A swift ray of light shot towards the running young woman. Her eyes were unfocused, and she was already severely wounded, so she didn't even try to dodge. Or rather, even if she wanted to, she was powerless.

Mo Wuji raised his hand and shot out a burst of sword qi. The light aimed at the woman's back was struck by the sword qi and immediately dissipated.

Mo Wuji looked at his fingers, thinking that this Formless Sword Technique was just like the Six Meridian Divine Sword, invisible and intangible. It was a pity that this was a cultivation continent. Formless sword qi sounded impressive, but in reality, its power was not as great as his lightning-based techniques unless he could make the formless sword qi directly tear through space...

The moment he thought about making the formless sword qi tear through space, Mo Wuji couldn't suppress the urge any longer. He wished he could immediately go into seclusion to study it.

"Thank you for saving my life..." The young woman had already arrived nearby. Her voice was hoarse, and she was swaying unsteadily. Rong He was quick to support her.

"Are you planning to oppose us?" The black-clad man who was chasing the woman had arrived nearby. He didn't immediately attack, but swept his gaze over Mo Wuji, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone.

If it weren't for Mo Wuji's Formless Sword, which made him doubt Mo Wuji's true cultivation level, he would have already attacked. As a True Lake Realm expert, how could he fear a few Yuan Dan cultivators?

Mo Wuji didn't immediately give the woman a healing pill, but looked at Pang Qi and the others, "Brother Pang, what do you think?"

The guy who came to chase them was a True Lake Initial Stage cultivator, and Mo Wuji wasn't afraid at all. The reason he asked this was to know what Pang Qi and the others thought. If Pang Qi felt that this matter shouldn't be interfered with, he would immediately separate from them.

Even if this woman was deliberately trying to form a good relationship by giving them each a token to enter the Starry Sky Battlefield, it was still a kindness to Mo Wuji. Whether it was a great kindness or a small one, it was the same.

Pang Qi laughed and said without hesitation, "Since I have received Madam Chu's favor, what does it matter if he is a True Lake Realm expert? I have even been chased by a Void God Realm cultivator before!"

The black-clad man chasing the woman had an astonishing aura. Pang Qi, with his experience, could tell at a glance that the opponent was a True Lake Realm expert.

Xiong Xingteng stood next to Pang Qi, and Rong He supported the woman as she retreated a few steps.

Mo Wuji waved his hand, directly grabbed the Heavenly Mechanism Staff, and walked to the front, "Brother Pang, cover me. I want to see how much stronger a True Lake Realm cultivator is than me."

Although Mo Wuji had killed a True Lake Realm cultivator before, and even Void God and True God Realm cultivators, that didn't count as his true strength. Now he was at the twelfth level of the Yuan Dan Realm, only one step away from entering the True Lake Realm, and he wanted to know how much difference there was between him and a True Lake Realm cultivator.

When Pang Qi saw Mo Wuji stepping forward alone, a flash of surprise passed through his eyes. He then said to Xiong Xingteng, "Xingteng, the two of us will stand on either side. If Brother Mo is at a disadvantage, we will attack at the same time."

"Okay." Xiong Xingteng directly grabbed a giant hammer. He was the shortest in stature, but used the most exaggerated weapon.

Seeing that he had failed to scare Mo Wuji and the others, the True Lake Realm cultivator stopped talking and two streams of saber light swept towards Mo Wuji.

For True Lake Realm cultivators, the Golden Core had already shattered, forming an ocean of true essence. No matter how powerful a Yuan Dan Realm cultivator was, the essence of their Golden Core couldn't compare to an ocean of true essence. The Yuan Dan Realm cultivator's essence burst forth from a single point, while the True Lake Realm cultivator's essence truly swept over the sky and covered the earth.

These two streams of saber light from the True Lake Realm cultivator didn't seem much stronger than those of an ordinary Yuan Dan Realm cultivator. Only Mo Wuji, who was in the midst of it, knew that the space around him was entirely the opponent's true essence field.

This kind of restraint from the true essence field was fatal to Yuan Dan Realm cultivators. No matter how dense the Yuan Dan Realm cultivator's essence was, they couldn't break free from the True Lake Realm cultivator's true essence field in a hurry. Because of this, True Lake Realm cultivators could generally kill Yuan Dan Realm cultivators instantly.

This seemingly simple principle represented the gap between realms.

Unfortunately, this Yuan Dan Realm cultivator was facing Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was still at the twelfth level of the Yuan Dan Realm, and he didn't have a Golden Core in his body at all. Although he hadn't formed a true lake, he had formed a cloud of violet energy.

At the same time as the True Lake Realm cultivator's true essence field swept over him, Mo Wuji's violet energy instantly erupted. All one hundred and two meridians simultaneously surged with essence, a level of intensity that no Yuan Dan Realm cultivator could achieve.

"Boom boom boom boom!" The violent essence and true essence field collided together, exploding across the sky. The surrounding gravel and sand were blasted into the air.

"Clang!" The Heavenly Mechanism Staff swept onto the two incoming saber beams, scattering light in all directions.

It seemed simple, just block the saber light with the Heavenly Mechanism Staff. The True Lake Realm cultivator was very clear that if one couldn't move freely under his true essence field, blocking his saber light was a pipe dream. The real battle between them wasn't a clash of the Heavenly Mechanism Staff and saber light, but a battle between the true essence field and essence.

The true essence field was torn apart by Mo Wuji's violet cloud power. Mo Wuji felt no restraint at all, and the Heavenly Mechanism Staff swung down towards the top of the True Lake Realm cultivator's head, creating a series of staff shadows.

