Zhou Bao had wanted to make his move immediately but he began to hesitate.

Worse come to worse, it would not succeed. Master Jin Hua, who was a Four-tribulation True Immortal, was present. There was also another Genuine Immortal present. Just with these powers it would be hard for Zhou Bao to deal with them. Needless to say, it would be even harder with tens of Level Eight or Nine experts.

“If Yu Nantian is really here and if he is smart enough, there isn’t anything to be scared of if I make a move now. The only thing to fear is the case that Yu Nantian isn’t here or the case that he is a stupid fool who won’t know how to seize the opportunity. That would indeed be troublesome. Seems like it would be better to think of ways to bait Master Jin Hua away. I am already trained in the Primitive Dragon Chimera’s Second Primordial Spirit; activating that here would not be inferior to the natives in the sea. I would have enough chances to bait him away!”

Having thought of all these, Zhou Bao slowly withdrew his Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. He then purposely released a few breaths.

Master Jin Hua was a Four-tribulation True Immortal and thus was extremely sensitive to spirits in the sea. Immediately after Zhou Bao released a few breaths, Master Jin Hua picked them up.

“Who?!” He turned his head aggressively and looked towards Zhou Bao’s hiding place. Zhou Bao, as if like a shocked shrimp, hastily ran away and disappeared in the sea.

“Chase!”

Without much thought, Master Jinhua chased in the direction Zhou Bao disappeared to like a shark who had smelled blood. Together with him was the Genuine Immortal. As for the demons, they obviously reacted slower at first but eventually caught up and followed closely behind Master Jin Hua and the Genuine Immortal.

“They really chased!” Seeing Master Jin Hua’s men behind him, Zhou Bao smiled faintly and gently waved his Furnace of Immortality. A gust of faint smell originating entirely from the power of the fairy weapon wafted outwards. Although his Furnace of Immortality was different from Yu Nantian’s, be it Master Jin Hua, the Genuine Immortal or the demons who all had never seen real fairy weapons before, they would not be able to discern the difference in their weapons.

After this gust of spirit wafted outwards, although it was only temporary, it made Master Jin Hua all the more certain of his target.

“Yes, it is this feeling. This damned fella. He’s already on the cusp of being caught yet still dares to use his fairy weapon. Psh, he won’t be able to persist for long!” Master Jin Hua could not help but be pleased after detecting the fairy weapon’s spirit. Unknowingly, his pace began to increase. He was a Four-tribulation True Immortal; his strength easily exceeded the bunch of Genuine Immortals behind him. Now that his speed had increased, no one was able to keep up with him. Zhou Bao was running in front while he chased from the back. Gradually, the distance between Master Jin Hua and his subordinates increased. Under the bait of the fairy weapon, Master Jin Hua did not sense anything at all. Or should one say, did not care at all.

He was confident enough in his own abilities. Although he had no fairy weapons on him, he had accumulated more than one Pure Yang Celestial Devices after so many years, especially from the bunch of people from the Seven-deity Regions, where he had benefitted greatly from. Plus, his inherent cultivation was on pair with Yu Nantian’s. Even if Yu Nantian had fairy weapons, it did not bother Master Jin Hua.

Hence, he was calmly in pursuit.

After chasing for about an hour, the two men were miles away from Master Jin Hua’s subordinates. For the purpose of losing Master Jin Hua’s subordinates in their pursuit, he had intentionally taken a few detours as he ran ahead. With so many twists and turns in his track, it was easy to cause Master Jin Hua’s subordinates to go dizzy and lose them easily, leaving only Master Jin Hua behind him.

“It’s here, it should be good!”

A huge oceanic trench lay ahead. Zhou Bao’s speed began to slow down because this was his chosen battlefield.

“Run, why aren’t you running kid? Have no strength left?!” Seeing that Zhou Bao had stopped running, Master Jin Hua secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Zhou Bao’s persistence today surprised him. But now that he saw Zhou Bao’s speed decreasing, he naturally assumed that Zhou Bao’s strength had depleted.

Zhou Bao did not answer. He only walked slowly towards the oceanic trench.

“What’s the problem kid? You want to run into the oceanic trench? Go ahead, jump. If you jump, I won’t chase you anymore. I do want to see how long your fairy weapon can last and resist the attack of the Black Filarial.”

Yes, Black Filarial. Black Filarial grew abundantly in the oceanic trench. In fact, from ten feet onwards, the oceanic trench teemed with Black Filarial.

The Black Filarial was a typical kind of marine organism. It was considered typical because it was a lowly creature that resembled a strand of human hair. The longest kind could grow up to ten feet while the smallest kind was not even an inch long. They grew on the rocks on the bottom of the ocean and on corals. They had no form of intelligence and relied on microscopic organisms for living. Their lives were short, up to about a year only.

The threat posed by a Black Filarial was not even comparable to an ant’s. But when the Black Filarials are in a considerable number, they would become a nightmare, a real nightmare.

