The sword light carried an endless sharpness, shooting towards Song Fei at a nearly incomprehensible speed, like a bolt of lightning.

Song Fei's eyes widened in terror, clearly reflecting the terrifying sword light approaching with grandeur.

However, at this moment, he felt as if his body was nailed to the spot, unable to make any evasive reaction.

Thud!

With a dull thud, the blinding sword light instantly pierced through the thick black aura enveloping him, as if in a no-man's land, flashing past his body.

By the time Song Fei reacted, he realized with shock that his chest was slightly aching, and a warm liquid began to seep out.

Initially, the blood only seeped out bit by bit, but in the blink of an eye, the speed of the blood overflow suddenly increased.

Moments later, the blood gushed out like a flood breaking through a dam, even mixed with shattered internal organs, continuously spurting from his chest.

The bright red blood quickly dyed his originally black robe into a shocking dark red.

Song Fei struggled to lower his head, his gaze slowly falling onto his own chest, and only then did he notice a terrifying sword scar that pierced through front and back.

"Sword light...!"

Song Fei's lips slightly parted, trying to say something.

But a large amount of blood surged up like a tidal wave, instantly blocking his throat, making it impossible for him to make any sound.

At this moment, his internal organs had already been crushed to pieces by the fierce sword light.

If it weren't for the extraordinary vitality of a Golden Core Cultivator, an ordinary Qi Cultivator would have already died on the spot.

"Cough!"

Song Fei suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs.

As this mouthful of blood spurted out, his lifeforce quickly dissipated like a candle in the wind, no longer able to maintain the Escape Light flight.

His body, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted straight from the high sky and finally crashed heavily to the ground.

Raising a cloud of dust all around, and when the dust gradually settled, Song Fei lay on the ground, lifeless.

Xu Ping hovered quietly in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the now tattered corpse of Song Fei on the ground, and a faint smile of satisfaction slowly spread across his lips.

"Revenge fulfilled!"

This person had plotted against him multiple times, and today he finally succeeded in slaying him.

This also meant the complete eradication of a major hidden threat lurking in the shadows and could erupt at any time.

At the same time, Xu Ping now had a fairly clear understanding of his current strength.

Even without using the sword light like a rainbow, he should still be able to overpower an ordinary Early-Stage Golden Core Cultivator.

If he fully exerted himself, killing an Early-Stage Golden Core Cultivator was not considered difficult.

However, compared to the Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivators, he should still be lacking somewhat.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Ping controlled the Escape Light to slowly approach Song Fei's side.

He extended his Divine Sense, carefully searching all around, completely stripping Song Fei of everything useful.

After finishing the plundering, Xu Ping flicked his finger, and a fireball instantly reduced Song Fei's body to ashes.

Having done all this, Xu Ping carefully cleaned up the scene.

Ensuring that no trace of his whereabouts could be discovered, he once again took to the Escape Light, sped off into the distance, and soon disappeared into the vast sky.

...

...

Meanwhile.

Zhou Tianle, who had been knocked unconscious by Song Fei's sudden attack, slowly regained consciousness at this time.

Thanks to Xu Ping's deliberate control, the aftermath of the previous fierce battle did not affect him.

As he just regained awareness, Zhou Tianle's mind was momentarily blank and confused.

But immediately, waves of acute pain surged from his body like a tide, snapping him awake instantly.

"A Golden Core Cultivator!!"

Zhou Tianle's face instantly turned pale, and he exclaimed in surprise.

He hurriedly extended his Divine Sense like a fine thread, cautiously scanning the surroundings.

In front of him was a scene of devastation:

The ground was riddled with huge craters, as if some terrifying force had rampaged through;

Towering trees were uprooted and chaotically sprawled on the ground, a dismal mess.

"Golden Core battle?"

Zhou Tianle's expression instantly turned uncertain.

This tragic scene before him was clearly caused by the aftermath of a battle.

And only the intense conflict between Golden Core cultivators could possess such terrifying destructive power.

Afterwards, Zhou Tianle didn't waste any time thinking and hurriedly checked his physical condition in detail.

Upon inspection, to his relief, his Storage Ring remained intact on his finger, and it seemed nothing inside had been lost.

As for his injuries, they were only from the initial surprise attack by that Golden Core cultivator.

"What is going on here?"

Zhou Tianle furrowed his brow tightly, resembling a twisted rope.

He racked his brains, repeatedly pondering in his mind, yet he still couldn't find any explanation for all this.

A Golden Core cultivator ambushing him was already bewildering enough.

But now, another Golden Core cultivator inexplicably appeared, and the two engaged in a fierce battle at this location.

And he, being in the thick of it, miraculously suffered no additional effects?

All this was far too bizarre to believe.

"Whew!"

Zhou Tianle took a deep breath, striving to calm himself down and forcefully suppress the chaotic panic in his heart.
