Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 222 Nothing special! [Requesting monthly votes]

As they were speaking, the six-armed demon behind Jiang Hong suddenly lowered one arm, protecting him while also pinching Ji Yuan's Frost Flowing Sword between his fingers.

Not moving.

"He's really got some skill. What kind of evil technique is this..." Ji Yuan became more and more cautious. Then, another Canglan Flying Sword prototype flew out, streaking across the air and nailing into the six-armed demon's finger.

"laugh--"

A flash of crimson light appeared, and the finger was smashed and vanished inch by inch.

The Frost Flowing Sword broke free of control.

The flying sword embryo touched the ground and left without lingering for a moment.

A flying sword like Frost Flowing Blade is fine if it's destroyed, but if the sword's embryo is damaged, the impact on oneself will be much greater.

Ji Yuan tested Jiang Hong's strength with two moves, but failed to ascertain the extent of his opponent's abilities. He only knew that the demonic art Jiang Hong cultivated was extremely powerful.

Once the fight began, Jiang Hong stopped wasting words.

He held the blood-red blade in both hands and raised it high. Then, the demonic phantom behind him also grasped a blood-red blade. In that instant, the hairs on Ji Yuan's back stood on end.

The Black Demon Armor was activated.

The Five Elements Protective Talisman Array is activated once again.

At the same time, he leaned back and dissipated into black mist, but was forced to condense again by the formation in an instant. Fortunately, he was able to retreat to the edge of the formation.

If Jiang Hong dares to strike with this blade, it will definitely damage the formation.

"hehe."

As the mocking laughter rang in Ji Yuan's ears, the blood-red blade in the six-armed demon's hand suddenly scattered, transforming into countless tiny blood-red blades that surrounded and attacked Ji Yuan from all directions.

"go!"

Ji Yuan reached out from his sleeves and grasped dozens of attack talismans in each hand.

Then, without saying a word, he threw it out.

The talisman clashed with the blood blade, and chaos erupted in the air.

Ji Yuan urged Feng Huai to press down, and in the blink of an eye he arrived at an open space on the ground. As he put away Feng Huai, he also grabbed the Thousand Soul Banner on his back.

He gripped the Thousand Soul Banner with both hands, sensing the immense Yin energy within it, and swept it left and right a few times.

Countless gray shadows flew out again, heading towards Jiang Hong in mid-air.

Around Ji Yuan, countless ghostly spirits appeared, making him appear like a world-destroying demon. He grinned maliciously and said, "Fellow Daoist, it's dangerous outside. Why don't you come and take refuge inside my Human Emperor Banner?!"

"Arrogant!"

Jiang Hong roared and jumped straight down from the sky. The six-armed demon behind him stopped in place, and blood-red flames suddenly ignited on its body.

Those ghosts that had pounced on it, intending to bite it to death, were burned to ashes like moths to a flame.

With a thought, Ji Yuan quickly stopped the remaining Yin spirits. Since they couldn't devour the six-armed demon, there was no need to send them to their deaths.

Jiang Hong landed lightly, and as he made a hand seal, three phantom tigers reappeared around him.

The tiger crouched on the ground, exerting force with all four limbs, and pounced straight at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan stepped back and activated the Bloodstained Blade once more.

Suddenly, a blood-red dragon flew out from behind him and met the three fierce tigers.

The four meet.

The blood dragon conjured by the Blood Remnant Blade was no match for the three fierce tigers. It barely lasted a breath before being pinned to the ground by the three tigers.

"Let's go again."

As the Frost Flowing Sword flew out, the Mirage Needle followed closely behind, with the Cloud Palace Sword Embryo trailing behind.

In an instant.

A mist rose up over a radius of one mile, enveloping Jiang Hong.

Ji Yuan stood outside the mist. The Thousand Soul Banner had returned to his back at some point, and what appeared in his hand in the next place was the Mountain-Breaking Halberd.

He gripped it with both hands and thrust it forward with a sudden force.

