The inner city was in far worse shape than the outer city at this moment.

The inner city was teeming with people, its population several times greater than that of the refugees in the outer city.

However, at this moment, countless corpses lay scattered throughout the streets and alleys of the inner city, some unrecognizable, others still bearing the marks of pain.

Such tragic scenes are commonplace and shocking.

The air was thick with the stench of death, and the smell of blood was pungent.

The usual hustle and bustle has been replaced by fear and despair, as if we were in a living hell.

The bright red blood seemed to form a sea of ​​white bones, chilling all who saw it to the bone.

In the Wen family.

"Who exactly are you?"

Wen Ming's face was filled with fear as he stared desperately at the figure not far in front of him.

It was a woman dressed in a purple robe, with long purple hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, and a wicked smile on her beautiful face.

What terrified Wen Ming the most was the red bead in the other party's hand.

He witnessed several terrifying blood-red ghostly figures emerge from the red bead, and in an instant, screams filled the mansion as everyone was devoured by the blood-red ghostly figures.

The Wen family mansion, which was bustling with activity just a moment ago, became a scene of carnage and hell the next second.

This horrific scene struck Wen Ming deeply; even his wife had died at the hands of the blood-red ghost.

Beneath that stunningly beautiful face lies an incredibly ruthless scheme.

"Does it matter who I am?"

The woman gave a wicked smile.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that you can become nourishment for my Blood Nether Pearl. This is your honor, and you should be happy."

The woman's lips curled into a cruel smile.

She stared intently at the Blood Nether Pearl in her hand, her eyes revealing a morbid obsession.

Including Jiangyun County, this is the seventh city she has slaughtered, and the number of people who have died at her hands is as high as tens of thousands.

But these people are far from enough for her; she wants to fill the Blood Nether Pearl with endless flesh and soul.

This bead comes from the Blood Sea Prison in the Netherworld Demon Realm, and it seals the terrifying power of the entire Blood Sea Prison.

Only flesh and blood, and soul, can unseal it.

Once she obtains all the power within, she can directly reach the legendary Emperor realm and become the master of the Blood Sea Prison in the Netherworld Demon Realm.

"You monster, you'll get your comeuppance for this."

Wen Ming trembled all over, his voice shaking as he spoke.

"Retribution? You lowly mortals are nothing but worthless lives. Once you die, you're gone. Who can judge me or punish me?"

The purple-haired woman looked down at him with a crazed expression.

"My daughter will definitely avenge the Wen family, and you, you devil, will be punished."

Upon hearing this, the purple-haired woman was clearly taken aback.

Seeing this, Wen Ming thought he had successfully stopped the woman, but the next second the woman asked, "What's your daughter's name?"

"My daughter's name is Wen Muxuan, you definitely can't escape."

Wen Ming's voice was filled with hatred. He knew he wouldn't survive, but as long as Wen Muxuan was still alive, he would definitely be able to avenge her.

Upon hearing Wen Muxuan's name again, the woman's expression was not as Wen Ming had imagined; instead, she looked at him with amusement.

"hehe..."

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"What are you laughing at?"

Wen Ming suddenly had a bad feeling.

The purple-haired woman stared at Wen Ming and suddenly said, "Because of your daughter, Wen Muxuan, who is also my junior sister, I forgot to tell you that my name is Ye Xie."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ming's face, which had held a glimmer of hope, completely darkened.

Wen Ming never expected that the purple-haired, bewitching woman in front of him was also a disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect, and even Wen Muxuan's senior sister.

"Since you're Wen Muxuan's father, I'll make your death less painful. And let me remind you, your daughter is also one of my targets."

Without pausing for further words, Ye Xie unleashed a red ghostly figure from within the Blood Nether Bead, hurtling straight towards Wen Ming.

Upon witnessing this scene, Wen Ming knew his life was hanging by a thread and there was no way to escape it. He closed his eyes in despair, now only worried about whether his daughter could survive this ordeal.

Clang!

At this critical moment, a sharp whistle erupted, and a flash of light shattered the blood-red ghostly figure.

Shen Shuchou held up the Listening to Spring Rain and stood in front of Wen Ming.

Ye Xiejiao's face froze slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Shen Shuchou, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

Even Wen Ming was taken aback, staring at Shen Shuchou in astonishment.

He never expected that Shen Shuchou would step forward at this critical juncture.

For a moment, Wen Ming couldn't help but recall Wen Muxuan's instructions.

On the eve of her departure, Wen Muxuan instructed him to recruit the refugee from the outer city to the Wen family.

Wen Ming was quite curious at the time, wondering what could a refugee from the outer city have that Wen Muxuan would entrust to him.

At that time, Wen Muxuan only answered him with two words: friend.

Wen Ming couldn't understand this at all. What right did a refugee have to be her daughter's friend? Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between immortals and mortals.

