The might of Foundation Establishment!

"Attack him together! He's badly injured and won't last much longer!" someone shouted, and several figures darted out from different hiding places.

Various Law Technique and Law Artifact, radiating dazzling light, rained down on the seemingly ordinary mountain wall.

Boom!

Boom!

Violent explosions rang out one after another.

Wu Yushan's crude illusion only lasted a few breaths before shattering like a bubble, revealing the dark entrance to the cave behind it.

Inside the cave, Wu Yushan's face was ashen, and his eyes were blazing with murderous intent.

He never imagined that he would end up being besieged by a bunch of Qi Refining Middle Stage weaklings!

"Court death!"

He forcefully drew up a mouthful of True Essence, and despite the excruciating pain in his Purple Mansion and the feeling of his meridians being cut, he still quickly formed several Method Formula and made a faint sweeping motion towards the cave entrance.

[Yin Baleful Intent Soul-Severing Finger]!

A condensed, almost tangible, gray-black finger beam shot out silently and with astonishing speed.

The first Rogue Cultivator charging ahead had just activated his defensive magic Law Artifact, its spiritual light beginning to glow.

The finger beam pierced through him like a hole in a window, followed by the space between his eyebrows.

The greed on the Rogue Cultivator's face froze instantly, his eyes glazed over, and his body slumped to the ground, his life force completely extinguished by the Yin energy.

One-hit kill!

His profound understanding of the Qi Refining Great Perfection was fully revealed.

Even a casual strike is something that ordinary cultivators cannot withstand.

This ruthless and decisive move immediately sent a chill down the spines of the attackers outside, causing their offensive to stall.

Taking advantage of the moment, Wu Yushan moved swiftly, appearing like a ghost in the shadows at the cave entrance.

He cannot be trapped in the cave; that would be like a turtle in a jar.

He needs space, he needs deterrence!

He stood there, his figure still seemingly tall, his body exuding a chilling, oppressive aura befitting someone at the Qi Refining Great Perfection.

He deliberately suppressed the churning Qi and Blood and qi within his body and the excruciating pain.

They were trying to create the illusion that "even though I'm injured, killing you is still a piece of cake."

"Get out if you don't want to die!" His voice was hoarse, yet carried an undeniable authority.

However, the lure of profit is enough to make people take risks.

Moreover, when he made his move just now, there was a trace of disorder in his aura that could not be completely concealed, and although the power of his finger beam was strong, there were faint signs that it was lacking in staying power.

This was all observed by some shrewd and experienced people.

"He's really badly injured! He's just putting on a brave face! Don't be scared by him!" A shrill voice rang out from the crowd, stirring up the atmosphere once again.

"Kill him! We'll split all the treasures on him!"

More Law Technique and Law Artifact artifacts lit up; this time, the attacks were more concentrated and more cunning.

Some people used flying swords to strike vital points, some released poisonous mist to corrode the rock walls, and some used earth Law Technique to try to break through from underground. Wu Yushan was furious, but he had no choice but to urge his True Essence to deal with it again.

With a flick of his sleeve, a small black bone shield flew out, growing larger as it went, blocking most of the physical and energy attacks.

The magical runes on the bone shield shimmered, clearly indicating its extraordinary quality.

This is another protective Law Artifact he possesses besides the Five Yin Bag.

At the same time, his footwork changed, and his Movement Method remained unpredictable and elusive.

They always managed to evade fatal sneak attacks at the last second.

Occasionally, it retaliates, releasing silent, ghostly spells that can easily take one or two lives.

His combat experience and endless tricks truly lived up to his status Qi Refining Great Perfection.

Every seemingly casual dodge or counterattack contains years of hard-won experience and insights gained from battles.

But all of this came at the cost of worsening his injuries!

"Puff"

After forcibly activating his bone shield and withstanding three powerful Sword Qi strikes, Wu Yushan finally couldn't hold back any longer and spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.

The blood dripped onto the ground and made a "sizzling" sound.

A faint black demonic aura swirled around it.

