Before long, the two had already left Qingchuan Prefecture City.

They stopped in a forest where the ground was covered with red fallen leaves.

This place is called Red Leaf Forest and is a rather famous spot around Qingchuan Prefecture.

However, because wolves often appear here, usually, only martial artists dare to come.

The two sprinted in the Red Leaf Forest, finally.

Swoosh.

The person in front suddenly halted, stopping, and turned around.

Only then did he fully reveal his complete figure.

This man was broad and tall, his muscles as thick as city walls, his skin dark, and his face covered with burn scars.

"You truly are a Grandmaster of the Jade Void Palace, bold and reckless. Drawn out so easily by me, are you extremely confident in your capabilities?"

This person was none other than Zuo Han.

"I originally thought I would never see my enemy from those years again, but... fate has its ways, even when having a meal, I stumbled upon my old foe!"

Zuo Han touched the burn scars on his face.

He wasn't speaking nonsense; these burn scars on his face were left from that battle years ago.

Back then, he was still young, small, and powerless, only able to watch as his master perished in the battle. His body was set on fire, yet he didn't make a sound, leading the enemy to believe he was dead, allowing him to escape.

This is why his entire body is so dark, with no hair, and his face scarred from burns.

Since then, he swore he would have revenge.

This is also why the Sensing Sect has an innate grudge against Jade Void Palace.

So when Zhang Rongfang mentioned this, he immediately accepted without hesitation.

"Haha... I have too many enemies, who might you be?" Shang Dingye sneered.

"You don't need to know who I am," Zuo Han said icily, "you just need to know, you're going to die soon! That's all....."

Boom!

In an instant, he stomped the ground, causing a tremor, countless red leaves flew up behind.

Amidst the swirling leaves, Zuo Han crossed over ten meters in a blink, throwing a punch at his opponent.

Clang!!!

The two exchanged fists and palms, trading over ten moves in the blink of an eye.

"Hahahaha! So it's trash from the Sensing Sect, back then your Left and Right Guardians were brutally killed by our Jade Void Palace Master in person, and now you dare show yourselves, truly courting death!!"

"Since you're seeking death, this sect will gladly oblige!"

The two fought quickly, their fist and palm shadows flickering, already becoming phantom images, impossible to capture.

The thundering impacts continuously shook the surrounding trees, sending leaves raining down with a whisper.

A large number of red leaves scattered, like red rain, blown away once they came within a meter of the two.

Just upon making contact, Shang Dingye realized something was wrong, his opponent's strength was immense... and clearly had trained in Hard Skill.

After tens of hard exchanges, his fists already began to feel slightly hot and painful.

"Hard Skill, is it? Interesting, let me show you the true heritage that makes the Shang family one of the Twelve Sect Mansions!"

Shang Dingye was undeterred. He quickly stepped back several paces.

Since his strength was less than his opponent's, he would enhance his own!!

Hiss!

Suddenly, his entire body rapidly swelled and grew, his clothes tearing apart.

Originally only two meters tall, he quickly shot up fifty centimeters, reaching two and a half meters, now almost the same height as Zuo Han.

At the same time, strips of silver threads began to emerge on his body surface.

But unlike the Extreme State of the Western Sect, his Extreme State, didn't turn his entire body black. It only made his skin flush slightly red due to rapid Qi and Blood circulation.

"Our Shang family is famous for strength among the Twelve Sect Mansions, what do you have to win against me!!?" Shang Dingye roared wildly, stomping the ground, charging toward Zuo Han like a cannonball.

At the same time, Zuo Han's complexion also turned serious.

He swiftly raised his hand, his entire body's muscles trembling slightly.

Thin black lines rapidly surfaced across his body, but given his dark skin, they were hardly visible.

However, if someone from the Thousand Stone Sect was present, they would have realized he had activated one of the Extreme States from the Golden Stone Skill—Stone Pool.

Boom!

The two crashed against each other again.

The intense air currents were compressed and exploded outward like an air bomb, blowing the fallen leaves all around them into a large circle.

"Just a mere Sensing Sect! Daring to be arrogant in front of me!!"

Shang Dingye's face was fierce, veins bulging all over, his eyes wide open, with a faint silver line emerging between his brows, as if a third eye was about to open.

At this moment, his strength was almost unstoppable by Zuo Han.

Every punch, every strike, was over twice as heavy as before.

And accompanying his attacks, there seemed to be strands of strange white mist. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

This mist was silent and stealthily spread around them.

By the time he noticed it, the white mist had almost encompassed him.

"This is!? The mist!?" Zuo Han's pupils contracted, the mist served to isolate perception and weaken the opponent's state.

He dared not delay, simultaneously deploying the second Extreme State.

The second Extreme State of the Golden Stone Skill is called Guard Stone.

Though named Guard Stone, compared to Stone Pool, the changes were far more apparent this time.

In the sound of crackling, countless black lines surfaced across Zuo Han's back in an instant, weaving into a black crescent moon pattern.

At the same time, a silver line also slowly surfaced on his forehead and between his brows.

"A trifling mist!!" Seeing the mist, it was as if he recalled the scene of his master being killed years ago.

Back when the main hall of the Thousand Stone Sect was ablaze, his master fought blood-soaked, yet still was vanquished by that terrifying, god-like figure.

He was at that time young, even as the hiding place caught fire, he dared not utter a sound. The only thing he remembered was the hallmark feature of the Jade Void Palace—mist.
