Demon Cultivator: Heaven and earth are the cauldron, and all living beings are the medicine

Inside a deep cave on the third level of the Hidden Path Secret Realm, a green light flickered continuously.

Ning Lu and Gu Han stood facing each other before the cave, their eyes filled with coldness, the atmosphere tense.

The next moment, Ning Lu's figure soared into the air, his hands flashing with five-colored light, as he lunged towards Gu Han, shouting loudly.

"Anyway, killing is not prohibited within the Secret Realm! Today, this snake cave will be your burial ground!"

"Arrogant!" Gu Han shouted back, a blue light erupting from his hands.

Instantly, hundreds of densely packed ice cones appeared before the young man, shooting rapidly towards the oncoming Ning Lu.

"Child's play!" Ning Lu sneered, five flying swords emerged from his snow-white sleeves, merging in an instant into a single five-colored flying sword, directly confronting the dense ice cones.

"Boom!"

The hail of ice cones met the five-colored flying sword and shattered like pottery shards, unable to withstand even the faint sword energy emanating from the flying sword.

"This aura? Peak Foundation Establishment?! You actually broke through?!" Gu Han exclaimed in shock, a look of astonishment on his face.

The next moment, the young man swiftly retrieved a drop of essence blood, shimmering with dazzling light, from his waist and swallowed it, integrating it into his body.

This essence blood was none other than the drops taken from Gu Yuan Teng, the Gu family's ancestor, and given to Gu Yan that day. Gu Han, as an outstanding disciple of the Gu family, had naturally received a drop!

Instantly, the power of the Gu clan's bloodline erupted, a mark of essence blood appearing on Gu Han's forehead, his aura surging, his cultivation reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment in an instant!

"Ice Palm!" With the bloodline power activated, Gu Han disregarded everything else, frantically channeling the true essence within his body, transforming his right hand into a giant ice palm, roaring as he slammed it forward.

"Bloodline power? Interesting, but the gap between us now cannot be bridged by this small drop of essence blood!"

Ning Lu sneered repeatedly, the five-colored light in his hands intensifying. The five-colored flying sword shot out like a cannonball, carrying unparalleled sharp sword energy, heavily striking the incoming ice palm.

"Boom!"

The sword met the palm, and the five-colored flying sword was immediately repelled, Ning Lu staggering back several steps from the impact of the massive shockwave.

But Gu Han, on the other hand, fared far worse than Ning Lu!

The giant ice palm shattered upon encountering the five-colored flying sword, the numerous strands of sword energy emitted by the sword heavily impacting Gu Han's body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood as he flew backward.

Gu Han half-squatted, dragging his trembling body, slowly raised his head, and glared at the unscathed young man in front of him.

Suddenly, streaks of blood-colored light flashed on Ning Lu's right arm, as if a mark had been planted there, and that mark was intimately connected to the bloodline power within Gu Han's body.

Gu Han's pupils shrank to pinpoints, staring at the young man in disbelief, exclaiming in horror.

"That's?! The mark on the Young Master?! Why do you have the mark of my Gu family's Young Master? Wasn't he killed by the wolf tide? No! You killed him! You concealed the truth! A mere rogue cultivator like you, without any backing, dared to harm my Gu family's Young Master!!!"

Gu Han's eyes were bloodshot, his expression near madness, as he roared to the heavens.

Upon hearing this, Ning Lu abruptly raised his right arm, looking at the blood-colored mark on his body, his eyes also flashing with a strong hint of surprise, his thoughts drawn back to several months ago.

That night, the wolf tide besieged the city, and the branch master of the Azure Mist Sect led a team to proactively strike out, heading into the mountains to eliminate the wolf king, while Ning Lu and Gu Bai, led by Hu Da Nian, also embarked on the path to eliminate the Thunder Crowned Alpha Wolf.

He only remembered that at midnight that night, Hu Da Nian was fighting the Thunder Crowned Alpha Wolf alone in a long cave, while Ning Lu and Gu Bai stayed in a small cave nearby.

As the night deepened, the killing intent in Ning Lu's heart surged. Taking advantage of Gu Bai's distraction, worrying about Hu Da Nian, he used the Heart Demon 引 to kill him in one fell swoop.

As Gu Bai was dying, his hands tightly embraced Ning Lu's arm, like vines wrapped around it, refusing to let go even when he had only a breath left, even when his aura was almost extinguished.

Gu Bai's actions at the time had puzzled Ning Lu greatly, but given the situation, Ning Lu did not think too much about it.

Until today, in this Hidden Path Secret Realm, Ning Lu looked at the blood-red mark on his right arm and finally understood Gu Bai's actions on his deathbed.

This young master of the Gu family had foreseen that his future cultivation would definitely improve day by day and that he would definitely come to this Mo Yang City. As long as he planted a mark on himself, one day, the people of the Gu family would discover the clues on Ning Lu.

At that time, Gu Bai's brother, Gu Bai's father, would definitely do everything possible to avenge him!

"Good one, Gu Bai! You don't rest even in death; I truly miscalculated!" Ning Lu muttered to himself, his face gloomy.

The young man raised his head, looking at the heavily injured Gu Han in front of him, the killing intent in his eyes reaching its peak at this moment.

At the same time, Gu Han completely calmed down, rapidly analyzing the situation in his mind.

"No! With my current strength, I am definitely not a match for the young man before me! The only way now is to immediately find the eldest young master and tell him the truth about the young master's death!"

With this thought, Gu Han abruptly turned around, his figure soaring into the air, fleeing into the distance at top speed.

"Want to run? Can you escape?!" Ning Lu shouted.

He took a big step forward, his figure like thunder, catching up to Gu Han, who was fleeing at full speed, in a few breaths.

"Die!" Ning Lu's killing intent almost overflowed from his eyes as he roared, the five-colored light in his hands erupting.

The next moment, a five-colored flying sword appeared behind Gu Han in an instant, piercing the young man's back.

"Ah!!!"

A shrill scream echoed through the heavens and the earth, the five-colored flying sword piercing through Gu Han's entire chest, blood splattering across the sky, the young man's figure, along with the flying sword, crashing heavily into the hill below.

"Boom!"

Gu Han's figure crashed heavily onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust, Ning Lu's feet slowly landed on the ground, his eyes coldly watching the front.

As the dust settled, a dark hole appeared in Gu Han's chest, even his heart shattered, his entire body lying in a pool of blood, his eyes bloodshot, wide open.

No more breath! Dead and unseeing!

Ning Lu slowly took out the Primordial Ancient Cauldron from his sleeve, absorbing Gu Han's corpse into it, refining it in an instant!

Immediately, streams of blood energy surged from the ancient cauldron, entering the young man's body, slightly helping his cultivation to take a step forward.

"What a nuisance! Gu Bai's secret must not be exposed to the eyes of the Gu family, with my current mere peak Foundation Establishment cultivation, if it is exposed, I will surely die!"

Ning Lu frowned, his face extremely solemn, the five-colored light in his hands dissipating as he put away the five-colored flying sword, slowly turning around, returning to the cave that flickered with green light.
