Yes.

The reason for acting first is to confuse and mislead.

To make Huanzhen mistakenly believe that he is fighting with the Corpse Group, misjudging his current situation.

And I, during this time, aim to give him a big surprise.

So that he has no time to set up any possible escape plans.

After all, the battle that day already clearly taught Ji Haoyuan that defeat is easy against cultivators at the late Golden Core stage.

But to kill them is not as simple as it seems.

Their backup plans and trump cards have long exceeded the imagination of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

Once given the opportunity, incidents like the previous escape are very likely to happen again.

Even though the opponent might have used up his trump cards in that battle.

For safety's sake, Ji Haoyuan does not want to be careless.

Because if the opponent manages to escape again, it would be almost impossible for him and his sister to completely take down the opponent in this Shengtian Secret Realm.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan unconsciously sped up his pace.

At the same time.

In a mountain hollow surrounded by dense gray fog.

Huanzhen sat cross-legged on the ground, his face somewhat pale.

Ever since Ji Haoyuan severely injured him and forced him to use the Substitute Tribulation Skill, his foundation has been damaged.

Even after more than half a year, his injuries have not fully healed.

At the moment, not far from him.

A blood-red incense was burning.

Wisps of black smoke continuously drifted from the blood-red incense, then entirely merged into the void, drifting toward the direction of the Valley of Extinction.

This was the Soul Capturing Incense he prepared before entering this Shengtian Secret Realm.

It contains dead soul black smoke that is enough to attract corpses.

Any corpse that smells or senses this black smoke will be immediately attracted.

Even Third Stage Corpses, or even late Third Stage Corpses, are no exception.

And most importantly, the dead soul black smoke contained in the Soul Capturing Incense can be fully controlled by the holder.

Originally, Huanzhen prepared this incense as a trump card for himself in case of encountering a massive wave of corpses.

But now, he is obviously preparing to use this incense specifically against Ji Haoyuan and his crew.

Even if he cannot use those attracted corpses to bring them any lethal danger, he is sure to use it to disrupt Master Binghuo's breakthrough.

Aren't you planning to sculpt your Daoist Body with the Ice Evil Fire Lotus to break through to the late Golden Core stage?

Alright!

I will attract a large number of corpses there.

Then let's see how you break through!

And that boy, you wish to protect the path, don't you?

So many corpses going over.

There is bound to be the presence of late Third Stage Corpses.

Let's see how you manage to protect alone!

Huanzhen's eyes flickered with venom.

Ruin my cultivation, destroy my foundation, this enmity cannot coexist!

Today, I will just collect some interest from you.

Once I leave this Shengtian Secret Realm, I will surely investigate your background and return today's vengeance with a hundred or a thousand times more effort!

Rumble!

Just then, a fierce Magical Power wave suddenly came from the direction of the Valley of Extinction.

Accompanied by it was the sound of roaring corpses.

The ground shakes, flames soar.

Seeing this scene, a cold smile immediately formed at the corner of Huanzhen's mouth.

But before that smile could last too long, his pupils suddenly shrunk.

Outside the mountain hollow.

A giant hand enveloped in dazzling starlight, flashing with endless thunder, powerfully slammed down onto the mountain hollow where he was!

"What?"

Huanzhen's face instantly showed a hint of horror.

Immediately, the mountain hollow collapsed like a toppled stack of blocks, instantly turning into a cloud of dust.

When the dust cleared, a huge pit with a diameter of dozens of miles appeared.

Huanzhen staggered out from it.

His hair disheveled, blood at the corners of his mouth.

He no longer had the previously refined and elegant demeanor.

But he couldn't afford to care about these, instead he fixed his gaze on a spot not far from him.

There.

A man and a woman were standing quietly.

Who else could it be but Ji Haoyuan and Meng Jiyue who had arrived in advance?

"It's you!"

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Huanzhen's gaze locked onto Meng Jiyue.

Gray mist floated from his body.

Previously, he was unaware of the anomaly around him.

But seeing Meng Jiyue face-to-face, the mystical perception unique to a late Golden Core cultivator revealed the real reason his location was quickly exposed.

The only thing he wasn't clear about was seeing the opponent here, aren't they worried about Master Binghuo's situation?

Or are they so consumed with killing me they ignore Master Binghuo's safety?

Ji Haoyuan naturally had no intention of quibbling with him or answering his inner doubts.

Suddenly, behind Ji Haoyuan, a vast starry sky phantom descended.

Countless stars turned within it.

And within each star, thunder blazed endlessly.

Like creation, yet in darkness carried an immensely dreadful aura of destruction.

Boom!

Suddenly, Huanzhen felt his body become extraordinarily heavy, as if bearing countless stars.

Amidst, waves of paralysis spread through him, even affecting his consciousness and Divine Soul, slowing his thoughts.

No good!

The thought barely formed in Huanzhen's mind.

He felt as if his body were crushed by a fast-spinning massive star.

Inside him, exploded with the cracking sounds of breaking bones and flesh.

Boom!

Suddenly.

A white jade Spirit Light shot rapidly from Huanzhen's head.

Instantly, a large "Recove" character merged into his body.

Seeing his shattered bones, organs, flesh, recover quickly.

However, his complexion paled further.

Obviously.

Using such a Secret Technique comes with a price.

In contrast, using this has already cost him nearly sixty years of lifespan.

This fueled more hatred in his heart.

But facing Ji Haoyuan now, Huanzhen dared not continue to fight.

The jade book in his hand exploded into dazzling light, rapidly forming a large "Escape" character in the air.

His figure began to rapidly fade.

His last venomous gaze fell on Ji Haoyuan.

But within the exchange of glances, an unease surged in his heart.

This look from the opponent…
