At that time, the Blind Old Man said that he saw a pitch-black cloud hovering above his head; it was a sign that Wu Kun would meet his doom in the near future.
To be honest, Wu Kun had almost forgotten about it, since he thought that predictions are just erratic things.
Even if that were to become a reality, there was no way it would happen in this unnamed mountain, which he considered a non-threatening place.
However, how did a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator suddenly appear in this place?
Moreover, that person seemed to be chasing after him.
What did the hell happen?
Wu Kun just wanted to seriously investigate this mountain so that he could quickly complete his mission here.
But how was he suddenly being chased by this bunch of red-robed people?
Moreover, there was a Foundation Establishment Realm among them.
"Anyway, I need to quickly get away from that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!"
In a dense jungle, Wu Kun is moving very fast.
Suddenly, he felt a sudden tremor in his heart, and an inexplicable chill instantly swept across his body.
Before he could react, a sharp sword aura fell from the sky and shot towards where he was standing with great speed.
At this critical moment, a talisman on Wu Kun's hand suddenly shone with an aura and in a blink of an eye, formed a seemingly transparent magical light barrier in front of him.
Boom-
The sword aura fell directly on the light barrier and along came a loud noise as well as terrifying spiritual fluctuations as the shield and the sword aura negated each other.
The trees and rocks within several meters of the surrounding area were razed to the ground.
After the dust settled, Wu Kun lay down on the ground unharmed, but the talisman on his hand and the light barrier shielding him had disappeared.
However, at this moment, a figure in a red robe appeared out of thin air and stood on a towering ancient tree not far from him.
"Do you think you can escape from the Mid-Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm like me, jie jie jie~."
This red robe figure is Yin Jianhong, when he heard that there was an outsider on this mountain, he immediately set out from the sect to get rid the outsider.
Although Wu Kun ran very fast, it was effortless for Yin Jianhong to catch up with Wu Kun.
Initially, he thought that the other party is just an ordinary Qi Strengthening Realm cultivator; thus, he waved a sword Qi casually, intending to get rid of this person in one fell swoop.
But the scene that happened just now made his expression serious.
He saw clearly that when his sword aura fell, that person promptly activated a talisman in his hand, as a result forming a light protective barrier in front of him, which blocked his sword aura.
As an inner disciple of the Crimson Blood Sect, Yin Jianhong's eyesight is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.
He could tell at a glance that the talisman that Wu Kun activated was not an ordinary Rank 2 Talisman because it could block the Mid-Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator's attacks.
An ordinary Qi Strengthening Realm cultivator couldn't possibly have a talisman of this level unless this person has an unusual status.
So after seeing this Qi Strengthening Realm cultivator with this kind of protection talisman, Yin Jianhong couldn't help feeling hesitant.
He is deeply afraid that this Qi Strengthening Realm cultivator is a disciple or a descendant of a powerful cultivator's fancy and will cause disaster for himself.
However, the sect's orders are absolute. Yin Jianhong couldn't ignore them just out of fear.
While Yin Jianhong was hesitant, Wu Kun had already gotten up from the ground.
When he felt the coercion from Yin Jianhong that belonged to the cultivator in the Mid-Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm, his expression became gloomy.
Wu Kun thought that this person was only the Early-Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm, so he had little confidence to escape.
But he didn't expect that attack to be so powerful and threatening, so he had no choice but to use the life-saving talisman that his grandfather had given him.
His grandfather Wu Kun is a Late-Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator; giving a Rank 2 life-saving talisman to his grandson was a matter of course.
Now, with his Rank 2 life-saving talisman gone, how could he block the next attack?
Is he really going to die here as Blind Old Man had predicted?
No!
He would not accept such fate.
He suddenly regretted taking the mission on this mountain.
An icy and unwilling expression flashed in Wu Kun's eyes, staring closely at Yin Jianhong not far away.
Perceiving the strange color in Wu Kun's eyes, Yin Jianhong couldn't help frowning, and killing intent was immediately revealed in his eyes.
If his guess was correct, the other party shouldn't have any more life-saving talismans left.
Even if the other party still had another life-saving talisman, it would definitely not be on the same level as the previous one.
Therefore, killing this person is not a difficult thing for him.
Yin Jianhong strengthened the killing intent in his heart as he made up his mind.
His figure swept down from the tree, and the black sword in his hand was swung out again, and a black sword light several feet long slammed towards Wu Kun.
That attack carried a fierce sword aura and, while destroying everything up in the path, attacked the tiny person with an aura of destruction.
Looking at the overwhelming sword aura, Wu Kun naturally didn't stay still. He immediately activated another talisman.
boom-
Although the talisman he activated is also a Rank 2 talisman, it is much weaker than the previous one.
The sword light carrying the fierce sword aura fell on the light barrier that protected Wu Kun. However, it was too weak to withstand this attack and sent Wu Kun flying far back.
Boom-
Wu Kun coughed up blood as he tried to stand up.
"If it wasn't for that talisman of yours, you would have died a long time ago. It's nice to have a lot of money, jie jie jie~."
Yin Jianhong sneered coldly as he looked at the sorry figure of Wu Kun.
Wu Kun wiped the blood off his lips as he opened his mouth.
"This junior would never have thought that a dignified Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator would appear in this kind of place. This makes junior wonder what senior is doing here?"
"Jie jie jie~, people who are about to die don't need to know what they shouldn't know." Yin Jianhong smirked coldly.
"It's because this junior is about to die, so this junior has the right to at least know why this junior had to die at the hands of senior. This junior is a disciple of the Guardian Temple and was sent here to investigate the strange things that happened to this unnamed mountain. However, junior would never have expected coming here would lead to my death before I even completed the mission..."
"Therefore, if senior doesn't mind telling this junior, this junior will be grateful even if this junior dies at the hands of senior..."
"Oh, don't worry, senior, this junior won't do anything funny. This junior has nothing left but life. So please tell me!"
Wu Kun spoke the truth here. He had utterly resigned himself to this fate.
For a Qi Strengthening Realm cultivator Facing a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator moreover, that person was at the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm, was equivalent to facing death.
Wu Kun had no other way to escape this predicament. Even if he desperately ran away, he bet that this person could easily catch up with him.
Though he was about to die, he at least wanted to know why a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator had appeared on this barren mountain and came to kill him.
Yin Jianhong grinned and said eerily, "Very well, let me tell you why I killed you..."
"The reason is... nothing!"
"Huh?" Wu Kun widened his eyes as he didn't understand what the opposite party meant.
Yin Jianhong explained, "Even if I don't kill you today, you'll end up dying several hours later. You definitely haven't come out of this mountain yet, so you don't know what's really going on here..."
"While you're busy running from village to village, you didn't realize that this mountain has been shrouded in a formation called Blood Unity Formation since two days ago. Do you know the function of this formation? It is a formation to absorb the blood of all living beings within it without exception, and even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators would die if they were trapped in it..."
"Once it is fully absorbed, it will yield a precious treasure called Blood Source."
He spoke with a perverted expression like he was coveting that precious treasure.
"Blood Unity Formation... Blood Source... you-!"
When Wu Kun tried to repeat the two terms, suddenly, like being struck by lightning, he remembered something related to those terms.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "You- were you the mastermind behind the Stone Edge Mountain annihilation incident five years ago?"
"Stone Edge Mountain...?" Yin Jianhong muttered that name, then he smirked.
"Ah, I remember that place. Isn't that where the White Blood King's cattle are? Our Excellency Red Blood King has nothing to do with that site~."
