Transmigrated Villain: Starting by Removing the Female Lead's Supreme Bone

But other spirit snakes continued to surge in, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Suhe.

They swam and leaped, their attacks fierce, forcing the Suhe River to retreat repeatedly.

Qingxin watched in trepidation, fearing that something might happen to Suhe.

But she was preoccupied with her own problems and could only barely fend off the snake's attacks.

Su He snorted coldly, his spiritual power surging within him.

In an instant, sword light flashed on the lake surface, and the spirit snakes were killed one after another, turning into wisps of green smoke.

But the serpents seemed endless, constantly emerging from the bottom of the lake.

Suhe gradually felt the strain, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Why are these beasts so difficult to deal with?"

While slaying the spirit snake, he also kept an eye on Qingxin's condition.

Qingxin was in a terrible state, her clothes were tattered and she was covered in wounds.

She struggled to hold on, but was clearly at her limit.

Su He's heart tightened, and he was about to rush over to help when he saw a spirit snake suddenly leap out from underwater and coil around Qingxin.

"Be careful!"

Su He flashed forward and stood in front of Qing Xin.

With a flick of the Tai Xuan Sword, a burst of sword energy shot out, piercing the vital spot of the spirit snake.

The spirit snake let out a mournful howl and vanished into a wisp of green smoke.

Su He turned around and helped Qingxin up, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"

Qingxin shook her head and forced herself to stand up straight.

"I'm fine, senior, don't worry about me, just focus on dealing with these beasts."

Seeing her so strong, Su He was moved.

He turned to face the lake, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping over the surrounding serpents.

"Alright, I'll show you what the might of a Martial Emperor truly is!"

Su He rode his sword, his figure as fast as lightning, the sword light as bright as a rainbow.

He swept through the land, and wherever he went, the spirit snakes were all killed.

The entire Ghost Lake was shrouded in sword energy, and the lake water churned and surged.

Countless wronged souls wailed and fled in all directions amidst the sword energy.

Qingxin was stunned, and her admiration for Suhe reached its peak.

"So powerful! Is this the strength of a Martial Emperor?"

She sighed inwardly, and at the same time felt ashamed of her own weakness.

"I need to become stronger too, so that my seniors won't have to worry about me anymore."

Suhe fought his way through the serpents and finally wiped them all out.

He sheathed his sword and stood there, exuding an imposing aura, like a war god.

The lake returned to calm, with only wisps of smoke still drifting in the air.

Su He turned to Qingxin and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Qingxin quickly shook her head and gave a grateful smile.

"Thanks to my senior, I am safe and sound."

Su He nodded, his gaze turning to the depths of Ghost Lake.

"Let's go, the underwater palace should be nearby."

Qingxin responded and followed Suhe's footsteps.

They traversed the bottom of the lake, surrounded by complete darkness, with only the Tai Xuan Sword emitting a faint light.

With his keen senses, Suhe searched for the location of the underwater palace at the bottom of the lake.

However, the bottom of Ghost Lake is complex and winding, like a huge labyrinth.

Suhe and Qingxin swam at the bottom of the lake for a long time, but still couldn't find the right direction.

Suhe looked around, trying to find some clues.

But looking around, the lakebed was completely still, with no clues to be found.

"The bottom of this ghost lake is so eerie."

He closed his eyes, focused his mind, and tried to sense the presence of the underwater palace.

A moment later, Su He opened his eyes.

"This way."

As he spoke, he led the way and swam in one direction.

Qingxin quickly followed, staying close behind Suhe.

The two traversed the bottom of the lake, gradually moving away from their original location.

Suddenly, a powerful aura enveloped them, startling both Su He and Qing Xin.

"Be careful!"

Su Heyi shielded Qingxin behind him.

They saw the lake water churning ahead, and countless skeletons rising from the bottom of the lake, surrounding them.

The skeletons exuded a chilling aura, and their eye sockets flickered with an eerie red light.

"Another wronged soul!"

Suhe swung his sword at the skeleton, the sword energy crisscrossing and unstoppable.

Qingxin was not to be outdone, and she activated her spiritual power to fight alongside Suhe.

In an instant, sword light flashed at the bottom of the lake, and the skeletons were chopped into dust.

Suhe and Qingxin worked together seamlessly and gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, all the bones were removed, and the lake returned to calm.

Su He sheathed his sword, turned around, and looked at Qingxin.

"Are you alright?"

Qingxin shook her head.

"I'm fine, thanks to my senior."

Su He nodded upon hearing this.

"Let's hurry, the underwater palace should be just ahead."

Qingxin responded and continued to follow Suhe.

After some time, Suhe suddenly stopped.

Qingxin followed his gaze and immediately gasped.

At the bottom of the dark lake, a huge and ancient palace stood out.

The palace is built entirely of black stone, exuding an air of antiquity.

A layer of misty white fog surrounded them.

The palace gates were tightly shut, covered with intricate restrictions, and shimmered with an eerie light.

"Is this the underwater palace? It's magnificent!"

Qingxin couldn't help but sigh.

Su He nodded, his gaze sweeping across the palace, lost in thought.

"Yes, this is the place we're looking for. However, the palace's protective barriers seem very strong and difficult to break."

He raised his hand to stroke his chin, pondering a solution.

Looking at Su He, Qingxin felt a surge of admiration.

As expected of a master of the Martial Emperor level, he remained calm and composed even in the face of such a complex situation.

She secretly resolved to learn from Su He and grow into a powerful cultivator as soon as possible.

Su He pondered for a moment, then seemed to have an idea.

He turned to Qingxin and said, "Wait for me here. I'll go break the seal. Notify me immediately if anything happens."

Qingxin nodded quickly and watched Suhe walk towards the palace gate.

Suhe arrived in front of the palace and raised her hand to brush against the restrictions on the gate.

He formed a hand seal, and a golden light enveloped his entire body as spiritual energy surged forth.

Under the impact of the golden light, the barrier emitted a series of buzzing sounds and gradually began to crack...

Suddenly, his finger stopped on a complex rune, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

"This is it!"

Su He felt his spiritual energy surging throughout his body, and the Tai Xuan Sword appeared in response, hovering in front of him.

The Tai Xuan Sword shone brightly, its sword energy crisscrossing and pointing directly at the rune.

"break!"

With a shout, Su He sent the Tai Xuan Sword transforming into a golden rainbow, crashing heavily onto the runes like a falling meteor.

With a loud bang, the runes shattered and dissipated into specks of light.

"It's done!"

Upon seeing this, Qingxin cheered with joy.

But the next moment, her smile froze on her face.

The barrier shone brightly, and countless waves of spiritual energy surged forth, sweeping across the surroundings.

Immediately afterwards, a massive force field appeared, enveloping Su He and Qing Xin.

"Oh no, this is the backlash from the restriction!"

Su He's expression changed, and he quickly activated his spiritual power to resist.
