At this moment.

Han Yi shifted his gaze from the ascending Black Light Sword and looked at the cold and stern cultivator sitting in the void.

The other party was clearly filled with murderous intent, seemingly wanting to take advantage of the moment while his strongest magic weapon was away from him and kill him.

Moreover, he didn’t know who the other party was.

Since he didn’t know them, and the two magic weapons didn’t have the unique aura of a Daqian cultivator, it meant that this person had no scruples about killing him.

Han Yi’s eyes flickered, and he sneered.

Truth be told, ever since he left Xuanxue Peak, he had been holding his breath all the way.

Why was it that whenever he just wanted to quietly cultivate, there were always people forcing him to kill?

With a wave of his hand, the climbing Black Light broken sword began to fall downwards.

At the same time.

He stretched out his right hand, pressing it onto the void, and a flame formed a shield. Above the shield, a gust of wind was born, borrowing the strength of fire, but restrained by his magic power, entwined above the fire.

Fire generated wind, wind fell on fire, fire thrived on wind again…

One layer wrapped around another, and it wasn’t until a full three layers of Wind and Fire Shields formed that it stopped spreading.

Wind Wall Skill, Fire Shield Skill.

With his preliminary ideas about these two skills, Han Yi intended to transform them into a Wind-fire Defense technique. However, his attempts had not been successful since his grasp of these two techniques was lacking.

Nevertheless, it was close enough.

He estimated that after breaking through to the next level of Peak Mastery, he could create a new technique based on these two skills.

Though the properties of wind and fire in the current Wind and Fire Shields had not completely merged and were only forcefully combined, the effect produced was far more than just the sum of its parts.

The black-white short arrow penetrated the first layer of the Wind and Fire Shields, then pierced through the second one. Subsequently, the arrow lodged itself in the third layer, with the arrow shaft stuck at the entrance of the second shield layer, unable to advance any further.

“What?”

The cold and stern cultivator in the void suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

His magic weapon was a top-notch item and had the effect of ‘never missing’ its target. Even if the opponent dodged, the weapon would follow until it struck its target.

Just as he stood up in horror, he quickly looked up again.

The five-color fan pierced by the Black Light had just fallen slightly above his head, and the Black Light pierced through the fan for the second time before quickly descending. It was already within three meters of his head.

Fast.

Too fast.

He had thought that his Heavenly Mechanism Arrow would strike his opponent, and as long as it hit them, he could trigger the secret skill within the arrow to curse them to death.

But the opponent’s seemingly casual combination of Wind and Fire Skills managed to directly block his Heavenly Mechanism Arrow.

This shocked him.

It meant that the opponent’s defense had surpassed the Foundation Building Early Stage and possessed a defense level above the Foundation Building Middle Level.

With no time to further react, the magic weapon above his head was pierced through again, and the lightning-fast Black Light was already glaringly approaching his eyes.

At this critical moment of life and death, he crushed a spiritual talisman in his hand.

His body was about to disappear on the spot.

However, a hundred meters away, an immense killing intent suddenly surged in Han Yi’s eyes. This killing intent was a fusion of the cultivators, demonic beings, and evil beasts he had killed along this journey.

Once it erupted, it was earth-shattering and soared straight into the sky.

His divine consciousness swept out, and in the Sea of Consciousness Space, the Divine Soul opened its eyes, causing chaotic energy to ripple.

The broken sword, which had already come within three meters of the cold and stern cultivator, seemed to teleport to the cultivator’s body in just a tenth of an instant.

In the next instant.

The Instant Teleportation Talisman was activated, and the cold and stern cultivator’s body disappeared from the spot.

A drop of blood spilled into the void.

A hundred meters away, on the other side of the forest, a cultivator appeared in mid-air. However, a piercing wound could be seen going straight through their head and lower body. The shock in their eyes remained, but the light of life had already faded.

The body then fell, and with a splash, the blood spread all over the ground. A gray, indistinct Divine Soul emerged from the corpse.

At first, the Divine Soul was in a daze. In the next instant, it looked down in horror, seeing its now unrecognizable body and couldn’t help but disperse a little.

However, upon turning around to face a calm Han Yi standing at the edge of the forest, the Divine Soul became ferocious. With a gust of wind, it crossed the distance of a hundred meters and entered Han Yi’s mind.

Han Yi’s body paused for a moment.

Just as he hesitated for this brief moment.

A bloody Sword Light suddenly appeared at his side, silently aiming straight for him.

The Sword Light was silent, but deadly enough.

Several hundred meters away, Shen Yuan of Tai Xu Sect raised his shoulder, but did not take any actual action. Regret lingered on his face.

Fu You of the Southern Dipper Divine Palace made his move.

The timing of the blood-colored Sword Light’s activation was the most fatal, and even if Shen Yuan had taken action, it might not have been enough to stop it. Moreover, he only had a passing acquaintance with Shi Zhan and didn’t feel it was worth lending a hand.

Furthermore, by making the first move, Han Yi was inherently challenging the people present and had to bear the pressure and danger that came with it.

All cultivators were proud, and even more so for those in the gathering, who were considered the cream of the crop in the Daqian Immortal Cultivation World, their pride even more immense.

Shen Yuan was no exception.

However, in the next instant, his eyebrows raised, and his face showed an astonished expression.

Through his eyes, he saw Han Yi, who he thought had already fallen into a battle of Sea of Consciousness, Divine Souls. Shockingly, Han Yi had recovered his senses within a momentary pause, which was too brief and not even as long as an instant.

So fast? Did he practice a Divine Soul Secret Skill?

Shen Yuan was shocked..
