Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 443: What Is He Trying to Do?

Outside the capital, the Spirit Blood Sect cultivators had been stopped, and the situation was reversed. From hunters, they had turned into prey.

The situation inside the capital was roughly the same. At this point, about three-fourths of the external threats had been dealt with, and the remaining ones were at the hunting ground.

Nong Guiquan walked out of the shadows and approached Fang Chen. "Lord Fang, I've killed quite a few people this time. Do you have enough spirit stones prepared?"

He was covered in wounds. Both his hands were stained in both his and his enemies' blood, so he had a fierce appearance to him right now.

Fang Chen smiled. "Let me see."

Nong Guiquan handed Fang Chen a storage ring filled with heads. There were at least a hundred of them.

Fang Chen nodded lightly and handed Nong Guiquan a few storage rings. "The owners of these rings are Golden Core Realm cultivators from the Spirit Blood Sect. The items inside should be enough to settle the bill. If they're not enough, we'll settle the rest after this matter is concluded. If you end up in the underworld and we can't settle it, I'll find a way to. That's my rule."

Nong Guiquan nodded and took the rings, then turned and left. After he left, Fang Chen blended back into the shadows and returned to the hunting ground. Just then, a loud bang seemed to explode in his ears.

The black mist dispersed!

Everyone's gaze turned toward the source of the sound. They saw Immortal Void Rush, Immortal White Tiger, and Supreme Expert Dragon Wood all covered in a fierce fire, their expressions pale.

A trace of blood mist continuously drifted out from within them and was absorbed by the flames. As the flames absorbed the blood mist, they became uncontrollable, growing hotter and hotter.

"What is this...?" someone muttered to themselves."Are the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators getting refined alive?"

Immediately, the gaze of the crowd fell on Kunlong Battle General. He was clad in a black robe, wearing a mask that made his features indiscernible.

"All of you, set up the Divine Blood Spirit Refining Formation and assist me in refining these three individuals," said an indifferent voice.

The expressions of Qian Wuji and others changed. In the next moment, the other two grand completion stage Golden Core Realm, along with their remaining Golden Core Realm disciples, all rushed behind him and sat down one after another.

Before long, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from them, interweaving with each other and finally turning into a blazing sea of fire, engulfing everything around and shrouding the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators within! As they joined in, the expressions of the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators became increasingly full of pain.

"When these three get completely refined, your time to die will also arrive," Qian Wuji said coldly as he glanced at Fang Tingjian and the others.

The reason he didn't set up the formation was obvious; it was to prevent Fang Tingjian and his group from interfering.

"Now is the time!" The female sword cultivator suddenly made a move.

A terrifying sword intent surged like a mighty wave, transforming into a ray of sword light aimed directly at Qian Wuji!

Qian Wuji sneered. He had long noticed her existence and had been on guard against her.

"Even if you are a sword cultivator, you are only at the early-stage Golden Core Realm. Don’t think that your sword inheritance is truly invincible!" Qian Wuji sneered as vast spiritual energy surged around him, and a crimson flag appeared in front of him. A streak of red light surged out, intertwining with the sword light.

The female sword cultivator's expression changed as she issued a cold shout. "Everyone, attack together!"

With her reminder, Fang Wanli and the others quickly reacted and used their techniques.

Qian Wuji completely ignored this group of people and displayed his Five Element Controlling Technique to conjure fire dragons that blocked Fang Wanli and others' attacks easily.

At the early or even the mid-stage Golden Core Realm, their attacks indeed had little effect on him. At most, they could only help the female sword cultivator consume some of Qian Wuji's spiritual energy. Other than that, they were of no use.

"You can seize using the Dragon Bone Heavenly Lantern temporarily," Fang Chen's voice appeared in Dongfang Haojie’s ear.

Dongfang Haojie was slightly startled and quickly stopped the transfer of spiritual energy. The green light around them immediately flowed back into the Dragon Bone Sky Lantern like water.

