Below the city gate.

Zi Xiaoya was under tremendous pressure facing the attack of the Nascent Soul worms.

The kestrel's sharp claws could only leave scratches on the worm's shell, and the poison marten's bite was completely ineffective.

"Xiaoya!"

Seeing this, Qi Wei hurried to help, but was entangled by more poisonous corpses.

"There's no other way!" Zi Xiaoya gritted her teeth, formed seals with her hands, and shouted, "Xiaohong! Merge with me!—"

The circling kestrel let out a mournful cry, transformed into a blazing red light, and slammed into her body!

Zi Xiaoya's aura suddenly surged, and red feather patterns appeared on the surface of her body.

Her nails became sharp, and her eyes were filled with a sharp golden light like an eagle. Her cultivation briefly rose to the great perfection of the Golden Core Stage, and she even gained powerful physical strength!

"Ugly thing, watch out!"

She rushed towards the worm and punched it with a sonic boom!

"boom!"

The worm's body trembled and sank a little.

However, the gap between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Golden Core Realm is a qualitative gap.

The worm felt the pain, let out an angry hiss, and swung its huge body violently!

boom!

Even with the support of the Red Falcon, Zi Xiaoya was still whipped away like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a dirt wall and bleeding from the corner of her mouth.

The fusion state was instantly dissolved, and the Red Kestrel wailed and turned into its original form and fell to the ground, looking wilted.

"Xiaoya!"

Qi Wei's eyes were bloodshot.

Li Chonglin was also forced to retreat step by step by Xie Lu.

His sword was unable to cause any effective damage to Xie Lu, and his poison skills were so strange and unpredictable that he was unable to defend himself.

Seeing that the group of poisonous corpses became more crazy under the drive of Xie Lu, the Yuanying worms raised their heads again, and the situation was critical!

Qi Wei glanced at the seriously injured Zi Xiaoya and Li Chonglin who was struggling to hold on, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Li Chonglin! Take Xiaoya away!"

He roared, ripped off the bone bell from his waist, and spat a mouthful of blood on it.

The bone bell instantly burst into a pale light and emitted a shrill buzzing sound!

"Use my cultivation to sacrifice my magical weapon—"

"The sky is hidden in the fog!"

hum...

In an instant, endless thick fog suddenly erupted with Qi Wei as the center, instantly covering an area of ​​dozens of feet!

The fog not only blocked the sight, but also blocked the spiritual consciousness. The poisonous corpses trapped in it were like headless flies, their movements became slow, and even the Nascent Soul worm let out a confused hiss.

Xie Lu’s perception was also cut off instantly!

"go!"

Qi Wei's face was as pale as paper, and his breath was rapidly weakening. It was obvious that he had paid a huge price.

Li Chonglin did not hesitate at all. He instantly flashed to Zi Xiaoya's side, grabbed her and the listless Hong Falcon, and then pulled the shaky Qi Wei.

While the domain was still there, he transformed into a beam of sword light and rushed madly out of the city.

Xie Lu roared repeatedly in the thick fog, but was unable to break through the hiding area cast by Qi Wei.

The three of them ran wildly.

I don’t know how far I ran, until I was completely away from the sand city and there were no pursuers behind me, then I fell down exhausted behind the sand dune.

"Heal first!"

Li Chonglin immediately fed the pill to Zi Xiaoya and Qi Wei.

Although Zi Xiaoya's injuries were serious, they were mostly external.

However, Qi Wei's cultivation level plummeted, his vitality was severely damaged, and he was extremely weak.

"This Sand City mission is a scam," Li Zhonglin said in a deep voice, his face extremely solemn, "We must return to the sect as soon as possible!"

Xielu, desert sandworms, and the strange detoxification technique were far beyond their ability to solve.

However, just as he was about to help the two of them up——

An extremely sharp black axe light came from the side without any warning, carrying with it a monstrous demonic energy!

Li Chonglin reacted extremely quickly, pushing away the two people beside him and blocking with the dragon-patterned sword!

