In the Qingyang Market, amidst the ruins and broken bricks.

The power of the Tier Two array surged forth, striking Life-taking Horse-Faced's body—

"You black-hearted talisman master, how dare you have an ace up your sleeve?!"

Life-taking Horse-Faced's body stiffened, as if he had seen a ghost, staring incredulously at Li An.

His eyes seemed to hold endless astonishment, unable to believe he would actually die at the hands of a mere Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivator…

Instinctively, he raised his hand, seemingly wanting to kill Li An.

Yet a dagger had already flown by like a beam of light…

Life-taking Demon Cultivator's head flew off following the flash of light!

Having been heavily injured by Han Zhong and then blasted by the Tier Two array, Life-taking Horse-Faced's aura was completely extinguished; at this moment, even the small "Flying Dagger Skill" of Li An could not be resisted…

Life-taking Horse-Faced's corpse fell rigidly to the ground!

Activating and deploying the Tier Two array, waves of fatigue spread throughout his body, a feeling of drowsiness weighing heavily on his mind.

But Li An bit his tongue, forcing himself to endure the exhaustion, then walked over.

"Life-taking Horse-Faced is dead, he's dead, that's great, that's great…"

On the other side, Jing Ao, who had not been killed, was both shocked and pleased; he was shocked that Li An had such a backup plan, pleased that, in this way, he would be saved!

Moreover, Senior Brother Han Zhong was dead; the great deed of killing Life-taking Horse-Faced wouldn't fall on him?

"Come quickly, help me up, help me up!"

He ordered Li An.

Li An turned a deaf ear, swiftly walking over to Life-taking Horse-Faced's White Bone Banner, wrapping his hand with cloth, before picking up the White Bone Banner and then walking to Jing Ao.

His eyes were cold as ice.

"You, what do you want to do…"

Jing Ao immediately sensed something was off; he inexplicably felt some fear and sternly said:

"Help me up quickly! Do you want to die?"

But Li An just gazed at his face and said, "What a pity Life-taking Horse-Faced couldn't chop you up and make you into minced meat…"

"Are you crazy? I'm telling you, I'm an inner sect disciple; if you mess around, you'll die too…"

Jing Ao was horrified.

Li An raised the White Bone Banner, then directly stabbed it into Jing Ao's chest!

"Pfft—"

Jing Ao stared dumbly, instantly dying.

Li An pulled out the White Bone Banner and threw it aside.

Barely maintaining his breath, he cleaned up the shattered Jade Talisman fragments around Jing Ao, putting them into his storage bag, then quickly turned, to check the storage bag on Life-taking Horse-Faced's corpse—

The contents were numerous!

Including a vast amount of Spirit Stones, pills, many Tier Two magical artifacts, and even a Third Grade Spirit Medicine.

Extremely wealthy!

Unfortunately, there was no Foundation Establishment Pill that Li An wanted!

He focused on the three Second Grade Spirit Medicines inside, only taking two, placing them in his storage bag.

Then he ran frantically, using his Light Body Technique to its fullest; within several breaths, he had arrived at the edge of the market near an abandoned ancient well.

Throwing his storage bag into the well, then covering it with debris.

After finishing all this, he hurried back to the battlefield, picked up Life-taking Horse-Faced's head, holding it in his hand, then sat down beside Life-taking Horse-Faced's body.

Finally relaxing his cautious mind, exhaustion spread rampantly through his body.

"Life-taking Horse-Faced arrived, I lured him into the inner hall, got knocked out, Jing Ao came but was poisoned, unable to activate the array, was killed by the White Bone Banner, Yu Xiong and Han Zhong fought hard, severely wounding Life-taking Horse-Faced, I woke up, caught him off guard, took Jing Ao's Jade Talisman, activated the Tier Two array, and killed Life-taking Horse-Faced..."

He muttered to himself, forcibly hypnotizing himself!

He wanted to bury the truth deep within his heart, to form a false process in his mind.

Using the time before the people of the Profound Yang Sect arrived, to continuously reinforce it!

Meanwhile, a question gnawed at him: Life-taking Horse-Faced wasn't supposed to die here… but he did, there was a problem, there had to be a problem.

But this question, he no longer had the energy to ponder.

He truly fainted this time!

...

Qingyang Market, dozens of miles away.

The battle was incomparably intense, the Foundation Establishment Stage experts protecting the medicine against the demon dao cultivators wearing horse-face masks, fighting relentlessly!

"Boom!"

A terrifying beam of light descended from the sky, an elderly man with white hair and a beard stepped through the air, landing a hit directly on the ground, where the demon dao cultivator wearing a horse-face mask stood!

That demon dao cultivator exploded on the spot!

The entire battlefield fell silent for a moment!

"Is Life-taking Horse-Faced dead?"

"Is he really dead?"

"Wonderful, that demon cultivator with heinous deeds has finally been exterminated!"

The surrounding Profound Yang Sect cultivators were all delighted beyond measure.

Even among the crowd, Xu Qiuhui let out a sigh of relief, still highly wary of the notorious Life-taking Horse-Faced.

The elder descended, appearing untouched by dust, holding a duster, exuding an immortal aura.

"Greetings, Elder Li!"

Everyone bowed in respect.

This elder was Li Yuan, a Fake Pill stage powerhouse and one of the inner sect core elders who led the plan.

Li Yuan was the junior disciple of Profound Yang Master of the Profound Yang Sect and one of the sect's four Fake Pill powerhouses.

"Hmph, this demon cultivator has troubled our sect for years, today finally meets his end…"

He paced forward, yet the next moment, his brows furrowed suddenly!

"Elder, what's wrong?"

Xu Qiuhui inquired.

Li Yuan squinted his eyes, with a wave of his hand, the few pieces of Life-taking Horse-Faced's flesh on the ground fell into his hand, upon closer examination, mysterious threads connected the flesh!

"No… this isn't Life-taking Horse-Faced!"

"This is a 'flesh puppet'!"

Li Yuan's expression changed drastically, "We were deceived—quick, back to Qingyang Market!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

...

Fake Pill stage experts could fly through the air quite fast.

Within mere thoughts, they reached the Profound Yang Sect's market dozens of miles away.

The market was empty, everyone had fled; even the Profound Yang Sect disciples guarding the place scattered.

He landed in the heart of the battlefield.

Upon seeing the scene, even though he was a Fake Pill powerhouse, he was still somewhat taken aback.

A few Qi Cultivation peak disciples had their necks gouged.

Jing Ao's chest was bleeding nonstop, the wound emanating demon dao aura.

The worst was Han Zhong; his neck appeared as though it had been bitten off by a wild beast, body separated.

He also noted the demon cultivator's corpse.

The demon cultivator's body lacked a head!

Beside the demon cultivator's corpse, a youth wearing the Profound Yang Sect's disciple robe held a bloody head in his hand, already fainted…

He felt somewhat surprised, walked over, swept his divine thought, the nearby blood-stained White Bone Banner immediately fell into his hand.

"Life-taking Horse-Faced?!"

He was somewhat astounded!

Life-taking Horse-Faced had actually died here!

This couldn't be faked, even upon death, the aura on the demon cultivator's body was strong, rare among Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, and with the White Bone Banner present, it was the most compelling evidence.

At this moment, the other disciples finally arrived…

Upon seeing the scene before them, all the disciples were astounded.

What a horrific sight!

Foundation Establishment stage cultivators died miserably, all around…

"No, he, he hasn't died yet?"

Seeing Li An, Xu Qiuhui was utterly shocked, saying, "How can he be holding that head, could it be him who killed the demon cultivator?!"

She was endlessly shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief to the extreme!
