Feng Qi Appears

Jie Hui dragged the heavily injured Jie Wu across the icy pool and returned to the cave of the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid Hall.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid Hall is now deserted.

Jie Wu was already seriously injured, and Jie Hui dragged him across the icy pool. The chill seeped into his body, worsening his injuries, leaving him lying paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.

Fortunately, the healing pills that Jie Hui had given him earlier were of excellent quality, which barely saved his life.

At this moment, the spiritual energy within his body was slowly refining the elixir to heal his injuries.

"Jie Hui, Jie Se..."

Jie Wu managed to utter a few words with difficulty.

He constantly argues with himself about Jie Se.

But when he was trapped by the Sting Mother Beast, it was Jie Se who risked his life to save him.

As a result, the attempt to Jie Se fell into the hands of the Sting Mother Beast.

Jie Se risked his life to save Jiese; when Jie Se was in danger, he was powerless to help, which made Jie Wu feel guilty.

Jie Hui shook his head, "In that situation, there was nothing I could do."

Jie Wu lay sprawled on the ground, gazing at the dark sky with a sorrowful expression.

"Jie Wu, in your current state, it will be difficult for you to recover in a short time. At least until the end of the secret realm, you will not be able to return to your original state. Why not sacrifice your soul and body to my Skeleton Ghost General? They can also regain some of their strength."

Jie Hui's voice was like the wind and snow in the dead of winter, chilling Jie Wu to the bone.

He had known Jie Hui for decades, yet Jie Hui actually wanted to use him to feed ghosts.

Unable to move, Jie Wu could only move his eyes to look at Jie Hui.

However, what came into view were five illusory skeletons.

During the struggle for the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid, the five skeletal ghost generals were injured by Ji Ruxue's sword formation and have not yet fully recovered.

"Jie Hui, forgive me..."

Before he could finish speaking, five skeleton ghosts pounced on him.

It kept tearing and biting at his flesh.

Watching Jie Wu being devoured, Jie Hui's face was full of compassion as he recited the Buddhist 'Rebirth Mantra'.

However, Jie Wu's soul was quickly devoured.

There is absolutely no possibility of 'rebirth'!

After the five ghosts finished eating, Jie Hui turned and left the cave where the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid Hall was located.

Following the passage where Song Wen and the others left, they ventured deep into the underground river.

However, the path he took was different from the path Song Wen followed when he was tailing Feng Qi.

They entered the underground river from different locations.

After Song Wen finished organizing the memories he had obtained through the soul search, a look of joy appeared on his face.

They actually discovered a clue to the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch, and it was even a 500-year-old one.

However, that Sting Mother Beast was a bit troublesome.

Xu Zheng because of the protection of the Sting Mother Beast that this Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch has such a long medicinal life.

Those cultivators who coveted the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch have all died at the hands of the Sting Mother Beast.

"But how do we get into the cave? Do we have to go back to the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid Hall and enter from the icy pool at the bottom of the cliff?"

Song Wen pondered this in his heart.

In Jie Hui's memory, there was only one path leading to the cave where the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch was located.

There is also a hidden passageway in the underground river that leads into the cave.

But Song Wen did not know where this underground river was.

"Let's find Feng Qi first, kill him, and then retrieve the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch."

After pondering for a moment, Song Wen made a decision in his heart.

The Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch was guarded by the Sting Mother Beast, and even the combined efforts of three Foundation Establishment Peak Stage cultivators, including Jie Hui, failed to defeat it.

There's no need to worry about it being taken away.

The journey to and from the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid Hall takes too long, Song Wen doesn't want to waste too much time on the road.

After carefully searching the surroundings, Song Wen discovered the mark left by the Sacred Beetle Gu.

Feng Qi headed upstream along the river.

With the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch on his mind, Song Wen's speed increased considerably.

Song Wen followed the river upstream for hundreds of miles, but still could not find any trace of Feng Qi.

During this time, he also discovered several hidden caves leading to other waterways.

He sighed inwardly, marveling at how intricate and endless the underground rivers in the Azure Tide Secret Realm were; the underground water system was far too developed.

Suddenly.

A violent fluctuation of Spiritual Qi came from ahead.

Someone's using magic!

Song Wen first let the Sacred Beetle Gu move closer, then he concealed his aura and slowly followed.

After traveling about ten miles, Song Wen could clearly see the two sides engaged in the battle.

It turned out to be Ji Ruxue and Feng Qi.

Ji Ruxue activated the Evil-Breaking Sword Formation, Feng Qi within it.

Within the sword formation, lightning and Sword Qi occasionally struck down, bombarding Feng Qi.

It was only through the light of lightning that Song Wen was able to recognize the two people from several miles away in this pitch-black underground world.

The battle between the two was extremely close.

The Demon- Exorcising Evil Sword Formation can mobilize Thunder Method, making it quite powerful.

However, Ji Ruxue's cultivation level was weaker than Feng Qi's.

Moreover, Feng Qi is no ordinary person.

With his mastery of Fire Element Technique Method, he remained remarkably composed even when trapped within a sword formation and simultaneously subjected to attacks from lightning and sword light.

On the contrary, Ji Ruxue, who was controlling the sword formation, was somewhat unsettled.

Activating the sword formation consumed a significant amount of her spiritual energy.

Unable to defeat Feng Qi for an extended period, she inevitably began to consider giving up.

"Last time in East Birch Market, your master and the Blissful Union Sect Nascent Soul Hehuan Sect saved your life. This time, let's see where you can run to this time!"

Inside the sword formation, Feng Qi used Fire Element Technique Method to shatter the incoming Sword Qi while shouting loudly.

He said these things to disturb Ji Ruxue's composure.

Although he is safe for the time being, being trapped in the sword formation for a long time is not a good thing.

Ji Ruxue gritted her teeth and rapidly formed sword incantations in her hands.

The formation's power increased dramatically.

Thunderbolts rained down repeatedly, and sword light flashed incessantly.

Feng Qi, inside the sword formation, felt the pressure increase dramatically.

But instead of being angry, he was pleased.

The sword formation was powered by the spiritual energy within Ji Ruxue's body. With such a high-intensity attack, it was impossible for Ji Ruxue, who was only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, to sustain it for long.

A blazing bell sits atop Feng Qi's head, protecting him from any attacks that manage to slip through.

He continuously conjured various fire dragons and phoenixes to meet the incoming thunder and sword light.

Suddenly.

Three bolts of lightning and nine sword lights struck simultaneously.

Feng Qi's Fire Element Technique Method only managed to block ten of the attacks.

A bolt of lightning and a sword strike landed on the blazing bell.

The flames on the bell suddenly flickered erratically, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Then, the bell suddenly exploded, scattering sparks everywhere.

The remaining lightning and sword light landed on the spiritual energy shield, Feng Qi's last line of defense.

The spiritual energy shield shattered instantly.

The sword light struck Feng Qi's chest, and lightning struck Feng Qi's head.

After being depleted by the blazing bell and the spiritual shield, the lightning and sword light had little power left.

A wound over a foot long was ripped open on Feng Qi's chest by the sword light.

The lightning Feng Qi, sending him flying and leaving him charred black.

Although Feng Qi appeared disheveled, his injuries were not actually serious.

With a slight circulation of his spiritual power, he expelled most of the Sword Qi and lightning power that had invaded his body.

As for external injuries, they are all superficial and not serious, and will not affect their combat effectiveness.