Besides absorbing microscopic organisms, they can also absorb pneuma. They could absorb any kind of pneuma found between heaven and earth, including Internal Qi, Real Essence, Dharma Power and even life. Regardless of the kind of living organism, they would turn into a corpse if they ever fell into a lump of Black Filarial and do not try to save themselves. There were no exceptions.

It was the same for strong experts. Even if they practiced to the realm of Genuine Immortals, they could only choose to escape in the face of a significant amount of Black Filarial. This was because no amount of pneuma attack had any effect on Black Filarial. To kill them, one needed to use an attack based on the most straightforward and easy physics principle: to slice them into pieces. The oceanic trench ahead of them was the gathering place for all Black Filarial. No one knew how deep the oceanic trench was; neither did anyone know the precise amount of Black Filarial in there. However, everyone knew that there was once a Genuine Immortal of Lord of Heaven Realm that explored this oceanic trench; ten days later his corpse floated up to the water surface. Even his primordial spirit could not escape. Fortunately for him, his Genuine Spirit was on the Ranking of Demons and Immortals. After he was reincarnated, there was no longer any news of him.

Hence, in this Sea Area, everyone knew that one should not visit this oceanic trench for no good reason at all. Aside from the Black Filarial in the oceanic trench, there were many more of its kind within a thousand mile radius from the oceanic trench. Plus, occasionally there would be a surge of Black Filarial ejected from the oceanic trench, causing a huge amount of Black Filarial to rise to the surface of the water. Unlucky ones who meet with a surge of Black Filarial will have a difficult experience.

Hence, hardly anyone visited the area of a hundred miles radius from the oceanic trench. It was usually extremely quiet and obscure.

This was exactly why Zhou Bao chose this location.

“I won’t jump down. However, I plan to throw your body down after you die!” Zhou Bao stopped himself 100 feet away from the oceanic trench. He slowly turned around and smiled at Master Jin Hua, “Master Jin Hua, it has been a while since we last met!”

“It’s you?!” Having now seen Zhou Bao, Master Jin Hua’s heart skipped a beat. “It was actually you… You… You have fairy weapons too?!”

“Hehe, for the Young Master to still have the headspace to think about fairy weapons at this point in time is really surprising. You must be blinded by the potential gains of a fairy weapon. Is it worth it at this moment?!” Having heard Master Jin Hua ask about the fairy weapon, Zhou Bao truly did not know what to say.

“Nonsense. If it was not for the fairy weapon why would I chase you for so long?!” Master Jin Hua laughed coldly. His gaze revealed a tint of suspicion. He looked around for a while and said, “You seem very confident in yourself to lure me to such a place. I suspect you want to fight with me? However, you think that you can battle with me just by luring me here? You are merely at Level Nine. I, on the other hand, am a Four-tribulation True Immortal. Do you think that you can fight me just because you have one fairy weapon? What a joke!”

“Joke or not, we will know when we fight!” Zhou Bao laughed coldly. He did not continue bantering with Master Jin Hua and disappeared.

“Hollow travel. Is this your ultimate move?!” As Master Jin Hua saw Zhou Bao disappear, he felt a gust of wind blew towards him. He only laughed coldly.

Boom!

A roar as loud as thunder was heard. The surrounding waters set off a surge of waves. Zhou Bao’s fist became apparent but it did not touch Master Jin Hua. Instead, it was blocked off by a screen of light rays.

“Hey!” Zhou Bao grunted loudly. He retreated and let the impact of his blow reverberate in his blood.

“What a strong fist power. No wonder you are so confident! However, there is just too great a difference between our realms. Hurry and use your fairy weapon. Or else, you’ll never win against me!” Master Jin Hua retreated two steps, his expression betraying a trace of surprise. Although Zhou Bao’s fist did not hurt him, its inherent power did surprise him. It was the kind of power that a person who did not surpass the Metaphysic Realm could not possess. Only an Individual Immortal or above could possess it.

“I don’t think I need to use a fairy weapon to win against you!” Zhou Bao smiled coldly. He stretched out his five fingers and five rays of golden light leaped around Master Jin Hua, immediately shattering his screen of golden light.

It was the Great Fusion Technique!

Master Jin Hua’s expression immediately changed. Seeing the rays of light leaping around him, he dare not be complacent again. After a bit of twisting and condensing, the trace of the light rays disappeared.

“Not good!” Zhou Bao’s heart tightened. Without waiting for him to respond, a huge gust of pressure as heavy as a mountain pressed down on his head.

“Oh!” A strange sound was heard. Zhou Bao’s heart vibrated strongly while his body oddly depressed a few feet.

“What?!” Master Jin Hua let out a cry of surprise. The blow he delivered just now should have suppressed Zhou Bao. If not, it could at least have harmed him. But who would have thought that he only suppressed a silky earthworm! With a slip of his fingers, Zhou Bao slithered out. Without waiting for his response, Zhou Bao delivered another blow.
