I long to return home!

"I just killed a blood mosquito, who would have thought its ancestors would chase after me like that?" Xue Wu said helplessly, covering his face.

"So what do we do now? We've already met, why don't we go together?" Su Changfeng asked Xue Wu, who was standing to the side. Xue Wu's combat strength was the strongest among the disciples participating in the trial in terms of one-on-one fighting ability. As an alchemist, Su Changfeng's combat ability would be much inferior. If he could follow Xue Wu, he could definitely solve most of the problems.

“That’s no problem, but I’d like to know where we are right now?” Xue Wu peeked at the golden sand through the gap between his two fingers.

"If I'm not mistaken, we should have arrived in the Water Domain. My Water Spirit Root is reacting," Xu Tao said, placing his hand on his chest, which was emitting a faint blue light.

"Water area? Does that mean we've arrived at the meeting point ahead of time? Shall we adjust ourselves first before going to find weapons?" Xue Wu said.

"no problem."

"can."

Seeing that they shared the same opinion, Xue Wu sat up and started a fire on the beach. Su Changfeng used his wood spirit root to add some fuel to the fire. Then, everyone took off their wet clothes and put them by the fire to dry. The three grown men chatted about their future plans by the fire.

“I see. I originally intended to crush the jade slip and leave as soon as I found a wood-attribute spiritual weapon, but given the current situation, I should first help Brother Xu find his sword, then wait for Elder Lin's spirit beast, and then return to the Wood Domain to find a spiritual weapon for me. Finally, I will go to the Fire Domain to find a spirit sword for Brother Xue.” Su Changfeng analyzed the current situation and said to the two people in front of him.

"I'm not in a hurry. I haven't decided which weapon to use yet," Xue Wu said.

"Huh?! Aren't you Elder Lin's disciple? Yunfeng also cultivates swordsmanship as his foremost practice. Don't you use a sword?" Su Changfeng asked with a slight frown.

"Didn't Master teach you the Cloud Peak Sword Technique and its moves?" Xu Tao asked in surprise, as if he had heard something extraordinary.

"I did pass it on, but I have no interest in sword practice. I only learned the basics and haven't touched it since," Xue Wu said casually, feeling it was no big deal.

Upon hearing this, the two felt as if the sky were about to fall. They knew that Xue Wu was highly talented and had strong combat power, but this combat power did not include the strength of his swordsmanship. He could remain invincible simply by relying on his cultivation level without practicing any techniques.

"Senior Sister Gu, run!"

A scream came from not far away, followed by the sounds of fighting. Xue Wu and the other two were startled and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Soon after, a slightly tired Gu Qingcheng arrived with several Qingfeng disciples, followed by more than a dozen trial participants dressed in black and purple.

"Gu Qingcheng?! The ones behind her are disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect." Su Changfeng recognized them at a glance and exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Qingcheng also saw the three people with their upper bodies bare, warming themselves by the fire. Her pretty face was a little shy, but at this critical moment, this was undoubtedly a lifeline. She then shouted to the disciples behind her, "Hurry up, there are fellow disciples ahead." As she spoke, she made hand seals, and water elemental barriers rose up, blocking the Wan Du Sect disciples who were chasing her from behind.

"Senior Brother Su, Senior Brother Xu, save me!" Gu Qingcheng ran behind Xue Wu and the other two and collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

"What's going on?" Xu Tao asked anxiously.

"It was...it was the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect who ambushed us. Four or five of our fellow disciples have already died," said a Yufeng disciple whose arms were emitting black smoke.

"Stop talking and take the antidote pills." Su Changfeng took out several refined antidote pills from his storage bag and tossed them to the surviving Yufeng disciples. Then he personally gave Gu Qingcheng a Qi-replenishing pill.

"Su Changfeng! Xu Tao!"

"I never expected to meet three core disciples here. Zhao Mouyun is really lucky."

"Zhao Sanniu, you dare to kill my Luoyun Sect disciple! You will not leave safely today!" Xu Tao roared, and a water sword materialized in his hand.

"Go quickly and tell Second Brother that Xu Tao and Su Changfeng have been found here. Tell Second Brother to bring more disciples over." Zhao Sanniu whispered to the disciple beside him, then looked at Xu Tao and the others with a smile and said, "Xu Tao, do you really think you can kill me? You only have three Qi Refining Perfection cultivators, a bunch of injured weaklings, and a weakling sitting by the fire. What do you have to fight against my dozen or so Qi Refining Eleventh Level disciples?"

"Huh? Weakling? Are you talking about me?" Xue Wu looked at Zhao San Niu with a puzzled expression, as if trying to confirm whether the "weakling" was referring to him.

"Stop looking, I'm talking about you, you weakling." Zhao Sanniu said sarcastically when he saw Xue Wu's gaze. His main task now was to delay as much as possible so that his second brother, Zhao Erniu, could arrive and wipe out the three elites of Luoyun Sect.

"No, Niu San, what are you barking at your mother like a dog?" Xue Wu said angrily as he put on Ruogu and cursed at Zhao San Niu.

"You...you just wait and see." Zhao San Niu was speechless. He couldn't afford to cause trouble now; with his strength, he would simply be killed by three disciples who had reached the peak of Qi Refining.

Xue Wu walked slowly toward Zhao Sanniu with a fierce look on his face, gently opening his right hand, a flash of lightning in the corner of his eye.

"Junior brother, be careful. They are skilled in using poison." Xu Tao watched Xue Wu walk away, his water sword turning into water vapor and dissipating. Xue Wu alone could handle this situation, but he still reminded him with concern.

Seeing this, Su Changfeng took out a high-quality antidote pill from his storage bag and threw it, which landed squarely in Xue Wu's hand.

"You dare to fight alone? Then you'll have to pay the price for your arrogant words just now," Zhao Sanniu sneered, a victorious smile appearing on his lips. He waved his hand behind him, "Step back, lest you get hurt later." As he spoke, rock crystals appeared in his palm.

"Today I'll let you taste the poison of the earth." Zhao Sanniu slammed his palm heavily on the ground.

The area where Xue Wu was located was surrounded by a stone wall several meters high, with a distance of three meters, leaving no gaps. Then, brown poisonous powder spread from inside the stone wall.

"My earth-based poison will enter your body with every breath, slowly aging your organs. You can just wait to die." Zhao Sanniu laughed heartily, his scheme having succeeded.

"Really? But why can't your poison get close?"

Xue Wu's mocking laughter came from inside the stone wall.

boom! boom! boom!

Xue Wu swung his fist and smashed it against the stone wall three times. The stone wall crumbled in a few breaths, and then Xue Wu walked out with flames all over his body. The reason why pure fire is pure is that it can burn away all filth. How could mere poison powder get close to his body?

"Impossible?! How could my poison powder not get into your body?" Zhao Sanniu looked at Xue Wu in disbelief and took a few steps back in fear.

"Want to know? I'll tell you." Xue Wu appeared in front of Zhao Sanniu in a flash and then punched him twice in the face.

Zhao Sanniu knelt on the ground, clutching his eyes, wailing. His screams caused the remaining Wan Du Men disciples to stumble back a few steps.

"Oh, right, and you guys too." While the Wan Du Sect disciples were still in a daze, Xue Wu came up to them and punched them twice in the face. Even a crab crawling over at this moment would get kicked twice.
