At this moment, Xia Liu stood proudly, his imposing aura causing pressure on all Golden Core Stage cultivators present.

However, Fa Ming and the others quickly adjusted to the situation.

They believed that Xia Liu, with only Foundation Establishment cultivation, had reached his limit.

At this time, he was like a withered leaf in the wind, dispersing with a gust.

Like thin paper, a single breath would shatter him.

"Three Daoist Fellows, Daoist Fellow Han was no match and might have already fallen, critically wounded. Who is willing to step forward and kill this young one next?"

Sage Tianjue inquired.

"Daoist Fellow Tianjue, to be honest, he and the three of us are at odds till death, so I hope this opportunity can be given to me."

Wang Yuan said eagerly.

Only by interacting with Xia Liu first and seizing his spiritual artifact can there be a chance to escape. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

If the spiritual artifact fell into the hands of Sage Tianjue and Fa Ming.

Trying to seize it then would be akin to snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

Golden Core Mid-Stage and Golden Core Late-Stage aren't even comparable realms.

Unless one is a prodigious talent, no one can cross that gap.

"Daoist Fellow Wang, you also saw that even Daoist Fellow Han couldn't prevail using his lifebound dharma artifact, how confident are you?"

Sage Tianjue's eyes slightly narrowed.

He clearly understood Wang Yuan's intentions.

If the spiritual artifact truly fell into his hands, combined with the unique space within the Extreme Cold Secret Realm.

Unless he had Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, pursuing him would be challenging.

Such a high-grade spiritual artifact cannot fall into others' hands.

"Daoist Fellow Tianjue is quite right; if my guess is correct, he should have the ability to crush Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivators, but against Golden Core Late-Stage, he's bound to be defeated!"

Fa Ming agreed with Sage Tianjue's words and tried to dissuade Wang Yuan and Zhou Yu.

"Indeed, but this man killed my daoist fellow, now it's just me and Daoist Fellow Zhou left, revenge is a must even if it means death! Also, there's earlier grievances that must be settled altogether!"

Wang Yuan's energy condensed heavily.

Determined to make a move.

"Yes, before meeting the two Daoist Fellows, the three of us had already been set up by this despicable brat, so I must personally settle his life! Or else my daoist heart will be flawed."

Zhou Yu cannot miss this opportunity.

Contesting for the spiritual artifact's ownership with Wang Yuan is far easier than competing against Sage Tianjue and Fa Ming.

Thus, the spiritual artifact should belong to us!

"Are you really ready to face death?"

Sage Tianjue shook his head helplessly.

It seems without tangible action, they won't extinguish their desire for the spiritual artifact.

"Certainly! Destroying my daoist fellow, trapping us cultivators, he must die by my hands! Or else the enmity within my heart remains unresolved!"

"Please, Sage Tianjue and Daoist Fellow Fa Ming, give us a chance."

Zhou Yu said, clasping his fists.

"Well…"

For a moment, Fa Ming couldn't make a decision.

Xia Liu, who could kill Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivators, is still there; internal conflict arising wouldn't guarantee he won't seize the opportunity to escape.

"Alright, let the two Daoist Fellows strike down this son."

After a while, Sage Tianjue spoke.

Fearing Xia Liu might have reserves, let Wang Yuan and Zhou Yu exhibit some action.

If by then both sides are exhausted, wouldn't it be easy to kill all three swiftly?

It would be just like that saying: achieve without effort.

Understanding Sage Tianjue's relent, Wang Yuan and Zhou Yu acknowledged.

A mantis stalks a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. But they aren't mantises; they're eagles!

Looking down on all beings! Lofty and superior!

Join forces and instantly slew Xia Liu, seize the spiritual artifact and flee the scene!

With a mutual thought, Wang Yuan and Zhou Yu stepped forward.

Aiming for a swift conclusion.

But unexpectedly, a teasing voice came from the front.

"Everyone, I know your thoughts clearly; isn't it just to take the spiritual artifact from my hands? How about this, all at once, save some effort?"

During their conversation, Xia Liu felt quite awkward.

Finally, unable to hold back, spoke up.

Instead of picking them off one by one, he'd rather catch them all at once!

Before entering Thunder Region, even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in front, Xia Liu was confident to leverage Thunder Region to escape.

"Oh? The young one is quite confident?"

Sage Tianjue asked.

"Confident or not, just make your move."

"Hmph! Arrogant brat! Just Daoist Fellow Zhou and me are enough to leave you regretting here!"

Wang Yuan doesn't want Sage Tianjue and Fa Ming to intervene.

The spiritual artifact belongs to him alone!

"You're likely hundreds of years old, never thought you'd be this naive, save the boasting and strike together."

Xia Liu coldly remarked, causing Wang Yuan's face to darken with lines.

Contempt!

Bare contempt!

Since when did Foundation Establishment become so rampant?

Even Golden Core Stage cultivators aren't regarded!

However, Xia Liu indeed qualifies, after all, Golden Core Mid-Stage Han Luonan's life and death are uncertain under his offensive.

"Haha! The young one is quite arrogant!"

Fa Ming couldn't help but laugh.

Previously, his thought mirrored Sage Tianjue's.

Let Wang Yuan and Zhou Yu go together, with both sides exhausted.

He could easily finish them off with a single move.

Yet now, Xia Liu forced him to act himself!

"Daoist Fellow Tianjue, what do you think?"

Fa Ming asked.

"How can a Golden Core Stage expert tolerate such insults?"

In a statement conveying his intent, to strike down Xia Liu!

"Daoist Fellow Tianjue, don't fall into his trap."

Wang Yuan quickly advised.

Should these two strike, his dreams would be shattered.

"Daoist Fellow Wang, enough talk, strike together, by time let's see who's fortunate to obtain the spiritual artifact!"

Sage Tianjue was already impatient.

Directly tore off the facade, all for the spiritual artifact.

Why act?

Wang Yuan wore a cold face, saying nothing further.

Since Sage Tianjue said as such.

Then let's see who's lucky enough to gain the spiritual artifact!

They pitied those who never considered, what if they lose?

What if Xia Liu counter-killed them!

"Haha! You all take heed!"

Clap!

Xia Liu's hands suddenly clapped together.

Haoran righteous energy surged skyward from him.

Then, a mighty unparalleled divine sense broke boundaries, advancing into Thunder Region.

"Today Thunder Region opens, Fengdu Road has no return!"

Roar!

"Thunder, come!"

Roaring angrily, heaven and earth became silent, all things lost sound, everything entered into a tranquil state.

In this soundless state, the firmament altered colors.

Thicker than ever before, thunderclouds rapidly spread.

In a radius of a hundred miles, there was no light.

A suffocating atmosphere prevailed, even Golden Core Stage cultivators felt overwhelmed under its presence!

Activating the entire Thunder Region, Xia Liu's energy diminished instantly.

This time, his expended divine sense and strength were overly immense.

"Elder Bai, it's up to you now!"

Clenching his teeth without any results, Xia Liu transmitted a thought to Bai Jue.

"Achieving this step, you surpass all monsters I've known, rest well now, watch me crush the Golden Core Stage ants!"

Boom!

Within Xia Liu, a sudden explosion sounded.

A presence far beyond ordinary cultivators emanated.

The oppressive atmosphere in the void intensified.

Forcing the Golden Core Late-Stage Sage Tianjue to almost suffocate.

"Not right!"

Fa Ming cried out.

He saw the anomaly.

This power far exceeds Xia Liu's ability to wield.

Yet he could control it!

If incapable of resisting, even he might fall on the spot!
