Chapter Fifty-Nine: Confrontation

  A silver airship flew in from a distant place at high speed, and after reaching the sky above this mountain forest, the silver airship did not stop. Moreover, the silver airship didn't even slow down its speed by half, and flew directly past.

  A silver-colored aircraft flew by quickly, and the dull whistling sound awakened Kong Fang from his dormant state. Kong Fang's eyes opened, but he remained motionless.

  If Kong Fang wore the black guard, the speed of the cloud boat would definitely be much faster than that of the newcomer, but no matter whether the person who just flew by from above was Zhao Yong or not, Kong Fang did not plan to chase after him.

  Although the Black Guard can burst out with the power to enter the spiritual realm after special refining, it is still not as fast as the Thousand Mile Earth Symbol. When Zhao Yong discovers that the Black Guard's activation of the Cloud Chariot is much faster than his own, he will definitely use the Thousand Mile Earth Symbol to escape immediately.

  Qianli Suodi Fu, in an instant, a thousand miles away. Even if Hei Wei was hundreds of times faster, he still couldn't catch up with the other party.

  Moreover, with Zhao Yong's cautiousness, once he sees the strange black guard, he might directly use the Thousand Mile Shrinking Earth Symbol. Therefore, when dealing with Zhao Yong, Kong Fang did not plan to use the black guard, but instead relied on his own strength to eliminate this enemy.

  It's actually a helpless move, Hei Wei would make Zhao Yong fearful and might escape at any time. But if Kong Fang himself shows up, Zhao Yong, who also wants to get rid of Kong Fang, may not flee without a fight.

  The two joined the inner hall at the same time, and Zhao Yong also had an extraordinary background. Subconsciously, he might have underestimated Kong Fang's strength, which was exactly Kong Fang's opportunity.

  Before long, the silver cloud boat flew back from another direction and finally hovered above the mountain forest. Zhao Yong, wearing a hat and a long gown with a fake mask on his face, carefully observed the mountain forest below to see if there was anything unusual. Moreover, in case of any unexpected event, Zhao Yong held in his left hand a jade symbol that was flowing with purple light halo, which was his life-saving object - the Thousand Miles Shrinking Earth Symbol.

  The sounds of insects and birds calling in the mountains continued unabated, seeming very normal, which made Zhao Yong's heart slightly relax, and then he slowly descended the Cloud Chariot.

  Xiang Yunzhou landed on a huge rock, Zhao Yong shouted towards the hidden entrance of the bandits: "Old friend came to visit, why not come out to meet?" The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, obviously intentionally changing his tone.

  Kong Fang's eyes flashed with a cold light as soon as he heard the voice, and although Zhao Yong had intentionally changed his tone, Kong Fang still recognized it - it was indeed Zhao Yong's voice.

  "It's really cautious, with the Thousand Mile Earth Symbol in hand, yet not daring to enter the bandit's lair." Kong Fang knew he couldn't hide anymore, otherwise Zhao Yong might leave directly without waiting for the bandits to appear. So Kong Fang used both hands and feet simultaneously, quickly sliding out from under two massive boulders.

  Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Yong, wearing a disguise mask, immediately turned around and looked over. When he saw Kong Fang, the pupils under Zhao's mask contracted for a moment.

  "You're actually here?" Zhao Yong's heart was shocked, and he even forgot to disguise his voice.

  Kong Fang looked at Zhao Yong, who was wearing a long gown with a hat and a fake mask, with a cold expression. "You, Zhao Yong, can come here, why can't I?" Kong Fang suddenly shouted loudly, "Still using these things to disguise yourself in front of me, don't you think it's ridiculous?" At the same time, Kong Fang secretly glanced at Zhao Yong's left hand and saw that there was a faint purple glow flowing on his left hand.

  "That must be the Thousand Mile Contraction Symbol, he's really cautious, always ready to use the Thousand Mile Contraction Symbol to escape. If I want to fight him, I must first cut off his left hand, so that he won't have a chance to activate the Thousand Mile Contraction Symbol and escape thousands of miles away." Kong Fang thought to himself.

  "Hmm."

  Zhao Yong snorted and took off the fake mask from his face.

  "The bandits here have all been killed by you, it seems your strength has increased quite quickly." Zhao Yong said coldly. In fact, Zhao Yong's words were meant to probe Kong Fang's true abilities, for he knew clearly that the leader of these bandits was a cultivator who had entered the Lingyuan realm, and such a cultivator was far stronger than them, who were only in the Yīnghún realm.