"You are also a True Lake..." The True Lake Realm cultivator's heart trembled violently. He hadn't expected Mo Wuji to be a True Lake Realm expert.

When cultivators reached a certain level, even if the opponent had a concealing technique and he couldn't see through their cultivation level, as long as the opponent's strength was lower than his, he could vaguely sense the opponent's level. Previously, the True Lake Realm cultivator couldn't see Mo Wuji's true strength, but he could feel that Mo Wuji's strength should still be below the True Lake Realm.

But now, Mo Wuji had easily broken his True Lake Realm true essence field and then counterattacked, so he knew he was wrong. The other party should be a True Lake Realm expert.

The long saber transformed into a saber rainbow again, colliding with Mo Wuji's Heavenly Mechanism Staff, "Boom" a tremor rippled outwards. The powerful backlash of true essence sent Mo Wuji staggering back several steps.

"You are actually not True Lake..." The True Lake Realm cultivator was not much better off than Mo Wuji, and he retreated even further. At this moment, his face was filled with shock. If Mo Wuji was a True Lake Realm expert, he wouldn't be so shocked. But Mo Wuji wasn't True Lake, and a Yuan Dan Realm cultivator could fight him to a standstill, which was simply too unbelievable.

Just now, Mo Wuji's true essence was thick and grand, obviously not the eruption of True Lake Realm essence.

He absolutely couldn't let this person live. Thinking of this, the True Lake Realm cultivator turned to leave. The reason he couldn't let Mo Wuji live wasn't that he wanted to deal with Mo Wuji, but that he wanted to tell the people above about this matter. After exchanging a few blows with Mo Wuji, he knew he couldn't kill him. The appearance of such a heaven-defying Yuan Dan Realm cultivator here would be a disaster for all of them once he grew up.

"Trying to leave?" Mo Wuji waved his Heavenly Mechanism Staff again, unleashing several staff shadows and throwing out more than a dozen bolts of thunder out of thin air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." More than a dozen powerful thunderbolts exploded in the True Lake Realm cultivator's path of retreat. If the True Lake Realm cultivator wanted to continue to retreat, he would have to be seriously injured by Mo Wuji's thunderbolts.

The True Lake Realm cultivator didn't expect Mo Wuji to be so insidious. His strength wasn't inferior to his, yet he still used despicable scheming tactics in battle. The more this kind of person was, the more dangerous he was.

If it was just a challenge across levels, that was one thing. But a cultivator who could challenge across levels and was also very insidious, the threat would be ten times greater.

The True Lake Realm cultivator wanted to retreat as soon as possible. Dealing with this insidious Yuan Dan Realm cultivator required a True Lake Realm Late Stage cultivator, or even a Void God Realm expert. A True Lake Realm Second Stage cultivator like him could only retreat with his life at most.

Fortunately, after realizing Mo Wuji's insidiousness, this True Lake Realm cultivator had already guessed that his retreat wouldn't be easy. Before he even retreated, the long saber had already swept out two streams of saber light.

"Boom boom!" As expected, the long saber blocked the Heavenly Mechanism Staff, and once again, a sky-full of true essence exploded.

Even though his cultivation level was stronger than Mo Wuji's and he had blocked Mo Wuji's second scheme, the True Lake Realm cultivator became more and more afraid as he fought.

He didn't know when Mo Wuji's third scheme would arrive. What he hated most was this kind of extremely insidious fighting style. If he had the ability, he would fight in a straightforward manner...

Wait, it seemed like they were fighting in a straightforward manner just now, and he was the one who wanted to escape. The True Lake Realm cultivator's heart sank. He knew he had lost the initiative and shouldn't have tried to escape. Even if he wanted to escape, he had to gain the upper hand first.

No matter how you scheme, I won't escape this time. I'll rely on my true ability to fight you. The True Lake Realm cultivator had made up his mind. The long saber brought out large swaths of saber light, and he decided to keep a close eye on Mo Wuji and fight him head-on. He believed that even if Mo Wuji was heaven-defying, he couldn't suppress him.

But when the True Lake Realm cultivator's long saber brought out a powerful true essence saber light, he froze. Mo Wuji, who had been scheming against him just now and had been thwarted by him, was gone.

Not good, it's a concealment technique.

Breaking a concealment technique in battle was very simple, and that was the true essence field. The True Lake Realm cultivator regretted it greatly. He shouldn't have tried to escape earlier. Because he wanted to escape, he had retracted his true essence field. Otherwise, even if the opponent wasn't afraid of his true essence field, they wouldn't be able to use concealment techniques under the true essence field.

Before his true essence field could be stretched out again, a terrifying aura had already arrived at his right waist.

The True Lake Realm cultivator's heart relaxed. He had finally appeared. Fortunately, his strength far exceeded the opponent's. The next moment, he knew he had relaxed too early. The terrifying aura hadn't even reached his right waist, or rather, just as he wanted to dodge this aura, a violent explosion appeared in his dantian.

More thunder...

The True Lake Realm cultivator was furious in his heart. He felt his true essence flowing away madly, and then slowly dissipating. Fighting this kind of person was too tiring, constantly having to worry about schemes. The terrifying aura on his right waist just now was also fake. If he had another chance, he would rather fight a True Lake Realm Late Stage cultivator than fight this despicable Yuan Dan Realm cultivator.

At this moment, an iron staff tore through the space and slammed onto the top of his head. Even though the opponent was seriously injured, Mo Wuji didn't want to give him any chance.

"Puff!" Blood splattered, Mo Wuji put away his concealment formation plate, and his figure appeared at this time.
