The golden dragon roared past, crushing the group of heavy Tai dogs into mincemeat and opening a path.
“Little Beast King, where do you think you’re going? Hand over the immortal treasure!” Yi Chong appeared before Fang Yuan, waves surging.
Bone Wing Gu!
Fang Yuan flapped his wings, dodging the crashing wave, and soared into the sky.
“Little Beast King, you’d better stay.” Yi Huo waved his hand, and a firebird spun around, pecking at Fang Yuan.
Golden Haze Gu.
Fang Yuan covered himself with a layer of golden light, his speed skyrocketing as he shook off the firebird and quickly retreated.
“Hmm?” The huge commotion attracted the attention of Mo Wu Tian and Xiao Mang.
Xiao Mang launched a giant hand of light, as big as an elephant, flying rapidly to grab Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan made a sharp turn to evade.
But then, a gentle call suddenly sounded in his ears.
This call was like a lover’s whisper, like a family member eagerly calling. Those unaware could not help but be entranced, lost in thought.
“Mo Wu Tian’s Tenderness Gu!” Fang Yuan shuddered in alarm and quickly broke free, but his momentum was slowed, and the giant hand of light behind him grabbed again.
“Not good!” There was no time to dodge, so Fang Yuan had to activate his Gu and attack instead.
Boom.
With a loud crash, the giant hand of light was dispersed, and Fang Yuan, like a kite with its string cut, left a trail of blood as he fell to the ground.
The whistling wind in his ears woke the unconscious Fang Yuan.
Realizing he was falling, he quickly activated another Gu and shouted: “Tie Ruo Nan has attained the peerless Immortal Gu and is refining it!”
Mo Wu Tian and Xiao Mang’s attention immediately shifted.
Immortal Gu!
The crowd erupted, instantly thrown into an unprecedented frenzy. Tie Bai Qi felt immense pressure.
Fang Yuan took the chance to breathe and immediately activated the Witch’s Movement Gu. A vast mass of dark clouds rose up, and he hid within them, continuing his retreat.
But just then…
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Four chains suddenly extended from the void, as nimble as snakes, as fast as lightning, binding Fang Yuan’s limbs.
Then the chains quickly tightened, wrapping around him, tying him up thoroughly, and dragging him into the void!
The next moment, Fang Yuan reappeared in the bronze hall.
The four elders of the Tie family stood at the four cardinal directions, surrounding him.
They were half-crouched. Their right palms stretched forward, left hands grasping right wrists, and together they activated their Gu. From each of their palms extended a long black iron chain.
The four elders of the Tie family’s killer move—Boundless Search Chains!
…
Meanwhile, on Central Continent, Mount Heavenly Ladder.
On the Soul Stirring Mountain within the Fox Immortal Blessed Land, a competition for the ownership of the blessed land was also at its final stage.
“Fang Zheng, keep going, victory is just around the corner!” the voice of Heavenly Crane Saint sounded in Fang Zheng’s mind. Compared to before, his voice was extremely heavy with fatigue and weakness.
“Yes, there’s only one opponent left…” Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, covered in sweat. His body was unsteady, but he exuded a firm determination.
“I, the great Xiao Qi Xing, actually got surpassed by some nobody?” Xiao Qi Xing stared wide-eyed, watching Fang Zheng climb, surpassing his height.
“Alas, I never expected the outcome to be like this.” Ying Sheng Ji sighed deeply, suddenly let go, and fell from the mountain.
He was the farthest from the top; after seeing Fang Zheng’s performance, he knew he had no chance and simply conceded.
The blessed land’s spirit Fox Immortal certainly wouldn’t let him fall to his death; with a snap of his fingers, he safely transported Ying Sheng Ji to the outside.
Climb, continue climbing.
Fang Zheng’s hands and feet were scraped raw, blood dripping.
The closer he got to the peak, the fiercer the soul-shaking. Fang Zheng could hardly think of anything else; his eyes only had the top of the mountain. He had already squeezed out his entire potential, beyond physical limits.
“This kid…” Feng Jin Huang was moved.
Fang Zheng was clearly exhausted, yet he seemed to have an infinite force sustaining him.
“Top, the top…” Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, his mind set on only that goal.
He climbed step by step, gradually surpassing Feng Jin Huang and officially taking the lead!
At this moment, only a zhang remained to the top.
Even the adorable Earth Spirit Fox Immortal stood at the edge of the cliff, staring down, watching the birth of a new master.
Outside the blessed land, among the Gu Immortals who had been watching, some had already begun to sigh.
