Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

“Ssst—”

The arc of light leaped dozens of miles in an instant.

“Boom—”

A faint sound echoed.

The scale armor gifted by the Water Dragon Sect, said to withstand the a Core Formation mid-stage cultivator’s attack for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, couldn’t even hold up for a moment against the blood-red arc of light slashed out by Jiang Hong before it was split apart.

“Wh… what?”

Ji Yuan felt a tinge of panic in his heart.

What did this mean?

It meant Jiang Hong’s attack, whose power absolutely exceeded the mid-stage Core Formation, likely reached the late-stage Core Formation.

But he was clearly just a Fake Pill Cultivator!

A Fake Pill Cultivator’s attack strength could rival late-stage Core Formation?

Damn it, is this the foundation of having parents who are Nascent Soul Cultivators?

Thoughts flashed through Ji Yuan’s mind.

But fortunately, although Jiang Hong’s attack was strong, Ji Yuan had managed to block most of its power with the scale armor. The remaining weak blood-red arc of light struck Ji Yuan.

“Ssst—”

Although Ji Yuan’s blood qi resisted, the arc of light still broke through his spirit robe, striking a bloodline on his chest.

Only then did it completely dissipate.

The physique of the Bone Forging Realm was actually wounded!

This was the first time Ji Yuan was physically injured since embarking on the path of body cultivation, proving Jiang Hong’s prowess!

But soon it was Jiang Hong who was shocked. He looked at his strongest attack, confident in his victory, but it hadn’t killed Qiu Qianhai in front of him.

It had merely… merely scratched the surface.

How was this possible?

’This blood-drinking slash taught by my father, which I had cultivated to the point of having late-stage Core Formation power, but Qiu Qianhai in front of me was obviously just a Fake Pill Cultivator, how, how could this be possible?’

’Even if his protective techniques blocked most of it, the remaining power shouldn’t be something his physique could withstand!’

He must have used some other methods!

Damned.

How could Qiu Qianhai have so many tricks!

“Young Master Jiang, farewell!”

Ji Yuan, standing atop the illusory flying boat, sneered coldly and once again activated the escape shuttle beneath his feet, transforming into an escape light through the broken restriction.

Breaking the restriction, escaping to live!

“Trying to run?!”

Seeing this, Jiang Hong sneered fiercely, bringing his index and middle fingers together in front of him, and uttered softly.

“Go!”

A blood-colored hook came flying out from the storage bag at his waist, crossing countless miles in an instant, grabbing Ji Yuan’s back.

The escape shuttle sped eastward.

Taking Jiang Hong along with it, they both disappeared from the location.

Corpse Buddha Child belatedly exclaimed urgently:

“The Young Master went along, what now!”

“They went east, follow them, I’ll contact the Blood Madame to see what she says.”

“No need, I’ve already messaged the Blood Luo King.”

Black escape light descended beside them, transforming into the form of Black Shaman Sword Demon.

“You…”

Corpse Buddha Child and Blood Nightmare Old Monster looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar old companion before them, one step short of saying… We all came out with the Blood Madame, yet you turned out to be one of the Blood Luo King’s men!

“… ”

When Ji Yuan manifested once again, he had arrived at the shore of the East Sea.

He naturally felt the pulling from behind, like the persistent cling of Jiang Hong.

Ji Yuan wasn’t without thoughts of shaking off Young Master Jiang, but no matter what method he used, it was all in vain.

The flying saber and flying sword were needless to say.

Even using his Lifebound Magical Treasure to confine, or Spirit-Devouring Bee to isolate spiritual energy, couldn’t sever it.

The chain seemed to grow on him, unable to be shaken off the slightest bit.

Just like now, as the effect of the first escape shuttle faded, Ji Yuan’s speed gradually slowed, and Jiang Hong’s voice came from behind.

“Run huh? Aren’t you good at running!”

Unable to shake off, the only choice was to continue escaping.

Even in a confrontation, at least he should bring him to Endless Sea to think of a way to finish him off, and then dive into Jiyuan Continent, waiting until he forms his Nascent Soul to return!

With a thought, Ji Yuan took out another escape shuttle talisman treasure from the storage bag.

The previous one he used was gifted by Hu Li, only able to be used once.

The one Ji Yuan held now was given by Li Changhe, new and still usable three times.

As he poured mana into it, the escape shuttle’s light enveloped him once again, and Jiang Hong who was dragged behind, seemed a bit exasperated.

“Escape shuttle, another escape shuttle!”

“How many escape shuttles do you have, damn it, looks like the first thing after I get back is to kill that cursed Escape Heaven Old Monster.”

… Ha, say that once you manage to go back!

Ji Yuan sneered internally, and as he was enclosed by the escape shuttle talisman treasure once more, his form transformed into an escape light, vanishing from the place.

Yet Jiang Hong still stubbornly followed behind.

Toward the east, Ji Yuan corrected his path several times, thus when this escape shuttle’s effect ended, he had arrived near Black Dragon Island.

But it was still not enough, too far from the location marked on the Sea Map.

Ji Yuan worried that after killing Jiang Hong, he wouldn’t be able to escape.

Thus he had to use the escape shuttle talisman treasure a third time; however, this time, Ji Yuan consumed a drop of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk to replenish the mana deficit in his Dantian.

Fake Pill Realm, using the talisman treasure consecutively three times was indeed somewhat overwhelming.

This time Jiang Hong cursed even harder, but no matter how much he cursed, he didn’t loosen his grip in the slightest.

Showing an endless, relentless demeanor.

Ji Yuan also hoped for his persistence, the further they went, the easier it would be to kill him, avenging Ran Kui and Xu Fugui.