It can shatter mountains with a single strike!

Despite employing numerous methods, the three illusory tigers, along with the blood-red dragon, vanished in less than a breath.

With a thought, Ji Yuan retrieved the Cloud Palace Sword Embryo.

Just as the mirage needle was about to pierce Jiang Hong's brow, a sword suddenly appeared in front of him.

A three-foot-long sword, entirely blue and red.

The hilt was made from an infant's head, and the blade had no blood grooves, only five small swords emerging on each side.

There are ten handles in total.

The moment he drew the longsword, ten smaller swords detached from its blade, forming a small sword array in front of him.

The mirage needle was trapped.

However, within the time it takes to breathe, the mirage needle... is gone.

Ji Yuan refined the Mirage Needle and could clearly sense that it had disappeared.

Although it wasn't his natal magic weapon, losing it wouldn't have caused him any real harm, but this strange and unpredictable method still surprised him.

Mother and child swords.

Although he didn't know its exact name, Ji Yuan could recognize the origin of the sword.

With the main sword in hand, there are ten smaller swords left that can form a sword formation.

"Even a low-grade spiritual weapon couldn't last a breath; this bastard is probably going to go all out."

As Ji Yuan's divine sense swept across the storage bag, the surrounding Yin ghosts gradually flew back to his side.

The crimson flames on the six-armed demon's body extinguished, and its already indistinct form became even dimmer before transforming into a streak of light and flying back to Jiang Hong.

The blood-red flames that had vanished instead ignited on Jiang Hong's body.

In this way, the Thousand Soul Banner, which relies on sheer numbers, becomes less effective.

Not only that, but bloody hands also emerged from the ground that had been cleared by the evil spirits, and blood rain slowly dripped from the sky shrouded by the array.

Ji Yuan was protected by yin spirits and was still unharmed.

But he discovered that the blood raindrops, when they fell to the ground, instantly corroded a deep pit.

"It seems the power of this formation is far more than this."

Ji Yuan loosely grasped his right hand.

Another black banner appeared in his hand.

Yin Ghost Banner, appear!

In an instant, a thick black mist surged out from the Yin Ghost Banner, almost instantly engulfing Ji Yuan. The Yin spirits, which had been somewhat weakened by the blood rain, immediately rushed into the mist and became active again.

Like a fish in water.

As the Yin Ghost Banner appeared, the Yin Ghost Formation began to devour the blood-red formation in the area.

As the master of the formation, Jiang Hong naturally sensed it immediately.

"You're a formation master too?!"

Jiang Hong's voice carried a clear hint of surprise and astonishment.

Among alchemy, array formations, and talismans, array masters are among the rarest.

Jiang Hong remembered how happy her mother was when she showed her talent for array formations.

But now, Qiu Qianhai, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, not only has so many tricks up his sleeve, but he is also a formation master... It seems that I have really met my match today!

Ji Yuan planted the Yin Ghost Flag in the ground with his backhand. As the continuous Yin energy devoured everything in all directions, he took out a small iron box from his storage bag and threw it next to the Yin Ghost Flag.

The tin box grew larger as it caught the wind, and in the time it took to breathe, it became the size of a room.

However, Ji Yuan did not rush to activate the effect of the [Array Room].

The Stardust Illusion Killing Array is not like this Yin Ghost Array. It can be released in an instant. Ji Yuan plans to save it as a killing move that can kill Jiang Hong in one strike. Even if it can't kill Jiang Hong, it can at least break his array.

It's too late to say.

The instant the Yin Ghost Formation appeared, Jiang Hong handed over the Blood Infant Mother-Child Sword in his hand.

With the main sword in hand, ten smaller swords flew out and charged straight into the Yin Ghost Formation.

"Jingle bells."

A series of sounds rang out from within the Yin Ghost Array. Jiang Hong, using the array and the Mother-Child Swords, could see them clearly... Qiu Qianhai then took out a giant bronze cauldron.

