The prototypes of the [Eternal Night Void Realm] and [Chaos Life-Breath Domain] instantly overlapped and descended! Darkness and vitality twisted and intertwined, and a terrifying pressure pressed down like a mountain. The four Martial Grandmasters froze for a moment, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
"Kill!" Xiao Han's voice was icy cold.
His figure split in two. His [Shadow Avatar] wielded a refined Green Lotus Sword Qi, its sword light raining down as it charged straight at the three Blood Fiend Hall assassins, confusing their senses. His true body, however, shot out like an arrow, instantly appearing in front of one of the Blood Fiend Hall assassins and unleashing the Annihilation Divine Fist, which incorporated the "Return to the Ruins" fist intent, without any fancy moves!
"Bang!"
The Late Martial Grandmaster Stage, didn't even have time to scream before his head exploded like a watermelon, splattering red and white matter everywhere!
At the same time, the [Soul Origin Treasure Jade] formed by the fusion of Blood Soul Source Crystal and Mysterious Soul Jade between Xiao Han's brows suddenly shone brightly, and an invisible [Divine Soul Storm] swept out!
"Ah--!" The traitorous mentor Zhao Wuji and the remaining two Blood Fiend Hall assassins felt as if their souls were being pierced by thousands of steel needles, experiencing excruciating pain. Their souls were instantly severely damaged, and their movements became completely stiff.
In the blink of an eye, the Annihilation Divine Fist delivered two more blows, and the remaining two Blood Fiend Hall assassins followed in their companion's footsteps.
Xiao Han grabbed Zhao Wuji by the neck, whose soul was injured and whose face showed fear. The [Void-Piercing Divine Eyes] burst out with golden light and unhesitatingly used the Soul Searching Secret Technique.
A moment later, Zhao Wuji's eyes rolled back, and he died completely. Xiao Han's face was ashen, and the killing intent in his eyes was almost tangible.
From Zhao Wuji's chaotic memories, he obtained more detailed and cruel information about the interior of the [Dragon-Locking Well]: Instructor Lin Qingxia's Extreme Ice Phoenix essence was being forcibly stripped away to activate an evil Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation. The ritual had reached a critical moment, and every minute of delay would increase the danger to Mentor Lin!
"Damn it!" Xiao Han was extremely anxious.
Without further hesitation, he took out a [Restriction-Breaking Jade Talisman] given to him by Su Linglong and specially made by the Su Family's array master, and pressed it hard against the entrance of the [Dragon-Locking Well] in front of him, which was shrouded in energy light.
The jade talisman shone brightly, and a strange wave spread out. The multiple warning arrays at the entrance and the evil restrictions set up by the Blood Fiend Hall instantly became disordered and ineffective, revealing a deep and bottomless well entrance.
Xiao Han leaped in.
Inside the well, a nauseating stench of blood, a venomous aura of curses, and the raging energy of the earth's veins assaulted the senses. The well walls were covered with a thick layer of blood that seemed to still be writhing, and were engraved with twisted, blood-red runes, forming a natural purgatory that constantly drained the life force and spiritual energy of any intruder.
Xiao Han's body was radiant with the light of the Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul, and its holy purifying power isolated him from most of the evil energy.
The Eternal Night King Martial Soul allowed him to feel completely at ease in the shadows and deathly aura of this place. Instead of feeling uncomfortable, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
[Void-Piercing Divine Eyes] were activated at full power, constantly dodging or instantly breaking through deadly traps and Blood Fiend Guards hidden in the shadows with fingertip sword energy.
Finally, the view opened up before him. He had reached the bottom of the [Dragon-Locking Well].
A massive underground cavern, the size of several football fields, came into view. In the center of the cavern stood a hundred-foot-tall altar of white bones, entirely constructed from the remains of countless strange beasts and humans, its surface flowing with viscous blood, exuding overwhelming evil and endless resentment.
