Chapter 258 Gaining the Upper Hand

I still remember when I first met Fang Yue, he was just like her, a Houtian first-rate martial artist.

But his strength already overwhelmed her!

While she was still thinking about sprinting to the Xiantian realm with all her might, Fang Yue had already broken through to the Xiantian realm, and after beheading a veteran Xiantian realm expert, he was like a wild horse, his strength skyrocketing all the way.

The gap between them was growing wider and wider!

Now, the level of weirdness Fang Yue could fight was something she couldn't even help with!

"Go find Lord Han. They said that Lord Han has recovered some of his strength and can still suppress the [Coffin-Pulling Weird]. Only by bringing the recovered Lord Han can we help Ye Se!"

After realizing that she couldn't help on the front line, You Sisi quickly understood what she could do.

Even if it was just a little bit, she wanted to help Fang Yue.

Rumble!!

Another thunderclap exploded.

In the [Night Rain], the two quickly headed towards Qing Si.

...

The dark rain above Fang Yue's head had already covered the entire Qing Si County, and even more dark clouds were gathering towards him.

Amidst the thunder, he blocked the iron chain's attack, pulled away, and breathed slightly.

In front of him, the [Coffin-Pulling Weird], with only its upper body of black bones and using iron chains for movement, stood in the air, looking down at him condescendingly.

There were many cracks and damage on the black bones of the [Coffin-Pulling Weird].

Some were left by the self-destruction of the North Protector, while the remaining new injuries were left by Fang Yue.

As the thunder disappeared, the iron chains of the [Coffin-Pulling Weird] attacked again and again.

But Fang Yue simply moved quickly to the side. While moving, his feet seemed to be entangled with shadows, moving quickly at a specific frequency. With the explosive increase in speed, he easily avoided the attacks.

In the past, Fang Yue would definitely not be able to avoid attacks with such speed.

But now, Fang Yue could do it easily.

Because…

"System Notification: Congratulations to player [Ye Se Li Ming] on successful cultivation. [Shadow Step] has been upgraded to the first level, Force Control increased by 100 points, and Force Dissipation increased by 100 points."

Looking further up...

"System Notification: Congratulations to player [Ye Se Li Ming] on successful cultivation. [Dark Moon Saber Art] has been upgraded to the first level, Force Control increased by 500 points."

It took a whole night to successfully cultivate the Dark Moon Saber Art.

After that, he spent the day diligently practicing and familiarizing himself with the saber technique.

As for the Shadow Step, Fang Yue had not been able to learn it because he was restricted by the narrow space of that room.

At that time, after leaving the house, he naturally learned it after rushing on the road.

Fang Yue felt that this was partly because of his high comprehension, and partly because he had already worked hard to cultivate the Shadow Step.

But he was just one step away from the threshold, unable to comprehend it for a long time.

Now that he was out of the door, galloping wildly like a wild horse, he naturally grasped the technique and successfully learned it.

With the blessing of the two martial arts, Fang Yue's attributes had been increased to...

"Force Control: 2720 [Base: 2700] [State/Buff: +20]."

"Force Dissipation: 2040 [Base: 2020] [State/Buff: +20]."

But it wasn't enough, not nearly enough!

Fang Yue had fought against the [Coffin-Pulling Weird], so he knew how terrifying its strength was and how big the gap between himself and the [Coffin-Pulling Weird] was.

So when he was about to reach the battlefield, Fang Yue directly consumed the [Horizon Pill].

With the [Horizon Pill]'s enhancement, Fang Yue truly had the ability to contend with the [Coffin-Pulling Weird]!

His potential exploded in all directions, his eyes turned black, and black blood flowed from the corners of his eyes. The familiar feeling of taking the [Ferocious Yuan Pill] surged into his heart.

In the [Weird Eye] form, Fang Yue's strength was fully improved, using the power of the Xiantian realm to fight against a Disaster-level weird!

And the area shrouded in dark clouds was a huge dark shadow area. In this environment, Fang Yue's Shadow Step speed would be maximized.

Dodging left and right, Fang Yue avoided the subsequent attacks of the other iron chains. After using the black saber to block the final iron chain attack, he quickly closed in on the [Coffin-Pulling Weird], leaped up, and a round of dark moon unfolded directly in mid-air.

In the night and dark environments, the Nightflow Mental Cultivation Technique provided a high Force Control bonus of [500] + [200]!

Combined with the Dark Moon Saber Art's 1000 Force Control points.

The power of this strike had a terrifying increase of 1700 Force Control points even before it hit the enemy!

But this amazingly powerful saber was restrained to the extreme, without making any loud noises, just a seemingly ordinary saber, containing terrifying killing intent.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Others might be confused by this saber.

But the [Coffin-Pulling Weird]'s strength was actually above Fang Yue's. It was only after Fang Yue gained multiple enhancements that he could fight it.

So the [Coffin-Pulling Weird] was able to feel the terrifying power of Fang Yue's saber at the first moment.

Without even half a second of hesitation, the [Coffin-Pulling Weird] immediately used the iron chains under its feet to retreat violently. While retreating, it did not forget to raise dozens of iron chains to block in front of it.

However, its figure quickly retreated to the limit distance where it had to drag the human bone coffin to move.

Pulled by the gravity of the human bone coffin, its speed decreased, and Fang Yue caught up and directly hit it with a saber.

Bang!!

With a loud bang, Fang Yue's two-meter-long saber, dragging the [Coffin-Pulling Weird]'s iron chains, directly and violently smashed into the [Coffin-Pulling Weird]'s body.

Zheng zheng zheng zheng zheng!

Like a welder, the long saber and the iron chains rubbed violently, bursting out with dazzling sparks.

Although it didn't cut off the iron chains, under the violent force, the iron chains were cut out with gaps, and accompanied by terrifying brute force, it directly sent the [Coffin-Pulling Weird]'s figure crashing to the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.

-77652!

After Fang Yue unleashed this saber, his figure paused in mid-air for a while, as if he was stiff from the finishing move.

After recovering, while landing, Fang Yue had already taken medicine and adjusted his breathing.

Xiantian martial arts consumed a lot of Fang Yue's energy, but its power was indeed strong.

With the support of his super high base attributes, the martial arts combined with the attributes unleashed a wave of explosive power.

In addition, the [Horizon Pill] forcibly increased his strength, giving Fang Yue the capital to face the [Coffin-Pulling Weird] head-on.

"I can fight! I can kill it!"

Feeling the surging power in his body, in the [Night Rain], Fang Yue landed and quickly chased after the [Coffin-Pulling Weird]'s landing point.

Whether it was the sacrificed North Protector and others, or Lord Han who had temporarily lost control of his power, they had all caused substantial damage to the [Coffin-Pulling Weird].

So when Fang Yue arrived, he was actually facing a weakened version of the [Coffin-Pulling Weird], which was why he had such a significant effect.

Even so, Fang Yue's current situation was only slightly ahead, with a small advantage.

This could be seen from the fact that Fang Yue had not been able to cut off the iron chains, but only cut out gaps.