"Qiang——!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

Li Chonglin was so shocked that his blood boiled. He took several steps back and looked at it in horror.

On the sand dune, a man was standing calmly, holding a huge axe.

His clothes were a little torn, his face was cold, his eyes were extremely empty, and a deep demonic aura surrounded him!

"Zhao Zimo?!"

Li Chonglin cried out in shock.

The person in front of him was Zhao Zimo, who had been missing for a long time, but his condition was obviously not right.

"Zhao Zimo?" Zi Xiaoya also recognized him and was confused. "Why are you here?"

Zhao Zimo didn't react at all, as if he didn't recognize them, with only cold murderous intent in his eyes.

He raised the giant axe again, and the demonic energy surged, locking onto the three people.

Li Chonglin tried to wake him up, "Zhao Zimo! It's me, Li Chonglin!"

Zhao Zimo swung his two axes and chopped down as if he couldn't hear anything.

Li Chonglin had no choice but to swing his sword to block again, but the powerful force made his palm numb.

At this moment, Zhao Zimo's strength was several times stronger than before, and his moves were brutal and merciless.

"it's useless!"

Zi Xiaoya struggled to sit up, her face extremely grim. "He...he seems to be controlled again!"

"Again?" Qi Wei caught the word.

Zi Xiaoya looked at the mad Zhao Zimo and said hurriedly, "When he was in Nanzhou, he was controlled by a demon cultivator once, and it almost caused a disaster..."

"Then how did you get away last time?" Qi Wei asked hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Zi Xiaoya stammered, "Yes...it was Lu Yuguan who woke him up...I don't know what method he used..."

Qi Wei wanted to ask more, but Zhao Zimo's attack came again, and the axe wind was so sharp that they could not distract themselves.

An old friend who has become a demon is blocking the way.

Later, a powerful demon cultivator came after them.

The three of them had just escaped, but fell into an even bigger predicament.

Zhao Zimo's eyes were bloodshot, and demonic energy wrapped around his body like boiling black mist. Every time he swung the giant axe, it brought with it violent power, forcing Li Chonglin to retreat again and again.

When the dragon-patterned sword blocked, countless sparks flew out.

"Zhao Zimo! Wake up!"

Li Chonglin shouted again, trying to regain his senses, but the only response he got was a more ferocious hacking.

"It's no use, he can't hear me!"

Zi Xiaoya clutched her chest, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, and was extremely anxious. "He's completely under control. His power is even stronger than the time in Nanzhou!"

Qi Wei struggled to get up, but ended up coughing violently: "Damn it... I can't mobilize my spiritual power..."

The bone bell around his waist had become dim and even had a tiny crack.

Bah!

Just as Li Chonglin was about to struggle against the giant axe again and his sword was about to slip out of his hand, Zhao Zimo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly roared.

"Uhhhhhh-!!!"

He suddenly stopped moving and his body began to tremble violently.

On the surface of the skin, ancient and obscure dark golden lines emerged uncontrollably!

It is the eternal and primitive body!

This was originally Zhao Zimo's supreme treasure body, but at this moment, under the stimulation of the battle, it was forcibly activated!

However, the primordial power did not dispel the evil spirit, but instead intertwined wildly with the evil spirit that invaded his meridians.

The dark golden ancient lines quickly turned inky black, and an even more violent aura rose into the sky!

The ancient and primitive body mutated under the erosion of demonic energy!

"What's wrong with him again!?" Qi Wei cursed.

"Who knows?" Li Chonglin gritted his teeth, his nerves tense. "This guy is more powerful than an animal!"

boom! ——

A powerful air wave exploded with Zhao Zimo as the center, clearing away all the yellow sand around him.

His eyes turned into pure darkness, with only a hint of heart-pounding scarlet flashing deep in his pupils.

What's even more terrifying is that Zhao Zimo's aura continued to rise, and in an instant he broke through the Jindan stage barrier.

Half a step to the Nascent Soul stage!
