Xu Ping's expression changed, he stood up on guard, then operated the Bone Shaping Skill, transforming into a stranger.

In the Black Mist Mountain Range, the danger of demon beasts is only a part.

Every year, countless cultivators are not killed by demon beasts, but by their own kind.

A few breaths later.

In the light gray mist, a disheveled man flew low, black aura swirling around him, his face deathly pale unlike a human's, and his pupils dark and gloomy.

The aura around his body had reached the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment.

"Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator? Troublesome." Xu Ping's heart sank.

If it were an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he wouldn't be afraid, but a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he wasn't confident in killing.

"Senior!" Xu Ping saw him gracefully land, and saluted with clasped hands.

The disheveled man scrutinized Xu Ping, his Divine Sense sweeping over him without hesitation, a hint of a sneer at the corners of his mouth: "Interesting, a Qi Cultivator at the ninth layer can actually slay a second-stage demon ape?"

"By luck! This second-stage demon ape was already injured, so I just took advantage." Xu Ping suppressed the urge to counterstrike and nodded.

"If the senior wants this second-stage demon ape, I will present it with both hands."

Although it pained him to hand over the second-stage demon ape for nothing, if he got into conflict with this unknown Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, life or death was uncertain.

Moreover, fighting him would surely reveal all his resources, and if the opponent escaped, it would be a disaster.

"You are sensible!" The disheveled man grinned widely, his pale complexion making it look sinister, "But it's a pity you're from Yue Country, so you still have to die!"

Xu Ping suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Next life..." The disheveled man's 'life' hadn't finished before Xu Ping's eyes shone with spiritual light, glaring at him.

The disheveled man felt a chill sweep over him, his vision suddenly blacked out, but with the strength of his Divine Sense, he recovered instantly.

Boom!

As soon as he regained consciousness, a magnificent Sword Qi, accompanied by the sound of thunder, slashed at him.

"Not good! Sword Qi Thunder Sound!!" The disheveled man's face changed drastically, hurriedly deploying a Copper Umbrella Magical Artifact.

The copper umbrella spread out, emitting a bright aura, forming a protective shield in front of him.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the protective shield only lasted half a second before shattering, and the copper umbrella was slashed, creating a crack.

Spat!

The magnificent Sword Qi swept across his leg, blood spraying, a section of his leg being minced by the Sword Qi.

Fortunately, the copper umbrella blocked it for half a second, weakening the Sword Qi, or else his head would have been severed.

"Couldn't kill him!" Seeing this scene, Xu Ping's heart sank, if it were a second-stage lower grade demon beast or an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would probably be killed.

"Spiritual Sense Attack, Sword Qi Thunder Sound!" The disheveled man who had suffered this attack didn't care about the wound on his leg, staring at Xu Ping intently, saying word by word.

The person in front of him was definitely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in disguise, and definitely not an average one.

The combination of Sword Qi Thunder Sound and Spiritual Sense Attack, this level of strength might be very powerful among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Could it be that your Yue Country detected our plan, so they sent you to intercept us?" The disheveled man seemed to have thought of something, his face changed wildly, his eyes revealing a frenzied killing intent.

"What nonsense are you saying!" Xu Ping couldn't understand what he was saying, nor was he interested in listening, his eyes shining with spiritual light as he glared at him.

Obviously, the disheveled man was prepared this time.

With a flash of spiritual light on the storage ring on his hand, a silver bell-like magical artifact suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Ting ting..."

He suddenly shook the bell, accompanied by a crisp ringing sound, an invisible sound wave spread out.

Dong!

The Spiritual Sense Attack and the invisible sound wave collided, causing invisible ripples to spread in the air.

"Blocked it!" Xu Ping's face changed, who exactly was this person, able to fully block a Spiritual Sense Attack.

"Humph!" The disheveled man snorted coldly, and a corpse covered in green scales with blue-black mist faintly emerging from its surface suddenly appeared.

"Go!"

He pointed, and the corpse with green scales suddenly opened its eyes, a flash of blood light from its white pupils, a powerful aura rising.

Then it flashed, disappearing in an instant.

"So fast!"

Xu Ping's face was solemn, mana circulating, about to slash with his sword, but he heard the bell's crisp sound.

"Ting ting..."

His mana circulation suddenly became sluggish, his expression turned dazed, his eyes blankly looking forward.

Buzz!

At this moment, the Taihang Nourishing God Skill suddenly operated on its own, a cool influx into his mind, Xu Ping suddenly regained his senses.

Hoo!

As he regained his senses, a fist wrapped in blue-black mist enlarged in front of his eyes.

"Not good!"

Xu Ping's expression changed drastically, at this moment, it was too late to draw his sword, he could only withstand it.

He swiftly formed a magic seal and shouted in a low voice: "Blood Demon True Form!"

In an instant, his body began to swell, transforming into a burly man over two meters tall, the surface of his skin flowing with blood light.

Without hesitation, he punched to counter.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the ground shook like meteorites colliding, the earth within several meters of their center completely collapsed, an invisible shockwave rippling from their center, sending rubble flying, raising clouds of dust.

When the dust settled, the battlefield situation was revealed.

The corpse with green scales stood unmoving in place, while Xu Ping had been forced back several meters.

Xu Ping grimaced as he shook his numb arm, this corpse with green scales was strong!

It could even suppress his Blood Demon True Form, probably no weaker than some second-stage middle grade Body Cultivators.

'This person is definitely not an ordinary Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.' Xu Ping's gaze passed over the corpse with green scales and fell on the disheveled man, his eyes filled with fear.

Having a magical artifact to manipulate Divine Sense and a corpse no weaker than a second-stage middle grade Body Cultivator.

If not for Xu Ping taking preemptive action, crushing one of his legs into pieces, he might not be his opponent either.

And the disheveled man opposite, seeing Xu Ping unharmed, let out an expression of shock: "What! You actually used your body to withstand my bronze corpse?"

"Second-stage Body Refinement?"

"Spiritual Sense Attack, Sword Qi Thunder Sound, Second-stage Body Refinement, what a monster this is!"

At this moment, both sides felt intense fear towards each other and also developed a strong killing intent.

"Go!"

The disheveled man again directed the bronze corpse to attack Xu Ping, then shook the silver bell again.

But Xu Ping, already prepared, naturally wouldn't fall for it again.

His eyes shone with spiritual light, clashing with the sonic attack.

Then he summoned a second-stage middle grade 'Desert Charm' talisman.

In an instant, a vortex of wild yellow sand over twenty meters wide appeared out of thin air, enveloping both the disheveled man and the bronze corpse, creating a harsh grinding sound as it clashed with their protective spells.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Ping activated an array.

"Activate!"

He took out four mid-grade Spirit Stones, inserted them into the array plate, then cast a magic technique onto the array plate.
