The sword-light circled around Ji Chuan's body.
Qiu Shiyin looked at the ferocious Origin Demons that had turned into corpses in an instant. She subconsciously shrank her neck and whispered, "The deeper we go, the more Origin Demons there will be. Are you really going to continue?"
"Don't worry, no one in this world cherishes their life more than I do!" Ji Chuan said coldly.
"What's so great about that? Who doesn't …" Qiu Shiyin muttered in a voice that only she could hear.
Lu Qingshan found it a little funny.
His senior brother, who was usually very gentle to his junior brothers and sisters, was so cold to Qiu Shiyin.
As for the reason, he could guess a thing or two.
Although he hadn't really known Ji Chuan for a long time, Lu Qingshan could clearly feel that Ji Chuan was a person who had a strong sense of honor for the sect.
From the fact that he was willing to take out two hours of his own cultivation time to feed the sword to him, this was proof enough.
And someone like Ji Chuan probably couldn't stand Qiu Shiyin's behavior of bringing outsiders to take advantage of the sect.
To put it simply, their views were incompatible.
Therefore, Ji Chuan didn't give Qiu Shiyin any face at all.
The three of them continued to walk in.
The entire Origin Orchid mine occupied an unimaginably large area. Along the way, there were at least five forks at each entrance.
Suddenly, the three of them felt a chill in their hearts.
A few steps in front of them stood a stooped figure.
The three of them stepped forward and arrived in front of the figure, their expressions changing.
The scene in front of them was too horrible to look at.
It was a middle-aged cultivator. His skull had been completely opened, and the brain matter inside was white and sticky like tofu pudding. It seemed that most of it had been swallowed, and only a small part remained.
Bone fragments were splattered everywhere, and the blood had dried and solidified, showing a purple-black color.
It was bloody and terrifying.
"Is he from your Qiu Family?" Ji Chuan asked.
Qiu Shiyin nodded silently and explained, "We don't know how many Origin Demons have poured into the mine, so they don't dare to come in and collect the corpses of our clan members."
Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan's eyes were solemn.
The situation was even stranger.
The scene in front of them was almost a massacre.
"Are Origin Monsters always this violent?" Lu Qingshan was puzzled.
"I'm not very sure. The Origin Demons have always minded their own business and never invaded Burial Ridge." Qiu Shiyin's voice was somewhat deep, making it difficult for others to understand the meaning behind her words.
At this moment, a long howl could be heard, and an ocean-like power surged forth.
A dozen or so baleful Origin Beasts charged out from the darkness around them. Their crimson eyes were like lanterns in the darkness, and they were extremely terrifying.
A beam of sword-light shot out from Ji Chuan's body.
Lu Qingshan also waved his hand, and the peach blossom was held tightly in his hand.
Shua!
Lu Qingshan slashed out with his sword, striking an Origin Demon that was charging towards him.
Whoosh!
The peach blossom was like a line of frost. The moment it touched the Origin Demon's body, a cold light erupted from it. The Origin Demon's tough scales were as thin as paper, and his body was instantly sliced in half.
The two halves of the Origin Demon's body tumbled in the air, exploding into a cloud of yellow blood mist that seeped into the mine walls.
Lu Qingshan had only used a casual slash to cut down a late-stage third-grade Origin Demon.
It was simply unbelievable.
This was the additional effect of the Nirvana Piercing Sword Intent.
It was incomparably sharp.
Even the scales of beasts of the same level could be easily broken by the Nirvana Piercing Sword Intent.
It could break through all things.
The death of their companion didn't cause any fear in the Origin Demons. Instead, it seemed to have stimulated them.
They madly surged over, their shrill howls echoing in the tunnel, causing pain to one's eardrums.
"Keep your eyes open." Ji Chuan glanced at Qiu Shiyin, who seemed to have been scared silly by the Origin Demons, and frowned. He subconsciously pulled her behind him and reprimanded in a low voice, "You hid behind me when there was danger. Do you still need me to warn you?"
While protecting Qiu Shiyin behind him, Ji Chuan's green waist whizzed out of the tunnel with a thought. Sword-light shone brilliantly like the light of destruction.
Chi chi chi!
