Huang Changhe said loudly, "Junior brother, do you still remember that year when we took the exam for the Outer Disciple of the True Yang Martial Sect together?"
Li Dashan, "Are you referring to that theft case? Now that I think about it, who's behind it shouldn't be a secret, right?"
Huang Changhe laughed loudly, "Junior brother is clever, but does junior brother know who helped me to make it so flawless?"
Li Dashan fell silent. Deng Qing noticed that the miasma in his bloodshot eyes was rising again. His mind raced, and he shouted, "Master, don't believe his nonsense. That old thief will definitely say it was done by that Senior Xia."
He's deliberately trying to unsettle you, adding embellishments to unverifiable events, just like how I left a letter to Zhang Quan in response."
Deng Qing Song Wuliang, the leader of the Golden Saber Sect, about the past events involving Huang Changhe and Li Dashan, and knew of the existence of a Senior Xia.
Song Wuliang joined the True Yang Martial Sect a few years later than the others, and he addressed that Senior Xia as Senior Sister.
At this point, Deng Qing became aware of the existence of this love triangle.
At this moment, Deng Qing listened quietly from the side. After only hearing the beginning, he guessed where Huang Changhe was going to steer the conversation.
He quickly spoke up first, to prepare in advance and prevent Li Dashan from overthinking things.
In fact, he had no evidence to prove that Huang Changhe was lying, but he simply ruled it as a lie.
He also cited his own experience of leaving a letter to frame Zhang Quan as an example, an incident in which Li Dashan was involved. Afterwards, Deng Qing explained the cause and effect, and Li Dashan naturally understood how wronged Zhang Quan was.
Therefore, when Deng Qing mentioned this matter, he categorized Huang Changhe's tactics into this type.
At this moment, the waning miasma in Li Dashan's eyes proved that he had come to his senses, and also proved that Deng Qing's scheme had worked.
Huang Changhe glared at Deng Qing, "You brat, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Deng Qing sneered, "Hey Huang, I also have a story to tell. Want to hear it?"
Huang Changhe sneered, "Either you run away now and I'll let you live a little longer, or you shut up, or I'll kill you even if it means sacrificing your Blood Corpse."
Deng Qing said, "You, surnamed Huang, are better at bragging than at actually doing anything."
All you can do is parrot my master's ideas, add some mystical energy, and make a monster-like body. If you've got the guts, come and fight me one-on-one."
Deng Qing knew that facing Huang Changhe at this moment was dangerous, but he also knew that Li Dashan needed time to digest the Blood Baleful Intent. He was confident that he could use the Collapse Step to deal with the situation.
Clearly, Huang Changhe understood Deng Qing's intentions and ignored him, continuing to say to Li Dashan, "Junior brother, you know, if Junior Sister Xia hadn't secretly put things under your bed, who could have gotten into your room?"
"Fine, since you don't believe me, let's tell you the second secret."
"You old scoundrel, you're so despicable, all you can do is make dirty jokes. I really despise you."
You first betrayed the Imperial Court, then the Donghuang Cult, and at least you were a man of courage and integrity. But now, what you're doing is no different from the lowest pimp in a brothel...
Deng Qing roughly guessed Huang Changhe's plan and continued to anticipate his moves; he was always quick-witted.
With just a few words, Huang Changhe was so enraged that his three spirits leaped into a rage. "You little thief, I'll kill you!"
Huang Changhe unleashed Air-Splitting Palm, but Deng Qing activated his Collapse Step, dodging them with a series of swaying movements.
Li Dashan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, and lunged at Huang Changhe.
Huang Changhe retreated repeatedly, "Junior brother, don't rush. You should absorb the Xuan Sha properly. Don't damage your body, or your Senior Brother will worry about you."
To be honest, Junior Sister Xia wasn't particularly beautiful, but her skin was incredibly fair. Bathed in moonlight, she looked like a jade maiden; what was even more remarkable was her radiant complexion...
" Huang Changhe, I'll tear you apart!"
Li Dashan roared repeatedly, but his movements slowed down, as if he were being forcibly pulled back by something, and the miasma in his eyes almost filled his pupils.
"Master, Huang Changhe has been impotent for a long time. That old bastard doesn't even know what it's like to be with a woman. His level of lewd jokes is so low, what kind of skill is that?"
Deng Qing shouted, "If you'd like to hear, I have plenty of ready-made stories here. The first one is: Huang Changhe empties the prostitute's urine, and the green-headed turtle carries the prostitute's shoes."
