Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 783 - 327: Battle with Jiang Hong Again!

It was the Supreme Treasure from the Shang Court.

Even Mei Manor, a legitimate Elder of the Shang Court, could not handle this treasure.

What method could Jiang Hong possibly possess?

Just as Ji Yuan was contemplating, Jiang Hong made his move.

The instant he acted, Ji Yuan understood that Jiang Hong genuinely had a way to resolve this Fixed-point Teleportation Order.

In fact, he could resolve it with near perfection!

This was because Jiang Hong first extended his massive hand, solidifying the expanse of water before him.

It transformed into an ice plain the color of blood.

Immediately afterward, he struck his left hand heavily against his waist, and a spiritual light flew out, landing on the blood-colored ice plain and revealing its true form.

It was a colossal, green-gray boulder, intricately carved with myriad array patterns.

Ji Yuan only needed a glance at these somewhat familiar array patterns to know the inevitable outcome.

There was no escaping it.

To be precise, escape using this Fixed-point Teleportation Order was impossible.

Why?

Because what Jiang Hong produced was, in essence, a teleportation array!

Identical to the very teleportation array Ji Yuan had once utilized on Qingfeng Island!

The moment this teleportation array materialized, Ji Yuan sensed a shift in the light pillar surrounding him.

The prior teleportation array belonging to the Water Dragon Sect had been taken by Kong Xifeng, so the Fixed-point Teleportation Order would guide him to the closest available teleportation array.

Ji Yuan had no idea where the Fixed-point Teleportation Order was linked, but he surmised it must be quite distant.

This deduction was based on the prolonged connection time, which hadn't yet established a link.

Consequently, he had not been teleported away.

However, the situation had now changed; once Jiang Hong unveiled his teleportation array,

the Fixed-point Teleportation Order swiftly locked onto the array before him, achieving a connection almost instantaneously.

Initially, Ji Yuan’s posture straightened as he ascended into the sky, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Standing beside the teleportation array, Jiang Hong let out a fit of maniacal laughter.

His laughter brought tears to his eyes.

Indeed, this entire affair… was truly hilarious.

Originally, this Fixed-point Teleportation Order was an insurmountable obstacle, but who would have conceived that… he happened to have plundered a teleportation array from the Corpse Transporting Mountain.

His intention was to deliver this teleportation array to the Blood Luo King, hoping to earn some favor.

Perhaps then his contemptible father might regard him with more esteem.

But unexpectedly, this teleportation array, which hadn't even reached the Blood Luo King, had served such a crucial purpose within the Water Dragon Sect.

"Heavenly assistance indeed; truly the heavens are aiding me."

At this moment, this was the sole thought occupying Jiang Hong’s mind, yet an uncontrollable smile graced his face.

"Whoosh——"

The preceding light pillar vanished, only to be replaced by another descending from the heavens, illuminating the teleportation array.

Jiang Hong cast a glance at the Core Formation Cultivators positioned outside and straightened his posture, shouting:

"I am the Young Master of Blood Luo Mountain, Jiang Hong. I implore you fellow cultivators to provide me with protection; this Young Master would be eternally grateful!"

Soon, the voices of the demonic cultivators echoed from beyond the golden bowl-shaped light shield.

"Young Master Jiang, please proceed at your leisure."

"With us standing guard, not even a mosquito shall manage to escape!"

"..."

As the light pillar from the Fixed-point Teleportation Array descended, Ji Yuan activated the Talisman Treasure, the Black Dragon Armor, held within his hand.

He surmised this Black Dragon Armor had been acquired from Celestial Silkworm Zhenren’s Storage Bag earlier, remaining unused until this very moment...

"Boom——"

Jiang Hong was prepared, and the instant the golden light of the Fixed-point Teleportation Order dissipated, he performed hand seals, bringing his blood-red Great Halberd down forcefully upon Ji Yuan.

