There's only one chapter left, sorry!
…
"I'll wait for you …"
Qin Fang calmly replied as he watched Sullivan leave.
However, he could only talk about it for a bit ….
In the sea, he could still fight Sullivan with the help of Xiaolong and the Celestial Silkworm. However, on land, even if he had ten lives, he wouldn't be able to kill Sullivan, who was at the peak of the late-stage Supreme Stage.
"Hehe, the roots of the Ancient Tree of Life … are mine!"
Compared to scaring Sullivan away, this was what made Qin Fang happy and excited. He stretched out his hand, and the slender vine easily fell into Qin Fang's hand.
"As expected of a Spirit Root … It feels different when I hold it in my hand!"
Holding this vine in his hand, he could clearly feel the terrifying life force contained within it. This was something that even some rare grade spirit herbs couldn't compare to. It was worthy of its origin!
A Spirit Root was a spiritual object nurtured by heaven and earth …
Although spiritual herbs were also very precious, compared to this kind of precious spiritual root, the difference was a hundred and eight thousand miles!
There were only a few things that could be called a Spirit Root, and all of them were treasures!
For example, in the ancient legends of the Long Province, the Ginseng Fruit Tree, the Peach Tree, the Yellow Bell Plum Tree, the Builder Tree … These were all first-class Spirit Roots, and they were the best of the best.
The Ancient Tree of Life originated from the World Tree … and the World Tree was a western name. In the Long Province, it was actually the Builder Tree.
In other words, the vine in Qin Fang's hand was actually a branch of the Builder Tree's root system. It possessed a very small portion of the Builder Tree's power, but it was still a very terrifying Spirit Root.
Such a supreme treasure in the hands of a tyrannical expert like Sullivan was truly frightening …
Xiaolong had swallowed the Taurus Saint Beast's beast soul and advanced its cultivation to the level of a Spirit Beast King … In the sea, it was comparable to a peak Supreme Stage powerhouse, and there shouldn't be anyone in the world who could be its match.
Even so, it had released almost all of its strength, and with the help of the Celestial Silkworm and Qin Fang, it only managed to snatch the vine from Sullivan's hand!
In order to save his own life, Sullivan did not use a method of mutual destruction. Otherwise, Qin Fang could only ask Xiaolong to give up the idea of snatching this section of Spirit Root … Although the Spirit Root was good, it was not worth mentioning compared to Xiaolong.
"Let's go, we should retreat …"
Now that he had obtained the item, Qin Fang naturally wouldn't stay here any longer.
He immediately called out to Little Dragon and Celestial Silkworm before diving into the sea. After that, he rushed to the Ireland Continent at the fastest speed … The sea that was still turbulent earlier quickly returned to calm as if there was no fierce battle here at all.
"Bastard … I'll definitely tear you!"
Sullivan, who had escaped back to the mainland, also watched as the sea returned to its calm state. Qin Fang's figure also disappeared without a trace, and his face became extremely ugly. Other than viciously cursing, there was nothing he could do.
"But … if you think you can escape back to the Long Province so easily, then you're dreaming!"
However, Sullivan was not stupid. Qin Fang obviously had his own motives for escaping here, so he immediately arranged a plan to hunt him down … The God-Slaying Spear, the Angelic Wings, and the root of the Ancient Tree of Life that he had just lost were all priceless treasures. He definitely couldn't let Qin Fang escape back to the Long Province.
If he really did return to the Long Province, then it would be Qin Fang's territory. No matter how powerful the Holy See was, they wouldn't dare to act rashly in the mainland of the Long Province … Dorosi was the best example. In the Long Province, Qin Fang, this young man, had killed him. If the older generation showed up, even if Dorosi was several times stronger, he would still have a dead end.
Not to mention, Sullivan had received news that three of the Long Province's "Emperor-level" experts of the "Four Emperors" had all returned to the Long Province … In addition to the enormous power of the Sects behind them, the Long Province was far from being a "dragon's pool and tiger's den". No matter how many Supreme-Level experts were thrown in, they probably wouldn't even be able to make a splash.
Qin Fang was currently moving rapidly at the bottom of the sea …
As a water-type divine beast, Xiaolong had an unparalleled advantage. He didn't even need Qin Fang to do anything, and everything was handled by him.
