Chapter 163: Fang Yuan's Perseverance
Fang Yuan stared at Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
He swam upstream, charging towards the two of them.
Ma and Zhao saw Fang Yuan's movement, they were the only ones ahead of him now, his animosity was obvious.
Ma and Zhao could only grit their teeth and continue swimming.
"Persevere!"
"I have just escaped from Snowy Mountain, I cannot be captured again!"
"There is also Lady Xiao Yun, she became like this because of me, I need to save her!!"
"Thus, I need to persevere."
"Ma Hong Yun, you can do it, work hard!"
Ma Hong Yun gritted his teeth, he desperately swam, even though he was very tired, he had strong driving force in his heart.
Fang Yuan's speed was faster than Ma and Zhao.
Soon, the distance between them started to become less and less.
This time because he didn't fought Ying Wu Xie, he was closer to Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun than his previous life.
He was just a hundred steps away from Ma and Zhao.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu suddenly spoke: "Very good, Liu Guan Yi, capture the two of them, you can ask for any request from me. Right now, you are wanted by both Liu tribe and Ye Lui tribe, but if you hand them to me, I will be your ally! Anyone who tries to deal with you will have to face me, Xue Hu!"
Wei Ling Yang was stunned, he also spoke: "Liu Guan Yi, we are Central Continent's ten great sects, as well as Heavenly Court's members. If you can protect them, you can join Central Continent, we can modify your immortal aperture and let you adapt to Central Continent's heaven and earth qi! You will become a true Central Continent Gu Immortal!
After this merit, Central Continent will not disappoint you, whatever Old Ancestor Xue Hu can give you, we can give you several times that, or even tens of times as many benefits to you."
"Hmph! Liu Guan Yi, even though you do not have the Huang Jin bloodline, as long as you protect both Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun, and hand them to Longevity Heaven, we can make an exception and allow you to become our external supreme elder! Joining Longevity Heaven will grant you unthinkable benefits. You will be in Northern Plains' righteous path and not demonic path.
Not only will you no longer be wanted by anyone, all the Huang Jin tribes will welcome you." Flood Extremity also said in response.
However, Fang Yuan did not respond.
He had no spare energy to speak.
He stepped on the riverbed as he stood up and walked ahead.
The distance was shrinking.
The people outside Reverse Flow River were watching Fang Yuan's movements, some were speaking and trying to raise their offers.
"I must live, I want to be together with Hong Yun!" Zhao Lian Yun sobbed, she chanted in her heart, every step was difficult for her, she was inching forward slowly.
"I am here, I am right here. Don't be afraid, Xiao Yun, I will protect you…" Ma Hong Yun was pale as paper, he was holding Zhao Lian Yun's arm as his vision turned dark, every step he took, he felt an assault of intense dizziness, he felt that he would collapse at any moment.
"Where are you two going?" Fang Yuan's voice came from behind Ma Hong Yun.
Ma and Zhao shook, they turned around.
Fang Yuan's hands were already on the shoulders of both Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun.
"No—!" At this moment, Ma Hong Yun shouted loudly, pushing Zhao Lian Yun away as he charged at Fang Yuan.
But how could Fang Yuan allow Ma Hong Yun to succeed?
After some dazzling moves that made Ma Hong Yun's head spin, the two were subdued by Fang Yuan in turn, they were carried in each of his arms, unable to move.
Ma and Zhao reacted, struggling intensely. But at this moment, Fang Yuan's cold voice spoke: "Move and I will kill the person you love!"
Instantly, Ma and Zhao shuddered, they looked at Fang Yuan with immense fear.
In his previous life, at this moment Ma Hong Yun had died due to exhaustion, but this time he reached them early and avoided Ma Hong Yun's death.
Fang Yuan quickly made his move and knocked out both Ma and Zhao.
After doing this Fang Yuan continued to move in Reverse Flow River.
Step by step.
He was at the front already, every step he took, Reverse Flow River would move forward by a bit, causing Fang Yuan to stay in the river forever.
