In the current situation, dragging it out for too long would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

If other Foundation Establishment cultivators arrive, then we're truly doomed.

Thinking of this, the yellow-robed cultivator shouted and directly abandoned the top-grade magic artifact robe. His whole body transformed into a streak of blood light and scattered in all directions, shooting along the low foothills.

After fleeing for more than ten miles without sensing any trace of Han Li's presence, the yellow-robed cultivator breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Just then, a flash of blood appeared ahead, and a blurry figure emerged, with a giant cyan sword slashing down at it.

The sudden turn of events left the yellow-robed cultivator no time to react, and he was directly smashed down by the swung giant sword.

Intense pain shot through his internal organs, and he coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

Not far away, Han Li's figure slowly emerged. Ghostly energy swirled around him, mixed with wisps of demonic energy, making him difficult to see clearly.

"Boy, since you're determined to wipe us all out, then let's all die together!"

Seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the yellow-robed cultivator. Taking advantage of the Xuan Yu Demon Embryo Technique's effect, he wielded his blood-red blade and slashed down at Han Li.

Han Li snorted coldly, and the Supreme Emperor Bell spun around, descending from above to protect him.

Immediately afterwards, the Fire Cloud Hood shone brightly, and countless fire clouds surged out, mixed with eerie demonic flames, appearing black and red, looking particularly terrifying.

"Azure Sun Demon Flame, who exactly are you?!"

The yellow-robed cultivator, who had been knocked back by the Supreme Emperor Bell, had no time to react before being engulfed by demonic flames.

He then produced a purple-gold gourd, which absorbed all the roaring flames.

The moment Han Li saw the purple-gold gourd, his eyes flashed.

This purple-gold gourd was the very item that was consigned for auction at the Wuling City auction. This was, in fact, the third time he had seen it.

After absorbing all the fiery clouds, the yellow-robed cultivator shouted, turned the gourd around, and spat out all the demonic fire at once.

Han Li sneered at this and removed the Supreme Emperor Bell.

Upon seeing this, the yellow-robed cultivator was overjoyed. His magical power surged forth, along with the various strange poisonous gases sealed within the gourd, all in an attempt to completely annihilate Han Li.

With a flick of his palm, a small red flag appeared in his hand. This was none other than the Crimson Flame Flag, another top-tier magical artifact given to him by Venerable Cangkun.

The moment the Crimson Flame Banner appeared, a sense of foreboding rose in the heart of the yellow-robed cultivator.

Han Li waved the small red flag wildly, instantly creating a gust of fiery wind that dispersed all the fire cloud poison gas, which then pressed down on the yellow-robed cultivator from all directions.

Upon seeing this, the yellow-robed cultivator was about to activate the purple-gold gourd when blackish-purple flames suddenly ignited on his body, causing him to scream in agony.

How could Han Li possibly give him the chance to control the Purple Gold Gourd?

With a swift turn, he seemed to transform into a colossal sword reaching for the heavens, piercing through the sea of ​​fire and slashing down mercilessly.

"what!"

The moment the mysterious rusty sword pierced his body, the yellow-robed cultivator was terrified. Just as he was about to unleash his magic power, the sword's devouring power completely drained his life essence and magic power.

Under the scorching heat of the Demonic Crimson Lotus, the yellow-robed cultivator's body caved in at a visible speed, until only skin and bones remained.

After carefully storing the Purple Gold Gourd and the broken Demon Blade, Han Li's gaze fell upon the skeleton before him.

"What is this thing that can withstand the scorching heat of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire?"

Due to improper handling, the items inside the storage bag had already been burned to ashes. By the time Han Li realized what was happening, it was too late.

Just then, a spherical object emitting a strange red glow caught Han Li's attention.

"This is......??"

Han Li was taken aback. With a wave of his hand, all the flames in the sky dissipated. He then grabbed the bead in his hand and examined it carefully.

"This is the Dust-Avoiding Pearl, which can be considered a top-tier auxiliary magic item! It doesn't carry any combat abilities, but it might have a miraculous effect if you go to certain extreme places."

At this moment, Wei Wuji's voice came out.

"A top-tier magic weapon!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li's eyes flickered slightly.

It should be noted that only cultivators at the Core Formation stage or above can activate magical treasures. In addition to the Dust-Avoiding Pearl, Han Li also possesses the Pure Spirit Jade Pendant left behind by the Seven-Colored True Man, which is also among the top-tier magical treasures.

Unfortunately, he was unable to control either the Qingling Jade Pendant or the Dust-Avoiding Bead.

Top-tier auxiliary magic weapons are completely different. They are created specifically to cope with certain extreme environments. Even if the user's cultivation level is low, these magic weapons can still function autonomously.

Han Li never expected that a Foundation Establishment cultivator would possess such a top-tier auxiliary magic weapon.

Considering the purpose of the dust-repelling bead, it was clearly designed for travel to some extreme place. Where could that be?

Han Li stared intently at the top-tier magic weapon before him, lost in thought.

After completely erasing the marks from the magical artifacts, Han Li, just in case, wrapped the captured items with the Taiqing Cave Profound True Light.

He didn't believe that there were only a handful of demonic cultivators lurking among the five major sects.

Han Li wielded his giant sword, shaving off a layer of the battlefield's surface. After clearing the battlefield, he used a lightness technique to fly low close to the purple rocky ground.

Returning to the depression where the previous battle took place, Jiao Fei was sitting cross-legged, with wisps of spiritual energy flowing into his body.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you're back. Where is that demonic spy?"

Sensing Han Li's presence, Jiao Fei slowly stood up, revealing an unusually pale face.

"I killed him!"

Han Li said calmly.

Hearing this, Jiao Fei breathed a sigh of relief, then clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying:

"If it weren't for your help, my life would have been in grave danger! Speaking of which, this is the second time you've rescued me, Fellow Daoist Han. If I manage to get out of here alive this time, I, Jiao, will definitely pay you a visit to express my gratitude!"

"Fellow Daoist Jiao, you are too kind. It is the duty of us cultivators to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. But speaking of which, how did you manage to provoke these evil stars?"

Han Li cupped his hands in greeting and asked.

"This place isn't safe. Let's walk and talk!"

After a moment of silence, Jiao Fei slowly spoke.

Han Li nodded, and the two of them transformed into two streaks of light, speeding along the purplish-black foothills.

Jiao Fei then told Han Li the whole story.

It turns out that the three who died were allies of Jiao Fei, and were invited to a dangerous place to seek opportunities.

Unexpectedly, these three harbored ulterior motives and wanted to use the demon beast to eliminate the group so they could kill and steal their treasure.

That demonic beast was truly formidable; his two allied junior brothers were no match for it and were killed on the spot.

If he hadn't possessed a strange fire, which he used to frighten away the demonic beast, he probably would have perished long ago.