Sitting in a bubble, Qin Fang was able to relax and do some research.
Qin Fang had just obtained the vine of the Ancient Tree of Life, but at this moment, he directly threw it into the tool box … Qin Fang mainly intended to use it to cultivate the Azure Dragon Pill. This wasn't a good place to cultivate pills, and furthermore, he didn't have the materials ready.
What Qin Fang really valued was the ultimate technique of the Mount Shu Sword Sect that he exchanged for at Bilbados …
"Sword Manipulation Technique!"
Just from the name, one would know what this sword technique was like. At the same time, one could also associate it with the demeanor of the legendary Mount Shu Sword Celestials in the Long Province … However, flying on a sword was definitely not possible. The sword was only so big, and could only support the weight of a person, but it couldn't fly on a person.
"This is a sword technique that relies on one's spiritual energy to control …"
Qin Fang had obtained this sword manual for some time, but he hadn't been able to learn it … On one hand, time was too tight, and another important reason was that this sword manual needed to be comprehended before it could be cultivated.
After all, this wasn't a skill book that Qin Fang obtained when he leveled up, but a real sword manual … It couldn't be cultivated with a light tap, and it needed a process of comprehension.
"Congratulations on learning the skill … Sword Manipulation Technique!"
However, Qin Fang's current attainments in swordsmanship were no longer inferior to those sword cultivators. Especially after some of his encounters in the Xu Family's Sword Mound, he understood some of the mysteries of the Mount Shu Sword Sect's swordsmanship. Now, the difficulty of comprehending this Sword Manipulation Technique was much lower.
However, it still took Qin Fang close to four hours before he finally received such a notification.
"Sword Manipulation Technique upgraded to …"
"Sword Manipulation Technique upgraded to …"
"Sword Manipulation Technique upgraded to …"
Qin Fang had accumulated a huge amount of experience points. This Sword Manipulation Technique that he had just comprehended and learned was directly upgraded to the Grandmaster level by Qin Fang. His understanding of this ultimate skill was also much deeper.
Sitting there cross-legged, a lot of information about this skill was crazily pouring into Qin Fang's mind, gradually fusing with Qin Fang's body, and completely mastering it.
When Qin Fang woke up, he would be able to completely master this ultimate skill …
This was Qin Fang's greatest strength.
Any skill, as long as it was learned, could be upgraded to an extremely high level. Its power and proficiency would reach an extremely terrifying level, and he would be much more powerful than many experts who cultivated many skills.
"Young Master Qin, the situation in Ireland isn't good. Many experts from the Holy See have snuck in, and they're currently conducting a large-scale search …"
When Qin Fang woke up, he had already arrived at the edge of the Irish mainland. However, before he could log in, he received a message from Alfred.
"Xiaolong, let's go directly to the United States …"
Qin Fang knew that the Holy See wouldn't let him go, but he didn't expect them to act so quickly.
Since this place wasn't suitable for landing, he might as well be more ruthless. Qin Fang directly asked Xiaolong to escort him to the United States … The Holy See's influence was indeed very strong, but its influence was mainly in Europe. The United States was the Freemasonry's territory, and the two had always minded their own business.
Although Qin Fang's relationship with the Freemasonry wasn't very good, it was obviously not as sharp as the relationship between Qin Fang and the Holy See …
As for the Freemasonry, Qin Fang had merely destroyed a few of their halls and killed a few experts. It sounded very serious, but in reality, it was only a small loss to the enormous Freemasonry. It wasn't worth mentioning at all.
On the other hand, the Holy See was different. The fall of five Supreme Stage experts, the God-Slaying Spear, the Angelic Wings, the roots of the Ancient Tree of Life … Any one of these losses was enough to make Qin Fang and the Holy See become irreconcilable enemies. The two sides were already completely at odds with each other, and it was irreversible!
Because of this, instead of staying here and being hunted down by countless experts from the Holy See, it was better to go as far as the United States … Avoid the main force and attack the weak points, and let the Holy See waste manpower and resources to search for him. Meanwhile, Qin Fang could easily fly directly from the United States to the Holy City and prepare for the Holy Mountain Trial!
