Am I the only good person in this cultivation world?

He and the Blood Ant simultaneously unleashed the Clear Wind Technique. When the smoke and dust cleared, Yao Han's gaze sharpened.

Both the Blood Ant himself and the spirit beasts beside him were emanating incredibly rich blood energy, and even the spirit beasts' ranks had risen a notch!

Leaving aside the Azure Fang Wolf and the Ghost Cry Insect, that Hellfire Beast actually reached the edge of the fourth tier!

This is already incredibly close to the Foundation Establishment stage!

Moreover, this blood ant was no longer at the eighth level of cultivation, but suddenly rose to the ninth level, and its aura was still rising, subtly overshadowing Yao Han.

"What kind of technique is this?!"

He also knows spells that can enhance the strength of spirit beasts, such as the "Bloodline Return to Ancestor Technique" that can transform Xiao Yuan into a giant python.

However, Yao Han had never heard of a technique that allowed cultivators and spirit beasts to forcibly break through minor realms together!

"Fellow Daoist, you've killed so many of my beloved wolves, isn't it time for me to collect my debt?"

Blood Ant's voice echoed softly from beneath his robe, carrying a hint of mockery. He braced himself against the Fire Beast, flipped over, and mounted its back. He gripped the giant scythe that had been hanging behind him and charged menacingly toward Yao Han.

We cannot force a defense; we must retreat!

With a flick of his fingers, a chilling wind swept by, and he used the Corpse Step technique to leap to the side of the wolf corpse he had just slain.

Seeing Yao Han suddenly disappear from his spot, the Blood Ant was stunned for a moment, but immediately locked onto his location again. The Demon Wolf and the Ghost Insect took the lead and pressed forward step by step.

Yao Han stepped onto the tree beside him and leaped onto the branch in a few steps. The two wolves missed their target and instead began to bite and tear at the tree trunk.

In a short while, the tree fell down. Yao Han took advantage of the momentum to leap down. Just as he was about to raise the Burning Shadow Whip to deal with the two of them, the Blood Ants arrived riding the Hellfire Beast.

The fire beast raised its head and spewed out a stream of crimson-purple spiritual fire from its mouth, which adhered to the giant scythe in its hand. With the power of this fire, the scythe and the whip clashed fiercely, and neither side gained the upper hand.

"A top-tier magic artifact, indeed extraordinary. However, this thing will soon be mine."

Blood Ant grinned menacingly, his giant scythe dancing in mid-air, creating two fiery rings. He slapped the back of the Hellfire Beast like a horse galloping towards Yao Han.

Yao Han could see clearly that his scythe was a high-grade magic weapon, but he didn't know what material it was made of that could fuse with the spiritual fire of the Hellfire Beast. With the two complementing each other, it could actually contend with a top-grade magic weapon.

Whip-shaped magical weapons excel in their flexibility and ability to deflect force, as well as their versatility and unpredictability. However, in a direct confrontation between weapons of the same level, they are slightly inferior to swords and sabers in terms of sharpness.

Yao Han temporarily wrapped the Burning Shadow Whip around his arm, then grabbed another explosive talisman and spirit stones.

The two had now fought their way into the mountains and forests. Another wave of flames shot into the sky, and swathes of ancient trees crashed down with the explosion. Blood Ants were forced to take cover, and then "Beast Swatter" caught up.

Once the distance between the two had closed again, he threw out a handful of spirit stones and explosive talismans.

"you--"

Before the blood ant could utter its words, it was engulfed by the raging flames.

Once the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, the blood ants caught up again. Yao Han casually tossed another handful of spirit stones behind him, this time without even adding any detonating talismans.

"I thought you were some kind of expert, but all you can do is run away—"

"boom!!!"

"Stop! I—"

"boom!!!"

"Do you dare to face me directly—"

"boom!!!"

The blood ant was utterly enraged.

"How do you have so many spirit stones?!"

