Free Web NovelChapter 305: Fierce Battle with Mo Yunhe
The appearance of Mo Yunhe was like the whisper of the Grim Reaper, instantly freezing the entire forest clearing.
The terrifying pressure of the Middle Nascent Soul Stage, like tangible heavy water, pressed in from all directions; the air became so thick it was almost impossible to breathe, and the light even seemed to dim slightly.
Fang Hao could even feel that the circulation of Spiritual Qi within his body had become sluggish and difficult due to this pressure.
"Middle Nascent Soul Stage... it is indeed far stronger than the Early Nascent Soul Stage."
Fang Hao felt a sense of dread in his heart, but his eyes became increasingly sharp and calm.
He did not panic; instead, he slowly straightened his body and stood tall, like a reef standing firm amidst raging waves.
With the Perfection of the fourth stage of the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Art, "Golden Qi Marrow Cleansing," his Physical Body’s blood surged like mercury, and a low humming sound, like the clashing of gold and jade, emanated from deep within his bones.
He forcefully resisted the omnipresent pressure, and a layer of extremely faint yet incredibly tough platinum luster faintly appeared on the surface of his body.
"Oh?" High up on a treetop, a trace of slight surprise flashed in Mo Yunhe’s cold eyes.
He had not expected that a mere Golden Core Cultivator with a Perfected Golden Core could stand so steadily under his Nascent Soul pressure, and even faintly give off a strange feeling that his Physical Body was contending with heaven and earth.
In particular, the faint platinum luster on Fang Hao’s body made him feel an unusual sharpness and sturdiness.
"A Body Cultivator? And with no small amount of accomplishment."
Mo Yunhe judged in his heart, but his killing intent did not decrease, but rather increased.
Being so young and already possessing such cultivation and a powerful Physical Body, while also carrying a precious treasure like the "void stone," and possibly even hiding other secrets, this boy must not be left alive!
"Junior, to be able to kill two of my Golden Core subordinates and cultivate such impressive Body Refining arts, I have indeed underestimated you."
Mo Yunhe’s voice was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger, but it carried a condescending tone of judgment.
"Unfortunately, you should not have touched my things, and even less should you have killed my people."
"Hand over the ’void stone’ and your Storage Ring, and commit suicide here; I can leave you with an intact corpse. Otherwise, I will extract your Soul and refine your spirit, ensuring you never reincarnate for eternity!"
He did not give Fang Hao any chance to explain or beg for mercy; the arrogance and coldness of a Nascent Soul Old Monster were fully displayed.
Upon hearing this, not only was there no fear on Fang Hao’s face, but he instead revealed a cold, slightly mocking smile: "Elder Mo, what great majesty."
"The item was won by me fair and square, and your people attacked first. If they were unskilled, they deserved to die."
"If you want my things, come and take them with your ability. Why waste breath?"
"You’re courting death!"
Cold light exploded from Mo Yunhe’s eyes. He was already impatient, and now, provoked by Fang Hao’s words, his killing intent grew even stronger.
He said no more, raised his right hand, and pointed from afar towards Fang Hao.
Without any complex incantations, just this simple point caused the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth to suddenly become chaotic and converge!
A gray-white finger beam, as thin as a strand of hair but condensed to the extreme, instantly crossed dozens of zhang in distance.
It was silent, yet it carried a terrifying Concept of freezing the Soul and annihilating life, shooting rapidly toward the center of Fang Hao’s brows!
This finger beam looked inconspicuous, but it was one of Mo Yunhe’s famous unique skills—the "Mysterious Yin Finger"!
The finger beam contained the Mysterious Yin Qi he had painstakingly cultivated, specifically designed to break through protective spiritual light, erode the Physical Body’s Meridians, and freeze the Divine Soul.
Those struck by it often had their life force severed from the inside out, making it extremely sinister and vicious.
Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator of the same stage would not dare to take it head-on easily.
The speed of the finger beam was too fast, almost ignoring spatial distance, arriving in an instant!
Fang Hao’s pupils contracted slightly; he could feel the terrifying power contained in this finger, which a Golden Core Cultivator could definitely not withstand.
He did not choose to clash head-on; he stomped his foot hard, the ground exploded with a boom, and his figure shifted several zhang to the side like a ghost!
This was exactly the performance of the Divine Spirit Steps being pushed to the extreme!
Swoosh!
The gray-white finger beam grazed past Fang Hao’s ear and struck a huge rock several people tall behind him.
A thumb-thick, bottomless hole appeared silently on the surface of the rock.
A layer of gray-white ice crystals quickly spread around the hole, and the vitality inside the rock seemed to be instantly drained, becoming incredibly fragile.
