Immortality Cultivation

After collecting the void crystal dust, Fang Hao did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately fled with all his might in the direction away from the battle area between Gong Mingliang and the Shadow Demon Leopard.

He knew well that Gong Mingliang would never let this matter rest; the Black Wind Abyss was already a place of trouble, and he had to leave as soon as possible!

He pushed his Divine Spirit Steps and Shrinking the Ground to an Inch to the limit, his figure weaving through the thick fog and strange rocks like a ghost.

At the same time, his Divine Sense was highly concentrated, alert to every movement around him.

However, he had underestimated Gong Mingliang’s determination and the arrangements the Gongming Family had made on the periphery of the Black Wind Abyss.

Just as he was about to approach the edge of the Black Wind Abyss and was on the verge of escaping this dangerous land, several sharp sounds of breaking through the air suddenly came from the fog ahead!

Immediately after, three figures flashed out like ghosts, blocking his path in a triangular formation!

The leader was none other than Gong Mingliang, whose face was gloomy, whose aura was slightly disordered, but whose killing intent was boiling like substance!

Beside him were the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators—one was severely injured with a severed arm and a withered aura, being supported by the other, but the eyes of both men, as they looked at Fang Hao, were filled with bone-deep resentment and murderous intent!

"Little bastard! You really wanted to escape!" Gong Mingliang gritted his teeth, his voice like the cold wind from the Nine Netherworlds. "Do you think you can leave safely after luring me away? Keep dreaming! Today, this place will be your burial ground!"

Fang Hao’s heart sank to the bottom in an instant! The worst-case scenario had happened! The opponent clearly had a backup plan on the periphery of the Black Wind Abyss, or possessed special tracking methods, having anticipated his evacuation route and set an ambush here!

His path forward was blocked, and his retreat was into the depths of the perilous Black Wind Abyss! A true desperate situation had emerged once again!

"Gong Mingliang, do you really want to kill me all the way?" Fang Hao stopped, his eyes cold as frost, his internal spiritual power running frantically, and his yitian sword was already drawn, emitting a buzzing sound.

"Kill you all the way?" Gong Mingliang sneered. "You killed my clansmen, played me for a fool, and stole my Opportunity! If I don’t extract your soul and refine your spirit, it will be hard to dispel the hatred in my heart! Hand over the fragment of the heavenly craft puppet manual and all your treasures, and I might leave your corpse intact!"

Before the words had even faded, Gong Mingliang had already struck! He knew Fang Hao was cunning and treacherous, so he stopped talking nonsense, aiming for a quick battle! The flame Flying Sword transformed into a crimson rainbow, carrying the momentum of burning the sky and boiling the sea, stabbing straight at Fang Hao’s brow! A full-force strike from the Middle Golden Core Stage was terrifyingly powerful!

At the same time, the uninjured Great Perfection Foundation Establishment Cultivator also sacrificed a curved blade, slashing towards Fang Hao from the flank. The blade light was sharp, sealing off Fang Hao’s room for evasion!

Facing this lethal situation, a trace of madness flashed in Fang Hao’s eyes! There was no way to avoid it; he could only fight to the death!

"Kill!" He shouted explosively, advancing instead of retreating! The empty clarity mirror was sacrificed instantly, its light shining out, attempting to distort the trajectory of the flame Flying Sword! At the same time, the yitian sword erupted with brilliant sword light, the Starfall Sword Art was fully unleashed, and dots of starlight like rain met the curved blade from the flank!

Boom! Boom! Two loud noises erupted almost simultaneously!

The light from the empty clarity mirror collided violently with the flame Flying Sword, the space distorted for a moment, and the trajectory of the Flying Sword shifted slightly, but it still grazed past Fang Hao’s shoulder with peerless momentum! The terrifying flame spiritual power instantly tore through his protective spiritual light, leaving his shoulder scorched black and bloody, the pain piercing his heart!

On the other side, the Starfall sword light collided fiercely with the curved blade! Fang Hao’s Late Foundation Establishment Stage spiritual power was ultimately inferior; the sword light shattered, and the curved blade, its momentum undiminished, fiercely slashed onto his left arm! Crack! The sound of bone breaking was clearly audible, and his left arm instantly hung limp, dripping with blood!

In a single encounter, Fang Hao was already severely injured!

"Die!" Gong Mingliang did not relent after gaining the upper hand; the flame Flying Sword returned and slashed down again! The Foundation Establishment Cultivator also sneered and attacked with his blade!

The breath of death rushed toward him!

Just at this critical moment, a trace of determination flashed in Fang Hao’s eyes! He knew that if he continued to hide his trump card, he would surely die today!

"golden puppet! Come out!" He roared in his mind, and his storage ring flashed with intense light!

Boom!!! A three-zhang tall dark golden giant descended with a boom in front of Fang Hao! It was that nascent soul puppet that was severely damaged and had a hideous scorched mark on its chest—the golden puppet!

