The middle-aged man flew at great speed, but Shi Yue stayed hot on his heels.
After the time it took an incense stick to burn, the two of them arrived above an endless stretch of sea. The middle-aged man abruptly stopped and stared coldly at Shi Yue.
There was no one else here. In his view, killing Shi Yue, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, would be as easy as lifting a finger and wouldn't take long.

The Elk Beast let out a strange roar and turned into a streak of yellow light, charging at the middle-aged man.

The instant the green needles touched the yellow radiance, they turned to stone and plummeted from the sky.
