The moment Lin Yuan used Origin Finger on Wu Jian's neck, Wu Jian didn't notice anything unusual. Lin Yuan calmly took a few steps back as the Sovereign Mirror Sword flew back into his hand.Wu Jian burst into loud laughter. "What kind of joke was that?"Lin Yuan didn't answer him.Wu Jian frowned and shouted again. "What type of joke is that?"Lin Yuan gave a faint smile. "You'll know very soon."Wu Jian sneered. "Know what?" He gathered his qi and prepared to launch another attack. But the moment he tried to circulate his aura, it suddenly flickered before disappearing completely.Wu Jian frowned. "Have I exhausted all my qi?" He quickly shook his head. "Impossible..." With his cultivation, there was no way his qi could be depleted so quickly.He tried again. Nothing happened. His qi refused to answer his call.His expression gradually changed. The hammer slipped from his hand as he staggered backward, staring blankly at his trembling hands. "What... what is happening to me?"He imm

As Lin Zenqi charged straight toward Hei Lang, a grin slowly appeared on Hei Lang's face. "This is going to be interesting."Dark aura erupted from his body as he stretched out his fingers toward Lin Zenqi.Dark Bone Cage !!Boom!!Countless black bone spikes burst out from the ground, forming a massive cage that was about to trap Lin Zenqi inside.Lin Yuan's expression changed. Using Origin Step, he vanished instantly. Before the cage could close, he grabbed Lin Zenqi and pulled him out.Hei Lang folded his fingers.Crush!!The countless bone spikes slammed together with terrifying force.But Hei Lang narrowed his eyes. "So, you are quite fast. You would've been crushed inside my cage by now."Lin Yuan glared at Lin Zenqi angrily. "Are you crazy? Do you want to get yourself killed?"Tears filled Lin Zenqi's eyes. "He wants to kill Lan Xin. I can't just stand here and watch."Lin Yuan grabbed his shoulder tightly. "Listen to me. He's a demonic cultivator. If you fight him while your e

Before the battle could continue, dense dark qi gathered around Hei Lang's palm. A sinister smile spread across his face as he slammed his hand heavily onto the ground.Dark Bone Grave!!Lin Yuan frowned, remaining where he stood, unable to understand what Hei Lang was planning. Then the ground beneath his feet began to tremble."What is happening?"His gaze immediately shifted beneath him. Shing!! A razor-sharp dark bone suddenly burst out of the ground, aiming straight for his body. Lin Yuan's eyes widened."Shit!"His reflexes reacted before his mind could. Using Origin Step, he instantly shot into the air just as the spike pierced through the spot where he had been standing. The moment he landed, he burst into another sprint, the dark bone spike changing direction behind him and continuing to chase at a tremendous speed.Origin Sight!!Gray light flashed across Lin Yuan's eyes. Looking beneath the battlefield, he immediately noticed streams of dark qi spreading throughout the grou

[Back in the Cave]Lin Yuan picked up the Sovereign Mirror Sword lying beside him as he sat up, immediately pointing it toward the figure standing before him. "Don't come close to me."The figure slowly raised both hands and smiled. "Is this how people in the Azure Cloud Kingdom treat someone who saves their life?"Hearing those words, Lin Yuan slowly lowered his sword before letting out a heavy cough. "Cough... Cough..."The figure walked over and sat not far from him. He was dressed in a deep-blue robe, his sharp eyes carrying the calmness of an experienced traveler, while his long black hair was neatly tied with a jade hairpin. A few silver strands could be seen near his temples, making him appear even more distinguished.He cleared his throat. "My name is Shen Wanshang. What is your name?"Lin Yuan merely looked at him without answering. "How did I get here?" His expression remained extremely serious.Shen Wanshang smiled. "I suppose you deserve to know after all, you certainly di

Lin Yuan froze as he pressed himself tightly against a nearby rock, his eyes fixed on the fast-approaching shadow entering the cave. The moment the shadow stepped into the cave, what he saw made his heart skip a beat.It was a gigantic ape. Lin Yuan's eyes trembled. "A Heaven Grade Blood-Eyed Demon Ape, even if I were at my peak, I still wouldn't be its match."The Blood-Eyed Demon Ape slowly walked deeper into the cave where Lin Yuan was hiding, grunting as it sniffed around. When its crimson eyes turned toward Lin Yuan, his soul almost left his body."Shit, it has already detected me."The ape immediately began walking toward him. As it drew closer, Lin Yuan slowly closed his eyes. "This is the end."After waiting for several breaths, he cautiously opened one eye. The Blood-Eyed Demon Ape was standing directly before him, its enormous face only inches away as it sniffed around his body. Lin Yuan held his breath completely, not daring to make the slightest movement.A few moments lat
