Mad Doctor No. 9

Finally, as the sun was about to set, they reached the deepest part of Snake Valley.

Below a steep, black cliff lies a huge cave, filled with dense, irregularly shaped vines that resemble a menacing maw.

On either side of the cave are two severely weathered, grotesque stone sculptures that look like both humans and beasts, exuding evil.

Above the cave are three twisted ancient characters, exuding a strong aura of blood and ferocity, which read "Blood Sacrifice Cave"!

A dark red light emanated from the cave, and one could vaguely hear low, eerie chanting and faint screams, sending chills down one's spine.

"We've arrived." Wang Tian's eyes were sharp. He could sense the dense bloodthirsty aura in the cave, as well as a familiar aura. It was something from the Eternal Life Society, an energy that could transform life!

"The cave is filled with evil energy. Everyone, calm yourselves and follow me," Wang Tian warned, then pushed aside the vines and entered the Blood Sacrifice Cave.

The passageway was wide but winding, and the walls were covered with paint of an unknown color, depicting various bloody and cruel rituals, as well as a distorted "Blood God" totem, a monster with many eyes.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and the strange odor of burning spices.

They hadn't gone far when a fork in the road appeared ahead, and at the same time, they heard hurried footsteps and shouts of battle! Clearly, the Black Witch Cult had discovered their presence!

"Invading enemy! Die!"

Dozens of black wizards, dressed in long black robes and with their faces painted with oil, rushed out from the side road, holding poisoned swords and spears, completely blocking the way.

These people's eyes were filled with fanaticism and numbness.

The leader was none other than several powerful black-robed priests, each holding a white bone scepter and chanting incantations.

"Quickly finish this, don't get entangled!" Wang Tian roared, transforming into a silver streak of light as he charged towards the enemy's camp! His Starlight Palm Force was unpredictable and unstoppable; anyone who stood in his way would be either killed or severely injured!

Qin Yuwei, Zhang Qingyun, Su Qingxuan, and the two guards all exerted their utmost strength.

These followers weren't particularly strong, but they had the advantage of numbers and were fearless.

Wang Tian's purpose was clear: he was going after those black-robed priests.

When the priests saw Wang Tian charging towards them, they hurriedly waved their bone staffs, spewing out a stream of dark green poisonous gas and a streak of blood-red curse light! However, these evil spells were greatly weakened by the power of the stars.

Wang Tian struck out with his palm, the poisonous mist dissipated, the curse light vanished, and he arrived in an instant, killing several priests in just a few breaths.

Without the priest's command, the remaining cultists, though fierce, were quickly slaughtered.

The battle lasted a short time, but it was intense.

Wang Tian found several bone fragments on the corpses of the priests, which contained records of the evil magic of the Black Witch Cult, as well as several bottles of strange poison and curse powder, which was considered a small gain.

More importantly, Wang Tian learned from the fragments of a priest's remaining consciousness that the general layout and rituals of the cave were all held on the main altar at the deepest part of the cave, and next to the main altar was the Black Witch Cult's "secret vault," which contained a large number of precious materials and plundered wealth!

"Let's go to the main altar!" Wang Tian exclaimed excitedly, this might be the biggest gain of his trip!

The group followed the passage with the strongest smell of blood and the heaviest evil aura, and after killing several groups of scattered guards, they finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Blood Sacrifice Cave, which was a huge altar transformed from a natural cave.

Dark red stalactites hung from the cave ceiling, and a huge and complex blood-red magic circle was carved on the ground.

On the altar, a strange crystal emitting an eerie red light was placed. Beneath the crystal was a girl who was bound hand and foot and unconscious. Judging from her clothing, she was probably a Western tourist.

Around the altar were seven or eight other sacrificial offerings, also bound hand and foot, barely clinging to life.

Before the altar, three high priests dressed in magnificent black robes and wearing golden masks were dancing around the altar, chanting incantations.

As they chanted, the red light emanating from the blood-red crystal on the altar grew increasingly intense. The life force of the woman below was being gradually extracted and absorbed into the crystal. The crystal continuously supplied the three priests with pure but malevolent blood energy, causing their auras to rise steadily!

Beside him stood more than a dozen elite warriors of the Black Witch Cult.

"Sacrificing living people to draw life force to nourish themselves... what a monster!" Su Qingxuan exclaimed indignantly upon seeing this scene.

"Save them, break the spell!" Wang Tian acted without hesitation! He knew very well that once this ritual was completed, a formidable monster might appear, so he had to stop it!

"Starry Sky Palm!" Wang Tian swung his palm at the Blood Crystal from mid-air! The powerful palm force formed an invisible net that swept downwards, attempting to sever the connection between the crystal and the ritual.

"How dare you! You dare to disturb Lord Blood Sacrifice!" The leading high priest shouted, brandishing his golden bone staff and conjuring a blood-red shield in front of him to block Xing Luo's palm strike.

At the same time, the other two priests and the nearby warriors also came to their senses, roared, and charged towards Wang Tian and his group.

"We are your opponents!" Qin Yuwei, Zhang Qingyun, Su Qingxuan, and the two guards rushed forward immediately to fight the Black Witch Cult warriors.

Su Qingxuan's soft sword transformed into a sky full of cold stars, her swordsmanship was superb, and her two guards were also extremely brave. With Qin Yuwei and Zhang Qingyun working together, they managed to stop most of the enemies.

Wang Tian was facing three high-ranking priests.

These three priests were all at the early stage of the Transformation Realm. With the power of the altar and the power of the blood crystal, their auras were mysterious, and they unleashed a variety of evil spells.

Blood-red arrows, corrosive poisonous mist, mental shrieks... all sorts of evil methods attacked Wang Tian from all directions, each angle potentially fatal.

"A mere trick!" Wang Tianxing activated his Body Tempering Technique to its fullest extent, radiating a dazzling light, like a god.

Star Palm, Star Finger, Star Step—I can wield all sorts of stellar martial arts with ease. My inner force is extremely yang and powerful, making it the most sinister of all techniques! No matter what schemes or tricks you have, I can shatter them all with a single palm strike!

The battle was extremely fierce, with energy surging everywhere, causing the stalagmites and stone pillars in the cave to crumble and shatter.

Wang Tian fought with increasing ferocity, his astrological internal energy having a clear restraining effect on evil energy.

Soon, Wang Tianyi used the "Star River Reversal" palm technique to break through the protective blood light of a priest. Immediately afterwards, a starlight finger pierced through his throat, killing him instantly.
