Observing the reactions of Black Death Daoist and the others.
No doubt, the Jindan who has revealed themselves now is undoubtedly the Jindan True Person of the Netherworld Sect.
Ji Haoyuan and the others felt sudden alarm bells ringing in their hearts.
Especially after witnessing the skill the opponent had just demonstrated, Ji Haoyuan knew very clearly that between Jindan and Foundation Establishment, there exists an almost insurmountable chasm.
The gap between the two sides is like clouds and mud, something that cannot be remedied by treasures or magic techniques.
And at this moment, shadows flickered in the void.
Those shadows seemed alive, gradually condensing into a young figure with black hair and black eyes, but with a face that appeared quite sinister.
It was exactly the Netherworld Sect Jindan, Master You Ying.
At this moment, his gaze shifted directly to Ji Haoyuan present.
In that instance, Ji Haoyuan felt as if a primordial fierce beast was staring at him.
The magical power that always worked smoothly for him now seemed frozen.
No matter how he tried to mobilize it, there was no response at all.
Without any visible movement from Master You Ying, there were already sounds of bones being crushed emanating from Ji Haoyuan’s body.
This was the first time since Ji Haoyuan achieved Foundation Establishment that he faced such dangerous desperation.
He felt like he had returned to a hundred years ago, before he had even set foot on the path of cultivation.
Facing high-level cultivators like Foundation Establishment and Jindan, he was completely powerless, even against a Qi Refining cultivator.
Is this the might of Jindan?
Even with his current foundation, he was akin to an infant before it.
Ji Haoyuan’s body heavily slammed onto the ground below.
However, just at the moment his feet touched the ground, the characteristic of his cultivation technique, Profound Fire and Earth Technique, suddenly activated.
Deep in the earth vein, a continuous stream of power suddenly surged into his surroundings.
Causing the magical power that had been entirely frozen to finally show a slight breach.
Crunch—crunch, crunch, crunch—
Without any hesitation, Ji Haoyuan, enduring the excruciating pain of his bones breaking inch by inch, decisively operated his magical power.
Unbeknownst to him, a sword talisman radiating silver light had already appeared in his hand.
It was the Talisman Treasure Silver Sword Talisman, bestowed upon him early by Ji Bochang as part of his family’s legacy.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
At this instant, an endless array of dazzling sword light gathered on it.
A terrifying Qi Mechanism completely surpassing Foundation Establishment instantly made everyone present shrink their eyes.
Even Master You Ying, who was a Jindan True Person, revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes but soon that changed to mockery.
The talisman treasure was crafted by extracting part of the power of Jindan cultivators’ magical treasures, surely possessing power exceeding the level of Foundation Establishment.
But against these Jindan cultivators, the power of this treasure, truth be told, is indeed not worth much consideration.
However, Ji Haoyuan activated the Silver Sword Talisman not to fight against Master You Ying.
He knew it was unrealistic.
His true purpose was merely to use this treasure to buy a little time.
After all, the commotion they stirred moments ago was not small.
Since Master You Ying could perceive it and personally arrive.
Then as the Jindan cultivator stationed here for the Crimson Sunset Sect, Master Binghuo, there is no reason he wouldn’t perceive it.
Especially now that Master You Ying had already appeared ahead of time.
Even if the opportunity in the medicine garden didn’t exist, Master Binghuo would definitely come to investigate.
Although hoping for help from others is generally inappropriate.
Ji Haoyuan never had such a mindset.
But today, under this desperate situation, it seemed all he could do was this.
The gap between Jindan and Foundation Establishment is simply too vast.
It is so vast that you can’t make up for it with some so-called methods or trump cards.
The sword light shattered.
Master You Ying gently pointed, and the Talisman Treasure Silver Sword Talisman in Ji Haoyuan’s hand exploded into tiny dots of light and dissipated.
Then, a massive fiery demonic hand surged towards Ji Haoyuan with a stance he couldn’t resist.
If it really grabbed hold, no matter how deep Ji Haoyuan’s cultivation foundation is, no matter how many trump cards he has, it would be certain doom!
Just at the moment when the giant hand was about to reach him, a sharp sword light wrapped with frost flames arrived abruptly!
Rip— This update is available on novel⟡fire.net
In an instant, the sword light tore apart the fiery demonic hand above Ji Haoyuan’s head.
Immediately afterward, an incredibly graceful young female cultivator appeared right in front of Ji Haoyuan and the others, seemingly enveloped in a cloud of mist that obscured her true features, with two swords, one blue and one red, across her back!
It was Master Binghuo, the Jindan cultivator of the Crimson Sunset Sect!
In an instant, the pressure that once surrounded Ji Haoyuan and the others vanished.
"We pay our respects to the True Person!"
Without any hesitation, Ji Haoyuan immediately greeted the Master Binghuo respectfully.
Then, with a flip of his hand, he presented the jade box containing the Yin Yang Profound Fruit to Master Binghuo.
"Honoring the True Person, this item is a three-tier Spiritual Object, the Yin Yang Profound Fruit, obtained by the junior through pure luck previously.
Such a treasure would be wasted if left in the hands of the junior.
The junior is willing to offer this Spiritual Object to the True Person!"
At this moment, Ji Haoyuan’s mind was extremely clear and calm.
He knew very well that with two Jindan cultivators here, wanting to keep the three-tier Spiritual Object, the Yin Yang Profound Fruit, in his possession was clearly not feasible.
Rather than resisting, it would be better to voluntarily offer the Yin Yang Profound Fruit to the Master Binghuo in front.
Especially after witnessing the methods used by the other.
He was almost eighty percent certain that the other followed the Sword Cultivator path like Qiu Zeyuan.
People like that often have a clear sense of justice and greatly value cause and effect.
Because only in this way could their sword heart remain untainted, and thoughts flow smoothly.
Only then could the swords they wield possess an unstoppable and unshackled sharp intent.
Moreover, there was another benefit to doing so.
By seizing this opportunity, he could form some relationship with the other.
Even hoping to gain a degree of protection and care in the future.
This was extremely important for him who had yet to condense a Golden Core.
To put it plainly, even without the various benefits mentioned, just based on the fact that the other saved him moments ago, offering the Yin Yang Profound Fruit was the least he should do.
However, his action incited a sudden icy murderous intent in the eyes of Master You Ying.
In the void, twisted illusory shadows abruptly appeared.
Those shadows appeared like knives and spears, like arrows and axes.
In an instant, Ji Haoyuan felt an abyssal death aura rushing towards him.
But at that precise moment, a soft snort unexpectedly emanated from Master Binghuo’s mouth.
Then, sword light infused with boundless coldness swept through each of the twisted shadows.
