Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 71: I’ll borrow them for a bit

"Kid, you just wait!" the bald youth cursed, his face full of anger.

He manipulated two flying daggers, sending them fiercely towards Fang Hong.

The flying daggers cut two red lines through the air, moving extremely fast, carrying a sharp aura.

Seeing this, Fang Hong calmly summoned his Fire Dragon Short Sword to meet the attack.

Daggers and sword clashed, sparks flew, emitting a ’ding-ding-dang-dang’ sound.

The bald youth grew anxious, realizing Fang Hong was not easy to deal with.

He gritted his teeth, then patted a green pouch at his waist.

Suddenly, a green shadow darted out from within.

Fang Hong focused his gaze and saw it was a leopard covered in green fur.

This leopard was robust, with strong, powerful limbs, and a decent aura; it was a Level 3 Demonic Beast.

Fang Hong recognized this leopard; it was called a ’Green Shadow Leopard,’ a Demonic Beast known for its speed.

At this moment, it had been summoned by the bald youth, likely his carefully cultivated Spiritual Beast.

The Green Shadow Leopard’s eyes glinted fiercely, staring menacingly at Fang Hong.

"Roar!" The Green Shadow Leopard let out a low growl, and after receiving its master’s command, instantly pounced on Fang Hong.

With several "swoosh-swoosh" sounds, its figure left behind faint green afterimages, its speed astonishing.

As expected of a Demonic Beast known for its speed, Fang Hong only felt a green blur flash before his eyes. Before he could fully react, he felt a tremendous force collide with his body.

"Bang!" Fang Hong, caught off guard, was directly sent flying several feet.

Fortunately, he had previously consumed Heavenly Body fruit, and his physical body was now tough enough. He only felt a dull ache in his chest and did not sustain any substantial injury.

He quickly stabilized himself, staring at the Green Shadow Leopard, his heart secretly on guard.

"Heh heh, kid, since you won’t willingly submit, then I’ll teach you a lesson!" The bald youth laughed triumphantly when he saw Fang Hong sent flying.

The Green Shadow Leopard roared and pounced again like a gust of wind, its speed even greater than before.

At the same time, the bald youth was not idle, manipulating the two red flying daggers to shoot towards Fang Hong, aiming directly for his vital points.

Fang Hong’s eyes were calm. He quickly pulled two speed talismans from his storage bag and slapped them onto his body.

In an instant, his speed dramatically increased, and he easily dodged the attacks from both the Green Shadow Leopard and the flying daggers.

In the moment of evasion, he keenly seized the Green Shadow Leopard’s opening in its attack, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He let out a loud shout and punched the Green Shadow Leopard’s head.

"Bang!"

With a loud explosion, the Green Shadow Leopard’s head was directly shattered by the immense force of Fang Hong’s punch, blood splattering and brains bursting!

Its body lost its support, and with a "thump," it instantly collapsed to the ground, becoming a headless corpse, its limbs still twitching slightly before gradually falling still.

"My, my Green Shadow Leopard!!!" The bald youth’s triumphant expression suddenly changed upon seeing this scene.

"A mere Level 3 Spiritual Beast, utterly worthless..." Fang Hong said indifferently, his tone full of disdain.

This Green Shadow Leopard only had the strength comparable to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage; it wasn’t even enough for one punch from him...

"Damn it! You actually killed my Spiritual Beast!" The bald youth was furious, trembling with anger.

He had spent considerable resources cultivating this Green Shadow Leopard, and now it had been killed by a single punch from Fang Hong. How could he not be enraged?

Fang Hong ignored the bald youth’s anger, brandishing the Fire Dragon Short Sword in his hand, accurately deflecting the flying daggers shot by the bald youth.

Afterward, he no longer held back his strength, immediately pulling a Thunder Thorn Talisman from his storage bag and fully activating it.

The purple electric arcs on the Thunder Thorn Talisman once again flickered, emitting a "sizzle-sizzle" sound, and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations continuously spread outwards.

"An advanced Talisman!" The bald youth’s face changed again. He disregarded his anger and quickly placed his triangular shield in front of him.

"Zzzzt!" A purple lightning bolt shot out from the Thunder Thorn Talisman, striking fiercely against the triangular shield.

With a loud "boom," a powerful impact instantly sent the bald youth flying.

His triangular shield, pierced by the Thunder Thorn Talisman, shattered completely with a "crack." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Bang bang bang..." The bald youth’s body tumbled repeatedly on the ground, spitting blood, and bloodstains appeared on his chest, indicating he was severely wounded.

Fortunately, the shield had blocked most of the attack, saving his life.

The bald youth knew his situation was dangerous. He quickly pulled out a few healing pills from his storage bag, swallowed them, and attempted to alleviate his injuries.

"Strike while the iron’s hot!" How could Fang Hong give him a chance to heal? He once again took out a Thunder Thorn Talisman from his storage bag and activated it without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, the bald youth’s face turned to extreme horror.

He quickly manipulated the two flying daggers to attack Fang Hong, attempting to interrupt his spellcasting.

The flying daggers wobbled through the air towards Fang Hong, their speed noticeably slower than before.

But it was already too late. The purple lightning shot out again, instantly severing the two flying daggers.

Immediately after, the lightning did not pause, directly piercing through the bald youth’s chest.

"Ah!" The bald youth let out a tragic scream, his body crashing heavily to the ground, a bloody hole in his chest, his eyes wide in death.

Fang Hong flashed next to the corpse, skillfully took the bald youth’s storage bag, then quickly used his demon gourd to absorb his and the Green Shadow Leopard’s bodies, refining them into spirit pills.

After completing all this, Fang Hong did not immediately check the storage bag. Instead, he hurried to the pond and harvested the three Yuan Gathering Flowers.

After harvesting, Fang Hong also explored the nearby cave but found nothing of value before turning and leaving the scene.

...

Fang Hong arrived beneath a large tree, took out the bald youth’s storage bag, and began to inspect it carefully.

He discovered that the bald youth had two storage bags on him: one was a normal storage bag, and the other was a green storage bag.

Fang Hong guessed that the green one was specifically used to house Spiritual Beasts.

He opened the green storage bag and carefully probed it with his Divine Sense, but found no Spiritual Beasts inside. It seemed the Green Shadow Leopard was the bald youth’s only Spiritual Beast.

He put away the spiritual beast storage bag, then continued to examine the other storage bag...

The harvest was quite good, containing over eight hundred spirit stones and sixty spirit medicines.

Moreover, Fang Hong was pleasantly surprised to discover that among these spirit medicines, he had gathered all the necessary ingredients for refining Solid Essence Pills.

He could refine Solid Essence Pills after returning, which would be of immense help for his breakthrough to the Core Formation Stage.

Besides these, the bald youth had nothing else particularly valuable.

Fang Hong put away the storage bag, stood up, and continued searching for spirit medicines in the forest, hunting Demonic Beasts along the way...
