Chapter 87

Noticing Luo Xiu's gaze, Yan Yue'er couldn't help but frown.

"It seems this boy has seen through my previous plans."

Her beautiful eyes fixed on Luo Xiu, Yan Yue'er said calmly, "Take out the Silver Moon Demon Jade; we are about to enter the second area."

"Yes, Young Master Xiu, quickly take out the Demon Jade. There are definitely high-level demon beasts in the second area, which can yield better blood pearls!"

The other martial artists also urged, as the blood pearls they had collected along the way had strengthened their qi and blood, making them feel the real benefits.

"This Myriad Demon Secret Realm is truly a treasure land. If we have enough blood pearls and a good body cultivation technique..."

Many were excited, but body cultivation techniques were much more precious than ordinary techniques. They were all ordinary scattered cultivators, and taking blood pearls could only strengthen their qi and blood and have a slight effect on body cultivation.

Even if it didn't have a significant effect on body cultivation, swallowing blood pearls to strengthen qi and blood was still beneficial for martial cultivation. Moreover, if these blood pearls were sold, many body cultivation martial artists would be willing to pay a high price to acquire them.

Luo Xiu sneered inwardly. These people might not understand that entering this Myriad Demon Secret Realm is easy, but getting out might be difficult.

He estimated that Yan Yue'er brought these people in with no good intentions and never planned to let them leave alive!

Moreover, Luo Xiu couldn't see through Yan Yue'er. Her life force was like that of an ordinary person, and her cultivation level was also indiscernible.

Taking out the Silver Moon Demon Jade, Luo Xiu decided to see what Yan Yue'er's true intentions were, and he also didn't know how to leave this Myriad Demon Secret Realm.

The two Demon Jades emitted a red and silver light, like a blood moon and a silver moon rising. Everyone stood in the center of the transmission array.

Yan Yue'er reached out to take one of the Demon Jades but didn't touch Luo Xiu's.

However, just as Luo Xiu was about to put away the other Demon Jade, the leading Eighth Rank先天武师 (先天武师 is a term for a martial artist at the Eighth Rank of the先天stage, which can be translated as "Ninth Rank Martial Artist") suddenly made a move.

"I want this Demon Jade!"

This Eighth Rank先天武师 was a middle-aged man named Huang Yuanshan. His voice was full of energy and very domineering.

He didn't dare to take Yan Yue'er's Demon Jade, partly because he didn't want to offend the Yan family, and partly because only Yan Yue'er knew how to leave the Myriad Demon Secret Realm.

As the highest-ranking person among them, such an important item as the Demon Jade should naturally be in his possession!

However, before his hand could touch the Demon Jade, Luo Xiu, with even greater speed, put the Demon Jade away.

"Hum!"

The moment the two Demon Jades were taken away, the array activated the transmission. After a dizzying sensation, everyone appeared in the second area.

The moment they were transmitted, Huang Yuanshan shouted, "Boy, hand over the Demon Jade!"

As he spoke, Huang Yuanshan made a move, striking out with a white light, aiming directly at Luo Xiu.

This white light contained a sharp aura, clearly the result of cultivating the Metal attribute of the Five Elements.

However, Luo Xiu's speed was even faster!

Secretly activating the Profound Heaven Transformation, Luo Xiu's battle sword suddenly unsheathed, spreading a strong killing intent that made the other martial artists feel a bone-chilling cold.

A brilliant sword light swept past, and Luo Xiu's figure remained in place, while Huang Yuanshan's head was already flying off, spewing out a gush of hot blood.

One sword, to slay an Eighth Rank先天武师!

The many martial artists who had just been transmitted to the second area were completely stunned by this scene!

The battle sword was not returned to its sheath. Luo Xiu's cold eyes scanned the others, and no one dared to meet his gaze. He had used the Profound Heaven Transformation, a secret technique, to intimidate!

As long as you have enough strength, others won't dare to touch you or covet your treasures; they will only respect you!

Some knowledgeable martial artists glanced at the battle sword in Luo Xiu's hand. The moment Huang Yuanshan was killed, this sword burst with a terrifying killing intent, clearly not an ordinary human-grade battle weapon.

Could it be a ground-grade battle sword? That is a weapon that only a Martial King has the right to possess. What is this guy's background, to wield a ground-grade battle sword at the先天stage?

Some were surprised, some were afraid, and some were respectful. Various complex gazes were directed at Luo Xiu, but no one dared to oppose this Xiu anymore. The best proof was the Huang Yuanshan who was killed with one sword.

Even if some still had ulterior motives, they could only hide them in their hearts and not show them.

Seeing that no one dared to show hostility or murderous intent towards him, Luo Xiu sheathed his battle sword. The killing of Huang Yuanshan was undoubtedly a very effective intimidation, but Luo Xiu noticed that Yan Yue'er's expression didn't change much.

This woman is not simple!

Luo Xiu was on guard in his heart. He didn't think that just because he had the Life and Death Pearl, he could look down on others of his generation. After all, the world is vast and full of wonders. He could have such an encounter, and others might have as well.

This was the first death since entering the Myriad Demon Secret Realm, but it was not due to a battle with demon beasts, but rather internal strife.

"The second area is filled with third-level demon beasts, comparable to Eighth Rank先天武师. Everyone, be careful," Yan Yue'er suddenly spoke, breaking the silence among the group.

Hearing this, the group did not show fear but rather excitement. The higher the level of the demon beast, the better the effect of the blood pearl it produces!

