  ……

  "Hmmph!"

  A Benming Gui Nu was torn, a kind of pain that seemed to be carved out by someone's sharp claws on the heart, unbearable for ordinary people. Even Lei Dong, who had an unyielding will, let out a loud roar in agony. After losing his dark and sinister powers, he knew that if he didn't fight with all his might today, he would likely die here. Almost subconsciously, he swallowed three more Guiyuan Dan pills.

  "Junior brother~"

  Ding Wanyan, who had just finished fighting, arrived in front of the third ring and happened to see this scene. Her originally cold face suddenly lost color, and her fingers trembled slightly, unable to be suppressed.

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble."

  Three loud explosions occurred almost simultaneously. A powerful energy, mixed with a large amount of sharp and piercing aura, surged outward in waves.

  Yin evil thunder, the explosive power is not the largest among the various evil thunders, but it is notorious for its sinister and vicious nature. However, even so, for a cultivator in the refining period, that kind of explosive power is already difficult to resist. In an instant, one grain can take a life. Three grains falling together, even someone like Dongfang Xianyun wouldn't dare to face head-on.

  However, the Ba Li Yun who was in the midst of demonizing, stubbornly blocked it. Relying solely on his left arm, he withstood the simultaneous explosion of three thunders. Of course, a consumptive treasure like the Yin Ye Lei wasn't something to be taken lightly either.

  Only to see that the hundred-mile cloud had a strong and sturdy black arm, as if it had been cut by thousands of knives, large pieces of muscle were torn apart, revealing the white bones inside. The dark red blood also splashed everywhere.

  The Baili Yun, who suffered this blow, had his face twisted and ferocious, and the pair of eyes that were changing color seemed to be burning with a fierce flame, as if they wanted to swallow Leidong and turn him into ashes.

  "Rage, I want to drink your blood and eat your flesh. Hsssss~"

  As Baili Yun let out a cold laugh, he casually used his demonic arm to swat away the Dark Shadow Ghost Soldier that had just stabbed him in the back. Perhaps due to his demonic arm suffering heavy damage, the speed of his body's demonization slowed down significantly.

  "Something that doesn't look like a human or a ghost. Brother is waiting for you to eat."

  After the instantaneous explosion of pain, although there was still unbearable agony, he could control it and didn't need to shout to alleviate his suffering. Suppressing the intense tearing pain, Leidong's eyes alternated between icy coldness as he spoke in a low, sinking voice.

  Sweat dripped down his face like a knife, his muscles trembling slightly. But his expression was resolute. He arched his body, like a wounded beast that had been thoroughly enraged, the five Return to Origin Pills he had just swallowed were taking effect with intense ferocity. Like clusters of fierce flames, they blazed within his body, burning along his meridians and scorching every corner of his being in an instant.

  "Is this Guī Yuán Dān, a precious medicine that can quickly recover one's true energy in battle, really something with mild medicinal properties?"

  Blood is boiling.

  Exhausted strength is recovering at an extremely fast rate.

  The two of them didn't want to give each other any chance to catch their breath, and their figures floated separately. Compared to the beginning, it seemed like they had sped up a lot. However, as Baili Yun half-demonized, his movements became more powerful and fierce, and every time he jumped in mid-air, it was as fast as lightning. Although he was fast, his movements lacked the elegance of Ghost Shadow Shift. As for Lei Dong, perhaps due to the stimulation of the five Return to Origin Pills, he felt an endless surge of power coming from within. His own body seemed to have entered a strange state, with fresh blood boiling and his meridians burning like wildfire.

  However, his mind was exceptionally clear, and he could even feel the changes in air currents caused by various environmental factors. Every time he floated and drifted, he almost perfectly matched the gentle breeze, drifting unpredictably, cunningly and intangibly. Each time, he would always manage to drift away at an unpredictable angle when the Hundred Mile Cloud rushed over, and at the same time, the top-grade Phantom Fire Sword would take advantage of the opportunity to leave a bloody mark on the Half-Demonized body of the Hundred Mile Cloud.

  The only pity is that, for some reason, the ghost fire that was extremely effective in burning souls seemed to have no effect on him. It stuck to his body, burned for a couple of moments, and then went out instantly. The remaining two tenth-level ghost soldiers were also desperately trying to intercept or snipe at Bailing Yun, leaving a glimmer of hope for Leidong. The fierce ghosts in the Wan Gui banner had also gathered together, forming an obstacle for Bailing Yun's pursuit of Leidong, and they desperately surrounded him, biting and tearing at him like locusts, even if they were shattered by the black air exploding from Bailing Yun's demonic body, they still kept coming, as long as they could scratch him once.

