Chapter Twenty: Activating the Refining Pavilion

  "Escaped!" Wang Yanran insisted on escaping, and Fu Qingxuan couldn't stop her at all. Moreover, she was injured, and it was already a miracle that she could hold off the opponent for now.

  "They've escaped this time, but next time they meet will be their demise." Fang Yan said in a low voice as he flashed out of the valley like lightning.

  Now what needs to be done is to slaughter these two third-level peak Blood Blade Mantises.

  Gao Jin and Wang Yanran have escaped, but there are still two Blood Blade Mantis that haven't been dealt with. As long as they escape, these Blood Blade Mantis will relentlessly pursue and kill them without end.

  Although the Blood Blade Mantis was formidable, after the intense battle before, they had all suffered some injuries. With Fu Qingxue's help, killing them wouldn't be a difficult task.

  "Xuan sister, do you still have the strength for another battle? If we don't take care of these two big guys, we won't have a peaceful day in the future." Fang Yan rushed out of the valley, and the Blood Blade Mantis followed closely behind. Stimulated by the bloody smell in the valley, the Blood Blade Mantis became even more ferocious, flapping its wings and jumping up to block Fang Yan's path.

  "I had taken the Wound Healing Pill earlier and recovered a bit of my strength, so I should be able to kill these two beasts." Fu Qingxuan was a peerless beauty, her sword dancing and fluttering in her hand as she wielded it with an ethereal charm that seemed to point to the stars.

  "Next, I'll take the lead and you assist. Let's take down one first, it will be much easier with only one left." Fang Yan smiled faintly, then launched a Mountain-Crushing Fist at the incoming blade.

  If Fu Qingxuan didn't have the strength of a single battle, they would only have the fate of fleeing.

  "Fang Shao, Miss Fu, I'll lend you a hand." Tao Hui suddenly darted out from his hiding spot and struck at the Blood Blade Stag Beetle with his sword.

  Three dozen two, Fang Yan and their winning odds have increased a lot again.

  The Water Shadow Sword was unleashed, and Fang Yan easily handled the Blood Blade Mantis. With the momentum of the Collapsing Mountain Fist, he suppressed one of the Blood Blade Mantises. On the other hand, Tao Hui and Fu Qingxuan also managed to hold off one of the Blood Blade Mantises. Fu Qingxuan's swordsmanship was agile, each strike hitting its weak points, and after a round of attacks, the Blood Blade Mantis was covered in wounds, making it not difficult to kill it at all.

  The fact is just as imagined, Fang Yan's combat power is astonishing, and he single-handedly beheaded a Blood Blade Mantis. This may have something to do with the weakness of this Blood Blade Mantis being severely injured. Fang Yan ended the battle, and Fu Qingxuan's side also approached its end.

  "Hmph." Fang Yan's Water Shadow Sword was unleashed, creating a water screen. The sword weakly danced like a dragon, one stab, one lift, and in an instant, a gruesome triangular skull was lifted into the air.

  "Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully killing the enemy and leveling up. You have received 12 points of merit value as a reward." The cold system prompt sounded again, and Fang Yan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

  "You've changed, are you still the Fang Yan I know?" After the battle ended, the three of them let out a long sigh of relief. Then, Fu Qingxuan's beautiful eyes narrowed and she stared tightly at Fang Yan, asking.

  "What are you talking about? I'm not the Fang Yan you know. Who am I?" Fang Yan's heart skipped a beat at Fu Qingxuan's question.

  "You've become stronger, and it's made you a bit harder for me to see through." Fu Qingxuan lightly opened her lips, exuding a unique charm.

  "It's gotten stronger, which is a good thing. Although you don't say it, aren't you all waiting for me to become stronger? Fang Yan was somewhat distracted, thinking about his past. This guy had problems with his innate talent and his results in cultivating the Tao were always unsatisfactory. Even with the numerous resources of the Fang family, he was only slightly better than an ordinary person, especially when compared to Fu Qingxuan, making him seem like a total waste. This made Fang Yan feel inferior when facing Fu Qingxuan, a heavenly genius, and so he deliberately kept his distance."

  Fang Yan's talent was somewhat inferior, but he was willing to work hard and diligently make up for his shortcomings. The Fang family's top-notch martial arts technique, the Mountain-Crushing Fist, was actually cultivated by him to a state of perfection. Without Fang Yan's hard work and dedication, there would not be the current Fang Yan.

  "You're still so stubborn, wanting to show off your strength." Fu Qingxuan said with a hint of helplessness as she saw Fang Yan's obstinate gaze.

  "Oh, right, you weren't with Wang Yanran and the others, so why did the news of your miserable death suddenly spread. And Wang Yanran and Gao Jin, as soon as they saw me, they took action to pursue and kill the young masters of my family."

  "This is a long story... Fang Yan saw Fu Qingxuan ask, and he told her in detail about how Gao Jin and Wang Yanran designed to kill him."

  "I knew it! That slut Wang Yanran, why would she be so friendly with you for no reason? It turns out she wanted to control you to the death. They're really ruthless, fortunately you're fine, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to your father." Fu Qingxuan listened to Fang Yan's account, her beautiful eyes flashing a hint of murderous intent, coldly said.

  "Oh, right, Xiang Jie, I remember Father didn't allow you to enter this Sword Grave trial space, how did you end up here?" Fang Yan asked Fu Qian Xiang.

  "It's not because of you, you sneaked into the Sword Grave trial space, your adoptive father was worried about your safety, so he let me in to protect you." Seeing Fang Yan ask, Fu Qingxuan flashed a hint of displeasure.

  "Never mind, Xuan sister. The Sword Grave trial still has almost a month left before it ends. What are your plans?" Fang Yan said, seeing Fu Qingxuan's melancholic gaze, and hastily stopped talking.

  "Now we all have wounds on our bodies, let's heal the wounds on our bodies first, and then gather the Fang family children in the Sword Grave space. Since the two royal families want to tear us apart and bring us to death, we don't need to be merciful to the enemy, just kill him until not a single piece of armor is left." Fu Qingxuan said.

  "I also had this intention, if there is an opportunity, we must catch all the young sons of the Gao and Wang families." Tan said, a shocking aura emanated from Fang Yan's body.

  "This Fang Yan has really changed, his former temperament was somewhat weak, now it's become strong, it seems that this trial in the Sword Grave space had a huge impact on him!" Looking at Fang Yan's change, one could say he's like two different people, Fu Qingxuan nodded in agreement.

  "This is the spoils of war, especially these two third-grade Blood Blade Stag Beetles, which can be used to refine two decent spiritual swords and knives." Tao Hui, a member of the Tao family, an affiliated family of the Fang family, took advantage of the conversation between Fang Yan and Fu Qingxuan to sweep the battlefield in the valley. In addition to holding the four sharp forelimbs of the Blood Blade Stag Beetles, he also had two large packages on his waist, which were the spoils of war left behind by the disciples of the two royal families after they died.

  "Tao brother, take off the backpack on your back and let me see if there are any of the various herbs I need." Fang Yan said calmly.

  Fang Yan took the cloth package handed over by Tao Hui, and all the medicinal materials inside were collected by him. What Fang Yan valued most was these first- and second-grade spiritual grasses, which would be his cultivation points in the future.

  "Ding! Found fourth-grade refining material, Blood Blade Mantis forelimb, meets the activation conditions for the Refining Pavilion. Host, do you want to activate it or exchange it for something of equivalent value?" Just as Fang Yan touched the sharp forelimb of the Blood Blade Mantis, the cold system prompt sounded in his mind.
