Chapter 222 Two demons fighting

King Changping looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and his heart tightened.

Could it be that this person knew him? Recognized his identity?

Then who is this young man? Is he from the court or from other forces?

King Changping's heartbeat accelerated, and he tried his best to stay calm so as not to reveal his true colors in front of the young man.

His eyes were fixed on this young man, trying to find any possible clues from his expression and behavior.

This young man gave him an extraordinary feeling, his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts.

King Changping's heart was full of doubts and vigilance. The sudden expression of sudden enlightenment shown by the young man in front of him made him doubt whether the other party recognized his identity.

He began to quickly calculate various possibilities in his mind.

Who is this young man?

Where did he come from?

What is his purpose?

King Changping's thoughts flew, and many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

But no matter what, he must recover as soon as possible, otherwise he will die if he delays any longer!

"Haha, of course I am someone who wants your life!"

Before he finished speaking, Fang Yue launched another attack.

The heartbeat of King Changping was as rapid as a drum. Facing the sudden attack of the young man in front of him, he had almost no time to react.

At that moment, he thought that this person might be a master sent by the court to intercept him. Those who come with bad intentions will not come!

The body of King Changping had not fully recovered, and it was even worse at this moment.

However, he knew that he must not fall down at this moment, otherwise his life would be in danger.

He took a deep breath and retreated quickly, trying to distance himself from the young man, while concentrating his internal strength to prepare for a counterattack.

The murderous intent in the eyes of this young man named Fang Yue made King Changping feel a palpitation.

His attack was swift and fierce, and every move was aimed at the vital point, obviously wanting to kill King Changping.

King Changping cursed in his heart, if he had not been injured. The young man in front of him was indeed strong, but he was not taken seriously by him.

But at this moment, he was seriously injured, and he could only exert less than 50% of his strength.

This was a punk who was not as good as him, who took advantage of him. How hateful!

But now, he had to go all out to deal with the crisis in front of him. He used all his internal strength and swung a palm, colliding fiercely with Fang Yue's attack.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the two were each knocked back several steps.

Prince Changping felt his arm numb, while Fang Yue stood firmly on his feet, with more murderous intent in his eyes.

Prince Changping's heart sank, he knew that his current situation was extremely unfavorable.

Although Fang Yue's strength was not as good as his heyday, in the eyes of Prince Changping at this moment, he was like an insurmountable mountain.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his panic.

He knew that he could not just sit there and wait for death, and he had to find a way to reverse the situation.

Prince Changping glanced around, trying to find a chance to escape.

However, Fang Yue seemed to see through his intentions, and he moved and attacked him again.

Changping Wang smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that he had no way to retreat. At this moment, he could only fight Fang Yue with all his strength.

He used all his internal strength and swung a palm to attack Fang Yue. He poured all his strength into this palm, hoping to cause some trouble to Fang Yue.

However, Fang Yue's strength exceeded his expectations. Fang Yue just swung lightly and dissolved his attack, and at the same time, he hit him hard in the chest with a heavy punch.

"Puff!"

Changping Wang spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. He fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if his internal organs were shattered.

He struggled to stand up, but found that he had no strength left. He looked up at Fang Yue, only to see that the other party was walking towards him step by step, with more murderous intent in his eyes.

Changping Wang was filled with despair, and he knew that he was powerless to save the situation. He closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

However, just when he was about to give up, a figure suddenly rushed over from a distance.

"Show mercy, you can't kill him!"

This voice was like the sound of nature to King Changping.

King Changping had already closed his eyes in despair, waiting for death to come, but this sudden shout rekindled his hope.

He struggled to open his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound source. A middle-aged man in a black robe was approaching quickly.

King Changping's mood experienced a huge change from despair to shock in an instant.

With this black-robed worshiper speaking out to stop him, the young master of the court who intercepted him should not dare to kill him!

Does he have a chance to survive?

