Chapter 827: 431 Upgrade_3
The young man with thick eyebrows collapsed on the ground, screaming in terror.
Seeing this, Hobgoblin suddenly restrained his anger, and the earthquake stopped immediately.
Fang Zhixing laughed, “Of course, there’s another possibility. A powerful adversary killed Ge Rongxing, and you fear them, so you fled here to seek shelter from the Ancient Emperor.”
Hobgoblin coldly snorted, “I’ll give you one minute to explain your intentions.”
Fang Zhixing immediately said, “You’re afraid of that person; I can help you kill them, even if they’re one of the Seven Emperors! In exchange, you need to do me a small favor.”
Hearing this, Hobgoblin mocked him with laughter, “What kind of person are you? If I fear them, what capability do you have to kill them?”
Fang Zhixing remained calm and smiled, “Why not give it a try? You have nothing to lose, right? Or do you plan to hide like a coward all your life?”
“…”
Hobgoblin’s chest heaved furiously as his anger erupted, but after a while, he calmed down and solemnly asked, “Make it straightforward. What do you want?”
Fang Zhixing immediately replied, “Simply put, I need to see the transformation of three Dharma Image Realm experts and a bucket of blood from a Dharma Image Realm master.”
Hobgoblin instantly jumped in rage, roaring, “Simply? You have guts! You actually want my blood and a whole bucket of it?”
Fang Zhixing curled his lips and said, “I don’t want your blood. You’re not at the peak of the Dharma Image Realm; you’re not qualified.”
“…”
Hobgoblin was utterly speechless, his face twitching as he said, “You don’t want my blood, so do you think I have peak-level Dharma Image blood to give you?”
Fang Zhixing responded, “The Ancient Emperor should have some in stock; give it a try.”
Hobgoblin waved his hand and said, “Kill the person first, and then I’ll get it for you.”
Fang Zhixing firmly said, “Without these things, I can’t help you kill anyone, understand?”
Hobgoblin gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said, “How can I trust you’ll keep your promise?”
Fang Zhixing spread his hands, “The Seven Emperors all want me dead. Isn’t that reason enough? For now, consider it an investment in me. Gamble big; the worst outcome is a failed investment. But if you do nothing, can you truly be at peace?”
Hobgoblin hesitated, realizing how terrifying the killer truly was, filled with grief and unwillingness.
“No way.”
After careful consideration, Hobgoblin still shook his head, sitting down in despair, “That person is too powerful. You won’t be able to kill them; you’ll lose your life for nothing. You should leave.”
Fang Zhixing raised an eyebrow, “You’re this scared; is the killer really the Human Emperor?”
Hobgoblin’s expression froze.
“Indeed!”
Fang Zhixing laughed, “I previously suspected the killer might be the Sect Hierarch of the Life Sect. But you sought refuge under the Ancient Emperor; logically, the Ancient Emperor could easily help you deal with the Life Sect Hierarch. Since it’s not him, it must be the Human Emperor backing him!”
Hobgoblin interrupted, “Even if it’s the Human Emperor, would you dare to kill them?”
Fang Zhixing confidently replied, “As long as you help me, I’ll help you take down the Human Emperor.”
Hobgoblin was stunned, unable to comprehend where this young man’s confidence came from.
Seeing this, Fang Zhixing felt it was the right moment and glanced at Xigou.
“Got it!”
Xigou understood instantly and swiftly created multiple Shadow Clones.
Eighteen Xigous suddenly appeared, lined in formation, a spectacular sight!
In that moment, they all snarled, unleashing the supreme terrifying power of Ninth Level Mutant Beasts, shaking the skies and the earth, dreadfully frightening.
“This…”
Hobgoblin turned pale with horror, his scalp tingling.
Eighteen Ninth Level Mutant Beasts could kill him and even annihilate this Giant City in the blink of an eye.
Fang Zhixing laughed, “Well, do you still think I’m just bragging?”
Gulp~
Hobgoblin swallowed, suppressing his wildly beating heart. He bowed his head with awe and said respectfully, “If I still refuse, it’d be unwise of me.”
Saying this, he turned to look at the young man with thick eyebrows and other fishermen, his gaze becoming icy.
Since he chose to cooperate with Fang Zhixing, these witnesses must be silenced, none can remain.
“Let me handle it.”
Suddenly, Fang Zhixing stepped forward to the young man with thick eyebrows, reaching out to touch his forehead.
The young man with thick eyebrows immediately fell asleep.
The same happened to all the other fishermen present.
Seeing this, Hobgoblin was shocked, “What a skillful technique, you erased their memories?”
“Indeed!”
Fang Zhixing nodded and smiled, “They won’t remember us meeting.”
Hobgoblin wasn’t skilled in this area, but he knew only those with profound spiritual prowess could manipulate others’ memories.
“Follow me.”
Hobgoblin soared into the air, leading the way.
Fang Zhixing easily kept up and asked, “Why did the Human Emperor want to kill Ge Rongxing?”
Hobgoblin sighed and recounted, “The Human Emperor is the pride of our human race. He has mastered the Law of Heaven and Earth, his combat strength on par with the other six Emperor Level Mechanical Gods. Who doesn’t admire him?
I and old Ge always looked up to the Human Emperor as an idol; Ge was even an ardent fan, which led him to join the Life Sect.
Later, both of us reached the Dharma Image Realm, thinking we could match the Human Emperor, happily anticipating.
But we never expected the huge disparity in strength between Dharma Image Realm masters.
Even together, old Ge and I couldn’t defeat the Life Sect Hierarch, who claimed he couldn’t withstand even a single move from the Human Emperor.”
Fang Zhixing exclaimed in surprise, “You’re Early Stage in the Dharma Image Realm?”
Hobgoblin immediately replied, “Indeed, my potential is limited; I can’t advance further.
However, strictly speaking, the Dharma Image Realm doesn’t really have early, mid, late, or peak stages.
Once you enter the Dharma Image Realm, everyone is as tall as a giant, with immeasurable strength.”
