"Ji, ji, ji, ji!"
When Xing Jue appeared, the monsters all turned around and rushed towards Xing Jue. They were fast and powerful. Before they attacked, Xing Jue could clearly feel the pressure they emitted.
At this moment, Xing Jue finally understood why even Xue Mei couldn't resist the attacks of these monsters. It was because even if he exerted all his strength, it would still be extremely tiring for him to resist.
"Swoosh!"
"Ji, ji, ji, ji!"
The Black Curse Sword in Xing Jue's hand was destroyed at an extremely fast speed. The semi-circular Black Blood Crescent kept flying with Xing Jue as the axis. Every time it flew, there would be a monster's scream.
"What is this? It's so creepy!"
However, what shocked Xing Jue was that after he slashed the monster with the Black Curse Sword, not only did the monster not die, but it was also split into two. Although its size was reduced by half, it still dashed towards Xing Jue tenaciously.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
As the number of monsters increased, the Black Curse Sword in Xing Jue's hand became faster and faster. Under the siege of such a large number of monsters, Xing Jue's situation became more and more dangerous.
"You, why did you save me?"
Just as Xing Jue was thinking about how to deal with these troublesome monsters, he suddenly heard Xue Mei's voice from behind him. He turned around and saw Xue Mei sitting on the ground and looking at him in a daze. She seemed to be in disbelief.
"Idiot, I'm your brother and you're my sister. Why do I need a reason to save you?" Looking at Xue Mei, Xing Jue's lips curled up slightly and revealed a gentle smile.
Although he looked calm on the surface, Xing Jue was overjoyed because he realized that Xue Mei's aura had changed. Most importantly, this Xue Mei was not the kind and cowardly Xue Mei.
In other words, although Xue Mei's consciousness had been completely occupied by evil thoughts, there was still room for change. At least, Xing Jue noticed the change in her.
"Pfft!"
"Wow ~"
However, at this moment, Xing Jue suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. At the same time, he felt a boiling liquid surging in his chest. When the boiling feeling burst out of his chest, Xing Jue realized that it was actually blood.
When Xing Jue was not paying attention, a monster took advantage of the situation and smashed Xing Jue's spiritual armor. At this moment, it was stuck to Xing Jue's back. Waves of strange energy were constantly attacking Xing Jue. It was actually trying to drill into Xing Jue's body.
"Damn it!"
In the face of this situation, Xing Jue endured the pain and waved the Black Curse Sword in his hand, wanting to cut the monster that intended to occupy his body into two.
"Stop, it's useless!"
However, at this moment, Xue Mei's voice suddenly rang out. Almost at the same time, Xing Jue was shocked to find that Xue Mei had already rushed in front of him. Moreover, her palm, which was condensed with blood-red gas, was already grabbing at the monster behind him.
"Squeak ~"
"Pfft ~"
The moment Xue Mei's palm reached the monster, Xing Jue was shocked to find that the monster turned into a stream of blood-red gas with a muffled sound. It circled around Xue Mei's palm and drilled into her body. From the looks of it, it seemed that Xue Mei had refined the monster.
"Squeak ~"
"Pfft ~"
After refining the monster, Xue Mei's palm grabbed at another monster that was attacking Xing Jue. Just like the previous one, this one turned into a stream of blood-red gas after letting out a shrill scream and a muffled sound. It was absorbed into Xue Mei's body.
Ji, ji, ji, ji, ji!
At this moment, the monsters seemed to have realized that something was wrong with the situation. They actually turned around and fled in all directions. However, Xue Mei had no intention of letting them go. As she waved her arms, two giant blood-red hands that were several meters long burst out and grabbed three monsters. Similarly, the monsters were refined the moment they came into contact with Xue Mei's hands.
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak ~"
Xue Mei's speed was very fast, and her strength was getting stronger. The gas on her body was also getting thicker and thicker. While the monsters were fleeing in panic, it created an excellent opportunity for Xue Mei. In just a short while, the hundreds of monsters were all refined by Xue Mei.
"Sister, what is this thing?"
When Xue Mei caught the last five monsters and refined them, Xing Jue could not help but gasp. It was because he realized that Xue Mei's aura had increased by a lot in just a short while.
"Uh …"
However, as soon as Xing Jue said those words, he regretted it. This was because when Xue Mei turned around and looked at him with her blood-red eyes, Xing Jue was shocked to find that her eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Phew ~ ~"
"They are called Resentment Bloody Souls."
However, what shocked Xing Jue the most was that Xue Mei suddenly closed her eyes after seeing him. After taking a deep breath, when she opened her eyes again, the killing intent in her eyes had disappeared. It was obvious that the killing intent she emitted earlier was not targeted at Xing Jue. It was more like it was generated when she killed those monsters.
