"Ninth on the Heavenly Ranking, the Iron Cudgel God Marquis." The short old man holding an iron cudgel looked at Fang Xiu without glancing to the side.
"Seventh on the Heavenly Ranking, Chi Lian..." The alluring woman holding a long whip was about to introduce herself when Fang Xiu interrupted her.
"I have no interest in knowing the names of dead people."
The five men's expressions turned slightly cold. The white-haired elder at the head of the group said in a deep voice, "May I ask your esteemed name?"
"Dead men have no need to know my name." Fang Xiu said calmly, not taking the five people in front of him seriously at all.
The burly man wielding the meteor hammer laughed in fury: "How incredibly arrogant! He doesn't even put us Grandmasters on the Heavenly Ranking in the slightest. With you all backing me up, today I'll see what gives him the right to be so arrogant!"
The burly man with the meteor hammer stepped forward first, clearly intending to fight Fang Xiu one-on-one. As a fourth-stage Ascensionist with a body comparable to an immortal, he was no fool. He had already received intelligence before coming, knowing that Fang Xiu had slaughtered the entire Savage Royal Court by relying on the power of the Taotie statue. Originally, the group was discussing how to trick him into leaving the statue, but they did not expect that he would come out on his own.
He knew that Fang Xiu must have something to rely on, but judging from the strength of his physical body, he was only at the level of a fourth-stage Ascension cultivator, and his aura was even unstable, indicating that he had only recently ascended.
If he didn't dare to go up against someone who had just undergone four ascensions and had four grandmasters by his side, it would be unreasonable.
Furthermore, no one who has reached this level of strength would lack self-confidence. You have your trump cards, and so do I!
Looking at the burly men who stepped forward, Fang Xiu frowned slightly: "Is it necessary to waste so much time? You can all come at me together."
"You bastard!" The burly man with the meteor hammer felt insulted. He raised his meteor hammer high and charged at Fang Xiu at lightning speed. Although he was burly, his speed was not slow at all, and he left afterimages in the air.
The meteor hammer, weighing as much as ten thousand pounds, truly resembled a meteor streaking across the sky, accompanied by a loud whooshing sound, as it slammed down fiercely towards Fang Xiu's head.
Just then, Fang Xiu slowly raised his left hand. From an angle unseen by the crowd, the Taotie's mouth suddenly opened, like a black hole in the palm of his hand, swallowing up all the powerful force of the meteor hammer the moment it struck.
Bang!
The meteor hammer, which weighed as much as ten thousand pounds, was caught by him as lightly as a toy.
"What!?" The burly man was shocked. He was known for his strength, and even other Grandmasters on the Heavenly Ranking could not easily withstand his full-force attack. But now, Fang Xiu had taken it lightly. The strong sense of impact made him feel somewhat unreal.
Meeting the burly man's shocked gaze, Fang Xiu said calmly, "What a weak and feeble attack. Who do you think this kind of attack could kill? Yourself?"
"Damn it!" The burly man roared in fury, his veins bulging as he frantically channeled his strength, trying to wrest the hammer from Fang Xiu's hand and smash him to death. But no matter how much force the burly man exerted, the hammer in Fang Xiu's hand remained completely still!
Because all the force transmitted to the hammer was completely devoured by the Taotie Maw, this is the powerful ability brought by the five Taotie Decrees. The Taotie Maw is no longer what it used to be; it can even devour time, let alone force.
However, due to the lack of spirituality, it can only use the Taotie Maw as a means of hand-to-hand combat. It is foreseeable that once it leaves the Taotie Divine Kingdom and regains its spirituality, the Taotie Maw will unleash terrifying power. Only then will it truly be able to devour the heavens and the earth and devour all things!
The burly man panicked and quickly raised his other hammer, intending to attack Fang Xiu, but Fang Xiu didn't give him the chance.
He grabbed the meteor hammer with one hand, unleashing the immense force that the Taotie's maw had just swallowed, and with a sudden upward lift, he lifted himself and the hammer together.
It should be noted that the power he is currently wielding is not only from the power he gained by devouring the strong man, but also from his own original power.
After undergoing one sublimation, his physical strength was comparable to that of an immortal, putting him on the same level as these four sublimators. In fact, because he had just sublimated, he was slightly inferior to the five of them. However, with the support of two powers, he far surpassed anyone present.
At this moment, Fang Xiu slammed his fist into the ground.
Bang!!!
The burly man was slammed heavily to the ground, and huge cracks spread wildly like a spider web. The ground continued to collapse, eventually creating a crater several meters deep.
Upon seeing this, the other four masters looked solemn.
The white-haired old man at the head of the group shouted in a low voice, "Kill him!"
Immediately, the four attacked Fang Xiu from four different directions.
Just as the four men were drawing Fang Xiu's attention, the burly man who had been thrown into the deep pit revealed a vicious expression and suddenly pressed a small switch on the bottom of the meteor hammer.
Click!
A delicate metal cylinder suddenly extended from the top of the meteor hammer held in Fang Xiu's hand, hissing!
A purplish-black poisonous gas erupted from it, covering Fang Xiu's entire body with lightning speed.
"Oh no, it's the Heavenly Devastation Poison!"
The other four who rushed over retreated rapidly, avoiding the area covered by the poison gas, while the burly man also took the opportunity to escape.
The group glared at him angrily.
"Hey Ge, aren't you afraid of accidentally harming us by suddenly using the Heavenly Grief Poison, which ranks third among the Ten Great Poisons?"
The burly man sneered: "If it weren't for that, how could I defeat him in one move?"
The woman with the long whip suddenly sneered, "No wonder you were able to defeat the fifth-ranked Mother and Child Swords, you must have used the Heavenly Grief Poison back then, right?"
The burly man remained unmoved, instead giving a vicious smile: "It's all about the victor being king and the loser being villain."
"Have you all finished chatting?" Fang Xiu's calm voice rang out from within the purplish-black poisonous fog.
The men's expressions changed instantly.
"This is impossible! Anyone poisoned by the Heavenly Sorrow Poison is doomed to die, so why are you still alive?!" The burly man's face was filled with disbelief. As the user of the poison, he knew better than anyone how terrifying the Heavenly Sorrow Poison was.
The next moment, an even more shocking scene unfolded: the purplish-black poisonous mist began to churn, and a tiny vortex seemed to form within it, drawing all the poisonous gas into it.
At this moment, Fang Xiu's unharmed figure appeared, and everyone finally saw what the small vortex was—it was Fang Xiu's mouth.
Sigh~
He absorbed all of the Heavenly Sorrow Poison into his body.
A look of satisfaction appeared on his calm face: "It tastes good, is there any more?"
The burly man: "..."
"This person is very likely immune to all poisons. We can't delay any longer. We must finish this quickly!" The white-haired old man felt a sense of foreboding as he couldn't defeat him.
The five of them joined forces again, attacking Fang Xiu from five different directions.
Facing five Ascended Level 4 cultivators whose physical strength surpassed his own and who attacked from different angles, Fang Xiu remained calm. As the group drew near, he suddenly made his move.
His fists transformed into countless fist shadows, striking the five people fiercely.
