Swordholder

Luanda had been arrogant at Chunmenglou before, and now that the opportunity was right in front of him, Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't let him go easily.

"What?"

Luanda watched helplessly as his companions, who were trying to escape, collapsed one after another; it was truly bizarre.

He was filled with fear, his eyes scanning his surroundings nervously, the terror in his eyes growing stronger.

"How many helpers do you have?"

His voice trembled, and his face contorted with fear.

"A helper capable of taking your life."

Chen Yuan slammed his heavy halberd into the ground, stretched his neck, and glanced at his opponent, his tone icy, "Don't even think about escaping. I swear I won't rest until I've slaughtered you all today!"

"You are exhausted!"

Luanda's gaze was fixed on the halberd.

He deduced that Chen Yuan must have laid down his weapon because he was exhausted.

This halberd was extremely heavy, and wielding it for a long time would cause him great exhaustion. With this thought in mind, his hope for survival was rekindled.

"Heh, killing you is more than enough."

Chen Yuan sneered.

Luanda stared intently at Chen Yuan, his hands trembling as he reached into his robes.

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately saw through the other party's intention to use their trump card.

He would never sit idly by and watch his opponent use a comeback tactic. His figure instantly transformed into a blur, and he suddenly closed in.

At the same time, he shouted sternly, "Don't touch my baby!"

On the other side, Nuomi quietly appeared behind Luanda, her limbs clinging to him like an octopus.

"Damn it!"

Luanda was both angry and anxious.

He was carrying an extremely precious talisman!

Once activated, this talisman can trigger the divine thought projection of a powerful figure in the Divine Court, causing this projection to condense into a Dharma form outside the figure!

This would be enough to boost his combat power to the peak of the Yellow Court Realm.

This talisman was something he obtained at a great cost.

I hesitated to use it before, partly because I was reluctant to part with it, and partly because the talisman had a very strong backlash.

After using it, one will experience mental exhaustion and weakness, and in severe cases, even bleeding from all seven orifices and serious injury.

If one fails to seize the opportunity to kill the opponent, one will ultimately face certain death as well.

He was confident in his strength and believed he could break through and escape even without using the Divine Summoning Talisman.

But someone had already secretly laid a blockade, giving him no chance to escape.

With no other options, he decided to risk everything and activate the talisman in a desperate gamble!

Unfortunately, Chen Yuan didn't give him any chance at all, and even shouted that it was his, which made him extremely frustrated and angry.

"You've gone too far! This is mine!"

Rwanda roared.

"Hmph, if I kill you, this treasure on your body will naturally be mine!"

Chen Yuan snorted coldly and instantly rushed forward, raising his hand to draw Chen Zhaoning's long sword!

Clang!

A powerful aura of malevolence surged into the blade, causing a sudden burst of crimson light!

laugh!

He slashed horizontally, severing Luanda's neck in one stroke!

Glug glug!

Luanda's head rolled to the ground, spun around several times, and then lay face up.

Those bloodshot eyes were wide open, filled with terror and resentment!

Nuomi loosened up and returned to its original shape. She squatted down and groped around on Luanda for a moment, then took out a piece of white jade that was about three fingers wide and ten centimeters long.

The jade surface is engraved with intricate blood-red patterns.

She tilted her head and examined it for a while, then shook her head repeatedly: "I don't understand, I don't understand. I thought it was money. Humph, if it's not money, then I don't want it."

After saying that, she casually tossed the white jade to Chen Yuan, then leaped up and ran to rummage through the other corpses, even finding many storage bags.

What intrigued Chen Yuan was that Nuomi seemed to possess a storage treasure that could hold many storage bags or treasures.

After his initial surprise, Chen Yuan told Nuomi to be careful and then looked away.

He landed on the white jade that Nuomi had thrown to him earlier and saw the words on it: "Vajra God's Image".

He frowned slightly, not having time to investigate further at the moment, and simply put the jade talisman away.

He glanced around at the corpses scattered on the ground, flicked the blade lightly, and chuckled softly, "Ah Ning, your knife is indeed a fine one."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the corpses and bloodstains scattered on the ground, and then he said, "Killing all these enemies can be considered as avenging the Chen family members who perished in the Evil Blood Demon Cave. You deserve a share of the credit for this."

After saying that, Chen Yuan sheathed his long sword and bent down to pick up the halberd from the ground.

He had indeed exhausted himself when he put down his halberd.

Even when he was exhausted, killing Luanda would still be a piece of cake.

After all, they have the amazing help of glutinous rice.

At the same time, he dissipated the abnormality outside his body, shed his blood-red hair and scales, and returned to the appearance of an ordinary human.

"call!"

He let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him.

The fight from the foot of the mountain all the way to the castle on the mountain had truly exhausted most of his energy.

Just as he was about to sit cross-legged to replenish his depleted spiritual and mental energy, Chen Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted sharply!

He noticed that the blood on the ground was quickly seeping into the earth, as if something was absorbing the blood rain!

