"Hehehe! The little brat from ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ sure is clever, but in front of me, you still can’t escape death!" The patch of white clouds on the horizon suddenly turned into a mass of black clouds, and a gust of sinister wind churned within the sea of clouds. Elder Hou Yingchen from the ’Netherworld Ghost Sect’ was chasing after Li Yunjing. The black cloud, several hundred zhang* in size, flew extremely fast. Before long, it had nearly closed the distance with Li Yunjing. "Damn it! What are the elders of the sect doing? How did they let this old demon into the ’Transverse Mountain Range’? They haven’t caught him in six months?" Get full chapters from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍 Li Yunjing turned his head to take a look, shivering in fear, and sped up his escape. The pursuer was undoubtedly a Golden Core Realm expert, and he stood no chance of resisting. He had to flee as far as possible! "You little brat, I was trapped in the mountains by your ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ people, with no way in or out! I’ll take out my anger on you. You’re dead!" Hou Yingchen cursed fiercely, then shaked his hand, and nine large blood-red banners rose into the air, pursuing Li Yunjing. Seeing this, Li Yunjing cursed to himself. Damn it, how could he be so unlucky to run into a Golden Core Realm cultivator? The road ahead was completely blocked by the nine blood-red banners. There was no hope of returning to ’Shenxiao Pass’. Helpless, Li Yunjing dived headlong into the forest in the mountains. "Poor little fish! Just keep running and give me some amusement." The black cloud in the sky paused, and then the nine blood-red banners shrank to the size of a palm and were collected into Hou Yingchen’s storage ring. Seeing Hou Yingchen following closely behind like a shadow, Li Yunjing’s face darkened. The thick forest greatly hindered his movement, and his speed was still not as fast as his opponent’s. He was chased to within thirty zhang. Since he couldn’t return to ’Shenxiao Pass’, he might as well continue fleeing toward the ’City of Glory’. Li Yunjing didn’t believe it; after all, the ’Transverse Mountain Range’ was their territory now. In the mountains, he might run into his own people and have a slim chance of survival. "This kid runs pretty fast!" Watching Li Yunjing move agilely like a monkey, constantly changing directions and weaving through the forest, Hou Yingchen grew impatient and ground his teeth with hatred after a brief pursuit. Hou Yingchen urged his mana, and his speed suddenly increased. In an instant, the distance between him and Li Yunjing was less than twenty zhang. "Good! Since that’s the case, I’ll give you a hard blow, you demon!" Seeing an imminent attack, Li Yunjing gritted his teeth and gripped a Tier Three ’Samadhi True Fire Talisman’, turning around and throwing it at Hou Yingchen. Suddenly, flames roared and thick smoke rolled, enveloping his opponent. "This kid actually has a Tier Three talisman for protection?" Hou Yingchen’s expression changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly, forming a black light shield to protect himself. Then, a blood-red long sword slashed straight at Li Yunjing. As a Golden Core Realm cultivator, although he was wary of ’Samadhi True Fire’, he wasn’t afraid of this famous fire-based divine technique in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. If Li Yunjing had been a fire-element Golden Core Realm expert personally displaying ’Samadhi True Fire’, Hou Yingchen would have fled as far as possible. But to think a mere Foundation Establishment Realm junior cultivator could resist him with an external aid was utterly laughable! Li Yunjing’s ability to produce such a valuable item indicated he wasn’t an ordinary person! If not a favored disciple of some big figure in the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’, he must be a direct descendant of a wealthy clan. Either way, he was someone with wealth in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Killing Li Yunjing wouldn’t just vent his anger; it would also bring considerable resources. Hou Yingchen’s face twisted with a cruel smile, relishing the thrill of crushing a genius. "Not good! This guy’s too strong!" Seeing his opponent charge through ’Samadhi True Fire’ with a weapon, Li Yunjing’s face contorted in fear, unable to react in time. As the blood-red sword qi was about to pierce his throat, Li Yunjing was filled with despair. At this point, he felt resigned to death! Facing Hou Yingchen’s lethal strike, Li Yunjing waved his hands repeatedly. Even if he died, he would use ’Binghuo Divine Thunder’ and ’Sunflower Divine Thunder’ to blow his enemy to bits! "You want to resist, kid?" Seeing Li Yunjing’s determined expression, a hint of disdain flashed across Hou Yingchen’s face. A bone shield appeared in his hand, blocking in front of him. ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’s’ Thunder Skill restrained Ghost Dao Techniques, so Hou Yingchen was extremely cautious and used a magical treasure to defend. Two thunderous roars sounded as Li Yunjing’s thunder balls struck heavily upon the magical treasure, while the blood-red sword also pierced Li Yunjing’s throat! But with a ’clang’, the sword’s trajectory was deflected! Lv Ruoxi’s jade pendant shattered completely. It was this treasure that blocked the attack and saved Li Yunjing’s life. A rush of clear energy emerged from the shattered jade pendant, forming a figure in front of Li Yunjing. It was a faintly discernible female figure! Upon appearance, the female figure’s hand flashed, and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi gathered toward her, forming a Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Sword! The female figure coldly uttered, raising the Primordial Qi Sword high. Like a clear autumn water, the sword in her hand swung down heavily, aiming to cleave Hou Yingchen in two! "What? A Seventh Heaven Golden Core Realm master, condensing a Guardian Incarnation with her essence, qi, and spirit?" Hou Yingchen’s eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing. How could this happen? "Just a Guardian Incarnation, trying to kill me? Impossible! I will defy the heavens and change my fate! Kill!" Amidst his terror, Hou Yingchen gathered his courage, and with an angry shout, the blood-red long sword swung down, while dozens of ’Blood Transformation Divine Thunder’ bolts surged toward the female incarnation. A series of continuous explosions erupted, rocks shattered, and trees splintered. The entire forest was engulfed in a field of blood-red thunder, filled with blood-red lightning everywhere. The female incarnation let out a cold snort, extending her hand to grab the air. Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi instantly formed a vortex, descending upon her. A vortex of pure light enveloped her, and the ’Blood Transformation Divine Thunder’ only created crackling sounds, shaking the light of the vortex. Observing this scene from afar, Li Yunjing’s heart was in his throat. Seeing that the clear light from Lv Ruoxi’s teacher’s incarnation had withstood the opponent’s evil thunder technique, he finally felt relieved. Realizing his trump card had failed, Hou Yingchen knew the situation was dire. Without hesitation, he turned to flee. But it was too late. Lv Ruoxi’s teacher’s incarnation, like a phantom, floated gently, her figure flickering to block his path. With a flick of her hand, the Primordial Qi Sword emitted a silver light and slashed again. The blow was incredibly fierce. Hou Yingchen used his blood sword to block, but the Primordial Qi Sword suddenly disintegrated into countless fine silver needles! With flashes of silver light, Hou Yingchen screamed, feeling as if his body was pierced by countless steel needles, causing unbearable pain. His life force began to rapidly dissipate. Lv Ruoxi’s teacher’s incarnation moved again, raising her arm, and her jade palm gently printed on Hou Yingchen’s chest. With a ’boom,’ it pierced his chest, shattering his heart! His primordial spirit emerged from his body. The female incarnation’s jade hand grasped, capturing the primordial spirit in her palm. With a squeeze, a ’puff’ sound followed as the Golden Core Realm’s demon dao expert was annihilated, body and soul!