At the top of the altar, dozens of thick, blood-red energy chains, like venomous snakes, tightly coiled around a familiar figure.
Instructor Lin Qingxia! She was bound to the top of the bone altar in a humiliating manner, her body covered in blood. Her once bright and beautiful face was now as pale as paper, and her breath was so weak that it seemed she would be extinguished at any moment.
But in her phoenix eyes, an indomitable flame still burned, her gaze fixed intently on the scene below. Behind her, the phantom of her Extreme Ice Phoenix Martial Soul emitted mournful cries as a massive crimson vortex above the altar frantically drained its primordial power, its light dimming.
Below the altar, a young man dressed in an elaborate and luxurious blood-red robe, with a handsome face yet exuding an eerie charm, sat cross-legged.
His hands formed strange hand seals, and his body was surrounded by blood-red light as he controlled the entire Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation. He was none other than the young master of the Blood Fiend Hall —Young Blood Young Master! Beside him stood four Blood Fiend Hall elders, clad in blood-red armor, their auras as deep and boundless as the ocean. They were all Martial King Realm experts!
Xiao Han clenched his fists so tightly his nails almost dug into his palms, a torrent of rage and killing intent churning within him. Just as he was preparing to seize the opportunity to launch a ruthless attack—
The Blood Young Master, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. His blood-red eyes, which gleamed with cruelty and madness, curled into a mocking and cold smile. His gaze seemed to pierce through endless void and shadows, landing precisely on Xiao Han's hiding place.
"The Rat hiding in the shadows, having watched for so long, should come out for some fresh air." The Blood Young Master's voice carried a sinister magnetism, yet was chillingly cold. "The scent of the 'Primordial Shadow Source Crystal' and 'Blood Soul Source Crystal' on you is truly... exciting to me!"
Xiao Han's pupils suddenly contracted, realizing that he had been completely seen through!
He no longer hid, stepping out from the shadows. His aura Peak Sixth Level of the Martial Master Realm soared into the sky without reservation, and the terrifying pressure of his twin SSS+ Martial Souls collided violently with the extremely evil aura emanating from the Blood Young Master, like an ancient ferocious beast awakening!
[The Void-Piercing Divine Eyes] unleashed a burst of golden light, Xiao Han's voice, icy and chilling, echoed throughout the crimson cave, "Blood Young Master? Today, this place will be your burial ground! Release Mentor Lin, and I'll let you die a quick death!"
The air froze instantly, and a murderous aura surged forth! A rescue battle, with a stark and hopeless disparity in strength, erupted completely at the bottom of the blood-red inferno of the [Dragon-Locking Well]!
The Blood Young Master licked his thin lips with his scarlet tongue, his smile eerily cruel, "I've laid a trap here, using the earth's dragon energy as a furnace and this lowly wench's Extreme Ice Phoenix essence as a catalyst to burn this Dragon-Locking Well. But it's not just to refine her. My true purpose is you, Xiao Han. The Primordial Shadow Source Crystal and Blood Soul Source Crystal on your body—I'm determined to have them!"
It turns out, everything was a shocking trap set for him! His mentor, Lin Qingxia, was nothing more than bait to lure him into a trap!
"You're courting death!" Xiao Han's chest blazed with fury, and his killing intent burst forth as if it were a tangible substance.
The aura of the Peak Sixth Level of the Martial Master Realm was no longer held back, like a slumbering ancient beast suddenly awakening! The Chaos Green Lotus shone brightly, bursting with life force; the Eternal Night Void Emperor (pseudo) radiated black light, his imperial pressure permeating the air. The nascent Chaos Domain and the nascent Eternal Night Void Realm instantly overlapped, a distorted force field enveloping all directions!
"Annihilation!"
"Azure Lotus!"
The Return to the Ruins Fist Intent of "Annihilation Divine Fist" and the Purifying Sword Qi of "Green Lotus Sword Song" transformed into two destructive torrents, rushing forward relentlessly towards the Blood Young Master above the altar!