The moment the golden puppet appeared, that terrifying pressure belonging to the Nascent Soul Level, although dim, still existed, sweeping out like a storm!

The attacks of Gong Mingliang and that Foundation Establishment Cultivator slammed solidly onto the golden puppet’s massive body!

Clang! Clang! Two deafening sounds of metal clashing rang out! The flame Flying Sword and the curved blade slashed onto the golden puppet, yet they only left two shallow white marks, sparks flying in all directions! The golden puppet’s body did not even sway!

"What?! A... nascent soul puppet?!" Gong Mingliang’s pupils shrank suddenly, his face pale with shock, the sneer on his face instantly froze, replaced by boundless terror and disbelief! He never imagined that Fang Hao actually hid such a terrifying trump card! Although this Puppet’s aura was unstable and clearly damaged, its Nascent Soul Level material and foundation were still there!

That Foundation Establishment Cultivator was even more terrified, Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, his hand even trembling as he attacked! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Kill! Leave none alive!" Fang Hao coughed up blood, enduring the excruciating pain, and issued the kill order to the golden puppet! He knew that the golden puppet was damaged and could not fight for long; he had to finish the battle quickly!

The golden puppet received the order, and its dim eyes suddenly lit up with dazzling golden light! It ignored Gong Mingliang’s shock, and the huge forging hammer, carrying the power to crush everything, smashed toward Gong Mingliang! Simple, brutal, yet containing the terrifying power of the Nascent Soul Level!

"No!" Gong Mingliang was terrified, fully activating his flame Flying Sword and protective Magic Treasure to resist!

Boom!!! The giant hammer fell like a collapsing mountain! The flame Flying Sword was smashed away directly, and Gong Mingliang’s protective light shield shattered like paper! His entire body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, blood spraying from his mouth, and who knew how many of his ribs had broken!

One strike! The Middle Golden Core Stage was severely injured!

On the other side, the golden puppet’s other arm swept across, swatting toward the terrified Foundation Establishment Cultivator like swatting a fly!

"No! Third Elder, save me!" The Cultivator screamed in despair, but it was useless!

Splat! Like a watermelon shattering, that Great Perfection Foundation Establishment Cultivator, along with the armless companion he was supporting, was directly swatted into a puddle of flesh! They died on the spot!

The situation reversed in an instant!

Gong Mingliang struggled to stand up, looking at the golden puppet standing like a war god and the cold-eyed Fang Hao, his heart filled with endless regret and fear! He finally understood that he had kicked an iron plate! This kid was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator at all; he was hiding a heaven-shaking secret behind him!

"Fang Hao! No, Fellow Daoist Ning! Spare my life! My Gongming Family is willing to offer everything..." Gong Mingliang had completely lost his will to fight, only wanting to survive.

But Fang Hao’s eyes were cold, without the slightest wavering. Things had reached this point; they were already mortal enemies. Releasing a tiger back to the mountain would lead to endless trouble!

"Kill!"

The golden puppet stepped forward again, its giant hammer raised high, locking onto Gong Mingliang!

"No!!! My Gongming Family will not let you off!!!" Gong Mingliang let out a final desperate roar, desperately burning his Golden Core, attempting to self-destruct!

However, the golden puppet’s speed was faster! The giant hammer fell with a boom!

Boom!!! The earth trembled! Dust filled the air!

When the dust settled, only a deep pit and a patch of blurred flesh remained on the spot. Gong Mingliang, his body and soul destroyed!

The battle ended. The Third Elder of the Gongming Family and his two elites were all executed!

Fang Hao staggered, almost unable to stand steady, his injuries heavy. He quickly put away the golden puppet and found that the scorched mark on the golden puppet’s chest seemed to have expanded a little more, and its light was even dimmer. Forcibly driving the damaged golden puppet to fight was a huge burden on it.

He dared not stay, forcefully took a breath, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, collected the Storage Rings of the three including Gong Mingliang and the remaining Magic Treasures, and then burned everything completely with Earth Core Flame Fire.

After doing all this, he immediately dragged his severely injured body and rushed out of the Black Wind Abyss without looking back, disappearing into the vast wilderness.

He knew that when the soul tablets of the three, including Gong Mingliang, shattered, it would be the day the Gongming Family flew into a rage. The fall of a Middle Golden Core Stage Elder was enough to make this Family, which had a Nascent Soul Cultivator sitting in charge, go crazy!

He and the Gongming Family were already mortal enemies! Next, he would face the full-force pursuit of a Nascent Soul Family! The true life of a fugitive had begun!

But Fang Hao’s eyes were exceptionally firm. The path to immortality is rugged, and only by stopping killing with killing and nurturing war with war can one survive! If they want to kill him, they must be prepared to be killed in return!

The top priority was to heal his wounds as soon as possible and find the earth core jade marrow to completely repair the golden puppet! Only by possessing Nascent Soul Level combat power could he have a glimmer of hope for survival in this Qingzhou land.
