"Little girl, now do you know how strong your mother's bloodline is?
It's a pity that you didn't inherit it. Otherwise, you might be able to live for a few more days and let me absorb it again. Haha … "Du Qingyang let go of Chen Yang's shoulder and laughed presumptuously.
Right at this moment, something strange happened again!
Chen Yang, who was entangled in Du Qingyang's body, felt his body loosening slightly. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. He suddenly raised his right arm and pierced his fingers like a knife towards Du Qingyang's body.
On his arm, more than 20 mysterious acupoints lit up one after another. Each of them emitted a dazzling light like the sun, accompanied by a strong sense of heat.
A 'puff' sound was heard.
Blood appeared on Du Qingyang's waist and abdomen, and it was pierced again.
Chen Yang's right arm, which was as sharp as a blade, was only pierced through one of Du Qingyang's fingers and could not go any further.
"Hmph, stubborn …" Du Qingyang looked down at the wound on his lower body and snorted coldly.
However, before he could finish his sentence, a 'bang' sound was heard.
Following that, 'bang' sounds were heard continuously!
Chenyang's entire right arm, which had pierced into Du Qingyang's body, exploded under the continuous flashes of white light on the surface of the mystic aperture, leaving a big bloody hole in Du Qingyang's abdomen.
Du Qingyang roared. He raised his head and opened his bloody mouth again. Scarlet blood gushed out from his mouth as he tried to bite Chen Yang angrily.
The accumulated injuries in his body could no longer be suppressed, and the colorful scales on his body flickered as if they were going to disappear at any time.
Chen Yang was shocked. In a panic, he only had time to use his remaining left arm to block in front of his body.
"Hu …"
At this moment, a whistling sound of wind was heard.
A blurry figure burst from afar, and a tall figure bathed in blood appeared.
He raised his fist abruptly, causing a series of explosive sounds to ring out from his arm. Dozens of Xuan acupoints lit up as he smashed his fist towards the White Bone Long Sword that Gu Qian Xun had stuck on Du Qingyang's face.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
Gu Qianxun only felt a numbness in her arm, causing her to lose her grip on her sword as it flew out of her hand.
The white bone sword swept past, no longer being obstructed by the bones.
The colorful scales on Du Qingyang's neck suddenly shattered, and his head was split into two halves, falling from Chen Yang's shoulder with a dull thud.
Then the white bone sword flashed again, stabbing into the dantian of his lower abdomen, crushing the nascent soul in it.
Chen Yang's eyes suddenly widened. Half of his face was smeared with blood and filth. He froze on the spot, still holding his left arm, motionless.
This turn of events happened too quickly and strangely. Not only him, even Gu Qianxun was stunned on the spot.
After a few breaths, she turned her head to look at the figure that was covered in blood. Her eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of shock. That person was the victim that she thought would definitely die, Li Feiyu!
Naturally, it was Han Li.
What made her even more shocked was that there were 72 mysterious orifices on Han Li's body that had lit up.
Other than the 54 mysterious orifices that Han Li had cultivated from the Great Heavenly Star Yuan Art and the White Feather Soaring Art, there were also 18 new mysterious orifices on his arms.
"Herculean Vajra Arts … How is this possible?"
Gu Qianxun could feel the location of the mysterious orifices on Han Li's arms. Her face was full of disbelief, and she couldn't help but cry out.
How long had it been since they exchanged techniques? How could this person open all 18 mysterious orifices that could be opened by the Herculean Vajra Arts?
Could it be because of the Kyara Blood Formation?
Gu Qianxun looked at the bloodstained Han Li with a hesitant expression, but she didn't make any movements.
At this time, Chen Yang finally regained his senses. His body trembled slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
Since Du Qingyang was already dead, there was naturally no way to restrain him. When Chen Yang slowly stood up, the former's body had completely collapsed. The white bone sword that was embedded in his body had actually shattered as well.
The three of them looked at each other, and for a moment, they were all silent. None of them made any unnecessary movements.
Whether it was their own will or not, they were able to kill Du Qingyang because of their combined efforts.
After a while, it was still Han Li who made the first move.
"If it's possible, I don't want to fight with you anymore." He took a step back, putting some distance between himself and the two of them.
Chen Yang and Gu Qianxun both took a step back at the same time, and their eyes were filled with vigilance.
"Fellow Li, that's exactly what I was thinking." Gu Qianxun quickly replied.
"The two of you, just now, we could be considered to have worked together to survive. Let's not kill each other." Chen Yang's face revealed a stiff smile as he said.
As he finished speaking, he took out a black stone box from his bosom, and from it, he took out a blood-red pill and swallowed it.
On the bloody wound of the right arm where the white bones were exposed, a blood-white spiritual light intertwined and gathered. Countless flesh sprouts grew wildly in the spiritual light, and in the blink of an eye, a seemingly intact right arm was beginning to take shape.
Subsequently, Chen Yang took out a piece of beast skin from nowhere, and wrapped it around the arm that looked like it had just been reborn.
"What exactly happened?" Han Li raised his hand to wipe off the blood on his face as he asked.
"Fellow Li, can't you see clearly?
This matter was planned by me and Captain Chen Yang … No, it should be said that I and the City Lord Chen Yang worked together. However, I did not expect that in the end, it was Fellow Li who made the final decision to kill him. "Gu Qianxun said with a smile.