A breeze blew, and it turned into rustling powder and drifted away.
"What fast movement technique!" The surprise in Mo Yunhe’s eyes grew stronger.
His finger strike looked casual, but in reality, it had locked onto Fang Hao’s Qi.
Ordinary Golden Core Cultivators would have no way to avoid it; he had not expected Fang Hao to be able to dodge it with such strange and swift movement techniques.
"Let’s see how many times you can dodge!" Mo Yunhe snorted coldly, both hands came out together, and his ten fingers flicked repeatedly!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Ten gray-white "Mysterious Yin Finger" beams, like a pear blossom rainstorm, covered all the evasion space around Fang Hao, sealing off all his retreat paths up, down, left, and right!
This time, he held nothing back; the finger beams were denser and even more powerful, clearly intending to kill Fang Hao in one blow!
Facing this unavoidable storm of finger beams, a flash of ferocity appeared in Fang Hao’s eyes, and he stopped dodging!
He let out a low roar, his entire body’s blood boiled, and the faint platinum luster on his body surface suddenly became solid and brilliant!
Under his skin, it felt as if liquid metal was flowing, and his bones emitted a roar like bells and chimes!
The Physical Body strength from the Perfection of the fourth stage of the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Art was pushed to the limit!
At the same time, the Earthly Fiend Golden Flame within his Dantian flickered slightly, and a scorching, sharp aura infused his limbs and bones.
He clenched his fists tightly, advancing instead of retreating, and charged head-on into the sky-filling gray-white finger beams!
He swung his fists, turning them into a dense shadow of fists.
Each punch was as heavy as a mountain, yet as fast as lightning, smashing with incredible precision toward the incoming finger beams!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
The dense, rain-like explosions rang out in the forest!
The gray-white finger beams and Fang Hao’s platinum-lustered fists collided and annihilated each other continuously!
The terrifying energy flew in all directions, cutting the surrounding ground and trees into a mess.
Fang Hao’s figure weaved through the storm of finger beams, like dancing on the tip of a blade, in constant danger.
From his fists, the bone-chilling, life-eroding Mysterious Yin Qi constantly came, along with the sharp penetrating power of the finger beams, attempting to break through his defense.
If not for his incredibly powerful Physical Body and the Fusion of a trace of the Earthly Fiend Golden Flame’s power, which had a strong restraining effect on the Yin-cold power, he would likely have long since been pierced and frozen to death by the finger beams.
Even so, he was not having an easy time.
After clashing head-on with dozens of finger beams, the platinum luster on his body was significantly dimmer.
On his fists, several wounds deep enough to see bone had appeared, and the blood flowing out carried a trace of platinum luster, yet it was quickly frozen into ice shards by the residual Mysterious Yin Qi at the wounds.
His breathing was also slightly disordered, clearly indicating a huge expenditure.
"To actually be able to take my ’Mysterious Yin Finger’ head-on without dying?!"
This time, Mo Yunhe was truly shocked.
He knew the power of his "Mysterious Yin Finger" best; even an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would be injured if they took it head-on.
This kid with a Perfected Golden Core in front of him had actually resisted it with his Physical Body?
This Physical Body strength was simply inconceivable!
It probably already surpassed that of an ordinary Early Nascent Soul Stage Body Cultivator!
"This boy must not be left alive! I must take advantage of the fact that he has not yet matured to completely eradicate him!"
The killing intent in Mo Yunhe’s eyes surged, and he no longer had any heart for playful teasing.
He slammed his hands together and chanted incantations.
The gray-white Mysterious Yin Qi around his body surged crazily, and above his head, it condensed into a Mysterious Yin Ghost Claw several zhang in size, entirely composed of Mysterious Yin Qi, vivid and lifelike, with cold and cruel eyes!
As soon as this ghost claw appeared, the temperature of the entire forest clearing suddenly dropped below freezing point, and even the air seemed to be freezing, with thick white frost forming on the ground.
The five fingers of the ghost claw spread wide, carrying the terrifying momentum of freezing all things and tearing apart the Divine Soul, and grabbed down at Fang Hao’s head!
The power of this strike was far superior to the previous "Mysterious Yin Finger," clearly one of Mo Yunhe’s killer moves!
Fang Hao looked up, watching the Mysterious Yin Ghost Claw that blotted out the sky as it grabbed down, and felt a fatal threat.
He knew that relying solely on his Physical Body, he would likely be unable to fully withstand this strike.
"It is time."
A flash of determination crossed Fang Hao’s eyes.
With a thought, the golden puppet that had been silent in his Storage Ring was instantly released, blocking in front of him!
Hum—!