His face instantly turned even paler, and his breathing noticeably weakened.

"He's done for! He's coughing up blood!" The attackers, as if injected with adrenaline, intensified their offensive.

Wu Yushan's eyes were sinister, and he felt extremely frustrated.

In his prime, he could wipe out these small fry with a flick of his wrist!

Why did it have to come to this?!

He also possesses even more powerful methods, such as a secret technique capable of devouring the Essence Blood of living beings on a large scale, or several extremely powerful Yin Thunderbolts—

However, these either require a large amount of primordial True Essence or will cause violent fluctuations in Dao intent.

Either way, it would completely detonate the terrifying demonic energy that Situ Huaji had left in his body.

The consequences would be unimaginable!

At this moment, he was like someone guarding the key to a treasure trove, yet suffering from a serious illness.

They have the means, but dare not use them all.

Just then, a Evil Cultivator skilled in Divine Soul attacks silently unleashed a [Soul-Capturing Bell] that emitted a seductive sound.

The crisp sound of the bell wasn't loud, yet it was like a demonic sound piercing the ears and penetrating straight into the Sea of Consciousness!

Wu Yushan's Divine Soul was already damaged.

At that moment, struck by the Soul-Capturing Bell, he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he were being pricked by needles.

My vision went black for a moment, and I stumbled.

And just as his Divine Soul was struck, and a tiny gap appeared in his defenses...

A sudden change has occurred!

The domineering intent belonging to Situ Huaji that had been dormant like a dead flame within the cracks of his Purple Mansion was "awakened" by this external Divine Soul attack.

"Buzz!"

A violent, deathly aura, filled with a destructive will, uncontrollably emanated from Wu Yushan's body.

Wu Yushan groaned, and an unnatural black aura instantly rose to his face.

He hurriedly forced himself to circulate his internal Cultivation Method, barely managing to suppress the burgeoning domineering intent once again.

But the price was another mouthful of blood, and his breath grew increasingly weak.

On the distant mountaintop, Qi Yun, who had been calmly observing the battle through Thousand Cranes, had a glint in his eyes.

"Really--"

They clearly captured that fleeting, familiar yet terrifying fluctuation of demonic energy.

"The power left behind by Situ Huaji is still within his body."

Moreover—it seems to be particularly sensitive to external Divine Soul stimuli?

Qi Yun stroked his chin, his smile growing even deeper.

This was truly an unexpected discovery.

On the field, Wu Yushan's situation became increasingly dire.

He dared not reveal all his cards, and his injuries continued to worsen.

Situ Huaji ambition was like a time bomb.

Meanwhile, the surrounding "hyenas" became even more frenzied as they saw more and more signs of his weakness.

His body trembled slightly, and he coughed up another mouthful of dark red, almost black, stagnant blood, which splattered on the ground in front of him, leaving a glaring mark.

Wu Yushan's chilling aura was like a flickering candle in the wind, its light dim and uncertain.

The brilliance on that black bone shield Law Artifact had also dimmed considerably.

Even a few tiny cracks appeared.

Upon seeing this, the greed and madness in the eyes of the besieging cultivators were almost overflowing.

"He can't hold on much longer!"

Kill him! Seize his Creation!

"A treasure trove of Qi Refining Great Perfection artifacts is right before your eyes!"

Driven by the greater benefits, the remaining dozen or so cultivators, like sharks smelling blood, charged forward with even greater ferocity.

Flying swords, poisonous banners, sinister thunder, and bewitching demonic sounds—various methods intertwined to form a vast net, sealing off all of Wu Yushan's escape routes.

They no longer spared their magical Law Power, nor did they care about casualties.

Their only wish was to devour this heavily wounded "giant" as quickly as possible.

Too many ants can kill an elephant!

Moreover, among these "ants" are quite a few experts at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining.

Wu Yushan slapped away a raging flame that was heading towards his face, extinguished a bone-corroding ghost with a flick of his finger, and dodged the long sword that pierced out from the ground in a disheveled manner.

