Chapter Forty-Five: Making Up for the Spiritual Root

  "You little brat, you've really infuriated me this time! No one can save you now!"

  Wu Guang's copper ring appeared, Xu Cong grinned hideously, his whole body's blue veins bulging out, his hands continuously pinching the incantation gestures, pointing at the copper ring.

  With a whooshing sound, the copper ring emitted a dark glow and shot towards Wang Fei.

  Wang Fei remained calm and rang the Clear Sound Bell to protect himself, while his right hand plucked a single note, summoning an ancient flying sword to counterattack.

  "Hmm——"

  Two treasures of the law collided with each other and did not produce a metallic ringing sound, but instead emitted a long, bell-like tone.

  "What?!"

  Seeing Wang Fei's ancient flying sword actually withstanding the full force of his own spiritual artifact, Xu Cong's jaw almost dropped, and he stared at him in utter disbelief.

  At the same time, Wang Fei seized this opportunity, and with a series of swift finger movements, he shot out the explosive pellets in his hand.

  Boom...

  A string of explosions, the forest was once again shrouded in thick smoke, ice blades, flames, sand needles, water blades... all rose up together, Xu Cong's entire body was immediately wrapped in these crazy attacks.

  "Hmph, such petty tricks are useless against me!"

  Xu Cong was initially frightened by these explosive pellets, but when he was attacked two or three times, he discovered that they were not too powerful. As long as he activated his defensive technique, he could still cope with them. After all, he was a cultivator of the 12th layer of Lingyue, six layers higher than Wang Fei. The protective spiritual light he released was also much thicker and more solid.

  Xu Cong displayed his defensive technique to resist the explosion of the dan, while controlling the black light copper ring to attack Wang Fei under his spiritual recognition.

  "That's about it."

  As he saw the copper ring coming towards him, Wang Fei didn't have any expression on his face, but instead calmly said a word and then his body shook slightly before disappearing from where he was standing.

  "This..." Xu Cong manipulated his spiritual power to cast a protective technique, desperately resisting the explosion of the explosive dan by his side. At the same time, he extended his divine sense to perceive Wang Fei's movements, and saw that he suddenly disappeared from his original position, completely stunned. However, in the next moment, his face changed color.

  A surge of dark energy rose from his abdomen, spreading to his face, and the toxins in his body erupted again under the stimulation of spiritual power!

  "Damn it!"

  Xu Cong let out a loud roar, his breath was urgent and he spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, Wang Fei appeared behind him, and with a flick of his wrist, a rusty sword shot out.

  "No!" Xu Cong felt a chill behind him and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly drew out the Snowlight Sword to block whatever was behind him.

  "Clang!"

  The ancient flying sword was extremely sharp, directly cutting off the top-grade magic weapon, Snowlight Sword. Then, with a "pu" sound, it instantly penetrated Xu Cong's body. Xu Cong stared blankly at the ancient flying sword that had pierced through his chest, carrying the remnants of the Snowlight Sword, and circled around in front of him before returning to its original position. His eyes revealed an expression of disbelief, but the next moment, he thudded to the ground with a "hong" sound, his life force gradually dissipating.

  "It's finally settled. What a pity about that exceptional French knife."

  Looking at Xu Cong lying in a pool of blood, Wang Fei let out a long sigh, shook his head and put away the Gu Pu flying sword.

  I've been wasting time with him all along, waiting for the moment when the toxin explodes.

  Jingxiang Valley and Danfeng Sect also have a lot of intersections, the explosive poison pill was naturally obtained from Danfeng Sect. As a disciple of Danfeng Sect, Wang Fei is very familiar with the explosive poison pill.

  The toxin of the Explosive Poison Pill is difficult to expel through Qigong, and can only be cleared with the corresponding antidote. If it's not eliminated, it will recur at intervals, which is exactly what Wang Fei was waiting for.

  Looking at the dead Xuc, Wang Fei's expression was cold and indifferent. The face of the Xian Guo Sect could be seen from how they dealt with the disciples of Jing Xian Valley. As for the death of the Xu brothers, Wang Fei had no sympathy whatsoever. With a raise of his hand, the ancient flying sword rotated once and took the Lingzhu from Xuc's corpse before returning to him.

  Wang Fei walked to the side of Xu Cong's corpse, a stream of spiritual energy entered it, and instantly, a dozen or so thick green spiritual roots appeared in his body.

  "Sixth-grade Wooden Spiritual Root! Not bad!"

