Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

Seeing the look on Elder Jing's face that told him to refuse, Lu Fan did not comply, and his eyes gradually sharpened.

Wang Qingzhu's regret left him no room for hesitation. Even though he was still insignificant at the moment, he was determined not to let that regret repeat itself, as long as he had any strength at this moment.

If he doesn't make a choice today, it will probably become a persistent inner demon for him.

The reason why the inner demons of a Core Formation cultivator are so terrifying when they reach the Nascent Soul stage is precisely because of their powerlessness, helplessness, and endless regrets during their weaker state.

Therefore, Lu Fan made his own choice and said, "Since you want to fight me to the death, then I will accept. I have killed plenty of Core Formation cultivators, so one more or one less will not make a difference."

When Lu Fan said this, even the old ancestor Jing was surprised. He didn't expect Lu Fan to agree!

"Hehe! Good, that's arrogant enough!" Zhao Xun chuckled, then looked at Shi Fengtian and said, "Senior Shi, since Fellow Daoist Lu has accepted my invitation to a death match, I would like to ask Senior Shi to be a witness."

At this moment, Shi Fengtian looked at Lu Fan and said, "Young friend Lu, there are also differences in strength among those in the mid-stage of Core Formation. Killing Gu Shuo does not mean you are guaranteed to win. I advise you not to fight so fiercely. If you leave now, you will still have room to maneuver. But once the death battle begins and both sides sign a death battle contract, there will be no chance to go back on your word."

"Lu Fan..." Ye Lingxi's eyes were filled with worry.

"Don't worry," Lu Fan said, then looked at Shi Fengtian: "Thank you for the reminder, senior. Let's sign the deathmatch contract then."

"Sigh," Ancestor Jing sighed helplessly. Although he had heard Ancestor Tianhuo say that Lu Fan's strength far surpassed that of ordinary Core Formation cultivators, he had not seen it with his own eyes.

He still harbored concerns about whether he could defeat Zhao Xun.

Seeing Ancestor Jing sigh, Lu Fan transmitted his voice and said, "Ancestor, don't worry. If I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have agreed to the fight to the death. This Blood Longevity Old Monster injured Ancestor Heavenly Fire, so I will make up for it by taking down this Xuanming Sect Young Master."

"Alright, since you've made your decision, then be extra careful," Elder Jing replied.

At this moment, the Blood Elder raised his hand and released a contract of unknown material, which floated in mid-air. He said, "Boy, this is the Deathmatch Contract. After signing it, if you are defeated and beg for mercy, or try to escape, you will immediately suffer a backlash that kills you. If you have the guts..."

Before the old monster Xue Shou could finish speaking, Lu Fan raised his hand and flicked a drop of his essence blood onto the contract.

Zhao Xun followed suit, raising his hand to offer a drop of his essence blood, thus completing the deathmatch contract.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please!" After saying this, Zhao Xun instantly transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the plaza outside the hall.

Lu Fan followed closely behind, followed by the three Nascent Soul cultivators and Ye Lingxi, all of whom went out as well.

As Zhao Xun flew to the square, he immediately stood suspended in mid-air. Then, with a wave of his hand, a small bone fell into his palm. He then flicked it with his thumb against his index finger, and the bone immediately fell to the ground.

Rumble!

The moment the bone hit the ground, it began to replicate and proliferate almost instantly! A mountain of bones rose from the ground without warning, reaching a height of thirty feet!

Then Zhao Xun slowly landed on the mountain of bones, his eyes filled with amusement as he looked at Lu Fan, who was standing opposite him.

Looking at the mountain of bones that rose from the ground, Lu Fan frowned, clearly not understanding what kind of treasure it was.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, let me test your quality with this immortal bone first," Zhao Xun said, raising two fingers and pointing sharply.

Click click click...

The next moment, the once lifeless mountain of bones seemed to come alive. The bones immediately assembled automatically and in an instant, they turned into five skeletal giants, each about three zhang tall!

As soon as the skeletal giant took shape, it unleashed an overwhelming aura of death and charged towards Lu Fan in an instant.

Not knowing whether the immortal bone was a magic weapon or an ancient treasure, Lu Fan didn't dare to be careless. He immediately took out the Sand Compass, and with a thought, spiritual sand flew out and immediately transformed into five sand soldiers, each three zhang tall.

The sand soldiers, wielding long halberds and under Lu Fan's control, also launched an attack.

Before the skeletal giant could even make a move, the sand soldier had already swung his halberd and slashed it down hard at the giant's head.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, the skeletal giant's head was shattered almost instantly!

This made Lu Fan look at him with disdain. He thought it was some rare ancient treasure that he had never seen before, but now it seemed that it was just a bluff.

However, the skeletal giant whose head had been smashed did not retreat even half a step; in fact, its shattered head almost instantly reformed!

call!

The next moment, the five skeletal giants opened their mouths almost simultaneously, spewing out a large cloud of black gas that sprayed directly onto the sand soldiers.

The moment the black mist came into contact with the sand soldiers, it seemed to seal away the spiritual essence of the sand!

Splash...

The next moment, the five sand soldiers almost instantly disintegrated, turning into a puddle of ordinary sand.

"What's going on! This black energy can actually make my spiritual sand lose its spiritual power?" Lu Fan was shocked. It seems that he had underestimated this skeletal giant.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, don't blame me for not reminding you. Although my immortal bone seems useless and moves slowly, the deathly aura it spews out can isolate all attacks driven by spiritual power. I hope you don't die too quickly, at least let me have some fun." Zhao Xun seemed to be quite confident in his strength and didn't mind revealing the attack methods of his skeletal giant.

"Your deathly aura is somewhat similar to that of the old ghost's corpse aura. At this level, killing me won't be so easy," Lu Fan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xun immediately laughed: "Heh heh, the aura of the Netherworld Corpse? That's nothing more than a wisp of deadly energy extracted from my immortal bones by that old ghost, combined with corpse energy. In terms of power, I'm its grandmaster!"

As soon as Zhao Xun finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand and grabbed at the air. In an instant, the five skeletal giants disintegrated and reformed, transforming into a bone dragon several tens of feet long, baring its fangs and claws as it charged toward Lu Fan!

Lu Fan, not to be outdone, unleashed the wooden dragon with a flick of his wrist!

As the dragon charged out, it immediately trembled and tore at the bone dragon in mid-air!

Shi Fengtian, who was watching the show from a distance, smiled and said, "I didn't expect this young friend Lu to be so skilled, countering every move and even using an ancient treasure."

When Ancestor Jing saw Lu Fan using an ancient treasure, he was slightly surprised. After all, it was indeed rare for someone in the Core Formation stage to possess a powerful offensive ancient treasure.

The old monster Xue Shou grinned and said, "He can only parry one move at a time? I doubt he can parry more than that. How could the young master of my Xuanming Sect only know one technique? He hasn't even used a tenth of his level yet, it's not even a warm-up."

The Blood Elder Monster was naturally very familiar with Zhao Xun's strength; otherwise, he wouldn't have put him in a life-or-death battle with Lu Fan.

In battles between high-level cultivators, if one lacks the ability to instantly kill the opponent, the initial encounters will naturally be mostly for testing each other.

Zhao Xun's use of the Immortal Bone was clearly an attempt to force Lu Fan to reveal all his treasures.
