Mutation (Continued)

Why aren't they coming out yet? Is there a trap inside?

Just then, a familiar figure slowly emerged from the shadows behind the stone door. Si Huaruo breathed a sigh of relief, "You're finally back. There are still living people inside... Wait a minute!"

She immediately sensed something was wrong with the other person. At this moment, Liu Qingqing was exuding Sha Qi aura, and darkness seemed to have become her servant, baring its fangs and claws beside her. She was like a blood-red dark queen, with an exceptionally powerful aura that immediately attracted everyone's attention.

What exactly happened?

Si Huaruo was about to ask the Black and White Impermanence question when she noticed that they also looked astonished, clearly not expecting such a change.

"What's going on? Although they look the same, they're completely different people. The aura they exude is worlds apart?"

"It's a pool of blood inside... Could it be that she absorbed the Myriad Filth Tainted Blood?"

"Impossible. The Myriad Filth Tainted Blood is not yet complete. The sect leader said it will take another forty-nine days to finish."

The Black and White Impermanence were both surprised and uncertain, but they did not launch an attack immediately. After all, judging from the current situation, the other party was likely in a state of mental confusion and might not regard them as enemies. If they attacked, their biological instincts would be triggered, and they would be drawn into a battle. This was a situation they had encountered before.

However, things did not go as they had imagined.

Liu Qingqing slowly raised her hand, pointing at the two with her index finger, demonstrating her "imposing" demeanor, and clearly spoke:

"Ghost Calamity Form, Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood!"

In an instant, a surge of evil power erupted, carrying a stench, and transformed into a torrent of blood that rushed out furiously. The surrounding world seemed to be corrupted by the Youming, transformed into a purgatory, with ghostly whispers echoing everywhere.

The expressions of the Black and White Impermanence Black Impermanence the Soul-Locking Chain, forming a vortex, White Impermanence Judge's Token horizontally in front of his chest, activating the runes engraved within. Together, they unleashed their ultimate move.

Good and Evil Impermanence; the Nether Dao Reincarnation!

The power of reincarnation surged from the Judge's Token, attaching itself to the Soul-Locking Chain. The scattered points resembled the Milky Way in the sky, yet they had a soul-capturing effect, extremely sinister. Si Huaruo, who was standing nearby, was only affected by the residual force and felt her heart tremble. She quickly circulated her internal energy to stabilize her mind.

The blood, carrying the stench of corpses, crashed into the vortex formed by the Soul-Locking Chain, its path blocked. The two forces, both belonging to the Evil Dao path, clashed and reached a stalemate.

Si Huaruo hesitated, unsure which side to help, or rather, whether she should help Liu Qingqing at all. After all, given Liu Qingqing's current state, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't attack her after defeating the Black and White Impermanence.

After a slight hesitation, Liu Qingqing, looking completely at ease, raised her other hand, held up her index finger, and, amidst the despair in the eyes of the Black and White Impermanence, uttered the words once more:

"Man-Made Calamity Form, the Merciless Ravages of War!"

Seeing the Blood Sha Qi surging around the opponent, who was about to unleash a second Technique Method, the Black and White Impermanence exchanged glances and made a decisive decision.

"Walk!"

Both of them simultaneously withdrew their strength, concentrating it on defense and transforming it into True Qi energy to safeguard their bodies.

The crimson torrent broke through the Soul-Locking Chain and crashed into the two, hissing and corroding as it shattered flesh and blood, withered everything, and caused further decay and putrefaction by corpse poison.

The two Black and White Impermanence figures let out muffled groans of pain. The White Impermanence raised the Judge's Token and swung it repeatedly, severing his own left arm and the Black Impermanence's right arm—these two arms, having blocked the way, had been corroded by the Blood Sha Qi and were filled with corpse poison.

Then, Black Impermanence made a hand Method Formula, and his two arms exploded, spewing out Essence Blood. One stream of Essence Blood transformed into a shield to block Liu Qingqing's Technique Method, while the other stream of Essence Blood enveloped the two of them, turning into a bloody light and rushing outwards, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

A brave man cuts off his own arm to fight for a chance at survival.

