Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

A blue storm tore open the mountain's belly.

Before the pebbles could even fall, they were shredded into dust by the wind blades.

Lu Qingshan descended from the sky, with the Azure Eagle King behind him spreading its wings. The pressure of the peak fourth-tier power instantly overwhelmed the entire blood pool.

Xue Wumian's face darkened completely.

"Lu Qingshan".

Lu Qingshan said coldly:

"In the Nanjiang region, a private blood pool was set up to refine living souls and ambush and kill the most outstanding talents of the sect."

"The Blood-Clad Tower has become increasingly audacious over the years."

Bloodless face's eyes gleamed with bloodlust.

"The fact that you were able to get in means that the soul contract restriction outside has been broken."

Lu Qingshan said, "The tattered things you put up are only good for scaring young people."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Shen Ye.

The young man, Shen Ye, had just killed a fourth-tier Blood Soul Demon Spider and was standing by the blood pool, wiping his knife expressionlessly.

Lu Qingshan suddenly felt that this statement was not entirely accurate.

Bloodface also glanced at the demon spider's corpse, his face twitching.

That was a contracted beast he had raised for many years.

Although it wasn't exactly my destined beast, it still consumed a lot of resources.

It was originally intended as a trump card to suppress Shen Ye.

As a result, his soul core was shattered by a mere kid who had just entered the third tier.

Blood Faceless took a deep breath, and the blood patterns on his body lit up.

"Lu Qingshan, I admit defeat today."

"But you can't protect Shen Ye."

Lu Qingshan smiled.

"He even made those threats to my face."

"Do you think you're very prestigious?"

The Azure Eagle King cried out.

A cyan wind blade descended from the sky.

Blood Faceless clasped his hands together, and the blood in the blood pool shot into the sky, condensing into a blood shield.

boom!

The blood shield shattered.

Bloodless staggered back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Mid-stage fourth tier versus peak fourth tier.

The difference is obvious.

But he didn't panic.

He suddenly struck Zhou Xuan with his palm.

The blood-red palm print went straight for Zhou Xuan's brow.

Lu Qingshan's eyes turned cold, and he had no choice but to turn to saving people.

With a flick of its wings, the Azure Eagle King tore the palm print apart.

At the same instant, a blood-red teleportation array appeared beneath Blood Faceless's feet.

"Trying to leave?"

Shen Ye suddenly spoke.

Zhu Jiu had already infiltrated the shadows of the Blood Pool.

Nine Netherworld Shadows erupted from beneath the teleportation array, tightly binding Blood Faceless's ankles.

Bloodface's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"roll!"

Fourth-order Qi and Blood Vibration.

Zhu Jiu was forcibly thrown back, and several pieces of his scales broke off.

But it gained a moment.

Night Feather's Netherfire descended, precisely striking the core of the teleportation array.

The crimson array patterns twisted violently.

Bloodface raised his hand and grabbed, sending a blood-red blade slashing towards Night Feather.

Shen Ye's eyes turned cold, and he used Shadow Step to rush out and block Ye Yu's path.

The blood-stained blade sliced ​​across his chest.

Blood splattered.

However, the Netherfire successfully ignited the array patterns.

A corner of the teleportation array shattered.

Lu Qingshan had already turned around.

"Azure罡, Lock the Heavenly Wind Prison!"

Azure wind pillars rose from all directions, blocking Bloodless Face's retreat.

Bloodface finally panicked.

His chest suddenly split open, and a blood-red bead appeared.

Lu Qingshan's expression changed.

"Blood Escape Bead!"

The blood droplets burst open.

Blood Faceless's body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

The wind prison tightened, shredding most of the blood mist.

But a wisp of blood-red light still burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

Lu Qingshan's face was grim.

"He got away."

Shen Ye clutched his chest, his voice calm:

"He was badly injured."

Lu Qingshan looked at him.

Even with a fourth-tier blood blade slicing open his chest, this kid is still analyzing the enemy's condition.

"You should take care of yourself first."

Shen Ye looked down at his wound.

Not shallow.

