The old man was very clear that the ice blade rings released by his Blue Stone Magical Item, due to their continuous and strange nature, gave him confidence to even fight against an ordinary Core Formation Stage Cultivator.
But at this moment, he personally witnessed these ice blade rings, after rushing into the strange swarm of Winged Fire Dragonflies, actually being cut apart in return!
"What kind of strange insects are these? They're so powerful."
The thin old man suddenly had thoughts of retreating.
If there weren't many of these strange Winged Fire Dragonflies, he would still have the confidence to eliminate them.
But these in front of him were dense, probably tens of thousands of them.
Moreover, these flying insects were not the most terrifying; what was terrifying was the Ancient Blood Corpse that had been eyeing him from the side.
The strength of this Ancient Blood Corpse's Divine Sense made the thin old man suffer inwardly.
He even had that terrifying feeling of facing his own Nascent Soul Stage Junior Martial Uncle and Senior Martial Uncle!
As soon as he thought that this Ancient Blood Corpse likely possessed Nascent Soul Stage strength or was close to it, the thin old man no longer had any thought of continuing the fight. He immediately took out an Intermediate Middle-Stage 'Water Escape Talisman' and wanted to escape quickly.
However, he had just taken it out and had no time to activate it when the Ancient Blood Corpse slapped him.
A chill ran down the thin old man's spine. Having been locked onto by the Ancient Blood Corpse's powerful Divine Sense, he couldn't dodge this time and was directly struck hard by the Ancient Blood Corpse's huge palm.
Spitting out a mouthful of old blood, the thin old man felt his Physical Body almost crack.
He quickly recalled his Blue Stone Magical Item, and countless ice blade rings appeared, swirling around his body.
He was about to continue activating the 'Water Escape Talisman', yet the Ancient Blood Corpse struck again like lightning.
The thin old man grew increasingly horrified.
He knew that if he forcibly activated this Talisman, his Physical Body would be shattered by the Ancient Blood Corpse at the moment of teleportation.
At this moment, Yang Che naturally also noticed an Intermediate Spirit Talisman appearing in the thin old man's hand.
Guessing that the thin old man wanted to escape, a hint of urgency flashed in his eyes, and a ruthless glint suddenly appeared.
Controlling the Winged Fire Dragonflies to tightly surround the thin old man, then with the Nine Heart Thunder Flame swirling out, Yang Che actually charged fiercely towards the thin old man.
"Hmph, courting death."
Although the thin old man was extremely afraid of the Ancient Blood Corpse, a Qi Refining twelfth-layer Cultivator was still like an ant to him.
Seeing this Qi Refining Cultivator actually dare to charge directly at him, the thin old man decided that even if it meant half-destroying his Physical Body, he would first kill this person before escaping.
Yang Che naturally didn't know the thin old man's thoughts. He had given Ancient Blood Corpse Mie a death order: if he dared to let this thin old man escape, he would absolutely make Ancient Blood Corpse Mie endure unimaginable punishment and torture.
Closer and closer.
When he was less than a few feet away from the thin old man.
Yang Che saw the thin old man suddenly flick his whisk towards him, as if he intended to self-destruct this whisk Magical Artifact.
"Mie!"
Yang Che roared.
The Ancient Blood Corpse's large hands seemed to have been waiting, directly gripping the whisk Magical Artifact tightly.
At the same time, Yang Che saw that the thin old man had just opened his mouth, barely uttering the first sound of the Spirit Talismanic Incantation.
Yang Che's figure instantly vanished.
The Flash Cloud Boots Divine Ability, instantaneous movement, was activated.
Then, the thin old man saw Yang Che strangely appear before him, holding an ancient, broken sword!
"It's you?"
The thin old man's pupils constricted rapidly as if he had seen the most impossible thing in the world.
‘Pfft’
A soft sound.
The old man's head had already flown into the sky.
On the thin old man's face, the expressions of shock, astonishment, unwillingness, and disbelief froze and remained, as he died.
Yang Che quickly collected the thin old man's corpse, Spirit Talisman, and Storage Pouch. Without any hesitation, after recalling Mie and the Winged Fire Dragonflies into the Magic Stone Space, he took advantage of the chaos and swiftly flew towards a distant mountain range.
