Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#263 - Chapter 262: A sharp turn for the worse

Time ticked by, and Zhang Yuanjing, hidden in the earth, couldn't help but feel anxious.

In recent times, the Core Formation cultivators he had encountered, though only from mid-tier sects, were mostly powerful individuals. Even someone like Chen Yingxin in the early stage was quite difficult to deal with.

Today, he was about to engage in a great battle with the Core Formation cultivators of the Spirit Control Sect, and he only regretted not having a late-stage or even a perfected Core Formation cultivation, so that he could display his divine power, defeat the enemies, and rescue the two apes.

At this moment, a cool sensation emanated from the umbrella jade on his chest, instantly clearing his mind. The anxiety in his heart also vanished.

He took a deep breath and calmed his mind. Cultivation couldn't be rushed, and powerful enemies wouldn't wait for him to become stronger before appearing. He always had to find a way to fight and retreat. With a thought, he transmitted a few words to Ape Thirteen.

Ape Thirteen, who was fighting fiercely on the ground, trembled and his eyes revealed a fierce glint. He wildly swung his cudgel hundreds of times, forcing back all the surrounding enemies, and then ran out for more than ten zhang, but was quickly trapped by the strongest cultivator with some kind of strange lightning technique, and eventually fell into encirclement again.

A cultivator laughed loudly, "Sect Master, this beast is almost at its limit. It's too late to escape now!"

Another cultivator also said with a smile, "Congratulations, Sect Master, for capturing this ape. You will be even more powerful. Below the Nascent Soul stage, you will be invincible!"

The strongest cultivator grunted and said with a proud air, "This ape has been able to withstand our attrition warfare for several days, which is quite powerful. It is probably an ancient species with a powerful bloodline inheritance. If we can successfully breed it, it will definitely become a great asset to our Spirit Control Sect in the future!"

The others echoed in agreement.

Ape Twelve was very anxious and roared several times. However, Ape Thirteen seemed to have exhausted its strength in the previous breakout, and was unable to do anything more. The golden light on its body gradually faded, and after half an hour, only a thin layer remained, making it difficult to sustain.

At this moment, the strongest cultivator in the field, who was also the Sect Master of the Spirit Control Sect, Bao Xueyang, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a grim smile appeared on his face: "Fire Crow Daoist? Seeking death!"

A cultivator asked, "What does the Sect Master mean?"

Bao Xueyang sneered, "It's that Fire Crow Daoist who has entered the late stage of Core Formation, coming here, along with that Azure-Eyed Suanni beast. I don't know what Lao Yu and You Fangming are doing!"

A cultivator said, "I will ask Senior Brother Yu with a sound transmission jade!"

Bao Xueyang ignored him and ordered, "Fang Chu, Fang Gu, quickly kill and subdue that golden ape. When the Fire Crow Daoist arrives, the two of you, together with Fang Hong, will meet the Fire Crow Daoist. My spirit beasts will deal with that Azure-Eyed Suanni beast! Fellow Daoist White Tiger, you and I will still deal with this golden ape!"

Of the eight Core Formation cultivators of the Spirit Control Sect, besides Bao Xueyang and Yu Zhan who were older generation Core Formation cultivators, the other six were all Fang-generation advanced cultivators. This time entering Dragon Mountain Marsh, four of the Fang-generation came, and only two early-stage Core Formation cultivators were left in the sect. These four, besides You Fangming, were mid-stage Core Formation cultivator Xu Fangchu, Qian Fanghong, and early-stage Core Formation cultivator Ji Fanggu.

There was also one person in the field, the White Tiger Daoist of Qiu Mountain, whom Zhang Yuanjing had met once. For some reason, he had been recruited by Bao Xueyang.

Hearing Bao Xueyang's not-so-polite words, the man's attitude was very respectful, and he immediately responded, "I will follow the Sect Master's orders."

Zhang Yuanjing, hearing Bao Xueyang's words from within the earth, couldn't help but feel troubled. According to his agreement with the Fire Crow Daoist, he was to ambush the Core Formation cultivators besieging Ape Twelve and rescue it. Now, the Spirit Control Sect's Core Formation cultivators were about to strike a heavy blow against Ape Twelve, and it was likely that Ape Twelve would collapse before the Fire Crow Daoist arrived.

