Zhang Tianxin climbed to her feet, her face swollen into a pig's head as she stared at Li Xuanxiao.
"W-what?"
Li Xuanxiao said, "This is actually my real plan. Though there are many entrances to the secret passage, as far as I know, only by entering through the Heaven-class cell entrance can we be sure of escaping this place."
He opened the cell, pulled Zhang Tianxin out, and led her to a corner of the cell.
He silently recited the password.
"Di Nüfeng is the most beautiful woman in the world, and she has the biggest breasts!
"Liu Qiushui of Asura Hall is a despicable little man, a son of a bitch...!"
Once the password was finished, the entrance to the secret passage slowly opened.
Zhang Tianxin froze for a moment.
Li Xuanxiao handed her a spirit fruit.
At the sight of it, Zhang Tianxin snatched the spirit fruit eagerly, opened her mouth, and took a savage bite.
Sweet, delicious juice instantly filled her entire mouth.
Before long, Zhang Tianxin had devoured the spirit fruit cleanly, not even leaving behind the core.
And just as she swallowed the final bite of fruit flesh, a cool and refreshing sensation suddenly rose from her abdomen and swiftly spread through all the meridians in her body.
Her spiritual energy, which had been somewhat sluggish from excessive depletion, now began to surge wildly like parched land receiving a timely rain.
As the spiritual energy continuously circulated through her body, Zhang Tianxin felt her strength gradually return.
"Follow me!"
Zhang Tianxin nodded like a pecking chicken, no longer harboring the slightest doubt toward Li Xuanxiao.
Zhang Tianxin followed Li Xuanxiao as they swiftly threaded through the secret passage, her heart taut with nerves.
Without knowing its crucial secrets, even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would perish in this passage.
After an unknown length of time, Zhang Tianxin seemed to hear the sound of waves.
As they went farther ahead, the scene before them suddenly brightened.
An ocean appeared before them, and the cavern entrance where they stood was broad and open, offering a full view of the entire sea.
"Fellow Daoist Li, let's go!"
Zhang Tianxin could barely wait. They were about to escape this den of demons.
How could she not be excited?
Yet Li Xuanxiao stopped her with one hand. "This is the legendary Dead Sea."
"The Dead Sea!?"
Zhang Tianxin gazed toward that mysterious stretch of sea not far away.
It was said that even birds could not fly across the Dead Sea.
Since ancient times, all manner of terrifying legends about this sea had circulated throughout the world.
Once cultivators flying through the sky approached this Dead Sea, they would be affected by its strange power, lose control of their bodies, and involuntarily plunge toward the surface.
No matter how those cultivators cast their spells or wielded their divine abilities, they found it difficult to break free from the Dead Sea's immense and mysterious pull.
Li Xuanxiao removed the Sword Box from his back.
He said to Zhang Tianxin, "In a moment, I'll release a flying sword. It will take us away, but this flying sword is somewhat difficult to control. Fellow Daoist Zhang, be prepared."
Zhang Tianxin nodded.
Li Xuanxiao swiftly formed a sword seal with both hands.
In that instant, it seemed as though some mysterious and powerful force in the unseen world resonated and answered the sword seal in his hands.
Then, the Sword Box that had been quietly resting nearby suddenly let out a deafening roar!
The sound was like thunder with the force of ten thousand bolts, ringing through the heavens.
At the same time, a shrill and piercing howl abruptly sounded.
In an instant, countless incomparably fierce strands of Sword Qi erupted from the Sword Box, ravaging the surroundings like a surging, tempestuous flood.
The Sword Qi intertwined and collided, forming a dazzling ocean of radiance.
Zhang Tianxin was greatly alarmed and hurriedly dodged.
She noticed that even Li Xuanxiao had been wounded by the Sword Qi he had summoned himself.
One strand of Sword Qi was especially brilliant. Like a white rainbow, it tore through the sky with irresistible force.
Wherever that Sword Qi passed, the air itself was ripped apart, leaving behind clear, visible scars.
A treasure sword gleaming with cold light shot from the Sword Box like lightning streaking across the night sky, so fast it was impossible to follow with the eyes.
Li Xuanxiao spat out blood.
It had to be said that all the nourishing food he had received in the demonic sect these past days had greatly improved his body.
Li Xuanxiao reached out and barely seized the flying sword, its fierce Sword Qi seeming to tear apart his own meridians.
Li Xuanxiao did not let go, grabbing Zhang Tianxin with his other hand.
The flying sword shot into the distance, completely ignoring the Dead Sea's effects.
"..."
"They escaped?"
Di Nüfeng, awakened by the commotion caused by Li Xuanxiao's flying sword, had initially thought that those old fogies from the righteous path had come knocking.
Only after her subordinates reported to her did she learn that her own protector, Li Xuanxiao, had fled with Zhang Tianxin.
Di Nüfeng's face was expressionless as she clenched one fist. The veins on the back of her hand bulged one after another, as though they were about to burst through her skin.
A subordinate tremblingly produced a letter. "Th-this is the letter that traitor left for you..."
With a wave of Di Nüfeng's hand, the letter appeared in her grasp.
Since childhood, I have cultivated the mystic path. My master taught me to save the world and its people, to eliminate demons and uphold the Dao.
Since ancient times, righteousness and evil have stood irreconcilable. Let us part here, and may we never meet again.
One last thing: Liu Qiushui is far prettier than you.
Di Nüfeng: w(ﾟДﾟ)w!!!
Li Xuanxiao's final sentence directly shattered Di Nüfeng's composure.
"Bastard!! I'll kill you."
"Liu Qiushui, I'll fight you to the death."
Di Nüfeng charged out at once, pinning all the blame on Liu Qiushui.
I'll tear your face to shreds!!