Mentioning the blood pearls, some people's gazes inadvertently turned to Luo Xiu. In the first area, he and Huang Yuanshan had collected the most blood pearls. Huang Yuanshan was not a body cultivation martial artist, so he kept the blood pearls in a storage ring, which now all fell into Luo Xiu's hands.

Yan Yue'er needed the Rejuvenating Grass in the third area, and she was very familiar with the route. Under her lead, the group gradually delved deeper into the second area.

Luo Xiu expanded his perception, and his face suddenly changed. He felt a cold sweat on his back. Within his perception range, there were at least a thousand third-level demon beasts in ambush, with dozens of them having a power comparable to Great Martial Masters, making him feel a faint sense of danger.

Third-level peak demon beasts! Just within his perception range, there were dozens of third-level peak demon beasts. How many more were there in the entire second area?

Even if his strength was enough to not fear anyone below the Divine Soul Martial Ancestor, being surrounded by a few third-level peak demon beasts would still be extremely dangerous.

He could easily slay an Eighth Rank先天武师 because he cultivated fast sword techniques and had reached the perfect realm!

Fast sword techniques emphasize a single, decisive strike, and his low cultivation level made it easy for opponents to underestimate him.

Additionally, he had the Profound Heaven Transformation, a secret technique. The moment he killed Huang Yuanshan, he secretly activated this technique!

If he faced a Divine Soul Martial Ancestor, even the most ordinary first-level Divine Soul, with their soul perception transformed into divine sense, his fast sword might not pose a threat.

Walking through a forest where the trees and branches were blood red, three demon beasts fiercely pounced out.

These three demon beasts were equivalent to early-stage先天武师, and they did not pose a threat to the group.

Luo Xiu took a step forward, and the Netherworld Death Flame condensed into a sword aura. With a "puh," he pierced through the head of one demon beast, killing it with one strike.

The other two demon beasts were killed by two Seventh Rank先天武师. The other martial artists with lower cultivation levels did not dare to compete with the three.

In the Myriad Demon Secret Realm, everyone knew that they should not easily offend those stronger than themselves.

Among the three demon beasts, two of them gradually became blurry, each forming a blood pearl.

One of these blood pearls was from the demon beast Luo Xiu killed. The Seventh Rank先天武师 who did not get a blood pearl looked disappointed.

Reaching out to collect the blood pearl, Luo Xiu felt a surge of joy. This先天-level blood pearl contained qi and blood power ten times greater than a qi sea-level blood pearl!

"先天-level blood pearls should be enough to refine my physical body to the first level, or even to perfection! If I can get a Divine Soul-level blood pearl, I might be able to cultivate the Vajra Dominant Body Technique to the second level!"

If someone knew Luo Xiu's thoughts, they would be shocked. He intended to use the blood pearls to refine his physical body to a ground-grade lower level in the Myriad Demon Secret Realm. Once successful, he could almost match a ninth-level Divine Soul Martial Ancestor with his physical strength alone!

At this moment, the forest was filled with the roars of beasts.

"Bad, we must leave this place quickly!"

Yan Yue'er's face changed. "The demon beast that did not form a blood pearl will attract other demon beasts with its blood scent. If we are surrounded by a pack of beasts, it will be dangerous!"

As she spoke, Yan Yue'er took the lead, swiftly moving deeper into the forest.

The muscular man and the man in white followed closely, like the most loyal guards.

The others also changed their expressions, none daring to stay. They quickly followed.

Luo Xiu's face also changed. In his perception, hundreds of先天 demon beasts were rushing towards this place.

Everyone used their fastest movement techniques, but some were fast, and some were slow. As more and more demon beasts appeared, the group quickly scattered.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The ground shook, trees fell, and rocks split, mixed with the roars of demon beasts and the shouts of martial artists. The blood-red forest was in chaos.

In Luo Xiu's line of sight, Yan Yue'er had disappeared. Demon beasts were everywhere, and he didn't know where he was.

...

On a thick, blood-red tree trunk, Yan Yue'er stood quietly, her fiery red hair dancing behind her, her lips curling into a cold smile.

Behind her, the muscular man and the man in white stood respectfully, silent.

These two were servants she had taken in after escaping from the Yan family, and she had personally planted soul restrictions in them, making them obey her commands without any resistance.

Soul restrictions were a control method, planting restrictions in the soul of the target. With a single thought, she could make the target live or die at her will.

However, only martial artists with divine sense could use this method.

Yan Yue'er had divine sense, and at this moment, her divine sense enveloped the blood-red forest, seeing the scenes of the先天 martial artists struggling under the attacks of the demon beasts.

"You two wait here."

Yan Yue'er said coldly, and her figure flashed, disappearing into the forest.

Seeing her disappear, the expressions of the muscular man and the man in white changed from respectful to bitter and resentful.

The muscular man had once teased Yan Yue'er because of her beauty, but she had struck him with a finger, severely injuring him, and then planted a soul restriction in him.

The man in white had a soul restriction planted in him simply because she didn't like his appearance, which made him feel extremely aggrieved.

A moment later, Yan Yue'er returned, each hand holding a person, clearly two先天 martial artists who had entered the Myriad Demon Secret Realm with them.

These two were covered in wounds from demon beasts, their breaths weak, and there was a palm print on their dantian, not from the demon beasts but from Yan Yue'er, who had crippled their cultivation.
