You crazy woman, just you wait!

A Hundred Li away, in a dense, uninhabited forest.

The space suddenly warped, and Lin Yuan's figure stumbled out, his internal organs feeling displaced, and his vision blurring.

He clung tightly to an ancient tree, breathing heavily, and looked back the way he came, his heart still hammering wildly in his chest.

The hateful blow from the Nascent Soul Cultivator, that destructive Sword Pressure—if not for this Hundred Li Divine Travel Talisman, he probably wouldn't even have a speck of dust left now.

"Yue Qingyao is only an Early Stage Nascent Soul, and the maximum range of her Divine Sense is seventy or eighty li. It should be safe here."

Lin Yuan patted his chest, just about to let out a sigh of relief.

Before he finished speaking, a cold, familiar, and powerful Divine Sense, like a maggot clinging to bone, spanned a distance of a Hundred Li and locked onto him firmly again!

"What the f*ck!"

The relief on Lin Yuan's face instantly froze, replaced by unbelievable horror.

That Divine Sense was cold, venomous, and manic, enveloping him as if ignoring the obstruction of space!

"How could this woman's Divine Sense... be this strong! Covering a Hundred Li—that's the Divine Sense intensity only a Middle Nascent Soul Stage possesses!" Lin Yuan cursed internally.

He didn't have time to think; a Cold Gleam had already appeared on the horizon, tearing through the air at an alarming speed!

That familiar aura made his scalp tingle.

Lin Yuan dared not delay; his mouth twitched in distress, and he activated the Divine Movement Talisman again.

"Crazy Bitch, you're ruthless!"

With a flash of silver light, his figure vanished from the spot again.

Lin Yuan's figure reappeared another Hundred Li away.

He did not dare to stop, and almost the instant he landed, he activated the Divine Movement Talisman for its final use.

"Just in case! I refuse to believe you can chase me for three Hundred Li!"

After two consecutive Instantaneous Movements, traversing two Hundred Li, he refused to believe that Crazy Bitch could still catch up!

This time, he waited for the Duration of an Incense Stick, and that chilling Divine Sense that made his scalp crawl indeed did not reappear.

"Finally shook her off."

Lin Yuan let out a long breath, feeling completely exhausted.

The consumption of Magic Power was secondary; it was mainly the mental strain that left him utterly fatigued.

However, before he could completely relax, fierce rumbling sounds of Magic Power, accompanied by the clang of metal striking metal, came from the front, not far away.

Lin Yuan looked up and realized that he had unknowingly entered a long, narrow canyon.

Both sides were towering cliffs, and the sounds were coming from deep within the canyon. A certain dense blend of Yin Qi and Evil Qi emanating from there felt somewhat familiar to him.

He just wanted to find a place to hide and act like a shrinking turtle; he had no interest in joining any excitement.

Just as he prepared to turn around and slip away, a sharp Escape Light flew straight toward his location from far away, moving extremely fast, clearly having already spotted him.

Lin Yuan's heart tightened, and he immediately restrained his aura, ready to flee at any moment.

The Escape Light dissipated, revealing a familiar figure.

Clad in a simple dress, her posture was tall and straight, and her face was aloof.

It was Gu Zheng.

Her situation was not good at the moment.

Her usually aloof and delicate face was pale as paper, blood stained the corner of her mouth, and the front of her robe was soaked in a large patch of blood. Her aura was severely unstable; she had clearly suffered a serious injury.

Seeing someone, a flicker of joy first crossed her eyes, but upon realizing it was Lin Yuan, the joy instantly faded, turning into shock. She then tightly furrowed her delicate brows, and worry flashed through her phoenix eyes.

She was very clear about Lin Yuan's Cultivation, Foundation Establishment Mid Stage—in a battle of this caliber, he was no different from cannon fodder.

"Hurry and leave!"

Her voice was clear but urgent.

As soon as her voice fell, another Escape Light had already caught up, hovering mid-air and firmly blocking their path.

The newcomer was dressed in flowing white robes, holding a Jade Bone Folding Fan. It was Bai Yixuan.

