Cultivating To Immortality

Deep within the ruins, a dazzling green light suddenly erupted, sending all the surrounding rubble flying.

From within the green light, Fang Hong's figure slowly emerged, with three turtle shells still floating intact beside him, clearly indicating that the previous attack had not caused him any substantial harm.

Fang Hong's expression relaxed, and his heart settled down a bit.

Although that old ghost was at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, in terms of attack power, he was clearly inferior to that Level 8 Golden-winged Bird.

That is to say, as long as he had the Turtle Shell Talisman, he was still safe for now; he just needed to find a way to repel this old ghost and seize the opportunity to escape.

To this end, Fang Hong's eyes sharpened, and he decisively conjured a green-glowing Talisman Treasure from his storage bag; it was precisely the Sword Qi Talisman Treasure personally refined by Old Ancestor Luo Jie.

Fang Hong fully activated the Spiritual Treasure with his Life bound Heart Blood, intending to use its last attack to repel Zhao Yongxiu in one fell swoop and secure a sliver of hope for escape.

"High-grade Talisman Treasure?" Zhao Yongxiu's face finally changed when he saw the green Talisman Treasure in front of Fang Hong.

In an instant, the Talisman Treasure glowed with green light, transforming into a crescent-shaped Sword Qi. Fang Hong roared, pushing it forward violently, sending the Sword Qi slashing fiercely towards Zhao Yongxiu.

Whoosh!

The Sword Qi tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistle. It was very fast. Zhao Yongxiu flicked his wrist and quickly conjured a dark shield Spiritual Treasure to block in front of him.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

The crescent-shaped Sword Qi slashed fiercely onto the shield, and the powerful impact directly sent Zhao Yongxiu flying backward, smashing through many houses along the way.

Seeing this, Fang Hong, without hesitation, transformed into several blurry afterimages and fled in one direction.

It was clearly unrealistic to try and kill that old ghost with just one Talisman Treasure; it was better to escape quickly. As long as he reached the end of Demon Corpse City, he could get rid of this old ghost.

Bang.

The ruins exploded, and Zhao Yongxiu's Qi erupted again. His face was gloomy, his eyes flickered with killing intent, having underestimated Fang Hong's resistance.

"Good, good, good. I didn't expect Old Ancestor Xiao Ze to refine such a Talisman Treasure for him. He must value him greatly, right? Then I must subdue him even more." Zhao Yongxiu laughed wildly and immediately chased after Fang Hong.

"This old ghost, what incredible speed." Fang Hong ran frantically in front, his face filled with shock, realizing that Zhao Yongxiu was getting closer and closer.

If this continued, he would surely be caught. He had to escape the range of the old ghost's solidified spell so he could use the Wood Escape Talisman.

"Kid, you can't escape."

Zhao Yongxiu's rolling demonic qi voice came from behind, and he once again cast his solidified spell, expanding its range further, preventing Fang Hong from using the Wood Escape Talisman.

Fang Hong felt helpless and could only continue to run for his life in front.

After chasing for a distance, only a hundred zhang separated Zhao Yongxiu and him.

Zhao Yongxiu raised a hand and pointed at Fang Hong. In an instant, dozens of black demonic qi surged out, smashing fiercely towards Fang Hong.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Fang Hong dodged frantically in front, avoiding the demonic qi attacks, but he was still hit by a ball of demonic qi and sent flying.

Fortunately, the Turtle Shell Talisman blocked the damage for him, and he was not injured, but the three turtle shells already had many cracks. If he took another hit, they would definitely explode.

Fang Hong had no choice but to conjure another Turtle Shell Talisman, replacing the three old turtle shells with new ones, and continued to flee for his life.

"This kid actually still has a top-grade Talisman?" Zhao Yongxiu was greatly surprised. In his annoyance, he unleashed dozens more demonic qi and, at the same time, threw a dark rock towards Fang Hong.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Because Zhao Yongxiu unleashed too much demonic qi, Fang Hong was hit again, and the outermost layer of the turtle shell completely shattered.

Fang Hong remained calm in the face of danger, even using the force of being struck to accelerate his escape speed.