Step by step.
Time passed, the Gu Immortals who were waiting for Fang Yuan to be swept out became frustrated.
"Is he going to stop?"
"What's the point of moving forward in Reverse Flow River?"
Some Gu Immortals were confused, some were watching coldly.
In their opinion, Fang Yuan was just struggling futilely.
They didn't understand why, after getting Ma and Zhao, Fang Yuan was still continuing to move in Reverse Flow River.
As time passed, Fang Yuan continued to move forward.
At this moment Mao Li Qiu's expression changed.
It spoke in a weird and incredulous tone, looking at Fang Yuan: "No way…"
"What?" Black Extremity was confused.
At this moment, Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Bi Chen Tian, and Wei Ling Yang also had changes in their expressions.
They sensed something.
Soon, the other Gu Immortals present were stirred up, they quickly shouted.
"Hmm?"
"This is a Gu worm's aura? But it doesn't seem like it!"
"This is weird, this is not an Immortal Gu's aura, or rather, it is not complete, this is so strange!"
Suddenly, Yu Yi Ye Zi's eyes shined, he guessed the truth as he said: "This situation, he is refining Gu!"
A Gu Immortal immediately mocked: "How can that be? Refining Gu in Reverse Flow River?"
Fang Yuan also felt the change inside his body.
He was expressionless, but he was overjoyed on the inside: "Not only did i obtain Fortune Rivalling Heaven, but soon i will also regain Reverse Flow River. "
He continued to move forward.
Step by step.
He walked steadily, he was expressionless, but it gave others a feeling of strength.
"Why does he show no expression?" A Gu Immortal suddenly asked.
The immortals finally reacted.
That was true.
Other than Fang Yuan, everyone else who had been in this situation had distorted expressions, they were in pain, or they were going crazy or sobbing.
But why was Fang Yuan expressionless from start to finish?
The immortals were silent.
They all knew that the person who asked this question actually was asking about something else.
And that was —
"Why is this Liu Guan Yi able to persevere for so long? Furthermore, he seems to be able to continue, it seems like he can persevere forever!"
How was it possible?
Everyone was eliminated, swept away by Reverse Flow River.
How could he remain here with so much remaining strength?
Nobody could answer that, the Gu Immortals were all silent.
A moment later, as Fang Yuan continued to advance, the Gu worm aura in his body continued to strength, it was at its peak.
Soon, from inside Fang Yuan's body to the outside, he started to shine in a bright pure white light.
"It really… it really became like this!" Mao Li Qiu saw this and his eyes were staring wide open, he was gaping, unable to believe the sight in front of him.
"Grandpa Mao, what is going on?" Black Extremity could not endure it, he asked.
"Sigh! At this point, there is no reason in me hiding it anymore." Mao Li Qiu sighed deeply, showing a defeated look on his face.
"There is an Immortal Gu nurturing inside his body. This Immortal Gu's name is Perseverance!" Mao Li Qiu said some shocking things.
"Perseverance Immortal Gu?!" Black Extremity was extremely shocked.
The other Gu Immortals were too.
"It is said in <
"No, it exists." Bi Chen Tian said, he was a Heavenly Court Gu Immortal, he knew many ancient secrets.
"There was a person who had once owned it, that person was a former leader of Heavenly Court, Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable!" Wei Ling Yang added.
"What?!" The immortals went into shock again.
"But we had never expected the refinement method of perseverance Immortal Gu to be like this. Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable had never mentioned it." Bi Chen Tian sighed and shook his head.
"Of course he didn't. This is a shameful event in his life. Hehehe." Mao Li Qiu interjected, it was very interested in anything that would ruin Heavenly Court's reputation.
These words made Shi Zheng Yi shout: "Rubbish, how dare you slander the reputation of an Immortal Venerable?!"
Mao Li Qiu did not get angry: "Little boy, what do you know? Immortal Venerable or Demon Venerable, even if they have high cultivation level, they are still human. Humans have emotions, they have flaws, they have weaknesses."
