Chapter 571: Chapter 274: Return to the Origin Fire, Beidou Immortal Palace

Upon leaving Jiu Yao City, Han Yi’s speed was not slow, but after a quarter of an hour, just as he was about to cross a mountain range, he suddenly felt a stirring in his heart and looked back.

Dozens of kilometers away, an Immortal Boat was speeding towards him, with a speed that made his face change slightly.

Such speed of the Immortal Boat had already surpassed that of a high-grade spiritual treasure, reaching that of a top-grade spiritual treasure, and the owner of a top-grade spiritual treasure Immortal Boat was very likely to be a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Although Han Yi had killed an Evil Saint before and was confident that he would not be afraid of fighting an Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator again, if by any chance the cultivator on this Immortal Boat was a Mid-stage Nascent Soul or a Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be dangerous for him.

As his face changed slightly, he was already controlling the Immortal Boat to fly to the side, making way for the approaching boat.

However, the Immortal Boat behind him also followed suit, keeping close to him. At this point, Han Yi’s face turned solemn, and he confirmed that the Immortal Boat behind him was definitely coming for him.

But after he returned to the human world, he had not made much of a fuss, and he could not figure out which force he had offended.

However, he quickly realized that, considering the short time he had been back, he probably had not offended any other cultivators, and the greatest possibility for the cultivator on board the approaching Immortal Boat was…

Robbing cultivators.

Thinking of this, a flash of killing intent crossed Han Yi’s heart, and his body sank down, falling into the forests below.

Tens of miles away, on the pitch-black Immortal Boat, seven figures appeared in hunting robes, laughing coldly as they watched Han Yi sinking into the forest below.

“He has discovered us.”

“It doesn’t matter, he can’t escape even if he finds out.”

“Our Immortal Boat is a top-grade spiritual treasure, obtained from the Qiankun Ring of that Nascent Soul cultivator last time.”

“That’s right, not to mention a Spiritual Treasure, even a half-step Spiritual Treasure was not possessed by that poor Nascent Soul cultivator.”

The middle-aged man in the center of the group shook his head slightly, reminding everyone.

“We should be on high alert. This person is able to cross from the Yu Heng World to here, so he must not be simple.”

“Moreover, before we encountered that Nascent Soul cultivator, he must have encountered robbers and suffered severe injuries; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so easily poisoned by us.”

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed, but in their hearts, they didn’t take the upcoming battle very seriously. In the past, when the seven of them joined forces to hunt down Gold Core cultivators, they never failed. Among the seven of them, four were at the Golden Core Peak, three were in the Late-stage Golden Core, and their leader was a Half-step Nascent Soul who had managed to escape from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

With this lineup, it wouldn’t be too much to say that defeating a Golden Core Peak would be a piece of cake.

The pitch-black Immortal Boat plummeted downwards, and as it descended into the forest, it was put away. Then, seven figures clad in black robes appeared in the air, preparing to land in the forest below.

“Huh?”

The leader of the Seventh Black God, the Half-step Nascent Soul middle-aged man, suddenly uttered a soft exclamation, as he could not detect Han Yi’s presence within a ten-kilometer radius of the forest using his divine sense.

Could he have run so fast?

However.

At the very next moment, his face changed drastically, and he wanted to take some action, but it was too late.

A black Sword Light had already leaped up from the forest below, as if it was a thunderbolt, astonishingly fast.

As the Sword Light entered his field of vision, his sense of impending doom rose sharply in an instant.

All he managed to do was to use all his strength to move his head to the side.

If time were slowed down a hundred times, one would see that as the Sword Light approached, his pupils dilated rapidly, and every bit of flesh on his face trembled uncontrollably. His head moved slowly but firmly to one side, and because of the speed, even his neck appeared distorted due to the pressure on it.

The next instant, time flowed normally again.

With a “puff,” the Sword Light cut across his left temple, drawing a trace of blood. Through the slit, one could see the pale skull, and even the bones were shaken by the Sword Light, revealing several cracks.

Although such an injury was not fatal, it still made him buzz, his consciousness tremble, and he nearly fainted.

“Ah…”

A few screams suddenly came from the surrounds, shaking his heart, forcing him to wake up from the near-faint state.

As he woke and turned his head, he saw the same black Sword Light that had almost killed him. It was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch its trace, only revealing itself briefly as it pierced through the bodies of other cultivators.

In the instant that he turned around, four of the Seventh Black God’s group had already met their ends under the Sword Light, leaving only two others besides him.

In a flash, four people, including two Golden Core Peak and two Late-stage Golden Core cultivators, were killed.

From this perspective, the enemy didn’t care about Golden Core Peak or Late-stage Golden Core; they were all the same to him and didn’t make a selection randomly.

How could it be possible?

How could he be so fast?

The middle-aged man’s courage instantly turned cold. Such strength was absolutely not that of a Golden Core cultivator, but rather a formidable cultivator who was pretending to be weak to deceive them.

It was a trap.

Gu Li had joined other robbing cultivators and lured them to their deaths.

The only possibility that came to his mind was that the cultivator had already acted mercilessly before they even made a move or poisoned them, being even more ruthless, more vicious, and more like a robbing cultivator than them.