Huang Changhe never dreamed that Deng Qing was so insidious. He was so angry that he yelled and screamed, wishing he could abandon Li Dashan immediately and kill Deng Qing first.
But reason told him that doing so would only fall into Deng Qing's trap.
Huang Changhe simply circulated his True Qi silently, shutting off his hearing, and only spoke through his mouth, "Once, when Junior Sister Xia and I were making love, in the heat of passion, she called out your name."
Junior Brother Li, tell me, isn't that bitch infuriating? I gave her a good beating...
Deng Qing knew he was doomed. He realized that Huang Changhe had definitely shut down his hearing, and there was no point in using psychological tactics anymore.
He began urging Zhang Yan and the others to leave quickly, promising to protect Li Dashan to the very end.
Zhang Yan and the others knew they were at their limit and that staying would only cause more trouble, so they helped each other leave.
Deng Qing's mind raced as he memorized the terrain. He touched the remaining Dust-Evolving Pearl and the substitute doll in his Waist Pouch, pondering a plan to escape should the plan fail.
He desperately wanted to shut Li Dashan's hearing as well, but he knew it was impossible.
Li Dashan's body was filled with all sorts of complex Sha Qi, making it impossible for him to mobilize his Internal Breath to block his hearing.
Deng Qing could only wait for the collapse to happen. He stood far away, even at the entrance of the passageway.
Soon, Li Dashan went mad. He roared wildly, and the stone surface beneath his feet collapsed with a crash, sending rubble flying in all directions like cannonballs.
Li Dashan's muscles tensed up suddenly, and the veins on the side of his neck bulged so much that they almost burst through his skin.
His chest heaved violently, each breath he exhaled accompanied by a dull thud.
The Wasteland Bone on the blood vine in his palm had already turned into a phantom image, and crackling sounds burst out like popping beans.
Clearly, Wasteland Bone is also nearing its limit.
"There's one more thing, and it's the last secret, Junior Brother. You absolutely must know that Huang Yunfan's birthday is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the year of Bingwu."
Li Dashan stopped his rage and glared at Huang Changhe with bloodshot eyes.
"The year of Bingwu was the year you were forced to leave the mountain."
Huang Changhe spoke slowly, as if afraid that Li Dashan might not hear him clearly, "In March of that year, apart from using a little trick to send you down the mountain, I was basically in seclusion the rest of the time."
Junior Brother Li, you should think carefully about whose son Yunfan is.
Li Dashan's heavy breathing suddenly stopped as his mouth opened, and the miasma in his eyes rapidly dissipated.
Huang Changhe laughed even more heartily, "That child has called me 'Dad' for so many years."
Li Dashan's body trembled violently.
Immediately afterwards, a violent aura burst forth from his body, causing the Blood River Vine wrapped around his arm to creak and groan.
"By the way, Yunfan just died this month."
Huang Changhe pointed at Deng Qing, "If I'm not mistaken, I should die at the hands of your little apprentice."
Deng Qing's face turned ashen. He thought he had done a flawless job, but it turned out that Huang Changhe had guessed it all along.
Huang Changhe said slowly, "A son doesn't know his father, and a father doesn't know his son. It's quite a spectacle that a disciple killed his son."
However, this is ultimately your own business, and it's not appropriate for an outsider like me to interfere, so I didn't think about avenging Yunfan.
I'm telling you this today because I want to ask you, your own father, if you're willing to avenge Yunfan.
After saying this, Huang Changhe burst into laughter, which echoed between the stone walls.
Li Dashan suddenly looked up, and the miasma that had disappeared instantly filled his eyes.
He opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out. His chest swelled up inch by inch, and his face, which could no longer be called a face, was completely distorted.
The next instant, a roar exploded.
The blood vines wrapped around his arm crumbled inch by inch, turning into a phantom of Wasteland Bone. Finally, unable to withstand the pressure any longer, they exploded into fragments with a bang.
Two severed fingers were also caught in the debris and thrown out.
Li Dashan's size was once again spurred to grow exponentially, with the joints on his back bulging out one after another, his flesh being torn open, and a row of even taller bone blades growing out.
The lower jaw continued to protrude forward, the fangs grew wildly, and even the bridge of the nose was squeezed down.
The last vestiges of Li Dashan's human form will never be seen again.
