Zhu Xian: The way of heaven collapses, and I only have one sword!

Chapter 51: Sea of ​​Bitterness, Black Water Snake!

In this dark and damp Necromancer Abyss, golden light became the only bright color, dispelling the surrounding chill and fear. The light reflected on Lu Xueqi's beautiful face. Her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a strange color in her eyes.

"It seems that Qi'er has mastered the Golden Light Curse. Let's go." Chen Qiye said as he stretched out a hand towards Lu Xueqi.

Lu Xueqi nodded and gently placed her hand in Chen Qiye's palm. The two of them continued to move forward in the Undead Abyss hand in hand.

The surrounding spirits, intimidated by the golden light surrounding them, dared not approach, but they still surged and swirled in the distance like a black tide, emitting waves of eerie low moans. With every step they took, it felt as if countless pairs of resentful eyes were watching them from the darkness.

After walking for a long distance, a large, sturdy tree appeared in Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi's sight. There was not a single living thing beneath the Dead Abyss, so the sudden appearance of this tree seemed particularly strange.

Chen Qiye frowned slightly, held Lu Xueqi's hand tightly, and whispered, "Be careful, this tree is here in a strange way."

Lu Xueqi nodded slightly, the golden light around her growing stronger as she surveyed the tree warily. As they approached the tree, it suddenly shook violently, countless branches cascading down from its branches, and a large crack slowly opened up in the trunk, emitting a pungent, fishy odor.

Facing the tree branches coming towards him, Chen Qiye took a deep breath and had no intention of testing them. He quickly grasped them with both hands, muttering to himself, "Nine Heavens respond to the Origin, thunder roars everywhere, purple lightning descends, cleansing the world!"

In an instant, the sky changed color, and a purple lightning bolt shot out from Chen Qiye's palm like a dragon, blasting straight at the wildly dancing tree branches. Wherever the purple lightning passed, the branches were reduced to charred black fragments, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning.

The tree demon, struck by the powerful purple lightning, let out a shrill wail, its voice so sharp it seemed to pierce the deadly silence of the Necromancer Abyss. The once stout trunk was rapidly carbonized by the purple lightning's ravages, countless cracks appearing on its surface, and large chunks of bark peeled off and fell in a flurry.

The tree demon seemed unwilling to accept its demise. From its battered body, a thicker black mist gushed forth. The mist swirled, attempting to resist the force of the purple lightning while also frantically absorbing the energy of the surrounding Yin spirits. Those Yin spirits, previously deterred by the golden light, were forcibly drawn in by this suction force and merged into the black mist.

Seeing this, Chen Qiye's eyes became stern, and the purple lightning became more and more dazzling. It rushed through the bodies of the tree monsters. Wherever it went, the black mist dissipated instantly and the tree branches were smashed to pieces.

The tree demon's wails grew fainter, its resistance growing increasingly powerless. As the purple lightning continued to bombard it, its trunk finally couldn't withstand the overwhelming force and collapsed, stirring up dust that spread wildly across the dark Necromancer's Abyss.

After the tree demon was reduced to ashes, peace returned to the Undead Abyss, leaving only deathly silence.

"Now that we're done, let's move on." Chen Qiye said with a smile.

The two continued to grope forward in the Undead Abyss. The darkness around them seemed to have life, constantly squeezing in and trying to swallow them up.

At this moment, a faint sound of footsteps came from one direction. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the darkness in the distance, and in the light, a woman in a light green dress slowly walked out.

"It seems to be an acquaintance." Chen Qiye murmured softly, and the person who came was Bi Yao whom he "accidentally met" in Shanhai Garden.

Bi Yao had obviously seen the two of them, and she hadn't expected anyone to be alive beneath the Dead Soul Abyss. When she saw Chen Qiye, enveloped in golden light, a flicker of surprise crossed her face, and then she smiled and said, "Young Master, we meet again."

Chen Qiye raised his lips slightly and responded politely, "I didn't expect to meet you again in this Dead Abyss."

Lu Xueqi looked at Bi Yao calmly. Although the golden light around her did not weaken, there was a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

"How come you, disciples of Qingyun Sect, have come to a place like this? This is not the place you should come to. How long have you been here? Have you found the Bleeding Cave?" Bi Yao said with a slight smile.

"What bleeding cave?" Lu Xueqi frowned and said.

As the words fell, the smile on Bi Yao's face slowly faded, but she remained calm and said, "You so-called righteous people, if you weren't after the things in the Bleeding Cave, why would you come to a place like this?"

"Who are you?" Lu Xueqi asked.

Bi Yao nodded slightly, and the flower between her fingers drew an arc in the air with her hand. She smiled sweetly and said, "Am I not the evil witch of the cult that you all hate so much?"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi smelled a strange fragrance at the same time. A white light suddenly appeared, and a white flower appeared in front of the two of them. It broke into pieces in an instant and attacked them.

"It would be boring to launch a sneak attack." Chen Qiye smiled indifferently and raised his hand to snap his fingers.

In an instant, the air around him seemed to be stirred by an invisible force. With him as the center, a circle of transparent ripples quickly spread out and collided head-on with the white flower fragments that were splitting and attacking him.

