Li Tianyan continued to use his spiritual power to fight against the man in black robes. He was supported by six types of energy inside his body, and his spiritual power was much stronger than that of an ordinary fourth-level Qi Condensation Cultivator. He did not care about this consumption at all, but when this man fought against Li Tianyan, he also found that apart from his vitality, he didn’t look like a junior innate warrior at all.
Just when Li Tianyan brushed himself away from the man’s punch, he suddenly smelled a different aura on the other man. He made a few feints with the silver spear in his hand, and then pointed it at the side of the black-robed man’s neck at the right time, pierced the black hat connected to the robe, lifted it up, and took off the entire robe he was wearing.
The man who looked exactly like Hou Fengjun was completely exposed. His face was so dark that he could drip water. The man suddenly felt a tingling sensation on the side of his neck and was shocked to realize that something was wrong. He covered his neck, and sure enough, he felt a moist heat on his hand. Staring at Li Tianyan with shock and anger, he shouted, “How dare you destroy my formation.”
“You dare to use the Sun-Catching Formation, such an evil thing, so you are not afraid being thrown into the eighteenth level of hell after your death,” Li Tianyan said in a cold tone, looking at the formation patterns on the man’s neck.
Cheng Qi didn’t understand and asked, “Young master, what is the Sun-Catching Formation?”
Li Tianyan sneered disdainfully, “It’s just a despicable method of extracting other people’s yang life for one’s own use.”
This kind of Sun-Catching Formation pattern had many conditions to control, but the effect was not satisfactory. Often a person’s life could only be exchanged for one year of the other party’s life span. The selected target must be a young man between twenty and twenty-five years old. The person who was extracted, the stronger the strength and the greater their blessing, the more life span could be transformed.
Even so, it was not easy to draw a Sun-Catching Formation. Once the formation was formed, it could only last for seven days. This battle really suited the man’s purpose, to imprison a wolf with the sheep. It just depended on how much the wolf’s appetite could handle.
“Why do you use such insidious methods when you are still so young?” Shang Ruifeng gritted his teeth in hatred and looked at the man in front of him.
Before the other party could react, Li Tianyan laughed first, “Haha, he’s not young anymore. This old guy’s lifespan should have expired long ago. Only one soul and three spirits were transferred into this body to allow him to live again. He could survive for a while.”
Because the man only had one soul and three spirits*, Li Tianyan didn’t notice it when he entered the secret realm. It wasn’t until he fought with the person just now that he realized the opponent’s aura was unstable.
[Chinese believes that inside a body there are three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are the consciousness (Yang) and seven spirits are the physical body’s function (Yin).]
“You actually saw it. Sure enough, my willingness to keep you for my use will be a disaster sooner or later. It will only ruin my good deeds.” A trace of murderous intent flashed in the man’s eyes, and his fists were clenched until veins popped out.
“Old guy, you didn’t even let go of your great-grandson in order to extend your life. You are really cruel and ruthless.” Li Tianyan didn’t care about the other party’s anger at all; he just shook his head and sighed.
This man’s body had been taken over by the soul of a warrior. Even if the soul of the evil warrior was extracted in the future, this man would probably become an insane fool.
“Pharmacist Li, are you saying that this man is... is...” Shang Ruifeng finally realized it at this time, and looked at the man who looked exactly like Hou Fengjun in front of him with a horrified expression. Could it be that the one soul and three spirits that Li Tianyan said were the same Hou Kangyu, the ancestor of the Hou family, was the power house who had been silent for two years.
“It’s the old guy from the Hou family whose life and death are unknown.” Li Tianyan finished the sentence for him with a smile.
This time, not only Shang Ruifeng, but also Lu Jinghuai, who was sitting under the tree adjusting his breath, was so shocked that his pupils shrank suddenly. Only Cheng Qi looked at this like a normal person.
.
Seeing that the plan was completely exposed, if these people were not silenced today, the Hou family would be the target of public criticism after leaving the secret realm. Hou Kangyu’s vitality stirred up, and a heavy Whale-Breaking Iron Ax appeared in his hand, and he took the lead in courting Shang Ruifeng. The sharp edge slashed through.
Li Tianyan had been on guard for a long time. He raised his silver spear and pursued him. He caught the ax attack before he got close to Shang Ruifeng. “Your opponent is here.”
“Then I will serve you well.” Hou Kangyu, with fierce eyes, turned the ax in his hand and slashed at Li Tianyan. The two immediately started fighting fiercely. This time it was obviously not just testing each other like before. Both sides were murderous and determined to fight to the death.
Both of them were old monsters who had lived for a long time, and their cultivation had been limited by the physical body. The momentum of the fight was not weak at all. The collision of vitality and spiritual power made an ear-splitting noise. Shang Ruifeng even felt the ground beneath his feet faintly shaking. Unexpectedly, Li Tianyan who usually calm and collected, was also a ruthless person when it came to fighting.

This battle was no longer something Shang Ruifeng could get involved in, so he had no choice but to walk in front of Lu Jinghuai and the little shuanger to protect them.
Seeing the true strength used by the two of them, Lu Jinghuai was glad that there were people like Li Tianyan in the secret realm; otherwise, no one would be able to resist this old guy. Even if the old man’s cultivation was limited, his strength was already out of his and Shang Ruifeng’s level.
Cheng Qi saw the ax in the man’s hand passing over Li Tianyan’s head several times, and his heart rose to his throat. However, Tan Eyu, who was staying in the soul-nurturing tree, only yawned and seemed not worried at all. Li Tianyan would not lose to this man.
The two of them went back and forth for dozens of rounds. Li Tianyan’s moves were still calm, but his opponent’s face was flushed, his steps were messy, and he was gradually declining. Hou Kangyu was becoming more and more frightened.
It didn’t take long for what was originally a fairly even battle to turn into a situation where Li Tianyan was unilaterally defeating his opponent. It turned out that Hou Kangyu’s energy accumulated in his body was exhausted and he was no longer able to fight against Li Tianyan.
Li Tianyan naturally discovered this, and the spear struck the opponent’s Dantian with a sweep, destroying the body’s spiritual veins.
Cheng Qi’s heart finally dropped when he saw this, but the soul-nurturing tree in his hand was almost broken in half by him. Tan Eyu inside was cursing, but Cheng Qi didn’t even listen.
