That pure black sword light, Soundless, pierced out from the shadows behind Li Xi, aiming straight for his vital heart.
The killing intent was deadly, yet it was contained to the extreme, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, striking to kill instantly.
Above the crater, Li Xi's body suddenly stiffened.
She didn't turn around.
Her body beneath the white robes tensed instantly, a sharp Sword Intent emanating from her, poised to strike.
However, just before that Sword Intent was about to erupt, she seemed to sense something, and her tense body strangely relaxed.
She forcefully suppressed the Sword Intent that was about to be unleashed.
Su Yu stood below, taking in the entire scene.
interesting.
Faced with such a decisive blow, they actually gave up resisting.
The pure black sword light suddenly stopped less than half an inch from Li Xi's back.
Not a single gust of wind leaked out; the control was terrifyingly precise.
A figure emerged from the shadows.
The newcomer was tall and slender, dressed in the same attire as the Azure Sword Manor, but wearing a ferocious wolf mask on his face.
"Junior sister, you're too slow to react."
A hoarse, teasing voice came from behind the mask.
Li Xi turned around abruptly, glaring at the newcomer with a mixture of anger and annoyance.
"Senior brother! Don't you know that people can scare each other to death!"
The Shadow Guard, known as Lone Wolf, sheathed his black short sword.
He removed his mask, revealing an ordinary face, yet one that exuded a sense of weariness.
His gaze passed over Li Xi and landed on Su Yu on the rock below. It lingered for a moment before shifting away, as if he were merely confirming an insignificant presence.
"Within this secret realm, there are no fellow disciples," Lone Wolf's voice returned to its calm tone, "Only hunter and prey."
Su Yu looked at Lone Wolf. He could sense that the other party was very strong, and his aura was even more perfectly concealed than that of the Three Blood Shadow Fiends.
They truly lived up to their reputation as the Shadow Guard of the Demon Suppression Bureau; they were very professional.
Lone Wolf ignored Su Yu and turned to Li Xi to give instructions.
"There are four Blood-Veined Fruit in total, distributed across the four perilous locations of the secret realm. Each fruit taken will break the seal of a Half-Step Earth Realm guardian demon."
Li Xi's expression turned serious.
Four fruits, four Half-Step Earth Realm demons.
This means that, in addition to the Blood Demon Octopus that Su Yu just killed, there are three other terrifying beings of the same level in the secret realm.
" Chen Hao has already escaped. Zhao Chengkong's Half-Step Earth Realm demon servant might not have dared to attack under those circumstances," Lone Wolf continued his analysis. "The real threat is Chen Hao."
He paused, seemingly considering his words.
" The Duke Chen's Residence probably has ulterior motives in sending out these places."
Be careful!
Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded. He knew very well that from the moment he killed Chen Yu, he and the so-called Duke Chen's Residence had long been irreconcilable enemies.
The Lone Wolf put its wolf mask back on and waved to Li Xi.
"They're gone."
Before he finished speaking, he flashed and transformed into a faint shadow, disappearing into the distant dense forest.
Li Xi glanced one last time at Su Yu below; the black figure appeared exceptionally lonely and powerful amidst the rolling heatwave.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she only nodded slightly, then activated her movement technique and followed the Lone Wolf's steps.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yu was the only one left in the entire crater.
There was also a scene of utter devastation, and the corpses of demons exuding powerful auras.
Su Yu held the Half-Step Earth Realm Blood Baleful Intent Crystal Core in his hand.
The violent energy surged in his palm, causing the Mystic Iron Pagoda Baleful Intent within his body to begin to stir with excitement.
What are the trump cards of the Duke Chen's Residence?
Perfect timing! He was also eager to see what it was that made even the Demon Suppression Bureau's Shadow Guard so wary.
However, before that...
Su Yu's thoughts sank into his sea of consciousness.
[Host: Su Yu ]
[Cultivation Level: Qi Refinement Mystic Realm Fourth Level, Spirit-Refining Mystic Realm Third Level, Body-Tempering Mystic Realm Eighth Level ]
[Cultivation Techniques: Myriad Manifestations Prison-Suppressing Intent (Profound) Supreme Subtlety, Mystic Iron Pagoda Baleful Intent (Profound) Mid- Subtlety, Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Scripture (Spiritual) Supreme Level Perfection]
[Martial Arts:...]
[ Slaughter Points: 519000]
Having slain the Blood Demon Octopus, and with the points accumulated previously, my Slaughter Points have now surpassed 500,000.
A huge sum of money.
Having just broken through in Body Refinement and Qi Refinement refinement, his foundation still needs to be solidified.
Therefore, there is only one choice left.
Spirit Refinement.
Faced with the unknown trump cards of the Duke Chen's Residence and other potential risks in the secret realm, balanced development is the only way forward.
"System, upgrade the * Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Scripture *."
[Ding! 100,000 Slaughter Points consumed, " Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Scripture " upgraded to the Subtlety!]
boom!
A colossal wave surged within Su Yu's mind.
The towering Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Platform, infused with energy converted from massive amounts of Slaughter Points, began to expand and grow rapidly.
The original nine-story platform instantly transformed into a colossal tower that enveloped the entire sea of consciousness.
On the tower, countless profound and intricate purple-gold divine runes flowed endlessly, each rune containing the supreme rules of suppression, judgment, and imprisonment.
An unprecedented surge of immense spiritual power emanated from the giant tower, flowing back into Su Yu's divine soul essence.
At this moment, the strength of his soul surged at an unbelievable speed!
Click!
The barrier of the Spirit-Refining Mystic Realm Third Level shattered instantly.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your Spirit Refinement has broken through to the Mystic Realm Fourth Level!]
The immense energy showed no signs of abating and continued its upward surge.
The bottleneck of the Mystic Realm Fourth Level was broken through in an instant without even a moment's resistance.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your Spirit Refinement cultivation has broken through to the Mystic Realm Fifth Level!]
At the same time, a completely new understanding surged into Su Yu's mind from that towering Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Tower.
[Ding! The " Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Scripture " has reached Subtlety, and you have mastered the ultimate killing move— Prison-Suppressing Soul Chain!]
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes.
The whole world, in his perception, became completely different.
He could clearly "see" every wisp of primordial energy flowing in the air, "hear" the sound of the wind blowing through the dense forest ten miles away, and even "smell" the burning sulfur deep within the underground magma.
This is a higher-dimensional perception.
A thought flashed through his mind.
A chain, formed from pure spiritual energy and radiating a faint purplish-gold luster, Soundless emerged from his sea of consciousness and wrapped around his fingertips.
The chains were covered with ancient runes that suppressed the soul.
Prison-Suppressing Soul Chain.
This is his new trump card.
However, that alone is not enough. Su Yu turned his attention to the Purple Firmament Heavenly Thunder Art, and with a thought, began to add points to it.
