Ji Haoyuan instantly recognized the two people flying toward him; they were none other than the two cultivators from the Netherworld Sect.

This made his eyes narrow slightly.

Logically speaking, the people of the Netherworld Sect should be the most aware of Ji Haoyuan's strength.

Yet those two were so eager at this moment.

As soon as they entered the Thousand Streams Secret Realm, they directly came to find him.

Could it be that those two have some special reliance on them?

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, he saw the two cultivators from the Netherworld Sect stop their escape light not far from him.

Their faces were now showing a slight cold smile.

But the murderous intent in their eyes was completely undisguised.

"Ji, I never thought you'd have such boldness.

Knowing that my Netherworld Sect has issued a kill order for you, you still dare to come here.

So be it.

This time we'll take your head back and claim our reward from our sect's True Man."

A sinister-looking man laughed coldly.

As his words fell, he and the other gray-robed man suddenly patted the storage bags on their waists.

Instantly, a sinister wind swept through.

In their hands appeared a black banner.

Countless shadows swayed on the banners, howling incessantly.

Among them, two shadows quickly solidified in mid-air, transforming into two terrifying Demon Shadows, ten meters tall, with green faces, sharp fangs, and bodies covered in black scales, exuding an exceptionally fearsome aura.

They were at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

The Ghost Soul Banner.

It was the signature magical artifact of the Netherworld Sect.

Every Netherworld Sect disciple is given this banner during the Qi Refining Stage.

By consuming the essences of living humans and demon beasts, nurturing them within the banner, and letting them devour each other.

The one that survives can obtain all the essences of the others and thereby strengthen itself.

This was clearly a growth-type magical artifact.

At its peak, it could even reach the level of a Magical Treasure.

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan looked at the two vicious Demon Shadows, then glanced at the sinister man and the gray-robed man who were ceaselessly coldly smiling at him, finally understanding the source of their confidence.

Indeed.

Two at Foundation Establishment Completion, plus two Demon Shadows at the peak of Foundation Establishment, dealing with someone of the same stage was indeed foolproof.

No matter who, they wouldn't believe there would be any surprises in this encounter.

It's just unfortunate...

Ji Haoyuan slightly lowered his eyes.

Once he raised them again, reflected in his pupils were the images of two great suns.

Swoosh!

Without any warning, a sword hum suddenly erupted in the air.

Immediately after, the sinister man and the gray-robed man felt a sharp pain in their eyes and Divine Sense.

When they looked again, they were shocked to find that one of the Demon Shadows beside them had a large hole pierced through its forehead.

Golden Sword Qi, akin to the Great Sun, ravaged within it without restraint.

It was precisely the Great Sun Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique.

"Roar!"

The Demon Shadow suddenly let out a pained and terrified howl.

Soon, its entire body began to be devoured by the golden light, inch by inch, eventually disintegrating completely.

Rip!

Seeing that, the banner in the sinister man's hand suddenly developed a long crack from top to bottom.

Before the sinister man could react, the banner in his hand was directly torn into two halves, losing all spirituality.

"My Ghost Soul Banner!"

The sinister man let out a painful wail.

From his nose, two streaks of fresh blood inexplicably flowed out.

Clearly, with the destruction of the Ghost Soul Banner, he suffered some backlash as its owner.

"Watch out!"

However, at that very moment, the gray-robed man beside him suddenly warned.

The sinister man flinched.

He instinctively raised his eyes to look.

At some point, a glow of red-golden spear light rapidly expanded in his pupils.

"You're courting death!"

The sinister man roared.

The next moment, eight ghostly light rings whirled and danced before him.

It was his superior demon dao spiritual artifact, the Eight Demon Forbidden Technique Ring.

With the ability to lock spirits and seal artifacts.

Any spiritual artifact caught by the Eight Demons Locking Ring.

No matter how powerful its ability or high its grade, would completely lose its spirituality, becoming a mere mortal object.

The sinister man was clearly aiming to use the spirit-locking seal ability of the Eight Demons Locking Ring to nullify Ji Haoyuan's attack.

Splash——

There were multiple ring shadows in mid-air.

The red-gold spear light from Ji Haoyuan, upon contacting those eight rings, seemed like it had fallen into a mire, its speed suddenly slowed.

"Haha!"

The sinister man laughed joyfully upon seeing this.

But then, his laugh didn't last long, and he and the gray-robed man suddenly heard a crisp snapping sound.

Instantly, cracks appeared on those eight rings.

It was the artifact-breaking ability inherent to the Flowing Flame Sky-splitting Spear.

Boom!

Before the two could react, the Flowing Flame Sky-splitting Spear shattered the seal of the Eight Demons Locking Ring, turning into a streak of red-golden light, piercing straight through the sinister man's body in his incredibly incredulous gaze.

Shattering bones, destroying the heart, completely severing all his vitality.

Seeing this, the gray-robed man beside him felt a cold surge throughout his body.

What kind of monster is this man, why? Why? Why?

Swoosh!

Before he could make sense of it all, a magnificent sword Qi, akin to the Great Sun, had already slashed toward him.

"Damn it!"

The gray-robed man's face distorted.

He swiftly cast a spell with a snap.

The next moment, the Demon Shadow beside him seemed to be thrown into a sea of flames, instantly igniting with raging black flames.

But strangely, those flames had no temperature, instead giving an impression of extreme coldness and eerie dread.

"Die!"

Boom!

The Demon Shadow instantly turned entirely into cold and eerie black flames.

A series of cracking sounds rang out.

Everywhere within a few hundred meters was covered in a layer of black ice.

Including the sword light of Ji Haoyuan's Great Sun Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, seemed to dim slightly.

As if showing signs of extinguishing or being frozen.

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan merely chuckled lightly.

Magical Power surged within him.

Instantly, the golden sword light that was about to dim suddenly shone brightly again.

This time, the sword light seemed to carry thunderous sounds.

Sword Qi Thunder Sound!

"How is this possible?"

The gray-robed man's eyes were filled with disbelief.

To know, Sword Qi Thunder Sound had already touched a hint of the Realm's power.

And the Realm was a power that only Golden Core True Men could grasp.

How could he possibly...?
