I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

"You little thief, how daring!"

The elder had been watching the magical combat between the two the entire time.

When Gu Yuan unleashed twenty-eight sword lights, his expression changed slightly, feeling the urge to intervene, but recalling the young master’s temperament, he hesitated for a moment.

After all, he knew there was a high-grade spiritual artifact protecting him.

No matter how dire the situation, it should hold until he could make a move.

However, he never imagined that the situation would deteriorate so rapidly!

The young man before him was wielding two high-grade spiritual artifacts, one middle-grade spiritual artifact, and still had the strength to release five Dharma Seals; the vastness of his mana was almost comparable to his own.

But now was not the time to ponder, rescue was of the essence.

His mana surged, roaring to life, and several Dharma Seals flickered simultaneously within his dantian, while the spiritual light of a high-grade spiritual artifact flashed at his waist.

"Jie jie jie!"

But just then, from beneath the island, a short figure swiftly sprang forth.

This figure gleamed with a golden light all over, face pale, seemingly possessing only early-stage Earth Demon cultivation.

However, in its eyes, there were insect shadows that chilled the soul, a sinister grin filled with wickedness.

Just an early-stage Earth Demon.

The elder paid it no mind.

All he wanted now was to save the red-haired youth.

"Boom!"

But just at that moment, a tremendous roar erupted in his ears, causing his expression to change sharply, forcing him to gather his mana to protect himself.

The Demon Race that had just flown to the clouds above suddenly self-destructed without a word!

Though it was only at the early stage of Earth Demon, the self-detonation’s power was no less than a mid-stage Earth Demon, and the immense impact shook all around, forcing even an elder of late-stage Foundation Establishment to momentarily avoid the edge.

This immense impact even affected the red-haired youth.

His already tottering Red Gold Shield could no longer sustain it, cracking with a "ka-cha" and shattering directly.

"Elder Lux, save me!"

As the Red Gold Shield shattered, the red-haired youth’s face changed drastically; while furiously shouting, he desperately attempted to activate other methods to protect himself.

"Boom!"

But as the Red Gold Shield shattered, Gu Yuan’s surging divine sense and Fire Eye Technique simultaneously attacked the red-haired youth’s sea of consciousness.

The red-haired youth’s expression momentarily froze, but the crimson Jade Seal at his waist quietly lit up, emitting spiritual light, bringing the youth back to clarity.

Moreover, the fiery red ring on his finger suddenly shone brightly, emanating a layer of fiery red flowing clouds, enveloping the youth.

Middle-grade Spiritual Artifact, Fire Escape Spirit Ring.

Though just a middle-grade spiritual artifact, it was handcrafted by a Golden Core cultivator.

Inside, it contained a peculiar "Fire Escape Golden Pattern", allowing instantaneous random teleportation by a hundred yards, a marvel of escape tool that even a full-force strike from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn’t hold against.

"Boom!"

The red-haired youth’s body instantly dissipated like flames, leaving only a wisp of green smoke in place.

Upon reappearing, he was already a hundred yards away.

Gu Yuan’s numerous attacks landed together but hit nothing.

"You little thief, seeking death!"

By this time, the elder had recovered from the aftermath of the explosion.

He waved his hand, and a majestic, imposing fire Qilin with crimson eyes formed.

This fire Qilin exuded an overwhelmingly thick aura, its eyes full of spiritual nature, clearly no ordinary Dharma Seal.

"Roar!"

The Qilin roared, with crimson flames tinged with purple light; the intense heat seemed capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.

A late-stage Foundation Establishment’s wrathful strike was indeed extraordinary.

"Swish!"

But this strike also fell void.

Gu Yuan’s figure transformed into a stream of water, disappearing without a trace, mirroring the red-haired youth’s escape, marvelous to the extreme.

...

A hundred yards away, the red-haired youth, having fled the battlefield, wore a look of relief.

"Thankfully, I had the Fire Escape Secret Treasure bestowed by grandfather, otherwise today I really would’ve perished here..."

He never imagined that there would be such a cunning sword cultivator in the Ten Thousand Islands Sea, whose methods even surpassed his own as a descendant of a Golden Core individual.

His arrogance nearly led to his death.

"Luckily, with Elder Lux around, he should be able to hold that brat..."

As he muttered to himself, preparing to take out a pill to restore his mana, a tall figure materialized above the sea beneath him.

"Zheng!"

"Bang!"

Before the red-haired youth could react, a sharp sword light and a massive fist had already reached him.

"Impossible!"

"Elder Lux, save me!"

The red-haired youth shouted furiously.

"You little thief, how dare you!"

In the distance, the elder came rushing, wielding a fiery Feather Fan Spiritual Artifact, a bloody glow emanating from his body, instantly teleporting over to save the red-haired youth.

But behind Gu Yuan, two demon beast essences suddenly leapt out.

One, in the mid-stage Earth Demon realm, resembling a spirit fox, with three wings and eyes flashing with purple light, seemed to carry a bewitching force.

The other was a white little mink, the size of a palm, yet exuded a floating sensation, as if it could leap through space at any moment.

These two beasts were the exotic species Gu Yuan had slain when searching for a Demon Pill.

One named "Illusory Spirit Fox", and the other "Broken Cloud Mink", each possessing bizarre illusion techniques and spatial movement arts, it took Gu Yuan great effort to bring them down.

And now, it was time for these two beasts to be deployed.

"Zee zee!"

"Jiu jiu!"

The two demon beast essences roared in unison, a dense cloud and a white ball of light fiercely targeting the elder.

"Get lost!"

The elder shouted repeatedly in anger, his crimson Feather Fan Spiritual Artifact swinging with fierce mana, unleashing terrifying flames, seemingly burning even the void.

But the white cloud exhaled by the Illusory Spirit Fox ignored the technique entirely, piercing through the flames directly, covering the elder’s face.

The elder’s expression froze instantly, seeming to fall into a daze.

Yet this daze was fleeting, gone in an instant, and the elder regained his senses.

But upon regaining clarity, he realized to his dismay that he had been displaced by a hundred yards, growing farther from the red-haired youth.

"No!"

But a hundred yards away, Gu Yuan’s icy blue hand had already seized the youth’s throat firmly.

The elder’s eyes were bloodshot, a bloody glow enveloping him, instantly breaking through the void to reach the youth’s side.

However, he was still a step too late.

A four-winged green insect, with excited beady eyes, suddenly burrowed into the youth’s brow.

The youth’s struggles halted abruptly, eyes showing a vacant gaze.

"You audacious brat, what did you do to the Young Sect Master!"

The elder’s eyes were filled with blood, his fury reaching the peak, unable to resist asking.

"Zheng!"

In response, only twenty-eight dazzling sword lights and a pair of icy blue fists greeted him.

This brat, even aims to kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?

The elder’s heart filled with shock, a look of disbelief slowly surfacing.