Suddenly, the roar stopped.
Li Dashan, now transformed into a monster, stood motionless amidst the rubble, his mouth and nose spewing out murky blood.
Huang Changhe's laughter suddenly rose, shaking the walls, "I've succeeded! I've succeeded!"
He unleashed his hearing, striking out with both palms simultaneously. Blood Baleful Intent transformed into numerous threads that hurtled towards Li Dashan Li Dashan, piercing his chest, abdomen, and back in an instant.
Li Dashan's body trembled, but he still did not resist.
"A decade or more of planning?"
Huang Changhe clenched his fists, his eyes filled with wild joy. "Who hasn't been planning for over a decade! This is the day I've been waiting for!"
He stared at Li Dashan's body, now transformed into a terrifying monster, his voice trembling, "A top-grade Blood Corpse! This is what a top-grade Blood Corpse truly is! It's just a pity it couldn't enter the Great Furnace first. However, this body and these decades of accumulated strength are more than enough!"
Huang Changhe seemed to have gone mad, talking to himself, seemingly forgetting that Deng Qing was still at the entrance of the passageway.
Just as he was laughing wildly, another strand of silk thread pierced into Li Dashan's body.
Huang Changhe's laughter abruptly stopped, his eyes flashing with a sharp light as he locked onto Deng Qing. "You little thief, I've been waiting for you! I knew you wouldn't give up! Now, you can come and throw yourself into hell again!"
In an instant, Huang Changhe released even more Blood Baleful Intent threads from his palm, which pierced into Li Dashan's body.
Those dark red threads quickly branched out, surrounding Li Dashan's body from all sides, encircling the Blood Baleful Intent threads that Deng Qing had probed in, and then wrapping them tightly layer by layer.
Deng Qing's fingertips suddenly felt heavy, as if her arm was being pulled by something.
The two Blood Baleful Intent clashed and intertwined, using Li Dashan's body as their battleground.
Li Dashan, who had been standing still, began to bulge in his chest and abdomen, his muscles sometimes tensing and sometimes collapsing.
Huang Changhe laughed even more smugly, "You've actually mastered the Pure Jade Method to this extent, kid. Even I'm jealous of your talent."
Furthermore, you actually have the luck to obtain Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood. I don't know how many Desolate Soil I ran through back then just to collect this little bit of Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood.
It's a pity that your Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood is only at the Initial Baleful Intent; you haven't even touched the threshold of Baleful Intent Condensation.
"You dare to argue with me?"
Blood Baleful Intent surged from his palm, binding Deng Qing's Blood Baleful Intent threads tighter and tighter. "Fine, I'll use your Blood Baleful Intent to nourish my own. Today, I'll refine you along with me!"
As they were talking, Huang Changhe suddenly launched a surprise attack, unleashing a Air-Splitting Palm through the air.
Deng Qing dared not relax for a moment, using his Collapse Step to dodge with ease.
"Impressive Movement Technique."
Huang Changhe sneered repeatedly, "Fine, I'll save my energy. Why aren't you spouting nonsense anymore? Aren't you going to continue making up stories about me?"
"Want to beg for mercy? No problem, as long as you kneel down and beg for mercy, I might spare you..."
Deng Qing glanced at Huang Changhe, "You fucking talk too much nonsense."
Huang Changhe was furious. "Fine, fine, I'll refine you to death!"
At this moment, Huang Changhe fully activated the Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood, pulling at the Blood Baleful Intent threads that Deng Qing had inserted into Li Dashan's body.
As Huang Changhe pulled, he noticed something different; it seemed he couldn't budge it.
What horrified him even more was that the Sha Qi within Li Dashan's body seemed to be flowing—how could that be?
Li Dashan's Meridians and acupoints had been sealed off by a massive amount of Sha Qi, and his six senses and five perceptions were also blocked, so he could be considered dead.
The only difference between him and the dead is that he can still be refined into Blood Corpse. The Sha Qi in his body has already solidified, so how could it still be drawn out?
At least, the Pure Jade Method could never achieve that.
The next instant, Huang Changhe was horrified to discover that the Sha Qi within his body was also being stirred up, along with his Qi-Blood.
The Sha Qi and Qi-Blood that were stirred up converged into Li Dashan's body along the Blood Baleful Intent threads, and were then absorbed by Deng Qing's Blood Baleful Intent threads.
Huang Changhe was so shocked his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "This is impossible!"
