Mortal: I, Zhang Tie, started by joining forces with Han Li to kill a strategist.

After flying for about an hour, just as the Black Crow was about to enter the territory of the Hidden Moon Sect, Zhang Tie's divine sense suddenly detected several rapidly approaching auras behind him.

Zhang Tie's pupils contracted slightly. Among the three auras behind him, the weakest was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and two of them had particularly strong auras, reaching the late-Foundation Establishment stage, carrying a chilling aura.

Two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators?!

Zhang Tie's heart sank.

Could it be that Tian Buque has brought reinforcements? But I haven't been able to sense his presence!

Han Li also noticed Zhang Tie's unusual expression: "Brother Tie, are they chasing us again?"

"Hmm, even more troublesome than before! There's a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!!!"

Zhang Tie's words caused Han Li's expression to change as well!

He was fairly confident in dealing with a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, but if the enemy was a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator, he feared that even if he used up all his trump cards, he wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

Thinking of this, Han Li glared at Dong Xuan'er in annoyance. She hadn't even looked at the calendar this time. He should have known better than to be soft-hearted and bring her along. She's such a big trouble!

The three of them didn't look too good.

"Three people are too conspicuous, Han Li, split up and break through, don't get bogged down!"

"Get into the territory of the Hidden Moon Sect as soon as possible. Maybe that will make them hesitate to act! After breaking through, we'll meet at the Hidden Moon Sect's market!!!" Zhang Tie gritted his teeth, and the speed of the black crows under his feet increased even more.

Han Li, who was on the Divine Wind Boat, was also aware of the seriousness of the problem. He knew that if they were caught up by a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, all three of them would probably perish here!

"Tiege, take care!" The Divine Wind Boat transformed into a streak of blue light and flew towards the southwest.

Zhang Tie patted the black crow, which let out a low cry and sped up a few more times.

Behind her, Wang Chan saw this scene and sneered inwardly: "Let's split up and chase them. The one riding the bird is the real culprit; I'll deal with him. You take some men and capture that kid from Yellow Maple Valley!"

An old man in gray robes beside him nodded and chased after Han Li, while Wang Chan led another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in pursuit of Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie sensed with his divine sense that the pursuers had split into two groups, and he felt relieved.

One late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is easier to deal with than two, but Han Li didn't receive this treatment in the original story!

However, there is still a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him, as well as Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, so it will still be a tough battle.

Xuan Ya's speed had already reached its limit, but the shuttle under Wang Chan's feet behind her seemed to be a top-level flying magic artifact, making it even faster. In less than half an hour, the escape light behind her had already approached, and the distance between the two sides was less than two miles!

"If we keep running like this, we'll be caught up sooner or later!" Zhang Tie gritted his teeth, his gaze sweeping across the mountains below, finally settling on a valley.

"This is it. If you're so capable, catch up with me, and I'll give you a big surprise!" Zhang Tie patted Xuan Ya, who swooped down and landed in the valley.

The moment Zhang Tie leaped off the crow's back, he took out nine array flags from his storage bag. The Yin-Yang Locking God Array was his greatest trump card, and he originally did not want to reveal it so quickly, but now he could not care about that anymore.

Just as the nine array flags were placed in nine different locations in the valley, two streaks of light landed at the valley entrance. When the light dissipated, two figures, an old man and a young man, were revealed. The one leading them was none other than Wang Chan, who had been chasing them all the way here!

Wang Chan wore a red and black brocade robe, his face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with cold light. The old man in black robes behind him had a withered face, and his aura made Zhang Tie feel a faint pressure. He was undoubtedly in the late stage of Foundation Establishment!

"So you're the one who chased away that good-for-nothing Tian Buque?" Wang Chan looked at Zhang Tie in the valley and spoke with a disdainful expression, seemingly looking down on Tian Buque.

Zhang Tie didn't speak, he just stared at him quietly.

However, Wang Chan was no fool. He scanned the valley with his divine sense and sensed a slight fluctuation of the formation. This made him frown slightly as he carefully examined the layout of the valley, his expression becoming serious.

