The Supreme White Works Slowly Ascending to Immortality Volume 1 Chapter 40 Forty, Kunlun Realm (Twenty)

  As time passed, the monks trapped in the mountain also more or less found a way out and rushed towards the top of the mountain. However, before they reached the second cave, the ground suddenly shook violently, rocks rolled down from inside the mountain, crashing into the molten core, emitting a deafening roar, as if hot waves were surging and magma was splashing everywhere.

  Before the crowd could even figure out what was happening, a massive killing aura burst forth from the summit, instantly covering up the red crack above their heads. Along with it came the excited roars of the demonic beasts within the mountain, and in an instant, the killing aura swept across the entire mountain range. The dark creatures hiding in secret also began to stir, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

  In the cave room, only a few channels away from Xiao Yao and Zi Dong, Wang Fu and Cao Tao were still fighting fiercely. However, the strange phenomenon in the mountain made their magical instruments pause, and they both looked up to gaze upwards.

  "Evil energy?! Evil cultivation?!" Wang Fu exclaimed, hastily putting away his magical instrument and creating distance between himself and Cao Taotao. In his opinion, the appearance of evil cultivation was far more severe than internal conflict.

  He finally calmed down, his mind racing with thoughts: although he had encountered a beast with a faint aura of evil before, it was not unusual for those who frequently killed to carry some evil energy on their bodies. But now, this vast and intense aura of evil enveloped everything, filled with malicious intentions that only an evil cultivator could achieve. Could it be that this situation was caused by an evil cultivator?! Then who had led the crowd into this trap...

  Wang Fumeng's raised eyes, carrying a mighty and furious intent, his gaze almost cutting Cao Taotao into pieces, "Cao Taotao! You actually colluded with the evil cultivators, harming my righteous path cultivator!"

  Cao Taotao was also startled, muttering in a daze, "Impossible! Impossible! This formation was only set up to seal the divine artifact here! What went wrong?!"

  Wang Fu frowned, looking at Cao Taotao who suddenly became enchanted, guessing whether he was telling a lie.

  Her face was as white as a sheet, like a fish out of water about to die, and she struggled to get the words out: "Could it be... could he be deceiving me?!"

  With a sudden movement, his pupils contracted instantly, and he didn't even care about Wang Fu, hastily retreating into a nearby cave. Wang Fu also felt that something was fishy, and did not rashly intercept him, but instead followed behind, wanting to investigate the cause.

  At the source of the evil energy release, the seal on the stone platform had been opened by the remaining wind. The ominous and murderous intent swirled and gathered inside the cave. Listening carefully, one could hear various mournful cries from the war drum, filled with sorrow, despair, hatred, and killing intent. Even Xiang Yao, who had experienced the Devil's Array baptism, felt oppressed by this massive amount of negative emotions, and couldn't help but feel a hint of disgust.

  What's with this drum?!

  Just as he was thinking, Yu Feng raised the drumstick beside him and burst out laughing: "Haha! Today, let you try the power of my Mo Ling Jie sacred instrument, 'Chaos Magic Drum'!"

  As soon as the words were spoken, the drumbeat sounded!

  Bang!

  The first sound, the heavy tone pierced the ear, reverberated off the walls, a mournful cry, hatred and resentment all transformed into murderous intent that charged straight at Xiao Yao's sea of consciousness, in an instant, like a fierce tide it surrounded and blocked his thoughts.

  "Bang!"

  The second sound, the wind howled, all the trees and grass were like soldiers, Xiao Yao only felt that there were countless people standing in front of her, with eyes full of resentment and murderous intent, scanning her body repeatedly. The shouting shook the sky, all for one word: Kill! Suddenly she felt dizzy, her blood boiling over, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from her throat.

  "Bang!"