The next moment, Deng Qing opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
He remained motionless, continuing to follow the steps, circulating the Devour Heaven Scripture again and again.
The Qi-Blood and Sha Qi that flowed into his body along the Blood Baleful Intent threads were quickly broken down. The usable part was gathered into his Dantian, while the rest of the useless Sha Qi was wrapped in his Qi-Blood and expelled.
Huang Changhe grew increasingly horrified. He was astonished to discover that the Blood Baleful Intent surrounding Deng Qing was rapidly thinning.
"What on earth is going on?!"
Huang Changhe couldn't understand it. He suddenly pulled his hands together, and the blood threads tightened instantly, but he couldn't pull the Blood Baleful Intent threads out of Li Dashan's body.
"How is that possible!"
Huang Changhe stared intently at Deng Qing, unable to understand how his carefully planned scheme to eliminate Deng Qing's Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood could have resulted in this outcome.
"The Pure Jade Method has absolutely no such effect! What kind of evil skill are you practicing!"
Huang Changhe roared angrily.
Deng Qing sneered inwardly.
Eat the heavens, eat the heavens, devour all living beings under heaven.
These mixed and chaotic Wasteland Blood aren't unrefinable; it's just that I disdain refining them. Why put myself through the trouble of refining perfectly good, pure Wasteland Blood?
You, Huang Changhe, with your lousy " Pure Jade Method," dare to challenge me?
Even though the situation was already hopeless, Deng Qing insisted on waiting at the entrance of the tunnel.
It all depends on Huang Changhe's tactics. If Huang Changhe moves Li Dashan away, Deng Qing will have no choice but to retreat.
However, if Huang Changhe refines it on the spot, Deng Qing feels that he will definitely use the Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood, and then his opportunity will come.
As expected, Huang Changhe used the Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood. It wasn't that he couldn't wait to refine Li Dashan; rather, he was deliberately plotting against Deng Qing.
In any case, Deng Qing's opportunity has arrived.
He possesses the Grand Mastery level of the Devour Heaven Scripture. As long as the battle is entangled and mutually refining between the two Great Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood, even though Huang Changhe possesses the Baleful Intent Condensation level of the Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood, Deng Qing has extraordinary skills and will not be inferior to Huang Changhe.
At this moment, Deng Qing gritted his teeth and pushed the Devouring Devour Heaven Scripture to its limit, causing his extraction ability to rise sharply.
The heat flowing into his body along the blood vessels had turned from a trickle into a torrent.
As his Qi-Blood and Sha Qi were continuously drained from his body, Huang Changhe finally became afraid.
He retreated abruptly, trying to retract the Blood Baleful Intent. He tried to activate the technique several times, but the blood threads not only failed to retract, they became even tighter.
What's even more terrifying is that it's not just the Sha Qi within him that's being lost.
The blood in his body, along with the life force that sustains this Mutation body, is gushing outwards along the bloodline.
The Blood Baleful Intent injected into Li Dashan's body actually became conduits for transporting Qi-Blood to Deng Qing.
Huang Changhe noticed that the skin on the back of his hand was starting to loosen, and his Mutation physique was also starting to shrink.
Huang Changhe was filled with shock and rage, "You little thief, die!"
He struck out with a palm strike filled with hatred, aiming straight for Deng Qing's head.
Deng Qing remained on guard against this move, and with a Collapse Step, he spun around Li Dashan to the other side.
The palm strike landed on Li Dashan's shoulder with a muffled thud. Li Dashan swayed but remained standing in place, as if the palm had struck a rock.
Huang Changhe followed up with two more palm strikes, while Deng Qing constantly changed position, his body sticking close to Li Dashan, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, the blood lines on his fingers lengthening with each step he took.
Li Dashan's terrifying demonic body happened to become a wall between the two of them.
Huang Changhe struck Li Dashan several times in succession.
Although Li Dashan's flesh was dented from the beating, his skeleton held him firmly in place.
Huang Changhe grew increasingly anxious as he fought, his own Qi-Blood continuously leaking out, yet his palm strikes never landed on Deng Qing.
He wanted to pursue, Deng Qing always managed to get ahead of him with his Collapse Step.
Huang Changhe's heart sank.
However, Deng Qing's situation was by no means rosy.
As the extraction proceeded, Blood Baleful Intent began to accumulate in Deng Qing's body. The Blood Baleful Intent caused his skin and flesh to swell, and his sleeves gradually tightened.
