Cultivating To Immortality

Sizzle. Sizzle. Sizzle.

The blue ice snakes failed to hit Fang Hong, instead landing on the ground where he had just been standing.

The ground was instantly pierced by the ice snakes, creating bottomless holes. The penetration was incredibly sharp, and the edges of the holes were covered in a layer of white frost, emitting rolling cold Qi.

"Not bad reaction speed, you actually managed to dodge it."

A man's voice came from the direction the ice snakes had shot out. Fang Hong steadied himself and looked in that direction.

He saw a burly man in blue fly out from behind a tree, landing steadily in an open space not far from Fang Hong, a smile on his face.

"So it's you." Fang Hong's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the other party's face.

This burly man in blue was none other than the stall owner who had sold him the Ice Snake talisman on the city's trade street a few days ago.

"Fellow Daoist, it seems we truly have quite a connection. We only parted a few days ago, and now we meet in this Yin Demon Forest." The burly man in blue said with a smile, looking very amiable.

"Yes, indeed, quite a connection."

"That day on the city's trade street, I spent a hefty sum to buy an Ice Snake talisman from you, Fellow Daoist. Could it be that today you intend to kill me, your customer, and snatch back the talisman you sold?" Fang Hong said teasingly.

"Alas, times have changed. This is a critical moment for the assessment, and I actually don't wish to engage in such highway robbery."

"How about this, Fellow Daoist, you just need to hand over your identity token obediently, and I guarantee I won't lay a hand on you, how does that sound?" The burly man in blue maintained his smile.

Upon hearing this, Fang Hong simply shook his head slightly, directly taking out two Ice Snake talismans, and cold Qi surged around him.

Seeing Fang Hong directly reveal his talismans, the smile on the burly man in blue's face slowly faded, and his expression gradually turned grim.

"It seems Fellow Daoist intends to be my enemy."

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever considered that one day you might fall to the talismans you personally sold?" Fang Hong said, then threw out the two Ice Snake talismans.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

As soon as the talismans left Fang Hong's hand, they suddenly exploded in mid-air, shattering into countless ice crystal fragments.

The fragments seemed to come alive, rapidly condensing into dozens of tiny ice snakes, their bodies glowing with a cold luster, pouncing towards the burly man in blue!

Seeing this, the burly man in blue let out a cold snort, his face full of disdain.

With a flick of his finger, a golden talisman flew out from his sleeve, unfolding abruptly in the air and transforming into a golden tortoise shell, blocking in front of him.

Clink. Clink. Clink.

Dozens of ice snakes crashed into the golden tortoise shell one after another, instantly emitting a series of crisp collision sounds, with ice fragments scattering everywhere.

The seemingly fierce ice snakes shattered upon contact with the tortoise shell, turning into a pile of broken ice, completely unable to penetrate the tortoise shell's defense.

"It's a third-grade defensive immortal talisman?"

Fang Hong was slightly surprised. To be able to casually conjure such a high-grade defensive talisman, it seemed this strong man was most likely also a talisman Master.

"You're actually using the talismans I personally sold to attack me? Fellow Daoist, this method of yours is truly amusing." The burly man in blue couldn't help but sneer.

"Oh really? What if it's like this then?"

Fang Hong smiled indifferently, and with another fierce flick of his wrist, this time it wasn't two Ice Snake talismans, but a full hundred Ben Lei Talismans that shot out from his body.

The talismans exploded simultaneously in the air, and countless bolts of wild lightning instantly took shape, sweeping towards the burly man in blue with a thunderous roar.

"O-one hundred. It's actually one hundred Ben Lei Talismans."

Fang Hong's sudden move instantly froze the triumphant expression on the burly man in blue's face, replaced by utter shock.

He no longer dared to show any contempt, quickly taking out three more golden tortoise shell talismans, which transformed into three identical golden tortoise shells, firmly protecting his body.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Countless bolts of wild lightning violently struck the four tortoise shells, with lightning flashing and sparks flying. The surface of the tortoise shells glowed with dazzling golden light, violently trembling under the impact of the lightning.

After a few breaths, the sky-filling wild lightning finally gradually dissipated, and the lightning glow receded.

The burly man in blue let out a long sigh of relief, looking at the four tortoise shells in front of him, and found that cracks had already appeared on their surfaces.

"So Fellow Daoist is also a talisman Master. It seems I underestimated you before."

The burly man in blue put away all his contempt, staring at Fang Hong with a solemn gaze.

"That last move, that must have been all of Fellow Daoist's trump cards, right?"

"Now, it's my turn to act. Let me show you what true talisman master techniques are."

The burly man in blue sneered, then suddenly took out ten Ice Snake talismans, which floated around him.

He originally thought that Fang Hong would show an expression of fear and terror upon seeing him suddenly produce ten Ice Snake talismans.

But Fang Hong remained standing in place, a playful smile on his face. That undisguised look of disdain made him feel a subtle unease in his heart, always feeling that something wasn't right.

"What's the rush? This is just the beginning." Fang Hong chuckled lightly, and without waiting for the burly man in blue to react, he threw out another hundred talismans.

This time, what he threw out were not a hundred Ben Lei Talismans, but a hundred Ice Snake talismans.

"W-what?"

"O-one hundred. It's actually one hundred Ice Snake talismans."

"How is this possible?"

The burly man in blue's face suddenly turned ashen at this sight. He could no longer maintain his composure and cried out in alarm.

"F-Fellow Daoist. Let's talk this over properly. Let's talk this over properly."

"I don't want the identity token anymore. I'm leaving now, I absolutely won't bother Fellow Daoist." The burly man in blue said in terror, retreating backward as he spoke.

The burly man in blue was filled with immense regret. He was truly unlucky today to have encountered a monster.

The burly man in blue wanted to escape, but Fang Hong had no intention of letting him go. How could he let a prey that delivered itself to him escape?

Fang Hong immediately used the Void Secret Technique, instantly appearing in front of the burly man in blue, then activated the hundred Ice Snake talismans. Countless ice snakes attacked the burly man in blue from all directions.

"No. Don't do it." The burly man in blue was terrified and screamed.

He quickly pulled out all the defensive talismans he had, and dozens of talismans exploded simultaneously, transforming into various defensive barriers: earth walls, water screens, tortoise shells, and so on.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

The ice snakes struck the defensive barriers like raindrops.

Earth walls cracked, water screens scattered. Although the tortoise shell talismans lasted a bit longer, cracks continuously appeared under the sustained impact of the ice snakes.

The burly man in blue's defensive talismans totaled only fifty-odd, barely holding back the first wave of ice snake attacks.

He still harbored a sliver of hope, thinking that Fang Hong should have no more talismans.

However, before he could even let out a sigh of relief, he saw Fang Hong take out another hundred Ice Snake talismans flying towards him.

Seeing this, the burly man in blue utterly despaired.

Accompanied by a series of shrill screams, the burly man in blue's defensive measures finally ran out completely, and countless ice snakes mercilessly pierced through his body.

The burly man in blue fell straight to the ground, his entire body covered in a layer of white frost, emitting rolling cold Qi, staring at Fang Hong with a face full of terror.