"It's at least a second-tier high-grade formation. Who exactly are you? When did the Seven Sects produce such a formation master? Interesting!" Wang Chan also had some expertise in formations, so she naturally realized that the formation in front of her was not simple.

However, that's all. As the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, Wang Chan has seen all sorts of storms.

"I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and submit, become my vassal, and I might spare your life!" Wang Chan said calmly, sensing that this kid was somewhat interesting.

However, his tone made it sound like he was bestowing an immense favor upon Zhang Tie.

"Kneel down and submit? Sorry, I don't have that hobby. How about you demonstrate it for me?" Zhang Tie naturally wouldn't tolerate someone treating him like a dog to his face, even if Wang Chan in front of him was the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect!

"Fine, fine! I hope you can still be so defiant later!" Wang Chan's face darkened; it had been a long time since anyone had dared to defy him like this.

"Break this formation, capture that brat, crush his bones, and extract his soul!" Wang Chan waved her hand, and the black-robed old man behind her instantly changed, leaping directly into the formation.

A smile appeared on Zhang Tie's lips. He was just wondering how to get this late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator into the formation!

Since the other party jumped in on his own, then he shouldn't blame him for showing no mercy. If he wanted to break his bones and extract his soul, then he would first let him experience the power of the Yin-Yang Locking God Formation.

The old man in black robes paused slightly after entering the formation, but quickly regained his balance. However, he felt that the formation was somewhat strange, and his soul felt somewhat disconnected.

Knowing he couldn't give his opponent a chance to react, Zhang Tie immediately activated the formation with all his might. Within the Yin-Yang Locking God Formation, invisible divine soul blades raged. Sensing that his divine soul was sluggish and experiencing a dizzying sensation, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator finally reacted, and his expression changed drastically!

"An array to attack the soul!!!" The black-robed elder hurriedly summoned a blood-red banner, its bloody aura extremely strong. A blood-red mist surged from the banner, enveloping him within it.

Zhang Tie frowned upon seeing this. The blood-red mist seemed to be able to resist the power of the formation, but after sensing it, Zhang Tie felt relieved.

Although the crimson mist was able to resist the rampaging divine soul blades, it was being rapidly consumed. He refused to believe that the crimson mist was inexhaustible.

Wang Chan, who was outside the formation, also noticed that something was wrong. His face was filled with gloom. He had actually misjudged the situation and failed to realize that what was in front of him was a soul-type formation.

Zhang Tie didn't give the black-robed elder any time to catch his breath. With a flick of his right hand, the Azure Gang Tower flew out and smashed directly towards the blood mist in the formation.

Although the black-robed elder was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was currently focused on resisting the array power surging from all directions and had no time to attend to anything else. He could only summon a blood-red orb to block the attack of the Azure Gang Tower.

Although the Azure Gang Tower was blocked by the blood bead, the aftershocks of the Azure Gang Tower still hit the opponent, causing the black-robed old man to grunt and stagger back a few steps, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Useless!" Wang Chan cursed under her breath, and a fork-shaped magic weapon appeared in her hand, which she used to bombard the Yin-Yang Locking God Formation.

This made Zhang Tie in the formation frown. This guy really was a mad dog. However, if he was attacked so casually, he would have to mobilize some of the formation's power to defend against it, which would affect its effectiveness.

With his sword drawn, Zhang Tie charged out and slashed at Wang Chan!

At the same time, he was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and he wanted to see what tricks this young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect had up his sleeve!

Seeing Zhang Tie finally come out to fight, Wang Chan was not surprised but laughed, and directly met the Po Jun Blade with her Bi Yin Fork.

"clang!"

The knife and fork clashed, the Po Jun Dao was knocked back, and Zhang Tie's body swayed slightly.

Wang Chan, on the other side, wasn't in much better shape. She groaned, feeling a slight numbness in her hand, and looked at Zhang Tie in disbelief.

In the first move, the two were evenly matched, and neither gained an advantage.