He also looked somewhat disheveled, his clothes stained with a little dust, but his face held the smugness of a cat playing with a mouse.

"Haha... leave? No one is leaving today!"

Bai Yixuan's gaze swept past Gu Zheng and finally landed on Lin Yuan, his eyes filled with mockery and undisguised killing intent.

"Junior Brother Lin, what a coincidence. You chose not to walk the path to Heaven, but instead forced your way through the gate of Hell. Perfect. Stay here and accompany Senior Sister Gu in death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed the folding fan in his hand toward Lin Yuan from afar.

"Roar!"

The Golden Armored Corpse that had been following him let out a low roar. Its massive body brought with it a foul wind, rushing towards Lin Yuan like a moving hill!

That terrifying pressure, comparable to the Early Stage Core Formation, caused the air within the canyon to solidify.

"Be careful!"

Seeing Lin Yuan advance instead of retreating, Gu Zheng couldn't help but cry out in alarm, her heart filled with extreme anxiety.

She wanted to move to rescue him, but she was firmly locked down by Bai Yixuan's Qi Mechanism and couldn't break free.

"Haha! Senior Sister, worry about yourself first!"

Bai Yixuan laughed smugly.

"My Golden Armored Corpse has been tempered for decades using Earthly Evil Yin Qi. It is already impervious to blades and spears, and immune to water and fire, just one step away from becoming an Indestructible Bone! A Foundation Establishment ant like him isn't even enough to stick in my treasure's teeth!"

Facing the ferociously pouncing Golden Armored Corpse, Lin Yuan showed no fear; instead, his gaze grew colder.

He flipped his palm, and a silver thunder bamboo leaf, thin as a cicada's wing and shimmering with silver light, appeared between his fingers.

Just as the Golden Armored Corpse's sharp, corpse-hair-covered claws were about to reach his face, Lin Yuan flicked his wrist.

That silver thunder bamboo leaf transformed into a nearly imperceptible silver electric light, silently tearing through the air.

"Pfft!"

A slight sound, like the tearing of cloth.

That thin bamboo leaf effortlessly pierced the Golden Armored Corpse's supposedly indestructible chest.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

A harsh sound of electric arcs exploding suddenly rang out!

Silver lightning centered on the bamboo leaf, instantly covering the Golden Armored Corpse's entire body like a deadly spider web! The violent power of thunder was the nemesis of all Yin and Evil Qi in the world!

"ROAR—!"

The Golden Armored Corpse let out an unprecedented, mournful howl. Its massive body trembled violently, emitting bursts of pungent, burnt black smoke. Its fierce and violent aura instantly wilted, as if doused with a basin of ice water.

Lin Yuan's face was solemn, and he gave it no chance to breathe.

He flipped his palm again, and another silver thunder bamboo leaf appeared between his fingers.

He flicked his finger.

The silver light flashed again, shooting with extreme precision into the Golden Armored Corpse's wide-open mouth of pain, piercing straight through the back of its head!

The Golden Armored Corpse's howl abruptly ceased.

Its massive body stiffened on the spot, the Soul Fire burning in its eye sockets quickly dimmed, and finally, with a "boom," it crashed heavily to the ground, creating a shallow pit, convulsed a few times, and fell silent.

The entire process happened in the blink of an eye, swiftly and suddenly.

"No... impossible!"

The elegant and smug smile on Bai Yixuan's face completely froze, replaced by endless horror and heart-wrenching distress.

"silver thunder bamboo leaf... How could you possess such a divine item!"

He looked at the corpse still emitting black smoke on the ground, his heart bleeding.

This Golden Armored Corpse had consumed half his life's effort and countless resources. It was his greatest reliance and trump card, yet... it was instantly killed by two flimsy leaves?

On the other side, Gu Zheng also stopped moving, staring blankly at the scene.

For the first time, unbelievable shock appeared in her pair of calm phoenix eyes.

She looked at the man standing quietly beside the Golden Armored Corpse. His physique was not particularly tall, and his Cultivation was far inferior to hers, yet for some reason, at this moment, his calm and decisive manner made her feel an unprecedented sense of alarm and security.
