"What backing? I am not even afraid of the Demon God, nor am I afraid of Hua Tiandu. Would I be afraid of this person's backing? Could his backing be an Immortal?" Fang Han was momentarily stunned, though he did not make a move to continue killing and taking treasures. He knew that Yan would absolutely not speak without reason. Although the Emerald Blood Soul-Extinguishing Sword was very tempting, his most important task right now was to find the Five Elements Spiritual Root. If he truly provoked a massive trouble, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Little did he know that in this brief moment of hesitation, the young man in the emerald-green long robe fiercely gritted his teeth, pulled out a large, emerald-green immortal-peach-like Yin thunder from his clothes, and shook it in the air.
"Pop!"
This large Yin thunder produced a muffled sound out of thin air, like a million pounds of gunpowder detonating underwater. All the air boiled up at once, and the massive fluctuation blasted apart the black storm of Fang Han's "Black Sun Wind Disaster". That Emerald Blood Soul-Extinguishing Sword drilled out like a swimming dragon, dodging the large hand of the King of Blood Night, wrapped around the young man, and fled far away, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"You just wait! You won't have a good end." The young man in the emerald-green long robe left this sentence from afar: "You took all the battlefield aura of slaughter that I painstakingly gathered. You are dead, you are absolutely dead!"
Hmph!
Fang Han snorted coldly and was about to give chase to kill this young man.
However, Yan said: "Do not pursue a desperate enemy. That Emerald Blood Soul-Extinguishing Sword is a magic treasure refined by the Emerald Blood Old Monster thousands of years ago. This person is a Supreme Elder of the Blood Shadow Demonic Sect, extremely formidable! Moreover, that Emerald Blood Old Monster seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. Whoever offends him, he will try every possible means to kill that person, even if it is a junior. Unlike you offending the Demon God, the Demon God would go look for Feng Baiyu for revenge rather than staring at you to hunt you down. Eternal giants still have this bit of grace. But the Emerald Blood Old Monster is an exception. If you kill this person, he will stare at you every day. Unless you never leave Mount Ascension, the moment you step out, he will come to kill you. Furthermore, this old monster is full of tricks and proficient in countless demonic sect divine abilities, such as the Ten Thousand Mile Insight Technique and the Essence Origin Sensing Technique. As long as he catches a whiff of your scent, he knows where you are. A distance of ten thousand miles takes only an instant. Back then, Emperor Yellow Springs tried to eliminate him several times but failed, letting him run away. This person can be considered the only one among the giants of the Longevity Secret Realm who lacks the demeanor of a senior expert."
"This is indeed a formidable character!"
Hearing this, Fang Han drew in a breath of cold air. If he was constantly targeted by an old monster giant of the Longevity Secret Realm, who would kill him the moment he left the mountain, then what was the point of cultivating the immortal Dao?
Although he had offended the Demon God, the Demon God did not lack grace to this extent and would not stare at a junior like him to kill all year round. If he wanted to kill someone first, he would go kill Feng Baiyu.
"Since that is the case, fortunately I used an illusion beforehand. No one knows who I am. I will leave here now, and then see exactly how much battlefield aura of slaughter there is in the gourds of those seven people swallowed by the heavenly lion." As Fang Han spoke, he retracted the heavenly lion. He fiercely flew outward for a full two hours and stopped at a place on the vast grasslands, reverting back to his original appearance.
His current strength could be considered extremely powerful, capable of defeating Wan Luo at the seventh level of Divine Abilities, the Golden Core level.
But compared to an expert of the Longevity Secret Realm, his strength was simply like that of a child, completely incomparable.
Let alone the Longevity Secret Realm, he probably couldn't even defeat experts at the eighth level of Divine Abilities, the "Wind and Fire Great Tribulation", or the ninth level of Divine Abilities, the "Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation". Although he possessed a Dao Artifact like the King of Blood Night, the difference in realms was too great.
Currently, he himself was only an expert at the fifth level of Divine Abilities, the "Heaven and Human Realm", and not even at the peak, as his five elements were not yet fully cultivated. If he cultivated a Golden Core, it would be different. However, he was still very far from a Golden Core right now.
Taking out the seven individuals clad in "skull robes" who had just been swallowed by the heavenly lion, Fang Han already knew they were disciples of the "Blood Shadow Demonic Sect", one of the major sects among the seven branches of the demonic gate, with profound strength not inferior to the Ascension Sect. However, Fang Han had no interest in anyone who was not an expert of the Divine Abilities Secret Realm. He wiped away the memories of these seven people with the Oblivion Water in an instant, and then took the "skull robes" from their bodies as well as the seven gourds.
Every single one of the seven "skull robes" was a lower-grade Treasure Artifact, showing the immense wealth of the Blood Shadow Demonic Sect.
Naturally, Fang Han graciously accepted them all. Although he had no use for these clothes anymore, he could take them to the various markets of the Great Xuan Empire to sell. Who knew how many people would want to buy them. In the markets, three things were the easiest to sell: first was pills, second was flying swords, and third was dharma robes. Because these were essential items for all sects to nurture their disciples.
However, Fang Han focused his attention on the seven gourds.
These seven gourds looked somewhat like "Seven Fiends Gourds". Their quality was excellent, but they had no functions for self-defense or killing enemies. Their only function was extraction. Inside, there was only an extremely strong grand array, somewhat similar to the Spirit Swallowing Grand Array of the Five Hells King Cauldron.
Yet, with just a slight shake of each gourd, the sounds of thousands of troops and horses slaughtering each other could be transmitted from within. War drums roared, making one's blood boil, as if they had arrived at an ancient battlefield.
