"Stop?"
"Stop my ass!"
Hu Laoda cursed and immediately changed direction, trying to flee.
Within that cloud of blood mist, the sword lights filling the sky abruptly converged into a blood-colored Sword Pellet.
The Sword Pellet trembled lightly!
Then it burst forth at extreme speed, chasing after him like a meteor biting at his tail.
It was simply too fast—far beyond what an ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivator could evade.
Hu Laoda's heart quivered violently as he summoned his flying sword to intercept it.

His pupils filled with something that blotted out
