Zhang Hao and Tong Xin flew off in the direction the talisman had gone.

"Now I'll take you to meet Li Jingyun. This guy's strength has increased rapidly recently, and he's already among the top in the new faction."

Zhang Hao listened quietly without saying a word. Soon, the blue talisman drifted down into a grove of bushes on the outskirts of town.

A chilling wind blew through the woods, and as it passed Zhang Hao, he caught a faint smell of blood.

Someone died inside.

Zhang Hao was absolutely certain of this.

Tong Xin gently blew on the sapphire ring, and the ring slowly spun, releasing a wisp of blue wind. That wind carried their souls, quietly slipping into the forest and approaching the source of the commotion.

In front of them, in a large crater, Li Jingyun was cleaving someone in two with a single sword strike!

The size of the crater clearly indicates that it was created during the fight just now.

Deep inside the pit, the cleaved corpse gushed blood, which flowed all over the ground.

Li Jingyun stared at the flowing blood, a ferocious smile spreading across his face: "Still won't come out? Your tattered body is almost completely destroyed by me. Even if your soul hides using some secret technique, once the corpse is completely destroyed, you'll eventually have to show yourself..."

Zhang Hao remained silent for a while; this method was truly cruel and outrageous.

Tong Xin, however, quite admired Li Jingyun's methods, even praising him, "No wonder he could make such rapid progress in such a short time, he's ruthless! To absorb souls, he even resorted to such methods of torturing corpses..."

He paused, then smiled. "To be honest, I actually admire him a little. If we weren't destined to fight for the power of the gods, I'd like to be friends with him."

Zhang Hao felt uncomfortable all over, even though he couldn't get goosebumps in his soul state.

"Didn't you come here to cause him trouble? Now go over there..."

Tong Xin interrupted him: "Let him absorb that soul before you make your move. I can obtain a stronger soul. What's the rush?"

Zhang Hao felt a surge of disgust.

If the power to maintain the order of heaven and earth falls into the hands of such a person, it would be an absolute catastrophe for the three realms.

People like this are absolutely disgusting.

Li Jingyun smiled coldly and, without hesitation, set fire to the corpse.

The flames shot up high with a roar as soon as they touched the split body, instantly engulfing the corpse.

Flames burned fiercely, and the smell of burning filled the air.

Li Jingyun laughed heartily as he listened to the screams coming from the corpse.

This guy's cultivation method is a bit special. As long as his body is not completely destroyed, even if only a single hair or a dander of skin remains, he can be reborn!

Once reborn, his soul can also escape. This is why he was able to repeatedly survive the sieges of various experts.

But Li Jingyun has now figured out the details of this life-saving secret, and tonight is his death day. "Your body fell into this big pit, which is equipped with a tight isolation barrier. Not a single piece of your flesh can escape. Now obediently float out, and maybe I'll spare your life if I'm in a good mood!" Li Jingyun was confident of victory, teasing a dying puppy without urging him on.

Zhang Hao found this attitude increasingly disgusting. But Tong Xin, standing beside him, watched with great interest, even whispering a comment: "This guy is ruthless, but unfortunately too ruthless, and his leveling up is too fast. He's become a thorn in the side of many in the new school of celestial masters. Some have even formed a secret alliance, planning to kill him. He probably doesn't even know his death is near. Ah, such an interesting person, it's a real shame he'll be gone soon."

"So, to avoid wasting his time, you came to hunt him down ahead of time?" Zhang Hao sneered.

"Yeah, I'm taking care of him early so as not to waste resources. He's going to die anyway, whether he dies at the hands of those guys who teamed up to kill him or at my hands. I might as well finish him off myself and gain some benefits, don't you think?"

Zhang Hao didn't take it seriously and just stared at him coldly.

"You're holding a grudge against him for swallowing you last time, aren't you? You're just doing this to get revenge and, incidentally, to become stronger." Zhang Hao saw right through his true intentions.

"Oh, so you're a smart person after all, you saw right through me. But even if you see through me, don't say it out loud, you'll definitely help me anyway. Saying that will only make me unhappy. Cooperation should be about mutual cooperation and sincerity, don't you understand?"

He spoke in a lighthearted tone, as if he were talking about something interesting.

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes inwardly. This guy was really shameless; how could he say such a thing?

"Don't make me sound like a pervert like you." Zhang Hao disdainfully pulled away.

While they were communicating in silence, the charred corpse had been completely destroyed by Li Jingyun, and a blue soul floated out from the flames.

Li Jingyun looked at the soul that floated out and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Wouldn't it have been better if you had come out sooner? Why did you have to force me to use that kind of method? Are you just born to be a masochist?"

The blue spirit gradually solidified into a clear face, glaring at Li Jingyun with resentment, and lunged at him in a fit of rage, trying to tear him apart. The ferocious demon, with its bared fangs and claws, looked particularly terrifying in the gloomy jungle. But this seemingly fierce attack couldn't harm Li Jingyun in the slightest.

Li Jingyun raised his hand and gently grabbed the other person's neck.

His neck was gripped, and the blue soul was easily lifted up like a sheet of paper. Li Jingyun tilted his head and said with a smile, "Why did you have to provoke me? I told you not to mess with me, you're really asking for trouble!"

With Li Jingyun's light laughter, accompanied by a shrill scream, the blue soul gradually melted away.

This is truly a case of the soul being scattered and the spirit annihilated.

Zhang Hao was well aware of this, but he did not make a move.

He could see that the so-called victim of the blue soul was also entangled with a lot of resentment and vengeance. This meant that he had also committed many sins and harmed many innocent people.

This kind of person is not worth saving.

"I say, you little bastard who's been hiding in the back watching the show, it's time to come out now, isn't it? Did you really think I didn't notice you?" Li Jingyun turned around with a sneer, his gaze falling on Tong Xin.

Tong Xin smiled, appearing out of thin air and no longer concealing her presence, landing lightly in front of him.

Zhang Hao did not show up because Li Jingyun did not notice him.

"Looks like your perception is pretty good; you were able to sense that I was following you." As soon as Tong Xin landed, she looked him up and down with an admiring gaze.

Li Jingyun took a slight step back. He recognized the newcomer—Tong Xin, a renowned expert among the new school of celestial masters. Why was this guy here? Was he being targeted? But top experts always maintained a tacit understanding not to clash with those of similar strength, as that would only result in mutual destruction, benefiting no one. This guy had actually followed him; was he planning to attack him? (End of Chapter)
