Tong Xin, carrying Zhang Hao, silently floated into the sky.

From mid-air, they could see the bright lights and bustling traffic of cities near the South China Sea. Those massive modern metropolises looked as small as a speck of dust in their eyes.

Tong Xin raised his hand, and the sapphire ring on his middle finger emitted a faint glow.

The light converged, condensing into a blue talisman for finding people.

The talisman was blown away by a gust of wind and drifted into the distance.

That was guiding them in the right direction.

Zhang Hao and Tong Xin flew away following the route indicated by the talisman.

"Now I'll take you to deal with Li Jingyun. This guy's strength has increased dramatically recently, and he's already one of the most formidable members of the new faction."

Zhang Hao listened calmly. Not long after, the blue talisman landed in a grove of bushes on the outskirts of the city.

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

Someone died inside.

Zhang Hao was absolutely certain of this.

Tong Xin blew on the blue ring, and the ring spun, releasing a wisp of blue wind. The wind enveloped their souls and quietly slipped into the location where the noise had originated.

There was a huge pit ahead, and Li Jingyun cleaved someone in two with a single sword strike inside the pit.

This huge crater was clearly created during the fight just now.

Blood gushed out rapidly from the cleaved corpse in the giant pit.

Li Jingyun stared at the blood flowing from the other man, a sinister smile spreading across his face: "Still won't come out? I've almost completely destroyed your wrecked body. Even if your soul has some special magic to hide, you'll eventually have to show yourself once the corpse is completely destroyed..."

Zhang Hao fell silent for a moment; this method was truly cruel.

Tong Xin, however, wholeheartedly agreed with the other party's approach, even praising him: "No wonder his strength increased so rapidly in such a short time, he's ruthless! To absorb souls, he even resorted to such methods of torturing corpses..."

He paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile: "To be honest, I actually admire him quite a bit. If it weren't for the fact that we have to compete with each other for the power of the gods, I would like to be friends with him."

Zhang Hao felt goosebumps all over his body—although he didn't actually have goosebumps in his soul state.

"You came here to kill him, didn't you? Why don't you do it now..."

Tong Xin interrupted him, "Wait until he absorbs that soul before making his move. Then I can receive an even stronger soul. Why rush?"

Zhang Hao felt nauseous.

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

This kind of person is absolutely disgusting.

Li Jingyun smiled coldly and, without hesitation, set the corpse ablaze. The flames landed on the cleaved body, and with a loud bang, instantly engulfed its entire body.

Flames burned, 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 somewhat special. As long as his body is not completely destroyed, even if only a single hair or a dander of skin remains, he can regenerate.

With regeneration, his soul also takes the opportunity to escape, which is why he was able to survive the siege of various masters.

But he already knows this secret method of survival, and tonight is this guy's death day.

“Your body fell into this large pit, which is protected by a very tight barrier. Not a single piece of your flesh can escape. Show yourself now, and maybe I'll spare your life if I'm in a good mood.” With absolute certainty of victory, Li Jingyun watched his opponent struggle in his death throes, and was in no hurry to urge him out.

It's like deliberately teasing a dying puppy.

Zhang Hao found this attitude increasingly disgusting. Tong Xin, however, found it increasingly fascinating, even whispering, "This guy is ruthless, but unfortunately too ruthless, and his leveling up is too fast. He's become a formidable enemy for most of the new-style Celestial Masters. Some have even formed a secret alliance, planning to wipe him out. He probably doesn't even know his death is imminent. Ah, such an interesting person, it's really a pity he'll be dead soon."

"So, to avoid wasting his time, you came to hunt him ahead of time?" Zhang Hao asked with a sneer.

"Yes, I came to hunt him ahead of time. It's not a waste of resources. He's going to die anyway, whether he dies at the hands of the group that teamed up against him or at my hands. I might as well kill him myself and gain some benefits, don't you think?"

Zhang Hao remained unconvinced and calmly observed the other party.

"You're holding a grudge because he swallowed you last time, aren't you? You're doing this just to get revenge and become stronger at the same time." Zhang Hao saw through the other party's true purpose incisively.

"Oh, so you're a smart person, seeing right through me. But even if you see through me, don't say it out loud. You'll help me anyway, and saying that will only annoy me. Cooperation means mutual respect and sincerity, understand?"

He said it in a light tone.

Zhang Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes. This guy was really shameless; how could he say something like that?
"Don't make me sound like a pervert like you." Zhang Hao said disdainfully, trying to distance himself from him.

As they spoke in silence, Li Jingyun completely destroyed the charred corpse. A blue soul floated out of the flames.

Li Jingyun watched the soul leap out, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. "Wouldn't it have been better if you'd come out sooner? Why did you have to force me to use those methods? Are you just naturally masochistic?" The blue soul gradually revealed a clear face, glaring at Li Jingyun with resentment, then lunged at him in a fit of rage, ready to tear him apart. Its ferocious, fanged appearance was terrifying in the eerie jungle. However, this seemingly ferocious attack did nothing to harm Li Jingyun. Li Jingyun simply raised his hand and easily grabbed the soul by the neck. With its neck in his grasp, the blue soul was lifted up like a small paper doll. Li Jingyun smiled and tilted his head, saying, "Why did you have to provoke me? I told you not to mess with me! You're really asking for it!"

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

This is true soul annihilation.

Zhang Hao was well aware of this, but he did not offer any help.

Because he could also see that the so-called victim of the blue soul also carried a lot of grievances and resentment, indicating that he had also committed a lot of sins and harmed many innocent people.

There's no need to help someone like that.

"I say, you sneaky lurking in the back watching the show, it's time to come out, isn't it? Did you really think I didn't notice you?" Li Jingyun turned around with a cold smile, his gaze landing on Tong Xin. Tong Xin smiled; he appeared out of thin air, no longer concealing his presence, and floated lightly in front of the other man. Zhang Hao didn't come out, because the other man hadn't noticed him.
