What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

The person had their back to me and appeared somewhat thin.

He held his hands in a strange mudra, resting them flat on his knees, and was muttering some incomprehensible incantation.

As he chanted, the red light gushing from the ancient well would surge violently.

It looked as if something was struggling painfully down in the well.

I stopped about ten meters from the edge of the stone platform, my eyes narrowed slightly, and the speed of the evil core in my body quietly increased.

By the blinding red light, I could see the person's profile.

It was the face of a middle-aged man, bearing the marks of time.

Upon seeing that face clearly, my breath paused almost imperceptibly for half a second.

I know this person.

Even if I've only met him once, I would never mistake him for someone else.

Several months ago, the underground palace of the ancient town.

General Zuo broke through the blockade, and our group fought a desperate battle.

Just when we were about to succeed, this person suddenly appeared and, with an almost overwhelming force, turned all our efforts into nothing.

Lu Yan was seriously injured, and Tie Zhu and Qian Ji were both unconscious from exhaustion. Master Xuanzhen also exhausted his own life force in dealing with General Zuo.

If it weren't for Li Qing's last-minute intervention to save the day, which delayed the arrival of personnel from the provincial bureau for support, things would have been much better.

We will all die at his hands.

Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, I ran into him here again.

Guardian of the tripod!

It turns out they were the ones behind the scenes causing trouble in Jiangcheng.

After understanding this matter, I was not greatly disturbed.

Or rather, I had already vaguely guessed that they were the masterminds behind it all.

Because, apart from Zhoujiacun, the other two feng shui nodes in Jiangcheng were directly destroyed by them.

After understanding everything, my emotions did not fluctuate much, and I remained calm.

Because I know all too well how terrifying this middle-aged man is.

Back in the underground palace, the strength he displayed definitely surpassed that of an ordinary Dan realm cultivator, and he may have even reached a higher level.

I did not speak rashly, nor did I launch an attack immediately.

Instead, he looked around and quickly assessed the situation.

He was sitting cross-legged beside the ancient well at the core of the formation, clearly presiding over some crucial ritual.

"Life is full of unexpected encounters."

I stood in the shadows and muttered something to myself.

At the same time, she calmly watched his back, her left hand slowly clenching.

The black bone needles hovering above his head had already silently aimed at his fatal acupoint on the back of his head.

I took a deep breath of the cold, fishy air in the underground space, and the evil core within my body suddenly trembled.

Just as I was preparing to use the bone needles to launch a full-scale attack and catch him off guard.

But then he suddenly spoke.

"Jiangcheng has really raised a few good dogs that bite."

The middle-aged man remained seated cross-legged beside the ancient well, without even turning his head.

But the slightly hoarse voice clearly pierced through the churning red light, echoing through the empty underground space.

He noticed!

But I didn't panic.

Since their whereabouts have been exposed, the ambush is pointless.

My eyes darkened, and I stomped my right foot, shattering the stone slab beneath my feet.

Using this violent reaction force, I charged straight at him.

Since we can't launch a sneak attack, let's take advantage of his inconvenience and use force!

However, just as I made my move, a sudden change occurred!

Four sharp, suffocating killing intents suddenly erupted from the dark corners surrounding me without warning.

Only at this moment did the cool, quiet energy between my brows, which had remained calm, begin to give off a frantic warning, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

A sharp, stinging pain shot straight into my brain.

Four cultivators at the Dan Realm!

Moreover, the strength of these four auras was far greater than that of the two evil cultivators, one fat and one thin, whom I had just killed in the square above.

What sent chills down my spine was that these four people used some bizarre method to conceal their figures and presence.

Surprisingly, after stepping into this not-so-large underground space, I didn't notice anything amiss at all.

I've only experienced this deadly sense of crisis—a feeling of being completely blinded—once.

That was in the black mist of Jinxiu Garden, when facing the top masked assassin from the Shadow Sect.

To my left, a dark blue blade of light skimmed along the ground, silently slicing towards my ankle.

To my right, a barbed bronze rod hurtled straight toward my temple with a piercing whistling sound.

Directly in front of me, two foul-smelling, emerald-green phosphorescent flames spiraled toward my face.

Directly behind me was an invisible net woven from some kind of transparent silk threads, blocking all my escape routes.

This is a sure-kill situation that has been rehearsed countless times!

My momentum toward becoming middle-aged was abruptly halted.

In that split second, I didn't have time to do any complicated thinking.

He reacted entirely based on his instincts as a Sha Dan Realm cultivator and the combat intuition honed through countless brushes with death.

"open!"

I roared out a single word, and the immense spiritual power within my mind exploded like a tsunami.

The black bone needles hovering above his head instantly changed direction and shot towards the two balls of emerald green phosphorescent fire directly in front of him.

The lightning and fire power contained within the bone needle erupted with a roar the moment it came into contact with the phosphorescent fire.

The dazzling lightning and the dark red, violent blood energy intertwined, shattering the two balls of phosphorescent fire into dust.

The powerful shockwave even forced the black-clad man casting the spell in front of them back several steps.

At the same time, the two spare willow-leaf knives I had tucked at my waist were automatically drawn out by the manipulation of qi, turning into two silver afterimages.

With one up and one down, they blocked the powerful, heavy bronze rod on the right.

"clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

Although the lancet is extremely sharp, it is too light.

Under the full force of the Dan Realm cultivator's attack, the twin blades were shaken and let out a mournful cry before flying back.

But I also used this huge recoil force to forcibly shift my body's center of gravity.

Faced with the dark blue blade of light slicing towards my ankle from the left, I neither dodged nor could I dodge it.

I slammed my left leg down, instantly unleashing the power to shake the mountain and the protective aura to their peak.

"laugh--"

The blade sliced ​​through my trouser leg, and also through my protective aura, leaving a gash about 3 centimeters long at my ankle.

Fortunately, the Mountain-Shaking Force and the Protective Aura were not just for show, so the knife only cut through the skin and flesh, without damaging the tendons and bones.

Using this series of collisions and leverage, I spun half a circle in mid-air like a top.

I narrowly escaped the edge of that invisible net behind me and landed heavily next to a stone pillar about ten meters away from the ancient well.

After landing, I let out a muffled groan.

In order to forcibly change my movements in mid-air, I inevitably aggravated the old injury on my left shoulder from taking the fat man's punch.

A sharp pain shot through my body along my nerves, and at the same time, a sweet, metallic taste rose in my throat.

I took a deep breath, and the cool sensation between my brows quickly circulated, forcibly suppressing the pain.
