Ling Xue's laughter echoed in the miasma, and the face on the umbrella twisted into a whirlpool.

When she opened her eyes again, Shen Daixing found herself in a bloody maze.

The blue brick walls were covered with vein-like lines, and sticky liquid was oozing from every crack.

"Welcome to the Blood Mist Labyrinth." Ling Xue's voice came from all directions. "Every brick here is made of the flesh and blood of vengeful spirits."

Gu Cheng tightly grasped the corner of Shen Daixing's clothes, frowning slightly: "Xingxing, I smell a familiar scent, as if I have seen it somewhere..."

Shen Daixing raised the firefly lamp, and the floor of the maze was covered with fine dragon scales, each of which glowed with a dark golden luster.

Those scales trembled slightly in the blood mist, which was very strange.

"Be careful!" She suddenly picked up Gu Cheng and jumped up. The ground where she was standing suddenly collapsed, revealing a bottomless pool of blood.

There are countless ghosts floating in the pool, which is extremely terrifying.

Ling Xue's figure was faintly visible in the blood mist. "These are all souls that cannot be reincarnated in this world. What a pity..." She gently stroked the human bone carving on the umbrella handle. "I can use them all."

The walls of the maze suddenly began to move, and countless skeletal arms stretched out from the cracks in the blue bricks.

Shen Daixing ran in the narrow passage holding Gu Cheng, but found that there was a dead end ahead.

At this moment, Gu Cheng bit his fingertips and let the blood droplets bounce towards the wall.

"This is the Dragon Bone Formation..."

The bricks touched by the blood beads suddenly glowed, and dragon-shaped patterns appeared.

Only then did Shen Daixing discover that the entire maze was built with complete dragon bones!

Those wandering blood vessels are the embodiment of dragon veins.

"In the southeast, step on the three-inch green scales." Gu Cheng closed his eyes and gestured in the air with his little hands.

Following his guidance, the dragon bone formation began to reorganize, and a spiral staircase emerged from the blood mist.

Ling Xue's laughter suddenly became sharp: "Gu Cheng, you are quite smart..."

She waved her sleeve, stirring up a wave of blood, and the stairs began to collapse.

Shen Daixing held Gu Cheng and jumped onto the last step, but found that there was a bottomless abyss ahead.

In the center of the distance, there is an altar floating, with complex Sanskrit characters engraved all over the strange triangle.

Ling Xue's figure solidified in the blood mist. "Let me see where you can escape to..."

Shen Daixing held Gu Cheng's cold little hand and watched Lin Ruoxue outline the runes with the tip of the umbrella.

Those dark red lines were like living blood vessels, greedily sucking the blood beads oozing from Gu Cheng's fingertips.

"Not bad." Lin Ruoxue turned around and smiled faintly, the teardrop mole at the end of her eye gleaming with a strange light. "But you guys better be careful, this fog... loves to swallow up those who get lost."

Before he finished speaking, thick fog suddenly rolled in.

Shen Daixing subconsciously protected Gu Cheng behind her, and her fingertips were already forming spells.

Ling Xue's figure was looming in the blood mist, and the face on the human bone umbrella twisted into a vortex, emitting a shrill scream.

Shen Daixing's heart trembled, and the karma fire wrapped around the divine pen and condensed in the palm of her hand. Wherever the pen pointed, the blood mist dissipated.

"Today, let's see who is better." Ling Xue's slender jade fingers gently stroked the human bone carvings on the umbrella handle. Those bones suddenly came alive and turned into countless skeleton soldiers that pounced towards the two of them.

"Hold tight!" Shen Daixing picked up Gu Cheng, tapped her toes lightly, and flew up like a swallow.

The sword of karma swept across, burning all the skeleton soldiers that rushed towards it.

However, after the ashes fell to the ground, they condensed again and became even larger in number.

The golden bell on Shen Daixing's wrist hummed in warning.

"Don't look at the fog." Gu Cheng covered her eyes with her small hands, "It's an illusion."

The blood mist condensed into countless sharp arrows. Shen Daixing turned around and held Gu Cheng in her arms.

The karmic fire built a barrier, but when the rain of arrows touched Shen Daixing, it turned into a sky full of red butterflies, which turned out to be vengeful spirits whose skins had been peeled off!

