Story context
Get ready, because Chapter 675 is a high-octane, single-warrior massacre that firmly establishes Han Li as a name that makes even late-Core Formation cultivators wet themselves. We open in the middle of a pursuit: Han Li has decided, with trademark cold efficiency, that the witnesses to his earlier actions must be silenced. What follows is not a dramatic battle—it's a clinical, methodical elimination. One by one, the fleeing cultivators fall: a Core Formation woman turned to ash, a dark-robed man bisected by a single sword strike, a brocade-robed cultivator devoured by the upgraded Gold Devourer Beetles. But the final scene is a masterclass in Mortal Stream tension: we cut to a Foundation Establishment woman, Han Yunzhi of the Imperial Spirit Sect, staring at a tracking jade disk as the red dots representing her sect brothers and sisters vanish one by one. The chapter doesn't show Han Li arriving. It shows the fear *before* he arrives. *That's* the punch.
Why it matters
This chapter belongs entirely to the *spectacle of the power gap*. Every kill is a one-sided beating. Han Li is not a hero in a fight; he is a force of nature that other cultivators simply *die in the same room as*. The chapter builds its tension not through the slaying itself, but through Han Yunzhi's horrified observation from the other side. If you've been waiting for a chapter that confirms "Han Li is no longer a Core Formation hiding from Nascent Souls, but a Nascent Soul who makes other Nascent Souls think twice," this is it. Also, note his slight hesitation with the beetles—a hint that his swarms are becoming a two-edged sword. That's a quiet setup for future complications.