Sword-light pierced through the darkness and exploded in all directions, pouring down and chopping the ferocious Origin Demons into pieces one by one.
A rain of blood seemed to have fallen in the dark tunnel at this moment.
Qiu Shiyin landed half a body behind Ji Chuan. She grabbed Ji Chuan's sleeve and looked at him, who was holding a sword in front of her.
As the sword light flashed, a faint shadow fell on her delicate face.
Her eyes were very deep and hidden in the shadows. It was impossible to see clearly what she was thinking at this moment.
The entire dark tunnel trembled incessantly for a time.
Neither Lu Qingshan nor Ji Chuan were ordinary cultivators. It didn't take long for them to slay the dozen or so Genesis Demons.
The thick stench of blood lingered in the empty passageway.
"Something's not right." Lu Qingshan frowned slightly and muttered, "There's something wrong with these Origin Demons. They seem to have lost their minds and only know how to kill."
Lu Qingshan recalled the scarlet eyes of the Origin Demons and said uncertainly, "It's like demonic Qi has invaded their minds."
However, there was no demonic Qi on the Origin Demons.
Hearing this, Ji Chuan's heart stirred, and he released Green Waist again.
The sword turned into a streak of light and pierced through the corpses of the Origin Demons as if searching for something. A moment later, Green Waist returned.
An extremely faint black light appeared on the silver-white sword.
"Swords are born from light and Green Waist can sense the energy of heaven and earth," Ji Chuan said in a low voice. "You guessed right. These Origin Demons have indeed been invaded by demonic Qi. Although this demonic Qi is very faint and almost fused into the blood of these Origin Demons, it is difficult to detect.
If not for Green Waist, I wouldn't have been able to confirm the existence of demonic Qi. "
Lu Qingshan's eyes narrowed slightly.
This should be one of the abilities of Ji Chuan's lifebound sword.
It was similar to the ability to detect Demons.
At this point, Hades' shadow was becoming more and more obvious.
Although Hades' goal was unknown for now, it was obvious that they had participated in the Origin Demons' invasion of the Origin Stone Orchid mine.
"Continue leading the way," Ji Chuan said to Qiu Shiyin behind him.
"Wait a moment!" Qiu Shiyin shook off Ji Chuan's sleeve and pounced into the mine on both sides with sparkling eyes.
"This area is rich in ore and the production of Origin Stone Orchid is very high. It's just that I didn't dare to come here because of the danger," Qiu Shiyin muttered as she searched the mine.
However, her movements were very nimble, as if she was a human mine scanner. Every time she reached out, she would definitely reap something.
Soon, she harvested a large patch of Origin Stone Orchid.
This made Lu Qingshan a little surprised.
This skill was not simple!
…
After Qiu Shiyin had collected most of the Origin Stone Orchid in the rich ore area, the three of them continued to walk deeper into the mine.
Not long after, a tyrannical aura unique to Origin Demons drifted over from a nearby cave.
"That place used to be one of the three mines that produced the most Origin Rock Orchids in the Qiu Family's mineral vein. Later, when the Origin Demon invaded the mineral vein, it was occupied by a terrifying Origin Demon. That was where the Elder died." Qiu Shiyin pointed at the cave entrance not far away, her voice trembling.
Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan exchanged a glance in the darkness.
"Stay here and be careful. We'll go take a look," Ji Chuan turned to Qiu Shiyin and said.
"Then come back quickly," Qiu Shiyin said timidly as she nodded her little head.
Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan held their breaths and continued forward.
Finally, in the dark mine, they saw the terrifying Origin Demon that had killed the Qiu Family's Nascent Soul realm elder.
It was an enormous Origin Demon with an extremely tyrannical aura. Its appearance had already begun to take on a human form and its body was covered in dazzling yellow scales.
The Origin Demon's eyes were closed and it seemed to be in a deep sleep. Its enormous body almost filled the entire mine.
In the Origin Stone Orchid mine beneath it, there was a lively deathly aura that surged up and continuously merged with the Origin Demon's body.
As the deathly aura was absorbed by the terrifying Origin Demon, more than half of the originally withered yellow mine had already returned to the original color of the earth.