"So that means that the bottle of blood-red liquid that I consumed was also left behind by you?" Han Li's heart skipped a beat as he asked without batting an eyelid.
It seemed that Gu Qianxun and Chen Yang, for the sake of revenge and for the position of the City Lord, took the opportunity to tamper with the Gama Blood Array to kill Du Qingyang.
In the end, due to a series of coincidences, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him, as he devoured the blood qi and the power of the stars in Du Qingyang's body, greatly increasing his physical strength.
"Indeed, it was me who placed it there.
However, Fellow Li need not worry. That bottle was merely the fetal blood of a Berserk Blood Scale Rat that had been refined a little. It could only catalyze the blood in your body and make it more violent. It itself does not have any harmful effects. "Gu Qianxun said apologetically.
"No harmful effects … Fellow Li, aren't your words a little too light?" Han Li sneered.
"If Fellow Li wishes to blame me, I have nothing to say.
Indeed, the purpose of giving this to you was to make use of you to attack Du Qingyang, and I did not consider what would happen to you. "Gu Qianxun said honestly.
"Regarding this matter, Fellow Li, please allow me to apologize in advance. If I hadn't invited you to Qingyang City, the true spirit bloodline in your body wouldn't have been coveted by Du Qingyang. Naturally, you wouldn't have encountered this series of troubles.
The reason why I attacked you so many times was because I was under Du Qingyang's orders, and I had no other choice. "Chen Yang bowed respectfully towards Han Li as he spoke.
"Since I had no other choice, there is no need to pursue the matter any further." Han Li revealed a relieved smile as he spoke.
Naturally, he did not believe the words of Chen Yang and Gu Qianxun.
Under the circumstances at that time, he was merely a chess piece for the two of them, and was indeed not worthy of them having any misgivings.
The reason why the two of them were willing to negotiate peacefully with him was because they could not see through his strength and were fearful of him.
"Brother Li is magnanimous, I am sincerely convinced." Gu Qianxun bowed with a smile as she spoke.
"Since we have let bygones be bygones, there is no need for me to stay any longer. I shall take my leave now." Han Li clasped his hands towards the two of them as he prepared to leave.
The Black Calamity Worms in his body had not been removed yet, and his life was in danger at any time. Only by finding the Black Calamity Stone as soon as possible could he truly escape from this dangerous situation.
"Brother Li, do not be anxious. Even though Du Qingyang and his four trusted captains are dead, there are still many of their remaining forces. If we do not completely control them, I am afraid that we will not be able to live in peace.
After exploding my Xuan Aperture this time, my right arm is temporarily useless.
Therefore, I have a presumptuous request … "Seeing that Han Li was about to leave, Chen Yang hurriedly spoke to stop him.
"Fellow Chen Yang, do you want me to help you sit on the throne of Qingyang City?" Han Li stopped in his tracks as he turned around and asked.
"That's right.
After this incident, I finally know that Fellow Li's true strength is so strong. Therefore, I would like to invite you to join the alliance between Fellow Gu and I.
Once we take over Qingyang City, not only will we not have to worry about our safety, we will also have a stable supply of Beast Cores for cultivation in the future. "Chen Yang nodded.
Han Li hesitated as he listened. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "I can help you, but I have two conditions that you must agree to. Otherwise, there is no need to talk."
"Fellow Li, please speak." Chen Yang unconsciously frowned as he spoke.
"Before entering the Xuan Arena, my body was implanted with the Black Calamity Worm, so it must be removed.
Furthermore, Fellow Shi Kong and Daoist Xie who came with me earlier must be released as well. "Han Li said.
"Fellow Daoist Li, truth be told, the Black Calamity Worm restriction was developed by Du Qingyang himself, and I don't know how to remove it.
However, Du Qingyang has always had a secret treasure vault that is extremely well-guarded. The Black Calamity Worm is an important tool for him to control the Xuan Arena, so perhaps the method to remove it is hidden in there. We have to go there and take a look, "Chen Yang sighed.
"Treasure vault?
Then let's go and have a look, "Han Li nodded upon hearing this.
"I'm really sorry about Fellow Daoist Shi Kong … For some reason, he was sent to Xuan City by Du Qingcheng a long time ago, and we haven't heard from him since then.
As for Daoist Xie, he's only been by my side as a servant during these past few years. Not only have I not made things difficult for him, we've gotten along quite well with each other.
If he's willing to return to your side, I naturally won't object, "Chen Yang said as he turned toward Daoist Xie.
Han Li also turned his head and cast his gaze toward that direction.
However, Daoist Xie seemed to have turned a deaf ear to Chen Yang's words and did not move in the slightest.
Han Li's heart sank upon seeing this, but he did not say anything.
The cave was silent for over ten breaths, and the atmosphere was rather heavy.
"Let's talk about this later. Fellow Daoist Chen Yang, why don't you take us to the secret treasure vault of the City Lord's Manor to find a way to remove the Black Calamity Worm first?" Gu Qianxun spoke up to break the silence.
"You're right, Fellow Daoist Gu.
However, before we go, we have to clean up this place first, "Chen Yang said as he swept his gaze across the messy cave and the three who were covered in filth.
