And he was at the Mid Stage Golden Core himself, with an aptitude for escaping that was still quite remarkable. Recall the time after the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm ended; he had faced the pursuit of Mid Stage Golden Core cultivator Song Hanchun and the two brothers of the Jin Family.
Under such circumstances, he had also managed to escape.
Although the current situation was even worse, with opponents that were clearly a notch stronger, if Ding Yongjin desperately blocked them for a moment, once he broke out of the encirclement, there was still a chance to evade the pursuit of Han Hu and the others.
It could be said that he was still at the peak of his strength, and he still harbored a sliver of hope for escape.
Besides, anyone who managed to cultivate to his realm at the age of over four hundred years could not possibly claim to be unafraid of death.
Given even a slight hope of survival, he would not give up the opportunity.
