Yang Che stopped talking nonsense and swung Sword Four forward fiercely.

The dark Sword Aura was like a flood Dragon emerging from its lair, swift as lightning.

Xu Haijing knew the power of the Ancient Treasure Sword Four in Yang Che’s hand and seemed to have been prepared. Before Yang Che even raised his sword, he had already activated an Intermediate-grade defensive Talisman, forming a thin, cicada-wing-like armor around his body.

The Sword Aura struck Xu Haijing, and at the moment cracks appeared in the cicada-wing armor, a strange beast roar suddenly sounded. Immediately after, a gigantic dark red centipede, nearly a hundred feet long, appeared within the Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formation.

With the appearance of the centipede, the entire grand formation's light barrier bulged, and a series of crackling sounds erupted. Seeing that it couldn't break through the light barrier, the centipede immediately spewed out powerful poisonous Qi, which almost instantly permeated the entire light barrier.

Yang Che glanced at the Ancient Blood Corpse ‘Miet’ who was battling the middle-aged male and female Cultivators, and seeing that he showed no signs of poisoning, he felt a little relieved.

Taking out a Qingxin Pill and tossing it into his mouth, Yang Che looked at the giant centipede with extreme indifference. With a thought, thousands of Winged Fire Dragonflies surged out rapidly.

As soon as these Winged Fire Dragonflies, radiating bloodthirsty and frantic auras, were released by Yang Che, they immediately swarmed towards the gigantic dark red centipede under Yang Che's mental control.

Soon, the nearly hundred-foot-long body of the giant centipede was covered in Winged Fire Dragonflies.

Immediately after, a scalp-numbing gnawing sound echoed, and Xu Haijing instantly revealed an expression of extreme horror.

The centipede Spirit Beast, comparable to a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, had its exoskeleton rapidly gnawed through at a visible speed, followed by its flesh and blood quickly disappearing, gradually leaving only a skeletal frame.

“No…”

Xu Haijing cried out, immediately wanting to recall the centipede.

He really hadn't expected that after this centipede appeared, it didn't help at all, but was instead about to die immediately.

This was his clan uncle Xu Dongyuan’s Spirit Beast. If it died in the Boundary Battlefield, he would have no way to explain it to his clan uncle after he got out.

However, very quickly, Xu Haijing’s heart suddenly turned cold when he discovered that he couldn't retrieve the centipede into his spirit beast bag!

In that instant, he couldn't help but think of his beloved Junior Sister Qingruo, who had become increasingly distant from him. Furthermore, after leaving this Boundary Battlefield, Junior Sister Qingruo was very likely to become Dao Companion with this Yang Che.

“Ah…”

An uncontrollable surge of jealousy made Xu Haijing roar madly, and his hatred for Yang Che escalated infinitely, quickly turning into extreme malice.

He suddenly took out a Medicinal Pill and swallowed it, then quickly took out seven dark red small knives.

Yang Che’s eyes narrowed involuntarily.

He saw that these seven dark red small knives were identical in shape, palm-sized, and subtly gleamed with black light within their dark red hue.

Without a word, Yang Che took out the Talisman Treasure 'Jadeite Small Knife', instantly activating it. A small knife shimmering with dazzling green light immediately shot towards Xu Haijing.

The malice in Xu Haijing’s eyes grew more and more intense.

Seeing the green small knife flying towards him, he couldn't help but laugh several times, then violently plunged one of the dark red small knives in his hand into his own shoulder.

As the dark red small knife pierced his body, Xu Haijing’s aura surged dramatically.

Immediately after, he threw a punch that sent the green small knife Talisman Treasure flying off at an angle.

Xu Haijing’s originally proper facial features twisted together, revealing a ferocious smile.

He then successively plunged the dark red small knives into his other shoulder and both thighs.

The insertion of the four dark red small knives caused Xu Haijing’s aura to astonishingly surge to the Early Golden Core Stage.

Yang Che’s expression darkened, knowing he couldn't give Xu Haijing any more time or opportunity. So, Sword Four suddenly swung up, striking directly at Xu Haijing.

Xu Haijing, however, revealed a cruel smile, licked his lips, and his entire demeanor seemed to change.

Then Yang Che saw Xu Haijing take out the Ancient Treasure Scarlet Red Broken Bottle, which directly blocked Sword Four's dark aura.

After blocking the Sword Aura, Xu Haijing then inserted the remaining three dark red small knives into his abdomen, chest, and the back of his head, respectively.

This made Yang Che unable to help but be moved.

Inserting dark red small knives into the legs, shoulders, abdomen, and chest could still be controlled to be non-fatal, but inserting one into the back of the head was extremely dangerous; a slight mishap could lead to death.

What secret art was Xu Haijing using?