Thinking so in his heart, but the next moment, King Changping only felt a huge force coming, and then there was darkness in front of his eyes, and he completely lost his voice.

~~~~~~~

"Who are you? How dare you disobey my order? You killed him, you deserve to die!" The black-robed man had many things to say to the King of Changping.

The black-robed man stared at the young man in front of him, Fang Yue, with a sharp gaze. His tone was full of majesty and anger, as if Fang Yue's behavior had violated his bottom line.

Fang Yue was unmoved. He glanced at the black-robed man and said coldly, "Who are you? Why do you order me? This Changping King has committed many evil deeds. I killed him to enforce justice."

The black-robed man was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so bold and reckless. He not only killed Changping King, but also dared to talk to him so confidently.

"I am a tribute to the court. You killed an important official of the court, which means you are an enemy of the court. Do you know what this means?" The black-robed man said in a deep voice, trying to suppress Fang Yue with his identity.

However, Fang Yue just sneered and said, "A tribute to the court? So what? I kill people without asking about their identities. He deserves to die, so I will kill him."

The black-robed man was furious at Fang Yue's arrogant attitude. When has he ever met someone who doesn't take him seriously?

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said three good words in a row, "Since you are so ignorant of life and death, I will help you!"

After that, the black-robed man moved and attacked Fang Yue. He was very fast and came to Fang Yue in an instant, punching Fang Yue in the chest.

Fang Yue was prepared. He dodged the attack of the black-robed man with a flash.

But he did not fight back, but just left.

The black-robed man was very powerful, which brought him a sense of crisis.

This man's cultivation level is probably beyond the innate. He is also a tribute to the court, so he should also be a shapeshifter.

Although the black-robed man also looked injured, it was obvious that the injury was not too serious, and he could still burst out most of his strength.

If he really fought, he might not be his opponent.

So Fang Yue ran away directly.

Anyway, he had just plundered the King of Changping, so it was not a loss.

The black-robed man saw Fang Yue turn around and run away, and did not chase him immediately. It's not that he didn't want to chase, but his physical injuries prevented him from chasing at full speed. He could only watch Fang Yue's figure gradually disappear from his sight.

"Damn kid, how dare you be so arrogant!" The black-robed man gritted his teeth and said, the anger in his heart was hard to calm down.

He knew that Fang Yue could kill the rebel King Changping so easily, and his strength must be strong.

Moreover, Fang Yue's attitude also made him feel very difficult. This kid is not only powerful, but also ruthless, and does not play by the rules at all.

The black-robed man took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger.

He knew that the most important thing now was to deal with the body of King Changping and see if that thing was still there!

The black-robed man squatted down and checked the body of King Changping.

His eyes carefully searched the body of King Changping, trying to find the important thing.

However, after a search, he found that the thing had disappeared.

"Damn it!"

The black-robed man cursed secretly, and his anger was even stronger.

He knew that the loss of this thing was a huge blow to him, and it might even affect his position in the court.

The black-robed man raised his head and looked in the direction where Fang Yue disappeared, with cold murderous intent in his eyes.

He knew that Fang Yue not only killed the King of Changping, but also took away the important thing, which made his hatred for Fang Yue reach its peak.

"Boy, do you think you can escape from my palm? I will let you know the fate of offending my court offering!" The black-robed man gritted his teeth and said.

However, Fang Yue did not know what the black-robed man was thinking. He was far away from the battlefield at this moment and was trying his best to escape.

He was very fast, and his figure shuttled through the woods like a ghost.

Fang Yue knew that although he had killed the King of Changping, he had also caused big trouble.

The black-robed man's strength was unfathomable, and he was also an offering of the court. Once he was caught up by him, he was afraid that he would be in danger.

So, he had to escape from here as soon as possible and stay away from this place of right and wrong.

As for the thing, he didn't know what it was, but since it was found from the body of the King of Changping, it must not be an ordinary item.

As Fang Yue fled, he was thinking about the next plan in his mind.

~~~~~~~

Three days later, Fang Yue came to a county town under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou Prefecture.

When he entered the county town, the first thing Fang Yue felt was the bustling atmosphere. On both sides of the street, there were shops lined up, with a wide variety of goods, attracting many citizens to stop and buy.

The hawkers' cries and the pedestrians' laughter intertwined, forming a vivid picture of life.

I didn't expect that this place was next to Guangfeng Prefecture.

The war in Guangfeng Prefecture continued, and the tense atmosphere in the entire prefecture condensed to the extreme.

But the neighboring Liangzhou Prefecture seemed to be unaffected at all, and it was still very lively, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

But it was normal to think about it. The Dali Dynasty had a vast territory and many prefectures.

Except for the vicinity of the capital, the prefectures were often thousands of miles apart.

Adjacent prefectures like Guangfeng and Liangzhou are relatively close.