However, Wen Ming still followed Wen Muxuan's advice and sent someone to bring Shen Shuchou to the mansion. In the past three years, he has never mistreated the brother and sister.

Now, no one expected that Shen Shuchou, an ordinary person, would step forward at this critical moment.

Looking at the courtyard full of corpses, Shen Shuchou realized he was too late.

At this moment, all Shen Shuchou can do is keep Wen Ming alive.

"Patriarch Wen, you should leave first. I'll hold them off here."

Those cold eyes were fixed on Ye Xie. Shen Shuchou knew that the one who slaughtered so many people must be a cultivator.

But he never expected this person to be so powerful. The aura emanating from him made Shen Shuchou feel as if he had fallen into an endless sea of ​​blood, surrounded by a terrifying and deathly atmosphere.

But having made the decision to come, Shen Shuchou had no intention of backing down.

The only way to break this deadlock is to use the magic blade in my hand to listen to the spring rain.

"I can't go anywhere, thank you for still standing up for me at this time."

Tears streamed down Wenming's aged face, and his cloudy eyes were ashen.

Everyone in the Wen family died at Ye Xie's hands, even his wife left him. As the head of the family, how could he possibly live on?

"Where did this little brother come from? He's so handsome."

Ye Xie smiled delicately.

"Back off now, and I might let you go this time."

Shen Shuchou said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xie was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and giggled, saying, "Little brother, you're really quite arrogant. You, a mere mortal, dare to try and stop me? Do you think you can stop me with just that knife in your hand?"

Ye Xie looked at her with disdain; she hadn't met such an interesting mortal in a long time.

In the past, when people saw her, they were all filled with fear, begging for mercy from her like a broken-backed dog.

This was the first time Ye Xie had ever seen a mortal dare to threaten her.

"You might as well give it a try."

Shen Shuchou shouted, gripping the Demon Blade Listening to Spring Rain tightly in his hand, ready to strike.

Ye Xie's eyes gleamed with interest, finding the little fellow increasingly intriguing, but he still sneered, "Little brother, without cultivation, you see me like a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the moon. If you cultivate, you'll see me like a mayfly seeing the blue sky."

"I haven't found this interesting in a long time. How about this, I'll play a game with you. I can spare your life, but the little girl behind you has to die. How about it? Fun?"

Ye Xie looked at Shen Shuchou with a sinister gaze.

Anyway, killing one more or one less won't make a difference. Ye Xie suddenly really wanted to see this little guy looking like he hated him to the bone but couldn't do anything about it.

We'll see then whether he can still remain calm and collected. If Shen Shuchou shows fear, then Ye Xie will kill him without hesitation.

Because that would make the game lose its appeal for Ye Xie.

Shen Shuchou frowned and said coldly, "Stubborn to the end, let's see what you do."

These heretical and wicked people are indeed all psychopaths.

Shen Shuchou knew that the other party could not be scared away by him, so he did not intend to say anything more.

The next moment, Ting Chunyu cut her own palm straight through, and blood flowed down the blade in an instant.

With the system's help, Shen Shuchou is now considered the master of the Demon Blade Listening to Spring Rain, and therefore can use its power.

But the seal on the Demon Blade Listening to Spring Rain will not be broken.

To unleash the power of the Demon Blade Listening to Spring Rain, one must use their own blood as the catalyst.

"elder brother."

Pei Rou was startled by Shen Shuchou's actions. Her little face was full of worry. She was about to come over, but when she saw the comforting look in Shen Shuchou's eyes, she stopped in her tracks.

Ye Xie was completely baffled by Shen Shuchou's actions. She had considered that Shen Shuchou might be afraid or continue to speak arrogantly, but she never expected that he would resort to self-harm.

"Little brother, you..."

Ye Xie was about to scoff, but his words abruptly stopped halfway through.

A terrifying aura suddenly descended upon the arena, and the entire sky was shrouded in the blood-red arena.

What happened next left Ye Xie speechless with shock.

The blood that had seeped into the earth in Jiangyun County suddenly detached from the ground, becoming streaks of blood that shot into the sky and converged on the demonic blade in Shen Shuchou's hand from all directions.

Click!

In the sky, something seemed to suddenly crack open.

Ye Xie looked at Shen Shuchou's back with fear in her eyes, the threat of death enveloping her.

On the sky behind Shen Shuchou, a blood-red vertical eye suddenly opened, and then the eyeball split open to the sides, forming a blood gate.

It exuded a terrifying aura capable of annihilating everything, and in just a moment, Ye Xie felt weak all over.

At this moment, Shen Shuchou's condition became increasingly abnormal, and his long, black hair turned blood red at some point.

Its entire body was covered in blood-red patterns, as if it were draped in a layer of blood armor, making it look extremely eerie and terrifying.

"You can't do it."

Shen Shuchou raised his eyes, which were filled with an eerie red light.
