At this moment, Ding Huan suddenly felt that the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy had become irregular and extremely chaotic, and the next moment, the fluctuations disappeared.
Ding Huan instantly knew that Elder He had discovered the Poison Fog.
He activated the Array Flag at the first opportunity, and the Poison Fog from the Big Universe Pearl swept over the entire Purple Creek Peak like a storm.
"Who is it?" An angry voice exploded, causing Ding Huan’s eardrums to ache, and soon he saw a man in a Purple Robe charging out.
Ding Huan had always assumed that since Elder He was the oldest member of the Sect, he would look quite aged.
He hadn’t expected Elder He to look so young.
As soon as Elder He appeared, he saw the sky full of Poison Fog and was so furious his face turned green.
In his own Purple Creek Peak in Purple Mist Valley, he was ambushed. If he did not capture the person who ambushed him and tear them to pieces, it would not quell his fury, Qi Guanghe’s wrath.
But now, with Poison Fog everywhere on Purple Creek Peak, he had to get off the peak first.
Normally, one would leave Purple Creek Peak through the same path used to go up.
But Elder He charged toward the side of the cliff.
Bang! Elder He’s figure was blocked by a trapping array. Before he could stabilize his posture, Ding Huan’s Separation Spear blasted out.
At the same time, the Killing Array Ding Huan set up was activated.
With the launch of the spear, endless killing intent stirred in the space, transforming the Separation Spear into the world itself—a Slaughter World.
"Seeking death!" Elder He summoned the Water and Fire Dual Slash with a wave of his hand.
The second Divine Skill of the Separation Spear, Annihilation, formed a complete Slaughter Realm. The killing intent in the space continued to swirl, constantly reaching its peak.
The spear slashed across space, stirring this slaughter world. Everything enveloped by this slaughter world was turned to dust and vanished without a trace.
Ding Huan watched as his Separation Spear’s swirling slaughter realm locked down Elder He, and he rejoiced inwardly—this fellow must have been affected by the Poison Fog, hence his sluggish movements.
It seemed he had overestimated Elder He...
Just as this thought arose in Ding Huan’s mind, he saw a blue and a red aura instantly tear through the slaughter realm created by his spear.
The Slaughter Realm of the Separation Spear was forcibly torn apart, causing Ding Huan’s Sea of Consciousness to ache.
Not good, Ding Huan frantically tried to retreat, but clearly, he realized this a bit too late.
After tearing through the realm of the spear, the two streams of killing intent, one blue and one red, did not weaken much and directly pounced toward Ding Huan.
"Crack!"
A horrifying sound of bones breaking echoed, and Ding Huan felt as if his body was being torn apart. He spat out a stream of blood and was sent flying backward.
"A mere True Pill ant dares to plot against me, Qi Guanghe!"
Elder He’s anger reached its peak, and he followed his two streams of killing intent towards Ding Huan.
Puff puff puff! In the Strangulation Array, a series of Blade Light swirls targeted Elder He.
Just as Elder He was about to capture Ding Huan, he was forced to stop, shocked to find that the Killing Array was also of the fifth level.
Indeed, he was not afraid of this fifth-level Strangulation Array, but he was afraid of the Poison Fog.
Right now, he was not afraid, but once the Poison Fog invaded his internal organs and even his meridians, all he could do was wait for death.
No good, he must think of a way to leave this Killing Array.
Ding Huan lay in the defensive formation, spitting out blood profusely.
His heart was filled with terror.
He had tried to estimate Elder He’s strength as highly as possible, and only now did he realize how vastly he differed from a Half-step Void God.
This was even after his advancement to the Star Storage Realm. If he were still in the Star Cloud Realm, that spear he threw would have been suicidal.
But being in the Star Cloud Realm, he likely wouldn’t have dared to attack. All he could do was continue to control the Array Flags to bind Elder He.
As long as Elder He could resist the Poison Fog, and then gradually break through his successive Killing Arrays, then Ding Huan would lose.
"Boom, boom!" Elder He was still continuously bombarding Ding Huan’s Killing Array.
Elder He was only a fourth-level Array Master, while Ding Huan’s mastery of Array Dao was close to the sixth level.
The reason he was still attacking Ding Huan’s Killing Array was that he knew Ding Huan had almost been slain by his earlier assault.
Not to mention Ding Huan, a mere True Pill Realm cultivator, if Primordial Soul Realm’s Gu Mo were here and received such heavy injuries by his Water and Fire Dual Slash, he wouldn’t recover for half a month.
At this moment, Ding Huan could actually control the Array Flags to activate the killing arrays against Elder He, but he knew he couldn’t.
As long as Elder He sensed danger, he would definitely teleport away through the small stream.
He had placed a Hell Vine Seed there. Once activated, the Hell Vine Seed could bind Elder He for up to three breaths.
Thus, he only had three breaths’ time to kill Elder He.

If Elder He escaped this time, Ding Huan’s fate would be sealed. Not only would he not be able to stay in Purple Mist Valley, he might have to adopt a pseudonym in the Taoist Realm.
