System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

In an instant, the sound of swords rang out, and the sword light was dazzling, like blinding meteors streaking across the sky.

The two sides had only been in contact for a few breaths when a large number of Xuanzhi Poisonous Bee corpses fell from the sky like raindrops, and the ground was littered with the remains of various strange beasts.

It was clear that the slain poisonous bees and alien beasts were all fatally wounded, and did not even have the chance to return to the hive to recover.

"how is this possible?"

As the one who commands a vast number of insect beasts, Chong Xiangyu felt this particularly strongly at this moment, watching helplessly as the number of her insect beasts decreased rapidly.

"How can he be so powerful? At this rate, my high-level insect beasts will be slaughtered in less than ten breaths."

"Are we going to have to use that secret technique?"

Just as Chong Xiangyu's face showed fear, her master Qing Tianyulou's rebuke suddenly rang in her mind: "What are you waiting for? If you lose this battle, you will be of no use."

"No, Master, I'll go right away!"

Watching Chen Xuan, like a dragon, continuously slay a large number of insects and beasts and gradually approach her, Chong Xiangyu knew that if she did not use her desperate secret technique now, it would be too late to use it once the opponent had advanced enough distance.

Chong Xiangyu recalled her tragic life. Adopted by the sect at a young age, she harbored boundless gratitude and love for it. For the sect's expansion, she willingly became a treasure offered to Young Master Yulou by the higher-ups, becoming his plaything. Unfortunately, in this young master's eyes, all her efforts to please him ultimately amounted to nothing more than being a disposable object.

“How tragic, how lamentable… Master, junior brother, if there is an afterlife, let us meet again.”

As Chong Xiangyu recalled her short life, tears of resentment welled up in her eyes. She had fantasized countless times about seeing her master and junior brother again, but now it seemed that all of that had vanished.

wow——

Tears streamed down her face, and Chong Xiangyu's eyes turned utterly crazed. She gripped a jade flute, its surface covered in strange runes, in her other hand.

"Purple Mansion - Reversal!"

"To feed the Gu with one's own body!"

As the murmurs faded, blood mist began to spray from the skin of Chong Xiangyu's body. This blood mist, caused by the forbidden technique, surged towards the jade flute in her hand after it was sprayed out.

Hululu--

The unique and piercing flute music seemed to connect with some mysterious link, and Chong Xiangyu's face began to turn as pale as paper, and her originally crystal clear and warm jade-like skin gradually lost its luster.

"Chi chi chi——"

"Hooho-"

As Chongxiangyu played the forbidden flute, a technique costing lives, the Xuanzhi Poison Bees and numerous hybrid beasts that had been entangled and obstructing Chen Xuan all raised their heads and let out painful roars.

This bizarre scene naturally did not escape Chen Xuan's eyes. He immediately sheathed his sword and quickly retreated.

"A forbidden technique?" Chen Xuan looked at Chong Xiangyu's condition with great curiosity. He felt that this forbidden technique was different from the ones he had seen before.

"break!"

Before Chen Xuan could release his divine sense to investigate the aura of the Insect Fragrance Jade, he heard the Insect Fragrance Jade let out a sharp howl.

Then, a scene that will be unforgettable for a lifetime unfolded.

The poisonous bees and strange beasts that had been attacking and blocking Chen Xuan from above and below suddenly exploded into two huge blobs of flesh and blood with this shrill howl.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, the urgent flute music rang out again, instantly echoing in every corner of the treasure hunt.

"What, fusion? This is..."

"Extraterrestrial beast-taming evil magic?"

"This seems to be a desperate secret technique of the Extraterrestrial Beasts Sect?"

Clearly, among the cultivators present, only the two members of the God-Slaying Guard knew the origin of this secret technique. The God-Slaying Guard belonged to the Xuanxiao Royal Family organization, which kept records of the strange and mysterious secrets of various regions.

As everyone stood there stunned in disbelief, the two clumps of flesh began to merge under Chong Xiangyu's reckless manipulation, gradually forming a poisonous insect with eight wings. This insect had already departed from its original insect-beast form, and a long mouthpart grew below its enormous eyes.

"My God, a group of low-level insect beasts, through this evil magic fusion, actually fused into a strange beast with the aura of the Myriad Manifestations Realm in a short period of time?"

"This is troublesome. Although this eight-winged poisonous insect's aura is unstable and it may perish at any time, the desperate methods it unleashes in a short period of time are definitely not something that a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm can withstand."

"To be able to unleash such a heaven-defying evil technique, the price would probably be the life of that girl in animal skin, right?"

Such a shocking scene prompted cultivators from all sides to analyze it in secret.

Because of this huge disparity in strength, many people have even begun to regret betting on Chen Xuan to win.

"Chen Xuan, how dare you disregard me like that just now! If you don't admit defeat this time, you will surely die!" Qing Tian Yu Lou sneered inwardly when he saw the shocked and horrified expressions on the faces of the people present.

"kill!"

"Drip, drip, drip—"

After using this life-draining secret technique, Chong Xiangyu's once flowing black hair began to turn pale.

However, she continued to play her flute, controlling the eight-winged poisonous insects as they crushed towards Chen Xuan.

"Why bother?" Chen Xuan stood with his sword in hand, looking at the eight-winged poisonous insect that was rapidly attacking with flapping wings, and couldn't help but shake his head. "I originally wanted to fight you a little longer."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, while looking up at the smug smile on Qingtian Yulou's face on the second floor.

"Since you're so confident, then let's end it here."

buzzing-

The eight-winged venomous insect flew at an extremely fast speed, stirring up the surrounding air currents like surging waves. Chen Xuan's white hair swayed from side to side in the knife-like gale.

blah-

As the eight-winged venomous insect attacked and drew near, its mouthparts, several meters long, stabbed fiercely toward Chen Xuan's head.

Chen Xuan flipped his right hand, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and instantly transformed into a swimming dragon. He not only easily dodged the fatal stab, but also appeared above the eight-winged poisonous insect as if in a flash.

"hold head high--"

"die!"

The Jade Dragon Slash flipped and slashed down, unleashing gusts of wind that seemed to exceed the limits of what the naked eye could see. Most of the cultivators present only caught a glimpse of a white light, sweeping down from above and instantly past the enormous eight-winged poisonous insect.

"puff!"

The sword light swept past the eight-winged venomous insect. Before the insect could even react and fall to the ground, the insect-suppressing jade, who was controlling it, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered backward. Her eyes, as she looked at Chen Xuan, were filled with deep fear and disbelief.

"Wake it up for me!"

Unwilling to accept defeat, Chong Xiangyu played her jade flute again before the venomous insect, about to fall to the ground, was killed. Sure enough, the huge and hideous wound on the eight-winged venomous insect began to heal, and its eight wings began to vibrate again, though at a much slower pace than before.

Seeing that the woman was still stubborn, Chen Xuan directly drew his sword and transformed into a phantom, attacking Chong Xiangyu herself.

"slow!"

Just as Chong Xiangyu was reorganizing the eight-winged poisonous insects to continue blocking Chen Xuan and fight him to the death, Qing Tian Yu Lou on the second floor suddenly interrupted loudly, shouting: "Brother Chen Xuan, please show mercy! In this battle, Qing Tian Yu Lou concedes defeat!"