Yao Han remained silent, only throwing spirit stones at the ground.

Blood Ant trembled with rage. Although the Hellfire Beast protected him and the exploding spirit stones did not cause him much harm, he was still covered in dust and smoke.

He had never seen anyone fight like this before!

Moreover, the person who threw this stone was not an ordinary spirit stone, but a superior one, containing extraordinary spiritual power, so he had no choice but to dodge.

In just a short while, the spirit stones he threw out were enough to buy the knife in his hand!

What kind of good-for-nothing son of a bitch came out of some remote mountain village?

"Fine, fine, you like fried food, huh? Well, I'll make sure you can't fry it!"

Blood Ant flicked his left hand across his right wrist, and two more Ghost Cry Insects appeared beside him. He forced out a few drops of blood essence from his fingertips and fused them into the insects' bodies. Suddenly, the aura of the four ghost insects became even stronger, and their speed increased. They flapped their wings and buzzed as they rushed towards Yao Han.

The insects were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye they were right in front of Yao Han. He slowed his pace and summoned the Netherworld Veil and the Golden Light Shield for temporary defense.

These ghost-crying worms are extremely poisonous, and there are very few antidotes; you must never get bitten by them.

The moment the golden shield clashed with the poisonous insects, wisps of chilling white smoke rose from its surface, soon shattering into a sky full of golden light. On the contrary, the Netherworld Veil proved to be of great use, its flowing black mist completely neutralizing the poisonous insects' attacks, though the veil itself was also stained with some poisonous gas.

Yao Han gasped; this ghost-crying bug truly lived up to its name.

At the same time, his weakness was exposed at this moment—the technique he was currently practicing was too weak in combat.

The speed of progress is indeed fast, but it is clearly insufficient when facing a life-or-death battle like the one before us.

To gain a sliver of hope for victory, we must rely on other means at our disposal.

The four insects were incredibly fast, and Yao Han was in a rather disheveled state. He didn't have time to take out spirit stones from his storage bag, so he could only passively defend himself with the Netherworld Silk, the constantly condensing light shield, and the golden sword, retreating all the way.

"What, you have no other means?"

Blood Ant sat atop the Hellfire Beast, mockingly saying:

"Where's your top-tier magic weapon? Why aren't you using it anymore?"

What do you think?

Yao Han asked indifferently, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

That's about it...

"What?"

A sense of unease rose in the blood ant's heart, and he looked around.

"Hmph, playing tricks, prepare to die!"

He leaped off the Hellfire Beast, and the two attacked Yao Han simultaneously. Crimson flames and scythe blades intertwined, creating a fierce and terrifying display!

Just as Yao Han was about to perish here, a sudden change occurred!

The once sunny and breezy mountain forest suddenly became extremely dark. Dark clouds covered the hillside, and a fierce wind swept across the clear sky, with countless wind blades sweeping in from all directions, making people feel cold all over and unable to open their eyes.

The sudden gust of wind made the blood ant stop moving. After a brief moment of defense, it discovered that Yao Han had already disappeared.

"It's a formation! We were careless!"

He immediately realized what was happening and tried to recall his spirit beast, only to find that the raging wind also had the effect of isolating divine sense, leaving him standing alone in the same spot.

Blood Ant remained calm, took out a talisman from its storage bag, affixed it to its body for temporary defense, and stood silently in place, pondering as if searching for a weakness.

Yao Han, who was standing outside the formation, breathed a sigh of relief.

He had previously feigned defeat, but in reality, he wanted to lure this person into the formation: while running wildly, he sent out several strands of his divine sense, allowing the puppets to set up formation flags in all directions, just waiting to lure the enemy into the trap.

This person is extremely difficult to deal with, and has a wealth of combat experience, making him more powerful than any Qi Refining cultivator he has encountered before.

If it weren't for the fact that I happened to anger him, it would have been really difficult to lure him into this great formation.

However, now that he's already in the fray, it's up to him to decide what to do next.