It was a bronze cauldron of superior spiritual weapon grade, which instantly suppressed the ten swords within it.

"Spiritual artifacts, just how many of those do you have?!"

Jiang Hong was enraged upon seeing this. From the Bone-Melting Claw he used at the Wei family's place, to the Frost-Flowing Flying Sword, flying needles, halberd, and the precious armor he wore...

Having many magical artifacts is one thing.

Moreover, when using this magical artifact, it seems that there is no loss at all, and one's own spiritual energy is not affected in the slightest.

So, while manipulating the mother and child swords to carve the town, Jiang Hong took out a... talisman.

The talisman revealed a large sword, and its appearance was exactly the same as the large sword he had used before.

Once the talisman was activated, an extremely strong wave of energy emanated from it.

The moment Ji Yuan sensed the talisman, he took it out of his storage bag without hesitation.

Conquest Treasure - Giant Deer Sword!

With the activation of the two talismans, Jiang Hong retrieved his mother-and-child swords.

Ji Yuan also retrieved the inverted golden-eared cauldron, which had been corroded and thinned.

I felt a slight pang of regret.

"Boy, you have so many spiritual artifacts, you know formations, and you even have talismans... could it be that you also have a Nascent Soul stage mother?"

In the distance, a blood-red broadsword slowly condensed above Jiang Hong's head.

Above Ji Yuan's head was a giant blue sword.

Upon hearing Jiang Hong's words, the first person that came to his mind was Hua Yaoyue... Her master was probably also at the Nascent Soul stage, but unfortunately, she wasn't his mother!

Once the two talismans were activated, all other methods seemed somewhat inadequate.

Ji Yuan retrieved the remaining Yin spirits; there was no need to let them sacrifice themselves in vain.

He also put the Yin Ghost Flag that he had just planted into his storage bag.

Jiang Hong then put away the mother and child swords.

Seeing that they were all about to use their talismans, Ji Yuan took out a pot of wine from his storage bag and took a swig.

Instantly, the spiritual energy in his dantian seemed to be ignited, burning brightly and his aura suddenly soared.

Such an obvious change naturally did not escape Jiang Hong's notice.

Seeing this, he finally felt much relieved... He started taking drugs, which meant he really couldn't hold on for much longer. It seemed he had reached his limit.

After a moment's thought, the blood-red broadsword above his head slashed down.

Ji Yuan also activated the Giant Deer Sword to intercept the greatsword.

The two collided in mid-air.

"boom--"

The spiritual light emanating from the talisman clashed head-on, spreading outwards and causing the entire formation to tremble three times.

Ji Yuan and Jiang Hong were also thrown back by the raging energy.

Even Ji Yuan, who had just established his physical foundation, felt his blood and qi churning within him. Jiang Hong, on the other hand, was struck by a flash of azure light that instantly healed all his injuries.

"Again!"

Jiang Hong grinned maliciously and activated the talismanic greatsword once more...

Swords clashed, each strike more ferocious than the last.

At the same time, Ji Yuan was secretly shocked. Fortunately, he had just activated his "Peerless" skill, otherwise the Giant Deer Sword would not have been able to withstand the greatsword.

After all, talismans themselves are not ranked in terms of superiority or inferiority, but the magical artifacts used to create talismans are ranked in terms of superiority or inferiority.

Clearly, the Giant Deer Sword is inferior to this blood-red broadsword; it was only after Ji Yuan drank the Peerless Wine that it could barely hold its own.

After exchanging blows more than ten times, the talismanic treasures and swords were already in grave danger, and even the blood-red array had many cracks, almost collapsing.

After another round of mutual attacks.

With a loud "boom," the swords and blades finally shattered, but even so, an extremely powerful aura still swept out in all directions.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Ji Yuan leaped backward several times and arrived at the edge of the formation.

The Yin Ghost Flag that he had previously put away was planted in the ground again, and the Yin Ghost Array spread out in all directions once more.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Jiang Hong take out a talisman from his storage bag.

It was no longer the blood-red broadsword of before.

