Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 100: Kill

Although the Purple Crystal Ape’s defense was considered good among Demonic Beasts of the same rank, the thick layer of purple crystal on its arm could resist most cultivators’ attacks, but in front of Fang Hong’s Heavenly Thunder Needle Spiritual Treasure, it appeared incredibly fragile.

In just a few breaths, that layer of purple crystal protection was completely pierced, offering no resistance, like paper.

Tens of thousands of needle shadows covered the sky and earth, instantly piercing through the bodies of the two Purple Crystal Apes, causing blood to splatter and agonizing screams to erupt.

Their struggles lasted only a moment before they fell limply into a pool of blood, their Qi gone, dead on the spot.

"The power of the Heavenly Thunder Needle is even stronger than I expected," Fang Hong said, looking at the two mangled Demonic Beast corpses on the ground, nodding in satisfaction.

Dealing with these fifth and sixth-grade Demonic Beasts was almost effortless, requiring little magical power.

He no longer hesitated, absorbing the two Purple Crystal Ape corpses into his demon gourd to refine them into spirit pills.

With everything handled, Fang Hong did not linger, continuing deeper into the mountain forest to carry out his hunting plan.

Compared to the Heavenly Demon Ancient Forest, the central area of the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Forest was undoubtedly more dangerous, but it also meant more Opportunities.

But precisely because of this, the Demonic Beast resources gathered here were richer, and the Spiritual Qi concentration was higher.

For high-level cultivators, this was a perilous place where trials and resources coexisted.

In just one day, Fang Hong successively hunted five fifth-grade Demonic Beasts and three sixth-grade Demonic Beasts, a decent harvest.

In the evening, Fang Hong stopped at the foot of a tall mountain.

He flew halfway up the mountain, found a hidden stone cave, slightly modified it, and set it up as a temporary Immortal Cave to rest.

Outside the Immortal Cave, Fang Hong set up a defensive formation, the "Profound Earth Formation," which could effectively isolate his Qi and prevent Demonic Beasts and passing cultivators from prying.

After confirming that the formation was operating correctly, Fang Hong walked into the Immortal Cave and began to arrange his dwelling.

For this arrangement, he only opened up two stone rooms: one for his own Cultivation and rest, and the other prepared for Little Rainbow.

Fang Hong set up a small formation called the "Gathering Fire Array" in Little Rainbow’s stone room.

He placed a fifth-grade demonic core in the formation. Once the formation was activated, this demonic core would continuously condense demonic fire, allowing Little Rainbow to cultivate within it.

Fang Hong estimated that one fifth-grade demonic core would be enough for it to cultivate for a while.

Seeing the little fellow’s joyful and eager appearance, Fang Hong left it alone and returned to his own Cultivation stone room, letting the demon gourd spray out the spirit pills refined today. He sat cross-legged and began to absorb the pure spirit pills.

Thus, Fang Hong began his training life in the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Forest again, hunting Demonic Beasts during the day and returning to his Immortal Cave to absorb spirit pills at night.

The hunting process went extremely smoothly, with almost no obstacles encountered, but there was one problem that greatly troubled Fang Hong.

This problem was an old one: the high-grade Demonic Beast resources in the mountain forest were much scarcer than he had expected.

He had been Cultivating in the mountain forest for more than ten days, and the number of high-grade Demonic Beasts was gradually decreasing. Sixth-grade Demonic Beasts were already rare, and he hadn’t even seen a single seventh-grade Demonic Beast.

This morning, Fang Hong, as usual, walked out of his Immortal Cave and went into the mountain forest to look for prey.

Fang Hong swaggered through the mountain forest, muttering to himself, "I hope I can find a few more Demonic Beasts today..."

Before Fang Hong had gone far, he suddenly felt a chilling Killing Intent appear beside him without warning!

Fang Hong’s heart trembled violently, his expression changed drastically, and his body instinctively dodged to the side.

