Refining Ruins Cauldron

Gu Qingyun's face was so ugly it looked like it was about to drip water; at this moment, he truly had nowhere to retreat.

"Peak Master, let's escape while we have the chance!"

Gu Qingyun gritted his teeth and revealed the protective jade talisman once again.

As the Nascent Soul aura descended, a terrifying pressure instantly swept across the entire area, suppressing these Golden Core spirit beasts and preventing them from advancing.

The wolf beasts that were so arrogant just moments ago have become somewhat more subdued.

The intimidating power of a Nascent Soul cultivator is even more terrifying to spirit beasts with keen senses.

That wasn't the aura of an ordinary powerful person.

Rather, it is a death threat capable of annihilating them.

"Hmph! Human, you only have one jade talisman; you'll still die after using it!"

The wolf spoke again, but this time its eyes were much clearer.

It spoke fiercely, but its body instinctively took a half step back.

Clearly, the image of the giant bear being killed by Gu Qingyun had not yet faded from its mind.

"The Beast King has spoken; neither of you will escape today!"

really!

Gu Qingyun had already guessed this possibility.

Now, hearing the wolf beast say it himself, he suddenly understood something.

The Hidden Dragon Flood Dragon dared not gamble with the protective jade talisman himself, so he sent these Golden Core spirit beasts to consume it.

Once we force him to use the jade talisman, we'll be in a real dead end!

"Beast King?"

"You mean that little snake?"

Gu Qingyun sneered and deliberately raised his voice.

"We dare not accept this jade talisman ourselves, so we sent you all here to die!"

"A coward who clings to life and fears death dares to call himself the King of Beasts?!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding spirit beasts immediately became restless.

Some growled angrily, while others' eyes grew increasingly fierce.

But that's exactly the effect Gu Qingyun wanted.

He has to provoke them.

We must also make the wolves lose their composure.

A moment later, Gu Qingyun's expression was replaced by a look of madness.

"I'm not one to be afraid of death!"

"So what if there's only one protective jade talisman?"

"Even if I die, I'll take you down with me!"

"Come with me!"

With his gaze fixed on the wolf beast, Gu Qingyun crushed the protective jade talisman and swung it out fiercely!

Sword energy surged, obscuring the sky and the moon; at this moment, the world changed color!

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding spirit beasts were frightened away and retreated thousands of meters away.

This is a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator!

In terms of sheer presence, they are far superior!

Before the sword energy had even fully descended, it had already caused the fur of many Golden Core spirit beasts to stand on end and their bones to tremble with cold.

For spirit beasts, the sense of danger is far superior to that of humans.

That's why they know better than anyone that once this sword energy strikes them, it won't be as simple as just tearing their skin apart.

That could be fatal!

Taking advantage of the brief moment, Gu Qingyun decisively turned around.

"Master, we need to split up and run!"

"you!"

Nalan Feixue hesitated.

How could Gu Qingyun, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, possibly outrun those Golden Core demons?

Moreover, he had just used the protective jade talisman, and his spiritual power and consciousness were already almost depleted.

Once caught by the spirit beast, death is almost certain!

"There's no time to explain. If we don't run now, none of us will escape!"

Gu Qingyun gritted his teeth, his face so ugly it looked like it could drip water.

"I promise I won't do anything reckless. Let's meet up when it's safe!"

"Believe me!"

Having said all that, Nalan Feixue had no room to refuse.

Once the sword energy released by the protective jade talisman dissipates, those spirit beasts will definitely swarm forward!

At that time, not only Gu Qingyun, but even Nalan Feixue will be torn to pieces on the spot!

The two of them getting together now would be too conspicuous.

Running separately might offer a glimmer of hope.

At least, there is only one Qianlong Jiao.

It's impossible for the beast tide to completely block both sides at the same time.

"Take these!"

Nalan Feixue tossed out a treasure bag containing Gu Lei amethyst and the talismans she had kept.

Although the quantity is small, it can still be put to use.

Gu Qingyun reached out and caught it, his heart sinking instantly.

With the Gulei Amethyst in his possession, some of the pursuers will naturally be drawn away as well.

But he did not refuse.

Now is not the time to be sentimental.

Be careful in everything you do!

After saying this, Nalan Feixue gently sent out a palm strike, pushing Gu Qingyun more than a thousand meters away.

That palm strike was not lethal, but it carried a gentle spiritual energy that actually created some distance for Gu Qingyun.

She turned around and swung her sword. Although the sword energy was not as powerful as the Nascent Soul sword energy in the protective jade talisman, it was still quite formidable.

These Golden Core spirit beasts naturally dared not take the desperate attack of a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator head-on.

After all, even if you don't die, if you get injured, it will be difficult to get a share of the pie later!

It's even possible that you might lose your own life!

Gu Qingyun didn't look back. He grabbed the treasure bag and ran forward.

Stepping on the "Free and Easy Steps," his legs were practically smoking from the effort, sparks flying and lightning flashing as he made his swift escape.

Nalan Feixue then fled in another direction at a rapid pace!

Behind him, two sword lights slashed in two different directions.

One of them was the Nascent Soul Sword Qi left by Master Qing Gu in the protective jade talisman.

The other was a half-step Nascent Soul sword light that Nalan Feixue forcibly unleashed.