No, this won't do. Although I also have talismans, using them any longer will only lead to mutual depletion... As Ji Yuan thought this, he took out another talisman from his storage bag.

A thousand-layered chain.

Whether or not it is used, the first thing is that the momentum cannot be weak.

As Ji Yuan produced his second talisman, Jiang Hong hesitated.

If one person has a talisman and the other doesn't, then it's a complete rout.

But if both people have it, then it's the same as neither of them having it.

Just like before.

He paused only slightly, and Ji Yuan seized the opportunity, flicking his right hand to throw a child out.

The Yin Child, standing on a skull, instantly appeared in front of Jiang Hong.

"scare--"

Jiang Hong reacted instantly. Just as he was thinking of retreating, he heard the sound of a bell ringing.

"Ring ring—"

Yin Tongzi shook the Seven Fiends Infant Crying Bell in his hand.

Back when they were in Ghost Seeking Pool, even someone as strong as Ji Yuan was momentarily captivated by the Baby Crying Bell.

Not to mention Jiang Hong, whose soul had not been blessed.

So when he heard the bell, he froze.

good chance!

Ji Yuan originally intended to throw out a Heavenly Thunderbolt, but that was too slow.

Three Canglan sword embryos emerged from his dantian and arrived in front of Jiang Hong in the blink of an eye.

"laugh--"

Just as Jiang Hong was recovering from the piercing pain in his soul, he saw the three flying swords that had already appeared in front of him.

His eyes widened involuntarily, and then he heard a slight sound.

"Click—"

The jade pendant he was wearing on his chest shattered at just the right moment.

Fortunately, it managed to withstand the three flying swords in front of it.

continue!

With a thought, Ji Yuan summoned two more Yin Ghosts that flew out from the Yin Ghost Flag and came to Jiang Hong. They wrapped their arms around his arms, one on each side, as if trying to tear him in two.

In addition, there are three sword blanks that keep moving back and forth.

Almost instantly, the battle, which had been evenly matched, turned into a disadvantage for Jiang Hong.

But Ji Yuan did not relax in the slightest. The methods of a Nascent Soul cultivator could not possibly be limited to this!

Jiang Hong sensed everything around him, his face turning extremely gloomy.

"court death!"

Jiang Hong gritted his teeth and said, word by word.

The moment his voice fell, Ji Yuan saw the crimson flames on his body suddenly leap up.

He felt as if he had turned into a fireball, scorching everything in his body.

The two ghosts that were originally pulling him away were instantly transformed into yin energy and disappeared under the scorching of the blood-red flames.

Ji Yuan knew something was wrong and quickly retrieved the three sword blanks.

"A corpse puppet, is it!"

"You're the only one with a corpse puppet?"

As Jiang Hong spoke, two streaks of blood-red light flew out from his sleeves and landed in front of Yin Tongzi, surrounding him from the left and right.

The two blood-stained female corpses looked almost identical.

Twins!

Both are in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

"run!"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Yin Tongzi hurriedly activated the skull beneath his feet and flew away into the distance.

The two blood-stained female corpses each wielded a willow-leaf throwing knife, following closely behind.

"Again."

As Jiang Hong spoke, a crimson python emerged from his sleeve. At first, it was only as thick as a chopstick, but after landing, it transformed into a giant python as thick as a water bucket.

Judging from its cultivation level, Ji Yuan realized it was actually a late-stage second-tier demon beast!

Jiang Hong leaped up and landed steadily on the head of the crimson python. His body was engulfed in blood-red flames, and his sleeves fluttered, displaying the demeanor of a demonic cultivator.

Just when he thought he could take on two against one, he saw Qiu Qianhai on the other side sneer.

"this one?"

After saying this, Ji Yuan finally released the Frost Dragon.

This was the first time Ji Yuan had released it to fight since it had advanced to the second tier of demon beasts.

So as soon as the Frost Dragon appeared, it roared to the sky.