This force seemed invisible, yet it possessed the force of a tidal wave. The moment the flower fragments touched the ripples, it was like colliding with an impenetrable wall of steel. The previously fierce attack came to an abrupt halt, and the strange power contained in the petals was instantly dissipated. The delicate petals began to twist and deform, as if pulled by a powerful force, turning into powder and dispersing in the dark air of the Necromancer Abyss, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

When Bi Yao saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She thought that with the sad flower in her hand, she could easily subdue Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi, but the young man in front of her easily resolved her killing move with a seemingly casual attack. This made her have a new assessment of Chen Qiye's strength.

Just as Bi Yao was surprised, another light appeared behind her. Although it was also bright, this light was darker. A tall, veiled woman emerged from the light and stopped beside Bi Yao. With her appeared six men in yellow.

At this moment, the eight people in the group all looked at Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi. "Biyao, be careful." Youji looked at Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi and whispered.

Bi Yao was a little surprised. She turned her head to look at the woman and said, "Aunt You, what did you see?"

"The magic weapons in their hands are the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon Qiu Shui Wuhen and the Tianya Divine Sword." You Ji nodded and said.

While they were talking, Chen Qiye turned to look at Lu Xueqi and whispered, "That masked woman can easily hold me back, so get ready to run."

Lu Xueqi was slightly startled, then nodded calmly, tightly gripped the Tianya Sword, circulated spiritual power throughout her body, and was ready to cooperate with Chen Qiye to escape at any time.

Chen Qiye held the Autumn Water Without Trace in his hand and waved it. Two balls of green sword energy, like two nimble green snakes, leaped out. They bared their fangs and claws, and a sharp wind wrapped around them, hissing and whistling, as if they wanted to shred everything around them.

The fierce sword energy was heading straight for You Ji and the others. Seeing this, the members of the Demon Sect cast spells to resist.

You Ji quickly formed seals with her hands, and a black light curtain instantly unfolded in front of her. The light curtain was like a bottomless pool of ink, emitting an eerie aura. The sword energy collided with the light curtain, making a harsh friction sound and stirring up layers of black ripples.

While everyone was resisting the sword energy, Chen Qiye suddenly grabbed Lu Xueqi's hand, tapped the ground lightly with his feet, and retreated quickly like a stream of light.

"This little guy is very strong." After erasing the sword energy, You Ji took a deep breath and said.

Bi Yao frowned and said, "Aunt You, what do you say?"

"Catch up with them." You Ji said.

Chen Qiye pulled Lu Xueqi and flew on the sword in the Abyss of the Dead, with You Ji and others chasing closely behind. After a while, everyone vaguely heard the sound of flowing water.

Bi Yao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Aunt You, this should be the Merciless Sea, right?"

You Ji sighed softly and said, "Infatuation only brings heartless suffering. Yes, this is the most mysterious of the five seas, the Heartless Sea."

"Legend has it that the bleeding cave under the Undead Abyss is right by the Merciless Sea. It seems that after three days of searching, we are finally about to find it." Bi Yao nodded.

You Ji did not reply, but remained silent.

Bi Yao looked at this scene with some surprise, but she didn't take it to heart. She turned to look at Chen Qiye and said, "Okay, I'll catch you first, and then go find that bloody hole!"

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the six men in yellow stepped forward together, ready to take action.

At this moment, Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi had already reached the edge of the Merciless Sea, with no way out. Seeing this, Bi Yao smiled slightly and surrounded them with six men in yellow.

At this moment, huge waves rose up on the ruthless sea, the sound of waves was deafening, and the waves were several feet high. The people on the shore had different expressions and could hardly stand.

You Ji was startled and quickly said, "Bi Yao, retreat quickly!"

Bi Yao was shocked and retreated quickly without thinking. When she did so, the six men in yellow also retreated.

Seeing the changes in front of him, Chen Qiye naturally knew what they were going to face next. Without thinking too much, he quickly retreated with Lu Xueqi.

Everyone looked towards the Merciless Sea and saw two huge, dark green lights slowly lighting up on the dark surface. Upon closer inspection, the lights weren't ordinary circles, but rather long, thin shapes running from top to bottom. The two thin slits in the middle, in particular, revealed a cold and menacing aura.

"It's it, it's it." You Ji's body trembled slightly, and she said in disbelief, "This beast is not dead yet!"

"Beast? Aunt You, what is this thing?" Bi Yao said with a hint of horror.

You Ji looked at the huge monster that was getting closer and closer on the Merciless Sea and said with some fear, "Black Water Mystical Snake."

Bi Yao was shocked and a little bit unbelieving. She said in astonishment, "Wasn't this thing killed by the mythical yellow bird in the Great Western Swamp a thousand years ago?"

As the words fell, the creature known as the Black Water Mystic Serpent slowly appeared before them. Its lower body was coiled, and its upper body, standing upright in mid-air, was already dozens of feet tall, like a mountain. At that moment, its radiant green eyes coldly gazed down upon the crowd, who to it were like ants.