  Kong Fang either killed the leader of the bandits who entered the spiritual realm, or he didn't encounter the leader at all. Although Zhao Yong didn't think Kong Fang could kill the leader of the bandits in the spiritual realm, he cautiously decided to extract some information first. This would determine whether he would directly use the Thousand Mile Shrinking Earth Symbol to escape or take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Kong Fang, a thorn in his side.

  There aren't many opportunities to fight one-on-one, and Zhao Yong doesn't want to miss this good chance either. Moreover, as long as Kong Fang doesn't have the strength to kill a Spirit Realm cultivator, Zhao Yong still has extremely strong confidence in his own strength.

  "Those damned bandits were indeed all killed by me, and even their leader was easily taken care of. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find their lair. What, are you afraid?" Kong Fang coldly smiled and directly admitted it, his gaze at Zhao Yong full of provocation.

  At this time, the more negative it is, the easier it is to make Zhao Yong suspicious. Therefore, Kong Fang deliberately did the opposite and exaggerated the facts.

  As expected, after hearing Kong Fang's words, Zhao Yong not only didn't immediately run away, but a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "You really are overestimating yourself. That bandit leader has the strength to enter the Spiritual Realm, and you think you can kill him?" Zhao Yong spoke while carefully observing Kong Fang's expression.

  Kong Fang's expression was slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered. Seeing Kong Fang's subtle change in expression, Zhao Yong became even more certain that what Kong Fang had just said was all false.

  "It's either you die or I live, and it's not worth wasting words on someone like you." This was all to prevent Zhao Yong from running away immediately, and since the timing was almost right, Kong Fang didn't plan to continue talking to Zhao Yong anymore.

  Kong Fang took out a low-grade, post-heavenly spiritual treasure-level black heavy sword from the storage ring. This was something he had just refined yesterday. Kong Fang also wore a suit of armor that reached the level of a low-grade, post-heavenly spiritual treasure.

  Kong Fang's feet exerted force and quickly rushed towards Zhao Yong, the earth-traversing technique surged on his body, and there was a hint of harmony with the ground beneath his feet.

  Zhao Yong was suddenly shocked to discover that Kong Fang, who rushed over quickly, was like a towering mountain rushing over, although he didn't have the sharpness of a knife or sword, but his thickness was like a mountain, and the impact on people was not small at all. On the contrary, the sense of oppression was even stronger.

  "Today will be the day you die." Zhao Yong roared, shaking off Kong Fang's oppressive aura. He then jumped down from the giant stone, and as soon as he landed, a red longsword appeared in his hand. This red longsword had also reached the level of a lower-grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure, but it wasn't one that Zhao Yong had refined himself; rather, it was one he had exchanged for at the Lingbao Hall.

  Zhao Yong's body erupted with flames, quickly forming a layer of flame armor on his surface, shining red light, extremely extraordinary. This is the Huo Xing Dao Fa that every Nei Tang disciple can obtain - Jin Yan Hua Shen, a defensive Dao Fa.

  Seeing this, Kong Fang also stopped hiding his clumsiness. His magical powers quickly circulated according to the defensive Taoist method of the Great Earth War Armor, and a layer of yellowish-brown light suddenly appeared on his body.

  The Earthly Warrior's Armor technique, even with Kong Fang's current cultivation level, can only be cultivated to a certain extent. To cultivate the more profound parts of the technique, one must wait until their cultivation level is elevated. The Earthly Warrior's Armor can only unleash its strongest power when it reaches the peak of the Huan Ling realm. At that time, it can even form a layer of true armor on the body's surface, which is more secure than protective armor, as defensive techniques can protect the entire body.

  Zhao Yong's body was clad in flame armor, while Kong Fang's had a yellowish glow. Judging from their appearance, Zhao Yong's defensive Dao method seemed to be much better than Kong Fang's, but Kong Fang knew just how terrifying the Earthly War Armor's defense was.

  "Haha, you think you can defeat me with this kind of Taoist magic? Dream on." Zhao Yong burst out laughing, then his expression suddenly turned icy and cold. "Today is your day of death."

  Two figures suddenly drew near, two swords, one a black heavy sword and the other a red long sword, collided violently together.

  A loud crash, two swords collided, and a terrifyingly huge sound suddenly burst out.