  The third sound rose, but it was somewhat lacking in momentum. However, the power of the first two sounds was still present, and Xiaoyao's mind was turbulent. The black energy was like countless giant mouths swallowing her thoughts, and the regrets and guilt that had been buried deep within her heart reappeared one by one. She saw her mother's lifeless body wrapped in a straw mat when she died; she saw Ah Po lying in bed with white hair but no one by her side; she also saw Ah Xun sitting alone in the bamboo house, waiting day and night, his back lonely and desolate. These were all the pains that she could not forget, and they were the price she paid for constantly climbing the immortal path, unforgettable, always bearing them on her back.

  Xiao Yao's eyes gradually became dull and the "Gui" attack also slowed down until it stopped falling.

  Looking at Yu Feng again, although his face was pale and there were faint bloodstains on the corners of his lips, he let out a heavy sigh. This "Chaotic Demon Drum" is a magical treasure that attacks people's minds with evil energy. As long as there is a slight fluctuation in one's heart, it will not escape its attack. It is said that if a senior from the Magic Spirit Realm used this drum to strike once, it would destroy the spiritual consciousness of tens of thousands of cultivators, instantly killing them. Unfortunately, his cultivation was too far off, and he couldn't fully exert the power of this treasure. After just three beats, his vitality was already exhausted, and his spiritual consciousness could no longer withstand it. However, this woman should be even more miserable. Her spiritual consciousness and mind were probably shattered by the demon drum. Being able to defeat a strong enemy made all the effort worthwhile.

  With a self-satisfied expression, he raised his sword and said to Xiao Yao, who seemed to have lost her soul: "Hmph, this is the consequence of not listening to me. Unfortunately, you won't have another life to regret it."

  Just as the red knife was about to fall, a slender arm suddenly appeared in front of it, grasping the blade firmly in its palm. As they watched, Yin Hong's blood slowly dripped down the length of the knife, and Yu Feng was so shocked that he forgot to attack, exclaiming: "How is this possible?!"

  At this time, the influence of Sha Qi had not yet dissipated. Xiao Yao's eyes were bloodshot and filled with pain, tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes. Her voice was hoarse, "Want me to die? Not that easy."

  Next, she didn't give Yu Feng a chance to regain his composure, disregarding the pain in her mind, and urged the evil spirits to rush out of the hot lava below and slash down fiercely.

  Yu Feng, who had also experienced many battles, reflexively made a judgment when the crisis arose. He immediately retreated one step, threw Kun Wu out, and leaned towards the magic drum. With one hand holding the drumstick and the other holding the yuan crystal to quickly replenish his yuan force, he prepared to strike the drum again.

  Similarly, Xiao Yao wouldn't dare to eat a second time. With swift hand seals, he exerted his yuan power to the maximum! The poured-out yuan power condensed into a gigantic broadsword that slashed down diagonally from Yu Feng's left shoulder.

  Yu Feng hastily activated his Yuanxiao shield to protect himself, and the drumstick in his hand was about to strike the drumhead. However, Xiao Yao's Yuanli was even faster, and one-third of her body's Xianqi had already been converted into Yuanli, which far exceeded what a Blue-Purple Symbol Master could withstand with their "Duoliang".

  In an instant, the broadsword tore through Yu Feng's protective light barrier, and a thin blade pierced through to the bottom. A baby emitting black gas suddenly appeared and escaped at extreme speed. However, this cave was a sealed space, and the small Yuan Ying had nowhere to escape. In just two or three moves, Xiao Yao caught it in her hand.

  It was also at this time that the seal at the entrance of the cave was broken. As soon as Zidong and his two companions entered the cave, they saw a residual shadow left by a giant broadsword condensed from yuanli slowly disappearing into Yufeng's body. After the shadow disappeared, his physical body broke in half and fell onto the rolling lava below, turning into ashes.

  Three people raised their eyes, and in the midst of the eerie atmosphere, Xiao Yao stood alone in mid-air. Her eyes were bloodshot as if she was craving blood, her cheeks had tear stains that hadn't dried yet, and her body was covered with splattered blood, a shocking sight to behold.

  Today I shrunk, fortunately it wasn't a man.
