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

As he moved, the four towering walls of fire that had been tightly sealing me to the igneous rock suddenly began to churn violently.

The few lava fire tornadoes that were originally just raging at the edge of the fire wall seemed to have received some kind of command.

They twisted and stretched instantly.

Then it transformed into three solid fire dragons, each as thick as a water bucket and baring its fangs and claws.

After circling halfway in mid-air, it suddenly pounced on me from three different directions, attacking me fiercely as I stood in the center of the igneous rock.

The heat wave hit us, and the air was severely distorted by the high temperature, making even the air we breathed into our lungs feel like red-hot knives.

At this moment, trapped in this cage, I have no way to escape.

I took a deep breath, and the evil core within my body began to spin wildly at an unprecedented speed.

The malevolent energy within me, shimmering with a golden and jade-like luster, began to flow unreservedly into the black blade in my hand, following the meridians of my fingers.

"cut!"

I let out a low shout, gripped the hilt of my sword tightly with both hands, and slashed down fiercely at a fire dragon rushing towards me.

"Sizzle—!"

The blade struck the fire dragon's head with precision.

At the same time, the extremely yin and bloodthirsty energy that had accumulated in the mass grave for decades collided violently with the extremely yang earth vein fire.

Large plumes of white steam, mixed with a pungent sulfur smell, exploded instantly.

The menacing fire dragon was cleaved in two by my powerful strike, turning into a shower of sparks and dark red lava that crashed onto the surrounding igneous rocks.

But I didn't even have time to catch my breath, because two other fire dragons had already attacked from both sides.

I moved nimbly, narrowly avoiding the bite of the fire dragon on my left.

For the next few minutes, it felt like I was dancing in a sea of ​​fire.

With my powerful physique and the continuous flow of jade-colored baleful energy, I shattered the fire dragons that pounced on me time and time again.

However, my mood grew heavier and heavier.

Once these fire dragons are shattered, they turn into lava and fall back into the surrounding lava rivers.

In just a few seconds, they will recombine under the influence of the formation and launch another attack on me.

Shi Cuishan is taking advantage of the natural geographical advantage of this underground fire vein, trying to wear me down to death here.

Although my malevolent energy is pure, it is ultimately limited.

In such an extremely high-temperature environment, the consumption rate is astonishingly fast.

If I continue to grit my teeth like this, I can only hold on for another half hour at most before I die from exhaustion.

I understand the principle of "capture the king first to catch the thief".

But what stood before me were four incredibly thick walls of magma.

To break through, we must first break through this formation.

I glanced at the distorted air around me out of the corner of my eye, while the sensory network continued to operate quietly.

I know very well that the few people surrounding the outside are experts who are used to maintain the formation.

However, they were all at least one or two walls away from where I was.

Using bone needles for a sneak attack is unlikely to result in a fatal blow when there are thick rocks blocking the way.

Besides, those people are all quite strong and not easy targets.

Don't end up losing your bone needles and a major battle threat by trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice instead.

Therefore, the only way to break the deadlock is to confront it head-on.

I took a deep breath of the hot, murky air and made a quick decision in my mind.

I'm going to activate my protective aura and force my way out of this damned fiery prison.

As long as we can break through this formation and escape the constant scorching and exhaustion from the high temperature.

At that point, whether we fight or retreat, I'll have more control.

However, before I can break through, there is one more thing I need to do.

My gaze fell on the mutated pangolin corpse at my feet.

The crimson demon core still lay quietly inside its abdomen, which had been shattered by the evil energy.

With a flick of my wrist, the black knife in my hand moved downwards, its tip precisely piercing into that mass of flesh.

At the same time, with a slight flick of my wrist, I sent the fire-attribute demon core, the size of an infant's fist, flying into the air.

I swiftly extended my left hand, and the instant it touched the demon core, a baleful aura appeared on the surface of my palm, enveloping it and isolating it from the intense heat it emitted.

Then, without hesitation, I stuffed the demon core into my pocket.

Regardless of whether I can leave smoothly today, I'll take it first.

This is a rare fire-elemental treasure. Even if I don't need it myself, I can exchange it for a huge amount of resources on the black market or through the Bureau of Folklore.

Such valuable resources must never be left to the enemy.

After doing all this, I slowly closed my eyes.

"Piercing Demon".

I silently uttered those two words in my heart.

At the same time, the evil core within my body was instantly detonated.

A massive surge of malevolent energy, like a flood bursting its banks, rushed wildly into my limbs and bones.

Especially the arms that have been pierced through by the technique of sewing.

The malevolent energy formed a perfect closed loop within it, and with each flow, it caused my muscles and bones to emit a friction sound that no one else could hear.

The power surged wildly within me, and with it came a violent desire to tear everything apart, which began to assault my reason.

However, the mysterious, cool aura lingering between my brows and the golden light flowing in my dantian kept me absolutely calm and clear-headed.

I suddenly opened my eyes, a glint of light flashing deep within them.

I didn't look at the walls of fire to the left, right, and rear. Instead, I gripped the hilt of the black knife tightly with both hands and focused all my attention on what was directly in front of me.

That is the location where Shi Cuishan stands, and it is also the only mine tunnel exit leading to the outside world.

I chose to break through from here, for a very simple reason.

Unless I'm willing to expend a tremendous amount of energy to blast down the rock walls in other directions and create a new path for myself, there's simply no way to go.

Leaving aside the possibility that forcibly blasting down the rock wall deep underground might cause a large-scale landslide and bury oneself alive.

Even if I did that, Shi Cuishan, standing high above, would definitely not turn a blind eye and let me do as I pleased.

In any case, if you want to leave here alive, you definitely can't get past him.

Since that's the case, I'm too lazy to bother with that.

Let's just shoot him straight in the front!

"break!"

I let out a roar, gripped the black blade with both hands, and slashed down with all my might at the wall of lava fire directly in front of me.

The extremely yin and bloodthirsty aura of the mass grave, along with my own malevolent energy, were pushed to their limits at this moment.

A massive, jet-black blade of light, two meters long, roared out from the edge of the black sword.

This blade of light was not only jet black, but its surface also shimmered with a jade-like luster, possessing a profound depth that could devour all light.