Ding Huan desperately circulated the Great Universe Technique to heal his body, having merged with genes that sped up injury recovery, much faster than ordinary cultivators.
"Crack!" When Elder He finally broke through the first Killing Array, Ding Huan stood up.
Elder He discovered that after breaking one Killing Array, another still awaited him, which enraged him to the point of cursing loudly.
The Poison Fog at Purple Creek Peak was getting denser, and with the addition of Illusion Arrays and Poison Arrays, Elder He’s body was clearly affected.
He grabbed several medicine pills and swallowed them, launching relentless attacks on the next Killing Array.
Ding Huan still did not control the Array Flag to repair the Killing Array.
He had set up five such Killing Arrays and he didn’t believe Elder He could continuously breach all five.
Ding Huan knew the strategy he employed this time was flawed—he shouldn’t have used the spear. He should’ve stayed within the array, repairing the Killing Array while controlling it to strangle the old man.
When the old man attempted to flee, that would be his chance to deliver a fatal blow.
From a distance, Liu Yinzhu and Sang Yuhe saw continuous booming sounds emanating from the sky above Purple Creek Peak, interspersed with Elder He’s roars of fury.
Their faces were pale.
Ding Huan hadn’t managed to kill Elder He immediately, making this operation likely dangerous.
Judging by the booming sounds, it must be Elder He attacking the trapping array controlled by Ding Huan. Once Ding Huan’s array was breached, he would have no choice but to sit and wait for death.
His opponent’s strength was far too superior, yet Ding Huan truly had ability.
However capable, how could someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm fight against a perfect Primordial Soul expert?
In Liu Yinzhu’s mind, Ding Huan was still at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But to Sang Yuhe, having seen Ding Huan easily kill Qi Yushan, she believed Ding Huan was at the True Pill Realm.
She didn’t know that Ding Huan wasn’t at the True Pill Realm when killing Qi Yushan. Only now could he be considered equivalent to the True Pill Realm.
"Crack!" The second Killing Array was breached by Elder He.
Ding Huan still did not control the Killing Array to take action, knowing a mistake can occur once, but twice would indicate not a lack of strength but stupidity.
At this moment, Ding Huan was merely focusing desperately on using the Great Universe Technique to heal his injuries; his bones recovered rapidly and his blood vitality also gradually restored during this time.
Ding Huan decided to act when Elder He breached the fourth Killing Array.
With Elder He’s strength, to breach four Killing Arrays, he would need at least an incense stick of time.
As Elder He became progressively more poisoned, he took even longer.
The longer it took, the more advantageous it was for him.
At this time, Ding Huan was truly thankful to Ji Xinting.
If it weren’t for the Big Universe Pearl Ji Xinting gave him, and the Ten Thousand Bottle he bought in Yanyue City’s Trading Building to hold Hidden Sword Mountain’s Poison Fog to counter Elder He...
Heh, that would have been a joke.
He also felt fortunate for choosing the Hidden Sword Mountain Poison Fog; otherwise, he would be even more passive.
Boom! Crack! The third Killing Array was breached by Elder He.
Elder He was so angered he couldn’t even be bothered to curse. This True Pill insect was insane.
Having breached three Killing Arrays consecutively and still more to go.
After breaking the third Killing Array, Elder He decisively threw out a black pearl and activated it.
Boom!
A terrifying booming sound exploded, shaking even Ding Huan hidden within the Defense Array.
Crack! Cra…
To Ding Huan’s horror, his fourth Killing Array shattered under this booming sound, and even the fifth Killing Array began to crack.
What a terrifying attack.
Where could Ding Huan dare to wait any longer? If he continued to wait, he would die.
Should Elder He tear through the fifth Killing Array, then it would certainly be Ding Huan’s end.
As Ding Huan continuously dropped Array Flags, the already cracked fifth Killing Array quickly repaired itself.
Ding Huan only hoped that the black pearl Elder He used was unique; if another came his way, maintaining the fifth Killing Array would be wishful thinking.
When Ding Huan released the first Array Flag to repair it, Elder He attacking the fifth Killing Array sensed it.
He was shocked; he knew very well how severely Ding Huan was injured.
Severely wounded by his Water and Fire Dual Slash, Ding Huan was almost at death’s door.
Yet in such a short time, Ding Huan could again direct the Killing Array.
Is this guy immortal?
After several more attacks, Elder He felt a sinking feeling in his heart, knowing he had to leave.
This Protecting Array, with such an Array Dao master repairing it, he could never break through.
Moreover, due to the poisoning, his attack power weakened increasingly.
He had misused his Blast God Pearl, which should have been reserved for breaking the fourth Killing Array; he used it too soon.
The opponent definitely only had five Killing Arrays; otherwise, they wouldn’t have hurried to repair the fifth.
Regrettably, he had only one Blast God Pearl.
Elder He forcefully suppressed his killing intent; this kid should wait for him. When he returned, all Purple Mist Valley cultivators involved in this ambush would die ten thousand times.
