Demons and monsters wreak havoc: gain one new confidante every day.

Although Shen You had only met Wan Du once, he was deeply impressed by this vicious and ruthless giant. He knew that Wan Du would poison people at the slightest provocation, and if things dragged on for too long, he would inevitably fall into Wan Du's hands.

"This battle must be won quickly!"

Having made up his mind, Shen You drew his broadsword and held it in his hand, his heart already filled with surging killing intent.

Although his skills have greatly improved, his strongest moves are still the "Crimson Serpent Slash" which combines "sword intent" and the "Crimson Serpent Double Slash" which further incorporates "scorpion tail swing".

"If you dare stop me, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

Shen You let out a cold shout, still holding his breath, and stepped forward, unleashing a crimson slash at Wan Du.

A crimson light shot out, causing Wan Du to change color slightly, but he still scoffed disdainfully, "A mere trick!"

He drew his weapon from behind, which turned out to be a pair of extremely powerful and heavy maces.

He swung his double maces and smashed them towards Shen You's Crimson Serpent Slash.

The twin maces collided with the blood-red light, producing a deafening roar.

But Wan Du was only a third-grade cultivator, and in the end, he was slightly better and defeated Xue Mang.

Even so, he was secretly alarmed.

Shen You, with his second-grade cultivation, was able to unleash a strike that could rival his third-grade cultivation, which made him wary.

"This child must not be allowed to live!"

Wan Du brandished his double maces, ready to seize the opportunity to pursue Shen You.

Just then, Shen You slipped and approached using the "Gecko Swimming Step." Suddenly, he flipped over, and his tailbone lit up. Incredibly, another crimson slash came from behind him and struck Wan Du.

Crimson Serpent Double Slash!

The skill of turning defeat into victory is Shen You's trump card!

"Good lad!"

Even with Wan Du's ruthlessness, he couldn't help but praise it. He crossed his two maces and roared as he met the second crimson slash!

boom!

The powerful double maces shattered the crimson ribbon once more.

In the past, Shen You would have exhausted all his methods and had no choice but to surrender upon arriving here.

But at this moment, the energy within his body surged and suddenly gathered in his chest and abdomen. A golden toad phantom lit up in front of his chest, and he suddenly opened his mouth and let out a wild roar at Wan Du.

"Gurgle—"

A tremendous sound, accompanied by a powerful gust of air, roared out, instantly blasting Wan Du away.

Golden Toad Roars!

Although it is a sonic technique, when used at extremely close range, it can be considered a powerful move that can inflict damage on the enemy.

boom!

Wan Du's body crashed into the wall of the hall, and under the repeated attacks, he finally lost a little ground.

"How is that possible?"

Spinning up from the ground, Wan Du's eyes widened in horror. But that horror instantly transformed into unfathomable rage.

This second-rank kid actually beat a third-rank kid so badly, it's intolerable!

"Prepare to die!"

He dropped his double maces, slipped, and his body seemed to adhere to the wall as if it were weightless. He then quickly turned and circled around to Shen You's head, attacking Shen You headfirst and feet-first.

"Thousand Spider Hands!"

At the moment of attack, a giant spider phantom appeared on his body, which was his famous skill "Thousand Spider Skill". Over the years, he had absorbed the poisonous skills of various spiders and had cultivated the "Thousand Spider Skill" to the "Thousand Spider Great Strength". Once used, it was unpredictable and the attack was like a rainbow.

Shen You had never seen such a vicious poison technique before. The arm covered in poison turned black and attacked from all directions above, while emitting a nauseating stench.

He was clearly far stronger than Shen You and used all his strength, yet he still managed to circle around to Shen You's head and attack in this bizarre way, his attack ruthlessly mixed with deadly poison.

This is someone who is stronger than you, and even more insidious.

Wan Du was a renowned figure in the outer city, and once a fight broke out, he wouldn't give his opponent the slightest chance.

Faced with such an attack, Shen You could only roar, and his arms transformed into countless snake shadows as he attacked upwards.

A golden snake lit up his arm, a golden toad lit up his chest, and a golden centipede lit up his back. At the same time, he unleashed three different forces, unleashing a strike that resembled a wildly dancing snake, heading towards the chaotic shadows of a thousand spiders above his head.

