Primordial Corpse Ancestor

Chapter 78 Fleeing in Panic

It must be admitted that Hongjun still had the capital and qualifications to say such harsh words. After all, Hongjun had not yet truly refined the nine-story exquisite golden pagoda. He had only left a divine imprint on it, which was enough to make the Ancestral Dragon unable to break through the defense.

It is conceivable that once Hongjun fully refines it, it will unleash an even more astonishing defensive power. At that time, Hongjun will truly have something to rely on for both defense and offense. However, this battle also made Hongjun realize just how terrifying the auxiliary role of a good magic weapon can be. It's like the difference between a mortal having a gun and not having one.

"Saying all this is useless. Just leave the pagoda behind! Otherwise, you, Hongjun, will hardly escape today!" Yang Mei's face remained cold, and his tone was devoid of any emotion, appearing unusually numb.

"Hmph! Is that so? Zulong, you mean the same thing?" Hongjun sneered, then turned to look at Zulong, hoping to see that Zulong had a different opinion. This way, he would have a chance to use the conflict between Zulong and Yangmei to create a way out. Perhaps in the end, he might even be able to recreate the scene of the fisherman reaping the benefits.

Zulong stared coldly at Hongjun, completely ignoring Hongjun's question, as if Hongjun wasn't speaking to him at all, appearing unusually cold.

The expectant gazes slowly descended, but what Hongjun had hoped for ultimately did not happen; the Ancestral Dragon gave Hongjun no chance whatsoever. Then, Hongjun, with a sudden inspiration, smiled and asked the two, "Since you both want me to possess this pagoda, shouldn't you first discuss who would be the most suitable recipient?"

"Hmph! Hongjun, you don't need to show off your childish tricks of sowing discord! Just leave your magic treasures and get out of here! Otherwise, don't even think about leaving this place safely today!" Zulong replied with a disdainful look, staring coldly at Hongjun.

"Oh, haha! Fellow Daoist Zulong is joking! Are you two really going to gang up on me? I'm already all white-haired and beardless, practically an old man on his deathbed! Can you really bear to make things difficult for me?" Hongjun deliberately put on a sorrowful appearance, looking exceptionally pitiful. If they didn't know better, Zulong and Yangmei might actually fall for it.

"Hmph! Hongjun, you are a prominent figure in the prehistoric world, why are you behaving so childishly? Even if it's to buy time and recover your magic power, there's no need for such behavior! It truly damages your status and reputation!"

Yang Mei, who had been calm and cold, frowned slightly, showing unusual disdain, and retorted to Hongjun without any mercy.

Suddenly exposed as his attempt to stall for time and recover his magical power, Hongjun blushed involuntarily. He quickly suppressed his embarrassment and replied, "The matter remains unresolved, but this pagoda already has an owner. I wonder what you two fellow Daoists intend to do?"

"Leave the pagoda behind!" In unison, almost simultaneously, Zu Long and Yang Mei uttered these words. Afterward, Yang Mei and Zu Long exchanged a slightly awkward glance before turning back to look at Hong Jun.

"No matter what, Hongjun, you must leave the pagoda here today, otherwise we will not let you leave easily." To cover up the awkward situation, Yangmei quickly added in response.

Hongjun was initially surprised but also amused when he heard the two say the same thing almost simultaneously. He instantly realized that today's battle was destined to be very difficult, and that the First Emperor and Yangmei were bound to join forces.

"Why waste words with him! Let's take back the pagoda first!" Suddenly, the Ancestral Dragon's enormous body transformed into a streak of azure light and rushed towards Hongjun, its massive dragon claws instantly descending upon Hongjun's head.

"Ugh!"

A soft sigh escaped Yang Mei's lips. Rather than saying that Hongjun was stalling for time to recover his magic power, it would be more accurate to say that Yang Mei was also stalling for time to recover his magic power, since Yang Mei's magic power had been greatly depleted after a series of fierce battles!

Especially since Yangmei's mana consumption was almost the same as Hongjun's, they were about equal. Yangmei shook his head slightly, looking helpless. However, the Ancestral Dragon was once again locked in battle with Hongjun. If Yangmei did not attack in time, the Ancestral Dragon would definitely be in a passive and defensive situation. So Yangmei could only follow suit and transform into a silver streak of light, rushing into the sky.

Suddenly, Yang Mei raised her eyebrows and swung her golden willow branch again, striking Hongjun in an instant. At this moment, the willow branch was almost covered with tiny spatial cracks, and tiny black lights kept flashing.

When the golden willow branches struck the golden light screen released by the nine-story golden pagoda, they instantly transformed into spatial rifts over ten feet in size. Suddenly sensing Yang Mei's attack, Hongjun dared not linger and instantly transformed into a purple stream of light, entangled with the Ancestral Dragon.