Not long after flying out, Yang Che once again ‘teleported’ and vanished into the vast mountain range.
His magic power was almost completely depleted at this moment.
Yang Che not only wanted to leave this place quickly, but also, after 'Mie' appeared earlier, he vaguely sensed that he seemed to have been glanced at by the King-Level Ancient Blood Corpse high above Jiang Huo City.
Just one glance, a light glance, caused Yang Che's mind to tremble greatly, and at the same time, the Spirit-Level Ancient Blood Corpse 'Mie' almost uncontrollably wanted to break free from his control.
Yang Che quickly excavated an Immortal Cave on a very secluded half-cliff, and after setting up Formation Flags and a Formation Plate, he immediately entered the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.
With a cold expression, he stood before the Ancient Blood Corpse 'Mie'. Yang Che, disregarding his weakness and fatigue, directly spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which transformed into a blood mist that completely covered Mie.
Then, the Nine Heart Thunder Flame surged out, burning fiercely and immediately enveloping Mie.
“Ah… Ah…”
Waves of incomparably mournful screams echoed in the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.
Yang Che's gaze was icy cold. He directly took out a handful of Nourishing Yuan Pills and swallowed them.
Then he continued to control the Nine Heart Thunder Flame to burn madly.
“Spare me… spare me…”
The Spirit-Level Ancient Blood Corpse Mie, for the first time, showed deep fear towards Yang Che and truly begged for mercy.
However, Yang Che ignored it and continued to burn.
The Nine Heart Thunder Flame was equally excited and frenzied.
After an unknown period of time.
Only then did Yang Che retract the Nine Heart Thunder Flame.
And Ancient Blood Corpse Mie was completely blackened and listless.
When killing the thin old man earlier, Yang Che had already sensed that this Ancient Blood Corpse 'Mie' had not used its full strength.
"If there's a next time, death!"
Yang Che's eyes filled with endless killing intent.
Ancient Blood Corpse Mie trembled, revealing an expression of extreme fear…
Yang Che came to the Tongyou Medicine Garden, walked straight to the nine-leaf dark yang fruit, picked a ripe fruit, ate it directly, and then sat in front of the Spirit Eye Tree, beginning to meditate and recover.
With the medicinal effects of the mo yang fruit, Yang Che recovered extremely quickly.
After his body and magic power had recovered, Yang Che exited the Magic Stone Space.
He did not return to Qing Jian Sect; instead, he quietly flew back towards Jiang Huo City.
At this time, Jiang Huo City was completely controlled by the Ancient Corpse Sect.
Yang Che maintained his previous disguise as a black-robed figure and swaggered to the city gate.
"Stop." Without surprise, Yang Che was stopped.
"I am a subordinate of Junior Martial Uncle Liu Song."
Yang Che did not hesitate at all and immediately said to the person who stopped him.
"Junior Martial Uncle Liu Song?"
The one who stopped Yang Che was a Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase young Cultivator.
Hearing Yang Che report that he was a subordinate of Junior Martial Uncle Liu Song, the young man's face showed a strange expression.
"Then where is your Ancient Blood Corpse?" the young man asked again.
"Injured. Recovering."
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Che immediately released 'Mie's' aura.
The young Cultivator was startled and quickly let Yang Che enter Jiang Huo City.
As soon as Yang Che entered the city, he immediately used the Wind Riding Art and rushed towards the Jiang Family mansion's medicine garden.
At this time, the city was full of ruined walls and a scene of desolation.
Yang Che, familiar with the route, avoided others and quickly arrived at the Jiang Family mansion's medicine garden.
He remembered very clearly that the King-Level Ancient Blood Corpse had just lightly pressed down earlier, which happened to destroy the Restriction of this medicine garden.
Otherwise, Yang Che would never have risked such great danger to return here.
Entering the medicine garden, it appeared ordinary on the surface, with nothing special about it.
Yang Che carefully searched and observed. After countless individual checks, he finally used Mie's powerful Divine Sense to find a rather peculiar and hidden underground entrance.