  Wang Fei was overjoyed, initially unable to absorb Qiu Xian's earth spirit root, it was because of the lack of wood spirit root's conflicting attribute, now only need to absorb its spirit root, and the five elements can be greatly accomplished.

  He crouched down, and Wang Fei placed his hand on his chest, furrowing his brow, thinking to himself: "There is the toxin of the Exploding Poison Pill in his body, invading his five viscera and six bowels, even affecting his spiritual root. Fortunately, I have an antidote for this poison."

  Wang Fei had a considerable amount of antidotes and medicinal pellets on him when he came out, including the specific antidote for Explosive Poison Dan.

  The toxin's situation has a way to resolve it. Wang Fei suppressed the joy in his heart, urged the spiritual power inside his body, and transported it to the Swallowing Spiritual Root.

  In an instant, the Devouring Spiritual Root slightly trembled, and a strand of black fibers emerged from Wang Fei's right palm, piercing into Xu Cong's body. A green spiritual root then flowed along the Devouring Spiritual Root's tentacles, surging into Wang Fei's body.

  In just a few breaths, Wang Fei absorbed his spiritual root, but immediately, a sticky toxin seeped out from the spiritual root and spread throughout his body with the flow of blood, causing his face to turn black instantly.

  Wang Fei's face sank, and he took out a dan medicine and swallowed it.

  The medicine entered the mouth, a cool feeling surged up into the abdomen, and a large amount of toxins in the body were cleared out instantly. The dark complexion gradually recovered.

  After a brief pause, Wang Fei arrived at the stone slab where Xu Ming's body was placed and also infused it with spiritual energy.

  Another Golden Spirit Root, but it's only seventh-grade.

  Staring at the spiritual root in Xu Ming's body, Wang Fei whispered and urged the swallowing spiritual root to swallow it.

  After doing this, Wang Fei took down the Lingzhu from Xu Ming's body and threw out two clusters of flames, burning the two into ashes. He then mounted his flying sword and left.

  "Dongtan wilderness..."

  Wang Fei stepped on his flying sword and quickly headed in the direction of the Men's faction, but his mind was pondering the words of Luojiao'er before.

  Following Luo Jiao'er's description, Wang had a clear picture of the terrain in Dongtan's wilderness.

  It is located in the easternmost region of Yan State, spanning across ten thousand mountains, with an area that is unparalleled, containing countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, spiritual veins and mineral deposits. As for flying birds and running beasts, they are not rare at all. Especially the various spiritual medicines inside, most of which are hard to come by in the market or have already become extinct.

  Thus deducing, Wang Fei thought that perhaps he could find the Ba Ye Ju Ling Cao in the eastern suburbs of Dong Tan.

  He was overjoyed in his heart, and Wang Fei also infused a spiritual power into the ancient flying sword, increasing its speed. He had to return to the Mountain Gate immediately and go to the Scripture Pavilion to see what was going on.

  ……

  Not long after Wang Fei left, at the boundary between the bamboo forest and the tree forest, two swift sounds were heard, and two flashes of light instantly arrived. The light fell, and a man and a woman walked out from within.

  The man's face was like jade, handsome and extraordinary. The woman's figure was slender and elegant, wearing a purple dress that fluttered in the wind. They were indeed Bai Bing and Jiao Shixiong.

  "There are signs of a fight here." Jiao Shixiong said as he stood up and turned to face Bai Bing beside him.

  "I also felt it, and it seems quite intense." Bai Bing glanced around, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Senior brother, I think we should let it go. It's just a small role, no need to pursue it relentlessly."

  "Hmph, you've chased us all the way here, how can we just let him go? Moreover, he has the Foundation Establishment technique on his body." A hint of malice flashed in Jiao Shixiong's eyes as he muttered, "Bastard, I was originally planning to break through to the final stage of the high-level technique, but didn't expect it to be so expensive. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let that guy succeed!"

  "But for now..." Bai Bing's face showed a hesitant expression, although she didn't know what had happened here, but based on her years of experience, there must have been a fierce battle here earlier.

  If he was just passing by, it would be easy to say, but if he joined in, things would get a bit tricky.

  "Sister, my tracking skills are unparalleled and uniquely passed down through my family. That person must have come this way, but there's no need to investigate what exactly happened here. The current situation is that both you and I are about to build our foundation, and this technique is a must-have!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Jiao Shixiong once again took out his flying artifact and chased after him.

  Bai Bing hesitated for a moment before closely following behind.
