If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely wonder how this layer of light aura came to be.

Just a moment of hesitation would allow Li Banfeng to score a few rounds, and the battle would be over.

But He Haiqin is different; this man has been through countless battles and tempered in the Inner State. At this point, he doesn’t care about the origins; he’s focused on how to respond.

The Food Cultivator can take it. Despite the intense pain, He Haiqin lunges forward to grab Li Banfeng, opening his massive mouth to swallow Li Banfeng’s head.

Held tightly by He Haiqin, Li Banfeng cannot dodge, and watches as the big mouth comes towards his head.

Just a little bit, just a little bit more.

If He Haiqin really swallowed his head, no amount of tricks could help Li Banfeng escape this ordeal.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Li Banfeng freed his hands. One hand grabbed He Haiqin’s upper jaw, the other his lower jaw, and a burst of strength dislocated He Haiqin’s jaw.

He Haiqin was shocked. Li Qi is a Traveling Cultivator; how could he have such strength?

This is the Ninth Layer Technique of Home Cultivation, Expand Territory and Open Borders.

Li Banfeng didn’t master this technique well, but within the light aura, it’s no different than being within his home. In terms of speed and strength, he was on another level.

He Haiqin forcefully shook off Li Banfeng, reset his jaw with his left hand, and flicked a back scratcher from his sleeve with his right hand.

The back scratcher launched towards Li Banfeng’s face, and as Li Banfeng ducked, it automatically turned, extending its five fingers with nails over one inch long, aiming to grab Li Banfeng’s head.

He Haiqin was preparing to ambush. If Li Banfeng kept dodging, he would end up right in He Haiqin’s grasp.

The Tang Sword reacted swiftly, leaping out from Li Banfeng’s waistband, first blocking the back scratcher, and seeing He Haiqin approaching, it swung towards He Haiqin’s forehead.

He Haiqin dodged the Tang Sword, and the back scratcher clutched the blade’s body from behind.

The fingers of the back scratcher intertwined, twisting with force, intending to break the Tang Sword, which couldn’t break free for a moment.

The Clock Pendulum jumped out, striking the handle of the back scratcher, causing it to lose balance and release its force.

The Clock Pendulum and back scratcher battled, just having been refined with the Golden Beads, its speed significantly increased, and it fought back and forth with the back scratcher. The Tang Sword seized the opportunity from the side and sliced the back scratcher in half.

He Haiqin found himself in dire straits, Li Banfeng in front, the light aura behind. Crossing the aura would cause harm, but confronting Li Banfeng within it also meant suffering.

Opponents Li Banfeng faced in the past always hesitated within the light aura, but He Haiqin showed no hesitation, sacrificing a layer of flesh to leap directly out of the aura.

Li Banfeng praised inwardly, He Haiqin acted so decisively.

Jumping out was not a concern; chase him down to continue the fight.

Li Banfeng was faster than He Haiqin, as the aura once again slid below their feet, He Haiqin stuffed a stone from nearby into his mouth.

Gulp!

The stone settled into his stomach, making He Haiqin’s entire body as rugged and thick as a stone, barely harmed as the aura passed over.

Having eaten the stone, He Haiqin turned and dashed into Li Banfeng, seemingly a simple counterattack, but in fact, exerting full force, and the speed alone was hard to evade.

Li Banfeng braced himself with Benevolent and Righteous, yet was still dazed by He Haiqin’s impact. Taking advantage of Li Banfeng’s disorientation, He Haiqin opened his mouth to swallow the fallen back scratcher on the ground.

He extended his arms, nails lengthening, armed with claws aimed at Li Banfeng’s head.

Li Banfeng narrowly dodged, grabbed He Haiqin from behind, and used the Arrow Homing Skill.

Within the aura, equivalent to being inside the house, Li Banfeng already had the upper hand in strength, and combined with Arrow Homing, He Haiqin couldn’t withstand and was dragged to the door.

He Haiqin didn’t know where he was going, but knew he absolutely shouldn’t go into that door.

He struck a match, swallowed the flame, and ignited in a blazing fire from head to toe.

Li Banfeng’s clothes and hair caught fire as he continued dragging He Haiqin inside the house.

He Haiqin clutched the doorframe, refusing to go in.

The Phonograph instructed: "Ying Ying, a guest has arrived, shouldn’t you warmly welcome them?"

Hong Ying stepped forward, gazed through the flames at He Haiqin’s face, realizing the large mouth indicated he was a Food Cultivator.

She struck He Haiqin’s spine with a punch, prompting him to cry out in pain, vomiting everything he consumed earlier—food, stones, matches, back scratcher—all spilling out.

With this expulsion, the combat effectiveness of the Food Cultivator declined significantly, and the flames on his body extinguished.

Li Banfeng exerted force, dragging He Haiqin into the house and shutting the door.

He Haiqin immediately stood, faced a humanoid figure with a face like a sharp edge, and opened his mouth to devour.

Hong Ying stepped forward and kicked He Haiqin, flipping him onto the ground.

He Haiqin exclaimed in admiration: "What a powerful treasure!"

Hong Ying kicked again: "Who do you think is a treasure?"

He Haiqin’s chest bones shattered from the kick, clutching his chest, he glanced around.

This is a house.

Recalling Li Qi’s tactics, the floor has a light aura, within which combat power soars, clearly the combat techniques of Home Cultivation.

He Haiqin considered an apparently paradoxical yet singularly reasonable deduction: "Li Qi, are you a Dual Cultivation of Home and Traveling?"

Li Banfeng remained silent.

He Haiqin turned to Hong Ying: "You’re not a treasure; you’re his House Spirit!"

Hong Ying initially wanted to kick He Haiqin again, but found his words pleasant to hear, so she spared him.

He Haiqin was extremely shocked, such a thing exists; Home Traveling can truly pursue Dual Cultivation, no wonder Li Qi is so difficult, no wonder there are so many ruthless characters...