Just then, Xu Haijing’s aura had already climbed to the peak of the Early Golden Core Stage, only a hair’s breadth away from the Core Formation Stage.

“Yang Che, die!”

Xu Haijing’s entire body burst forth with blood-red light, quickly becoming enveloped in a thick blood cloud.

Yang Che swung his sword again.

Sword Four’s dark aura struck the blood cloud but failed to break through its defense.

Just as Yang Che was surprised, Xu Haijing suddenly aimed the mouth of the Ancient Treasure Scarlet Red Broken Bottle at Yang Che.

“Collect!”

With a cold shout from Xu Haijing, Yang Che instantly felt a huge, strange pulling force envelop him, simultaneously drawing him towards the Scarlet Red Broken Bottle.

He actually couldn't break free from this pulling force!

Yang Che’s heart suddenly sank.

With a thought, the Nine Heart Thunder Flame surged out wildly.

A tall, bone-white flaming giant immediately appeared between him and the Scarlet Red Broken Bottle.

It was the true form of the Nine Heart Thunder Flame.

A hint of disdain and mockery appeared on the Nine Heart Thunder Flame's blurry face, then with a grab of its large hand, it directly seized the mouth of the Scarlet Red Broken Bottle.

The bottle mouth was quickly blocked by the Nine Heart Thunder Flame, and only then did Yang Che feel his body lighten, and the strange pulling force disappeared.

“It’s that damned strange flame again!”

Xu Haijing was startled, cursed angrily, then quickly retrieved the Scarlet Red Broken Bottle, and a Talisman Treasure appeared in his hand.

As soon as the Talisman Treasure appeared in his hand, Xu Haijing felt a great pang of pain and reluctance, but given the current situation, he couldn't afford to feel distressed and directly activated the Talisman Treasure.

Yang Che had already leapt to a distant spot at this time.

His body was also covered with a layer of Dark Annihilation Sword Aura and a layer of dark Thunder Cloud.

While continuing to manipulate the Jadeite Small Knife Talisman Treasure, ready to counter the Talisman Treasure in Xu Haijing's hand at any moment, he turned back and glared fiercely at the Ancient Blood Corpse ‘Miet’, cursing, “Miet, I’ll give you five more breaths. If you still can’t eliminate these two, I’ll eliminate you first.”

The Ancient Blood Corpse ‘Miet’ immediately showed a wronged expression, feeling bitter in his heart but unable to express it.

Fortunately, at this moment, Yang Che timely struck an incantation seal onto him.

With his master's command, Miet naturally dared not delay. A blood-red light flashed in his eyes, and his aura actually surged again!

Yang Che immediately turned his head and found that Xu Haijing’s Talisman Treasure had actually transformed into an incredibly enormous ‘Azure Sword’.

From this Azure Sword, powerful Sword Qi continuously emanated, striking the surrounding grand formation’s light barrier.

The light barrier trembled, and it looked like the Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formation was about to be broken through very soon.

“Descend!”

Xu Haijing shouted coldly, and the Azure Sword directly descended towards Yang Che’s head.

Yang Che flicked his finger, and the Jadeite Small Knife swiftly shot up into the sky, colliding with the Azure Sword with a loud bang.

One azure, one green, both shone brightly.

The enormous energy ripples actually shattered the grand formation’s light barrier and continued to spread outwards.

At the same time, the Jadeite Small Knife was clearly no match; after its green light was shattered, the Azure Sword directly slashed down towards Yang Che.

Yang Che’s eyes were cold, and a strange Talisman appeared in his hand. At the same time, with a thought, another thousand Winged Fire Dragonflies flew out, directly swarming towards Xu Haijing.

Concurrently, the other thousand Winged Fire Dragonflies, which had already gnawed the giant poisonous centipede clean, also rapidly flew towards Xu Haijing.

Just as the gigantic Azure Sword was about to land on Yang Che, Yang Che fiercely crushed the strange Talisman in his hand.

It was precisely the precious 'Array Talisman' he had obtained from the white-robed old man Chen Liansheng in Wulong Valley back then!

The Azure Sword struck nothing but air.

Yang Che’s figure, however, strangely appeared beside Xu Haijing.

All of the Extreme Power surged into Sword Four, which he thrust fiercely into the blood cloud.

A tiny sword-eye appeared.

Immediately, over two thousand Winged Fire Dragonflies, as if finding an outlet, quickly drilled into this sword-eye like flowing water.

‘Ah’

Within the blood cloud, a sharp, miserable scream echoed through the sky.

The dense gnawing sounds quickly drowned out the screams.

After a while, the blood cloud suddenly shattered.

A white, skeletal frame, completely devoid of flesh and blood, and a gray Storage Pouch appeared before Yang Che’s eyes.

Yang Che unceremoniously collected the Storage Pouch, then opened it and swept his Divine Sense through it, his expression immediately freezing.
