After muttering that, I didn't turn off the engine immediately, but instead put it in neutral to keep the engine running.

Then I opened the car door and stepped out.

The air outside was bitterly cold and carried an indescribable, bitter herbal smell.

I stood in front of the car, without deliberately adopting any defensive posture.

He simply let his hands hang naturally at his sides, his gaze calmly fixed on the swirling thick fog ahead.

"Shh...shh..."

A faint sound of footsteps came from the depths of the thick fog.

The voice didn't sound hurried; instead, it carried a playful and confident quality, like a cat catching a mouse.

Sure enough, less than half a minute after I stopped the car, the thick fog was slowly parted by an invisible hand.

Then, a figure walked out from inside.

When I saw the person's face clearly, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows slightly.

The person who came was the same Black Li Dan Realm female Gu Master who ambushed me in the bushes during the day, and whom I severely injured with a single strike before she escaped using Blood Escape.

However, she looked exceptionally miserable and ferocious.

She had changed out of her elaborate purple Miao costume into a large black robe that covered most of her body.

The bandage marks are faintly visible on the shoulder that I cut open with the mirage silk during the day.

What's most striking is her face.

My slash with the lancet almost sliced ​​off half of the skin and flesh from her cheek.

Now, the deep, bone-revealing wound has been stitched up with thick, black silk thread.

The threads, like living things, weaved through her flesh, twisting her once beautiful face into a terrifying monster.

At that moment, her narrow eyes were fixed on me.

It was churning with undisguised resentment and murderous intent, as if it wanted to devour me alive.

But that's not the worst of it.

After the female Gu master emerged from the thick fog, the fog surged again on both sides.

Two more people emerged slowly from the white mist, one on the left and one on the right.

After they emerged from the thick fog, they formed a subtle semi-encirclement with the female Gu master.

This completely blocked the way for the off-road vehicle.

The one on the left is a thin, hunched old man.

He was wearing a worn-out short-sleeved shirt and was leaning on a black wooden cane.

At first glance, his face was sallow and his eyes were sunken, making him look like a sickly man on his deathbed.

However, the aura emanating from him was impossible to ignore.

His strength is definitely no weaker than that woman's.

The one on the right is a burly middle-aged man.

He was shirtless, revealing muscles as hard as rock.

His skin was covered with all sorts of strange blue totems, and he was carrying a thick-backed machete that was half a person's height.

His aura was different from that of the old man; it appeared violent and intense.

It's like a ferocious beast ready to devour anyone it can.

Three more Dan Realm cultivators!

I silently assessed the current situation in my mind, my eyes narrowing slightly.

If the only obstacle blocking my way was that injured female Gu master, I might have been able to manage with the remaining 40% of my malevolent energy and my Qi control techniques.

They might even kill him on the spot.

However, with the addition of two equally skilled opponents at their peak, the situation becomes extremely tricky.

Moreover, this area is still part of southern Xinjiang.

I still have no idea whether the Black Li people have any other tricks up their sleeves.

"The Corpse Stitcher... I will never forget the taste of that knife during the day."

The woman spoke first.

Her voice was even colder and more unpleasant than during the day, and with each word she spoke, the black stitches on her face would twitch.

It looks extremely horrifying.

At this moment, she stared at me with resentment, sneering repeatedly:

"I told you, you can't get out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Today, even if the King of Heaven himself came, you would still have to leave your life here!

I will peel your skin off inch by inch and make it into my new human skin drum!

Faced with her death threat, which was delivered through gritted teeth, I did not show any anger or fear.

I simply stood there and slowly replied:

"When they stopped cars on the road in the middle of the night, I thought they were traffic police checking for drunk driving."

This lady's face... the stitching is pretty rough.

The stitches are uneven and the needlework is a mess.

Do you want me to sew it again for you?

I'm a professional mortician; I guarantee I'll sew your clothes beautifully so you can leave this world with dignity.

Although my voice wasn't loud, it was clearly audible in the quiet night.

Upon hearing my words, the woman's body stiffened abruptly, and then she trembled with anger.

For a woman, having her appearance ruined is an irreconcilable enmity.

And these sarcastic remarks were made by me, the one who started them, right to their face.

It was practically like rubbing salt frantically into her bloody wound.

"You little beast, you're asking for it!"

She screamed and pointed her finger sharply forward.

"call--"

As she moved, the swirling fog behind her suddenly seemed to come alive.

Instantly, the white mist split into more than a dozen thick white columns, which frantically attacked me and the off-road vehicle.

The mist carried a strong, fishy stench, clearly indicating the presence of potent poison.

I did not back down, because behind me was an off-road vehicle, inside which lay Li Qing, completely unable to resist.

"rise!"

I let out a low shout, and the murderous energy in my dantian was instantly mobilized.

A protective aura, with a faint jade-like luster, like an inverted glass bowl, firmly shielded me and the SUV behind me.

"Bang bang bang!"

The highly toxic mist columns struck the protective aura, producing a series of muffled explosions.

At the same time, ripples appeared on the surface of the malevolent energy.

Although I managed to block all the poisonous fog, my internal energy surged as a result.

Although the woman's strength was diminished, her desperate attacks were still not to be underestimated.

At this moment, the gaunt old man standing on the left also moved.

He didn't speak, but simply slammed his black cane heavily on the road.

"Thump!"

A muffled thud.

Suddenly, without warning, a crack appeared in the asphalt road in front of me.

Immediately afterwards, countless tiny, jet-black beetles, the size of fingernails, surged out of the crack like a black tide, climbing up my protective aura.

These beetles have exceptionally sharp mouthparts; they were even able to bite at my protective aura!

The burly middle-aged man on the right roared and suddenly exerted force with both legs.

He was like a cannonball, wielding that thick-backed machete that was half his height.

With the force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, it came crashing down on my head.

Attacked from three sides, with one deadly move after another.
