Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

Outside of Haoran City, at the city gates, Lu Xuan and Mu Yun stood firmly in the void.

At this moment, Haoran City was enveloped by a thick, ink-like white mist.

Simultaneously, the white mist was continuously emanating a bone-chilling coldness, as if it could solidify into frigid ice at any moment.

Under the shroud of this biting frost and white mist, even martial artists with excellent eyesight found it difficult to penetrate the dense white fog and see the scene within the city.

Mu Yun, dressed in a vibrant and eye-catching red Xuan Bird uniform that resembled burning flames, casually held his hands behind his back, floating lightly beside Lu Xuan.

However, Mu Yun's face was filled with solemnity, and his eyes revealed a rare hint of worry.

It had been a long time since he had encountered such powerful Yin energy. The last time he faced a disaster-level entity was over a hundred years ago.

Back then, the late Emperor was still alive, and he was just a Earth-level Xuan Bird Guard!

"What dense Yin energy!"

Mu Yun muttered to himself, his voice revealing a trace of unconcealed panic.

Lu Xuan, standing beside him, was slowly enveloped in a faint layer of purple radiance, the gentle halo like ripples of water.

These ripples spread out from Lu Xuan's body, rippling through the surrounding space.

Immediately afterward, the Yuan Shen power within Lu Xuan's Divine Palace surged like a awakened torrent, flowing torrentially within his body.

Every inch of flesh on Lu Xuan's physical body seemed to be illuminated by a river of light, shining brightly and radiating profound golden light.

Finally, a strand of condensed and pure Yuan Shen power burst out from the Divine Palace, rapidly surging into the Void Realm in front of Lu Xuan's chest.

In an instant, the void in front of Lu Xuan seemed to be forcibly torn open by an invisible hand.

Immediately, a massive, dark-colored blade suddenly appeared, quietly hovering in front of Lu Xuan.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan slowly raised his right hand, his movements unhurried but full of confidence in controlling everything.

Then, Lu Xuan forcefully grasped the void with his five fingers, and the Netherflame Dark Blade flew swiftly with a sharp aura, steadily landing in his palm.

After the Netherflame Dark Blade landed in Lu Xuan's hand, the mysterious patterns on the blade suddenly bloomed with dazzling dark light.

After sensing the power of the Heaven and Earth Origin within the Netherflame Dark Blade, Lu Xuan did not rush to act.

Immediately, Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly turned his head, focusing his gaze on Mu Yun beside him.

"Let's go, Chief Mu!"

Lu Xuan's primary task in coming to Haoran City was not to directly confront this disaster-level entity and eliminate it in one fell swoop.

Instead, it was to have Mu Yun enter Haoran City with him to verify the true nature of this strange object.

Moreover, Lu Xuan could not yet discern whether the people in Haoran City were dead or alive.

If it weren't for these two reasons, given Lu Xuan's temperament, he would have already unleashed the Blazing Sky Blade Technique with all his might outside the city, leveling the entire city to the ground!

Why would he waste precious time at this critical juncture, risking his life to enter the ghost realm in the city to search for the hidden disaster-level entity.

Now, Lu Xuan, with the Seven-Pattern Moon Artifact Netherflame Dark Blade, coupled with the fifth level of the Blazing Sky Blade Technique, could easily unleash the power of the Divine Palace Realm's perfection.

And this disaster-level entity in the city, as long as its strength did not exceed the perfection of the Divine Palace Realm, would only require a few slashes from Lu Xuan.

In an instant, Lu Xuan and Mu Yun were tightly wrapped by an invisible force, the force like an indestructible shield, firmly protecting the two.

Then, Lu Xuan took the lead, flying to the forefront, and crashed head-on into the overwhelming dark white Yin energy.

Seeing this, Mu Yun did not hesitate at all, closely following behind Lu Xuan, and also crashed into the cold white mist.

"Boom!"

With a muffled loud noise, the Yin energy that enveloped the entire Haoran City was forcibly torn open.

Lu Xuan and Mu Yun moved like lightning, swiftly flying towards the torn opening of Yin energy, and then steadily landed within the city.

As soon as he landed, Lu Xuan felt a decaying, eerie, and cold aura rushing towards him.

Everywhere he looked, the streets within the city were deserted and silent.

The surrounding houses were dilapidated under the erosion of Yin energy, with tiles falling off and walls peeling.

It was as if the city had been forgotten by time, leaving only endless vicissitudes and strangeness.

