I long to return home!

dong dong dong...

Xue Wu walked aimlessly into the dark cave, as if controlled by something. Even when Lei Mengying tried to dissuade him from behind, he walked forward as if he hadn't heard her.

Suddenly, a large amount of malevolent energy appeared in front of him and interacted with the black energy on his body. A moment later, the malevolent energy that had drifted over was directly swallowed by the black energy and then surged into his body.

As the malevolent energy entered his body, Xue Wu's face turned pale, and the veins in his neck tightened, but he recovered within a few breaths.

"Xue Wu, what are you doing?!" Lei Mengying shouted, grabbing Xue Wu's wrist to stop him.

Xue Wu turned back with a ferocious expression. His pupils were now shrouded in black, giving him a terrifying look. He then broke free of his restraints and walked forward, continuously inhaling the malevolent energy emanating from him.

Lei Mengying was truly startled. The fear that struck her heart made her feel uneasy, but she could not let Xue Wu go unchecked. If he continued to absorb malevolent energy, his mind would gradually become disordered, and if he did not cultivate properly in the future, he might become a demon and be killed by the immortal sect.

At this moment, Xu Tao and the others arrived one after another. They immediately saw Lei Mengying standing there. Xu Tao frowned and quickly asked, "My junior brother?"

Lei Mengying swallowed hard, somewhat panicked, and said, "He's absorbing malevolent energy..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled. They all knew the dangers of inhaling malevolent energy. Xu Tao pondered for a moment and then ran forward. He had to bring back the weapon that Xue Wu had touched in the cave.

...

Inside the cave, Xue Wu had already arrived at the cave where the Blood Halberd was sealed. He stepped over the broken weapons piled up to the side and went straight to the altar. Looking at the Blood Halberd bound by iron chains in front of him, a chilling smile appeared on his lips.

Immediately, the black energy within his body continued to expand and merged with the malevolent energy brought by the Blood Halberd. The iron chains binding the Blood Halberd began to shake violently, causing a small-scale collapse of the entire cavern.

This sudden turn of events left Han Sen and his group, who were hiding in the shadows, at a loss. However, since the other party was only Xue Wu, they decided to wait a while until Xu Tao and the others arrived, and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Han Sen, watching Xue Wu recklessly absorb the energy, exclaimed in amazement, "This kid is actually absorbing malevolent energy?! Interesting, very interesting..."

After a while, Xu Tao and the others arrived at the cave one after another. They were first shocked by the broken weapons in the cave, and then they saw Xue Wu absorbing the malevolent energy on the altar.

"Junior brother, what are you doing?! That's malevolent energy! Get away from that vicious weapon!"

Xu Tao roared and rushed towards the altar. Suddenly, a mocking laugh came from the shadows of the cave. The entrance they had come from was sealed off by vines. Han Sen, Zhao Daniu, and a group of Wan Du Sect disciples leaped onto the altar. Han Sen swept his spear, repelling Xu Tao who was advancing. He turned to look at Zhao Daniu and said, "It's a pity, but they must die here today. That one with dual spiritual roots is yours. The rest of the disciples, follow me and kill them."

"Han Sen!"

Xu Tao roared angrily, his eyes filled with killing intent. It wasn't just that the other party had killed his fellow disciples, but more importantly, the current obstruction. He drew his sword and charged forward, unleashing all the moves of the Water Spirit Sword Technique.

Gu Qingcheng and the others also joined the battle one after another. After pondering for a moment, Lei Mengying's eyes flashed with purple light. She reached out with her right hand and the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade appeared in her hand. She swung the blade a few times and the purple light slashed, cutting the soldiers in front of her into pieces.

Now wielding the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade, she has reached the fourteenth level of Qi Refining, making her undoubtedly the number one person in her realm. Even Xue Wu, who used the black and white Qi at the time, was inferior to her.

Inside the cave, Han Sen, wielding a long spear, fought three opponents single-handedly without being at a disadvantage. His talent was second to none, and the Jianmu tree seemed to come alive in his hands, which he used with great skill. Now, with man and spear as one, he actually gained the upper hand against Xu Tao's full sword technique and the combined attack of Gu Qingcheng and Jin Lingjiao.

On the altar, Zhao Erniu glared fiercely at Xue Wu, who was absorbing malevolent energy. He wished he could tear him to pieces right now. He walked with a stop-and-go gait, then reached for his severed left arm.

"You killed my two brothers, crippled one of my legs, and severed one of my arms. Now that you're in my hands, I'll make you wish you were dead. I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death by my own hand..."

Zhao Erniu clenched his fist, earth elements appeared on his hand, and rocks grew on his arm. He gathered his strength and threw a punch.

boom!

The punch he unleashed was blocked by a barrier formed from malevolent energy. Then, to his astonishment, the malevolent energy coiled around his one arm, binding it tightly and rendering him unable to move.

Meanwhile, Lei Mengying had decimated the Wan Du Sect disciples in the cave. Like a demon, she was reaping their lives. Then she looked at Xue Wu on the altar. Just as she was about to leave, Jin Lingjiao, who had flown over, blocked her way.

She instinctively caught her tightly, and Jin Lingjiao lay in her arms. The two exchanged an awkward glance and climbed down from her grasp.

Inside the cave, Han Sen, having absorbed all the power of the Jianmu tree, could defeat Xu Tao, whom he had fought fiercely with in the past, in just a few moves.

Now, Xu Tao and the other two have exhausted their true energy and are unable to fight anymore. Mo Kun and the others are fighting off the other Wan Du Sect disciples. Only Lei Mengying still has the strength to fight.

The two exchanged a glance, their fighting spirit reignited, and in the blink of an eye, they collided like lightning.

clang!

Lei Mengying was surrounded by wildly dancing purple lightning, unleashing its power. Relying solely on her spiritual weapon and cultivation, she completely overpowered Han Sen, but they were locked in a stalemate for a short time. Han Sen silently recited the incantation: "Thousand Woods Pierce the Heart!"

Instantly, from all directions, thousands of incredibly sharp spikes emerged from the narrow crevices of the cave, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, stabbing towards Lei Mengying.

Lei Mengying exhaled a long breath, stepped back, and gently stroked the blade. The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Blade erupted with dazzling purple light, like the thunder of dawn: "Thunderous Dawn!"

Purple lightning suddenly appeared in the cave, and the entire Fire Domain released a deafening thunderclap. Then, he raised the blade high and slashed forward. The lightning-fast blade flashed past, but fortunately, Han Sen reacted in time and dodged it. However, his face was scratched by the lightning from the blade.

The blade flashed, splitting the rock wall open and creating a gap leading to the outside world. The power was astonishing, and Han Sen was terrified, his hair standing on end. This deadly strike was enough to take his life.

"what!"

A scream of agony came from Zhao Daniu. Everyone looked over and realized they would never forget this scene. Xue Wu held Zhao Daniu's head with one hand and pressed it against the Blood Halberd. His fierce aura devoured Zhao Daniu into a bloody mess, offering him as a sacrifice to the Blood Halberd.

Nourished, the Blood Halberd gleamed fiercely, breaking free from its chains and firmly grasped by Xue Wu. The malevolent energy surging from it was completely absorbed by Xue Wu in one breath, transforming him into a terrifying figure brimming with murderous intent and malevolence, like a demon crawling out of hell.
