Turning into a side hall, Wu Tao saw a rack made of thousand-year-old dark purple catalpa wood.
On the rack were more than a dozen spirit-sealing jade boxes carved with runes, which should have contained elixirs. Beside them was a top-grade magical artifact alchemy furnace.
A look of joy appeared on Wu Tao's face. Just as he swept everything into his storage bag, he heard the roar of spiritual energy explosions from outside.
Other cultivators were fighting fiercely in the main hall for treasures.
As Wu Tao was about to leave the side hall he was in, the rumbling outside suddenly intensified.
It seemed that the items in the alchemy hall were almost all taken, and everyone was now setting their sights on the cultivators who had gained something.
Seeing this, Wu Tao shook his head and prepared to go out to rendezvous with Long Ao Potian, Su Youshi, Xu Sheng, and others.
He did not want to become a target and be caught in a chaotic barrage of spiritual energy, dying unjustly.
As he walked past a fork, a top-grade magical artifact, the "Soaring Dragon Flying Sky Axe," suddenly shot out from the side.
"You're seeking death!"
Without even looking, Wu Tao unleashed a series of sword strikes, his sword sounds pressing forward, directly counter-attacking. The rolling sword light was like the great river flowing east, a great river breaching its banks, and floodwaters surging back, hiding endless killing intent.
The Soaring Dragon Flying Sky Axe, after a brief resistance, was cut into several pieces by a barrage of sword energy, rendering it useless...
*Puchi!*
This disciple of the Cold Water True Spirit Sect also could not escape. The next second, he fell to the ground, clutching his neck, his eyes wide open.
After searching the storage bag on the opponent, Wu Tao turned and left the area to meet up with his companions.
Beside another side hall, the cold and arrogant Xu Sheng was confronting three inner disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Sweat beaded on Xu Sheng's fair forehead, and her clothes bore dozens of scars, stained with blood.
More than ten paces away, the three Heavenly Demon Sect disciples also had minor injuries to varying degrees, advancing cautiously.
"Little beauty, you have some skill, but it's a pity you met me, Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin. Surrender obediently!"
The leader of the three Heavenly Demon Sect disciples wore bright green clothes, his eyes filled with arrogant and wicked malice.
A pair of cunning eyes were fixed on Xu Sheng's beautiful face, and he licked his lips from time to time, looking quite perverse.
Xu Sheng's face was like frost, and she said angrily, "Bah, a bunch of despicable villains, insidious and cunning scoundrels! I will not let you have your way even if I die."
"Heh heh, before me, Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin, it's not so easy for you to die!"
Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin smiled sinisterly, his Yin-Yang Treasure Fan shaking. With a flick of the fan, pink poison powder, like a gentle spring breeze, wafted out, making one feel lethargic.
By the time Xu Sheng regained her senses, she felt dizzy and lightheaded. A sharp, cold-edged, top-grade magical artifact saber was now at her snow-white neck, its frigid blade only half an inch away from severing her carotid artery.
Just then, Wu Tao, having dealt with several enemies, walked into this side hall.
Seeing this scene, a boundless rage ignited in his heart.
Impulsively, without thinking, he roared out, a word filled with killing intent: "You're seeking death!!!"
...
Rewind!
Just then, in the side hall, as Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin was about to make a move.
Suddenly, an enraged voice came from outside, clearly entering the side hall and reaching everyone's ears.
"Who is this ignorant fool who dares to curse this Gongzi?"
Hearing this, Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin leaped up like a dog with its tail bitten.
His eyes shot out icy killing intent as he scanned his surroundings.
Within the Heavenly Demon Sect, everyone knew that he, Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin, was the direct descendant of a late Core Formation elder.
No matter where he was, anyone who dared to openly disrespect him was courting death.
A sudden, nameless rage filled his chest. At this moment, he had to kill someone to vent his anger.
...
*Bang!!!*
As his gaze fell, a figure in black robes, like a towering giant, strode steadily into the side hall.
His clothes were tattered, and his originally black robes were stained black-red with blood.
Black hair flowed, and droplets of blood scattered in the air with the wind.
It was a tragic beauty of instant death!
Wu Tao, on the other hand, looked like an Asura death god emerging from a sea of blood.
*Hiss~ Hiss!!!*
Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin and the other two couldn't help but gasp in unison, their pupils contracting violently as they stared at the figure in horror.
From him, they felt a dense, pungent smell of blood.
His aura was earth-shattering, like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, incredibly domineering and sharp, causing the surrounding air to stagnate!
It was as if, with just a glance, one could see a terrifying mountain of corpses and a sea of blood rushing towards them.
