Chapter 439 Hunting in the Frozen Pool
These six words, though brief, possessed a power far greater than that of a single sword strike.
Chu Fanjiang remained silent for a long time, watching Jian Xin's figure gradually disappear into the distance.
On the stands, Fang Wuji stood up and shouted, "Xiao Chu, the sect leader told me to tell you, stop thinking about nonsense and just do it!"
After saying that, without paying attention to Chu Fanjiang's expression, Fang Wuji said, "Let's go. It seems that little Chu can't be of any help. Didn't you want to kill a demon? I'll go with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Fanjiang raised his head and quickly flew to Fang Wuji's side: "I'm going too, count me in to kill the demon."
Fang Wuji was stunned for a moment: "Stop joking, you're not in the right state right now, you should calm down first..."
“I’m very calm. Does Uncle Fang think I’m a weak person? Master said, just do it. I will continue to challenge her until I defeat her. Besides, I really want to fight right now.”
Chu Fanjiang's eyes were incredibly firm, and his tone brooked no refusal.
Ye Kang laughed and said, "Senior Brother Chu has a firm Dao heart. Uncle Fang, you underestimate him."
Fang Wuji opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more.
If Xiao Chu doesn't get this fight over, he'll probably be even more upset.
The three immediately flew out of the sect and headed straight for the border of the western island.
As Ye Kang flew, he said, "This time my target is the Azure Toad Lord of the Seventeenth Cave. Last time, he and the Little Leopard King tricked me, and I want revenge."
Chu Fanjiang nodded without any doubt.
As long as there's a fight, he's willing to fight anyone, even if it's Little Leopard King.
Fang Wuji pondered for a moment and said, "The Toad Lord resides in the Azure Cold Pool and will not come out easily. Even I, if I were to go down into the Cold Pool, would not be a match for the Toad Lord."
This is no exaggeration. Demons are adept at terrain warfare, especially aquatic demons, whose combat power is on a completely different level compared to those on land.
Furthermore, Biyutan is Toad King's home turf, which he has cultivated for many years. Fighting in someone else's home is just asking for trouble.
"Moreover, the Toad King himself is not the problem. The key is that next to him are the Five-Eyed Deer King of Cave Twenty and the Red-Eyed Bear King of Cave Sixteen, plus that mad dog. In a short time, these four beasts can gather together."
Fang Wuji knew Xidao best, so he said with a solemn expression, "The sect leader said that from now on, we can hunt down demon kings at will and teach these demons a lesson, but we still have to be careful. After all, the little leopard king's injuries have healed, and we must leave before he arrives."
"Leave the hunting of the Toad King to me. Don't worry, I will leave when the time comes, regardless of whether it succeeds or not."
Ye Kang spoke confidently, because he had a record of killing the Green-Faced Fox King, and Fang Wuji did not say anything more and chose to believe him.
The three soon arrived at the border wasteland, where many two-horned demon hounds roamed.
Chu Fanjiang stepped out and said, "I'm going to fight those two guys. You guys just keep going."
After saying that, his aura surged, and a huge divine pillar appeared behind him, its power spreading and covering the entire wasteland.
"Old dog! Come and fight!"
A furious roar rang out, and Bloodfang King, who was eating, sensed something was wrong and immediately rushed out.
"You brat! You dare to cause trouble for me? Do you think I'm really afraid of you?!"
A thirty-foot-tall, two-horned demonic hound roared and charged forward. Chu Fanjiang completely abandoned his defenses, and his aura surged wildly atop the Heavenly Pillar.
The fists of the thirty layers poured out one after another, each punch being extremely powerful from the start.
Without a doubt, Bloodfang King was knocked down with a single punch.
Chu Fanjiang didn't stop for a moment, and went straight into the forest beyond the wasteland.
"And you! You old bastard, get out here!"
A moment later, a gray five-eyed roe deer rose up from the ground in the forest.
It was accompanied by a frustrated roar: "Are you sick?! I have never gone out to hurt anyone on my own initiative, why are you hitting me!"
"Just hit me if you want, do you have to pick a day?"
"This is outrageous! Dog King, let's attack together and teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"
The two demons and one human immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Chu Fanjiang seemed to have a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent it. When he started fighting, he was incredibly fierce, and almost every punch he threw could blast out a large chunk of flesh.
Meanwhile, Ye Kang and Fang Wuji had already taken advantage of the situation to cross the wasteland and forest.
"Senior Brother Chu is really reliable. His Heavenly Pillar seems to be six zhang long!" Ye Kang exclaimed.
Fang Wuji shook his head: "He himself is not satisfied. Although both are six zhang, Jian Xin's first pillar reached six zhang nine, just one inch away from seven zhang, while Xiao Chu's was only six zhang one.
Ye Kang expressed his sympathy, saying that no matter what he did, there was always someone who was superior to him, which was a kind of tragedy.
After a moment of reflection, the two arrived at the Thorn Valley.
Tang Wan came here last time to look for the Fire-Eating Ginseng.
The two made no attempt to conceal their presence and headed straight for the icy pool. The demons along the way retreated, trembling with fear at Fang Wuji's aura.
Below the icy pool, the Azure Toad Lord, who was cultivating, also opened his eyes.
At this moment, he was in human form, a handsome, tall, and slender young man with a fair complexion. The cave was pitch black, but he could see everything very clearly.
Sensing the familiar presence, he gave a disdainful smile.
"Fang Wuji, are you itching for a beating? You dare to cause trouble here? Do you think I'm the same as that roe deer and old dog outside?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Wuji's face darkened.
To be honest, that's about all the strength he has. He's fine fighting the Azure Toad on land, but he's really not confident about fighting the one underwater.
But he couldn't back down verbally, so he sneered, "Just a toad, how dare you talk about others? I just don't like you today, let's have a one-on-one fight!"
"Come out? Do you think I'm a three-year-old demon? I'm right here in my cave. If you want to fight, then fight. If you're too scared to come down, then don't disturb my sleep."
Toad King was very steady and would not be provoked by Fang Wuji. In addition, he was also stalling for time.
Little Leopard King isn't nearby; we have to wait until he arrives.
Seeing this, Ye Kang transmitted his voice, "Uncle Fang, you guard the Crimson-Eyed Bear King, I'm going down."
"Wait! You really want to get down!"
While Fang Wuji was still hesitating, Ye Kang had already plunged into the water.
Ye Kang activated the Catfish Demon Water Suppression Technique and rushed into the water at an extremely fast speed. The Catfish Demon phantom surrounded him, allowing him to fully adapt to the coldness and depth of the pool.
This is indeed Toad Lord's territory, but it is also Ye Kang's territory.
His entire body was covered in black patterns, making him the overlord of the water!
Deep within the icy pool, the Jade Toad King sensed Ye Kang jumping down and his brows furrowed deeply.
"Isn't this kid the bastard who ruined my plans last time and got me seriously injured by Tang Yulan...? How dare he come down here? Could it be a trap?"
The psychological trauma left by Tang Yulan is still there, and even Chan Jun still has unhealed wounds from last time.
His first reaction now wasn't arrogance, but doubt.
"go."
His lips twitched slightly; he decided to test the waters first.
Suddenly, two female toads, each with nine leaves, leaped out from the stone platform on the side of the cold pool. Their toad legs moved with a speed that was unlike that of toads.
