Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 573 - 288: Killing and Harvest

"As long as you understand in your heart!"

Ding Ming nodded slightly, then spoke, "Remember, after you slay the opponent, we’ll split the spoils fifty-fifty."

"Xiang is naturally not one to go back on his words!"

Xiang Hong’s hands swiftly formed a magic technique, and in an instant, the Mana surged around him vigorously. His whole being turned into a dazzling stream of light, rapidly chasing in the direction Xu Ping had gone.

The speed of that stream of light was incomparably fast, vanishing to the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.

Ding Ming silently watched this scene unfold. Although only Xiang Hong went to pursue this time, there was not the slightest worry in his heart.

After all, Xiang Hong was carrying an extremely special spiritual beast. Just moments ago, this spiritual beast had firmly memorized the aura left by Xu Ping as he departed.

As long as Xu Ping hadn’t escaped beyond several hundred miles, there was absolutely no way he could evade the pursuit.

Moreover, Xu Ping was merely a cultivator at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

While Xiang Hong was a genuine Late-Stage Golden Core expert. His expertise in the Puppet Array was formidable even against cultivators in the Golden Core Perfection.

...

...

"According to Gu Yuntao’s estimation, there should be about ten years left before we can launch an assault on the Seed Puppet Sect."

"I wonder if within these short ten years, my ’Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill’ will successfully break through to the sixth layer!" Xu Ping pondered secretly in his heart.

He carefully calculated that even with the assistance of the life force from the Water Lake Mouse, achieving a breakthrough still seemed somewhat lacking.

"However, if the Water Lake Mouse can successfully refine and consume the Candle Dragon Saliva, the life force contained in its blood will surely increase substantially."

A trace of uncontainable anticipation flashed across Xu Ping’s eyes as he muttered to himself,

"By then, the efficiency in cultivating ’Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill’ might improve significantly."

"Perhaps, I might really catch up with the realm breakthrough by the time we raid the Seed Puppet Sect!"

A dazzling azure rainbow, like a sharp sword light, instantly pierced through the vast sky, traversing dozens of miles in a flash.

Amid the flickering azure glow, Xu Ping suddenly and sharply halted his Escape Light. Mana surged crazily around him, swiftly consolidating into a solid light shield to protect himself.

At this moment, his expression was as gloomy as water, and his gaze coldly fixed on the rear.

Not long after, a pitch-black Escape Light, like black lightning, charged in with unstoppable fierce momentum at an astonishing speed!

Wherever that Escape Light passed, it seemed as if the air was forcibly torn apart by invisible giant hands, emitting a series of sharp, piercing whistles.

"To be able to sense my tracking, it seems your Divine Sense is quite extraordinary..."

The pitch-black Escape Light suddenly converged, revealing an elderly man with snow-white hair.

This man was clad in a dark long robe, evidently a Late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

His face exuded evil Qi, and just one look could tell he was no kind soul.

"Who exactly are you?"

Xu Ping frowned tightly, and with a flip of his hand, the Magical Treasure Wooden Sword instantly appeared in his grasp.

The blade of the wooden sword shimmered with a faint, elusive divine light, exuding a sharp and pressing aura.

"With just you, you’re not worthy to know the old man’s name."

Xiang Hong mocked with a hoarse voice, eyes filled with contempt,

"If you’re wise, hand over everything you have, including the Candle Dragon Saliva, and offer them to me!"

"Perhaps the old man might consider sparing your life!"

On hearing this, Xu Ping’s expression suddenly turned cold, a spark of anger flashed in his eyes: "Very well, it’s the Hundred Bamboo Sect again, I’ll remember this!"

The last time, the people from the Hundred Bamboo Sect schemed against him, and he still remembered.

And now it’s happening again!

Do they truly think they can bully him!

"Hmph, facing death yet still so stubborn!"

Xiang Hong snorted coldly and casually waved his sleeve.

In an instant, numerous bizarre-looking Puppets slowly emerged from a void space.

These Puppets emanated a chilling, metallic sheen, their eyes flickering with eerie red light, radiating a terrifying and grim aura.

Subsequently, Xiang Hong’s hands quickly changed seals while he chanted incantations. A mysterious sequence of spells flowed from his lips.

With the completion of the seals, the aura of all the Puppets immediately connected closely, resonating with each other, forming a seemingly perfect and tightly coordinated battle unit.

A tremendous pressure emanated from the Puppet group, spreading ripple-like waves in all directions, akin to a calm lake disrupted by a giant stone.

"Puppet Array!"

Xu Ping’s pupils suddenly constricted.

The Puppet Array before him was almost identical to the one Gu Yuntao had cast before, though this one was slightly smaller in scale.

Coupled with various clues, the identity of the person in front of him had become self-evident.

It must certainly be Xiang Hong, who previously contended with Gu Yuntao for the Celestial Marrow Stone, without a doubt.

"Attack!"

Xiang Hong’s hands rapidly executed magic techniques while he chanted incantations.

All the Puppets seemed to merge into one, their auras intertwined, forming a mysterious and powerful resonance.

A highly potent energy beam appeared like a roaring giant beast, materializing at the speed of light, carrying a terrifying and earth-shattering power, and blasted straight towards Xu Ping.

"This is the attack power of the Puppet Array!"

Watching the beam surge like a torrent rushing toward him, Xu Ping was secretly astonished.