After witnessing the desolate scene before him, Lu Xuan's eyes instantly burst out with dazzling light.

The rich purple radiance that burst forth from those eyes was like a torrent of a breached dam, surging out.

Within this extremely brilliant purple light, there was even a fusion of an unparalleled scorching aura.

This terrifyingly hot aura spread rapidly from Lu Xuan's body with the force of a prairie fire.

In an instant, boundless purple light swept towards Haoran City.

The purple light was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at it, like a giant sun slowly burning and rising.

What terrifying power!

"Is this the power of Chief Lu?" Mu Yun exclaimed inwardly, his eyes wide.

Power comparable to a Yuan Shen True Person!

He stared at the surging purple light around Lu Xuan, his face filled with disbelief.

"What terrifying power!"

Lu Xuan did not move at all, the terrifying power he released.

Just feeling it was enough to make Mu Yun's breathing stagnate.

Even his body was trembling slightly under this powerful pressure.

Mu Yun subconsciously tightened his grip on the Azure Underworld Sword, trying to find a trace of composure.

However, his hand also trembled slightly, completely unable to suppress the turbulence in his heart.

While Mu Yun was shocked, the purple light released by Lu Xuan illuminated everything that was originally lifeless and silent in the surrounding area.

In fact, what Mu Yun didn't know was that within this sky full of surging purple radiance, there was also Lu Xuan's extremely terrifying Yuan Shen power.

In the next moment, Lu Xuan's scorching and extremely oppressive Yuan Shen power was like an invisible but tenacious net.

It spread rapidly at an alarming speed, covering the entire city tightly.

At this critical moment, every corner of the city seemed to have its lifeline pinched by an invisible hand, and bursts of miserable screams suddenly erupted from all directions.

The sound was shrill and piercing, as if it were the wails of wronged souls from the Nine Nether Hells, piercing directly into people's eardrums, making their scalps tingle.

And under Lu Xuan's gaze, the previously silent and empty houses suddenly spewed out countless mysterious black shadows, as if they had been subjected to strange means.

These jet-black shadows seemed to be moving extremely fast, filling the surroundings in the blink of an eye.

Looking closely, the faces of each black shadow showed an extremely strange appearance.

They were the hundred states of all living beings in the world, either joyful or angry, either sad or happy, and all kinds of expressions appeared alternately without any regularity.

Compared to Lu Xuan's composure, Mu Yun's reaction could be described as completely different.

His eyes instantly froze, his gaze seeming to be firmly nailed by this sudden strange scene, looking dazed and lifeless.

The Gang Yuan that had been circulating within Mu Yun's body seemed to have encountered an invisible dam, gradually slowing down until it stopped completely.

Mu Yun's body trembled slightly, as if being firmly clamped by an invisible force.

He could neither move at all nor recover from this terrifying scene.

"Huh?"

Lu Xuan suddenly turned around, his eyes looking at Mu Yun, and his abnormal state was instantly captured by Lu Xuan.

Almost instantly, Lu Xuan did not hesitate at all, and a strand of condensed Yuan Shen power shot out from Lu Xuan's fingertips.

This strand of Yuan Shen power was like an unstoppable light arrow, rushing straight towards Mu Yun, and then surging into his body along his chest.

"Is this the Yin Nether power of the ghost realm?"

Lu Xuan's strand of Yuan Shen power that entered Mu Yun's body was like stepping into an icy world.

Mu Yun's body was tightly blocked by a layer of mysterious and cold black energy, airtight.

At first glance, it looked like a black gas flow, but under Lu Xuan's careful perception.

The extremely cold black gas flow, its form was actually like a flowing black liquid, with a thick texture.

The black liquid was slowly wriggling in Mu Yun's body in an extremely strange way.

Sometimes it meandered down Mu Yun's arm, and sometimes it gathered and surged at his chest.

It seemed to have life, constantly changing its shape, and each movement exuded a chilling aura, freezing every inch of Mu Yun's flesh.

What shocked Lu Xuan even more was that the Gang Yuan in Mu Yun's body, which was originally as hot as a raging fire.

Under the erosion of this Yin Nether power, it seemed to be about to condense into ice crystals.

You must know that Mu Yun is not an ordinary Outer Strength Grandmaster. His Gang Yuan contains a trace of Divine Sense power.

That is the existence of a Half-Step Divine Palace Realm.