His movements were no longer as smooth and fluid as they had been at the beginning.

Each time he activated his True Essence, a tearing pain shot through the enormous void in his Purple Mansion.

The Situ Huaji was stirring restlessly, ready to erupt completely at any moment and devour him.

Dead end!

A real dead end!

Thinking of Wu Yushan, who roamed the Northwest for over a century.

Holding power over one side of the Yellow Springs Netherworld.

Who would have thought he would perish in such a desolate place, killed by a group of nameless soldiers?

Unwilling to accept this!

Vengeful!

There was also a trace of overwhelming hatred towards Situ Huaji and the mastermind behind it all.

"You forced me to do this—" He lowered his head, his hoarse voice carrying a chilling calm.

Just as countless attacks were about to strike, Wu Yushan suddenly raised his head.

Those pupils, which had been somewhat unfocused due to weakness, now burned with an almost insane ruthlessness.

Instead of suppressing his injuries, he frantically activated all the remaining essence within his body.

With hands moving at a speed beyond the reach of the naked eye, he formed an ancient, eerie, and ominous Law Seals in front of his chest!

At the same time, a difficult and obscure incantation was rapidly uttered from his mouth.

The incantation wasn't loud, yet it seemed to resonate directly deep within everyone's soul, carrying a sense of sacrificial sorrow and madness!

Boom!!!

An indescribable, terrifying aura, far exceeding the Qi Refining level, suddenly erupted from Wu Yushan's withered body!

At that moment, his figure seemed to instantly become towering and majestic.

The aura surrounding him was no longer a cold, Sha Qi, but a hazy, ancient, majestic, and indifferent radiance.

His aura surged, instantly breaking through his original limits and reaching a majestic height that made the souls of all the cultivators present tremble.

Wu Yushan slowly raised his eyes.

Those pupils had turned into a pure, emotionless gray.

Just a glance swept over him, and thud!

Thump!

As if crushed by an invisible divine mountain, all the cultivators who were charging forward, regardless of their cultivation level, froze in their tracks.

The frenzied expressions on their faces froze, then transformed into extreme fear and disbelief, as if they had witnessed something beyond their comprehension.

An immense, irresistible force pressed down, pinning them to the spot so they couldn't move even a finger.

That's an absolute difference in the level of life.

Looking expressionlessly at these suppressed ants, Wu Yushan regarded them as mere dust.

He hummed softly, almost imperceptibly.

"Snort."

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling Law Technique light.

But an invisible and intangible power, yet containing the purest Dao intent, spread out silently from him like ripples on water, instantly sweeping across an area of ten miles in radius!

This power ignored the body's defenses and the protective magical Law Artifact.

It acts directly on the most essential aspect of the Divine Soul!

In an instant.

The wind stopped, and the sound faded away.

Those cultivators who had been ferocious and filled with murderous intent just a moment ago suddenly lost their sparkle, their eyes dimming and going out like candle flames blown out by the wind.

Their bodies remained in the posture of lunging forward or casting spells, but they were devoid of any life, like a frozen scroll of time.

Divine Soul and spirit annihilated!

Life cut off!

Within a ten-mile radius, apart from Wu Yushan himself, there was not a single living creature.

Silence, a deathly silence, enveloped the battlefield that had just been bustling with noise.

After doing all this, the imposing aura surrounding Wu Yushan receded rapidly like a tide.

The unnatural ashen look on his face spread rapidly.

He looked as if he had aged a hundred years, his breath as faint as a dying lamp about to go out.

It was even worse than when he was seriously injured before.

"Pfft!" Unable to hold back, Wu Yushan spat out a mouthful of black blood, his body swayed violently, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Dozens of miles away.

The Thousand Cranes arranged in the mountain valley were all destroyed with Wu Yushan's soft hum, but the scene at the last moment was still transmitted back.

Qi Yun's expression was solemn as he stared at the incredibly familiar aura in his mind, and he hesitated before saying:

"That's... the power of Foundation Establishment True Person?"
