"You're asking for it!"

Qin Wujun raised his palm to kill Xia Guanxue, but another unexpected variable occurred: Xia Guanxue's Ghostly Gloom Sword Art resonated with the formation, drawing out a portion of the illusionary power, which then invaded Qin Wujun's soul with the tip of the sword.

In an instant, Qin Wujun heard the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves, and countless ghosts raged in his sea of consciousness. This change also aroused his Asura Bloodline, and his consciousness went into a frenzy, unable to control itself.

With its master gone, the formation's power diminished drastically. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Murong Wu shouted, "Brother Ying Zhou!"

Ying Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing like flames, and slashed out with the demonic blade in his hand, carrying boundless rage, as if to release all the pressure that had accumulated before.

"Wisdom Sun Dispels All Darkness!"

A flash of light appeared like Jinghong glimpse, the blade's brilliance as dazzling as the sun descending, impossible to look at directly. It seemed as if heaven and earth themselves were suddenly parted, gods and demons were terrified, immortals and monsters were all astonished, and all illusions were slain by me!

The River of Forgetfulness split in two in an instant, and countless evil spirits and wronged souls turned into white smoke and dissipated. Everything in the illusion shattered like a reflection in a mirror or the moon in the water. Ying Zhou cleaved the illusion open with a single slash and then struck Qin Wujun.

Qin Wujun had just shaken off the illusion when he saw this dazzling and chilling blade. He had no time to use any moves and could only raise his arms in front of his chest to take the blow head-on.

With a powerful surge of energy, accompanied by a piercing metallic scraping sound, the demonic blade forcefully smashed open Qin Wujun's arms and cleaved into his chest. Qin Wujun's body was thrown out, staggering to the ground, his face pale, and he bent over, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

"Is this blood or engine oil?" Ying Zhou asked sarcastically.

Qin Wujun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, straightened up expressionlessly, and said, "Originally, out of consideration for our father-son relationship, I wanted to use a gentler approach to persuade you to turn back, but it seems you don't appreciate it, so I'll have to resort to a more drastic method."

His gaze shifted to Murong Wu, and he said, "This young man seems to be an important partner of yours. If you kill him, it will likely ignite your extreme hatred."

Ying Zhou quickly shielded Murong Wu behind him and said in a deep voice, "Before that, I will kill you first."

Qin Wujun laughed loudly upon hearing this, "You're even capable of patricide, so you really are my son. That's right, this is your true face. I'll remove your mask of pretense right now!"

Before he finished speaking, he formed a hand seal, causing the surrounding air to collapse and cave in, like an underwater vortex, pressing down on Ying Zhou and the others.

"Oops!"

Ying Zhou tried to dodge, but felt an immense force pressing down on him, causing him to freeze in place. The heavy pressure instantly immobilized the three of them.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Qin Wujun pounced forward, rubbing his palm into a blade. The surrounding Yin Qi was completely gathered and concentrated on the blade, transforming into a Yin Blade that slashed towards Murong Wu's slender neck.

"Stop--"

Under Ying Zhou's terrified gaze, several icy Sword Qi pierced through the air, repelling Qin Wujun at the last second.

"The Vast Cold Immortal Sword Art! Is it my sister?" Murong Wu exclaimed excitedly.

"Sorry, I'm not your sister."

The visitor was not Murong Qing, but Si Huaruo.

Murong Wu blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed for mistaking someone for someone else, and quickly changed the subject, asking, "Sister Huaruo, you're on the island too? Why haven't I seen you?"

Si Huaruo immediately put on an angry expression. "Just thinking about it makes me furious. It's all Yu Shuying, not to stand in the open, to guard against enemy spying, to ensure everything was safe. But I didn't get a chance to show up, and I didn't even get to Si Ming. That person is really too much. She must have foreseen this. Sure enough, people as skilled in scheming as Si Jingyu are not to be trusted."

Ying Zhou glanced sideways and said, "Since you feel something is wrong, why don't you just show yourself?"

Si Huaruo shook her head decisively. "How can that be? You have to keep your promises."

She must be easily fooled.

With a formidable enemy at hand, Ying Zhou ceased his idle chatter and focused all his attention on Qin Wujun, saying, "Illusion arrays, demonic soldiers, sneak attacks—use whatever other underhanded tricks you have!"

Qin Wujun sighed, "It seems you cannot understand my good intentions."

Judging from his tone, it True Intention that it was impossible to tell whether he genuinely believed it or was just a master of acting.

But Ying Zhou was too lazy to argue, and shouted, "Understand you, you donkey's turd!"

Si Huaruo, recalling her own experience, frowned and said, "Parents shouldn't impose their ideas on their children, especially when the children are adults. You may think you're doing it for the child's good, but good intentions don't always lead to good results. In reality, things often don't go as planned."

"What's the point of reasoning with a lunatic like this!"

Ying Zhou swung his sword and slashed out furiously. The moment he struck, his aura suddenly surged, his True Qi was vast and mighty. Faintly, the roar and howl of the River of Forgetfulness seemed to echo in the air. It was the roar of countless waves colliding and surging against the sky, mixed with the sound of ghosts wailing. The momentum was magnificent and powerful, like a torrent of Torrent energy that swept and surged like a vast ocean, flowing for thousands of miles.

Having honed his skills in the illusionary array, Ying Zhou's swordsmanship had achieved a new breakthrough. He didn't infuse the sinister and ruthless essence of the River of Forgetfulness into his sword intent, but rather incorporated the sword intent that divided the River of Forgetfulness. It was fierce and domineering, as if he wanted to lift up the entire ocean with a single strike, unleashing a devastating blow that would empty the seas.

Qin Wujun had already experienced the immense power of Ying Zhou, which even his metal body could hardly withstand. He immediately retreated rapidly, while his hands formed a seal. A series of terrifying hissing sounds rang out, echoing in the void, as if hundreds of venomous snakes were simultaneously flicking their tongues and hissing.

"Chaotic Snake Seal!"

The surrounding Yin Qi suddenly condensed, transforming into countless thin, black snakes that slithered out in all directions, generating endless variations that were unpredictable. These Yin Qi snakes were completely unaffected by the blade's force, weaving through the air and directly attacking Ying Zhou.

Qin Wujun's move was actually based on the idea of trading injury for injury!

"Don't retreat, leave the defense to me!"

Si Huaruo unleashed her sword technique "Thousand Directions Afterimages," shooting out hundreds of icy Sword Qi that froze the Yin Qi snakes one by one, relieving Ying Zhou of his worries and allowing him to fully concentrate on the attack.

Qin Wujun's expression changed, and he quickly changed his Law Seals.

"Heavenly Foot Seal!"

His speed suddenly exploded, his feet moved as fast as lightning, as if he were teleporting in the void. His figure disappeared from the original spot and appeared three zhang away. However, due to the hasty change of move, he could not completely avoid the knife. His left abdomen was swept by the blade's energy. Even his metal-like body could not withstand it and was disemboweled.

"Giving me this demonic sword was your biggest miscalculation."

If it were just an ordinary weapon, it probably wouldn't be able to do anything to the metal body. But the Conquest Demon Saber is exceptionally sharp, cutting through iron like mud. It is the most powerful weapon to deal with this rigid body. Ying Zhou was not one to let his guard down. Without stopping to rest, he spun the blade and launched another attack.

"Nether Wave Seal!"
