A faint, eerie voice suddenly rang out.
Li Qingyi had just grabbed Wang Xuan and turned around when she discovered that the environment around them had abruptly changed!
They had already been transported from the cave entrance to the altar below!!!
At the same time!
Blood-red stone pillars rose from beneath the altar one after another. Strange bloody light poured from the pillars, forming a curtain of light that spread out in every direction!
Seeing the bizarre bloody light, Li Qingyi immediately transformed into a streak of sword light and shot outward, trying to escape its range!
"Since you're here, don't leave!"
"Stay and have some fun!"
The Bewitching Envoy's voice rang out.
A huge blood-red hand suddenly descended, directly blocking Li Qingyi's path!
"Damn it, this is a trap!"
"How did this bastard know?"
Wang Xuan roared.
From the moment they discovered the clue to finding Chillshadow Gulch, only a single day had passed!
And on the way here, they had even sealed the Soul-Devouring Mark!
Logically speaking, they should not have been discovered!
Hearing Wang Xuan's voice, the Bewitching Envoy immediately laughed. "Ever since she took you away yesterday, every move you made has been under this Holy Envoy's control!"
"You broke into the Blood Demon Pearl's altar!"
"Even capturing Xu Kui was arranged by this Holy Envoy!"
"Did you really think this Holy Envoy would be so easily discovered by you? You are far too naive!"
"This Holy Envoy has waited a long time!"
"Waiting for you to walk right into my net!"
"Ha ha ha!"
As the laughter echoed, a chill rose in Wang Xuan's heart!!
So all of this had been plotted by the other side!
It was simply terrifying!
Li Qingyi's expression turned icy as she gave a sharp cry.
Buzz!
The flying sword became a streak of sword light and shot straight toward a blood-red stone pillar in the distance!
Just as the flying sword was about to strike the pillar, the Bewitching Envoy suddenly appeared and raised a hand, sending it flying back with a single palm strike!
"I waited so hard for you to enter!"
"How could I possibly let you leave!"
The Bewitching Envoy laughed sinisterly.
It seemed as though everything was under his control!
"Go!"
Li Qingyi said nothing. With a low shout, the flying sword once again turned into a white streak of sword light and shot directly at the Bewitching Envoy!
The Bewitching Envoy's figure flashed, easily evading the strike!
"Stop struggling!"
"This Holy Envoy made preparations long ago just to deal with you!"
"This is the Netherworld Soul Lock Formation, specially prepared for you!"
"As long as you remain within this formation, the power in your body will gradually weaken until it is completely corroded by the formation, leaving you a lamb awaiting slaughter!"
"So, you cannot escape!"
The Bewitching Envoy laughed loudly.
Seeing this, Wang Xuan immediately said, "Young Master Li, don't worry about me. Deal with him first!!"
Li Qingyi frowned tightly upon hearing this.
Looking at the blood-red curtain descending around them, she could sense the strange power contained within the formation. It was suppressing her power—or more accurately, eroding it!
If they stayed here for too long, they would undoubtedly die!
"You get out first!"
"I have my own way of dealing with this!"
As Li Qingyi spoke, she grabbed Wang Xuan and rushed into the distance. Seeing this, the Bewitching Envoy hurriedly moved to stop them!
Bang!
The flying sword collided with the blood-red palm. Li Qingyi staggered and failed to fly beyond the formation's range, but she threw Wang Xuan out instead.
The Bewitching Envoy was not disappointed by this.
"What use is that? He's just a little brat at the Iron Skin Realm. Do you expect him to save you?"
The Bewitching Envoy sneered.
Li Qingyi's expression remained cold.
"Without him, I can properly deal with you!"
Boom—
Her qi and blood roared within her as Origin Power surged forth!
A vast aura swept out. The formation that had just enclosed them began to shake violently at this moment!
Sensing Li Qingyi's Martial Path aura, the Bewitching Envoy's pupils contracted sharply beneath his mask. He said in shock, "You're actually at the early Five Spirits Realm!"
"Good, good, good!"
"No wonder you dared to bring a Human Pill into this place!"
"But even if you are in the Five Spirits Realm, today you can only become my sacrifice!"
"And with you as a sacrifice, this Holy Envoy will definitely enter the Innate Stage!"
The Bewitching Envoy laughed wildly!
There was a hint of madness in his voice!
As his laughter echoed, his Martial Path aura also erupted!
He had astonishingly reached the Half-Step Five Spirits Realm!
"You few, assist me!"
"The rest of you, capture the Human Pill!"
"As long as the sacrifices are in place, the ritual can begin!"
With a shout from the Bewitching Envoy, the blood pool churned beneath his raised hand. An extravagantly shaped blood-red scythe appeared and slashed directly toward Li Qingyi!
Around the altar, seven Pity Life Sect experts at the peak of the Jade Bone Realm immediately rushed to surround and attack Li Qingyi upon hearing his command!