The newcomer was none other than Wu Tao, who had just killed several people and hadn't even had time to change his clothes.
Upon entering the side hall, Wu Tao's first sight was Xu Sheng with a saber at her neck.
At that moment, the killing intent in Wu Tao's heart practically exploded. The murderous aura accumulated over thirty years reached its peak in an instant and then erupted.
Combined with the black and red blood-stained clothes, this killing aura reached a terrifying, soul-stirring level.
"Boy, who are you, daring to meddle in this Gongzi's affairs? Are you tired of living?"
Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin recovered his composure and immediately felt a wave of humiliation.
He, who had always been arrogant, was actually intimidated by the aura emanating from an inner disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
This was a great shame for him.
"Wu Tao, why are you here?"
Xu Sheng, with a saber at her neck, saw Wu Tao walk into the side hall and a look of pleasant surprise appeared in her eyes. She called out his name with a complex emotion.
"If I didn't come now, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life?"
Wu Tao's voice carried a strong sense of confidence and comfort.
If he hadn't been so lucky this time, arriving just in time, Xu Sheng would have truly been defiled by these beasts.
If something had truly happened, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
...
Wu Tao knew that he would never forget Xu Sheng, that cheerful and lively girl, her fleeting smile, and their complicated relationship.
Wu Tao gave Xu Sheng a reassuring and gentle smile.
...
Then, Wu Tao turned his head again, his expression instantly turning ice-cold.
Wu Tao looked at Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin and the other two. The surrounding atmosphere suddenly turned chilling, as cold as ice.
"Arrogant! You dare to utter such boasting words in front of us with just yourself? This Gongzi thinks you are not only ignorant but also a complete idiot." Da Feng Novel Network.
Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin suddenly closed his Yin-Yang Treasure Fan and let out a soft chuckle.
His eyes leered at Wu Tao with a sinister smile. His effeminate face was filled with ill intentions.
"Who cares what a dead person says."
"Today, the three of you will surely die. Even if the Dao Ancestor and the Buddha came, they couldn't save you. I said so!"
Wu Tao took a deep breath, his gaze instantly falling on Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin and the other two. The killing intent in his eyes intensified.
Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin put on an air of refined grace and waved his Yin-Yang Treasure Fan.
With a "swish," it opened, revealing several lifelike, beautiful figures. Upon closer inspection, they were indeed illusory maidens depicted in a painting.
The maidens in the painting were incredibly lifelike.
Their high chests and slender waists were captivating, making it impossible to look away after just one glance.
"Sheng'er, you stand aside first. I'll take you away from here after I deal with them."
Wu Tao took a deep breath. He knew that his anger was not as important as Xu Sheng's life.
"Don't worry." Xu Sheng, clutching her wound, ran to the side, watching Wu Tao nervously, her worry clearly visible in her eyes.
Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin obviously did not want to harm Xu Sheng. Seeing that she had retreated to a safe position,
He looked at Wu Tao with amusement and waved his Yin-Yang Treasure Fan condescendingly. "Boy, don't blame this Gongzi for not giving you a chance to strike first. If I were to make a move, you wouldn't even have time to attack before you were dead. How boring."
"Foolish!"
Wu Tao heard this, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
On the path of cultivation, how could there be any room for yielding? In a fight, it was either life or death. Even a lion fighting a rabbit would go all out.
*Bang bang bang!!*
Since this fool was willing to give him the initiative, how could Wu Tao refuse?
He abruptly stepped forward three times. With each step, his body split into three afterimages. After three steps, there were nine afterimages.
The stone slabs on the ground instantly shattered. The nine afterimages instantly appeared before Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin and the other two.
The nine afterimages, formed by Wu Tao, brandished their tattered ancient swords and simultaneously unleashed a brilliant torrent of sword energy, akin to stars.
In an instant, the torrent of sword energy surged out like a reversed Milky Way, crushing towards Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin and the other two.
At this moment, Wu Tao was using the Star River Sword Technique from the Star River Secret Scroll, a heritage of ancient sword cultivators.
"Damn it, how could he be so fast."
Seeing the sword energy before him multiplying like scattered stars, Gongzi Hongwu Chunxin rolled his eyes. All composure vanished, and he angrily attacked, abruptly rotating his Yin-Yang Treasure Fan to its full extent.
The Yin-Yang Treasure Fan unfurled in a fan shape. With a swift downward sweep, it slammed down towards the brilliant torrent of sword energy like lightning.
On the Yin-Yang Treasure Fan, one could clearly see layers of crystal-clear pink energy constantly circulating.
*Rumble!!!*
The brilliant torrent of sword energy and the dense, crystal-clear pink energy collided heavily.
