Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er were at the bottom of the Nether Pond, being constantly pulled by the powerful suction. The surrounding darkness seemed to swallow them up, and the endless pressure hit them like a heavy hammer. Between life and death, Xiao Muchen's fighting spirit was running wildly, and the two kinds of fire power, the Nether Poison Fire and the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame, were running through his meridians, colliding and merging with the strange energy in the Nether Pond.

The heat of the strange fire and the coldness of the energy in the spring intertwined, bringing unspeakable pain. Xiao Muchen felt that every inch of his meridians was burning and freezing, as if being cut by thousands of sharp blades. But he knew that he couldn't give up at this moment. He clenched his teeth, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he tried his best to guide this violent energy to flow through his meridians.

Lin Wan'er was beside him, her pretty face twisted in pain. She released all her fighting spirit without reservation, echoing Xiao Muchen's aura, trying to resist this terrible pressure together. Her clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to her body, but her eyes were firm, her hands were clenched tightly, and her nails were almost embedded in her palms.

Just as they were about to be swallowed by darkness, the two of them gathered their strength to the extreme. Xiao Muchen felt his meridians being hit by a violent and almost uncontrollable energy, and his body seemed to be torn apart alive. The pain almost made him faint. But he gritted his teeth with his tenacious will and tried his best to guide the energy to run through his meridians.

Lin Wan'er also had a painful expression on her face. She could clearly feel that her body and soul were being tested to their limits, but there was always a voice in her heart shouting: Don't give up! You must persevere!

Finally, when they were almost in despair, the energy gradually stabilized in their bodies. Xiao Muchen felt a cool feeling spread throughout his body, and his meridians were greatly expanded and strengthened. He successfully broke through to the peak of the eight-star Dou Zun. Lin Wan'er also broke through to the peak of the seven-star Dou Zun, and the aura around her became stronger and more stable.

Powerful force instantly erupted from their bodies, like a surging wave, dispersing the terrible suction. Xiao Muchen pulled Lin Wan'er up, and a trace of joy flashed in their eyes, turning into two streams of light and rushing towards the spring.

"Wow!"

They broke through the water, their powerful aura spreading like a storm. Water splashed around them, and the sun shone on them, reflecting a layer of brilliant light.

Before they had time to enjoy the joy of the breakthrough, several sounds of breaking through the air were heard in the distance.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er looked stern and alerted instantly. They saw a group of strong men in different clothes rushing towards them. Their eyes were full of greed and desire, and they were obviously attracted by the huge energy fluctuations generated when they broke through.

"Hmph, these two people must have obtained a treasure in the Mingtan Spring, which is why there is such a powerful energy fluctuation!" A strong man shouted, his voice full of eagerness and greed.

Xiao Muchen's eyes swept over the crowd, and his heart sank. Among this group of strong men, there was actually a super strong man who had reached the peak of the nine-star Dou Zun. This man was tall and had a stern face. The terrifying pressure emanating from his body made the air around him seem to solidify. The strength of the rest of the people should not be underestimated either, most of them were between seven and eight stars Dou Zun.

"Hand over the treasures, and I'll spare your lives!" The Nine-Star Dou Zun peak expert said coldly. His voice was like ice, making people shudder. At the same time, he took a step forward, and his powerful aura pressed towards Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er.

Xiao Muchen's eyes were cold, and he responded fearlessly: "If you want the treasure, just use your ability to get it!" His voice was firm and powerful, full of determination.

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Muchen rushed out like lightning. The Star Sword shone brightly, and the Netherworld Poison Fire and Wind and Thunder Fury intertwined on the sword, turning into a gorgeous fire dragon, carrying the power of destroying the world and attacking the Nine-Star Dou Zun peak strongman.

The strong man waved his hands, and a thick energy barrier appeared instantly. The fire dragon collided with the energy barrier, making a deafening roar, sparks bloomed like fireworks, and the powerful impact caused the surrounding space to be temporarily distorted.

Xiao Muchen's sword was blocked by the energy barrier, and the recoil force made his arm numb, but he was not afraid at all. He mobilized the fighting spirit in his body again. The power of the Netherworld Poison Fire and the Wind and Thunder Fury became even stronger, burning the energy barrier madly.

"boom!"

The powerful impact caused deep cracks to appear on the surrounding ground, spreading out like a spider web. Debris was lifted into the air and then fell back down.

Lin Wan'er also waved her staff without hesitation, casting a powerful spell. Rays of light shot towards other strong men like sharp arrows. Wherever the light reached, the air was burned and distorted, making a "sizzling" sound.

The Nine-Star Dou Zun peak warrior shouted angrily and quickly formed seals with his hands. A huge energy palm appeared out of thin air and slapped towards Xiao Muchen with overwhelming force. Wherever the palm passed, the wind whistled, as if it was going to smash everything into pieces.

Xiao Muchen dodged the attack like a ghost. At the same time, he concentrated his mind, and his soul power burst out instantly, turning into an invisible sword, stabbing at the opponent's soul.

The strong man didn't expect Xiao Muchen's soul power to be so strong. He was careless and his soul was injured by Xiao Muchen's attack. He groaned in pain and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Damn it!" The strong man roared, with a hint of madness in his eyes. He launched a more violent attack again, and as his hands danced, countless energy balls shot towards Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er like a rainstorm. Each energy ball contained terrifying power, and once it exploded, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xiao Muchen dodged the energy ball flexibly while continuing to look for opportunities to attack the strong man. His figure shuttled through the explosion of the energy ball, and the corners of his clothes were scorched by the aftermath of the explosion, but his eyes remained firm and calm.

Lin Wan'er used her full strength to cast spells to block the energy balls that were shot at them. Her staff kept waving, shining brightly, forming a series of solid shields. Every time a shield was hit by an energy ball, ripples would appear, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.

After a fierce battle, Xiao Muchen finally caught a flaw in the opponent. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and his soul power burst out with all his strength, like a surging torrent, rushing directly into the soul of the strong man.

The soul of the strong man was instantly destroyed by Xiao Muchen's powerful soul power. His body lost control and fell straight down, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The other masters were frightened when they saw this. They originally thought they could easily seize the treasure, but they didn't expect Xiao Muchen to be so powerful that he could defeat a master at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zun. Fear spread in their hearts, and they fled in all directions.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This body can be left to Saint Xuanying to refine his body." Xiao Muchen said, his eyes sweeping over the corpse on the ground.

Lin Wan'er nodded, "Let's leave this place quickly. The six-month period is almost up, and we have to return to the sect quickly to resist the Dark Alliance."

The two men did not dare to stay for long. Their figures turned into two streams of light and quickly left the Dark Valley, rushing towards the direction of the sect, and their figures disappeared into the sky.