In this strange ghost realm, Mu Yun, a martial artist of the Half-Step Divine Palace Realm, was invaded into his body by those Yin Nether powers in one encounter.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan's incomparably powerful Yuan Shen power was like an unstoppable ocean of flames, galloping in Mu Yun's body.

Wherever Lu Xuan's Yuan Shen power went, the eerie and strange Yin Nether power quickly dissipated like melting snow meeting the scorching sun.

In just a moment, the Yin Nether power filling Mu Yun's body was completely annihilated by Lu Xuan's Yuan Shen power with the force of thunder, leaving not a trace.

After Lu Xuan eliminated the Yin Nether power in Mu Yun's body, the corner of his eye caught sight of the black ghostly shadows surging from all directions.

These strange ghostly shadows bared their teeth and claws, carrying a chilling aura, as if they wanted to devour Lu Xuan and Mu Yun.

If it were an ordinary martial artist, facing this overwhelming and seemingly endless black ghostly shadow, they would only feel as small as an ant.

In this scene of powerlessness to resist, most people's thoughts of resistance would be instantly suppressed, leaving only despair and fear in their hearts.

But Lu Xuan was completely different. His eyes were locked on the surging black shadows, and an uncontrollable excitement and agitation gradually appeared on his calm face.

In Lu Xuan's eyes, these countless strange black shadows were not a fatal threat at all, but system points.

As long as he eliminated them one by one, Lu Xuan could harvest a massive amount of system points.

Suddenly, Lu Xuan's aura soared, and the muscles of his right hand holding the Netherflame Dark Blade tightened, veins popping out.

Then, Lu Xuan waved it violently around, and at the same time, he shouted: "Blazing Sky!"

Instantly, the blade of the Netherflame Dark Blade burst out with mysterious dark flames.

The black flame was as thick as ink, carrying an endless scorching aura, rolling and surging with the force of a tsunami.

Then, a touch of purple flame exuding extreme high temperature quietly floated on the blade.

The purple flame shuttled nimbly, quickly intertwining with the dark black flame.

The two different flames intertwined and merged, and unexpectedly transformed into a majestic black-purple flame dragon.

The black-purple flame dragon first hovered and danced around Lu Xuan and Mu Yun, firmly protecting the two inside.

Then, the black-purple flame dragon roared to the sky, with an indomitable momentum, and swept swiftly towards the overwhelming black ghostly shadows.

At the moment of approaching the ghostly shadows, the black-purple flame dragon burst open, turning into black-purple flame waves like a monstrous sea.

Wherever the black-purple flame waves passed, the air was instantly ignited, making a "sizzling" popping sound, and with the force of thunder, it burned all the black ghostly shadows blocking in front into nothingness.

The endless black ghostly shadows, in this terrifying black-purple fire sea, let out miserable screams.

In a moment, the overwhelming and countless black ghostly shadow tides seemed to have intelligence.

They seemed to sense a catastrophe and fled frantically in the direction away from the terrifying black-purple fire sea.

Then, those black ghostly shadows that were fortunate enough to survive from the black-purple fire sea seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and flew towards the sky.

They were extremely fast, gathering rapidly in the air, intermingling with each other, and condensing together.

In the blink of an eye, a huge and unparalleled face suddenly appeared in the sky, its size almost occupying half the city.

This face was flawless, exquisitely beautiful, but its skin was as white as snow, without any blood.

It was a woman's face, with regular features but revealing an unspeakable strangeness.

Her cold eyes were hollow and lifeless, overlooking below, as if she wanted to bring all things in the world into endless silence.

Lu Xuan ignored her and quickly looked at the system panel deep in his mind.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Divine Palace True Person (Great Accomplishment)

Techniques: Blazing Sky Blade Technique 5/9,咫尺天涯 2/9, Undying and Unextinguished 4/9 (can be deduced)

Points: 77660

Please confirm whether to consume 50000 system points to deduce Undying and Unextinguished!

Lu Xuan was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that a casual strike would earn him 30,000 system points.

Good heavens!

This was equivalent to the system points Lu Xuan would receive for refining a top-grade natural treasure.

Just as Lu Xuan was checking his system points, Mu Yun exclaimed in horror!

"Lord Lu!"

Immediately after, Mu Yun urgently shouted, "The woman above, she is not Princess Xingyue!"

"She is the personal maid that the late Emperor bestowed upon Princess Xingyue!"

Mu Yun was no simple man; he naturally understood the terrifying implications behind this.

If Princess Xingyue's personal maid was dead, it meant that Princess Xingyue had met with misfortune!