As for the remaining Pity Life Sect Demon-Humans, all their gazes fell upon Wang Xuan!
Wang Xuan had only just escaped the Netherworld Soul Lock Formation and had not yet recovered his senses when he felt the gazes converging on him from all sides.
His scalp instantly went numb.
"Human Pill, die for me!"
The Pity Life Sect's Demon-Humans shrieked as they charged straight at Wang Xuan!
Wang Xuan's expression changed drastically!
"Fuck!"
There were a full three or four hundred Pity Life Sect Demon-Humans here!
Even the weakest among them were at the Iron Skin Realm!
Wang Xuan turned and began sprinting wildly in every direction!
But this place had already been sealed off!
There was no way forward and no way back!
"Damn it, die!"
Wang Xuan immediately drew the bow from his back.
Soul-Chasing Arrow!
Boom!
Sword light shot forth, carrying terrifying force!
Splat! Splat! Splat!
More than a dozen Demon-Humans were pierced through by that single arrow. Their bodies instantly exploded under the tremendous force, blood spraying everywhere!
Killed an Iron Skin Realm demon, Archery Experience +1100, gained 11 Attribute Points Killed an Iron Skin Realm demon, Archery Experience +1500, gained 15 Attribute Points ...
With one arrow, he had killed more than a dozen Pity Life Sect Demon-Humans. Every Pity Life Sect Demon-Human present froze in shock at the sight!
Wang Xuan was only at the peak of the Iron Skin Realm!
Yet with one arrow!
He had slain more than a dozen Iron Skin Realm martial artists!
What the fuck kind of archery was this!
Before anyone could react, Wang Xuan immediately nocked another arrow and fired!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Arrows pierced through the air one after another!
Another twenty or thirty people died miserably beneath the arrow light!
They exploded into clouds of blood mist!
Everyone's faces turned pale with horror at the sight.
"Dodge!"
"There's something wrong with this bastard's archery!"
The Iron Skin Realm Demon-Humans looked terrified and retreated one after another!
Meanwhile, the Dragon Serpent Realm Demon-Humans immediately stepped forward!
Wang Xuan did not hesitate in the slightest upon seeing this.
Quintuple Star Shot!
Soul-Chasing Arrow!
Boom—
The arrows flashed like lightning!
A mid-stage Dragon Serpent Realm Demon-Human rushing at him was pierced straight through, then exploded into pieces!
Killed a Dragon Serpent Realm Demon-Human, Archery Experience +4000, gained 40 Attribute Points Advanced Archery: Mastery Progress / Attribute Points: 1150
Seeing that even a mid-stage Dragon Serpent Realm expert could not withstand a single arrow from Wang Xuan, everyone's expressions turned grim.
Before they could react, Wang Xuan kept firing, his arrows aimed at the Dragon Serpent Realm experts!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Arrows descended like flashes of lightning, piercing one Pity Life Sect Demon-Human after another!
Killed a Dragon Serpent Realm demon, Archery Experience +3000, gained 30 Attribute Points
In the blink of an eye, Wang Xuan had fired all twenty of his arrows.
But!
His archery had also reached a breakthrough.
Advanced Archery reached mastery. Spend five hundred Attribute Points to evolve. Your strength has increased. Current strength: 3000 kilograms.
In the blink of an eye.
Wang Xuan's archery reached mastery!
At the same time, his strength reached three thousand kilograms!
He had reached the threshold of the Dragon Serpent Realm!
"Hm? My strength has reached three thousand kilograms, so why haven't I broken through to the Dragon Serpent Realm?"
Wang Xuan felt puzzled.
Three thousand kilograms was the threshold for the Dragon Serpent Realm.
Yet after reaching that level of strength, he received no prompt of a breakthrough.
"You little beast, you've run out of arrows!"
"Let's see what else you can do!"
At that moment, a Dragon Serpent Realm Demon-Human saw that Wang Xuan had exhausted his arrows and was instantly overjoyed!
With a roar, he threw a punch straight at Wang Xuan's face!
Seeing this, Wang Xuan seized the pudao in his hand!
Copper Skin Iron Bones!
Rumble rumble rumble!
In an instant!
His qi and blood thundered through his body!
The muscles all over his body knotted and bulged. His height instantly surged to two meters, turning him incomparably massive!
His strength soared directly to nine thousand kilograms!
"Die!"
Facing the incoming punch, Wang Xuan did not dodge in the slightest. With a single slash, he forcibly cleaved the Dragon Serpent Realm Demon-Human in two!
Meanwhile, within the Netherworld Soul Lock Formation.
Li Qingyi watched Wang Xuan's every movement, terrified that Wang Xuan would die because of him.
But!
Seeing Wang Xuan's strength suddenly surge and watching him split a Dragon Serpent Realm Demon-Human apart with one slash, his pupils abruptly contracted!
"This guy... he must be a Bloodline Warrior!"
