I can only beat noobs.

Chapter 245 Xuanwu Divine Skill
"What are you all standing there for? Come and help!"

The black-clad first-rank expert grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed, and roared, "If we don't join forces to kill this woman, none of us will be leaving here today!"

At this point, he finally stopped referring to himself as "this lord".

His companion, the second-rank man, seemed to awaken from a dream, drew his sword, but dared not approach, only unleashing a sword aura from afar.

Such attacks can only harass the opponent.

Not far away, Yu Haitang saw that this second-rank official had also made a move. Her eyes flickered slightly, but she did not intend to stop him.

Seeing that his sword strike had failed, the second-rank official in black turned around and angrily shouted, "Deng Ziyang, stop standing there like an idiot and go support your second senior brother!"

The moment he turned around, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of him.

His reaction was incredibly fast; sensing the danger, he immediately raised his sword to parry.

There was a ding.

The sword in his hand was cut in two, and a long line of blood appeared from the top of his head to his lower abdomen, as if he had been cleaved in two by the sword.

"what--"

He let out a shrill scream; he had been severely wounded by a single sword strike.

Just then, a sword tip suddenly emerged from his chest.

"you--"

He turned around abruptly, looking at Deng Ziyang, who had attacked him from behind, with a resentful and unwilling expression. He never imagined that he would die at the hands of this insignificant junior brother.

After Deng Ziyang killed the man with a single sword strike, he didn't linger. He dragged the corpse into the cave behind and quickly disappeared.

Naturally, no one cared about the infighting between these two Blood Demon Sect disciples.

At this moment, while Chen Ming was killing his companion, the black-clad rank one roared angrily, and a drop of crimson blood seeped from between his eyebrows, which was the "Blood God Pearl".

The appearance of the "Blood God Pearl" instilled a strong sense of fear in everyone present, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

The blood-red bead emanated a terrifying aura, a power that did not belong to the first rank.

Chen Ming felt a surge of evil and filthy spirit attack him, and his head spun, causing him to feel dizzy for a brief moment.

"caught you!"

The black-clad official laughed wildly, "Die!"

He used the "Blood God Pearl" to crash into Chen Ming.

This is simply a crushing defeat of realm. This person used the "Blood God Pearl" as a medium to amplify his divine sense tenfold, transforming it into an indiscriminate attack that affected the opponent's mind.

Anyone touched by the "Blood God Pearl" will have their life essence devoured and die on the spot.

hum!
Just then, the "Taiyue Sword" in Chen Ming's hand lit up with an earthy yellow light, shaking off the evil and filthy spiritual impact.

He immediately regained his senses, once again activating the ninth level of "Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens," appearing behind the black-clad first-rank official. With a swipe of his longsword, blood splattered on the spot.

"Do not--"

The black-clad lord roared, and even after his head was severed, he did not die immediately. His headless body lunged at him.

Chen Ming delivered another blow, shattering his heart into powder.

You have defeated a level 93 enemy and gained 180 million experience points.

After confirming that the man was truly dead, he warily watched the "Blood God Pearl," only to see it suddenly change its target and pounce on the black-clad first-rank official.

In the blink of an eye, the black-clad official turned into a dried corpse, and a blood-red bead rolled to the ground, gleaming with an eerie light.

Everyone present felt their heads spin. This Blood Demon Sect was even more sinister than the legends suggested; after people died, they would be devoured by the backlash of its techniques.

They were all martial arts prodigies, proud and ambitious, with bright futures ahead of them, destined to reach at least the first rank and potentially even the Divine Realm. Naturally, they wouldn't consider cultivating the Blood Demon Sect's evil arts.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ming decided to put the bead away. He didn't touch it with his hands, but instead used the Taiyue Sword to pick it up and put it into a jade box.

There is a corpse of a Divine Realm expert here. We can't leave the "Blood God Pearl" here, otherwise, who knows if it will devour the corpse and create a terrifying monster.

buzzing...

The "Taiyue Sword" seemed to be protesting, asking why it had to touch that disgusting thing.

Chen Ming could only carefully soothe it, injecting a stream of vital energy into it using the "Weapon Nourishing Technique," before it calmed down and transmitted a joyful thought.

He sheathed the Taiyue Sword, turned to Yu Haitang, and said, "Thank you for covering for me, Miss Yu."

She made no mention of how she had stood by and watched him get into danger.

Given her personality, it would be good enough if she didn't kick him while he was down and instead joined forces with that Blood Demon Sect's top-ranking member to take him out first.

Yu Haitang's eyes darted around, a smile on her face. "Sister, you truly have remarkable skills. With your second-rank cultivation, you managed to kill a first-rank cultivator. Such strength is rare in the world. I'm afraid it won't be long before you become famous throughout the land."

At her feet, Jin Yu lay there, his fate unknown.

Just now, Jin Yu saw that things were not going well and tried to escape, but she caught him.

Chen Ming said, "The first rank of the heretical sects is nothing to worry about. With your strength, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with him."

This wasn't just polite talk. Within the Longevity Sect, the Blood Demon Sect's disciples were the worst in quality. They could only show off their power at the lower levels. Once they reached the third rank, they were often no match for martial artists of the same level.

After all, the strength of the Blood Demon Sect disciples is not acquired through arduous training, and their martial arts skills lack refinement, so they can only suppress others with their cultivation level.

Of course, no matter how weak the Blood Demon Sect disciples are, they are still a whole realm apart. Those who can kill those who are above their level are all exceptionally talented individuals, almost invincible among their peers.

