Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 215 Thousands of miles of attack
Fang Jingxuan was somewhat annoyed with himself at this moment, wondering why he hadn't prepared a top-grade flying magic weapon before.

Only after Liu Gu used four consecutive Rainbow Light Escape techniques was he able to escape from the changes in the Kuai family's protective mountain formation.

However, this did not mean that Fang Jingxuan could rest easy from then on. He could foresee how much hatred the Kuai family would have for him, a rogue cultivator who had taken away the Green Gourd Sword Vine.

Actually, if he had secretly run away, things wouldn't have come to this. However, since he was going to do it, he might as well go all the way. Moreover, Fang Jingxuan was also very envious of this mid-grade fourth-rank spiritual plant. Taking it away would be a way to make up for the seven years he had wasted.

At this moment, Fang Jingxuan could sense that Kuai Wuliang was rapidly catching up behind him.

He first used Rainbow Light Escape to create a twenty-mile distance and seize the initiative, and then summoned an ordinary flying artifact to quickly fly from the sky above towards the distant sea.

When Fang Jingxuan first started planning his escape, he chose the vast and boundless sea as his escape route.

This is because he had spent over ten years in the Chaotic Star Sea, and the Kuai family didn't have much influence there, so Fang Jingxuan still wanted to stay in the Chaotic Star Sea to avoid trouble.

However, to travel from the territory of Qifu City to the Chaotic Star Sea, one must cross the Lianshui Alliance and a section of the border area between Baishan and Nanchu. Fang Jingxuan did not know whether these forces would choose to help Qifu City to surround and intercept him.

Both are forces from the White Mountain region. It's hard to say whether the Spirit Wood Alliance will do them a favor to the Artifact Talisman Alliance. In any case, dealing with a Foundation Establishment cultivator like myself doesn't seem to take much effort. If the Spirit Wood Alliance sets up an ambush ahead, can I still escape danger when I'm already exhausted at Six Bones?
Therefore, after much deliberation, Fang Jingxuan devised two routes.

One option is to venture into the depths of the wilderness, passing through the former territory of the Li Huo Alliance and the Dan Ding Sect, going upstream to the place where he first encountered the Golden Core Golden Cicada, and continuing to venture even deeper.

The Artifact and Talisman Alliance is a Golden Core power with deep roots and a prominent position in the White Mountain. No matter where I hide in the White Mountain, I can no longer guarantee my safety.

In the wilderness, there are many Golden Core demonic beasts and Nascent Soul ancient beasts. They don't care much about the arrival of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but if a Golden Core cultivator dares to trespass, it will be regarded as an attempt to seize territory, and they will definitely fight endlessly.

In this light, the depths of this desolate wilderness are the best place for me to escape danger.

Secondly, they followed the border between Baishan and Nanchumen, diagonally heading towards the depths of the Death Swamp.

The area surrounding Baishan Mountain has many swampy areas that emit a foul stench. These places have little spiritual energy, and ordinary cultivators are unwilling to go there. The key is that the area they occupy is very large, about one-third the size of Baishan Mountain.

In such a place, even ordinary cultivators might not encounter any spiritual creatures with spiritual energy even after flying for more than ten days, hence it is also known as the "useless land".

However, this place is large and provides good cover. The edge of the Death Swamp borders the Wilderness, making it another route into the Wilderness.

Fang Jingxuan hadn't decided which route to take yet, but in any case, he definitely couldn't stay in Baishan.

At this moment, Fang Jingxuan had already noticed that Kuai Wuliang was getting closer and closer behind him. As a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the magical power he cultivated was still somewhat inferior to his own at present.

Moreover, the flying artifact he was using was also of the highest quality. If he continued to waste time, he would definitely be caught up.

However, Fang Jingxuan was not too worried about this, because if he flew another hundred miles, there would be a large river. When he released Tuoyuan and it dived into the deep water, even Kuai Wuliang would be unable to do anything to him.

Kuai Wuliang was getting closer; it seemed he was truly going all out to catch him, disregarding his own energy expenditure.