"I underestimated you." Ling Xue's voice suddenly rang in her ears. Shen Daixing felt a chill on the back of her neck, and the tip of the human bone umbrella was already against her vital point.

At the critical moment, Gu Cheng suddenly jumped out of her arms and slapped Ling Xue's heart with his small hand.

Ling Xue was caught off guard and was knocked back several steps by the palm. The face on the umbrella let out a shrill scream.

"You..." A hint of surprise flashed across Ling Xue's beautiful eyes, then turned into fierceness.

The human bone umbrella in her hand suddenly opened, and the human faces on the umbrella twisted into a vortex. The vengeful spirits let out shrill cries and madly hit the barrier of karma fire.

"It's useless." Ling Xue gently stroked the umbrella handle. "I have refined these vengeful spirits. They will continue to haunt you until they devour your souls."

She flew to the top of the altar and said, "Soon, you will become one of the countless resentful spirits..."

Suddenly, Gu Cheng bit his index finger and drew a bloody talisman on Shen Daixing's palm.

The moment the talisman was completed, the sound of breaking chains came from the depths of the maze. Thousands of bone bells resonated with the talisman, causing the blood mist to dissipate.

The dragon scales under his feet suddenly flipped over, revealing a corridor piled with white bones below.

Ling Xue's face changed drastically, and the human bone umbrella suddenly closed, rushing towards the depths of the maze.

Shen Daixing followed closely behind, holding Gu Cheng in her arms, and the Karma Fire Sword cut through the heavy blood mist.

Gu Cheng suddenly trembled in her arms, his pupils showing gilded vertical lines: "Xingxing, she is crying..."

The roar of iron chains struggling came from the depths of the maze, and the entire dragon bone formation began to tremble.

When they broke through the last blood mist barrier, Shen Daixing saw it - nine chains made of dragon teeth pierced the woman's scapula and hung her in the center of the altar.

A dark golden dragon horn protruded from the woman's forehead, but the tip had already rotted and turned black. Countless vengeful spirits were drilling into her skull through the rupture.

Hearing the noise, she slowly raised her head, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from her empty eye sockets.

Although it was filthy, one could still vaguely see that it resembled Ling Xue.

"How come she became like this in just a short while?" Shen Daixing said in surprise.

A dragon roar erupted from Ling Xue's body, and the chains broke with a sound.

When her rotten dragon claws grabbed Shen Daixing, the strong wind it created lifted up the ribbon that bound her hair.

The moment her black hair fluttered, Shen Daixing saw clearly the half-broken Longyuan sword stuck in her heart.

"Hold tight!" Shen Daixing threw Gu Cheng onto her back and drew the Sky-Burning Curse with her magic pen.

The karmic fire spread along the dragon scale patterns, but when it touched Ling Xue, it was swallowed by the blood mist around her.

Gu Cheng said: "It's useless, he swallowed three thousand vengeful spirits..."

Before she could finish her words, Ling Xue's dragon claws had already grabbed Shen Daixing's throat.

The rotten fingertips pierced the skin, and blood dripped onto Gu Cheng's suddenly raised little face.

The child's eyes shone brightly, and he pointed his fingers at Ling Xue's eyebrows and shouted, "Wake up!"

The entire dragon bone formation let out a mournful cry, and the dragon spines embedded in the wall suddenly stood up and stabbed towards Ling Xue's back like sharp swords.

Shen Daixing took the opportunity to break free from the shackles, and the imperial magic pen wrapped in karmic fire pierced through the Longyuan sword in her heart.

The moment the sword shattered, blood and tears suddenly flowed from Ling Xue's empty eye sockets, and the rotten dragon horns began to peel off.

"Now!" The blood drop from Gu Cheng's fingertips bounced towards the triangle of the altar, and the Sanskrit suddenly turned upside down.

Shen Daixing spun around and jumped up, tapping Ling Xue's shoulder with her toes for leverage, and the golden bell on her wrist made a clear sound, breaking through the blood mist.

She saw silver light flowing under Ling Xue's festering skin. It was the dragon soul eroded by the vengeful spirit.

The karmic fire followed the sound waves of the golden bell and penetrated into her seven orifices. Shen Daixing pressed her hands against his forehead with seals: "Purify the soul of filth!"
