In a world of chaos and demonic warfare, the Axe Gang reigns supreme.

night.

In a vast, open wasteland, Bai Ye had just arrived when he witnessed a scene that shocked him.

Hundreds of people were seen kneeling devoutly before a black robe, chanting prayers as they did so.

The mortal world is like a prison, all beings suffer, the cycle of reincarnation never ends, and worries never cease. The Black Lotus descends to earth, pitying us mortals...

After they finished their kneeling and worshipping, they each took out a dagger, cut their wrists, and let the blood flow into the runes in front of them.

Then, the blood flowing into the runes seemed to come alive, converging towards the black-robed figure in front.

At this moment, the black robe acted like a sponge, frantically absorbing everyone's blood, its color growing increasingly crimson.

Seeing the bizarre scene before him, even Bai Ye, with his composed mind, was stunned and stood frozen in place.

He had to admit that what he was seeing shattered his perceptions and made him rethink the world.

Thump, thump...

As the black robe absorbed more and more blood, people gradually collapsed to the ground due to excessive blood loss.

Until the last person fell, a huge blood-red snake shadow condensed from within the black robe, exuding an overwhelming ferocity.

Just as the crimson serpent was about to take shape and slowly turn into a blood-soaked figure, a limping figure appeared.

Bai Ye had been waiting for two days, and now he finally got to see the lame Jiu.

"They're here!"

When Bai Ye saw Limpy Nine appear, he was overjoyed.

After two days of stakeout, they finally reaped the rewards and there was hope of rescuing Bai Luo.

Under Bai Ye's surprised gaze, Limpy Nine took out five lotus seed-shaped buttons and threw them towards the black-robed man.

Immediately, the five buttons transformed into five streaks of black light, which were then embedded into the black robe.

Roar……

The black lotus button merged into the black robe, and the huge blood-red snake shadow inside the robe roared and struggled madly, ceasing its transformation into human form.

It was as if five black lotus-shaped buttons were sealing it, as if they were sealing it into a black robe.

The black-robed blood dragon struggled for a moment before its strength equalized with the button's, barely maintaining its size of about ten meters.

Then, the crimson serpent shadow, like a real giant python, launched a frenzied attack on Limpy Nine.

Faced with the frenzied attack of the blood-red snake shadow, Limpy Nine dared not confront it head-on and immediately used the "Thirty-Six Styles of Whip Kick" to dodge and evade.

If his leg hadn't been injured, he should have been able to easily dodge the attack from the blood-red snake shadow.

However, with one of his legs crippled, even with his superb agility, he was still struck by the blood-red snake shadow after barely managing to dodge several times.

boom!

With a vicious slam, the crimson snake shadow sent Limpy Nine flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing that Limpy Nine had been injured by the Blood-Red Snake Shadow, Bai Ye immediately felt worried and drew his Xuanhua Double Axes to rush over and help.

Not to mention that Limpy Nine had saved him before, Bai Ye couldn't ignore his "Thirty-Six Ways of Whip Kick" manual at this moment.

To Bai Ye's surprise, when he went to save Limpy Nine, he saw a transparent number '30' above Limpy Nine's head.

This means that by rescuing the lame Jiu, Bai Ye will immediately gain 30 points of national fortune.

Upon discovering that Limpy Nine's national destiny point was 30, Bai Ye immediately gained a new understanding of the concept of national destiny points.

It seems that the national fortune points are not based on the current cultivation level, but rather on the cultivation level at the peak.

No matter what, he had to save Limpy Nine.

Bai Ye was incredibly fast, quickly reaching an open area and throwing a Xuanhua axe at the blood-red snake shadow.

As soon as Bai Ye threw down the Xuanhua Axe, it began to spin rapidly, bringing a gust of wind as it hurtled towards the blood-red snake shadow.

Sensing Bai Ye's approach, the crimson snake shadow immediately turned its head and lunged at Xuan Hua's axe.

boom!

The Xuanhua axe struck the snake's head, immediately producing a loud bang that sent the snake's head flying backward, and the Xuanhua axe was also sent flying by the impact.

Seeing this, Bai Ye leaped up, caught the Xuanhua Axe, and then swung it at the blood-red snake shadow.

"Kid, you're no match for it..."

Seeing Bai Ye attack the Blood-Red Serpent Shadow, Limpy Nine's expression changed, and he quickly tried to warn him.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Bai Ye, like a god of war, drive the blood-red snake shadow into retreat.