Chen Ming got down to business, "The most urgent thing is to interrogate this person and find a way to leave this place."

"Hahaha--"

Jin Yu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly burst into wild laughter, "Want to leave here? Dream on! You'll all stay here and be buried with me, hahaha..."

These words drew curses from the seriously injured men.

Chen Ming frowned. Judging from this, this guy had gone mad. If he was determined to take everyone present down with him, there was really nothing that could be done about him. After all, the Undying Demon Lord's divided soul had already been destroyed, so he couldn't devour this person's soul or search his memories.

Suddenly, he glanced at Yu Haitang and saw that she looked confident and said, "It seems that Miss Yu knows how to leave this place."

Yu Haitang said, "This is a secret realm. As long as one of us can become the master of this secret realm, leaving here will be a piece of cake."

He asked, "Then how can one become the master of this secret realm?"

"It's very simple."

As Yu Haitang spoke, she suddenly kicked out, striking Jin Yu in the throat and killing him instantly. Then, with a gentle wave of her hand, something flew out of Jin Yu's arms and landed in her palm.

It was a dark red token, which looked like it was made of some kind of jade.

When Chen Ming saw the token, his heart stirred slightly. This jade token looked somewhat similar to the one Xie Jianqiu had...

Yu Haitang smiled and said, "As long as the previous owner dies, and leaves a mark on this token, one can become the master of the secret realm."

A flash of cyan energy appeared in her hand, and the token in her hand glowed with a dark red light.

Then, with a wave of her hand, everyone else present disappeared.

Yu Haitang toyed with the token in her hand and said, "Alright, now that everyone else is gone, we can have a chat."

"What to talk about?"

Chen Ming remained expressionless, but felt inexplicably nervous. Could it be that she had already recognized him?

"Sister, don't be nervous. I just want to discuss something with you. Could you give me a copy of Senior Jin's cultivation technique? I will definitely repay you."

So that's what it was for.

Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister, you're joking. Where would I have such a technique?"

Yu Haitang said, "Since you have obtained the Taiyue Sword, you are naturally the successor of Senior Jin. If I'm not mistaken, Senior Jin will leave his cultivation technique in the spirit of the divine weapon. You will know this at a glance."

Can you do this?

Chen Ming tried to communicate with the spirit of the "Taiyue Sword" and received an affirmative answer. Immediately, the contents of a cultivation technique flowed through his mind.

Seeing that she was standing there motionless with her gaze unfocused, Yu Haitang knew that she was currently receiving the inheritance of the "Mysterious Earth True Skill".

She won't wake up for a while.

Yu Haitang suddenly vanished from her spot and headed deeper into the cave.

……

Not long after, Yu Haitang appeared outside a cave hundreds of meters deep, looked at Deng Ziyang sitting cross-legged inside, and said, "Congratulations on successfully breaking through to the second rank."

A perfectly round "Blood God Pearl" was slowly merging into Deng Ziyang's brow. He opened his eyes and looked at her with a cold gaze. "Aren't you afraid that people will find out that you are colluding with the demons of the Blood Demon Sect?"

"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll just join the Longevity Cult."

Deng Ziyang didn't take her words to heart; he couldn't trust this woman. "What do you want from me?"

"An accident happened this time. Your second senior brother's Blood God Pearl was taken by that Yuan Ziyi who appeared out of nowhere. You can't use it to break through to the first rank. Are you confident that you can refine that old ghost Jin's corpse?"

Deng Ziyang looked at the token in her hand and sneered, "If I say I can't do it, will you let me leave?"

Yu Haitang said calmly, "If you want to leave, I can send you out right now. You are his friend, and I don't want this world to lose another person who still remembers him."

Deng Ziyang remained silent for a while before saying in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. Once I have refined that corpse of the Divine Realm expert, I will definitely help you get rid of Pan Zhiyuan."

Yu Haitang gave him a deep look, then turned and left.

This was their agreement. Back in the Fire Element Space, if it weren't for her protection, Deng Ziyang, with his weak strength, would have been killed by everyone present long ago.

This time, Deng Ziyang informed her in advance about the Blood Demon Sect's conspiracy.

The two decided to turn the tables on the plan.

However, Yuan Ziyi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, disrupting their plans.

Fortunately, it went relatively smoothly overall.

As long as I can get the "Mysterious Earth True Skill", this trip will not have been in vain.

Whether Deng Ziyang can reach the first rank depends on his own fate.

A moment later, Yu Haitang returned to the pool, and Yuan Ziyi remained standing in the same spot, her eyes lifeless.

After waiting for nearly fifteen minutes, she finally regained consciousness, clearly having received the inheritance of the cultivation technique.

Yu Haitang said, "See? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Chen Ming nodded and said, "I can give you the Xuanwu Divine Skill, but I have one condition."

In the mind transmitted by the "Taiyue Sword", this is the name of this martial art.

Yu Haitang said, "Go ahead."

"I want the first three levels of this cultivation technique," Chen Ming said, and before she could speak, he added, "Don't tell me you don't have them. You've gone to such lengths to get this technique, so you must have the missing three levels."

"Otherwise, with your talent and cultivation level, you would never have risked coming here to seek an incomplete cultivation technique under such difficult circumstances. I believe that you, young lady, are certainly not lacking in divine skills and secret techniques, are you?"

Yu Haitang's gaze towards this woman grew increasingly strange. "You seem to know me very well?"

"Would Miss Yu agree to this condition?"

"Of course, no matter how you look at it, I'm the one who benefits from this deal."

"So good."

P.S.: Only two updates today, I can't add any more. Taking a break.
