However.
Half a day after he left Nanhuai City, when he was still halfway to Tong City, suddenly, an old but furious roar fell from the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A strike filled with rage targeted the original position of Han Yi.
However, as the spirit energy fluctuated mid-air, Han Yi had already dodged by moving more than thirty meters back in an instant.
Before the spiritual energy storm dissipated, an old cultivator descended.
This was an elderly cultivator with white hair and wrinkles. The dignity unique to a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator rose from him. However, Han Yi keenly sensed a smell of decay within that dignity.
“My name is Han Nan, a cultivator of the Heavenly Will Sect. May I ask, sir, for what reason have you attacked me unprovoked?”
“Before I left the mountain, my master said that a powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivator would mistake me for someone else, but the misunderstanding would be cleared up in the end.”
“Could it be that you have mistaken me for Han Yi? My despicable brother is treacherous and unscrupulous. We share a similar aura due to being blood relatives. Some cultivators have mistaken me for Han Yi before and caused misunderstandings.”
“Please, sir, discern the truth.”
Suppressing the tension in his heart, Han Yi tried to maintain a composed appearance. This tension was a natural fear of a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator facing a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, without any significant flaws.
During the earlier attack, Han Yi had already figured out the key point of this situation.
The visitor should be Gu Zhijing, the head of the Gu family, and one of the Elders in the Xuandan Sect, without any accident.
Upon hearing Han Yi’s words, Gu Zhijing paused for a moment, and his surging anger suddenly abated.
He held a wisp of black smoke in his hand. When he released it, the smoke floated and transformed into an arrowhead pointing at Han Yi.
Han Yi felt a chili when the black smoke pointed at him, but he did not make any other moves.
Gu Zhijing walked ten meters to the side, and the black smoke arrowhead still pointed at Han Yi.
Then, he even circled around, and the black smoke arrowhead always pointed at Han Yi.
Despite the black smoke pointing at him, Han Yi’s face remained unchanged. However, his heart had already sunk.
Gu Zhijing suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with even more intense anger than before.
“Shameless brat, you even dare to deceive me! It must have been you who killed Tongxuan. You are not weak!”
“But, a mere Qi Cultivator dares to spout nonsense in front of me.”
“Die!”
Gu Zhijing pointed a finger, and a wisp of black light flashed past, crossing the tens of meters in an instant, about to hit Han Yi.
This was a magic similar to the Spirit Void Finger.
When the black light burst out, Han Yi felt a sinking sensation all over his body. It was as if some terrifying force was targeting him, and a disaster was about to befall him.
However.
His experience was equally rich, and before the ‘Die’ word from the Foundation Establishment old cultivator, Gu Zhijing, was uttered, he had already activated a Fire Shield Skill.
Bang!
The black light shattered the flaming shield created by the Fire Shield Skill, but its force had also nearly been exhausted. It collided with a green-black long sword that was behind the same Fire Shield Skill, easily dispersing it.
The green-black long sword flashed by, extremely fast and silent, while it was tens of meters away from Han Yi.
Gu Zhijing’s face changed slightly as he flicked his finger. That finger contained half of his strength. Even a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Cultivation stage would face certain death.
Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment can’t simply rely on the accumulation of magic energy to bridge the gap. One’s magic skills and spiritual perception have undergone a metamorphosis after a breakthrough.
The Immortal Path Foundation Building stage theoretically allows cultivators to step onto the true Immortal Road. No matter how much preparation a Qi Cultivation cultivator makes, they still remain on the edge of the Immortal Road.
However, there are a handful of cultivators who can resist the Foundation Establishment stage even as a Qi Cultivator.
The Legendary Qi Cultivators.
This title is not a realm, but rather an honorable appellation.
In the Xuandan Sect, two years ago, there were seventy to eighty Foundation Establishment cultivators, but only two Legendary Qi Cultivators.
Although the number of Qi Cultivators at the peak has increased rapidly in the past two years, there has not been a corresponding increase in Legendary Qi Cultivator numbers.
As Gu Zhijing’s face changed, the green-black long sword that had shattered his black light was already silently approaching him.
“A top-grade magical tool.”
Although it was silent, Gu Zhijing easily identified the aura of the long sword, which was on the same level as his own magical tool.
After briefly being stunned, greed flashed in his eyes. Suppressing the greedy expression, his face changed once again.
It was unthinkable that a Qi Cultivator at the ninth level would possess a top-grade magical tool.
However, Han Yi had killed people from the Gu family and already knew the secret behind their Yin-Yang Soul Nourishing Pill refining process. Regardless of his identity, Han Yi had to be killed first.
In an instant.
Gu Zhijing flipped his hands, revealing a black nine-layered tower. He bit his fingertip, smeared the blood on the tower, and then pointed at Han Yi with a bloodstained finger.
Suddenly, black blood shot out from the tower. The black blood emitted a strange, fishy, and evil smell, making Han Yi tens of meters away slightly unsettled.
The black blood rolled around, trying to envelop the Green Reed Sword, and Han Yi, who was tens of meters away, sensed danger in an instant.
He did not have much experience with the methods of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but that did not prevent him from being on high alert.
His spiritual perception suddenly surged out, attaching to the Green Reed Sword. The Peak Mastery Sword Control Skill made the top-grade sword tool instantly increase its speed by 10%. Its rapid movement broke through the strange black blood in a straight line and directly reached Gu Zhijing’s face..