Just as he was hesitating, the originally listless Ape Twelve suddenly shouted loudly, its body surging with blood energy, enveloping its body like a red mist, and enduring the attacks of two magical treasures, it lunged at Xu Fangchu. This person was startled and quickly moved to the side.

However, Ape Twelve did not chase him, but instead crashed into the White Tiger Daoist behind him.

The White Tiger Daoist was shocked, and waved his hand to summon a piece of tattered armor in the shape of a cyan bark, blocking it in front of him, while quickly retreating a few steps.

Seeing that a corner of the encirclement against Ape Thirteen was missing, Bao Xueyang frowned, and slapped his spirit beast pouch. A monster that looked like a fox and a rat leaped out and rolled towards Ape Thirteen's feet.

Ape Twelve punched out, smashing open the White Tiger Daoist's tattered armor, and strode towards Bao Xueyang.

Seeing that this ferocious ape's eyes were dull, relying entirely on a surge of blood energy, Bao Xueyang's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to throw a fire bullet radiating light, hitting Ape Twelve's head.

Ape Twelve screamed wildly, without dodging or evading, and punched out, hitting the fire bullet. Amidst a "boom", Ape Twelve was blasted to the ground, half of its arm was charred black, the hair on its body was also burned in a mess, its breath was weak, and its life was in danger.

Ape Thirteen was first stunned, and then became furious. It mustered its remaining strength and attacked Bao Xueyang. However, the three spirit beasts released by this person, the one that looked like a fox and a rat, bit its calf tightly, and an unknown toxin spread into its blood, while a bull and a bear stood firmly in front, fighting it fearlessly.

Ape Thirteen went mad, completely abandoning its defense, and swung the Mixed Heaven Cudgel to smash and chop at the bull and bear monsters in front of it, killing them with blood splattering and wailing constantly.

However, under Bao Xueyang's urging, the two beasts did not dodge or evade, and endured the Mixed Heaven Cudgel, fighting Ape Thirteen in a group, occasionally slapping its chest and back, and kicking it with their hooves.

The White Tiger Daoist, Qian Fanghong, Xu Fangchu, and Ji Fanggu were all shocked for a short time, and then they all surrounded and attacked.

Ape Thirteen's remaining strength was rapidly consumed, and more and more wounds appeared on its body, golden blood flowed out, and its blood energy continued to weaken.

Zhang Yuanjing quickly made a decision when Ape Twelve charged, and went straight to the ground.

He had agreed with Ape Thirteen to show weakness, and then launch a sudden attack when the Fire Crow Daoist arrived, and break through the encirclement together.

Unfortunately, because the Spirit Control Sect was going to kill Ape Twelve because of the arrival of the Fire Crow Daoist, and Ape Twelve wanted to make a final fight to buy Ape Thirteen a chance to escape, the situation in the field was disrupted, and the situation was much worse than before.

However, just as he entered thirty zhang underground, he suddenly had a feeling of being targeted by a natural enemy, as if some kind of deadly danger was nearby.

With a thought, the Origin Stone floated out of his dantian and transformed into stone armor to cover his body.

At that moment, the stone armor outside his head and neck was nailed by something very hard. The movement was not loud, but it was extremely clear in the silent deep earth.

He was shocked, cold sweat seeped out of his forehead, and he immediately stopped in the earth, and his divine sense contracted, focusing on searching the surrounding ten zhang range.

At this time, a worm beast like a blood-colored ribbon appeared in the soil six zhang away from him.

It stared with a pair of blue eyes, and its extremely cold gaze shot towards where he was. Although there was thick soil separating them, Zhang Yuanjing could still clearly feel the beast's fierce and vicious gaze.

He did not dare to be careless, and communicated with the Origin Stone with his divine sense, and his mana quickly poured into it to strengthen the stone armor.

Seeing that Zhang Yuanjing was prepared, the beast did not attack, but lay there, closing its eyes. After a few breaths, it disappeared from Zhang Yuanjing's divine sense.

Zhang Yuanjing suddenly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He knew that the beast had not left, but had a soil-based talent and could rely on the soil to avoid the divine sense of cultivators.

For a time, he was in a dilemma.