  Those golden elixir old ancestors on the viewing platform, almost everyone focused their attention on this arena, although it is said that the competition between the two Qi-refining disciples should not be in their eyes. But for some reason, this battle was so exciting to them. Perhaps it was because the suspense of the two men's decisive battle was repeated, and the fierce fighting was extremely cruel, or perhaps it was because this was a life-and-death struggle that involved heavy betting.

  One by one, it's actually quite enjoyable to watch, and I'm a bit regretful that I didn't participate in the gamble.

  The new disciples below, some of whom could no longer bear to watch this cruel battle, were forced by the black-robed men to keep their eyes wide open. Especially the little girls, who all stood on Lei Dong's side psychologically. After all, Lei Dong was at a disadvantage and his opponent didn't look human at all. On the other hand, Lei Dong's proud fighting spirit in the face of adversity was very impressive. Each of them clenched their small fists as if they wanted to cheer him on.

  "Lei Dong must win, Shixiong must win."

  Lai Chao, who had just lost a game and returned, saw Lei Dong struggling so hard that he was on the verge of collapse. With a mix of tension and excitement, Lai Chao immediately waved his hands wildly and cheered loudly, as if trying to transfer his own strength to Lei Dong.

  Others who stood on Lei Dong's side also shouted out after a brief pause.

  The sound grew louder and the shouting voices more unified. Soon, the accumulated thunderous momentum had formed into waves of surging tides, shaking the air as if it were about to ignite.

  ……

  "Hmph." The increasingly loud cheers and applause, naturally reached the ears of those old ancestors on the viewing platform. However, some people's hearts felt like they had a thorn stuck in them, their faces darkening as they let out a cold snort. In their hearts, they were also secretly cursing Bai Li Yun for being useless, having already half-demonized and still unable to subdue Lei Dong.

  "Ah, the hearts of men are indeed moved." Yanmo burst into a fit of giggles: "I didn't expect this Lei kid to have such low cultivation, but when it comes to fighting and risking his life, he's quite manly. He's much better than that neither-human-nor-demon disciple of yours."

  "Yanmo, you're so old, stop messing around." Ku Gu's heart was very unhappy, thinking that Baili Yun's left arm would turn the tide of battle and kill Lei Dong. But unexpectedly, the battle fell into a stalemate, and Lei's dark and sinister moves were endless. Fortunately, he could only barely cope with the help of the Huanyuan Dan stimulating him to perform beyond his normal level, but once the effect wore off, let's see how he would withstand Baili Yun.

  "Even if I am, it's none of your business." Yanmo snorted coldly and said with disdain: "Even if I am again, it won't fall on your head."

  ……

  Not mentioning the old ancestor's quarrel, even Leidong knew that if this continued, they would exhaust themselves to death. The timing seemed almost ripe. With a flick of his body, Leidong drifted into the dense swarm of Baigui, blocking human sight and some divine senses. His hand slightly raised, as if nothing had happened.

  Baili Yun Xingzi was also being ground into an increasingly fierce state, disregarding the hundred ghosts entwining his body, he bellowed and charged forward. A faint layer of demonic energy wafted around him, like a sharp blade, strangling the ferocious ghosts that came at him in waves.

  "Get lost, you're dead."

  The demonic claw heavily thrust forward, bursting open the Thunder Movement's Xuan Yin shield with a loud "poof" sound, and directly pierced through the Thunder Movement's Floating Present Guardian Spirit Shield. After breaking through two major defenses, the momentum was about to be blocked, but his arm suddenly swelled up in an eerie manner, and he grabbed at the Thunder Movement's heart with a claw.

  Hiss...

  The lightning flashed as if it was an unexpected attack that couldn't be dodged.

  When the hundred-mile cloud saw the thunder move, his face was shocked and inexplicable. A refreshing feeling rose in his heart, and his face became even more ferocious and frightening. However, just as that comfortable feeling emerged, the demon's claw pierced his heart, but there was a hindrance, not too strong, but just enough to block his momentum. The power of the demon's claw had already been exhausted, so it only entered his body by half an inch before completely stopping.

  What made Baili Yun feel even more ominous was that Lei Dong's face changed, and he suddenly showed him a sly smile.
