Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, several loud explosions reverberated through the air.
Three invading Tribulation Cultivators burst into fierce torches in mid-air.
The screams immediately echoed across the sky above Luoh River Marketplace.
This made the scar-faced man who was fleeing, along with another Tribulation Cultivator, feel utterly terrified.
Even in their wildest dreams, they hadn't imagined that the Ji Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be so terrifying.
With just a gesture and a step, he easily killed six of their companions.
Feeling the flames rapidly approaching from behind, the fear in the hearts of the scar-faced man and the other Tribulation Cultivator had reached its peak.
The scar-faced man suddenly shouted for help: "Sen...Senior, save me!"
Swish! Swish!
Just as his words fell, two sword beams suddenly appeared in mid-air.
These sword beams barely collided with the falling flames of Ji Haoyuan.
In an instant, a fierce explosion erupted in the sky once again.
It had indeed saved the two scar-faced men.
"Hmm..."
Ji Haoyuan's eyes narrowed instantly.
He looked toward a certain void ahead.
There.
At an unknown time, a masked elder with slightly graying hair had suddenly appeared.
He was standing on a blue-glowing flying sword.
A powerful Spiritual Pressure inherent to Foundation Establishment Cultivators also emanated from him.
At this moment, he looked toward Ji Haoyuan, a hint of apprehension faintly revealed in his exposed eyes.
"Friend, what just happened was pure misunderstanding.
How about we each take our people and leave, and let it end here?"
Upon hearing the masked elder speak, Ji Haoyuan's eyes involuntarily narrowed again.
He hadn't expected that there actually was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the opposing side.
But precisely because of this, it made Ji Haoyuan more suspicious of what was going on.
Being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, there's no real need to lead people in such matters.
Unless his intentions were more than just probing...
At this thought, the Crimson Flame Patterned Spear beneath Ji Haoyuan's feet trembled.
It rippled rings of crimson red in mid-air.
He coldly replied, "Not good enough."
The masked elder's gaze changed.
Ji Haoyuan continued: "You brought people to break into my Ji Family's marketplace, kill my Ji Family members, and damage my Ji Family's reputation.
If this matter is just concluded as this, wouldn't it be telling the world that any random person could come and wreak havoc with my Ji Family in the future?"
After Ji Haoyuan finished speaking, the Ji Family members below couldn't help but feel emotionally stirred.
How long has it been?
Since their ancestor, Ji Bochang, secluded himself.
Although their Ji Family is still one of the three major Foundation Establishment families in Nanning County.
But they've long lost their confidence.
Especially when facing the other two major Foundation Establishment families, they dared not confront them head-on.
But now...
Facing the masked elder, who is also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, their elder, who ascended to Foundation Establishment at the age of a hundred, displayed unprecedented assertiveness.
This brought great impact to the younger members.
It invisibly reignited their confidence as descendants of an old Foundation Establishment family.
"Then what do you intend to do?"
The masked elder's eyes narrowed slightly.
A hint of ferocity flickered deep in his pupils.
"Very simple."
Ji Haoyuan seemed completely unaware of the other party's change.
He took a step forward.
Without any warning.
The Crimson Flame Patterned Spear beneath him suddenly turned into a scarlet streak.
With two whumping sounds.
The scar-faced man and another Tribulation Cultivator near the masked elder widened their eyes.
They stared blankly at the sudden hole in their chests, faces filled with shock and disbelief.
He... he actually...
As the two bodies fell heavily to the ground, the eyes of the masked elder became fierce.
"You court death!"
Swish!
A dazzling sword beam suddenly shone in the sky.
With a thunderous roar.
It was met precisely by a spear beam wrapped in layers of flames.
Ji Haoyuan didn't hesitate, choosing the fiercest way to respond directly.
He was determined to try and keep the opponent!
At this moment, a battle between Foundation Establishment Cultivators erupted.
Seeing the continuous clashes between sword beams and spear beams.
Terrifying waves reverberated in all directions.
Such significant commotion naturally couldn't go unnoticed by others in Nanning County.
On a mountain shrouded in rich Spiritual Qi.
Two middle-aged men in Zhang Family attire were playing chess.
But soon, their gazes turned toward the direction of Luoh River Marketplace.
One of them said: "Brother, it seems the Ji Family has produced a new Foundation Establishment Cultivator; it truly isn't a rumor.
What do you think, should we..."
As he spoke, this person made a downward cutting motion.
The middle-aged man with a long beard across from him hesitated slightly.
But ultimately, he shook his head, saying:
"No need, even if the Ji Family has a second Foundation Establishment Cultivator, I imagine it's recently promoted.
We might as well use that person to measure out their strength, without involving ourselves in the situation."
At the same time.
The Liu Family, one of the three major Foundation Establishment families in Nanning County.
A middle-aged woman around forty was also watching the direction of Luoh River Marketplace, murmuring to herself.
"Ascending to Foundation Establishment at the age of a hundred surely gave us all a huge 'surprise'.
Just wondering, how much strength you truly possess."
Ji Haoyuan was unaware of others' secret attention at this time.
In fact.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
After all, one of his most important purposes for coming here was to showcase his existence to all of Nanning County.
Boom boom boom!
Another series of explosions sounded in the sky.
The masked elder's figure retreated repeatedly.
His blood and energy churned uncontrollably.
He, was already falling into a disadvantageous position.
How could this be?
Disbelief surfaced in the masked elder's eyes.
Knowing that he, though already advanced in age, had been in the Foundation Establishment stage for over a Jiazi.
Logically, neither his Magical Power, nor his combat experience should be surpassed by the opponent.
But the fact was...
Though he didn't want to accept it, after exchanging blows, the masked elder realized he truly might not be a match for Ji Haoyuan.
At this realization, the masked elder immediately had the intention to retreat.
However, Ji Haoyuan seemed to see through his thoughts, making his assault even more fierce.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Crimson Flame Patterned Spear suddenly burst forth three extremely intense spear beams.
Each spear beam carried incomparable Magical Power, with blazing flames, sealing off all possible retreat paths for the masked elder.
