Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 156 Direct Kill
"It's you?"

When Chen Heichan saw Fang Jingxuan again, he immediately recognized him. The experience from three years ago flooded his mind, which made him feel a sense of absurdity.

What? Three years have passed, and you still won't let me go? When did Qi Yunlai's cultivators become so ruthless?

Fang Jingxuan looked at Chen Heichan, his smile unchanged on the surface, but in his heart he was also filled with emotion.

He knew about the 'Life Concealment Talisman' that Chen Hei Chan had just mentioned. It was a second-tier talisman, originally used to deal with Foundation Establishment cultivators, but for the sake of caution, the Black Hand people used this talisman instead.

This talisman can temporarily obscure the recipient's intuition, thus creating the illusion that nothing has happened.

Regardless of the specific practice, the core of spiritual cultivation lies in communicating with the universe.

Moreover, the cultivator's soul is greatly strengthened through continuous cultivation.

Among ordinary people, there are many with keen intuition who can sense danger when it comes.

This is even more true for cultivators, especially Chen Hei Chan, who is in the late stage of Qi Refining. His innate ability is similar to his own "whim".

From the information Black Hand gave him, Fang Jingxuan already knew Chen Hei Chan's trump card.

If it weren't for the 'Life Concealment Talisman', Chen Hei Chan would most likely have activated his supernatural powers and sensed something was wrong when he approached this place again shortly after leaving the island.

In that case, the battlefield that Fang Jingxuan had painstakingly designed would be rendered useless, and the difficulty of capturing Chen Heichan would be beyond imagination.

In moments concerning their life and death, cultivators with higher levels of cultivation are more likely to have this kind of feeling, especially those cultivators who are well-versed in the Dao and those monks with clear and insightful minds.

Of course, not every cultivator is so intuitive and sharp. Those cultivators who only care about combat power and rely on external things are very slow in this regard. Even when they are about to die, they still look smug.

But Chen Heichan was different; he was very afraid of death, so he lived very cautiously.

However, it was precisely because he had become dependent on his own sensory abilities for so long that he lost the vigilance of an ordinary cultivator. As a result, he was targeted by the people behind the scenes and ended up in such a predicament.

Seeing Chen Heichan like this, Fang Jingxuan felt a little worried. What if someone used the same method to deal with him in the future?

But now was not the time to think about such things. Fang Jingxuan felt there was no need to waste words with Chen Heichan, so after exchanging greetings, he didn't need to listen to what the other party had to say before taking action.

With a roar, Tuoyuan unleashed its Sea-Suppressing Divine Power, which had been amplified threefold. Now, with its increased cultivation level, the protective shield it had erected was so strong that even Foundation Establishment cultivators would find it difficult to break through.

At this moment, seeing Fang Jingxuan make a move, a huge black toad phantom suddenly appeared on Chen Heichan's back. As it opened its mouth, an extremely dense black mist quickly spread over.

"【Black Toad Poison Mist】? It's useless."

Fang Jingxuan chuckled. He had seen this method before. The first time, he was worried about being poisoned, but he later discovered that the poisonous mist could not penetrate Tuoyuan's protective water shield.

"Quack quack!"

Chen Heichan repeatedly activated [Toad Cry Thunder Sound] in an attempt to shake Fang Jingxuan's soul. However, with the improvement of Fang Jingxuan's cultivation, and most importantly, the three years he spent cultivating in the deep sea, his soul was much more resilient than it had been three years ago.

The [Toad's Roar Thunder Sound] that had initially made Fang Jingxuan feel nauseous and vomiting now only made him feel annoyed, losing its previous power.

"Dragon-Subduing Spear, go!"

Seeing that the two supernatural powers were ineffective, Chen Hei Chan summoned a jet-black spear, which suddenly traversed hundreds of meters and slammed heavily into Tuo Yuan's protective shield.

The magical artifact was very fast, and Tuoyuan couldn't dodge it in time, taking the full force of the blow.

However, Tuoyuan no longer needed to hide. Fang Jingxuan glanced at the ripples on the protective shield and then ignored them.

He has now released Liu Gu, and after three years of growth, Liu Gu's abilities have also increased significantly.

White chess pieces appeared in mid-air and then formed a complete chess-style magic.

Just as Chen Heichan's Dragon-Subduing Spear was about to strike for the third time, Fang Jingxuan had a thought, and this chess-style divine power transformed into a white light, striking the Dragon-Subduing Spear.

In an instant, the Dragon-Subduing Spear fell straight down from mid-air, and then a huge water hand reached out and scooped it up, bringing it back to Fang Jingxuan's side.

Fang Jingxuan casually put the Dragon-Subduing Spear into his storage bag. When he looked at Chen Heichan again, he no longer had the anger he had before. His eyes were flashing, clearly indicating that he wanted to escape.

Three years have passed, and Fang Jingxuan's current strength has grown to a level that shocks him.

Three years ago, the two were evenly matched, but now, as soon as Fang Jingxuan made a move, Chen Heichan knew that he had no hope of winning.

Before he could think about why Fang Jingxuan had changed so much, Chen Heichan took advantage of the cover provided by the [Black Toad Poison Mist] and transformed into a streak of light, flying off towards the outside of the island.

However, the surrounding white fog was so thick that Chen Heichan could not discern his location at all.

A few breaths later, Chen Heichan realized that he could not break out of the small island. Upon realizing this, his eyes narrowed and he immediately activated his strongest innate divine ability, [Black Toad Devouring the Sky].

Instantly, an incredibly strong suction force emanated from the black toad phantom behind Chen Heichan, drawing in large swaths of the surrounding white mist and revealing the scenery outside the island.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Chen Heichan immediately amplified the power of this supernatural ability.

But at that moment, endless seawater rose from the sea surface and poured directly into the giant mouth of the black toad phantom.

"You want to devour the heavens, huh? I'll let you devour as much as you want!"

Fang Jingxuan used his powerful magic to cast a low-level water control spell, manipulating a massive amount of seawater and drawing it all in with the suction force.

"Cough cough!"

Chen Hei Chan seemed to be drowning; he only managed to hold on for three breaths before the black toad phantom completely vanished.

Then, Chen Heichan looked again and saw many more black chess pieces appearing in mid-air. These black chess pieces gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Having lost the Dragon-Subduing Spear, all four of his innate divine abilities became ineffective, plunging Chen Heichan into despair.

Faced with such a crisis, he acted decisively and said directly to Fang Jingxuan:

"Master, spare my life! I'm willing to give you all my possessions, just please spare my life."

As a rogue cultivator in the outer seas, Chen Heichan no longer cared about morality or reputation; to survive, he was willing to give up anything.

Fang Jingxuan ignored Chen Heichan's words. "You're confused. You're dead. Everything you have is mine. How can you use my things to bargain with me?"

Seeing that Fang Jingxuan ignored him and only focused on using his supernatural powers, Chen Heichan's face turned crazed. He was about to unleash the Blood Burning Demon Art and prepare to fight to the death.

It's quite normal for a vicious rogue cultivator to possess a demonic, desperate fighting technique.

Chen Hei Chan had just burned his essence blood and gained five times the magical power he had previously gained, but three deep, pitch-black flames, so intense that even one's gaze would sink into them, easily pierced through his protective magic shield, his robes, his skin, and his bones, directly reaching the deepest part of his body.

Then, it will bloom in full glory!