Si Huaruo witnessed the whole process, had to admit that the two experts from the Blood Abyss Sect made the most correct and timely response. If they had hesitated even slightly, they would have lost more than just two arms.

However, she had no time to worry about others, since only she and Liu Qingqing were left at the scene. So she focused her attention and watched the other party's every move, ready to escape at any moment.

Liu Qingqing turned around, glanced at Si Huaruo, didn't make a move or greet her, and withdrew her gaze without any hesitation, walking out of the cave. Not long after, the screams of the Blood Abyss Sect members could be heard.

"Neither friend nor foe, what exactly is her current state?" Si Huaruo wondered. "Never mind, let's tell Sikong Ming the news first."

On Yuntian Mountain, Chen Shimi, having been freed from his seal, fought alone against the white-haired man. Domineering demonic patterns appeared on his face, and his entire body was shrouded in Devil Qi. Every move he made contained immense power.

Having learned from the previous experience of collapsing due to the inability to withstand the power, Chen Shimi did not use the Dragon Devil's ultimate move this time. He merely used the power of the seal to activate ordinary martial arts moves. Although it was still strenuous, his body could barely handle it, and he would not be in danger in the short term.

However, although his cultivation level had increased dramatically, directly reaching the Spirit Transformation stage, he was completely unfamiliar with this power. Circulating it was extremely difficult, like a child wielding a heavy hammer, wobbling and unsteady. In addition, he did not have the corresponding moves to exert his power. Therefore, he could not gain the upper hand against the white-haired man. Moreover, if the time dragged on, he would be the one to lose.

However, Chen Shimi was not worried about his safety. Instead, he devoted himself to the battle, treating it as a practical training exercise and striving to master the power of the seal as soon as possible. The reason he dared to be so reckless was that on another battlefield, Si Ming completely crushed the vice sect leader of the Blood Abyss Sect.

"Clutching Stars and Grasping the Moon!"

Si Ming unleashed a Mighty Vajra Palm strike with both hands, striking in different directions. One palm slammed into the three Blood Abyss Sect disciples who attempted a sneak attack, blasting them into a shower of blood and flesh. The other palm struck the old man, its divine power condensed and undispersed.

"Billowing Sea of Blood!"

The old man activated his evil magic, and the gourd hanging from his waist immediately spewed out a fountain of blood, which condensed into a large shield in front of him.

This blood shield, though seemingly fragile and easily pierced by its formation of blood, actually possesses the ability to overcome strength with softness and contains deadly poison. The old man has used this shield to outwit countless skilled opponents, hence his absolute confidence.

However, the next moment the blood shield exploded, turning into a spray of blood. Even the old man hiding behind the blood shield was not spared. He was struck in the chest by a palm strike, which pierced through his chest and created a large hole.

"Sorry, I think I used a little too much force. I'll be more careful next time," Si Ming said with a smile.

You've fallen for their trap!

The old man chuckled sinisterly, his body suddenly disintegrating into a pool of blood that lunged at Si Ming.

"Such abundant vital energy! I have never seen a martial artist with such powerful vital energy as you. I believe that once I absorb your Essence Blood, my Blood Sha Art will definitely reach a higher level, and surpassing the sect leader will be just around the corner!"

The old man couldn't help but let out a strange, cackling laugh. Countless martial arts masters had fallen for this trick in the past. His Blood River Dharma Body could temporarily transform his body into blood, making him immune to physical attacks. He could also pounce on his opponent and absorb their Essence Blood. After a few times, even Grandmaster- level expert would be drained into a dried-up corpse.

The old man's eerie laughter abruptly stopped. The blood that splashed onto Si Ming was instantly thrown back, and instead of absorbing the Essence Blood, he was injured internally by the shock.

"How could this be!"

A human face formed from the blood, its expression one of shock; it felt as if it had just crashed into an impenetrable wall.