But even so, in the case of inconvenient transportation in ancient times, the mutual influence between adjacent prefectures was actually quite limited.

Not to mention, although Guangfeng was in a state of war, with various rebel kings rebelling and the imperial army suppressing the rebellion, the real battlefield was actually mainly concentrated in Guangfeng.

Neighboring prefectures like Liangzhou were not affected too much.

Of course, Liangzhou Prefecture must have also strengthened its vigilance to prevent the war in Guangfeng Prefecture from spreading here.

Fang Yue walked on the street, feeling the prosperity and bustle of this county town.

He looked around and finally stopped in front of a hotel called "Yuelai Inn".

This inn looks quite impressive, and there are guests coming in and out in an endless stream. It is obviously a very famous inn in the county town.

Fang Yue walked in, and immediately a waiter came up to greet him and said warmly: "Sir, please come in! Are you staying overnight or staying in the hotel?"

"Stay in the hotel." Fang Yue said lightly, and handed over a silver ingot, "Arrange a room for me."

The waiter took the silver, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his attitude became more attentive: "Okay, sir, please come this way! I will arrange the best room for you right away!"

As he said, the waiter led Fang Yue into the inn. Fang Yue followed him, observing the environment in the inn calmly.

The decoration of this inn is indeed quite luxurious, whether it is the lobby or the corridor, it reveals a sense of wealth.

Soon, the waiter took Fang Yue to an upper room, opened the door, and said respectfully: "Sir, please come in! This upper room is one of the best rooms in our inn, and you are guaranteed to stay comfortably."

Fang Yue nodded and walked into the room. The room was decorated very elegantly, the bed was soft and comfortable, and it looked like an upper room.

"Sir, if you have any other needs, just tell me, I'll be waiting downstairs." The waiter said.

"Send a bucket of hot water up." Fang Yue said. He planned to take a shower, change clothes, and have a good rest.

In the next few days, Fang Yue stayed in Yuelai Inn. He was not in a hurry to leave the county, but chose to settle down here temporarily.

He knew that he had caused a big trouble, and the man in black robe would never give up.

Therefore, he needed time to deal with some things, and also needed time to recover from his injuries.

He had fought with the thirty-six pseudo-innates before, and then fought with the King of Changping.

Although Fang Yue won easily, he was actually seriously injured.

Soon, several days passed.

Fang Yue's injuries were basically recovered.

At this time, he took out the item he had searched from the King of Changping.

This was a brocade box, bordered with gold wire, and it was obvious that it was an extraordinary item.

Fang Yue opened the brocade box and saw a jade pendant lying inside. The jade pendant was green all over, as if it contained endless vitality.

He picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. The texture and carving of this jade pendant are both top-notch, and it is obviously not an ordinary item.

Moreover, there is a lifelike dragon carved on the jade pendant, with a coiled dragon body and bright eyes, as if it will break through the wall at any time.

Fang Yue's heart moved, could this jade pendant be a token?

Or some treasure?

He secretly speculated that this jade pendant might be a symbol of the identity of the King of Changping, or the key to his control of some kind of power.

No matter which one it is, it is a hot potato.

However, since it has fallen into his hands, there is absolutely no possibility of handing it over easily.

After staying in Yuelai Inn for a few more days, Fang Yue felt that his injuries had recovered almost completely, so he decided to continue his journey.

He knew that he could not stay in one place for too long, otherwise it would be easy to expose his whereabouts.

Before leaving the county, Fang Yue went to the market on purpose to purchase some dry food and daily necessities.

He did not like to stop on the road for trivial matters, so he always made preparations in advance.

After the purchase, Fang Yue left the county and headed for the next destination. His whereabouts were erratic, like a gust of wind, shuttling through every corner of Liangzhou Prefecture.

During this period, he also encountered some troubles.

After all, in this era, travelers walking alone are always easy to become the target of bandits and robbers.

But Fang Yue's strength is there, and these small troubles are not worth mentioning to him at all.

In this way, Fang Yue wandered in Liangzhou Prefecture for several months.

He did not have a clear destination, but just followed his heart and went wherever he wanted.

On this day, Fang Yue came to a small town.

This town is located on the edge of Liangzhou Prefecture, nestling with the surrounding mountains.

Most of the residents in the town make a living by hunting and collecting herbs. Although their lives are hard, they are also happy.

As soon as Fang Yue stepped into the town, he felt the unique atmosphere here. Although the people in the town were dressed simply, their faces were filled with sincere and warm smiles.

