A beautiful woman in a light - blue long dress came into Ding Hao's sight. Her snow - white complexion and delicate luster were so captivating that one couldn't help but hold their breath.
This woman walked from where Du Mingwei had exploded. She raised her hand, and the Soul - Devouring Flag and the chicken - claw - shaped Yin - Yang battle - axes were in her hands. She took a look, a slight smile on her face, and casually put them into her storage bracelet. Then she slowly walked towards Hao Chengzhong.
Seeing her put his Soul - Devouring Flag into the storage bracelet, Hao Chengzhong's already gloomy expression became even darker. "Jiang Ruyun, it's fine if you take the chicken - claw - shaped Yin - Yang battle - axes, but what's the point of taking my Soul - Devouring Flag?"
"Oh, you're almost a dead man. Even if these two items were yours, you couldn't take them to the underworld!" Her voice was still beautiful, but her words were so venomous.
"Jiang Ruyun, you and I have no grudges. I came here as you asked. If you take the two items, that's fine. But why do you want to kill me? What good will it do you? Besides..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ruyun had already taken out a pitch - black - green rope and threw it towards Hao Chengzhong. As soon as the rope was thrown, it multiplied from one to ten, and then from ten to a hundred. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of Hao Chengzhong.
"Do you think I don't know you're trying to delay time to heal your wounds? Although I'm not afraid of you, I hate trouble the most. It's better to send you to the underworld as soon as possible!" Jiang Ruyun seemed unhurried, but she didn't hesitate to strike.
Just as the rope was about to reach Hao Chengzhong, Hao Chengzhong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. All of a sudden, he became full of energy and forced himself to retreat several zhang backwards, narrowly avoiding the entanglement of the rope. Then, without hesitation, he rushed towards Jiang Ruyun. He raised his hand, and a black qi with three blood - covered skulls inside was thrown towards Jiang Ruyun.
"The Nine - Nether Reversed Soul Technique of the Soul - Devouring Sect. Hehe, it seems I've made you angry. However, although using this technique can temporarily suppress your injuries, don't you know that your cultivation level will drop by one rank? You'll completely lose the chance to participate in this Soul - Refining Sect Assembly. Instead of taking this opportunity to escape, you still dare to fight with me. It seems you're really tired of living!" The pitch - black - green rope suddenly changed direction and wrapped around the skulls.
"Jiang Ruyun, I've refined the Soul - Devouring Flag for a hundred years. It won't be of much use in your hands. Why are you so persistent in killing me? As long as you return this flag to me, I promise to forget about today's incident and never take revenge in the future!" Even so, the three blood - covered skulls were still circling around the rope.
"Hao Chengzhong, I used to think you were smart, but now it seems you're just so - so. After I subdue you, I'll use the Yin - Yang Devil Art to suck you dry. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find the way to use the Soul - Devouring Flag on you. By then, my power will greatly increase, and I can also participate in this Soul - Refining Sect Assembly. Isn't that better? It's ridiculous that you're smart all your life but stupid at this moment!"
The pitch - black - green rope changed again. From a hundred to a thousand, half of it was still fighting with the skulls, and the other half was wrapping around Hao Chengzhong. Caught off guard, Hao Chengzhong was wrapped up like a zongzi in an instant.
In the next moment, Jiang Ruyun had already rushed forward and sat on Hao Chengzhong. After a while, Jiang Ruyun was completely naked, her private parts exposed, and she started wriggling vigorously on Hao Chengzhong.
Hao Chengzhong also let out gasps that seemed both painful and pleasurable. Ding Hao was greatly shocked. He never expected that his first act of peeping would expose him to such a scene, and what was even more strange was that a wicked woman was forcing herself on a man.
At this time, Hao Chengzhong's gasps became more and more intense. Although his body was wrapped, he was still struggling vigorously. However, Jiang Ruyun had firmly restrained him on top of him. Hao Chengzhong's struggle became weaker and weaker. Just when Jiang Ruyun thought that Hao Chengzhong had completely lost his ability to resist, a stream of black smoke mixed with blood spurted from his mouth towards Jiang Ruyun. Jiang Ruyun, who seemed to be enjoying with her eyes closed, never expected that he still had such internal strength. She was hit right in the chest.
At this time, Hao Chengzhong wriggled vigorously as if he had a sudden burst of energy. He even managed to pin Jiang Ruyun under him. Just when he was about to escape, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
A severe pain came from his back. A huge black sword tore through the pitch - black - green rope wrapped around his body and directly pierced through his body. The sword didn't slow down and pierced a big hole in Jiang Ruyun's stomach under him before it stopped. This was his last thought before death.
Ding Hao finally made his move at the perfect time. He was originally worried whether the Heaven - Defying Devil Sword could cut through the rope, but now he had more confidence in the sharpness of the Heaven - Defying Devil Sword. Under the Heaven - Defying Devil Sword, Hao Chengzhong's body and the rope were like thin paper, breaking apart as soon as they touched.
Hao Chengzhong was directly pierced and killed by the Heaven - Defying Devil Sword, while Jiang Ruyun had a big hole in her stomach. She was severely injured but not dead. Ding Hao pulled out the Heaven - Defying Devil Sword, kicked Hao Chengzhong's body away, and summoned the eight - winged purple python to devour his body.
"The eight - winged purple python! Little brother, you have such a strange thing. You look very unfamiliar. I don't know which sect in the Soul - Severing Mountain you're from. I'm Jiang Ruyun, a third - generation disciple of the Yin - Yang Harmonious Union Sect. This man just tried to rape me. Thanks to your rescue, little brother. I'm deeply grateful. But I'm injured and can't repay you. Farewell!"
