I can push my cultivation progress to the end

“Good, good, good! What a vile old beast!”

Li Hai grinned, his teeth bared in a chilling smile. “You pickle children's corpses to make magical artifacts? You truly are a… scum-sucking, low-life bastard!”

“Huh?”

Lang Yunsheng was taken aback by what he heard. “I don't understand what you're saying…”

“No need to understand. Just die!”

Li Hai instantly brandished his steel whip, unleashing dozens of whip shadows that instantly blasted the pitiful child corpse puppet, upon which Lang Yunsheng had placed a portion of his mind and will, into a large pile of white ash.

And as the strands of bloodless corpse ash fell upon his shoulders, he vaguely heard a childish voice filled with innocence:

“Thank you… uncle…”

Li Hai instantly understood.

The voice was not an illusion, but rather… the lingering obsession of the child corpse from before.

This realization instantly ignited the flames of anger and boiling killing intent within his heart.

“Lang Yunsheng,”

Li Hai said coldly, “You truly deserve to die.”

With that, he abruptly stomped and shattered the ground beneath his feet, carrying a booming roar as he pierced through the hazy black mist, charging towards the high heavens above.

Whoosh—

After reaching a thousand feet in the air, Li Hai looked down upon the Wolf Citadel and discovered that the fortress had now transformed into a pitch-black mist domain, making it impossible to know where Lang Yunsheng was hiding.

“In that case…”

He muttered indifferently, “Then I can only transform into a monster.”

That's right, Li Hai decided to transform into a monster, utilizing its power, which was different from that of a human martial artist, to thoroughly search the entire Wolf Citadel and find Lang Yunsheng, who was hiding somewhere.

And the most suitable monster for this task was the vine monster from before.

With this thought, Li Hai suddenly changed his form from human to monster, his entire body suddenly expanding thousands of times, transforming into a massive vine monster with countless dark green vines entangled and knotted together, crashing down from the high sky towards the Wolf Citadel below.

Bang!

After traversing a thousand feet and heavily crashing to the ground, Li Hai instantly dispersed all of his vine limbs, burrowing into the ground beneath the earth like a horde of pythons through the cracks and crevices.

At the same time, these vines, which had burrowed underground, also began to frantically absorb countless nutrients from the surrounding soil through the Root Node Earth Tracing skill, self-proliferating and growing.

Thus, new vines sprouted from the surface of the old vines, spreading out in all directions, drilling through the soil and breaking through the rocks.

During the spreading process, Li Hai even opened up cave portals on each of the vines, frantically devouring everything above and below ground in the entire Wolf Citadel.

Thus, whether it was the broken corpses, the collapsed buildings, or the various body parts of the massive vine monster that were also hiding and tunneling underground.

All of them were transformed into a torrent of fragments and fell into the vast wilderness of Donglin Garden in the Guiyou Cave Heaven under the high-frequency cutting 'gnawing' and devouring controlled by others on Li Hai's vines.

Under normal circumstances, the vine monster could never have such an exaggerated ability to proliferate and spread. It couldn't do it, and naturally, Li Hai, who possessed all of its abilities, couldn't do it either.

To be precise, it was a vast underground palace located beneath the Wolf Citadel, connected to the ground by several spiral-shaped passages.

After the vines broke through the earth and stone and penetrated into the interior of this underground palace, Li Hai discovered through the eyeballs that.

In this underground palace, which had more than a dozen floors, each of which was hundreds of feet wide, everything from tables, chairs, beds, and daily necessities to water sources, electricity, and lighting was all available.

At the same time, hundreds of female bandits were meticulously maintaining the operation of the entire underground palace.

Immediately after entangling and crushing these female bandits one by one, Li Hai discovered that in some secret rooms on the third, sixth, and ninth floors of this underground palace, there were piles of bones and scattered human limbs.

What was terrifying was that there were obvious traces of being roasted, steamed, and cut on the surface of these bloodstained bones and fragmented limbs.

So the answer was obvious, that Lang Yunsheng… he was actually a cannibal, and the number of people he had eaten was definitely very considerable.

“Truly… disgusting.”

Along with the cold voice, Li Hai, who had changed back to human form from the monster, slowly shifted his gaze away from these broken limbs and looked towards the entrance of the secret room a dozen feet away.

There, a black-robed child with a smiling face had already stood at some point.

That's right, this was another child corpse puppet controlled by Lang Yunsheng.

“What ~”

Lang Yunsheng said with a smile, “Are you also interested in 'cai ren' (human livestock)?”

“'Cai ren' (human livestock)?” Li Hai said coldly, “You treat people as livestock?”

“Why can't I?”

Lang Yunsheng said lightly, “Some people are born to be eaten. If you don't eat them, wouldn't you be wasting their innate good taste…”

Before he could finish his words, a scarlet whip shadow swiftly lashed out, blasting him into dust all over the ground.

But as soon as he finished hitting, Lang Yunsheng's hateful voice sounded again:

“Look at you, why are you hitting a puppet? I have plenty of those things. I wouldn't feel bad even if I destroyed one or two.”

“Where are you?”

Li Hai looked around, following the sound, “Why hasn't a puppet appeared this time?”

“No need to look, in this underground palace, I can make my voice appear in any corner. There's no need for a puppet to show up at all, and…”

Lang Yunsheng's voice came from all directions, “Right now, I'm not in this underground palace at all.”

“Then where are you?” Li Hai asked in a deep voice.

“I'm above, in the Wolf Citadel that you smashed to pieces.”

Lang Yunsheng's voice came again, “Tsk tsk tsk, I have to say, Li Hai, you're really not simple. I originally thought that you would slowly grope from the ground to here and then enter the underground palace.

But I didn't expect that you could actually transform from a human into a monster, and it just so happened to be exactly the same as my vine monster.

To be honest, I've never heard of such a mysterious technique, and I don't know where you learned it from.

I can only say that the world is so big, there really is everything.”

Along with Lang Yunsheng's sigh, countless dense blood-red threads appeared out of thin air, wrapping the secret room where Li Hai was located layer by layer, looking like a blood prison at a glance.
