Pang Qingshi did not bother with everyone else; Shi Wuzhe and the Floating Life Bell were one of her trump cards. She would not have wanted to use them so soon if not for the urgent situation, especially since both were not something she could fully deploy or use at her current stage.

"Here it comes!"

Uncle Orange suddenly bristled, his eyes and brows filled with tension as he stared intently toward the south of the Floating Cloud Ship.

Everyone hurriedly looked in that direction, only to see a fiery red comet speeding by at a velocity their cultivations could hardly capture.

The unimaginable high temperatures around the comet ignited everything, turning it all into crimson flames that enveloped the comet itself!

Liang Yi felt that if it hadn't come from the south, but had fallen from the sky instead, he would have thought it was a star falling.

"It doesn't seem to be heading for us."

Wan Tinggui observed carefully for a while before slowly exhaling, steering the Floating Tower Ship to avoid the trajectory of the red comet far away.

He was terrified that this unnatural comet would directly smash their precious tower ship into pieces, a loss that would grieve Wan Tingting's shareholders.

From a distance, they could only sense that this person was heading in their direction, but it was only when they got closer did they realize there was a slight deviation.

"This aura...it seems somewhat familiar..."

Liang Yi's murmur did not escape the ears of the others.

"Indeed, I have the same feeling."

Su Youyi also wrinkled her delicate nose, feeling a strange sense of familiarity from the force of the comet's passing.

The rest also stared intently at the comet racing towards them, their hearts filled with a measure of doubt.

"It's Xia Kun!"

Liang Yi had a flash of Spirit Light, suddenly realizing the truth.

Following Liang Yi's prompt, everyone then widened their eyes in realization – wasn't this the same Xia Kun they had previously encountered in Beimo?

Liang Yi unfolded a map and extended Xia Kun's route, discovering that his destination should be the Shij Domain in the north of the domain-controlled by Kui Ming, which was also Xia Kun's base.

"It looks like he's injured and carrying a treasure with him, which is why his aura is erratic, preventing us from recognizing him immediately."

Ke Mengzhan carefully sensed Xia Kun's current state before suddenly speaking up.

"Just injured?"

Liang Yi felt somewhat helpless; after an honorable group beating under the advantage of both Emperor Zhou and Bodhi, Xia Kun was only injured and not in any danger to his life.

The Life Force of a Body Cultivation was truly terrifying!

"However, his condition definitely can't be good, or he wouldn't be rushing back in such a hurry."

Su Youyi keenly pointed out the contradiction in the scenario.

If he were lively and carefree after the fight, why would he be in such a rush to return?

Xia Kun had appeared from the Abyssal Rift and entered the field of vision of Liang Yi and the others within a few breaths; while they exchanged a few words, he disappeared from the northern horizon, unaware of everyone else's presence.

At this moment, the streaming light contained Xia Kun, who looked troubled as he clutched his chest – the blood flow had already stopped, but he still felt chillingly cold.

Because at his chest was now a void, his heart had long disappeared, replaced by a golden dragon shadow and a huge golden "卐" symbol!

The sound of chanting emanating from the "卐" symbol, faint though it was, annoyed Xia Kun immensely, and his chest burned painfully!

The golden dragon shadow coiled around the golden "卐" radiated Infinite Light, as if it was the Big Sun itself, intertwining Buddhist and Immortal Dynasty's might to form the Big Sun True Fire that fiercely consumed Xia Kun's Life Force!

Xia Kun, facing two alone, of course, found it far from easy; they were all Body Cultivation practitioners, beings with unstoppable killing power.

Either you smash me to death, or I smash you!

Emperor Zhou and Bodhi knew all too well how rare this opportunity was, and without any semblance of chivalry, they went straight for the kill! The treasures of their sects, not spared in the least, were thrown out without a second thought, taking any chance to weaken Xia Kun and catching him completely off guard.

"I was careless and did not dodge."

Xia Kun truly regretted it, feeling that he had been overly confident, allowing these two to launch a sneak attack on him.

In the end, Xia Kun had no choice but to use the trump card he had originally reserved for Chen Hua, fending off Emperor Zhou and Bodhi after a struggle, and tearing open the Buddha realm in his palm to quickly retreat back to the Abyss.
