Blood Curse Tracking
"Call out!"
A sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out.
Song Wen, who was preparing to devour Xing Liren's soul and Essence Blood, had no time to investigate where the attack came from.
He quickly dodged to the left, flying several meters sideways.
In the nick of time, he didn't forget to rip off one of Xing Liren's arms, which was wearing a storage ring.
At the same time, a large amount of Corpse-Baleful Qi surged from Song Wen's body, condensing into an egg-shaped black shield that enveloped his entire body.
Only then did Song Wen become distracted and begin to investigate the Law Treasure that had attacked him.
The Law Treasure was cone-shaped, about a foot long, and its power was not apparent; it looked quite unremarkable.
This is a magical Law Treasure specifically crafted for surprise attacks, concealing its murderous intent invisibly.
The opponent missed their attack but did not give up.
The cone-shaped Law Treasure spun rapidly in the air, following closely behind Song Wen's figure.
The cone-shaped Law Treasure pierced the black shield.
In an instant, a dark, cold light suddenly burst forth from the tip of the cone, sharp and incomparable.
The black shield crumbled and disintegrated instantly under the sharp edge of the cone, turning into Corpse-Baleful Qi.
The cone-shaped Law Treasure continued its momentum, crashing into a large green bell.
The bell hums!
The clock was as fragile as glass and shattered suddenly.
Fragments scattered in the air, followed by a thick mist of blood.
The cone-shaped Law Treasure pierced straight through the blood mist!
The blood mist was dispersed by the strong wind generated by the cone-shaped Law Treasure.
Song Wen's figure has vanished without a trace.
"What a small world! I never expected to run into this person again."
Xing Yixuan appeared in the blood mist, muttering to herself.
She secretly followed behind Xing Liren, not daring to get too close for fear of being discovered, but she still managed to see most of the battle between Song Wen and Xing Liren.
Her original plan was: after Xing Liren dealt with Song Wen, she would launch a surprise attack when he was off guard, subdue Xing Liren, and force him to hand over the Heavenly Spirit Pill.
To her surprise, Xing Liren was no match for Song Wen and died at Song Wen's hands.
This delighted Xing Yixuan.
Xing Liren's death had nothing to do with her, and she was even able to use the pretext of avenging Xing Liren to kill Song Wen and obtain the Heavenly Spirit Pill.
Unexpectedly, her sneak attack failed, Song Wen reacted quickly and dodged her fatal blow.
"Bah! What a piece of trash. He actually died at the hands of a mere Golden Core Early Stage cultivator."
Xing Yixuan approached Xing Liren's body and spat lightly.
Then, she turned and walked away, showing no intention of collecting Xing Liren's body or destroying any evidence.
It's better to avoid trouble!
She acted as if she had never been there and had never seen Xing Liren being killed.
Xing Yixuan arrived at a pile of rotten, broken flesh.
A thick layer of ice crystals was frozen on the minced meat; this was the remains of Song Wen's substitute puppet after it was struck by the ice spear.
Xing Yixuan frowned slightly.
"This seems to be the legendary Puppet Death-Substitution Technique! Who exactly is this person, that he is proficient in several rare and profound secret arts?"
She recalled the cone-shaped Law Treasure, and looking at the trace of blood remaining on it, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
"It seems you didn't completely avoid the Bone-Eroding Cone! This time, you can't escape."
Xing Yixuan's fingertips trembled slightly, and a strand of Law Power shot out like a thin thread, precisely wrapping around that trace of blood.
Under the influence of Law Power, the bloodstains condensed into a drop of blood, which floated into the air and hovered in front of her.
Her hands began to form hand Method Formula.
As the incantation was poured in, the blood bead gradually twisted and deformed, eventually transforming into a blood-red rune.
"Fortunately, this person's escape technique couldn't take him too far, otherwise the Blood Curse Tracking Technique might not have succeeded."
Using the Blood Dao Secret Technique seemed to have taken a toll on Xing Yixuan's health. After a short period of rest, she took a soft breath.
"Go!"
The crimson rune suddenly accelerated, flying deeper into the ghostly mist.
Xing Yixuan transformed into a blur, closely following the runes.
Song Wen fell out of the blood mist, a laceration on his left waist from which blood gushed out, a horrifying sight.
Fortunately, it was just an external injury and nothing serious.
He used his Law Power to temporarily seal the wound and stop the bleeding.
Song Wen took out a healing pill, which Zhang swallowed whole. Before he could even circulate his inner energy to refine it, he released his Divine Sense and looked around.
After confirming that the surrounding area was safe, Song Wen used his movement Movement Method to dash towards the nearby mountain.
Song Wen knew very little about this secret realm and was wary of encountering unknown dangers.
Therefore, he did not use his full strength when he used the Blood Escape Technique, and only escaped for more than thirty miles, not far from the foot of the mountain.
Xing Yixuan could catch up at any moment.
This is not a place to linger!
Song Wen had already planned this out.
The higher you go, the denser the ghostly mist becomes.
He planned to use the Corpse King Reincarnation Art's resistance to the ghostly mist to climb up the mountain and escape Xing Yixuan.
This mountain is devoid of any life; the entire mountain is bare, with exposed rocks and no trace of vegetation.
Song Wen flew cautiously, clinging closely to the mountainside, and quickly climbed more than fifty miles.
The concentration of ghostly mist here is more than ten times denser than at the foot of the mountain, almost comparable to the outer area of Misty Ghost Domain. Song Wen's Divine Sense can only probe a distance of five zhang.
Song Wen pondered that Xing Yixuan probably wouldn't easily set foot in this place.
He slowed his escape speed and began to explore the surroundings, searching for a suitable place to heal his wounds.
After traveling several more miles, a platform suddenly appeared before Song Wen.
Due to the pervasive ghostly fog, visibility was extremely poor, and his Divine Sense was limited, so he had no idea what was in front of the platform.
Song Wen landed on the platform and carefully stepped forward.
After walking about several hundred feet, Song Wen came into view a towering Cave.
The cave entrance, towering several meters high, loomed in and out of the ghostly mist, resembling the gaping maw of a ferocious beast, inspiring fear in all who beheld it.
Looking at the dark cave entrance, Song Wen couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
He was unsure whether to go in or not.
He climbed up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, and along the way the mountain was unusually smooth, with no cracks or Cave to hide in.
The Cave in front of us has obvious signs of being carved by humans. These marks have become mottled and fragmented after being eroded over countless years.
In hidden realms, man-made ruins often conceal treasures, but also harbor dangers.
The Xing Family's Nascent Soul Cultivator have explored this Nethergod Mountain Secret Realm multiple times, yet they still attach great importance to it.
This clearly shows that the Xing Family failed to obtain the treasure inside.
This gives a glimpse into the extreme danger of the secret realm.
Just then, the ghostly mist above suddenly began to churn violently.
A Wraith suddenly burst forth from the ghostly mist.
The Wraith spirit looked extremely strange.
It has three human heads, a snake's body, four arms, and six insect-like legs.
The Wraith's three heads, each face twisted and terrifying, reveal endless resentment and pain.
It is like an aggregate of multiple living souls, forcibly mixed together by some unknown force, forming such a twisted and bizarre existence.