You have to understand, so many people died before, the blood on the ground was enough to turn into streams.

hum!

Just then, streaks of blood-red light appeared on the surface of the open space, crisscrossing and outlining a huge blood-red circular array.

The blood-red light trembled incessantly, causing the entire Cloud-Broken Mountain to shake violently.

Boom!

Rumble!

Chen Yuan immediately stood up, his expression changing drastically, and at the same time called to Nuomi, who was groping for the corpse in the distance.

"Oh no! Nuomi, run!"

Chen Yuan gave a low shout and turned to leave.

He had previously heard Chen Qingcang talk about the relics of gods and demons when he was at the Chen family's house.

This region stretches across the western side of the Great Xiang Empire and is a notoriously dangerous and perilous place.

The area is vast and boundless, encompassing dense forests and mountains, as well as rivers, lakes, deserts, and grasslands.

Legend has it that in the ancient times, gods and demons fought a great battle in the upper realm. Countless gods and demons perished, and their remains fell to earth, transforming into the ruins of gods and demons we see today.

The edge of the ruins is rich in spiritual energy and was once a place where various forces and independent cultivators vied for control.

However, after the world changed and the Black Sun and Red Moon appeared, most of the cultivators in this place were corrupted by demonic energy and evil energy, and after their deaths, they turned into fierce demons and evil spirits.

Some people managed to escape in time and moved elsewhere to make a living.

Chen Yuan's mind raced, and he became extremely vigilant.

In the past, powerful figures carved out caves on every mountain peak within the ruins of gods and demons, cultivating their skills there.

After the great changes in the world, all the powerful beings who could not leave were corrupted by demonic energy and turned into evil and ferocious creatures.

The previous Evil Burial Mountain and the Evil Blood Demon Cave under the Mountain God Temple were all like this.

Although he did not know what kind of strange existence was lurking in Yunduan Mountain and this ancient castle, he knew it must be extremely dangerous!

Everything had been peaceful until now, but the sudden change must be because the number of dead and injured was too high, which has completely alarmed the creatures underground!

Lost in thought, Chen Yuan continued running, fleeing with all his might.

boom!

Suddenly, one side of the wall began to writhe strangely, and a fleshy tentacle as thick as a thigh burst out of the wall, lashing fiercely at Chen Yuan!

Immediately afterwards, dozens of similar tentacles emerged from all around the walls, carrying a dense aura of malevolence, and swept in from all directions!

Chen Yuan's expression darkened, and he took Chen Zhaoning's longsword out of his storage space again, gripped it tightly with both hands, and unleashed the Heavenly Light Demon Slaying Technique!

hum!

The three beams of light from the sun, moon, and stars condensed into sword energy, which danced and crisscrossed in front of him, shattering all the attacking tentacles.

The severed tentacle fell to the ground, and as if possessing sentience, it twisted and twitched, emitting a piercing scream.

At the same time, wisps of black smoke rose up, but they were instantly dissolved by the Heavenly Light Sword Qi.

Just as one problem subsided, another arose. Tentacles continued to emerge from the ground, hissing and swirling towards him with a ferocious aura.

At the same time, golden sunlight, silver moonlight, and purple starlight power surged around Chen Yuan!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The three-colored light flowed, possessing the power of purification and dissolution. Any tentacles that came near would melt upon contact, turning into a pool of black, viscous liquid.

But as tentacles continued to emerge, the ground of the entire square began to loosen, cracks spread, and cracking sounds were heard incessantly.

Boom!!

In just a few breaths, the ground collapsed with a roar, and the martial arts training ground disappeared completely, turning into a bottomless giant pit.

Chen Yuan's feet slipped, and he plummeted straight down.

He cursed inwardly, for his previous battles with the Xiang Beast Clan were not as dangerous as this one.

If one were to fall straight into the abyss and land in front of those unidentifiable and bizarre monsters, it would be extremely dangerous!

I'm afraid we're really going to fail here today!

At that moment, he truly understood for the first time how important it was to have the ability to fly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

At the critical moment, countless transparent threads wrapped around his body, steadily stopping his fall.

The silk threads intertwined continuously, weaving a huge spider web in the center of the deep pit.

Not far away, Nuomi's hands and feet twisted, crawling quickly on a spider web like a spider, her hair standing on end like a hedgehog.

"Sticky rice!"

Chen Yuan called out, but he couldn't help feeling worried, fearing that she might lose her mind after transforming into this state.

Fortunately, he quickly calmed down.

Chen Qingcang had given Nuomi special guidance before, and since then, she has never lost control again.

"Brother Yuan, this is so much fun!"

Nuomi frolicked and ran around on the spider web, her hair strands transforming into sharp spears that shot out and pierced and severed the tentacles reaching out from all around.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to urge her to leave as soon as possible.

Roar!

A deep, terrifying roar came from the bottom of the abyss, making people tremble with fear!

Boom!

A rotting giant hand emerged from the dark abyss, swirling with terrifying power, and viciously grabbed upwards!
