, extremely conspicuous.
A group of gu masters immediately rode sand gulls and ascended from the oasis.
“What is this monster?”
“It seems like a zombie!”
These gu masters, including many young ones, saw Fang Yuan’s fierce and terrifying appearance from afar and couldn’t help but mutter quietly.
They were almost all of the second level, with only one being a third-level gu master, who was the leader.
This group flew to a distance of three hundred steps from Fang Yuan and did not approach any further.
The leader, with a cautious face, cupped his fist and said: “This is Zhou Xi Oasis, under the control of our Lan Clan. The area above the oasis is a no-fly zone. We request that you descend immediately! If you wish to enter the oasis, we have relevant gu masters to receive foreign guests. You only need to follow the procedure and meet the relevant standards to enter the oasis.”
Fang Yuan was still looking at the oasis, continuously scouting with his gu.
He was checking if there were any immortal gu masters hidden in the oasis. Only immortal gu masters could pose a threat to him.
Under normal circumstances, such a small oasis with modest power should not have any immortal gu masters. If there were, they would have already expanded or transformed the oasis.
After the leader finished speaking, seeing that Fang Yuan was unmoved, he couldn’t help but frown and said coldly: “Did you hear me? The sky above the oasis is forbidden to fly. This is common knowledge in the Western Desert. Flying over the Lan Clan’s head can be seen as a provocation! I hope you descend immediately, or else don’t blame us…”
Bang.
Before the leader could finish his words, Fang Yuan flicked his little finger and emitted an attack of the fifth level.
The third-level leader couldn’t react at all and exploded into blood foam and flesh, scattering everywhere.
“Ah!!”
“Elder!”
The remaining second-level gu masters were shocked for a moment before letting out piercing screams.
At this moment, unparalleled terror filled their hearts. The usually highly revered elder was killed in one blow without even a chance to react.
This attack was too fast and too sudden; the second-level gu masters hadn’t even seen clearly what killed the leader.
“The elder is dead, killed in an instant!”
“Retreat quickly! This person is not someone we can deal with!”
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!”
The second-level gu masters shouted loudly, scattered in the air, and flew rapidly towards the oasis.
Fang Yuan snorted coldly and waved his hand lightly.
Bang bang bang…
Amidst the continuous explosions, these second-level gu masters all exploded into pieces of flesh without exception. Even their sand gull mounts did not survive.
The sound of a deafening alarm echoed in the oasis.
Everything that happened in mid-air had already been seen by the stationed gu masters.
Looking down from his high position, Fang Yuan saw the mortals in a panic, running about, the once bustling market thrown into chaos. A large number of mortal gu masters emerged from buildings, looking up to the sky, glaring at him with hostility.
“Truly, all beings are like ants.” Fang Yuan let out a breath of foul air, then activated his hair armor, and the Light Void Bat Wings on his back flashed once, and he charged towards the oasis like a meteor.
“He’s coming! Fire!!”
“Be careful! The enemy is very strong, at least a fourth-level gu master! Very likely a fifth-level gu master!”
“No matter how strong he is! He’s just one person! Fire!”
The Lan Clan gu masters in the oasis roared in anger and launched a vigorous assault like fireworks.
But Fang Yuan’s charge did not slow down; he easily broke through the blocking firepower and directly crashed into the Patriarch Pavilion in the center of the oasis.
Boom!
The loud noise was deafening, the huge impact made the ground tremble. The Patriarch Pavilion was also defended by gu, but it was useless; it was completely collapsed in an instant. Earth and stones flew, bricks and tiles scattered, air waves rolled, raising a towering cloud of dust.
As the dust gradually cleared, Fang Yuan’s tall figure and eight strange arms were revealed before the Lan Clan gu masters.
“He, he’s not dead!”
“Damn it! The Patriarch Pavilion has been crashed by him! The ancestral tablets are all inside!”
“Kill, kill this monster!!”
The crowd was aroused and surrounded Fang Yuan.
“Shut up, all of you!” Suddenly an old man shouted loudly and stepped forward from the crowd.
“Patriarch!” The people around bowed to the old man.
The old patriarch was terrified; no one understood the defensive power of the Patriarch Pavilion better than him. The Patriarch Pavilion was the central hub of a family, with deep defenses, even if ten old patriarchs joined forces, they might not be able to break through.
