Chapter 56 Powerful Beings Die Quickly

Qi Zhe's words echoed through the mountains. His arrogant attitude caused Han Jing's expression to change drastically, and he stood on the mountaintop, filled with doubt and surprise.

Qi Zhe's words were loaded with meaning, clearly indicating that he knew the secrets within Yao Guang. Han Jing only thought that he had deliberately joined the Yao Guang Holy Land to gather information.

Thinking of this, Han Jing suddenly shouted angrily, "Who exactly are you? Did the Jiang family send you?!"

A master from the Ruthless lineage once infiltrated the ancient Jiang family to select disciples, but unexpectedly, a powerful figure within the Jiang family saw through his scheme, not only killing the man but also obtaining the Undying Heavenly Technique.

Han Jing thought that Qi Zhe must have been sent by the Jiang family, and his expression became even more ferocious.

"Heh," Qi Zhe shook his head upon hearing this, not answering the other person, and said to himself, "Good question, but unfortunately there is no answer."

Han Jing was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then flew into a rage and shouted, "You're playing me? You're asking for it!"

At this moment, he was no longer going to waste words with Qi Zhe. His aura surged, and he stretched out a large hand, which covered dozens of mountain ranges with a flip of his palm, casting shadows across the land.

"boom!!!"

Han Jing's overwhelming power even affected the surrounding void, and the ripple-like fluctuations severed mountains and rivers, making it terrifying beyond measure.

The Yao Guang disciples who arrived one after another were astonished by Han Jing's display of power, exclaiming, "Even my master is far inferior to Elder Han!"

The masters of this group were all Supreme Elders of the Yao Guang Sect. The stronger ones had the cultivation of Great Power, while the weaker ones were only half-step Great Power. They were indeed no match for Han Jing, who was at the peak of his power.

"Let's see if this kid will still run away now."

"There's no need to even look, he's dead!"

With these words, the Yao Guang disciples looked relaxed, feeling that they could finally end their journey and that taking down Qi Zhe was just around the corner.

In fact, there was a powerful figure present, but Qi Zhe, who was at the Dao Palace realm, had no way to escape and would certainly die if he fell into the hands of the other party.

But after all the hardships he went through to return here, the moment he saw Han Jing appear, he didn't run away. Anyone would know that something was wrong, and Han Jing naturally knew it too.

So although this palm strike looked incredibly powerful, Han Jing actually didn't use any force at all, as he was constantly on guard against potential variables.

"Cough cough."

Han Jing's worries came true the moment he struck. With a faint cough, a golden light suddenly flew out from the Taoist temple, radiating an astonishing sword intent, and shattered the giant palm in an instant.

"boom!"

The massive explosion turned mountain ridges into dust. Han Jing withdrew his blood-soaked hand, his face filled with shock and anger, and shouted, "It was a trap! Come out here!"

He was genuinely shocked. The other party was indeed related to Qi Zhe, and his cultivation was extraordinary. With just one sword strike, he injured Qi Zhe's hand. If he hadn't pulled back quickly, his entire arm would have been shattered.

"Cough cough. Getting old, huh?" The old cultivator's ghostly figure suddenly appeared beside Qi Zhe, then pulled him back into the Taoist temple.

He was indeed much worse than before; his thin body was somewhat hunched, and in just over half a year he had aged to an extreme degree, far from the robust figure Qi Zhe had when he left.

At this moment, he looked at Qi Zhe and whispered, "Consider yourself lucky, kid. If you had come back three days later, I wouldn't have been able to save you."

The old monk smiled, seemingly teasing Qi Zhe for his consistently good luck, showing no signs of despondency or pessimism before his impending death.

Qi Zhe was indeed somewhat shocked by the old cultivator's appearance and sighed, "My luck has always been pretty good, but your luck is not so good. You ran into me." "Haha." The old cultivator chuckled softly upon hearing this, ignoring the apology in Qi Zhe's words, and turned to look at the group of Yao Guang disciples outside the Taoist temple, who suddenly rushed out.

"You...you...you!!!" Han Jing exclaimed in horror as he looked at the old cultivator, "It's you! You're still alive and well!"

The old cultivator returned to the Yao Guang Holy Land a thousand years ago. At that time, the Yao Guang Holy Lord was already a member of the Ruthless Man's lineage, and even many of the Supreme Elders had been replaced. This caused a great disturbance in Yao Guang.

However, the Ruthless lineage is indeed extraordinary. They have many ancient beings lurking within the Yao Guang, and have long since taken control of everything. They even replaced the Holy Lord, making them extremely powerful.

Even the old cultivators could only flee in despair during that battle, unable to contend with the many ancient artifacts and the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron. Its reappearance today left Han Jing stunned on the spot.

"Haha, I was able to prolong my life with a precious medicine back then, otherwise I would have died four hundred years ago. Today I don't have many days left to live, so I might as well kill you all and leave only your worthless holy son!"

The old cultivator exuded murderous intent. Although his withered body was no longer what it used to be, his cultivation of over 4,800 years was genuine. If he went berserk, he could kill at least a dozen powerful figures.

"you dare?!!"

Han Jing was shocked and furious. He knew that the other party was a former prodigy of the Yao Guang Holy Land. If he had not been defeated by Jiang Taixu, he might have become the Holy Lord.

Having lived for over four thousand years, he was now a cultivator of a different realm, and couldn't help but feel a desire to retreat.

"laugh!"

The old cultivator did not respond to Han Jing's words, confident that the sword in his hand could speak for him. He directly unleashed a shocking sword aura, instantly tearing apart an entire mountain range.

The mountain range was cleaved in two, the very air was torn apart by the sword, and the clear sky was instantly filled with rolling dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

The Yao Guang disciples in the distance stared in disbelief, exclaiming, "What realm is this cultivator at?!"

Han Jing panicked when faced with this earth-shattering sword strike. Knowing he was no match for the old cultivator, he turned and fled. But little did he know that the old cultivator had already arrived in mid-air and beheaded him with a single, close-range sword strike.

"How is this possible?!" Han Jing's head cried out in shock, and then he prepared to leave his body and escape.

"Alas, I'm getting old. To kill a cultivator at the second level of cultivation, I still have to use another sword." The old cultivator sighed and delivered another sword strike in mid-air, turning Han Jing's head into ashes in one blow.

With a "poof," the headless corpse sprayed blood that splattered across the mountains and rivers before falling to the ground, leaving the disciples of Yaoguang ashen-faced and scattering in all directions.

"Elder Han is dead! Run back to Yaoguang and report!" someone in the crowd cried out in fear.

If a powerful figure was defeated in three moves, how could they, a group of minor cultivators from the Dao Palace and the Four Extremes Secret Realm, possibly stand a chance? Whether they survive or not is now entirely up to fate.

The old cultivator looked at the Yao Guang disciples who were scattering and fleeing, and sighed, "Run away, everyone. Who knows where the demon's lair is?"

He ultimately did not make a move, letting the Yao Guang disciples scatter and flee. Then he rushed back to the Taoist temple and saw Qi Zhe who had just come out.

"So fast?" Qi Zhe looked at the distant mountains and corpses, and couldn't help but be surprised that the old cultivator was indeed quite fierce, killing a powerful expert in an instant.

The old cultivator shook his head upon hearing this, then said, "I heard what you said earlier, but unfortunately that place is already impossible to clear. If there's a future, let's build another one."

Qi Zhe was taken aback upon hearing this, and said in astonishment, "This is too much for me. I only said to clear it out, I didn't say to rebuild it."