The two forces, one in front and one behind, forcefully tore a gap in the encircling horde of beasts!

……

In the distance, Qianlongjiao had been lying in ambush on the mountaintop, waiting for Gu Qingyun to use that Nascent Soul protective jade talisman!

The sword energy, thousands of feet long, fell down, seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth!

Even in the face of such a massive display, Qianlongjiao showed no fear whatsoever.

On the contrary, its expression became excited!

"Hahaha!"

"You search high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!"

"That kid finally used the jade talisman!"

"I will break through to the Nascent Soul stage today!"

Overjoyed, Qianlongjiao instantly transformed into a black streak of light and flew towards the direction where Nalan Feixue was!

It has never wanted more than just Gulei Amethyst.

Gulei amethyst can be regenerated.

As long as Luofeng Ridge still exists, it will never lack spiritual creatures.

However, one cannot encounter a human female cultivator like Nalan Feixue, who is at the half-Nascent Soul stage, at any time.

As long as he swallows her golden core and tempers his body with lightning, the bottleneck that has been stuck for nearly a hundred years may truly be loosened!

Its massive size posed no obstacle; it moved like a cannonball, leaving a trail of afterimages behind it.

It did not pursue Gu Qingyun.

Because in its view, even if a Foundation Establishment ant has the Ancient Thunder Amethyst, it cannot escape the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

But Nalan Feixue is different.

If this half-step Nascent Soul female cultivator were to escape back to the Longevity Sect, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to take action against her again!

……

boom!

When the Nascent Soul Sword Qi fell, nothing grew in its path.

No living being could escape the power of this sword!

In an instant, sand and stones flew, and smoke filled the air.

The air seemed to be split open, even the void itself.

The once arrogant Golden Core spirit beast was no different from a piece of paper in front of this sword light.

The wolf at the very front finally regretted its actions.

But it was too late!

It thought that as long as it forced out Gu Qingyun's protective jade talisman, it would have accomplished a great feat.

Who would have thought that Gu Qingyun would be so crazy?

Even if it means death, I'll drag it down with me!

The sword energy appeared slow, yet it locked onto its aura.

The wolf could only watch helplessly as the sword energy sliced ​​through its body, powerless to do anything about it.

"No!"

The roars and screams abruptly ceased, instantly swallowed by the sword light.

Its enormous body was utterly destroyed by the sword energy, not even leaving a complete corpse, and was completely shattered into a bloody mist.

Behind them, the other spirit beasts fled quickly, but they were completely useless against such an attack!

One figure after another was swallowed up by the sword light.

In the void, a thin layer of blood mist seemed to have appeared, and a fishy smell permeated the air.

In other directions, the spirit beasts that had narrowly escaped death were terrified.

Although they were not within the target range of the sword energy, they were still injured by that domineering aura!

One by one, they were sent flying backward, coughing up blood.

Many spirit beasts broke ancient trees and fell into piles of rocks, unable to get up for a long time.

The power of the Nascent Soul strike was fully revealed at this moment.

Even if it's just a wisp of sword energy sealed within the jade talisman by Master Qinggu, it's something these Golden Core spirit beasts simply can't contend with.

Gu Qingyun saw everything and dared not slow down even slightly.

The sword energy will eventually be exhausted.

This is already my strongest trump card.

Without it, if we encounter the Hidden Dragon again, we will have to find another way.

As the saying goes, "When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

Even if I only have the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, I must try to break out of this Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range!

He no longer held back and sped towards the edge of the mountain range.

His figure disappeared into the mountains and forests, gradually fading into the background under the cover of vegetation.

Behind them, the noise grew fainter and fainter, and farther and farther away.

But Gu Qingyun dared not slack off.

He knew that this was only the beginning of his escape!

The beast king Qianlongjiao, who is at the half-Nascent Soul stage, has yet to truly make a move.

He wasn't foolish enough to think the latter would give up.

The other side is definitely plotting something bigger!

"Human ants, surrender now!"

Just then, Qianlongjiao's voice came from the distant horizon behind them.

Like a thunderclap that suddenly exploded beside my ears, it was incredibly powerful!

That powerful aura of a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator even had some of the oppressive feeling of the Nascent Soul sword energy from before!

Gu Qingyun's face turned ashen.

He could clearly sense that Qianlongjiao was heading towards Nalan Feixue!

This old cunning dragon finally couldn't resist making a move!

However, Gu Qingyun was unable to help at the moment and could only suppress his emotions and continue to flee.

We agreed to split up and act separately.

In this way, even if one of them is caught, at least the other one can escape!

It's better to chase after Nalan Feixue than to chase after yourself.

The former was at least a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator. Even though he was injured, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse!

In contrast, he, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was no different from an ant in front of these spirit beasts.

If you get caught up, it's a dead end!

Whoosh whoosh!

Several afterimages arrived one after another, their killing intent palpable!

Fortunately, Gu Qingyun reacted quickly enough, and even while in the air, he managed to deflect the attacks at an extremely strange angle!

Boom boom boom!

The hair, like a nail, pierced through the towering tree in an instant.

Gu Qingyun then realized that what had caught up with him was a black tiger!

This guy was one of the four beasts that attacked him back then!
