Tian Chengye's eyes widened as he saw the two horses turn their heads, and he became alert.

He didn't take a second-tier early-stage Demon Beast seriously.

But he also knew that these two horses were truly capable. Otherwise, how could one man and two horses have wiped out the entire Wang Household?

He dared not be careless, so he reached out and took out a second-tier defensive talisman, the Profound Water Body-Protecting Talisman, and slapped it onto his body.

In a flash of inspiration, a curtain of water materialized out of thin air, transforming into a water shield that protected him.

He originally intended to first establish a solid defense before launching a counterattack.

Treading Snow saw the water shield, she was amused.

A water-based shield? That's suicide.

Her unicorn horn shone with a brilliant white light, Icebound for a Thousand Li as it pressed down on Tian Chengye.

The cold air struck the water shield, and the water curtain froze instantly, freezing both the shield and the person completely.

Tian Chengye felt his hands and feet suddenly become heavy, and his movements immediately slowed down.

He was only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and the power of his Treading Snow attack was at most enough to freeze Qi Refinement Realm cultivator to death.

He gritted his teeth, unleashed a burst of Spiritual Power, and tried to break free of the ice.

Just then, Little Black's lightning struck.

She had been waiting for Treading Snow to make the first move, when suddenly a flash of dark light appeared on her horn, and a bolt of lightning struck down.

Ice and water are both conductors of electricity. The lightning, flowing along the frozen water shield, poured entirely into Tian Chengye's body without wasting a single drop.

Tian Chengye felt a sudden numbness throughout his body, as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. He quickly used his internal energy to suppress the surging electric current.

His expression changed then.

Before he could recover, a silver-white talismanic light was already in front of him.

Shen Jingchuan made his move.

He activated the second-tier, high-grade Geng Metal Mountain-Slaying Talisman from a distance, and its light, like a silver streak, shot straight towards Tian Chengye.

Despair was evident in Tian Chengye's eyes.

This is a high-grade second-tier attack talisman! It's too fast. He tried to dodge, but he was frozen and paralyzed by lightning. There was no time to react.

The silver light exploded and hit him squarely.

Tian Chengye, along with the ice, plummeted from mid-air and crashed into the ground with a "boom," his body billowing black smoke before falling silent.

Shen Jingchuan turned and shouted at the two horses.

"You two, go deal with those two behind you!"

"I'll go down and check on this old man."

Little Black and Treading Snow responded and flapped their wings to greet Tian Zheng and Tian Ming who were chasing after them.

The two Qi Refining Great Perfection were rushing forward when they saw the Fifth Elder being knocked to the ground, and their souls nearly left their bodies.

The two turned and ran.

But their speed on swords was nowhere near that of a Pegasus.

Little Black and Treading Snow caught up from the left and right, their unicorns flashing with lightning as they rammed and slashed at each other.

The two had no chance to fight back; they were beaten until their bodies were smoking, and they fell to the ground one after the other, lifeless.

The two Pegasus horses now work together seamlessly, and are even better than before.

If they were to face Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator alone, they might not be able to defeat them. However, when the two horses cooperate, one using ice and the other lightning, with mutual support, they can easily win against Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

As for cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm, they are completely outmatched; no matter how many there are, they are no match for them.

Shen Jingchuan didn't rush to land.

Tian Chengye lay motionless at the bottom of the pit.

He was still uneasy. After all, the other party was Foundation Establishment cultivator; who knew if they were just faking death?

He hovered in mid-air in the distance, releasing the Five Elements Heaven and Earth Ring, and the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Linked Formation was immediately deployed.

He didn't dare get close. From a distance, he activated the five rings, intending to smash them first as a sign of respect, and then deal with the consequences.

Tian Chengye at the bottom of the pit was indeed alive.

Despite his experience, he was still clinging to life even after being struck down by the Geng Metal Mountain-Slaying Talisman, looking miserable.

He closed his eyes, secretly circulating his internal energy to heal his injuries while quietly accumulating Spiritual Power, waiting for Shen Jingchuan to come down.

