Upon hearing this, Han Qianfeng couldn’t sit still. He didn’t expect this Hong San little brat to be so ruthless, not even sparing him!

Knowing a person’s face, but not their heart!

"Friend, this kid has gone mad. You and I should work together to leave, how about that? If we can’t join forces, it’s likely you’ll never escape this formation alone!" Han Qianfeng anxiously persuaded Li Mu.

Li Mu gave the other a cold look without speaking. This person was ambiguous, and collaborating with them was akin to making a deal with the devil, for they were just enemies moments ago. Changing sides now could be a trap.

Ignored by Li Mu, Han Qianfeng grew even more anxious, internally cursing this Nascent Soul fellow as a madman, failing to see the situation clearly, remaining indifferent even at this juncture.

Soon after, Han Qianfeng’s body slightly trembled, a powerful aura emerged from him, overwhelming in its grandeur. Before him, concentrated Spiritual Power gathered, manifesting a Spirit Sword from his hand, its blade gleaming with icy light, as if imbued with the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, radiating dazzling brilliance.

After a brief moment, Spiritual Qi gathered on the sword, suppressing the Sword Aura, as though containing endless power.

Han Qianfeng solemnly held the Spirit Sword in his hand, aiming towards the sky, delivering a slash.

The sharp Sword Aura dispersed with chilling intent, resembling lightning, instantly tearing through the sky, releasing unnerving Sword Qi, unstoppable in its momentum.

The Crimson Realm resembled an infinite abyss, swallowing the Sword Aura completely, without a ripple.

"Failed?"

Han Qianfeng was slightly dumbfounded, not expecting his full-force strike to have no effect!

No!

At that moment, the Crimson Realm suddenly produced a violent wave of Spiritual Qi, two crimson Sword Qi appeared out of thin air, identical to the Sword Qi he had released.

The two Sword Qi surged forth like two mighty dragons, their momentum astounding.

"What’s going on, what method is this?"

Han Qianfeng stared in astonishment at the descending Sword Qi, filled with confusion and fear, unable to discern its origins, eerily similar to the Sword Qi he had unleashed.

Heavens!

This isn’t an illusion!

Han Qianfeng roared, attempting to use a Defensive Treasure to resist, but it was already too late! Those two Sword Qi, like thunderbolts, arrived instantly, shredding his body to powder, erasing even his Primordial Spirit.

Soon, Han Qianfeng’s remains were swiftly devoured by the Crimson Realm, not a trace of Spiritual Power preserved!

"This realm can duplicate attacks and even return them doubled; quite formidable!" Li Mu realized the hidden secret upon witnessing this, and unfolded a pair of Thunder Wings behind him, summoned the Sword Dragon back to guard him, vigilantly observing, refraining from an easy counterattack.

Li Mu hovered above, observing for a while, quickly discovering a flaw in the Crimson Realm, that it couldn’t actively attack anyone, only passively counter, meaning it could at most trap him.

"Hmm... It’s like a toad on a foot, annoying but not biting." With no offensive action from the opposite side, Li Mu grew more confident in his assessment, commenting on it accordingly.

Subsequently, Li Mu began strategizing how to exploit this flaw to escape this perilous situation.

Yet, at that moment, an unexpected change occurred. After devouring Han Qianfeng’s remains, the Crimson Realm coalesced into a human figure. Although lacking facial features, it bore a resemblance to Hong San, slowly advancing toward Li Mu, seemingly intending to consume him.

Li Mu was startled; he hadn’t anticipated the space absorbing the dead cultivator’s Physical Body and Spiritual Qi to form a humanoid. He immediately recognized the danger, understanding that without a quick solution, he might face the same fate.

"Li Mu, that old fool is dead; now it’s your turn. Had you attacked earlier too, perhaps I truly couldn’t have trapped you; thanks for holding back!" ’Hong San’ cackled ominously, creeping towards Li Mu.

Li Mu frowned, realizing his misjudgment, understanding now that the Crimson Realm could indeed attack, just that Hong San hadn’t been prepared earlier.

"Certainly, I miscalculated, but do you think becoming neither human nor ghost makes you a match for me?" Li Mu scoffed disdainfully, unimpressed by the transformation.

Speaking thus, Li Mu pointed at the red silhouette, and the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon roared, charging forward, snapping its massive jaws. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Yet to Li Mu’s surprise, the attack of the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon was blocked. Simultaneously, numerous tendrils appeared over the red figure, swiftly coiling around the Flood Dragon, seemingly intending to devour it.

Li Mu’s expression shifted; he swiftly swung his Spirit Sword, severing the tendrils with a flash of cold light, rescuing the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon.

Simultaneously, multiple Tier Five Thunder Talismans emerged before Li Mu, then flew towards the red silhouette.

However, in response, a red rune materialized in the figure’s hand, accompanied by a blinding flash of Spirit Light, reducing Li Mu’s Thunder Talismans to ash instantly.

Furthermore, the figure seized the opportunity to approach Li Mu.

No time to react, Li Mu suffered a blow to the chest, streams of red aura rushed madly into his body.

"Intend to devour even me? What delusions!" Li Mu discerned the opponent’s scheme, fully activating the Spirit Devouring Health Technique, counter-devouring the Crimson Qi, surprisingly effective, rapidly converting it into Spiritual Qi within Li Mu.
