Chapter 438: A Single Move to Defeat the Enemy

Seeing that his threats were ineffective, Ji Yang no longer communicated and focused on fleeing.

He hoped that the red howler sparrow would stop chasing after a while.

As a person and beast raced after each other, several cultivators traveling in the distance noticed the situation.

They initially thought it was a fierce beast, which made the cultivators in front hesitate to fight.

However, after taking a closer look, they realized it was merely a Void Refinement Stage red howler sparrow.

When they saw Ji Yang being chased by the red howler sparrow, they couldn’t help but sneer. This person was so useless that he was fleeing in panic from a mere early stage beast.

After all, aside from its speed, the beast was not strong in other respects.

But when they noticed Ji Yang’s late Void Refinement stage cultivation level, surprise filled their eyes.

If the person were just at the early Void Refinement stage and unfamiliar with the beast’s abilities, that would be understandable. However, with a late Void Refinement stage cultivation level, he shouldn’t be chased so desperately.

Unless…

At this moment, other thoughts crossed their minds. Although none among them were late Void Refinement stage cultivators, they had the audacity.

Looking again at Ji Yang being pursued by the red howler sparrow, they shared glances filled with excitement.

A Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator hovered in mid-air and then launched a spell attack at Ji Yang from a distance.

Noticing the attack, Ji Yang quickly dodged and narrowly avoided it, but he had no intention of counterattacking and instead accelerated his escape.

The red howler sparrow continued to pursue him relentlessly.

Seeing this, the Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator smiled.

As expected, this person was afraid to retaliate; he must be heavily injured and concerned about being discovered while fighting the red howler sparrow.

The reason he was fleeing so quickly might also be that he carried some kind of treasure that the red howler sparrow could not let go of.

Even without treasure, the belongings of a late Void Refinement stage cultivator were worth the risk.

No one becomes rich without unexpected windfalls; a horse does not grow fat without night grass.

How could a cultivator lack a bit of adventurous spirit?

Moreover, even if he faced defeat, he could retreat safely.

Thinking this, the Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator no longer hesitated and quickly turned to fly ahead of Ji Yang, clearly planning to block his path.

The other cultivators watched with a hint of regret in their eyes.

It seemed they shared similar thoughts, but it was unfortunate that this person had acted first.

However, the others did not hurry to act but rather hung back, waiting silently.

A dead camel is larger than a horse, and even if the late Void Refinement stage cultivator was heavily injured, he undoubtedly still had some tricks up his sleeve. It might be better to let the others test him first; perhaps they could benefit later.

This thought was shared by more than one person; aside from the cultivator blocking Ji Yang’s path, the others were currently watching the spectacle.

The Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator, flying forward, noticed the others did not retreat and knew what they were plotting, but he didn’t care; he was confident in his strength.

Before long, he reached the essential path ahead of Ji Yang and summoned his magic treasure, clearly preparing to unleash a powerful attack to send Ji Yang to his demise.

Behind him, Ji Yang’s anger began to simmer, especially when the unfamiliar cultivator’s spell attack came towards him.

As Ji Yang watched the Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator ahead, who stood confidently with a treasure in hand, ready to block his path, his anger reached its peak.

“Just because the tiger doesn’t show its power, do you really think I’m a sick cat?”

Seeing the man obstinately blocking the road, Ji Yang sneered lightly and sped up, flying towards him.

The Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator saw Ji Yang charging straight at him without dodging, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

When Ji Yang was only a hundred meters away, a formation rose from below, trapping Ji Yang inside.

Seeing Ji Yang caught in the formation, the Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator laughed out loud:

“Hahaha, kid, you’ve fallen for my trap!”

Did he think he was wasting time by blocking the path?

In fact, he had secretly set up a great formation, ensuring that it was foolproof.

But when he noticed Ji Yang was still charging towards him without pausing, with no sign of fear in his eyes, a shiver ran through him.

This ominous sign prompted the Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator to raise the Array Flag in his hand, unleashing the full power of the formation in an attempt to stop Ji Yang.

However, the next moment, his eyes went wide in disbelief.

His great formation was shattered by Ji Yang’s punch.

At the moment the formation broke, his heart skipped a beat.

It seemed he had provoked a cultivator he should not have!

Realizing the situation was dire, the Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator hesitated no longer and prepared to flee.

Just then, a powerful burst of primordial spirit energy crashed towards him, leaving his mind blank.

By the time he regained his senses, he saw a sweeping kick aimed at him!

What seemed like an ordinary attack now frightened him greatly.

In this moment of life and death, the Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator showcased his exceptional emergency skills. In an instant, he unleashed all his defensive techniques.

Treasures, Talismans, chest armor!

A myriad of defenses emerged, but when Ji Yang’s kick swept through, all those layers were broken like thin paper.

With that one kick, the blocking Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator was sent flying.

At this point, Ji Yang also halted his steps, not sparing a glance at the man who had been knocked away.

His earlier strike was not just fueled by anger; it also carried the remnants of the power of lightning calamity. There was no chance for this Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator to survive, so Ji Yang felt no need to look back.

Afterward, he turned to face the foolish bird, intending to deal with it as well, now that the battle had begun.

Noticing Ji Yang stop, the red howler sparrow behind him also maintained strict control over the distance between them, slowing down as well.

Seeing the Mid Void Refinement stage cultivator sprawled on the ground, his body trembling but his breaths growing weaker, the red howler sparrow revealed a hint of fear in its eyes. Without hesitation, it turned and fled, moving even faster than when it chased Ji Yang.

Ji Yang contemplated intervening as he watched the fleeing red howler sparrow, but the remnants of the power of lightning calamity surged within him due to his earlier action, forcing him to suppress it with his abilities.

Although that kick delayed his recovery by half a day, seeing the lifeless figure of the blocking cultivator brought a sense of relief to Ji Yang.

Then, Ji Yang stopped looking back and continued flying towards his destination.

As he departed, he cast a light glance at the other onlookers but chose not to act against them.
