Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

"Damn it...run!!"

Upon seeing Yan Ming and his three companions pursuing them, the seven cultivators outside Yan Family Fortress all chose a direction and fled desperately.

The only chance of survival is to leave everyone else behind.

But just as everyone started moving, Chen Xu's figure shot out like an arrow.

He stayed close to the snow, taking advantage of the undulating terrain and the cover of the snowstorm to maximize his speed advantage.

The combination of the Lightness Talisman and the Shadow Step allowed him to quickly surpass the early Foundation Establishment cultivator who was fully activating his escape light!

"What?!" The Foundation Establishment cultivator was shocked and filled with disbelief.

"How can someone at the mere eighth level of Qi Refining achieve such speed!?"

Yan Ming, who was not far away, licked his lips and moved to personally chase after the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As for Chen Xu... he ran too fast, and he didn't want to waste the time.

After all, refining a Qi Refining cultivator is nowhere near as effective as refining a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Just then, the black-robed cultivator from the Dark Pavilion finally appeared and blocked Yan Ming's way.

"Old Ghost, your opponent is me!"

Yan Ming paused, his gaze towards the black-robed cultivator filled with mockery:

"Hehehe..."

"Those scoundrels from the Dark Pavilion, how dare they ruin my plans!"

"I'll use your essence and blood from your mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivation to help me achieve perfect cultivation!"

His eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, and he ordered the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Yan family beside him: "Yan Hu, come with me and capture this man!"

"Yan Niu, Yan Hu, go after the others! Once we refine them, my Core Formation will be within reach!"

"Yes, sir!"

……

At this moment, the early Foundation Establishment cultivator was flying away at full speed when he saw a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Yan family chasing after him, and his gaze gradually darkened.

Then he looked at Chen Xu in front of him, and a wicked thought instantly arose in his mind.

"Kid, I'm sorry!" The Foundation Establishment cultivator raised his hand and summoned a circular magic artifact.

The wheel swelled as it faced the wind, carrying a powerful suction force that enveloped Chen Xu's back.

He actually intended to use this magical artifact to capture Chen Xu, thus buying himself time to escape.

"Hmph!" Just as the wheel was about to hit him, Chen Xu let out a cold laugh.

He had already thoroughly investigated the strength and background of this Foundation Establishment cultivator in the jade slip space.

His methods were mediocre, and his spiritual power was weak. He probably used some secret technique to forcibly establish his foundation, and he is not worth fearing at all.

Then Chen Xu raised his hand and waved it, sending out hundreds of first-tier talismans that transformed into a net.

Although it couldn't cause too much damage to that Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was enough to control him and then escape.

"What an exquisite method of controlling talismans!" The Foundation Establishment cultivator's pupils shrank suddenly, his heart filled with horror.

Faced with this method of dividing and controlling hundreds of talismans, he had no choice but to withdraw his circular magic weapon to defend against it.

Although the wheel blocked most of the talismans flying everywhere, he was still slowed down by this wave of attacks for a moment.

"You little beast!!" The Foundation Establishment cultivator's eyes widened in fury as he watched Chen Xu disappear into the distance.

However, in that instant, the cultivators from the Yan family had already come to pursue them.

"You'd better stay!"

Seeing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator had no choice but to turn around and engage in a fierce battle with him.

He was filled with regret. If he hadn't been greedy for that little bit of time to scheme against Chen Xu, he might not have been caught up with so quickly when he was running away at all costs.

Chen Xu remained unfazed, pushing his Shadow Step to its limit.

After all, the black-robed cultivator was not as strong as Yan Ming, and probably wouldn't last long.

Just then, a yellow-green streak of light arrived in an instant and hovered high above Yan Family Fortress.

Under its terrifying pressure, everyone's movements suddenly froze, unable to move.

Chen Xu suddenly stopped, his heart filled with horror. He struggled to raise his head and look at the source of the oppressive force.

Within the beam of light, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a blue brocade robe, with a refined air about him, stood with his hands behind his back.

"Why is the sect leader here?!" Chen Xu was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

This place is thousands of miles away from Hansong Gate, and it would take at least a month for information to arrive.

Could it be that... the sect leader already knew about the incident before it happened?

Thinking of this, Chen Xu turned his gaze to the black-robed cultivator in the distance.

Although the black-robed cultivator's movements were frozen, the corners of his mouth, hidden in the shadow of his hood, seemed to be slightly upturned.

"Wen...Wen Tianhe?!" Yan Ming's youthful face was now filled with shock.

He abruptly turned his head, staring intently at the black-robed cultivator, and roared:

"It's you? You scoundrel from the Dark Pavilion! You must have been in cahoots with Wen Tianhe all along!"

Upon hearing this, the black-robed cultivator scoffed, "Old ghost Yan, why spout such baseless accusations?"

"You broke the rules first, complaining that the Blood Pill wasn't hot enough, and now you want to refine it yourself too. We're even."

Yan Ming's face was filled with resentment and he said no more. He immediately used a secret technique, and his whole body turned into a blood streak and fled towards the sky.

This act consumed most of his life force, all in an attempt to fight for a sliver of hope.

However, this struggle seemed so futile in the face of a Core Formation cultivator.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Wen Tianhe merely snorted coldly, and in an instant, Yan Ming's disheveled figure reappeared, crashing heavily onto the snow.

Yan Ming spat out a mouthful of black blood, his eyes filled with despair.

Even after burning his own life essence, he still couldn't escape...

At this moment, Wen Tianhe raised his hand and gestured, and the surrounding corpses turned into wisps of blood energy, converging towards Wen Tianhe.

At the same time, the enormous blood pill formed from the essence and blood of countless cultivators above Yan Family Fortress shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of bloody energy.

Wen Tianhe slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and a dreamy expression appeared on his face:

"What wonderful blood energy..."

Yan Ming's eyes widened in fury as he watched the blood pill he had painstakingly obtained shatter.

"No!! My blood pill!!"

He was so angry that he vomited another mouthful of black blood and fainted.

Chen Xu looked at the blood-red aura filling the sky, his thoughts racing.

"While the sect leader's method of absorbing blood essence isn't as effective as ingesting blood pills, its side effects should be significantly weaker..."

It's impossible to have absolutely no side effects.

Otherwise, the cultivation world would have been in chaos long ago.

"Not enough," Wen Tianhe's voice rang out again.

Before he finished speaking, he flipped his hand and pressed down.

Under its terrifying spiritual power, all the Yan family cultivators here instantly exploded, turning into blood energy that surged into Wen Tianhe's body.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xu was horrified: "Is this the strength of a Core Formation cultivator?! It's truly terrifying..."

In the air, Wen Tianhe greedily opened his mouth and nose, and after swallowing the blood essence, his aura rapidly increased.

An even more powerful spiritual pressure suddenly spread out, sweeping across the entire Yan Family Fortress.

"He broke through!?" Chen Xu exclaimed inwardly.

In just a few years, this Sect Master Hansong has broken through from the initial stage of Core Formation to the mid-stage of Core Formation...

Only when the earth-shattering spiritual pressure slowly subsided did the snow begin to fall again.

The black-robed cultivator who had been standing respectfully below finally stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:

"Congratulations, Sect Master Wen, on breaking through to the mid-stage of Core Formation."
