Before he could think further, he suddenly felt a massive area of frost emerging beneath his feet.

Crack, crack—

In just an instant, his already beginning to blur silhouette solidified once more.

Moreover, the frost beneath his feet swiftly extended upward.

To his calves, thighs, waist and abdomen, chest, neck, and finally his head.

In the blink of an eye, Huanzhen was completely transformed into an ice sculpture.

It was only at this moment that Master Binghuo's figure slowly appeared beside Ji Haoyuan and the others.

Boom!

And at the same time.

A bolt of Heavenly Thunder, emitting red, blue, and yellow hues, suddenly gathered above Huanzhen's head and subsequently struck down hard.

Take advantage of his weakness to claim his life.

This time, neither Ji Haoyuan nor Master Binghuo would give the opponent any chance to escape.

Shing—

A crimson long sword abruptly unsheathed behind Master Binghuo.

As the raging flames soared.

The void was torn out with a long charred mark.

At its edges, strands of terrifying sharpness lingered.

Just then, a resounding boom was heard.

Huanzhen's figure, just breaking free from the ice sculpture state, suddenly felt a deadly crisis looming above and in front of him.

"You, how is this possible...?"

Huanzhen's eyes instantly revealed a look of shock and disbelief.

Apparently, he never expected Master Binghuo, who was supposed to be in the Valley of Extinction attempting to refine the Ice Evil Fire Lotus in a bid to seek a breakthrough, would appear before him.

And looking at her current displayed power and aura, she had already stepped into the late Golden Core stage!

Buzz!

At this moment, above Huanzhen's head, a golden talisman abruptly burst into brilliance.

It turned out to be the third-level Defense Talisman, Golden Armor Spirit Talisman, previously used by Master Binghuo!

Indeed.

These late Golden Core stage cultivators practically had one life-saving trump card after another.

If they hadn't been prepared for this.

Joining forces to deal with this person, they might really have let him escape once more.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the tri-colored thunder light cleaved by Ji Haoyuan struck the Golden Armor Spirit Talisman, causing its glow to tremble.

Following that, Master Binghuo's crimson sword light slashed a long red mark on the golden barrier formed by the Golden Armor Spirit Talisman.

However, the Golden Armor Spirit Talisman is indeed a superior third-level Defense Talisman.

Even joined by Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo, they couldn't completely break its defense instantaneously.

"Hoo!"

Suddenly, Ji Haoyuan took a long, deep breath.

This breath seemed to draw in the air currents within tens of miles into his abdomen.

His entire body suddenly shot up in height.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a size of one zhang (3.3 meters).

Starry light circulated on the surface of his body.

Each ray of light seemed to be charged with terrifying thunder capable of destroying everything.

Suddenly.

He stepped forward.

The void shimmered with light and shadow.

Located within the Golden Armor Spirit Talisman, Huanzhen only felt a massive star brimming with endless thunder looming to crush him once again.

And behind it, a sword light wrapped in frost and flames cleaved through the air, carrying ultimate coldness and searing heat, and struck harshly on that golden barrier.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of tremendous explosions sounded abruptly.

The golden barrier formed by the Golden Armor Spirit Talisman shook repeatedly.

Soon, its surface was densely covered with cracks.

Huanzhen's expression suddenly changed.

At this moment, he could no longer care for anything else, and he abruptly spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The jade scroll in front of him suddenly turned blood red.

Then quickly solidified into a single character once more.

"Escape"!

At this moment, Huanzhen's figure was enveloped in a layer of blood mist.

Yet under the cover of the blood mist, his silhouette began to gradually fade.

"I, Huanzhen, will remember today's enmity.

In the future, I will surely repay you graciously!"

"Slash!"

However, just as Huanzhen finished speaking, an incredibly terrifying image of a blade manifested in Ji Haoyuan's eyes.

Buzz!

In the void, an invisible sharp intent seemed to sweep through.

That sharp intent disregarded the obstruction of the golden barrier created by the Golden Armor Spirit Talisman and slashed directly into Huanzhen's sea of consciousness.

Sizzle!

Huanzhen felt as though a blade of blinding sharpness appeared before him, nearly splitting his entire sea of consciousness in two, causing him to scream in agony.

Blood trickled from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.

His rapidly fading form solidified once more.

Illusory God Celestial Blade!

With one strike, it not only severely damaged Huanzhen's sea of consciousness in an instant but also forcibly shattered his last hope of escape.

Shing—

At the same time, a lotus of icy blue hue but burning with intense flames suddenly slashed forth from the dual swords in Master Binghuo's hands.

Not only did it break through the golden barrier ahead, but the Frost Fire Lotus also directly plunged into Huanzhen's body.

Instantly, Huanzhen's body was sometimes covered with frost and sometimes turned charred black.

Finally, under his gaze filled with immense terror and unwillingness, his entire body, along with his Golden Core, was reduced to ashes.

Seeing this, Meng Jiyue, standing in the distance, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

At last, they resolved that person.

Indeed, killing a late Golden Core stage cultivator is challenging.

Had she not previously learned of Huanzhen's hiding place and launched a surprise attack without his awareness.

Moreover, with Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo working together and employing so many techniques, it would indeed have been unlikely to truly keep this person here forever.

Not lingering any longer.

After collecting the Storage Ring left by Huanzhen, Ji Haoyuan and the other two rapidly took to the Escape Light and left the place.

Days later.

The three of them, upon inspecting the items within Huanzhen's Storage Ring, couldn't help but reveal expressions of pleasant surprise.

First, nearly two thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

This already counted as a sizable fortune among Golden Core cultivators.

Next, there were various pills, magical treasures, and talismans.

Each of them was at least of mid-third grade or higher.

Among them, there were the Primordial Heaven Pills, beneficial to both Ji Haoyuan and Meng Jiyue.

This pill can increase the Magical Power of mid-Golden Core cultivators.

And there were as many as six bottles.

They most likely weren't his original possessions; possibly acquired through murder and theft.

Then there were some Cultivation Technique Jade Scrolls.

Although they contained no legacy from their True Words Sect, they were some excellent magic inheritances, and cultivation hundred arts.

These were likely collected by Huanzhen himself in the past.

The one that caught Ji Haoyuan's attention the most was a magic inheritance named Vacuum Shield.

The level of this magic was notably a superior third-level, belonging to excellent fleeing and Defense Techniques.

However, the conditions for cultivating this magic were quite demanding...