However, when he was less than ten miles away from Fang Jingxuan, almost reaching the attack limit of three miles, Fang Jingxuan's figure flashed ahead, instantly transforming into a rainbow and shooting ten miles ahead, widening the distance between them once again.

Upon seeing this, Kuai Wuliang nearly vomited blood. With no other option, he could only continue flying forward at full speed.

After instantly creating a ten-mile distance, Fang Jingxuan's expression wasn't particularly joyful. This was because the Six Bones' Rainbow Light Escape technique was almost used up. He had used it twice inside the Sword Spirit Garden, then four more times to penetrate the Kuai family's protective array, and then twice more immediately after emerging to create distance. Adding the one he just used, that makes nine uses in total.

The current limit of the Six Bones is only ten times. If he were to force it to be used again, it would consume the essence of the Six Bones. Fang Jingxuan did not want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

Fortunately, Fang Jingxuan could already sense the water vapor from the great river ahead. Faced with this huge river, which was seven or eight miles wide, even Kuai Wuliang was powerless to force Fang Jingxuan out of the water.

Perhaps sensing Fang Jingxuan's purpose, Kuai Wuliang, who was ten miles away, finally made up his mind. For the future of the Kuai family, he was willing to risk everything.

A burst of spiritual energy erupted from behind Fang Jingxuan. When Fang Jingxuan turned around, he saw that Kuai Wuliang seemed to have teleported, crossing a range of seven or eight miles in a row, and reaching his attack range.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he summoned a top-grade magic weapon, which quickly flew to a mile away from Fang Jingxuan and self-destructed.

'Blood Escape Technique? A magical artifact self-destructing?'

Fang Jingxuan was shocked. Kuai Wuliang was going all out. He was consuming his own essence and self-destructing his main magic weapon. If given the chance, Fang Jingxuan was absolutely certain that Kuai Wuliang would rather die than leave him here.

However, at this moment, Fang Jingxuan had no intention of fighting him to the death. Staying here to compete with Kuai Wuliang would not bring him any benefit. If he were to be held back by Kuai Wuliang, he would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Fang Jingxuan didn't hesitate to use his last chance to transform into a rainbow light escape, and directly transformed into a beam of light once again, rushing into the river ahead.

"Ahhhh!"

"Boom! Boom!"

After entering the water, Fang Jingxuan vaguely heard Kuai Wuliang's roar and the sound of the water exploding. He didn't care about it at all. He directly released Tuoyuan, sat cross-legged on its back, and then the two of them swam quickly forward at a depth of several hundred meters underwater.

Once Tuoyuan entered the water, he was like a fish in water, disappearing in an instant. Kuai Wuliang above also followed suit and dived underwater, but at this moment, Fang Jingxuan's shadow could no longer be seen.

After scanning the underwater area several times with his divine sense, he had to admit that he had failed.

At this moment, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators who were closely following behind felt a pang of sorrow upon seeing this scene. They thought it was hopeless and they should go back and wait for Kuai Tong's wrath.

"No, we can't let this go. The lower reaches of the river are the territory of the Lian Shui Alliance. We need to take out a large number of spirit stones and ask them to send Golden Core cultivators to help us. Then we should ask the Li Huo Alliance and Dan Alliance upstream for help. We must find him!"

Kuai Wuliang's face was flushed. After managing to say these measures, he could no longer hold back and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

"Brother Wuliang!"

"Master Kuai!"

The other three expressed their concern, while Kuai Wuliang, with a sorrowful expression, waved his hand and said:

"What a run of bad luck! First, the Wei family forcibly occupied the spiritual veins of the mountain, giving us another hostile neighbor; then, the Black River Village was plundered, resulting in heavy casualties, and the Qi Yun Gao family took their anger out on us, forcing the Golden Core Ancestor of our alliance to go to the wilderness to hunt down Blood Blade; and now this has happened. What's going on with our Kuai family?"

The north wept, and no one could answer his question. Only the great river flowed ceaselessly, as it always had, as it had for a thousand years.
