Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

At this moment, Gu Shuo detonated his natal magic weapon, which greatly damaged his vital energy. He kept coughing up blood, but he could only desperately flee in order to survive.

It didn't take long at all before they flew directly out of the third level and arrived at the second level.

Lu Fan, who was behind him, was noticeably slower after being shocked by Gu Shuo's self-destructing natal magic weapon.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon Wings, which were also imbued with true essence, were even faster.

However, after these repeated expenditures, Lu Fan's spiritual energy was now almost depleted.

If we can't kill Gu Shuo before he escapes to the first floor, then we'll have no chance at all.

"This guy! How can he have so many treasures! How did he get those strange bone wings?!" Gu Shuo's face was ashen.

Even he never owned a single ancient treasure, yet Lu Fan produced two!

But now was clearly not the time to think about that. Gu Shuo accelerated desperately, his figure traversing the vast desert, heading straight for the first level.

At that moment, Lu Fan also leaped out of the third level. Then, with a wave of his hand, the Demon-Hunting Bow appeared in his grasp. He shouted, "Fellow Daoist Gu! Stop running! I have no deep-seated hatred for you. Even if I kill you, I will not annihilate your soul. If you continue to flee, and I catch up, I will surely erase your soul!"

Hearing the voice transmission behind him, Gu Shuo's face twitched, and he shouted, "You bastard! Once you leave the Fire Cave, it will be your death day!"

"Since Fellow Daoist Gu remains so stubborn, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, he immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow. Bolts of lightning swirled around the bowstring as he began to gather power.

Gu Shuo felt the chill surging from behind him, and was so frightened that he spat out another mouthful of true energy, accelerating a second time. The injury on his right shoulder also ruptured on the spot, and a large amount of blood sprayed out.

boom!

With his energy fully charged, Lu Fan fired an arrow straight at Gu Shuo.

At that moment, Gu Shuo, who was flying at high speed, patted his storage bag, and a large number of low-grade flying swords shot out, heading straight for the lightning arrow.

boom!

With a loud bang, countless low-grade flying swords detonated the lightning arrow in mid-air.

Seeing that his first attack had failed, Lu Fan took out a few Qi-restoring pills and put them in his mouth, then continued to pull the bowstring.

"You bastard!" Gu Shuo was startled and immediately flung the black banner out again, sending it flying backward.

When Lu Fan saw the black banner being swung towards him, he immediately understood what Gu Shuo was planning to do: he was going to self-destruct his magic weapon again!

boom!

But Lu Fan didn't give him a chance and immediately charged up to shoot the arrow.

The second lightning arrow struck the Black Banner directly.

Boom!

Before Gu Shuo could detonate it, a deafening explosion rang out on the spot, and countless ghosts were released from the black banner, forming a dark ghost mist in front of Lu Fan.

hum!

As Lu Fan's body erupted with golden light, he activated his True Qi Technique and forcefully dispersed the ghostly mist!

However, some vengeful spirits delayed Lu Fan for a moment, giving Gu Shuo a brief respite as they approached the exit of the first level.

"They really are willing to give up anything to survive," Lu Fan thought, watching Gu Shuo disappear into the distance. He immediately sped up again to catch up.

...

at the same time.

While Lu Fan was chasing Gu Shuo, outside the Li Huo Cave, on those flying boats, the Nascent Soul elders of each family were still quietly waiting for good news from their disciples.

Inside the Wangyue Sect's flying boat, the Heavenly Fire Ancestor would occasionally peek through the boat's window at the entrance of the Li Huo Cave, pacing anxiously back and forth: "Alas, I wonder how my Lu Shizhi is doing; it's been almost two days."

At this moment, Madam Luan calmly sat to the side sipping tea and said, "Can you please stop pacing around? With Ling Xue following you, what are you worried about?"

"That's true, but my Master Lu has only just reached the Core Formation stage and isn't good at fighting. If he's surrounded, he'll definitely be in dire straits," said the Heavenly Fire Ancestor, scratching his eyebrow with his little finger.

"You know he's not good at fighting, yet you still sent him. Aren't you contradicting yourself?" Madam Luan rolled her eyes.

"Alas, you know the situation of my Xuan Yang Sword Sect. It's impossible to explain in just a few words," said the Heavenly Fire Ancestor, raising his hand slightly.

At the same time, at the bow of the flying boat of Jian Ge, Gu Xin stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes also fixed on the entrance of Li Huo Cave.

After all, Gu Chen is his direct descendant, while Gu Shuo is not only a direct descendant, but also a sword master that the Dao Sect has only seen once in a thousand years, and the elder with the best chance of forming a Nascent Soul.

Now that the two have ventured deep into the Fire Cave, Gu Xin is naturally somewhat worried.

Just as the Nascent Soul elders waited anxiously.

...

Inside the Li Huo Cave, Gu Shuo had already flown to the first level and was heading towards the exit. Seeing that Lu Fan was about to catch up, he could only stick a few speed-up talismans on himself to increase his speed.

"This guy can really run!" Lu Fan was getting anxious as he watched Gu Shuo getting closer and closer to the exit. If Gu Shuo hadn't self-destructed his natal magic weapon and thrown out the Black Luo Banner to delay him, he would have caught up and killed him long ago.

If Gu Shuo is killed on the first level, the Fire Cave is protected by an isolation barrier, and people outside will not notice.

But once Gu Shuo flies out of the first level, there's basically no chance left.

"Haha! You little bastard, so what if you have an ancient treasure! Once I get out, it will be your death day!" As they got closer and closer to the exit, Gu Shuo grinned and cursed.

After all, there are two Nascent Soul elders from his Sword Pavilion, Gu Xin and Xiao Jin, outside. If they learn that Gu Chen was killed and they themselves were severely injured, they will definitely try to kill Lu Fan. Even with the protection of the Heavenly Fire, he will surely die!

Lu Fan also knew that he only had one chance, so he raised the Demon Hunter Bow, aimed it at Gu Shuo, and immediately pulled back the bowstring!

Seeing the flashes of lightning behind him, Gu Shuo turned deathly pale with fright. He almost used his last breath to rush towards the cave that was so close at hand.

boom!

Lu Fan immediately released the bowstring, and a bolt of lightning ripped through the void, heading straight for Gu Shuo!

Even though Lu Fan was already rapidly gathering his strength, he was still a step too slow. Gu Shuo had already flown out of the Li Huo Cave through the passage!

There's no way to retract an arrow once it's been released. Lu Fan watched helplessly as the lightning arrow flew out, his face filled with alarm: "Damn it!"

"Ancestor! Save me!" At this moment, Gu Shuo suddenly rushed out of the Li Huo Cave and immediately looked at the Ancestor Gu Xin standing on the flying boat in the distance.

Before Gu Xin could react to what was happening, she saw a flash of lightning pass through the Li Huo Cave.

Boom!

A deafening roar rang out, and Gu Shuo, who had just flown out, was directly hit by a lightning arrow that followed from below!

Having already exhausted his spiritual energy and all his defensive means, Gu Shuo was no match for the close-range lightning arrow and was instantly blasted into a cloud of blood mist!

Even his golden core was shattered by the power of that lightning arrow!

How terrifying that attack was!

Gu Shuo's pupils contracted sharply, and the next moment, a flash of black light appeared, and Lu Fan's figure immediately floated in mid-air...

This sudden scene shocked all the Nascent Soul stage monsters present!