For a time, Hongjun and Zulong were entangled in a fierce battle. Seeing Hongjun fighting with Zulong, Yangmei dared not be careless for a moment, for fear of accidentally injuring Zulong. After all, he was still in a cooperative relationship with Zulong at this time, and it would be difficult to explain if he injured Zulong!

After that, Yang Mei stopped using spatial laws excessively, only using spatial law supernatural powers for defense or for movement, constantly attacking from unexpected angles.

In an instant, silver, cyan, and purple streaks of light shot out from the sky, crashing down to the ground like meteors. The entire surrounding area trembled as if an earthquake was occurring, making this region, which had just experienced a great calamity, even more devastated and ruined!

"boom!"

Suddenly, the Ancestral Dragon's enormous tail slammed towards Hongjun, who instantly swung his dragon-headed golden staff, magnified several times over, to meet the attack. After a deafening roar, both were forced back dozens of feet, and the golden and azure light screens and auspicious clouds in front of them trembled incessantly.

At the same time, it also possessed immense energy that transformed into powerful shockwaves, continuously bombarding the distance and erupting with deafening roars.

"Snapped!"

Just then, Yang Mei's attack arrived silently. Hongjun was shocked and instantly swung his dragon-headed golden staff to block it. With a loud bang, Hongjun retreated several steps, and at the same time, the arm holding the dragon-headed golden staff trembled incessantly.

Just as Hongjun was trying to suppress his trembling arm, the Ancestral Dragon's huge claw came crashing down again. Hongjun dared not be careless and raised his trembling arm again to meet the dragon claw in the air.

For a time, Yangmei and Zulong fought against Hongjun together, forcing Hongjun to have almost no chance to stop. He had to deal with the two's attacks in turn, and for a time, Hongjun was forced into an extremely miserable state.

"No! If this continues, my magic power will be exhausted sooner or later, and I won't be able to escape even if I want to! I should get away as soon as possible!" Yang Mei was extremely anxious and kept thinking.

"roar!"

With a furious roar, Hongjun instantly forced Zulong back and once again met the powerful golden willow branch with its raised eyebrows. As a Chaos Treasure, the golden willow branch lived up to its reputation, causing Hongjun's defensive light barrier to tremble incessantly, as if it were about to be shattered at any moment!

"Snapped!"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

With a loud bang, the golden willow branch and the dragon-headed golden staff clashed instantly, unleashing a thunderous roar. Hongjun immediately freed one hand, forming a hand seal. In an instant, purple tribulation clouds appeared out of thin air above Yangmei's head, with streaks of purple lightning flashing incessantly, constantly erupting with roars, rushing and surging!

Suddenly seeing the lightning above, Yang Mei was shocked. After all, he was attacking Hongjun with all his might and had not expected Hongjun to suddenly make this move. Since Yang Mei did not have any defensive treasures, he had to be careful. The situation caused Yang Mei's attack on Hongjun to slow down instantly.

Suddenly feeling the pressure ease, just as Hongjun was about to make a move, the Ancestral Dragon attacked instantly. For a moment, Hongjun dared not be too careless and had to start to multitask, controlling the tribulation clouds in the sky to attract Yangmei's attention while dealing with the Ancestral Dragon's attack!

"roar!"

Hongjun roared angrily, using all his strength to transform the golden dragon-headed staff into a length of tens of feet, instantly striking the Ancestral Dragon and forcing it back. Just then, the tribulation clouds that had been relatively intimidating to Yangmei seemed to reach a climax, with tens of millions of lightning bolts instantly bombarding Yangmei below.

In an instant, the space within a radius of several dozen feet was filled with thunder and lightning, the roaring sounds echoing endlessly. As if sensing something, even the Ancestral Dragon had to start paying attention to the situation here at Yangmei's place!

"Haha! Good, now's the time!" Hongjun smiled slightly, secretly delighted. He instantly transformed into a purple streak of light and rushed towards the center of the prehistoric continent. At this moment, neither Zulong nor Yangmei noticed that Hongjun would flee in panic.

After a moment, the thunder and lightning that filled the sky finally began to fade due to Hongjun's departure, gradually dissipating and turning into spiritual energy that drifted between heaven and earth!

When they felt that everything was calming down, Yangmei and Zulong discovered that Hongjun was already hundreds of miles away and was still rapidly fleeing towards the center of the prehistoric world.

"Ah! Hongjun left behind the pagoda!" Yangmei roared angrily and chased after Hongjun!

At the same time, the First Emperor was even more direct, roaring with utter ferocity, "Hongjun, prepare to die!"

The fact that Hongjun was able to escape with his life despite the combined efforts of Zulong and Yangmei is a testament to his extraordinary abilities. Similarly, the fact that Zulong and Yangmei were able to escape despite their combined efforts is also a humiliating defeat for Yangmei and Zulong.
