Chapter 211 - 211: Danger
Fang Hong ignored him, directly sealing him into a jade bottle spiritual artifact and casting several incantations to carefully preserve it.
The Nascent Soul of such an old monster was still useful; he could slowly interrogate him with Soul Searching Arts another day, perhaps obtaining some intelligence.
After dealing with the Nascent Soul, Fang Hong casually took Wu Feng's storage bag and quickly scanned it with his Divine Sense.
Inside, there were quite a lot of things: spiritual artifacts, spiritual treasures, spirit stones, spirit medicine, and so on. After he processed them, his spiritual treasures could be upgraded again.
Next, Fang Hong fed Wu Feng's corpse to the demon gourd, refining it into another Divine Transformation Middle Stage spirit pill.
After dealing with Wu Feng, Fang Hong returned to the valley and began to harvest the spirit medicine there.
The alchemy materials were now complete; after returning, he could refine Saint Spirit Pills and Breaking Void Pills, and his cultivation advancement would be just around the corner.
After a while, Fang Hong left the valley and continued to wander through the Ancient Beasts forest, seeing if he could find other opportunities.
...
It was the fifteenth day, and there were still two or three hours before the Small World closed.
Fang Hong was still sweeping through the depths of the forest. He had been lucky these past few days, finding many thousand-year spirit medicine and even hunting two Divine Transformation Stage Ancient Beasts.
Unfortunately, he had not found any ten-thousand-year Spirit Items.
During this time, Fang Hong had been searching for Zhao Wenjun, but that guy was hiding too well, and the Small World was so vast that he was truly difficult to find.
Fang Hong now thought that when he exited the Small World later, he would unleash a full-power strike, determined to kill Zhao Wenjun in an instant and completely eliminate this menace.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Fang Hong was flying in the sky when suddenly, thousands of miles away, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi fluctuated intensely, clearly indicating that Divine Transformation cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle.
Fang Hong's face lit up, and he immediately rushed over, thinking it might be Zhao Wenjun.
Before long, Fang Hong arrived at the battlefield.
Sure enough, two Divine Transformation masters were fighting. One of them was his fellow sect member, Fellow Daoist Li Qing, and the other was Grand Elder Lu Cheng of the Shenwu Sect.
Lu Cheng was surrounded by faint green flames, his aura steady and profound, with a Divine Transformation Middle Stage cultivation.
Li Qing, however, was only at the Divine Transformation Early Stage; their cultivation levels differed by one stage.
At this moment, Li Qing was being firmly suppressed by Lu Cheng, and his Magical Robe had been torn, clearly indicating he was no match for Lu Cheng. His defeat was only a matter of time.
Since it was a fellow sect member, Fang Hong naturally wouldn't stand by. Moreover, Li Qing usually had a good relationship with him in the sect, often discussing and exchanging ideas together.
Fang Hong didn't hesitate at all and immediately stepped in to help.
With a raise of his hand, several Void Spirit Slashes shot out, carrying the whistling sound of the wind, and struck towards Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng was fully focused on suppressing Li Qing when he suddenly sensed a killing intent approaching from afar. His face drastically changed, and he quickly used the mixed fire flying sword in his hand to block in front of him.
Clang. Clang. Clang.
With a crisp sound, the moment the Void Spirit Slash collided with the Flying Sword, the immense impact sent Lu Cheng flying. He was thrown back dozens of feet before he could stabilize his body.
"Brother Fang, this is great. To think I'd meet you here."
Li Qing's face lit up with joy upon seeing Fang Hong's appearance, and his grave expression finally relaxed a bit.
With Fang Hong joining, in a two-on-one situation, they might not necessarily lose to Lu Cheng.
"Brother Li, why are you fighting him?"
Fang Hong flew to Li Qing's side, his gaze fixed on Lu Cheng not far away, and asked casually.
Li Qing shook his head and said helplessly.
"Sigh, don't even mention it. I was picking spirit medicine in a mountain valley when I unluckily ran into this guy."
"Seeing me alone, he directly attacked, trying to kill me. I've been chased by him for a whole day."
"Since that's the case, then let's join forces today and get rid of him," Fang Hong said calmly.
Li Qing looked at Lu Cheng not far away and shouted angrily.
"Old Ghost Lu, now I have a Fellow Daoist helping me. In a two-on-one situation, it's not certain who will win or lose."
Lu Cheng's face was grim, staring intently at Fang Hong.
With his Divine Transformation Middle Stage cultivation, dealing with two Divine Transformation Early Stage cultivators simultaneously was not a problem, but killing them in a short amount of time would be difficult.
"Hmph. You're lucky this time. We'll meet again."
Lu Cheng snorted coldly. Before his words even finished, his entire body transformed into a red streak of light and fled into the distance.
Since there was no chance to kill a lone opponent, Lu Cheng didn't want to engage in a meaningless battle and waste his magic power, so he simply left.
"Don't even think about leaving."
But how could Fang Hong let this prey that was within his grasp escape?
"Hey, Brother Fang, let's just forget it," Li Qing quickly pulled him back.
"This guy is not weak. Even if the two of us team up, we might not gain an advantage. Why take this risk?"
"Brother Li, you wait here. I'll go and kill him."
Fang Hong smiled, then transformed into a golden light, vanishing into thin air, and pursued him at his fastest escape speed.
"Wh-what?" Li Qing's eyes almost popped out in shock.
Fang Hong actually dared chased after someone of a higher realm than him alone?
Li Qing was astonished. Was Brother Fang too bold? A Divine Transformation Early Stage cultivator daring to chase a Divine Transformation Middle Stage cultivator?
Li Qing sighed and immediately used his escape technique, quickly chasing in the direction where the golden light had disappeared.
This matter had started because of him, and he couldn't just stand by and watch Fang Hong get into trouble.
Li Qing flew for a while, and he was horrified to find that Fang Hong's figure had long disappeared ahead.
"Brother Fang's escape technique is actually this fast?"
Li Qing was both shocked and worried, and could only silently pray in his heart.
'Please don't actually catch up to Lu Cheng.'
At this moment, Lu Cheng was flying rapidly ahead, no longer intending to bother with Li Qing and Fang Hong, only wanting to find spirit medicine.
Suddenly, he keenly sensed a powerful aura approaching at an extremely fast speed.
Lu Cheng stopped, hovering in mid-air, and turned to look. When he saw that only Fang Hong was chasing him, he was momentarily stunned. This kid actually dared to chase him alone?
"This kid, is he here to die?" Lu Cheng realized he had been underestimated, and a surge of anger instantly rose from the bottom of his heart.
Fang Hong stopped less than a hundred feet from Lu Cheng, and without a word, he raised his hand and unleashed dozens of Void Spirit Slashes!
Those invisible slashes intertwined in the air to form a huge net, carrying the sharp whistling sound of tearing air, and struck down towards Lu Cheng's head.
Lu Cheng dared not be negligent and immediately summoned his Mixed Fire Flying Sword.
The Mixed Fire Flying Sword circled once in the air, instantly splitting into dozens of sword shadows that revolved around him, forming a solid barrier to block Fang Hong's slashes.
Ding-Ding-Dang-Dang.
A series of crisp sounds rang out as the Void Spirit Slashes collided with the sword shadows, sparking countless fireflies.
Lu Cheng only felt a huge force coming, and his body was pushed back several feet.
"Arrogant brat, I haven't even come looking for trouble with you, and you actually dare to deliver yourself to my doorstep?"
Lu Cheng was completely enraged, and his entire body erupted with blazing green flames.