Just from Ding Hao's actions just now, one could tell that this person was not only ruthless. From his act of destroying the body and erasing all traces, one could see that he was meticulous in his actions and was by no means a good person. Looking at his cultivation level in the early stage of Kāiguāng, usually she wouldn't be afraid of him. But now she was severely injured, and her magic weapon, the pitch - black - green rope, was also destroyed by the sword in his hand. With no means of defense, it was better to leave as soon as possible.
Summoning the eight - winged purple python to a position two zhang behind Jiang Ruyun, Ding Hao gave a light laugh. "There's no hurry. I've just joined the sect and don't know many of the rules in the Soul - Severing Mountain. I wonder if sister can answer a few questions for me?"
In just the time of this conversation, Jiang Ruyun had already used a secret method to repair the big hole in her body. Her body was still as smooth as jade.
Looking at the eight - winged purple python behind her, Jiang Ruyun smiled charmingly, as if she hadn't been injured at all. She said to Ding Hao, "I don't know what questions little brother has. If I know, I'll definitely answer them in detail for you!"
"Little brother just heard what sister said about the Soul - Refining Sect Assembly. I'm very curious about it. I wonder if sister can tell me about it."
"Oh, it's this. I do know a little. The Soul - Refining Sect Assembly is held every fifty years. It's initiated by the Purgatory Devil Sect, the largest devil - cultivating sect in the Soul - Severing Mountain. All the devil - cultivating sects on the Soul - Severing Mountain can send their disciples to participate. However, this assembly is only for young disciples of devil cultivators. Therefore, only disciples with a cultivation level between the Fusion stage and below the Nascent Soul stage are eligible to participate. Each sect in the Soul - Severing Mountain has twenty quota for disciples to participate. The Purgatory Devil Sect will select a few items from the sect's tribute items once every hundred years as prizes for the survivors! The venue is chosen by the Purgatory Devil Sect. There are no rules inside. Those who survive within a year are the victors!" Jiang Ruyun said slowly.
"Oh, there's such a thing. It's interesting. Well, to avoid any more trouble, little brother will send sister and Hao Chengzhong to the underworld together!" Ding Hao was friendly just a moment ago, but now he turned hostile in an instant.
Using the Cold Soul Art to drive the Heaven - Defying Devil Sword, he slashed at Jiang Ruyun. Jiang Ruyun's expression changed, and she retreated quickly. At the same time, she said, "Little brother, why are you so ruthless? Sister has been so nice to you. How can you be so cruel? If you let sister go, sister is willing to use the Yin - Yang Devil Art to make you feel ecstatic!"
Jiang Ruyun knew that she was severely injured and had lost her magic weapon. Facing Ding Hao, she had only one way to die. She could only take advantage of men's lust and rely on the secret of the Yin - Yang Devil Art to have some chance of winning.
Ding Hao gave a cold snort. "Your body, which is like a withered flower, doesn't deserve my favor!"
Taking advantage of the speed of the Heaven - Defying Devil Sword, he caught up with her in an instant. The eight - winged purple python also chased after Jiang Ruyun. The eight - winged purple python was fierce and bloodthirsty, and it was also highly venomous. In its eyes, except for Ding Hao, everyone else was food. Jiang Ruyun knew how fierce this creature was and was even more afraid of it than of Ding Hao.
With danger in front and behind, Jiang Ruyun quickly dodged to the left, but she didn't notice a chain - like white light hitting her. Suddenly, she felt that she couldn't move. It was Ding Hao using the Binding Spirit Art. When she could move again, she was already completely wrapped by the eight - winged purple python. It was truly a turn of the tables. Just a moment ago, she was wrapping Hao Chengzhong to absorb his energy during their sexual act, but now she was wrapped by Ding Hao's eight - winged purple python.
If Ding Hao didn't know what to do at such a good opportunity, he wouldn't be Ding Hao. Ding Hao came to Jiang Ruyun, placed both hands on her celestial cap, and vigorously operated the Limitless Devil Art, devouring all of Jiang Ruyun's true essence and essence energy. Jiang Ruyun had just absorbed half of Hao Chengzhong's power, but now it was being devoured by someone else. What an irony! The Yin - Yang Devil Art and the Limitless Devil Art have some similarities in function. However, the Yin - Yang Devil Art must rely on sexual intercourse between men and women, and this technique doesn't pay attention to forging the cultivator's body. Therefore, the true essence absorbed is less than one percent of others, and even if it is absorbed, it is of poor quality, which is extremely harmful to the body and has a great risk of backfiring at any time. It is also extremely unfavorable for the cultivator's later - stage realm improvement, which is worlds apart from the Limitless Devil Art.
However, dual - cultivation between men and women doesn't have this danger. Most of the disciples of the Yin - Yang Harmonious Union Sect adopt the method of dual - cultivation between men and women, but in this way, the improvement of power is much slower and far inferior to the Limitless Devil Art.
Jiang Ruyun had just sucked Hao Chengzhong half - dead, and the true essence of Hao Chengzhong in her body hadn't had time to be absorbed and digested. Instead, it benefited Ding Hao and was devoured by Ding Hao all at once. After only an hour, Ding Hao had devoured Jiang Ruyun until she was like a dried - up corpse.
Ding Hao felt that his power had surged explosively, but this was also the most dangerous time. If he couldn't completely purify and remove the impurities, he would easily go berserk. He threw Jiang Ruyun's corpse to the eight - winged purple python to devour, and put the storage bags and bracelets of the three into his own storage ring.
Then he carefully inspected the surroundings. After confirming that there were no clues left, he immediately flew towards the secret cave of the cold pool on the Heaven - Defying Devil Sword!
