"Damn it! Do you really think I won't kill you?!"
Dugu Shengjian was furious. He leaped from the palanquin and charged at Ling Xiao.
Dugu Shengjian's fist struck him.
Ling Xiao punched back.
Cursed runes shone on his fist. They were blood-red in color, which was what the Golden Phoenix Sword Palace was best at.
Rumble!
The collision between the two of them caused the entire inner city to shake.
Dugu Shengjian flew back to the palanquin.
Ling Xiao also retreated a dozen meters.
Unexpectedly, they were evenly matched in the fight.
"Hmm?"
Dugu Shengjian frowned. He had only used half of his strength, but his opponent hadn't used his full strength either.
Since when did the Golden Phoenix Sword Emperor become so powerful?
"No wonder you're so arrogant. You even dared to touch my people. It seems that your cultivation is different from the rumors."
Dugu Shengjian said coldly.
"Your Highness, you flatter me. Do you want to continue?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
"No need. Let's go."
Dugu Shengjian's main purpose of standing up for Hong Yu was to test the Golden Phoenix Sword Emperor.
If the Golden Phoenix Sword Emperor was so weak that he could kill him with a single punch, there was no need to recruit him or even send him to the Bloodthirsty Demonic Sword Tomb.
However, it seemed that the Golden Phoenix Sword Emperor was qualified to enter the Bloodthirsty Sword Tomb.
His strength wasn't bad at all.
After Dugu Shengjian left, Eunuch Gao said, "Golden Phoenix Sword Emperor, the entrance to the Bloodthirsty Sword Tomb is at the bottom of this staircase.
There's no one guarding it.
I won't follow you. To be honest, I'm afraid of that place as well.
Any martial artist who goes there will regret it. "
"Thank you for your reminder."
Ling Xiao smiled. In fact, he could feel the terror of the Bloodthirsty Sword Mound from here.
However, he had no other choice.
He had to go in.
No matter what, he had to save her.
He took a step forward and walked down the stairs.
It was getting darker and the smell of blood was getting stronger.
He saw something that looked like a teleportation array, but it was blood-red in color.
It looked like a demon that could devour one's soul.
"Coo!"
Ling Xiao swallowed his saliva and finally stepped in.
A moment later, Ling Xiao saw his surroundings clearly.
His guess was not wrong. This was indeed a small world, and it was incompatible with the outside world.
The air was filled with the smell of blood. Even the ground was blood-red.
Just by standing there, he could feel a terrifying suction force sucking away his blood.
"Array of Reality!"
Ling Xiao activated his Quintessential Essence and controlled his Qi and blood. Then, he opened his Tai Chi Eye.
Since Dugu Bajian dared to let him come here, it meant that there must be a trap here.
He had to find out first.
With one look, he understood.
The Array of Reality could turn all illusions into reality.
For example, Ling Xiao's true thoughts and his true identity would be exposed without reservation.
"What a pity, Dugu Bajian. You can use this method to deal with others, but against me, Ling Xiao, you're still too inexperienced."
Ling Xiao sneered but was not in a hurry to move forward.
Instead, he sat down in a lotus position. On one hand, he was adapting to the air and gravity here. On the other hand, he was observing and analyzing the Array of Reality.
This array formation obviously could not have been set up by the people of the current era. Ling Xiao observed that the Array of Reality had existed for at least 90,000 years.
The array formation was extremely powerful and perfect.
Even though 90,000 years had passed, it was still able to repair itself without any flaws.
If he did not have the Tai Chi Eye and the guidance of a Yuan Venerate, this array formation would really be difficult to break.
After about an hour, Ling Xiao stood up and walked forward.
Bloody gales continued to blow, but he had nothing to be afraid of.
After all, the Array of Reality had already been broken. Although it still existed, it would not expose him.
However, this was definitely not the Array of Reality.
After analyzing it, Ling Xiao discovered that not only was the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi in this Bloodthirsty Sword Array zero, but he also could not cultivate or recover his internal energy.
There was even a terrifying force that was forcibly extracting the Quintessential Essence from his body.
The longer he stayed here, the more troublesome it would be.
If Ling Xiao had not possessed a large amount of Quintessential Essence Pills that could recover internal energy, he would really have had a hard time moving forward this time.
"What exactly is this thing? How could it be so terrifying? Is it even more pressurizing than Dugu Bajian? "
Ling Xiao frowned. However, no matter how difficult it was, it could not stop him from rescuing people.
This place was so dangerous, so Yan Yue and the 18th Sword must have already had their Quintessential Essence sucked dry.
The current situation was extremely dangerous.
He had to find them as soon as possible.
He quickened his pace.
The Bloodthirsty Sword Tomb did not seem like a single level. Ling Xiao could sense that the most frightening aura was coming from the deepest part of the Bloodthirsty Sword Tomb.
The prisoners imprisoned on the first level were roughly at the Yin-Yang First Revolution and the 18th Level of Hell.
Many prisoners were locked up in each cell.
However, most of them were lying there weakly. The Quintessential Essence in their bodies was empty and only a little was left to sustain their lives.
"This doesn't seem like a prison cell. It seems more like a cultivation room. The people here seem to have been raised to provide Quintessential Essence."
Ling Xiao sucked in a cold breath.
Who would have thought that the inner city of the Sword Dynasty would have such a terrifying place?
From the look of it, the Sword Dynasty was much darker than he had imagined.
"Hey, new guy?"
A very confident voice came from the prison cell.
Ling Xiao looked around, and realized that this prisoner was different from the others.
Apparently, his Quintessential Essence hadn't been sucked dry. In fact, he was in excellent condition.
"Have you seen Nine Defiants' Falling Moon and the Devil Dragon Sword Court's 18th Sword?"
Ling Xiao looked at that person and asked.
"Let me out, and I'll tell you."
The man smiled.
Ling Xiao didn't respond. Instead, he waved his hand and sent a stream of sword energy toward the cell.
Although the cells were sturdy, anyone in the first division of the Lifeseizing level or higher could easily break them open.
Therefore, only Lifeseizers were imprisoned here.
"Heh heh. Everyone calls me the Gopher King. What's your name?"
The man said excitedly.
Although he maintained his good condition, he still couldn't break out of the prison cell, which made him very depressed.
"Sword Emperor Gold Phoenix!"
Ling Xiao said coldly. "I've already done what you asked me to do. Now tell me, where are those two people?"
The Gopher King scratched his head. "Nine Defiants' Falling Moon and the Devil Dragon Sword Court's 18th Sword are both in the second division of the Lifeseizing level. If I'm not mistaken, they should be imprisoned on the third level."
"How do we get there?"
Ling Xiao asked.
The surroundings were shrouded in a bloody mist, making it impossible to see the path ahead.
"If I show you the way, they'll kill me."
The Gopher King said.
"If you don't, I'll kill you right now."