A chilling aura surged forth, almost freezing even the formation itself.

Putting everything else aside, just in terms of sheer presence on stage, the Ice Dragon, seemingly a true dragon, clearly outshone the Crimson Python.

"go."

Jiang Hong had already concluded that Qiu Qianhai before him was definitely a personal disciple of some old Nascent Soul cultivator, and a very favored one at that. Otherwise, how could he possess so many abilities?!

As soon as the Crimson Python left, the Frost Dragon chased after it on its own.

At this point, corpse puppets faced corpse puppets, and spirit beasts faced spirit beasts.

Jiang Hong still had to face Ji Yuan alone.

Just when he thought he could still use the formation to gain the upper hand over Ji Yuan.

He suddenly noticed that a formation seemed to be expanding rapidly.

His Blood Pattern Divine Fiend Array didn't even have a chance to react before it was instantly enveloped by another array.

This... is another of Qiu Qianhai's formations?!

How come this son of a bitch is so proficient in formations!

When Jiang Hong sensed the formation, he knew that he was most likely to be defeated.

He was still defeated by an unknown nobody.

His eyes were bloodshot, but he was still no match for the deafening explosion of countless stars.

"boom--"

"boom--"

One sound followed another.

The Blood Pattern Divine Fiend Array, which was already on the verge of being destroyed by the talisman treasure, was completely destroyed in an instant.

Then it was Jiang Hong's turn.

In order to kill him, Ji Yuan summoned most of the stardust to his side, which caused it to explode.

Its power is far beyond what a single thunderbolt can achieve!

Almost the instant the explosion occurred, Ji Yuan had already put away the Yin Ghost Flag and left the place.

He didn't look back at the explosion; he only knew that if he walked slowly, he would probably be seriously injured!

The Crimson Python and the Frost Dragon, who hadn't gone far to begin with, took the hit head-on.

Even though Ji Yuan had collected most of the stardust, the Frost Dragon was still blasted and its scales were bleeding.

Not to mention the Crimson Serpent on the other side, which took a lot more explosive damage.

The remaining Yin Children fared slightly better, as they were already too far from the epicenter of the explosion.

Ji Yuan propelled the Sky-Splitting Flying Boat, and in an instant, they arrived at the edge of this ancient battlefield.

Only at this point was he able to turn around and see the explosion.

The crimson array was gone. Amidst the explosion, a huge crater appeared in the ground, followed by billowing dust.

Dead... most likely he's not dead!

A child of the Nascent Soul stage is not so easy to die.

The explosions had ended, leaving only lingering shockwaves on the battlefield.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Yuan gripped the Frost Flowing Sword with one hand, propelled the Sky-Splitting Flying Boat, and once again charged back to the center of the battlefield.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

We must kill Jiang Hong today.

Before his flying boat could get close, he saw Jiang Hong, his clothes torn and covered in blood, with only a breastplate embedded in his chest, rise from the very center of the ruins.

His figure was already enveloped in a golden light.

Ji Yuan's flying sword was immediately repelled as soon as it approached, making it impossible for him to get close.

"Qiu Qianhai, right?"

Bleeding from all seven orifices, Jiang Hong stared intently at Ji Yuan, his eyes bloodshot as he roared:

"I, Jiang Hong, will definitely kill you!!!"

His roar nearly echoed throughout the entire ancient battlefield.

Ji Yuan tried many methods, but none of them could get close to this Young Master Jiang.

He knew that he probably wouldn't be able to keep him here today.

I have no idea what kind of method this is...

As Jiang Hong's figure rose higher and higher, Ji Yuan, whose face had turned somewhat pale, raised his head slightly.

A little blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his blue robe was tattered, the hem of which fluttered in the aftershocks of the battlefield.

Although he was looking up at Jiang Hong, his eyes were full of disdain.

A sneer played on his lips.

"Heh heh heh, so this is what they call a Nascent Soul Child?"

"In my eyes, Qiu Qianhai, they're nothing but chickens and dogs!"