In his calculations, as long as he risked serious injury and delivered a full-force blow, he could kill the person with a single palm strike.

With its master dead, the spirit beast was naturally injured, and the two flying horses were no longer a threat.

Little did he know that the two Demon Beasts had signed Equal Contract, meaning they would not turn against each other even if their master died.

However, that's no longer important.

Tian Chengye concentrated all his remaining Spiritual Power in his palm and focused it all on the attack, while his other hand held a talisman.

He planned to wait until Shen Jingchuan rushed close, then take advantage of his underestimation of his opponent to deliver a fatal blow.

After waiting for a long time, Shen Jingchuan still hadn't shown up.

Five beams of colorful light arrived in mid-air.

Tian Chengye opened his eyes and his heart skipped a beat.

That kid didn't even come down; instead, he attacked from a great distance, manipulating his Law Artifact.

His plan to launch a sneak attack failed. Damn it, young man, you have no sportsmanship.

Five colorful Heaven and Earth Rings chased each other, one after the other, moving as fast as lightning.

The five elements generate each other, forming a continuous cycle, mutually supporting each other, and spinning faster and faster.

Five colors of light intertwined and flowed, illuminating the sky; it was a beautiful sight.

Tian Chengye had no choice but to hastily change his tactics, channeling his Spiritual Power towards defense.

He was finally at his last gasp.

He was severely injured by the Geng Metal Mountain-Slaying Talisman, and could barely breathe. At this moment, his Spiritual Power was not even as strong as that of Qi Refining Late Stage.

The first ring came hurtling towards him, and he barely managed to block it.

The second, the third, and the fourth came right after him, and he could no longer hold his own.

A gold ring slammed heavily into his chest.

His sternum shattered with a crack, and Tian Chengye let out a muffled groan as all his strength dissipated.

The golden rings spun out, then bounced back, striking him a dozen times in total.

He lay paralyzed at the bottom of the crater created by the Heaven and Earth Ring, completely lifeless.

Even as he breathed his last, he still clutched an unactivated attack talisman in his palm.

Shen Jingchuan hovered in mid-air and looked at it carefully again.

Tian Chengye's head was bleeding, and he remained motionless.

He released his Divine Sense and probed the old man's body.

The aura was gone; not even a trace of Spiritual Power remained.

Shen Jingchuan finally felt relieved. These Foundation Establishment cultivators were truly difficult to kill. He then descended.

He searched Tian Chengye thoroughly, then raised his hand and cast a Fireball Technique.

With a flicker of fire, the corpse turned to ashes.

He was about to get up to find the two horses when Little Black flapped its wings and landed first.

"Master, we've already dealt with those two. Treading Snow is watching over there."

Shen Jingchuan leaped up and landed on Little Black's back, patting her neck.

"Come on, baby, let's go take a look."

Little Black responded, flapped its wings, and moved as fast as a black lightning bolt, arriving above the two corpses in the blink of an eye.

Shen Jingchuan leaped off his horse, landed, quickly searched the area, took the valuables, and burned them.

He climbed onto Little Black's back.

Treading Snow nearby, was unhappy and came over.

"Master, Master, I'll carry you."

Shen Jingchuan indulged her, so he jumped onto Treading Snow's back and reached out to stroke her mane.

"Alright, alright, Little Snow, you're arguing about this too."

He coaxed her affectionately for a couple of minutes, then gave her instructions.

"Let's go up the mountain and see the Spirit Stones they dug up."

Joyfully Treading Snow, it flapped its wings and flew up the mountain, with Little Black pouting beside it.

When they arrived at the row of houses, the Spirit Stones they had dug up earlier were still there, piled up in one room, and another room next door was also half full.

With a wave of his hand, Shen Jingchuan collected all the large pieces of spirit ore into the light sphere in mid-air.

That saves trouble; there's no need for cutting or polishing. Just feed it directly to the Ring and let it absorb it slowly.

He didn't bother to check how the space was changing, letting the sphere of light do its thing.