The amount of Wasteland Blood that surged in was simply too great.
The Devour Heaven Scripture had already reached its limit, but a large amount of Blood Baleful Intent that could not be utilized was still accumulating in his body, causing his muscles and bones to gradually stretch outwards.
Deng Qing spat out another mouthful of black blood, his vision gradually blurring at the edges, but he knew he couldn't stop.
Suddenly, Li Dashan let out a low, hoarse gasp.
As the Blood Baleful Intent within his body were continuously drawn out, the miasma in Li Dashan's eyes finally dissipated somewhat, and his pupils seemed to twitch.
Huang Changhe was horrified. He absolutely refused to believe that things could be reversed at this point.
But everything that happened to Deng Qing was too miraculous; how could he not believe it?
Without further hesitation, he bit his tongue hard, spitting blood into his palm, and then stabbed his own chest with his fingers.
Instantly, Huang Changhe's face contorted in pain, and he let out a scream. A Sphere rolled off his body; it was the Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood of the Baleful Intent Condensation level that Huang Changhe had refined.
There were still many threads on that Sphere, which were entangled into Li Dashan's body.
As Deng Qing drew out the Sphere, it instantly transformed into threads, passing through Li Dashan's body and being guided into Deng Qing's palm.
Huang Changhe's eyes widened in fury as he lunged at Deng Qing.
Helpless, he was constantly entangled by the Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood and could not unleash his full power to attack Deng Qing at close range.
At this moment, he abandoned the Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood in order to finish off Deng Qing in close combat.
"You little thief! Prepare to die!"
Huang Changhe spread his five fingers, unleashing his power with hatred. Even before his palm strike arrived, the surrounding air currents vibrated, like a thunderclap.
Just as he was about to grab Deng Qing, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of him—it was Li Dashan.
His eyes were still filled with a savage aura, but there were clearly gaps in them now.
Huang Changhe felt a chill in his heart. It was too late to retreat. He quickly changed his stance, unleashing the full force of his Mighty Vajra Hand, and struck Li Dashan's chest.
Li Dashan didn't dodge or yield; his hands clasped together with lightning speed, controlling Huang Changhe's body.
Li Dashan gave a deep shout and suddenly spread his arms outwards.
In an instant, screams echoed throughout the hall.
Huang Changhe's body was torn in two in mid-air, and blood splattered down, covering Li Dashan's head and face.
He hurled the two severed pieces of his body violently, which crashed into a stone wall in the distance.
Where Li Dashan's feet landed, a deep pit suddenly appeared.
He raised his head, his mouth smeared with blood, and in the next instant, a roar burst from his throat.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Deng Qing tried to withdraw the Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood, but found that the part of the Blood Baleful Intent that had been inserted too deeply was firmly absorbed by the mixed Sha Qi in Li Dashan's body.
Deng Qing could only desperately extract and absorb the portion of the Sha Qi from the Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood Fiend Silk, while Li Dashan went berserk, violently swinging his fists and attacking in all directions.
In an instant, the massive Stone Pillar was smashed in half by his blow.
Li Dashan, however, crashed head-on into the falling rocks, causing the entire stone wall to cave inward, and cracks rapidly spread.
After Li Dashan's relentless attack for a hundred breaths, Deng Qing finally withdrew the Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood, and his entire being transformed into a monster with a blue face and fangs.
It turned out that in order to escape, he had almost exhausted all his efforts to extract the Sha Qi from Li Dashan's body, resulting in an accumulation of too much Sha Qi in his body in a short period of time.
At this moment, his vision was extremely blurry, and his consciousness was gradually fading.
Suddenly, Li Dashan shattered a large number of Stone Pillar, and with each one he shattered, a surging column of water shot out.
Finally, the underground river behind the rock wall was discovered.
The icy river water, carrying silt and sand, gurgled in and quickly became a torrent.
Then, several large rocks fell and blocked the river's path, causing the water level to rise rapidly, which then swept away the rocks and rushed down to lower ground.
Deng Qing's vision became increasingly blurred until the surging waves finally struck him.
Deng Qing staggered half a step and finally plunged headfirst into the water.
The river water rushed over his mouth and nose, and he instinctively struggled, only to be swept away by the even stronger current.
Rocks continued to fall from above, and the surging river water swept through the cracked earth, dragging Deng Qing's Mutation body into the deep darkness.
