After transmigrating into the body of the protagonist's childhood friend, he was targeted by a

She Qing was completely enraged.

He no longer held back, his demonic power surging, and the dark green poisonous mist condensed into countless sharp blades, shooting towards Yu Linzhou in a sweeping, overwhelming manner.

He used all his strength in this attack, sealing off all of Yu Linzhou's escape routes. The ground in the valley was cracked inch by inch by the pressure of this attack.

Yu Linzhou leaned against the broken stone wall, panting heavily.

He knew he really couldn't escape this time.

He no longer had enough spiritual power to withstand the attack, and he could barely stand.

He closed his eyes, preparing to face death.

They fantasize about going to hell to atone for their sins after death.

However, the excruciating pain did not occur.

He opened his eyes and saw that She Qing's killing move had stopped in front of him.

The poisoned blades seemed to have hit an invisible barrier, dissipating just inches away from him.

She Qing's eyes widened as she looked down at her hand, which had lost its spiritual power, in disbelief: "What happened?!"

She Qing gathered his power once more, this time pouring all his spiritual energy into one palm and attacking Yu Linzhou again.

But the palm strike, upon reaching Yu Linzhou, vanished silently once again.

He tried several times, and the result was the same every time.

She Qing broke down, looking at Yu Linzhou as if he were a monster: "What did you do to me? Why can't I hurt you!"

Yu Linzhou was momentarily confused, then a thought struck him, and he burst into laughter: "She Qing, you idiot! Did you merge my inner core into your own body?"

Seeing She Qing's face suddenly change color, he was in high spirits. "You used my inner core to attack me? Don't forget, I am its master. You actually wanted to use its power to kill its master? Hahaha, that's hilarious!"

She Qing's face turned ashen.

After he stole Yu Linzhou's inner core, he forcibly integrated it into his own body in order to obtain Yu Linzhou's power.

The inner core of the Bashe bloodline was incredibly powerful, and he couldn't refine it in a short time, so he used his own dantian as a furnace, hoping to slowly absorb that power over time.

But he never expected that this inner core would turn on him at the crucial moment.

It actually recognized its master; even after a hundred years, it still recognized its true master.

Yu Linzhou gave him no time to react. He stretched out his hand, activated his bloodline power, and aimed it at She Qing's dantian from afar.

She Qing tried to back away in terror, but found that the inner core inside his body was agitated wildly, as if it wanted to break free from his dantian.

He desperately tried to suppress it with his demonic power, but the inner core originally belonged to Yu Linzhou, and now that it was being summoned by its master, it wouldn't obey his commands at all.

She Qing arched his body in agony, blood spilling from his mouth. He pressed his hands tightly against his abdomen, but he couldn't stop the force from tearing his dantian apart from within.

"No!!! This is mine! This is my inner core! Give it back to me!" She Qing screamed hoarsely, her voice filled with fear and resentment.

Yu Linzhou stared at him coldly, then suddenly clenched his fist.

The inner core, shimmering with dark golden light, burst forth from his body, arcing through the air before landing steadily in his palm.

The inner core was slightly warm, like a living heart, gently beating in his hand.

She Qing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, severely damaging his vital energy.

But even without Yu Linzhou's inner core, he still had his own, which, although far less powerful than the Bashe inner core, was enough to save his life.

He clutched his blood-soaked abdomen, a mad hatred flashing in his eyes, and roared as he lunged at Yu Linzhou once more.

Without the power that didn't belong to him, She Qing was much weaker, but his cultivation was already far superior to Yu Linzhou's. In addition, he was now fighting like a cornered beast, and every move he made was a desperate, reckless style of fighting.

Yu Linzhou had just retrieved his inner core, and his spiritual power had not yet fully integrated. Faced with She Qing's frenzied counterattack, he was gradually becoming unable to cope.

He barely dodged a sharp claw aimed straight for his throat, his body momentarily swaying.

She Qing had been waiting for this moment. She transformed into a snake's tail and lashed out at Yu Linzhou's chest with the force of tearing through the air.

This attack was delivered with no restraint; if someone were hit, they would be crippled or killed.

Just then, a clear, sharp sword light slashed out from the side, precisely severing the snake's tail.

A section of the snake's tail was severed, and She Qing staggered back in pain, blood splattering everywhere.

Yan Lingcang sheathed his sword, his face expressionless, and shielded Yu Linzhou behind him.

Yu Linzhou looked at Yan Lingcang in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Yan Lingcang: "Master said you were in danger and sent me to take you back."

Yu Linzhou was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyelashes, lost in thought.

She Qing's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, she was almost furious.

He risked great harm to force Yu Linzhou into a corner, and was about to kill this scourge when a pretty boy suddenly appeared and destroyed half of his tail with a single sword while he wasn't paying attention.

He stared intently at Yan Lingcang, his voice trembling slightly with anger: "Who are you?!"

Yan Lingcang raised his eyes and introduced himself earnestly: "I am Yan Lingcang of the Tianheng Sect."

She Qing's eyes were sinister as she gritted her teeth and said, "I have no grudge against the people of your Tianheng Sect. This is a personal grudge between me and She Fengheng. If you leave now, I can let you go."

Yan Lingcang shook his head: "I am under orders from my master and must bring him back. I cannot disobey my master's orders."

She Qing was furious and stopped talking nonsense, directly attacking Yan Lingcang.

Although Yan Lingcang's cultivation was not as high as his, he had the advantage of sharp swordsmanship and precise footwork, so he could barely hold his own against She Qing.

Taking advantage of the break, Yu Linzhou popped a handful of pills into his mouth. Once his spiritual energy had recovered somewhat, he rejoined the battle.

She Qing was more than capable of dealing with one person, but when the two attacked together, he gradually found himself unable to hold his own.

He gritted his teeth, feinted a move to force the two back, then turned into a streak of green light and fled swiftly out of the valley.

Yu Linzhou chased after him without hesitation.

Just as Yan Lingcang was about to tell Yu Linzhou not to pursue the fleeing enemy, he saw that Yu Linzhou had disappeared. He sighed helplessly and raised his hand to rub his temples.

He then picked up his sword and followed.

Junior brother is too disobedient; Master has really given him a lot of trouble.

Yu Linzhou and Yan Lingcang chased into the valley one after the other, and soon caught up with She Qing, forcing him into a dead end.

She Qing was already injured, and with the combined efforts of the two, she quickly began to be forced into retreat.

Yu Linzhou's sharp claws locked onto his throat, about to kill him instantly, when a powerful pressure poured down from the depths of the valley without warning.

The oppressive force was like a mountain pressing down, and Yu Linzhou and Yan Lingcang both groaned at the same time, their knees almost buckling to the ground.

A tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the void.

The newcomer appeared to be a young man with a cold and stern expression. His long, silver-white hair reached his waist, and his demonic power was so intense that the air trembled with every step he took.

Upon recognizing the person, She Qing's eyes lit up with wild joy. She scrambled forward, her voice trembling with excitement, "Clan Chief! Clan Chief, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"

"She Fengheng has betrayed the clan, colluded with outsiders, and killed countless of our members. Now he wants to kill me too! We beg the clan leader to take action and avenge our unjustly killed clansmen!"

The clan chief glanced down at him, not blindly trusting his one-sided story.

He turned to look at Yu Linzhou, his gaze calm: "She Fengheng, is what She Qing said true? Why did you join forces with outsiders to attack your own people?"