But it didn't damage the heart.

He took out the healing fluid and poured it down without even frowning.

On the stone pillar, Zhou Xuan spoke with difficulty:

"Shen Ye..."

Shen Ye walked over.

The nine Blood Soul Nails were still on Zhou Xuan's body.

A system notification appears.

Blood Soul Nail

[Effect: Seals off the mental sea and erodes the core of the contract.]

[Remedy: Burn away the soul poison with mythical Netherfire, then remove it with spiritual power.]

Shen Ye said, "Don't move."

Zhou Xuan gave a wry smile.

"I can't move even if I want to."

Shen Ye raised his hand.

Night Feather landed on Zhou Xuan's shoulder.

The Netherfire was extremely fine, burning little by little along the Blood Soul Nail.

Zhou Xuan trembled, and veins bulged on his forehead.

The silver wolf lay beside him, whimpering softly.

This process is more painful than torture.

For the Netherfire to burn away the soul poison, it must inevitably touch the spiritual sea.

But Zhou Xuan didn't utter a sound from beginning to end.

Half an hour later.

The first Blood Soul Nail was pulled out.

Then the second one.

The third one.

By the time the ninth arrow landed, Zhou Xuan was almost completely exhausted.

[The Blood Soul Nail has been successfully removed.]

[Hidden rescue mission complete.]

[Reward: 1000 Evolution Points.]

[Reward: 2 Soul Magic Resistance Fragments]

Zhou Xuan looked at Shen Ye, his voice hoarse:

Thanks.

Shen Ye said, "You've helped me before."

Zhou Xuan smiled.

"My little bit of help is nothing compared to saving a life."

Shen Ye did not continue the topic.

He looked into the depths of the blood pool.

There is a small altar there.

On the altar, there was a black and red key.

The system notification light appears.

[Blackrock Altar Key.]

[Can be combined with the core of the Fragmented Realm to unlock the hidden dungeon: Blackrock Altar.]

Shen Ye walked over and picked up the key.

The key was cold to the touch.

The incomplete black stone core also appeared automatically, and the two slowly merged.

The conditions for opening the Blackrock Altar have been met.

[Recommended entry level: Tier 3.]

[Instance Restrictions: Maximum of three players; players of Tier 4 or higher cannot enter.]

[Dungeon Rewards: Ancient Beast Bloodline Crystal, Altar Inheritance, Unknown Beast Taming Embryo.]

Shen Ye's eyes brightened slightly.

Maximum three people.

Those above level four cannot enter.

This is clearly something prepared for him now.

Lu Qingshan also came over.

He saw the key and the core merge, and his expression changed slightly.

"The Blackstone Altar?"

Shen Ye looked at him.

"You know?"

Lu Qingshan said in a deep voice:

"One of the ancient battlefield relics."

"Legend has it that it contains a beast soul altar left over from the War of the Myriad Races."

"The Blood-Clad Tower has its eye on the Black Stone Secret Realm, most likely because of it."

Zhou Xuan said weakly:

"Then we absolutely cannot let the Blood-Clad Tower in."

Shen Ye put away the key.

"So I'll go in first."

Lu Qingshan frowned.

"You've just been through a major battle."

Shen Ye said, "Blood Faceless has escaped."

"He will definitely send the message back to Blood-Clad Tower."

"The longer it drags on, the more variables there will be."

Lu Qingshan remained silent.

Han Pojun also walked in from the entrance inside the mountain, his body covered in blood, indicating that the outside had been mostly cleared.

After listening, he looked at Shen Ye.

"Blackrock Altar can only accommodate a maximum of three people?"

Shen Ye nodded.

Han Pojun said, "Gu Chen and Xiao Jue are outside."

"They can both come with you."

Shen Ye did not object.

Gu Chen excels at mirror vision and judgment.

Xiao Jue launched a direct and forceful attack.

With him included, the team is complete.

Lu Qingshan looked at Shen Ye's chest injury and finally sighed.

"You have two hours to heal."

"Open the Blackrock Altar in two hours."

Shen Ye nodded.

Two hours is enough.