"Hey, sister, what is that Resentment Bloody Soul?" Seeing that Xue Mei did not hate him, Xing Jue was even more delighted.
"Stop calling me sister. If you call me sister again, I'll kill you." But as soon as Xing Jue finished speaking, Xue Mei fiercely warned him and looked like she was going to attack Xing Jue.
Even so, this time, there was no killing intent in her blood-red eyes. She only rolled her eyes at Xing Jue. This action made Xing Jue even more delighted. He knew that his previous act of saving the damsel in distress had played a big role. At the very least, it had changed Xue Mei's opinion of him.
"Sister, I know you bear a grudge against me, but I had no choice. I'm just a commander in the Divine Secret Battalion. General Zhao is much older than me. I don't dare to disobey his orders."
Xing Jue put on an innocent look, as if he did not know that he was forced into the Heavenly Ambush Formation. This was because he knew that when Xue Mei told him the truth about the Li Residence, he was no longer the cowardly and kind Xue Mei.
It was just that she might have been grateful to Xing Jue for helping her recover her appearance. But later, when Xue Mei activated the Heavenly Ambush Formation, Xue Mei felt that Xing Jue had deceived her. That was why she was so furious.
"Stop pretending. I clearly heard that general call you lord. I won't trust someone like you so easily."
Xue Mei rolled her eyes at Xing Jue's slightly roguish behavior again. Then, she ignored Xing Jue and walked deeper into the cave.
"Sister, sister, you still haven't told me what that Resentment Bloody Soul is!"
Seeing this, Xing Jue chuckled and chased after Xue Mei shamelessly. At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten about the pain on his back because he was excited by Xue Mei's change. After all, if he could work together with Xue Mei in a place like this, he would have the highest chance of making it out alive.
"This Resentment Bloody Soul is the treasure my parents left for me," Xue Mei replied indifferently when she asked about it, "This is the treasure your parents left for you?"
"Is this the treasure your parents left for you?" A look of surprise flashed across Xing Jue's face.
"The Resentment Bloody Soul is refined from the corpses of people who died unjustly through a forbidden technique."
"The Resentment Bloody Soul is filled with hatred. It is the embodiment of hatred. If it fuses with a person's body, it will change that person's personality and thoughts. It will make them cruel and merciless until they turn into a cold-blooded killing tool," Xue Mei explained.
Upon hearing this, Xing Jue's heart skipped a beat and his scalp went numb. Waves of fear spread throughout his body because he suddenly remembered that when the Resentment Bloody Soul was trying to enter his body, he did have a lot of resentment that he shouldn't have.
"However, this Resentment Bloody Soul is very beneficial to me because all these flying guillotines are refined from the corpses of my clansmen. They are related to me by blood. Therefore, when I refine this Resentment Bloody Soul, not only will I not become cruel, but my cruel nature will also be suppressed."
Xue Mei explained to Xing Jue as she walked forward. Although she looked like she didn't care about Xing Jue, she told Xing Jue about the flying guillotines in detail.
"So that's how it is. Phew ~"
At that moment, Xing Jue came to a sudden realization. However, he couldn't help but admire Xue Mei's parents' good intentions. Putting aside the fact that they had sacrificed their own life to build such an enormous tomb for Xue Mei when he was seriously injured, just how great of a determination did they have to be to personally refine their clansmen into these things?
Afterwards, Xing Jue continued to ask Xue Mei about other things. However, Xue Mei didn't speak again. When they reached the end of the cave, another enormous spirit formation gate appeared before them.
"According to the strength of the Resentment Bloody Souls when they were alive, their strength and resentment are different. Thus, my parents isolated them with a spirit formation."
Sister Xue stopped in front of the spirit formation gate and said in a serious manner, "As for the Resentment Bloody Soul behind this spirit formation gate, both its strength and resentment are twice as powerful as the one you saw before."
"How confident are you in being able to refine them?" Xing Jue asked.
"I'm not confident," Xue Mei replied indifferently.
"Is there no other way out?" Xing Jue asked again.
"No. There's only one way out here, and it's at the end of this tomb. If you're afraid, you can follow behind me. I'll protect you. Consider it as me returning the favor from before." Xue Mei suddenly turned her head to the side and looked at Xing Jue with her blood-red eyes.
"Tsk, you only need to focus on refining them later. I'll help you deal with the rest."
However, Xing Jue merely smiled at Xue Mei's words and revealed his stubborn side. Then, he hefted the Black Curse Sword and stepped into the spirit formation gate first.
"Idiot!" Xue Mei frowned deeply at Xing Jue's reckless action. A hint of nervousness appeared on her face. Then, she hurriedly followed after Xing Jue.
