Practice begins with immortality

In the central area of ​​the ruins, outside the blood-red light curtain.

"Thank you Miss Zhao for your reminder just now, otherwise we would have been trapped in this blood-colored light curtain and would not have been able to get out." Wu Hao and Cheng Wushuang thanked Zhao Qingling respectfully, their faces full of gratitude.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingling simply said, "No need to thank me. Since I have already promised to take you to Zhonghuang Continent, I will naturally not break my promise."

After that, Wu Hao asked cautiously, "Miss Zhao, how about we leave now? After all, it's quite dangerous here. You are of noble status, so there's no need to put yourself in danger."

Zhao Qingling shook her head and replied coldly, "Don't worry, I have a trump card. Not to mention a blood servant, even if the Blood Soul Demon Lord himself comes, I have a way to escape unscathed."

Hearing this, Wu Hao and Cheng Wushuang exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with admiration. They knew Zhao Qingling was powerful, but they hadn't expected her to be so unfathomable, even managing to escape unscathed from a late Nascent Soul cultivator.

After saying this, Zhao Qingling looked at the two of them again and continued, "Besides, Li Youying is also a genius. It would be beneficial for us to personally witness his life-and-death battle with the Blood-Depleted One."

Wu Hao and Cheng Wushuang nodded, understanding Zhao Qingling's intention. Witnessing a fierce battle between two geniuses would undoubtedly be beneficial for improving their own strength and experience. Furthermore, if Li Youying had a chance of defeating Xue Ku, they could offer their assistance and establish a good relationship with him.

Elsewhere, Li Youying, wielding the Soul-Splitting Blade, engaged in a fierce battle with Xue Ku. The two had already engaged in over ten rounds, with neither side claiming victory. While Li Youying relied on the power of his magical weapon, he knew that with his late Jindan cultivation, even with the aid of a magical weapon, he could only hold out for a hundred rounds at best.

After another fierce exchange, both sides retreated dozens of meters. At this moment, Li Youying shouted, "Miss Zhao, please lend me a hand! If you can break through this light curtain, I will give you this magic weapon!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, it's not that I don't want to help, but this blood-colored sky curtain was set up by the Blood Soul Demon Lord, and it can only be broken by a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, I can show you a way out." Zhao Qingling paused briefly, then continued, "As far as I know, the Blood Infant secret technique used by Xue Ku can only last for half an hour. If you can hold out during this time, the Blood Infant will lose its strength to the False Infant level, and due to the backlash of the secret technique, its cultivation level will temporarily decline. Then, killing him will be a piece of cake."

Hearing this, Li Youying's mind suddenly became clear. He took a deep breath and shouted to the others in the blood curtain, "Please help me and fight Xue Ku together! I promise to hand over this magic weapon afterward. Besides, Xue Ku is a ruthless demon and will not let you go!"

However, upon hearing Li Youying's words, no one responded immediately. They weighed the pros and cons, wondering whether they should help Li Youying fight against Xue Ku. After all, Xue Ku was formidable, and the magic weapon in Li Youying's hands was also very tempting.

After some deliberation, everyone made a decision. Those who had gathered together began to disperse, and each of them offered their own protective treasures, obviously preparing to sit back and watch the fight.

"One of these two is holding a magical weapon, and the other possesses the strength of a fake infant. If we go in now, we might die. It's better to wait for them to wear each other down for a while before attacking," a cultivator whispered. A cunning glint flashed in his eyes, clearly intending to bide his time and reap the benefits.

"That's right. When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured. Let's hide first and wait for them to decide the winner before attacking. Then, no matter who wins, we'll have the opportunity to rob them of their treasures and the magic weapon," another cultivator echoed. He also had ulterior motives, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity.

Most of them think so. After all, it is more beneficial for them to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between the two tigers than to make promises.

"Hehehe, you little beast, no one can help you now! This situation is really... exactly what I want!" Xue Ku said with a strange laugh, but after that he did not continue to attack Li Youying.

Xue Ku transformed into a shadow, instantly arriving in front of a Jindan cultivator. His first strike shattered the protective treasure, and his second reduced the cultivator to a bloody mist. He then opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the blood mist and the Jindan into his stomach, refining them in an instant.

"What?!" Xue Ku's actions shocked everyone present, and they were all confused by Xue Ku's behavior.
