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

the second.

There is one last Dharma practice left.

He was completely terrified at this point.

After watching me kill his two companions with my bare hands in less than two seconds in the most brutal way, his will finally broke down.

He let out a strange cry, turned around, and fled towards the main exit.

But once the prey turns its back on the predator, it is doomed to die.

With a burst of energy, I leaped into the air, instantly covering a distance of over ten meters, and landed directly behind him.

Then, both hands suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulders tightly, one on each side.

Using the momentum of my fall, I ripped my arms out to the sides.

"Sizzle—"

A sound like tearing cloth rang out, and a rain of blood exploded in mid-air.

The three Dan Realm assassins were like three fragile rag dolls in front of me, who had lost her mind, and were instantly wiped out.

The underground space returned to a deathly silence, broken only by the dripping sound of blood falling into the puddles.

I stood between the three corpses, my chest heaving violently, exhaling puffs of white breath that carried a heavy, bloody stench.

Then, I slowly turned around.

His eyes were fixed on the figure beside the ancient well.

The middle-aged man still maintains the posture of holding the fragments of the Nine Provinces Cauldron high with both hands.

At this moment, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, while he continued to pour his inner energy into the fragment of the Nine Provinces Cauldron in his hand.

Clearly, even a master like him cannot handle this kind of situation with ease.

It is clear that they have suffered a certain degree of backlash.

He looked at the empty space in mid-air, then at me, covered in blood and looking like a demon god descended to earth, and his eyes twitched slightly.

He clearly couldn't understand why the dragon soul that was about to be devoured would suddenly break free and enter my body.

I couldn't understand why I had transformed into a completely unfamiliar monster in just a few seconds.

"you……"

He had barely uttered a single word when a low growl escaped my throat.

Then, with a sudden burst of power from his legs, the bluestone slab beneath his feet shattered into countless fragments.

I gave up all skills, all magical artifacts, and even the thought of being human.

At this moment, all I want to do is tear apart everything I see that is alive.

I was like an ancient ferocious beast that had been completely enraged, carrying an extremely violent dark jade-colored aura and a strong smell of blood, transforming into a stream of light that tore through the darkness.

They charged headlong into the once high-ranking guardian of the cauldron.

……

Rooftop of a high-rise building.

The strong wind, mixed with large raindrops, pounded hard on the concrete ground.

The accumulated water swirled down the drain, making a splashing sound.

Strangely, in a certain area at the edge of the rooftop, the rainwater seemed to hit an invisible, transparent dome half a meter above the ground.

They slid down silently along some strange arc, without even splashing a drop of water.

The masked man and the black-robed man known as Lord Yu still stood side by side beneath that invisible barrier.

They didn't lift a finger, and even their breathing was perfectly steady.

However, if any cultivator below the Dan realm were to step onto this platform at this moment, they would be immediately crushed by the terrifying aura between the two, which was pulling and killing each other.

Two immense and unimaginable forces formed a delicate balance within this small space.

The water on the ground formed an absolutely smooth mirror beneath their feet, without even a ripple.

The masked man tilted his head slightly, his gaze piercing through the rain, first landing on the streets surrounding the City God Temple.

There, the array set up by Li Qing was emitting a faint but resilient yellow light, firmly blocking the originally surging Yin energy.

Then, the masked man turned his gaze toward the main hall of the City God Temple.

His eyes seemed to pierce through the thick layers of earth, reaching the underground space that shimmered with red light.

After staring at him for a few moments, his eyes behind the mask flickered slightly.

A moment later, the masked man withdrew his gaze.

He didn't make any unnecessary movements; he simply lowered his hands from behind his back very naturally.

With this simple action, the aura around him that had been tightly intertwined and mutually restraining Yu Zhu instantly receded completely, like the receding tide.

The traction of Qi was unilaterally cut off, and Yu Zhu's body, shrouded in a wide black robe, paused slightly.

He slowly turned his head, his deep, cold eyes beneath the brim of his hat fixed on the masked man, as if assessing the deeper meaning behind his action.

"You lost this round."

The masked man's voice was flat, without any extra emotional fluctuations.

After saying that, he ignored Yu Zhu's reaction, turned around, and slowly walked down the stairs on the rooftop.

His pace was slow, even somewhat leisurely.

But after only a few steps, his figure completely disappeared into the darkness of the corridor, leaving not even a trace of his presence.

On the rooftop, only Yu Zhu remained, standing quietly in place.

He neither stopped them nor gave chase; he simply raised his head slightly, letting the cold rain pelt his black robe.

He gazed intently toward the City God Temple, lost in thought.

……

Underground of the City God Temple.

My left arm, covered in bulging veins, slammed into the middle-aged man's face with a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air.

This high-ranking official who had always given off an air of mystery was indeed caught off guard by my sudden turn of events.

At this moment, he was doing his best to suppress the backlash from the fragments of the Nine Provinces Cauldron. Faced with my lightning-fast and unpredictable attack, he could only hastily raise his left hand.

A yellowish-brown shield of qi condensed in front of him.

boom!

My fist slammed into the qi shield, creating a loud bang.

The protective shield, strong enough to withstand sniper bullets, was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks upon contact.

The immense impact traveled along with the qi, causing the middle-aged man's body to sway violently.

He slid backward several meters on the hard bluestone slab, carving out two deep furrows.

But I didn't give him a chance to catch his breath.

My first attack failed, so I immediately closed in.

There are no techniques, only the purest violence.

My hands formed claws, leaving trails of dark jade in the air as I frantically tore at his defenses.

"Sizzle—"

His clothes were torn in several long gashes by the force of my breath.

One blow even nearly sliced ​​open the flesh of his chest.

However, top experts who have surpassed the Dan realm will never completely collapse due to a temporary change.

Middle-aged people have experienced just as many life-or-death struggles as I have.

After the initial shock and embarrassment, he quickly suppressed the surging blood and qi within him, and his eyes returned to their cold and sharp state.
