I long to return home!

In an instant, Zhao Erniu's fist, crackling with fire and poison, swung towards Xue Wu.

Someone's dead! Someone's really dead! This can really kill someone! Xue Wu couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes, but Zhao Erniu's fist wouldn't stop. The wind from the punch made his long hair fly wildly. Fortunately, Xu Tao blocked the potentially fatal punch in time.

"Junior brother, what are you still thinking about? Fight back!" Xu Tao shouted at Xue Wu, who was standing still.

Su Changfeng and Gu Qingcheng were also engaged in a fierce battle. Although they were both at the peak of Qi Refining, it was still quite difficult for them to fight against dozens of Qi Refining eleventh and twelfth level cultivators at the same time. The Yufeng disciples were already injured and were now surrounded and killed before they could even take out their teleportation jade slips.

"Quick! Crush the jade slip and go!" Su Changfeng shouted to the injured Yufeng disciple after temporarily repelling the Wan Du Sect disciples who were besieging him.

Upon hearing this, the Yufeng disciple hurriedly took out a teleportation jade slip and crushed it. Instantly, a blue light covered his body, and he disappeared from the spot, returning to the sect.

"It's only the first day, why are you all out already?" Ye Yingfeng asked in surprise as he looked at the Rain Peak disciples who came out of the teleportation portal. He knew that the valley was extremely dangerous, but he didn't think they would come back in less than a day.

"Elder, it's the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. They sent a lot of people to kill us whenever they see us, and they're still besieging Senior Sister Gu and the others." A Yufeng disciple said painfully, clutching his injured right hand.

"These beasts from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect dared to openly kill my Luoyun Sect disciples! I will definitely demand an explanation from them!" Huang Jun roared angrily, veins bulging.

...

"Get out of my way! I'm going to kill you today." Zhao Erniu used fire poison to block Xu Tao's path. Although he could not completely defeat Xu Tao, he could at least trap him with ease. He then quickly walked up to Xue Wu and punched Xue Wu in the face with all his true energy.

Just as the fist was about to strike, Xue Wu easily blocked it with one hand, looking at Zhao Erniu with a dazed expression, a wisp of black energy flashing through his eyes from time to time.

"You said you wanted to kill me?" Xue Wu twisted his neck and looked at Zhao Erniu with a sinister expression.

"Yes, if I don't kill you today, I, Zhao Erniu, swear I'm not a human being." Zhao Erniu tried to pull his fist out of the grasp, but it was as if it were welded to the spot and he couldn't move it an inch no matter what he did.

"If you want to kill me, then I'll kill you first." Xue Wu gripped Zhao Erniu's fist tightly, and cracking sounds rang out as Zhao Erniu's hand bones broke inch by inch.

Zhao Erniu howled in pain, his face contorted, his earlier boastful words completely gone.

"Don't spout nonsense! I will kill you today!" Zhao Erniu cried out in pain, raising his other hand to grab Xue Wu's shoulder. He roared and released his fiery poison, engulfing the two of them in a powerful flame.

Suddenly, a glint of fire flashed in Xue Wu's eyes again. Pure fire surged forth, engulfing the fire poison and forming a sea of ​​fire that covered Zhao Erniu's entire body like a ferocious beast. The latter screamed and cried out in agony. At this moment, he also felt fear and tried with all his might to escape the sea of ​​fire, but he was firmly welded to the ground, his flesh burning rapidly until he became a dried-up corpse.

Xue Wu killed someone while he was fully conscious. Although he felt a little unwell, he recovered quickly after a short rest. He felt that killing was just a fleeting moment and nothing serious.

He took a deep breath, the black mist in his eyes dissipating. Looking at the charred, utterly disgusting mummified corpse in his hand, he felt like vomiting, but he still swallowed it down. With a gentle flick, Zhao Erniu's hand separated from his body, his hand firmly held in his grasp, while the body was thrown in front of Zhao Sanniu.

"Second Brother!" Zhao San Niu held Zhao Er Niu's charred body and wept bitterly.

The disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect stared at Zhao San Niu's location, frozen in disbelief. Their leader was dead; were they, the junior disciples, doomed to die if they stayed? Thinking this, they pulled out a teleportation jade slip from their storage bag, about to crush it, when a series of water needles pierced their chests, blood staining their clothes. They collapsed to the ground without realizing it.

The person who made the move was Gu Qingcheng. The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect had killed so many of her Yufeng disciples, how could they possibly let them get away with it?

Zhao Sanniu watched his fellow disciples fall one after another, overwhelmed with grief. The once overwhelming situation was now reduced to him being all alone.

"You wait, my elder brother and senior brother Han Sen will not let you get away with this." With that, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag and crushed it.

Just as the blue light was about to descend, Xu Tao's sword energy struck first, severing Zhao Sanniu's hand that was holding the jade slip. In the end, only one severed arm was sent back, leaving Zhao Sanniu alone.

Zhao Sanniu clutched his severed arm, writhing in pain, unable to speak. He stared intently at Xu Tao, who was wielding his sword. Suddenly, he noticed that Xu Tao and the others were looking at him with terror on their faces.

Hiss, hiss...

A huge black shadow blocked his view. When he looked up, he saw a third-tier magical beast, the Azure Water Python, staring at him greedily. Before he could scream, the Azure Water Python opened its blood-red maw and swallowed him whole.

"Not good, a third-tier magical beast, the Azure Water Python! Its size is at least at the Foundation Establishment stage." Xu Tao looked at the hundred-zhang-tall Azure Water Python in horror. He knew clearly that this was no longer something they could fight against.

Seeing this, everyone took off running. Xue Wu, who had been fearless just moments before, was now far ahead. Xu Tao had already said that this was a magical beast with Foundation Establishment cultivation, so why wouldn't he run? He couldn't beat it anyway, and besides, he was already somewhat afraid of snakes, so his buffs were fully stacked.

Seeing the fleeing crowd, the Azure Water Python stuck out its long tongue and twisted its massive body to give chase.

The enormous body of the Azure Water Python twisted several meters in a single motion, relentlessly pursuing Xue Wu and his companions. It particularly valued Xue Wu, believing that his spiritual energy far surpassed that of the other three, making him an excellent meal. This spurred it to twist its body even more vigorously.

"What should we do now? This beast is getting closer and closer," Su Changfeng said anxiously.

"Is that a cave?" Xu Tao looked around and noticed what appeared to be a narrow cave not far away.

"It's a cave!" Xue Wu exclaimed. It is said that people have unlimited potential in times of crisis, and this is indeed true. He ran over in a flash, his shoes almost sparking.

He reached the cave entrance, shrank back, and slipped through the narrow opening.

"Come in quickly, it's very big inside."

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and quickened their pace, hiding inside the cave as the Azure Water Python pursued them. The Azure Water Python, which had caught up with them, kept ramming the cave with its massive body, causing the ground inside to shake violently and rocks to fall continuously. Fortunately, the cave was sturdy enough that it did not collapse.

"What do we do now?" Xue Wu raised his hand slightly, and a flame ignited in his hand, illuminating the cave.

The cave was damp, but faint water patterns could be seen flowing along the entrance into the depths.

"I don't know. We can't get out of here for now. Let's walk around inside the cave and see if we can find other entrances." Xu Tao said calmly, his thoughts clear. Someone had to take the lead, so he had to stay calm for everyone's safety.
