On the path to immortality, I can see destiny.

As the two rushed over, Su San and the old man exchanged a glance, both seeing despair in each other's eyes.

Su San quickly considered the matter in his mind and then spoke to the old man.

"Let's fight that big man together! This is our only chance!"

Upon hearing this, the old man quickly realized what was happening, nodded immediately, and then took out the golden longbow, charged it up, and shot it at the big man.

Su San immediately made a hand seal, and two streams of light flew out, transforming into two flying swords that headed straight for the big man.

At the same time, green light emanated from Su San's body, enveloping her arms.

As the light gradually faded, green vines appeared on his arms. These vines took root on his arms and, as if they were alive, moved around his body, quickly forming a set of vine armor.

In the distance, the flying swords were already upon him. The burly man did not take them head-on; he simply flipped over and dodged both swords.

He then suddenly accelerated, transforming into a blood-red shadow as he rushed towards the two, his speed even faster than the flying sword from before.

As the burly man approached, Su San pressed her hands to the ground, and instantly more than a dozen vines shot up from the sky and ground in the distance, weaving into a messy net that covered the burly man.

The burly man raised his hand and threw a punch, a blood-red fist imprint flying out and instantly shattering the vines.

The next moment, a golden arrow flew straight at him.

The burly man knew that the old man's magical weapon was quite powerful, but the old man's timing was excellent, leaving him with no way to escape and forcing him to take the blow head-on.

Just as the attack was about to hit the big man, the evil spirit on his body suddenly left his body and transformed into a black light, flying away in an instant.

The black light was extremely powerful; in the blink of an eye, it shattered the arrow, then circled in the air before returning to the burly man's body.

The burly man's body did not pause at all; he passed through the vines and was less than ten feet away from Su San.

Seeing that her attack was completely ineffective, Su San immediately raised her hands, and the dozen or so vines on her arms scattered.

With vigorous growth, red flower buds unfurled, revealing sharp thorns within.

Then, countless thorns shot out, heading straight for the big man's face.

The burly man stretched out his right hand, and crimson spiritual energy gathered into a barrier in front of him, blocking the barrage of thorns.

Thorns struck the barrier, leaving only faint ripples, completely unable to penetrate it.

However, this did manage to temporarily halt the Han army's advance.

On the other side, Zhang Tie saw the two of them attacking the big man at the same time, so he stopped what he was doing and watched from the side.

If he could, he would naturally not want to share the Foundation Establishment spiritual treasure with the big man. Now that the two of them were attacking at the same time, if he had the chance, he could kill the big man first.

The big man could see through Zhang Tie's thoughts, but he didn't care. Two cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining couldn't possibly be his match.

Even if Zhang Tie had his own agenda, he couldn't cause any trouble in the face of absolute power.

At this moment, Zhao Fan was watching the battle in the distance, and a sense of anxiety arose in his heart.

He never expected that Su San would also come here.

At this moment, he wanted to help Su San, but he had no way to do so.

Compared to the four people present, he was a piece of trash. Even if he made a move, it wouldn't help Su San at all, and he might even become Zhang Tie's target.

All he could do now was pray for Su San in his heart, hoping that she would be safe and sound.

Just then, Zhao Fan saw that the huge vortex in the sky finally started to move.

The mixed air currents within the vortex were converging towards the central pool in wisps, their speed increasing rapidly.

Within a few breaths, most of the air currents disappeared, flowing entirely into the pool.

At the same time, the surrounding Blood Refining Array also started operating rapidly, and streams of blood energy were gradually drawn out from the four people and flowed into the very center of the array.

Zhao Fan was shocked to see his vital energy being drained. He immediately circulated his spiritual energy to seal off his entire body and prevent his vital energy from leaving his body.

But it's not that easy. Even the big man couldn't control his blood and qi from leaking out.

"What's going on?"

The burly man turned around in surprise, looked at Zhang Tie, and asked a question.

Zhang Tie's brows were furrowed, his expression gloomy, and he stared intently at the pool. He didn't speak, but he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This blood coral matured ahead of schedule!

He set up a blood refining array, which would only be forcibly activated when the blood coral matured, absorbing the power of blood and qi to nourish it.

Because blood coral needs to be nourished with a large amount of blood energy when it matures in order to produce blood coral essence.

If the blood and energy are insufficient, it will only become an ordinary thousand-year-old blood coral.

Although equally valuable, it pales in comparison to the Blood Coral Essence.

At this moment, the Blood Refining Array began to forcibly absorb the power of blood and qi, catching him somewhat off guard.

Because the amount of vital energy emanating from his body was significantly greater than that of others.

Because the Blood Demon Curse he cultivated relied on the outward release of his blood and qi to form this layer of blood barrier on his body.

At this moment, his killing move actually caused him great harm, making it easier for the Blood Refining Array to extract his blood and qi.

"Kill them quickly! Otherwise, we won't have enough vital energy for the Blood Coral to form Blood Coral Essence!"

Zhang Tie did not answer the big man's question, but instead roared and took the initiative to attack.

It was only then that he realized there was another person present.

Because the blood and qi absorbed by the Blood Refining Array actually numbered five!

He followed the trail of qi and blood, finally fixing his gaze on a tree in the distance.

At this point, he had no time to care about the suddenly appearing people. The most important thing now was to kill the two cultivators as soon as possible to gather enough blood and qi for the Blood Coral.

Otherwise, he would probably be the one who suffers the biggest loss.

This time, the big man actually stood by and watched.

He could naturally see that the blood and qi energy extracted from Zhang Tie by the Blood Refining Array was the most concentrated.

He was naturally happy to watch the show.

As long as Zhang Tie survives and can obtain the Blood Coral Essence, that's all that matters. As for helping him, the Great Han has no intention whatsoever.

Su San and the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhang Tie was also difficult to deal with, he was much easier than the big man.

Moreover, he is now clearly weakened. All they need to do is defend and let the Blood Refining Array keep draining his life force.

Zhang Tie was facing two cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he couldn't defeat them for the time being. Although his demonic arts were extremely strange, the two were on guard and it was difficult for them to make a move.

Left with no other option, he had to seek help from the big man.

"Fellow Daoist, if we don't take action soon, I'm afraid I'll have to shut down the Blood Refining Array for my own safety."

"If the Blood Coral Spirit Marrow doesn't have enough vital energy, it probably won't be able to form."

Zhang Tie's threat was indeed effective. Although the big man was displeased, he had no choice but to take action for the sake of the Blood Coral Essence.