"Back then, Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable charged through Reverse Flow River and was trapped inside, unable to escape. Eventually, he painstakingly traveled to the end of the river and refined perseverance Immortal Gu in his body. From then on, he conquered Reverse Flow River and became the first Reverse Flow River Lord in history."
"The first Reverse Flow River Lord?" Even Old Ancestor Xue Hu was shocked. This Reverse Flow River had been his for so long, he did not think there were such secrets.
"This means…" At once, the immortals' gazes landed on Fang Yuan.
Mao Li Qiu sighed, with his gaze fixed on Fang Yuan who was bathed in white light, he said helplessly: "That is true. At this rate, he will refine perseverance Immortal Gu and become the second Reverse Flow River Lord!"
The immortals were lost for words, they looked at Fang Yuan, who continued moving forward.
He was expressionless, no matter how many steps he took, Reverse Flow River was always still below his feet, as if fate was mocking and laughing at him.
But he continued walking.
Bi Chen Tian frowned, he stared at Fang Yuan's figure, thinking: "What sort of willpower is this! Why does he persevere? What makes him persevere to this extent?"
Old Ancestor Xue Hu snorted coldly, solemness showed in his eyes, he no longer looked down on this rank seven Gu Immortal: "This means, there was Genesis Lotus three hundred thousand years ago, and now, there is Liu Guan Yi… the Reverse Flow River Lord."
A dazzling light erupted out.
Perseverance Immortal Gu, at this moment, was refined successfully!!
Outside Reverse Flow River, the immortals who saw this all fell into dead silence.
"He actually managed to refine perseverance Immortal Gu!" Bai Ning Bing muttered, having complex emotions.
"He actually did the same thing as Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable?" The Central Continent Gu Immortals could not believe this.
"Look guys, he is no longer moving forward, he is standing on the spot, Reverse Flow River is no longer sweeping him away!" Shi Zheng Yi pointed and shouted.
After refining the rank seven perseverance Gu, Fang Yuan was now able to use Gu worms freely inside the Reverse Flow River.
He quickly used an immortal killer move to block the vision of the Gu Immortals for a few breaths of time.
Next, Fang Yuan quickly used familiar face and disguised Ma Hong Yun as Zhao Lian Yun and Zhao Lian Yun as Ma Hong Yun.
A few moments later, after the effects of the immortal killer move subsided, the Gu Immortals saw an unbelievable scene.
Fang Yuan killing "Ma Hong Yun."
The immortals were shocked, there was pure silence.
"Damn it! Liu Guan Yi, you actually killed him, I will tear your bones and tendons out, I will make sure you die a terrible death!!" Old Ancestor Xue Hu fell into a rage, he screamed loudly as his eyes turned red.
"Ma Hong Yun…" Bi Chen Tian and Wei Ling Yang were downcast.
"Little worm, you actually killed Ma Hong Yun, you squeezed him to death!!" Mao Li Qiu shouted even more loudly than Old Ancestor Xue Hu, it was furious and bared its sharp fangs, it was agitated and its hair was standing, it was ready to pounce to devour Fang Yuan alive.
After killing Zhao Lian Yun, Fang Yuan quickly placed Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun's body inside his sovereign immortal aperture.
Zhao Lian Yun's soul was also inside Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
At this moment, as Zhao Lian Yun was dead, Love Gu left the Reverse Flow River and flyed away.
"Northern Plains' Liu Guan Yi, to think that this battle would establish your fame." Wei Ling Yang sighed.
"Liu Guan Yi, even if you become the Reverse Flow River Lord, so what?" Old Ancestor Xue Hu smiled coldly.
"Lad, you are quite capable. But this is it, you killed Ma Hong Yun, you caused me to fail before even trying. Walk out of Reverse Flow River and let me kill you in one slap, I will let you off without much pain! Howl!" Grandpa Mao said with a ruthless expression.
Next, Old Ancestor Xue Hu and Mao Li Qiu started attacking Reverse Flow River continuously.
