Boom!
Yang Ji burst out from the ground, causing the middle-aged man who had followed his sensing to be taken aback for a moment.
"You little guy sure knows what's best for you," the middle-aged man sneered. "I was just about to tear open the ground and grab you, but you coming out is perfect, die!"
The middle-aged man smirked, Dao Principles surging within him, and in an instant, a giant black claw materialized, snatching at the air towards Yang Ji.
Yang Ji's expression was cold and indifferent, Spiritual Light flashed behind him, and with a light tremble of the Wings of Time-Space, he uttered a single word: "Stop."
In an instant, the time-space around the middle-aged man was imprisoned.
Boom!
A burst of explosion followed, and the middle-aged man was shocked to find his body erupting into pieces.
His lingering consciousness quickly dissipated as well.