The next instant, an extremely cold black blade strangely appeared and fiercely stabbed into his chest. Its speed was so fast that Fang Hong didn’t even react! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Ding!"

A crisp sound rang out, a flash of fire appeared on Fang Hong’s chest, and his entire body was instantly sent flying, hitting with "bang, bang, bang" sounds, smashing through many trees along the way.

"Oh? There’s also an inner armor?" A shadow leaped from the ground, transforming into a black-clothed man.

He let out a low gasp of surprise, clearly not expecting Fang Hong to be wearing an inner armor that resisted attacks, rendering his sure-kill strike ineffective.

But he did not give up. The black shadow flickered, transforming into several afterimages, and rapidly rushed towards Fang Hong again to kill him!

After being stabbed and sent flying, Fang Hong quickly stabilized himself, feeling the bone-chilling Killing Intent assault him again.

Without time to think, he immediately threw out a cyan jade pendant from his storage bag to block in front of him.

"Buzz!"

The jade pendant glowed with a cyan light barrier, blocking in front of him.

The Black-clothed person’s black blade struck it heavily, but was directly sent flying back, retreating several feet before stabilizing himself.

"Body-Protecting Jade? You actually refined the Crown Prince’s Jade?!" The black-clothed man stabilized himself, his cold eyes showing surprise.

Fang Hong was expressionless, only staring coldly at the other party.

He had already determined that this person was a Late stage of Golden Core cultivator, with a deep aura, strange movement techniques, and proficient in Shadow Divine Art. He was most likely an assassin sent by Zhao, and he meant trouble.

"Damn it! How did this person know my whereabouts?" Fang Hong wondered. No one knew he had left the sect. Could this person have guessed he would come to the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Forest?

Fang Hong didn’t think much further; he had to deal with the immediate problem first. He immediately summoned all his flying needles and attacked the black-clothed man!

"Flying needles? How dare a Core Formation Stage like you fight me?" The Black-clothed person snorted coldly, his figure flickered, and he easily avoided the flying needle attack.

He wielded the black blade in his hand, slashing out dozens of thin shadow lines at Fang Hong. These shadow lines were quite sharp, cutting through large trees like cutting tofu.

Fang Hong’s gaze was solemn, but he was not flustered in the slightest.

He also used the Shadow Divine Art, his figure merging into the shadows, passing through the incoming shadow lines, and instantly appearing on the other side.

"You know Shadow Divine Art?! Bastard! Did you kill my disciple?!" The black-clothed man suddenly raged when he saw Fang Hong use the Shadow Divine Art.

"Disciple?" Fang Hong was slightly startled, then suddenly remembered the scar-faced man he had killed in Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden.

These two were actually master and disciple? What a coincidence.

In his rage, the Black-clothed person attacked again.

Fang Hong’s eyes sharpened, and Formation Flags flew out of his hand, instantly setting up a "Five Elements Demon-Trapping Formation," trapping the Black-clothed person within it.

"Formation? I want to see how tough your formation is!" The Black-clothed person sneered, summoned his Lifebound Treasure, the Black Scaled Spear, and threw it fiercely.

"Bang!"

The black spear transformed into a sharp black light, instantly piercing through the formation barrier, and the Formation Flags scattered and fell.

"Hmph, utterly useless." The Black-clothed person sneered, then continued to control the black spear Spiritual Treasure to stab at Fang Hong.

"Good timing!"

Seeing the black light approaching, Fang Hong was not afraid; instead, his face lit up with joy. He immediately summoned the fire cloud gourd, which sprayed out red mist, enveloping the incoming black spear Spiritual Treasure.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, the black spear’s light dissipated, corroded and swallowed by the red mist, and finally swept away by the fire cloud gourd.

"Puff!"

The moment the black spear was swept away, the black-clothed man’s body trembled, his eyes widened, and blood appeared on his mask; he was injured.

"My, my Black Scaled Spear! What kind of demonic gourd is that?!" the black-clothed man said in horror.

His connection with his Lifebound Treasure was severed just like that?!
