Shi Xuan: Is That So? I Don't Believe It

Within the White Bone Valley, deathly energy swirls, obscuring the sun; even in broad daylight, it is as dark as night.

Fortunately, Shi Xuan already has night vision, so day and night make no difference to him.

He paced slowly through the valley, long sword in hand, fully alert, ready to draw his sword at the slightest sound.

Rustle, rustle.

The valley was eerily quiet; apart from Shi Xuan's own footsteps, no other sounds could be heard.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Shi Xuan had already walked over a thousand steps in this valley, but still hadn't encountered a single Bone Demon.

This puzzled him greatly. Just as Shi Xuan was about to change direction, a strange noise suddenly came from not far away.

Shi Xuan immediately stopped and turned his gaze to the direction from which the sound came.

Dozens of Bone Devil, some humanoid and some beast-like, were seen chasing a woman dressed in white.

The woman in white was covered in wounds, and her clothes were riddled with holes, revealing a large, open area underneath.

However, Shi Xuan didn't stare at the woman. Instead, he looked thoughtful, wondering why a female cultivator had appeared here.

The female cultivator's eyes lit up when she saw Shi Xuan, and she immediately cried out, "Young Master, save me!"

"Good."

As Shi Xuan spoke, he thrust his sword forward.

Clang!

A Sword Qi pierced towards the woman in white and the group of Bone Devil behind her.

The woman in white instinctively dodged to the side when she saw the Sword Qi approaching.

In the blink of an eye, the Sword Qi pierced through all the Bone Devil, and in an instant, all the Bone Devil collapsed to the ground with a crash.

"Call..."

The woman in white clutched her chest and let out a long breath. "Thank you so much for saving me, young master. I have no way to repay your kindness, and I am willing to offer myself to you."

"Snort!"

Shi Xuan snorted lightly, "There's no need for you to repay me with your body. You should put your clothes back on first, then take me to the lair of these Devil Creature, and we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."

He naturally didn't believe that a hero could save a damsel in distress in a place like White Bone Valley. Although he hadn't used his full strength in that sword strike, cultivators below the Heavenly Origin couldn't possibly dodge it.

The woman in front of me actually dodged in the first place. With her strength, how could she be chased by a group of Bone Devil at the Dao Foundation Realm? It seems that the woman in front of me is a Bone Devil at the Heavenly Origin Realm stage in disguise.

Although he didn't know what the Bone Devil wanted to do, Shi Xuan wasn't in a hurry to expose it. He would wait until he entered the Bone Demon's lair before going all out to give it a big surprise.

"Promise."

The woman in white obediently responded, then took out a set of clothes from her storage ring and changed.

After a while, the woman in white finally spoke, "Young master, do you really want me to take you to the Devil Creature's lair? There are many terrifying beings there. Even my fellow disciples who were at the Life Elixir Realm perished there. If it weren't for my good fortune in having my sect's protective treasures, I probably wouldn't have been able to see you."

Shi Xuan said calmly, "Don't compare me to your useless fellow disciples. Lead the way."

"Promise."

The woman in white turned around and led the way, a slight smile unconsciously playing on her lips.

Little did she know that Shi Xuan was watching her every move, but Shi Xuan didn't say anything and quietly followed behind the woman in white.

The two continued on their journey, and after half an hour they arrived at a river of blood.

The woman in white pointed to the opposite bank of the Blood River, then turned and said, "Young master, the lair of those Devil Creature is in a cave on the opposite bank of the Blood River. Inside, there is a ten-thousand-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom. Our group risked everything to obtain that ten-thousand-year-old Blood Spirit Mushroom, but who knew..."

"Continue leading the way."

Shi Xuan didn't listen to her nonsense.

Seeing that Shi Xuan was so unyielding, the woman in white thought to herself, "Another arrogant and conceited genius. Let him be smug for a while. Once he enters the Blood Bank Cave, I'll make sure he never returns. His luck will also belong to me."

The two flew across the blood river on their swords and arrived outside the cave in the blink of an eye.

The woman in white feigned fear and said, "Young master, there are countless Bone Devil inside; I dare not go in."

"Don't worry, with me here, no Bone Devil can hurt you. Let's go."

Although Shi Xuan's tone was calm, it carried an undeniable air of authority.

The woman in white stopped speaking and quietly walked into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, the first thing you see is a long, narrow, and dark entrance.

After walking several hundred steps, the two suddenly saw a clear view.

A spacious cave appeared before Shi Xuan. Inside, many Bone Devil Bone Devil dozing off, and every now and then one or two could be seen patrolling.

The woman in white had just stopped when she heard a clang.

The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her back. She instinctively looked down and found that her body had been pierced by a sword.

The woman in white turned to look at Shi Xuan in surprise, and subconsciously asked, "When did you find out?"

Shi Xuan said calmly, "When you dodged my sword strike."

"Hahaha..."

The woman in white let out a piercing, sinister laugh, "Little fellow, you're quite capable. I'm growing to like you more and more. But do you really think you have me under your thumb?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman in white before him vanished into thin air, and at the same time, countless eerie green will-o'-the-wisps lit up in the cave.

In the blink of an eye, the entire cave was brightly lit.

The Bone Devil that had been dozing off earlier opened their eyes and stared at Shi Xuan with ferocious expressions.

"That's interesting."

Seeing this scene before him, Shi Xuan said with great interest.

Inside the cave, the voice of the woman in white echoed once more.

"Little guy, you're about to die, and you're still being stubborn."

Shi Xuan looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw a beautiful woman dressed in white fly out from the depths of the cave, hovering in mid-air, looking at him with disdain.

He said unhurriedly, "Is that so? Then I'll see today just how capable you are, this Devil Creature, that you're confident you can suppress me?"

The beautiful woman said, "Young man, do you know why I have been able to live in this White Bone Valley for tens of thousands of years without being suppressed?"

"Because you are weak, no one else bothers to deal with you."

Shi Xuan said in a very serious tone.

"Snort."

The beautiful woman snorted coldly, "That's because there's a formation in my cave called the Ten Thousand Bones Spirit-Severing Formation. Even cultivators at the Spirit Nurturing Realm would find it difficult to escape unscathed from my formation. You could say that within my cave, I am invincible among those of the same realm."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Shi Xuan said with a playful expression, "Unless you show me."
