When the one-time formation talisman that Zi Xing purchased with thirty Tai Chi Star Coins was consumed, he decisively activated another one-time teleportation talisman!

Spatial rule power at the Saint Realm level enveloped Zi Xing, causing his figure to instantly vanish from the spot.

"What skillful methods! He actually has such high-quality Saint Realm talismans!"

Liu Zhi was quite astonished by Zi Xing's talismans, and that spatial rule talisman especially surprised him. This proved that this God Realm Sea had cultivators who practiced spatial rules, and they were Saint-level talisman masters, otherwise ordinary Saint talisman masters couldn't possibly refine talismans containing spatial rules.

Watching the enemy escape right before his eyes meant he couldn't complete the squad leader's mission.

He glanced at Tian Qi, who was still trapped in the formation.

After only a moment's hesitation, he decided to pursue this native. Just as Tian Qi had said, he was merely an early-stage native. Even if he possessed some talismans, he definitely wouldn't be their match!

Sensing the residual spatial rule fluctuations, he similarly took out a spatial rule talisman and activated it on the spot!

He directly followed Zi Xing's teleportation fluctuations to track him.

Liu Zhi smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth. How could the native imagine that they all carried spatial talismans? Escaping with spatial talismans meant there was no escape at all!

Instantly, his figure also disappeared without a trace.

After traversing through space for quite some distance.

Liu Zhi appeared in another region of starry space.

Zi Xing was sitting cross-legged on an ordinary star, resting and recovering his magical power. Seeming to sense something, he immediately looked up and made eye contact with Liu Zhi.

Zi Xing's expression changed dramatically: "How could you catch up!"

"Where do you think you can escape to?"

Liu Zhi chuckled lightly, wasting no words as he transformed into a streak of light and instantly closed in on Zi Xing.

Zi Xing stood up, about to flee elsewhere.

But how would Liu Zhi let him escape?

"Rule Domain, Gravity Space!"

Liu Zhi pointed with his finger, and the surrounding heaven and earth transformed into a gravity domain, with gravity directions differing at every position. The distorted gravity made Zi Xing's movements as slow as a snail!

Liu Zhi instantly stepped onto the star, unhesitatingly drawing a long spear and thrusting directly at Zi Xing!

Zi Xing's face showed a mixture of shock and fury, his eyes revealing a frenzied expression.

"You're looking for death!"

Zi Xing raised his palm high, gathering a ball of starlight in his palm that blasted toward Liu Zhi.

But Liu Zhi advanced with his spear, easily shattering the starlight. The light bloomed behind Liu Zhi but failed to harm him.

Just as the spear was about to pierce Zi Xing, Liu Zhi's originally calm eyes flashed with surprise.

He saw that Zi Xing had somehow already draped himself in a purple robe!

Purple rule patterns continuously shimmered on the garment, forming a layer of purple defensive light shield.

When Liu Zhi's attack landed on the shield, the rule power was weakened by ninety percent!

The remaining ten percent of the attack couldn't break through the purple robe's defense either, only the impact force sent Zi Xing flying backward.

Meanwhile, Zi Xing drew a sword with his other hand and slashed at Liu Zhi. This sword was also a Hunyuan treasure, a beam of starlight forcing Liu Zhi back dozens of miles.

Although Liu Zhi wasn't injured, he already sensed something was wrong!

In the blink of an eye!

A large formation suddenly took shape, surrounding Liu Zhi within it.

Liu Zhi turned around and saw two unfamiliar Saint Realm cultivators had already launched thunderous attacks!

Liu Zhi completely realized he had fallen into an ambush!

He had actually fallen so easily for such a lure-the-enemy-deeper trap!

However, Liu Zhi remained calm and composed, not panicking excessively. His strength was considerable, enough to confront late-stage native Saint Realm cultivators.

These three were merely at mid-stage and early-stage!

Yet, events often diverge from expectations.

Star Dust Elder executed an advanced Dao technique.

His aura reached its ultimate sublimation, instantly rising to the late-stage level!

Magical power burning!

Consumption increased ten thousandfold!

But his cultivation temporarily elevated to Hunyuan late-stage!

Around Star Dust Elder appeared a full nine flying swords, each reaching the treasure level!

He activated these nine swords with his late-stage magical power, using the Big Dipper Formation to bombard Liu Zhi!

Meanwhile, Yin Xing beside him also attacked with full force, consuming over half of his internal magical power to activate the pair of treasure gloves in his hands. His hands seemed capable of plucking stars as they gathered an ultimate star spear in his palms, fiercely shooting it at Liu Zhi.

Both had been holding back their ultimate moves for a long time, just waiting for the right moment to unleash them!

Liu Zhi happened to be forced back a step by Zi Xing's counterattack, leaving him no time to counter the two men's attacks. He could only activate the armor on his body, attempting to block this assault!

But the formation's arrangement was no trivial matter!

The formation's power instantly suppressed Liu Zhi's strength and defensive capabilities, making it difficult for him to display his true level.

Meanwhile, the attacks from Star Dust Elder and the others received the formation's enhancement.

With one side weakened and the other strengthened.

The terrifying attack tore through Liu Zhi's defenses, blasting into his body.

Liu Zhi's body instantly exploded, fragments transforming into hundreds of figures fleeing in all directions.

But the three were well prepared!

"Falling Stars Barrage!"

The three jointly activated the formation's power!

Tens of thousands of falling meteors descended, solidly striking the hundreds of figures.

"No!"

Liu Zhi screamed in terror, but his body exploded into dust along with the falling stars!

Though this all sounds like it took a long time, it actually completed within a single breath!

Liu Zhi's demise was extremely rapid!

Star Dust, Yin Xing, and Zi Xing had all expended tremendous energy. They had attacked with full force from the start, with no probing process whatsoever. Particularly Star Dust, who had used an advanced Dao technique, found his magical power completely depleted!

"Let's go!" Star Dust Elder said urgently!

The three hastily collected Liu Zhi's remains, then all activated the Hidden Walker Dao technique, before gathering the formation and quickly escaping!

That ordinary star had long been reduced to ashes in the battle, all traces completely erased from the location!

Only five breaths later.

Tian Qi teleported over. Scanning the surroundings, he could clearly sense that intense battle aftermath still lingered nearby!

Yet in his field of vision, there were no traces of Liu Zhi or Zi Xing!

At that moment, the squad leader's communication came through!

Tian Qi immediately accepted it.

"What happened to you? How did Liu Zhi fall?" the leader asked urgently.

Tian Qi said in shock: "Liu Zhi is dead?"

"What exactly happened?" the leader asked discontentedly.

Tian Qi took a deep breath: "I was just trapped by one of their formation talismans for a few breaths. When I got out, I only sensed a trace of spatial teleportation fluctuations. I just teleported over and discovered some battle aftermath, but both Liu Zhi and that native's figures have completely disappeared!"

"Damn it, you fell for their scheme! Liu Zhi is usually so cautious, why was he so reckless this time!" The leader's tone was filled with utter bewilderment.

A flash of embarrassment crossed Tian Qi's face—it seemed Liu Zhi had died in his place.
