Chapter 17 Han Paopao, Don't Run Away!
On the Three Emperors Prison Suppressing Hammer, lightning patterns flowed and flames flickered, while an earth-yellow suppressing power wrapped around the hammer body.
Qingfeng stood in mid-air, holding a hammer in one hand, and the surrounding space trembled slightly.
"thunder!"
Qingfeng made a feint with his hammer.
The lightning patterns on the hammer suddenly lit up, turning into dazzling bluish-white lightning that struck Elder Wang directly!
"Boom—!"
Elder Wang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly summoned the Hundred Bone Whisk.
Thousands of dust particles coiled like pythons, forming a white bone barrier above the head.
The lightning collided with the bone barrier, unleashing a deafening roar.
In just a short while, electric snakes danced wildly on the bone barrier, and cracks spread out everywhere!
"impossible……?!"
Elder Wang's blood surged, and his eyes were filled with horror.
However, Qingfeng did not give him a chance to catch his breath.
"earth!"
The giant hammer swung again, this time radiating a thick, earthen-yellow light.
An invisible tremor spread out from Qingfeng, instantly covering an area of a hundred feet in radius.
Elder Wang felt his body sink, and he plummeted towards the island below like a meteorite.
"boom!"
He crashed heavily onto the island's beach, kicking up a cloud of sand.
With his mid-stage Core Formation cultivation level, he couldn't even maintain his flight after this shock.
"What...what kind of magical artifact is this?!"
Elder Wang struggled to his feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with terror.
But Qingfeng didn't waste any words. In a flash, he was already ten feet in front of him.
"fire!"
He gripped the hammer with both hands and smashed it fiercely against Elder Wang's protective aura.
A burst of crimson flame erupted from the hammerhead, and the scorching heat melted the surrounding sand and gravel.
Elder Wang's pupils shrank sharply. At the critical moment of life and death, he bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto the Hundred Bone Duster.
"White Bones Rise!"
The Hundred Bone Dust Brush shone brightly, and dust threads grew and entangled wildly.
In fact, a three-zhang-tall white bone skeleton materialized in front of Elder Wang, blocking the explosive impact.
"boom--!"
After the collision and explosion, flames flew everywhere and bones shattered.
The shockwave spread throughout the entire island, and the tremors from the battle startled all the cultivators who were in seclusion there.
At this moment, the smoke and dust began to dissipate.
Elder Wang knelt on one knee, his body charred black, the spiritual light on his Hundred Bone Dust Brush dimmed, and several cracks appeared.
His aura had already dropped to the early stage of Core Formation, and was still weakening.
"Cough cough... Okay..."
Elder Wang coughed up several mouthfuls of black blood, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes.
"I've lived for over a hundred years, and I never imagined I'd fall into the hands of a spoiled brat like you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Wang pressed his hands firmly against his dantian!
"The Golden Core self-destructed?"
Qingfeng frowned and instantly retreated.
But Elder Wang was even faster. His body shone with golden light, and the power of his Golden Core surged out wildly. At the same time, the Hundred Bone Dust Brush also emitted a dazzling light!
"Let's die together!"
He laughed wildly as his Golden Core and Hundred Bone Dust Brush simultaneously self-destructed!
The combined power of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator detonating their Golden Core and their natal magic weapon is enough to severely injure a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.
Seeing that he couldn't escape the blast radius, Qingfeng's expression hardened, and he made a decision in an instant.
"go!"
He gave a low shout and tossed the defensive magic weapon, the Demon Bone Tower, upwards.
The little tower spun around and flew into the air, whereupon a burst of grayish-white light erupted.
In an instant, a towering gray-white pagoda, five zhang tall, descended, enveloping Qingfeng entirely.
Faint gray runes appeared inside and outside the tower, slowly flowing and forming an indestructible barrier.
"Boom—!"
A deafening explosion rang out.
The spiritual energy shock from the self-destruction spread in all directions.
It took more than ten breaths for the situation to gradually calm down.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, the gray-white bone tower shimmered with a gray light, without even a single crack.
However, the runes around the tower were a bit dimmer than before.