But at this moment, the black rock thrown by Zhao Yongxiu suddenly appeared above Fang Hong, instantly growing larger, transforming into a small mountain that descended from the sky.

Boom.

The black small mountain flashed with a black light, and a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, landing on Fang Hong.

Fang Hong's face could no longer remain calm; he was utterly shocked. This pressure pinned him to the spot, almost making him kneel.

If it weren't for the Turtle Shell Talisman offsetting most of the pressure, he would probably be sprawled on the ground.

Fang Hong dared not hesitate in the slightest and quickly conjured his fire cloud gourd, spewing out rolling red mist.

He could only pray that the fire cloud gourd could take away the small mountain above; otherwise, he would have to fight Zhao Yongxiu head-on, which was something he did not want to see.

"Hmph hmph hmph. Let's see how you'll run now?" Zhao Yongxiu laughed triumphantly when he saw Fang Hong pinned by his small mountain Spiritual Treasure.

However, the next moment, Zhao Yongxiu couldn't laugh anymore.

The small mountain in the sky was enveloped by red mist, its spiritual light greatly diminished, gradually shrinking, and finally absorbed into the fire cloud gourd.

Pfft.

Zhao Yongxiu's mind trembled, and he immediately stopped in place, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, his old eyes wide, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"How, how is this possible?" Zhao Yongxiu was shocked internally. His Life bound Treasure was actually taken away?

Moreover, the most crucial thing was that the connection between him and his Life bound Treasure was severed; he couldn't sense it at all.

Zhao Yongxiu was momentarily stunned. The Spiritual Treasure he had refined for hundreds of years was just gone like that? This was simply unbelievable.

After Fang Hong took away the small mountain, he ran frantically, not daring to delay in the slightest, desperately fleeing towards the end of Demon Corpse City.

"Junior, return this Old Ancestor's Lifebound Treasure."

Zhao Yongxiu finally regained his senses, his face twisted, roaring repeatedly, and once again pursued him.

Fang Hong dared not look back, running with all his might. He was just a little bit away from being able to use the Wood Escape Talisman to escape.

Zhao Yongxiu also knew Fang Hong's thoughts, he roared, slamming a palm on the ground, extending the range of his solidified spell to its limit, spreading for dozens of miles.

Seeing this, Fang Hong cursed under his breath and had no choice but to continue running, not daring to stop for a moment.

Roar.

As he ran, suddenly, several houses in front of Fang Hong collapsed, and a gigantic object blocked his path.

"Giant Demon, Nascent Soul Stage" Fang Hong was terrified in his heart; this colossal object was actually a demonic creature.

This demonic creature was twenty to thirty zhang tall, covered in black fur, with blood-red eyes, looking extraordinarily ferocious.

Moreover, the Qi of this demon had already reached the astonishing Nascent Soul Stage.

Fang Hong groaned inwardly; his luck was too terrible.

Zhao Yongxiu was also slightly surprised when he saw the Nascent Soul demonic creature.

Roar!

The Giant Demon looked down at Fang Hong, let out a thunderous roar, and then swung its huge fist, sweeping it towards Fang Hong.

Fang Hong quickly conjured the Heavenly Thunder Needle, transforming it into a circular shield to cover his body. At the same time, he conjured the Crown Prince of Zhao's body-protecting jade Spiritual Treasure, adding the Turtle Shell Talisman, forming a triple defense to block the Giant Demon's attack.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

The Giant Demon's attack was extremely powerful, instantly knocking down dozens of houses, and sending Fang Hong flying along with them.

With a crisp "crack," the outermost three turtle shells absorbed a large amount of impact and instantly shattered. Even the body-protecting jade shattered under the impact.

Fortunately, it finally blocked the attack. The circular shield formed by the Heavenly Thunder Needle carried Fang Hong rapidly backward, smashing countless houses along the way.

"Hahahaha. Many thanks to Senior Demon for your great assistance. It would be even better if you could help me hold back that old ghost."

Fang Hong, far from feeling distressed at losing a Spiritual Treasure, was instantly overjoyed instead.

The Giant Demon knocking him away just happened to allow him to use that force to instantly put a large distance between himself and Zhao Yongxiu.