The crowd was startled at first, then quickly realized that they were temporarily safe.

Except for Qian Wuji, the other Gold Core Realm cultivators had gone to help the Spirit Blood Sect's Nascent Soul Realm refine Immortal Void Rush and the others. As for Qian Wuji, he was now besieged by the female sword cultivator and the other Golden Core Realm cultivators, unable to spare a hand to deal with them.

Some people's eyes flickered, and they turned to escape from the hunting ground, while others stayed behind. They knew that if these Golden Core Realm cultivators didn't die today and that Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Spirit Blood Sect wasn't dealt with, no one would survive.

"My lord, has the situation outside been stabilized?" Fairy Yu's voice sounded in Fang Chen's ear.

"More or less, only some remnants are fleeing," Fang Chen replied with a slight nod.

Fairy Yu let out a deep sigh of relief. “That’s good....”

However, the crisis before them was far from resolved. Qian Wuji, relying on the crimson blood flag, could effortlessly deal with her senior sister and other Gold Core Realm cultivators like Fang Wanli. If even Qian Wuji couldn't handle it, how could they resolve the crisis involving the three Nascent Soul realm cultivators?

Fang Chen observed with his divine soul as he watched the battle unfold before him. “This flag is a peak-grade, yellow-rank treasure. Qian Wuji can use it to fight across realms, but it should also be depleting his lifespan."

Similar to how ordinary cultivators would deplete their own lifespan by using treasures beyond their cultivation realms, Qian Wuji's recklessness was evident and he was likely to rely on Blood Spirit Pills.

With this thought in mind, Fang Chen didn't intervene in the battle but instead walked towards the group of Golden Core Realm cultivators. Qian Wuji seemed to notice this and attempted to drag the battle in Fang Chen's direction, but he was intercepted by the female sword cultivator.

The female cultivator's mind was full of doubt. What is he trying to do? With his cultivation, he can't even harm those Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Someone was quicker than Fang Chen, and that was Fang Tingjian. Instead of attacking Qian Wuji, he manipulated his flying sword to strike at the group of Golden Core Realm cultivators. At the same time, the eyes beneath the mask of the Kunlong Battle General glanced slowly at Fang Tingjian with an indifferent gaze as if he were an ant.

A trace of aura surged from him, enveloping the nearby Spirit Blood Sect's Golden Core Realm cultivators. As Fang Tingjian's flying sword approached, it encountered endless resistance, and he was unable to advance even a tiny bit in midair!

“Haha! You can't stop the footsteps of our Spirit Blood Sect!”

Qian Wuji burst into laughter and focused on dealing with the female sword cultivator and the others.

“How can this be....”

The crowd was somewhat dazed as a hint of despair appeared in their eyes. Even a late stage Golden Core Realm cultivator like Fang Tingjian couldn't do anything!

Fang Tingjian's face was pale, as if this sword had depleted all his strength. His body swayed as if he was about to fall, but a hand steadied him.

Fang Chen said softly, “Ancestor Tingjian, take a rest. Let me try,”

“You?” Fang Tingjian was slightly surprised, but he nodded lightly. “Go ahead.”

“What is Fang Chen trying to do!?”

"Even Golden Core Realm cultivators can't shake this formation at all, not to mention a Qi Refining Realm cultivator like him...."

The crowd's expressions were strange as they silently watched Fang Chen approach the group of Golden Core Realm cultivators.

At the same time, many cultivators poured into the hunting ground. It was Abbess Zhu Yue and her group, Fang Jue and his group, Li Daoye and his group, and Xia Ji.

Sui Nianhua’s eyes revealed a hint of confusion. “What is this person trying to do?”

Fairy Tianyin looked at Dongfang Haojie. "Do you know him? What is he trying to do?"

“How would I know.... But... he should have some tricks up his sleeve...” Dongfang Haojie muttered.