"This kid's strength... has actually reached this level."

Seeing Bai Ye's displayed strength, Limpy Nine's eyes widened in shock.

He simply couldn't believe that in just a few days, Bai Ye had gone from an ordinary person to a master comparable to Ming Jin.

Such a cultivation speed is truly terrifying!

While shocked, Limpy Nine didn't forget to remind Bai Ye: "Kid, the Blood Serpent can spit venomous blood and hurt people. You must be very careful when you fight it..."

Before Limpy Nine could finish speaking, the Crimson Serpent Shadow spat out a cloud of blood mist, enveloping Bai Ye.

The blood mist fell on Bai Ye's body, quickly corroding his clothes and beginning to erode his flesh.

However, Bai Ye's Iron Shirt technique has now reached a certain level of mastery, allowing him to easily withstand the corrosive effects of the poisonous blood.

"What amazing physical defense!"

Upon seeing Bai Ye's exposed body, Limping Nine's eyelids twitched again, his inner shock intensifying: "If I'm not mistaken, his 'Iron Shirt' technique should have reached a minor level of mastery. How did he manage to do that?"

While Limpy Nine was still in shock, the Blood-Red Serpent Shadow, seeing that the poison blood was ineffective, shot out a beam of blood light from between its brows, forcefully blasting into Bai Ye's head.

Bai Ye's head was struck by a beam of blood, and his consciousness began to spin, experiencing the same situation as before.

This state lasted only a short time before the Yellow Dragon Vein let out a low murmur, releasing a profound power that dispelled the confusion of the blood light on Bai Ye.

"Breaking through barriers and dispelling evil can indeed resist the attack of the Black Lotus."

Emerging from his state of confusion, Bai Ye felt a surge of joy and once again wielded his Xuanhua double axes, frantically bombarding the blood-red snake shadow.

Seeing Bai Ye unfazed by the attack of the crimson serpent shadow, Limping Nine was overjoyed and immediately reminded Bai Ye, "Kid, attack the blood lotus on the serpent's head; that's its Achilles' heel."

Upon hearing Limpy Nine's reminder, Bai Ye looked up at the crimson snake shadow and discovered a bewitching lotus flower blooming with crimson light above its head.

Immediately, Bai Ye stopped holding back and unleashed the "Savage Bull Strength" to enhance his power, bombarding the blood-red snake shadow with all his might.

Even with its massive body, the Blood Serpent Shadow was blasted off balance by Bai Ye's force exceeding two thousand jin, causing it to stagger and lose its balance.

Seeing the Blood-Red Serpent's performance, Bai Ye immediately seized an opportunity, leaping up and swinging his axe at the Blood Lotus.

boom!

Under Bai Ye's domineering axe strike, the Blood Lotus burst into a cloud of blood mist, dropping blood-red lotus seeds one by one.

At the same time, the massive body of the blood-red serpent shadow was also shrinking rapidly, eventually disappearing completely into the black robe.

After Bai Ye dealt with the Crimson Serpent Shadow, he picked up the fallen Crimson Lotus Seed with a sense of curiosity, feeling the immense power contained within it.

At this moment, Limpy Nine came to his side and pointed to the blood-red lotus seeds in his hand, saying, "These lotus seeds contain a vast amount of vital energy, which is of great use to cultivation. You can use them to improve your cultivation level."

"Also, that Black Lotus Blood Dragon Robe is a good item; you should keep it too."

After finishing his words, Limpy Nine turned and left with his aged body, limping along.

Seeing that Limpy Nine was about to leave, Bai Ye immediately called out to him, "Senior, please wait a moment. I have come to you this time because I have a request."

"What is it?"

Limping Nine turned around curiously.

Bai Ye didn't beat around the bush and directly shared his thoughts with Limpy Nine.

After hearing this, Limpy Nine's face instantly darkened, and he felt a strong anger: "This guy has no bottom line. In order to please those foreigners, he has repeatedly harmed innocent people."

"Since I owe your parents a favor, and this whole thing started because of me, take the manual and use it to save your sister."

Limpy Nine tossed the manual to Bai Luo, left a few words, and prepared to leave again.

Looking at the "Thirty-Six Ways of Whip Kick" manual in his hand, and then at the lonely figure of Limpy Nine, Bai Ye felt a mix of emotions.

However, he quickly made a decision to invite Limpy Nine to join the gang.
