The blood-red vines that were entwining me also hissed when they came into contact with the golden aura that accompanied the baleful aura of the Bane state.

They began to wither and carbonize rapidly.

In the end, it turned into ashes all over the ground.

The situation reversed in an instant.

At this moment, the woman's expression finally changed.

For the first time, a solemn expression appeared in her narrow eyes.

Clearly, she hadn't expected that I, who seemed to be in poor condition, could suddenly unleash such terrifying power.

"What kind of evil magic is this?!"

Her voice was filled with surprise, and she shook the small drum in her hands even more frantically.

But how could I possibly give her another chance to use her witchcraft?

In the state of being shrouded in wrath, my physical strength, speed, and neural reflexes were all enhanced exponentially.

At that moment, I stomped my foot and my body transformed into a golden and jade-like afterimage, instantly traversing a distance of ten meters and appearing in front of her.

"Go to hell!"

The woman looked at me as I rapidly approached, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

She opened her mouth, and a jet of black blood shot out toward my face.

The blood spur had a foul stench and clearly contained a deadly poison.

Faced with this hastily launched attack, I did not dodge, but instead spread my left hand and slapped it directly at the arrow of blood.

"Sizzle—"

The poisonous blood arrow evaporated instantly upon contact with my left hand due to the violent baleful energy.

Immediately, my left hand, without slowing down, grabbed her right wrist, which was holding the small drum.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones shattering was crisp and piercing.

The woman let out a piercing scream, and the small drum slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

But she was, after all, a master of the Dan realm.

Despite the excruciating pain, she did not give up and wait for death.

At that moment, a short dagger coated with a ghostly blue venom appeared in her left hand, and she was viciously stabbing it toward my heart.

My eyes were icy cold. With a flick of my right wrist, the black bone needles that had been hidden in my sleeve shot out.

But this time, the bone needles did not attack alone.

At the end of the bone needle, there is a thin, almost completely transparent thread—a mirage silk.

The bone needle was drawn from its sheath, making a whistling sound as it struck the blade of the dagger the woman was thrusting at it.

The powerful penetrating force shattered the steel dagger into pieces.

The woman quickly dodged to the side, and the bone needle flew past her shoulder, embedding itself deeply into the trunk of an ancient tree.

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she turned around and saw the corners of my mouth slightly upturned.

By the time she realized something was wrong and tried to dodge, it was too late.

I pulled back sharply with my left hand.

The mirage silk attached to the bone needle tightened instantly.

This seemingly fragile, transparent thread is now more terrifying than the sharpest steel wire in the world.

"Pfft!"

The mirage dragon silk sliced ​​through the woman's shoulder flesh as easily as cutting tofu, digging deep into her collarbone.

Blood instantly stained her purple Miao dress.

Even more terrifying, the phantom poison attached to the Mirage Dragon Silk directly invaded her body through the wound.

The woman's body stiffened abruptly, and the scene before her eyes momentarily distorted and doubled.

The hallucinogenic effects caused a fatal slowing of her neurological responses.

In a battle between masters, life and death can be decided in an instant.

I released her wrist, my right hand already gripping the scalpel that had quietly slipped from my sleeve.

The violent power of the Mountain-Shaking Force was poured into the blade, and the willow-leaf blade, with a piercing whistling sound, slashed fiercely towards her neck.

With this strike, I will decapitate her!

In the face of life and death, this woman displayed a chilling ruthlessness.

Instead of parrying my knife, she bit her tongue hard and spat out a mouthful of her life essence blood into the air.

Then, her body bent backward in a posture that defied the natural laws of human joints.

"Whoosh!"

The scalpel sliced ​​along her cheek, close to the tip of her nose, tearing away a large patch of flesh and blood.

After the blade sliced ​​through, the woman let out a piercing scream.

At the same time, using the force of her falling backward, her body suddenly exploded into a thick cloud of bloody mist.

The blood mist contained extremely strong corrosive and resistive properties, which forcefully stopped me from continuing my pursuit.

When I swung my sword and cleaved through the blood mist, the woman's figure had already retreated more than thirty meters away.

At this moment, her hair was disheveled, and black blood was gushing from the horrific knife wound on her face, while half of her body was stained red with blood.

She clutched her shoulder, which had been cut open by the mirage dragon's silk, and looked at me with eyes filled with endless fear and resentment.

"The methods of the corpse stitchers... We, Black Li, will remember this debt!"

You won't make it out of these 100,000 mountains alive!

She roared out in a hoarse voice.

Before she finished speaking, she raised her hand and slammed it hard against her chest.

A muffled "bang" was heard.

The woman suddenly opened her mouth again and spat out a cloud of blood.

Using the blood mist, she transformed into a red whirlwind and vanished into the depths of the dense bushes at an incredible speed.

Not even a trace of its breath remained.

Blood Escape Technique.

I watched the direction she disappeared in, but did not chase after her.

Once I confirmed that she had really escaped, my tense nerves finally relaxed.

With a thought, I immediately dispelled the protective aura.

The violent baleful aura receded like a tide, leaving behind an indescribable sense of emptiness and a violent backlash.

Finally, my legs gave way and I couldn't help but kneel down on one knee on the damp mud.

"Cough cough..."

I clutched my chest and coughed violently, a trickle of black blood spilling from the corner of my mouth.

Although the battle just now was brief, I pushed my internal killing intent to its limit in order to suppress that woman.

While the Fiendish state brings immense power, it also places an astonishing burden on the body.

Moreover, I activated the Pisha skill while almost completely out of mana.

While the gift of the Dragon Soul greatly protects me from qi deviation, it cannot protect me from physical backlash.

The side effect of the malevolent energy spreading and running rampant throughout the body is very unpleasant.

I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, and desperately channeled the last remaining malevolent energy within my dantian.

Under my guidance, this malevolent energy slowly flowed through my meridians throughout my body, gradually absorbing and extinguishing the rampant malevolent energy.

At the same time, the cool sensation between my brows was also working to stabilize my wavering mind.

It took me about ten minutes to barely suppress the backlash and slowly stand up.

By this time, my clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and I looked like I had been pulled out of the water.

My left arm was also trembling slightly and uncontrollably, a sign that I was overexerting myself.

I took a deep breath, mustered my strength, and turned to walk towards where Li Qing was hiding.

Lifting the banana leaves that were covering her, Li Qing was still lying quietly in the crevices of the tree roots.

Although the protective jade-colored aura around him had dimmed considerably, it was still diligently functioning.