"How much battlefield aura of slaughter did it take to condense this." Fang Han focused his magic power into his eyes and vaguely saw through the gourds, only to see that a completely illusory world had formed inside. An unknown number of people were slaughtering each other. The battlefield aura of slaughter within every single gourd was ten times, a hundred times stronger than the Battle Soul Sarira he had just condensed!
Who knew how many wars had been experienced to gather all this.
"When you are sleepy, someone really brings a pillow. I was just about to open up a second mind and needed to condense the battlefield aura of slaughter, requiring one hundred and eight Battle Soul Sariras. That would have cost a great deal of effort, but now how much trouble has been saved for me!" Fang Han said joyfully.
In the secular world, although there were extremely many countries and wars everywhere, it was absolutely not easy to gather the battlefield aura of slaughter required for one hundred and eight Battle Soul Sariras. At the very least, it would take several years, or even ten years.
And the battlefield aura of slaughter within these seven gourds was enough to condense one hundred and eight Battle Soul Sariras.
This could allow Fang Han to successfully open up a second mind.
If this wasn't luck, what was it?
"When the time comes, heaven and earth all lend their strength… It seems my luck has arrived. Everything will go smoothly." sitting cross-legged, Fang Han used the "Mirage Qi Technique" to alter the surrounding environment. Besides a Golden Core expert at the seventh level of Divine Abilities, no one could tell any clues.
At this time on the grasslands, the autumn grass reached the sky. Sitting hidden among the grass, he was the safest. Not to mention, he also had Yan as a dharma protector.
Emptying the seven gourds, Fang Han began extracting the battlefield aura of slaughter from within…
"Despicable, despicable! This is truly too despicable! I painstakingly had seven servants gather for a full nine years, secretly collecting seven gourds of battlefield aura of slaughter. I don't know how many wars were experienced, and how many wars were provoked! It was just about to succeed; I was going to go back and have my father refine the Emerald Blood Soul-Extinguishing Sword into a Dao Artifact for me. Now, falling short at the final hurdle, it's truly despicable! Who exactly is that person? To ruin my many years of hard work in a single moment! Daring to snatch things from me, Young Master Ling, he must be tired of living!"
At this time, that young man in the emerald-green long robe with a sinister face was also violently cursing deep within the grasslands. Deep sword qi cut the land within a ten-mile radius, leaving cracks everywhere.
"It seems I can only hire assassins!" Thinking for a moment, this "Young Master Ling" suddenly grabbed a black talisman and ignited it instantaneously. Instantly, countless streams of black smoke escaped into the void.
After fully two or three hours, a sound breaking through the air suddenly came from the horizon. Subsequently, countless ripples distorted the air, and three figures appeared before this "Young Master Ling".
These three figures were all tall and slender, their faces masked, making it impossible to see what they looked like. They were exactly like secular assassins! However, the aura they exuded was so powerful it was simply suffocating! Not inferior in the slightest to minor giants like Zhao Xuanyi and Song Weiyi! Golden Core experts.
These three masked men were surprisingly at the seventh level of Divine Abilities, Golden Core experts!
"So it is Young Master Ling. You sent out a talisman, requesting the three of us to rush over together. Who are we dealing with?" One of the masked men said: "We three are not easy to hire. Every time we dispatch to kill someone, it requires one high-grade Treasure Artifact."
"I know that you three are the second, third, and fourth ranked individuals among the Forty Great Thieves of the overseas. The Ten Thousand Returns Immortal Island has encircled and suppressed you many times without success, only suffering losses instead. Many disciples of the Taiyi Sect have also gone to kill you, but you are still living perfectly well. Since I am hiring you this time, of course I will provide the compensation. You don't think I can't even offer the compensation, do you." Young Master Ling said sinisterly.
It turned out that these three men were surprisingly the vicious hegemons ranked second, third, and fourth among the Forty Great Thieves of the overseas!
That day, at sea, Fang Han had killed the Island Master of Absolute Fate, ranked thirty-eighth among the Forty Great Thieves, and obtained the Five Hells King Cauldron. That Island Master of Absolute Fate was an expert at the third level of Divine Abilities, the Origin Astral Realm, having refined astral qi, and was extremely formidable.
However, one was ranked thirty-eighth, and the others were in the top five! One could figure out how vast the gap was just using their toes.
On the vast and distant ocean, the most vicious force was the Forty Great Thieves, whom even the Ten Thousand Returns Immortal Island of the ten sects of the immortal Dao found hard to annihilate. Now this "Young Master Ling" had immediately summoned the three hegemons ranked second, third, and fourth; his backing was indeed fierce and formidable.
"Young Master Ling, your father is the Emerald Blood Patriarch. We naturally would not doubt that you won't pay the compensation." One of the masked men said in detail: "Who do you want to kill? Tell me that person's appearance, cultivation base, and identity?"
"That person's appearance is like this!" With a wave of Young Master Ling's hand, Fang Han's appearance manifested; of course, it was the appearance altered by the Mirage Qi Technique. "The cultivation base should be the Heaven and Human Realm!"
"I have not seen this person before? I'm afraid it's not his true appearance!" Another masked man recognized it at a glance, displaying powerful insight.
"I captured his aura! Inside this jade bottle is his aura." Young Master Ling gave a sinister smile: "If you rely on this aura to kill the person, there will be no mistake! After killing him, bring those seven gourds back to me!"
"That is no problem!"
The three great masked men answered in unison, took the jade bottle, shook it once, and vanished.