The moment their weapons clashed, despite wielding the Protective Talisman Treasure, Ji Yuan felt an immense force surge through his body.

… This fellow has undeniably grown far more powerful!

Should a regular cultivator endure such an assault, they would likely be gravely wounded, if not killed outright.

But regrettably for Jiang Hong, the individual facing him was Ji Yuan!

This level of force was utterly insignificant when compared to the potent energy emanating from Thunder Shock Marsh, which spanned fifty miles.

Ji Yuan’s form was propelled far across the lake’s surface.

"Attack!"

Observing this, Jiang Hong resolved not to hesitate; he gestured with his hand.

The other three Mid-stage Core Formation Cultivators transformed into streams of escape light and converged upon Ji Yuan, preparing to strike.

… Damnable!

Protected by the Talisman Treasure, Ji Yuan slapped his right hand against his waist, summoning Celestial Silkworm Zhenren once more.

As it materialized, the figure gradually ascended, radiating an overwhelming Yin Energy.

Self-destruction!

The self-destruction of a Core Formation Stage Corpse Puppet.

While it might not equate to the annihilation of a genuine Golden Core cultivator, it far exceeded the defensive capabilities of the three Mid-stage Core Formation cultivators.

A familiar half-body came into view as Jiang Hong glanced over, a curse of "useless!" escaping his lips.

He himself, meanwhile, had retreated several miles.

"Booming——"

Amidst a thunderous explosion, the three Mid-stage Core Formation Cultivators were pushed back a considerable distance.

Right at the epicenter of the blast.

Even the Boundless Marsh was obliterated, transformed into a crater spanning dozens of miles.

The lake had vanished entirely, exposing a deep pit at its former location.

Ji Yuan’s figure... was nowhere to be found.

The aftershocks of the self-destruction still hadn't subsided, the residual energy rampaging wildly; the three Mid-stage Core Formation cultivators were sent flying backward.

"Where did he go?!"

The Blood Nightmare Old Monster desperately searched with his Divine Sense but discovered nothing.

"Could it be... that he was disintegrated by the explosion?"

Corpse Buddha Child gazed down into the profound pit at the lake’s bottom.

"Impossible."

Jiang Hong, morphing into an Escape Light, sped over, his expression grim:

"Qiu Qianhai, that scoundrel, actually dared to let the Corpse Puppet self-destruct! He must possess some method of self-preservation; search thoroughly, he is undoubtedly close by!"

"Whether alive, I wish to see him; dead, I want to see his corpse!"

Jiang Hong’s fury burned unceasingly.

The prey that was practically within his grasp, could it truly slip away?

Especially now, on the verge of enacting his revenge, to fall short at this moment; such an outcome was absolutely unacceptable!

He transformed into Escape Light once more, emerging onto the water’s surface, extending his Divine Sense across the surrounding area, hoping to uncover any trace.

"What are you standing around for? Join the search!"

Jiang Hong cast a displeased glance at Qian Xin, who remained cowardly at a distance, and annoyance fueled his curse.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Qian Xin, merely a Demon Dao Loose Cultivator, did not dare to defy Jiang Hong when being berated and could only obediently comply.

Meanwhile.

Amidst the dusty debris left by the recent explosion at the lake bottom.

Ji Yuan stood before the entrance to his Cave Mansion, his own face etched with grimness.

His gaze pierced through the endless water, finally settling on Qian Xin... approaching. Good, he is coming.

This blast might not be enough to kill Jiang Hong, but eliminating you should be simple enough!

With this thought, a cannon materialized beside Ji Yuan.

It was the Spiritual Energy Cannon!

Once it charged up, it would obliterate Qian Xin and dispel this restriction; it seemed like a task that would pose no difficulty.

As he contemplated, countless Spirit Stones were drawn from the depths of the [Cave Mansion]’s [Spirit Vein], all flowing into the [Spiritual Energy Cannon] to fuel it.
