A missed powerful punch left Qiu Li in great discomfort. The spiritual energy she had gathered in her fist had nowhere to go, flowing wildly through her meridians and causing her energy shield to collapse.
Her internal blood and energy surged, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her body staggered, nearly causing her to fall.
At that moment.
The poison Gu struck!
The two small Gu hit Qiu Li's vulnerable temples directly.
Two tiny blood spots appeared.
The Gu pierced through her skull and drilled into her brain.
With the poison Gu achieving their goal, Song Wen didn't hold back.
The Cold Moon Blade, having circled around, stabbed into the back of Qiu Li's head.
The fierce blade aura instantly turned her brain matter into a mess.
Qiu Li immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground, dead.
The two poison Gu crawled reluctantly from the broken temple points.
The blood-rich Qiu Li was tempting to them, and they desired to devour her organs and essence.
However, Song Wen also wanted to absorb Qiu Li's essence, so he drove the poison Gu away.
Moments later, after cleaning up Qiu Li's corpse, Song Wen revealed a smile.
In Qiu Li's storage bag, he found two Heavenly Spirit Fruits!
Moreover, the thrill of taking advantage of someone's weakness and killing to seize their treasures was quite satisfying.
The Heavenly Spirit Fruits were easily obtained, avoiding the need to battle with the guardian beasts of the fruits.
Now, only Wu Sui remained!
Song Wen's gaze shifted to the location where Wu Sui's flying boat had disappeared.
Activating the Blood Escape Technique, he lifted his leg and gave chase.
...
Wu Sui, seeing that the copper corpse didn't follow, gradually slowed the flying boat's speed.
With the chain artifact destroyed, he had sustained some damage to his consciousness, which was quite uncomfortable.
Suddenly, he noticed unusual movements on the ground several miles behind him from the corner of his eye.
Someone was following!
Wu Sui's eyes sharpened. Although injured, he was not someone to be easily dealt with.
A talisman appeared in his hand, faintly glowing with a sharp sword aura.
It was a high-grade first-tier talisman, the Spirit Sword Talisman.
Among first-tier talismans, this was one of the most lethal.
Using the Spirit Sword Talisman to kill a sneak attacker should be more than enough.
Wu Sui controlled the flying boat to fly slowly, as if he hadn't noticed the pursuer.
When the pursuer was only a few hundred meters away from the flying boat, Wu Sui suddenly activated his spiritual energy, igniting the Spirit Sword Talisman.
A three-foot-long, one-inch-wide sword of spiritual energy appeared in mid-air.
The sword was shimmering with sword aura, resembling a true, peerless treasure sword.
"Go!"
The sword light shot forth like a dazzling rainbow, cutting through the air in a flash.
Song Wen, looking at the sword light shooting towards him from the air, was somewhat astonished. He had been detected.
But thinking it over, it wasn't surprising to be detected.
Although Song Wen had tried his best to control his breath and the force of his landing, the wind he generated while running definitely disturbed the vegetation.
Wu Sui, positioned high in the air, was not surprised to see the unusual movement of the vegetation below from his elevated vantage point.
Faced with the sharp sword energy of the Spirit Sword Talisman, Song Wen remained calm. A green bronze light suddenly enveloped him, and in an instant, a tangible bronze bell covered his entire body.
"Dong!"
The sword struck the bronze bell with a crisp clang, as if someone was actually striking the bell.
The Spirit Sword was shattered and dispersed into spiritual energy in the air.
The green light on the bell intensified, then faded back to normal after a few flashes.
The first-tier high-grade Spirit Sword Talisman posed no threat to the bronze bell refined from the Ten Thousand Poison Body.
Over the past two years, despite consuming countless toxic substances, Song Wen's Ten Thousand Poison Body remained at the proficient level.
However, the bronze bell refined from Ten Thousand Poison Body had become more solid.
He had a premonition that soon, he would be able to advance Ten Thousand Poison Body to a small achievement stage.
Through years of training, Song Wen also realized that his physical body showed exceptional talent in practicing various body-refining techniques.
This was true for Corpse King Blood Refining Technique and also for Ten Thousand Poison Body.
Though the progress in demonic methods slowed significantly in the later stages of Qi refining, Song Wen's progress did not notably decline. His advancement in Corpse King Blood Refining Technique continued rapidly.
In just three years, he had advanced from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the full completion stage.
Of course, this involved the use of various pills, spirit stones, and materials.
Seeing that his crucial strike was easily neutralized, Wu Sui began to take the pursuer seriously.
Forget it, with the damage to his consciousness, it's better to temporarily avoid the fight!
After a brief thought, Wu Sui accelerated the flying boat, swiftly heading towards the horizon.
From start to finish, Wu Sui did not recognize the person below as his acquaintance, Ji Yin. After all, in his perception, Ji Yin only had the cultivation of the fifth level of Qi Refining, while the person below had displayed the cultivation of the ninth level in just an instant. The difference was too great. Additionally, Song Wen had changed his own aura. It was normal for Wu Sui not to recognize Song Wen.
Song Wen removed the bronze bell and watched the flying boat speeding away with a smile.
"Fleeing? A pipe dream!"
Song Wen did not immediately use escape techniques to pursue. Wu Sui was accompanied by a corpse puppet refined from a foundation-building cultivator. To kill him head-on would require considerable effort.
Moreover, as the grandson of a Golden Core ancestor, Wu Sui was unlikely to be without life-saving treasures.
It was better to wait until the opponent relaxed their guard and then launch a surprise attack.
As for whether the distance would be too far to follow Wu Sui, Song Wen was not worried at all.
While on Wu Sui's flying boat, Song Wen had secretly left a spiritual mark. As long as the distance was not too far, Song Wen could sense the position of the flying boat and thus follow Wu Sui.
With Wu Sui only at the full completion of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and his spiritual power not yet evolved into spiritual sense, it was impossible for him to detect the spiritual mark Song Wen left on the flying boat.
...
That night.
Outside a cave in the Withered Blood Secret Realm.
Song Wen looked at the cave ahead with a peculiar expression.
The cave was quite unusual; the entrance was narrow, but after advancing for several dozen meters, it opened up to a spacious area, about an acre in size.
Inside the cave, at that moment, two unclothed bodies were entwined together.
These two were Wu Sui and Ying Ni.
They had somehow ended up together and were engaged in intimate activities.
Song Wen, with a playful smile, adjusted his aura to his usual appearance and stepped into the cave.
Wu Sui sensed Song Wen's arrival first. His body stiffened momentarily, then continued.
"Someone?"
Ying Ni also sensed a familiar aura approaching.
"Don't worry, it's Ji Yin."
Wu Sui sealed Ying Ni's red lips with a kiss, not giving her a moment to catch her breath.
TL Note: WTF, first they wanted to kill each other, now they are back together again?