They greeted each other and talked, revealing a kind of simplicity and harmony.

Walking on the streets of the town, Fang Yue couldn't help but slow down. He found that he actually enjoyed this quiet and ordinary life.

This period of wandering allowed him to see all kinds of customs and made him cherish this simple and pure lifestyle more.

The simple life also made the vital energy in Fang Yue's body more lively.

His mastery of martial arts has actually reached a new level.

After months of wandering and training, Fang Yue not only gained strength, but also had a subtle change in his mentality.

He gradually understood that the pursuit of martial arts is not only about improving strength, but also about inner cultivation and understanding of life.

That evening, Fang Yue sat in a teahouse in the town, sipping rough tea and listening to the hunters around him telling about their adventures and interesting stories in the mountains.

Their stories were full of love for life and awe for nature, which made Fang Yue feel an unprecedented peace and satisfaction.

The owner of the teahouse was a passionate middle-aged man. Seeing Fang Yue listening attentively, he came over and said, "Sir, your accent doesn't sound like a local. Where are you from?"

Fang Yue smiled slightly and made up a story: "I came from the south and traveled all the way here."

The boss' eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said excitedly: "Oh, it's rare to see guests from the south! Although our place is remote, the local customs and customs are unique. If you are interested, you might as well stay for a few more days and experience it."

Fang Yue nodded in agreement. He really didn't plan to leave the town in a hurry. The tranquility and harmony here made him feel comfortable and at ease.

Moreover, the flow of vitality in his body became more and more lively, and it seemed that he could break through to a new realm at any time.

In the following days, Fang Yue simply rented a small house in the town to live.

He strolled around the town during the day, exchanging martial arts and hunting experience with hunters; at night he returned to the cabin to practice martial arts and comprehend the way of nature.

Although such a life was dull, it made Fang Yue feel unprecedented fulfillment and satisfaction.

His state of mind became more peaceful and tranquil, and his understanding of martial arts became deeper.

Unknowingly, Fang Yue spent a whole month in the town.

That morning, he strolled around the town as usual, and suddenly felt a strong breath coming from the distant mountains.

This breath was powerful and mysterious, which made Fang Yue feel a palpitation. He knew that this was the breath fluctuation of a master nearby.

Fang Yue's heart moved. Could there be any hidden masters or treasures here?

He was curious and decided to go and explore.

At that moment, he said goodbye to the teahouse owner and hunters, carried his bag and headed deep into the mountains.

As he went deeper, the breath fluctuation became stronger and stronger, as if guiding the direction of his progress.

Fang Yue crossed the jungle and crossed the mountains, chasing the fluctuation of the mysterious breath all the way. His heart was full of anticipation and curiosity, not knowing what was waiting for him ahead.

After half a day's trek, Fang Yue finally came to a hidden valley deep in the mountains. The environment here is quiet, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, just like a paradise.

And the mysterious breath fluctuations are emitted from this valley.

Fang Yue concealed his figure, quietly approached the valley entrance, hid in a dense bush, and observed the movements of the two monsters.

I saw these two monsters, one was a giant rhino with a black body and a single horn, and the other was a flying tiger with a snow-white body and wings spread.

They each occupied one side of the valley and confronted each other, obviously competing for the ownership of this territory.

The giant rhino's horn flashed with cold light, it roared, and rushed towards the flying tiger. The flying tiger flapped its wings, jumped lightly, and avoided the attack of the giant rhino.

The two started a fierce battle in the valley, roaring and amazing.

Fang Yue held his breath, his eyes were like torches, and he closely followed this shocking battle.

The giant rhino's horn was like a sharp blade, and every swing brought a sound of wind, as if it could tear the air. The flying tiger, relying on the advantage of its wings, flexibly flew in the air, constantly avoiding the giant rhino's attacks, and looking for opportunities to counterattack.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, and the two moved faster and faster, and their strength became stronger and stronger.

The giant rhino's horn cut deep grooves on the ground, and the flying tiger's claws left a trail of afterimages in the air.

Suddenly, the flying tiger flew down from the sky, with its wings converged, like a sharp arrow shooting at the giant rhino.

The giant rhino did not show weakness, and its horn met it, and the two collided in the air, making a deafening sound.

The force of the collision made the surrounding air vibrate, and Fang Yue felt a strong wave of air coming towards him.