The tower gate slowly opened, and Qingfeng walked out, his expression unchanged.
He looked toward the epicenter of the explosion, where a huge crater had formed.
Elder Wang left not a trace; his soul and spirit were completely annihilated.
Qingfeng reached out and beckoned, causing the Demon Bone Tower to shrink and fly back into his palm.
He examined it carefully and found that the tower was intact, but its spiritual energy was greatly depleted.
"The power of the Golden Core self-destruction is indeed extraordinary."
"If it weren't for this Demon Bone Tower, I would probably have been injured today."
Qingfeng scanned his surroundings with his divine sense.
Elder Wang revealed that his storage bag had been reduced to ashes.
"Fellow Daoist in the distance, I see you."
Qingfeng turned around and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the east side of the island.
Just now, someone was using their divine sense to spy on the battle over here.
Following the direction of his senses, Qingfeng quickly found a cave dwelling.
"Did they abandon their cave and run away?"
Sensing the disappearing aura, Qingfeng frowned.
He looked at the array set up around the cave and suddenly felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
"Spirit Gathering Array, Water Spirit Array, and Five Elements Reversal Array!"
Could this be... Han Li's cave dwelling on Little Huan Island?! And that cultivator who just ran away... was that Han Li...?
Qingfeng was speechless. No wonder he's called Han Paopao (meaning "Han the Runner").
I was also hoping to get some cultivation techniques and spirit insects from him.
Why are you running away?
"Oh, it's alright, Han Paopao, see you on Kuixing Island."
Qingfeng sighed, then transformed into a streak of azure light and flew towards the convoy.
A hundred miles away, the battlefield for the convoy was nearing its end.
Yuan Yao and Yan Li joined forces, resulting in the deaths and injuries of most of the Giant Whale Gang members.
When Qingfeng returned, the guards, under the command of the two women, were counting the spoils of war and treating the wounded.
Upon seeing Qingfeng return, Yuan Yao and Yanli immediately went to greet him.
"Young master, are you alright?"
Yuan Yao asked with concern.
"It's alright. Elder Wang has already been executed."
Qingfeng said with a smile, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield.
"How about here?"
"Reporting to Young Master, the Giant Whale Gang has killed thirty-seven people and captured twelve."
Five of our guards were killed and nine were wounded.
Yanli reported it promptly.
Qingfeng nodded, his gaze falling on the prisoners.
"Find a place and interrogate these people. See if they know who instigated Zhang and Wang."
These two old geezers alone wouldn't dare betray Qingyang Sect.
The person behind this is probably using these two fools as a test.
Qingfeng pondered for a moment and then gave the instructions.
"Yes! Don't worry, young master, I will make them reveal all the information they know."
Yanli and Yuanyao both revealed sinister smiles.
They looked like two female demons from the demonic path.
Seeing the two women happily go to interrogate the prisoners, Qingfeng shook his head.
Who taught you this? Your art style is getting more and more off track.
……
On a desolate island hundreds of miles away, a flying boat slowly landed.
A dark-skinned, plain-looking Foundation Establishment cultivator was panting heavily, his face tense.
"Phew, we've sped this far, that guy shouldn't be chasing us, right?"
"What bad luck! How could two Core Formation cultivators be fighting near my cave?"
The cultivator who ran away was none other than Han Li, also known as Han the Runner.
"Sigh, I'll have to be more careful in the future. I'd better avoid these kinds of crowds as soon as possible."
Han Li believed his divine sense was strong enough that he wouldn't be discovered while spying.
However, the young Core Formation cultivator saw through his plan and pinpointed his location.
Startled, he had to use a concealment technique and a spirit-hiding veil to escape underground and then hide his body as he ran along the seabed.
Finally, they boarded a flying boat and fled hundreds of miles away.
"Never mind, since my cultivation is currently stuck at a bottleneck, I should still come out and search for the materials needed to break through to the Core Formation stage."
I wonder if there's any Heavenly Fire Liquid or Snow Spirit Water on Kui Xing Island.
After swallowing a few Rejuvenation Pills and recovering some of his magical power, Han Paopao piloted his flying boat towards Kui Xing Island.