Amidst the deafening roar, Shen You felt a sweet taste in her throat, a metallic flavor.

He desperately used the "Gecko Swimming Step" with his feet, sliding backward amidst the gecko's phantom image, and finally barely managed to block the attack.

"Huff...huff..."

Shen You finally couldn't help but gasp for breath, but at the same time, the stench of decay had already entered his body, making him feel weak all over.

Shen You's heart sank, knowing that under the terrifying pressure brought by the myriad poisons, she finally couldn't help but inhale the poisonous gas.

Now, he is poisoned and his strength is far inferior to that of Wan Du, and he is almost in a desperate situation.

"Damn it! The gap between me and a third-rank cultivator is so huge!"

Shen You desperately gathered the power of the Five Poisons to block the invasion of the deadly poison, but he still couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of frustration.

He thought that he had perfected all five of his cultivation techniques and reached the peak of the second rank, so the gap between him and the third rank should not be too big.

But Wan Du's formidable performance made him realize his own weakness.

Even against a third-rank official, he was still powerless.

"There's no other way... we have to find a way to break through!"

A resolute glint flashed in Shen You's eyes.

"Only by breaking through to the third rank here can I possibly defeat Wan Du and save Xiao Hui!"

"Otherwise, Xiaohui and I will both die here!"

Shen You originally planned to leisurely wait until he had perfected the "Qing Nang Jing" before obtaining the "Golden Phoenix Jade Dew Pill" from Huang Yaoshi. He even wanted to try cultivating the "Five Poisons Great Strength" and, under the condition that everything was foolproof, break through to the third rank.

But with his life hanging by a thread, he had no choice but to make a desperate attempt to find a glimmer of hope.

"Ordinary people definitely can't break through like that..." Shen You gritted her teeth. "But who am I? I'm Shen You! Only I can do something like this!"

Shen Youfei immediately retreated, found a corner, bent down, and assumed the "Scorpion Transformation" pose.

He lay prone on the ground, one leg raised behind him, emitting a phantom image of a scorpion; his arms emitted phantom images of golden snakes; his legs emitted phantom images of geckos; his chest emitted a phantom image of a golden toad; and his back emitted a phantom image of a golden centipede.

Five forces rose simultaneously from his body, unleashing an unparalleled and powerful aura.

Wan Du, thinking Shen You was about to unleash a deadly move, hung upside down from the ceiling and coldly snorted, "Bring it on! I'll make you understand that Blackwater Hall isn't a place where you can act recklessly!"

Shen You looked up and glared at Wan Du, but didn't say a word. He just groaned and instantly channeled the power of the five poisons towards his head!

Open the orifices!

Shen You felt an incomparably strong force suddenly surge into the countless delicate and fragile meridians in his head. The terrifying pressure caused countless bluish-black blood vessels to bulge on his face, and his head even swelled slightly as if it were about to explode and kill him at any moment.

This scene stunned Wan Du.

"The acupoints...?"

Wan Du's eyes widened in disbelief. "Has this kid gone mad? Right in front of me, in this chaotic environment, without any preparation, he's starting to break through his cultivation points?"

"ha……"

He couldn't help but chuckle.

"Did I scare you so much you lost your mind? Are you pinning your last hope on the 'rushing acupoint'?"

"But you must understand, if breaking through the Qi channels were that easy, everyone could do it effortlessly, and there wouldn't be so few martial artists of the third rank or higher in this world!"

"I thought he was a capable young man, but it turns out he's just a boring jerk...!"

Wan Du shook his head, his eyes showing disappointment:

"So you want to die by bursting your senses even on your deathbed? Ha! I'll make sure you don't get your way!"

With a wave of his hand, although he no longer cared about Shen You, his instinctive malice still caused him to unleash a spiderweb-like black light that rushed towards Shen You.

He had no time to wait for the result of Shen You's breakthrough; he wanted to kill this ignorant brat without hesitation.

In the face of a third-rank martial artist, a second-rank martial artist, no matter how talented, is nothing more than an ant.

The black light rushed towards Shen You.

Shen You's "opening of the acupoints" has only just reached a critical moment.
