Darkness descended, rendering everything invisible.
Chen Changsheng promptly cast a defensive spell, throwing out several talismans to protect his body. He couldn't see a single glimmer of light, only endless dark nothingness.
"It's not that the surroundings have turned dark, but that my vision has been taken away?"
Chen Changsheng waved his hand in front of his eyes, unable to see even a blurry shadow. It was clear that it wasn't as simple as darkness.
Even his outward-extending divine sense was blocked by the darkness, its detection range compressed to only ten meters.
Hearing rustling sounds, Chen Changsheng immediately called out, "Miaomiao, what's the situation on your side?"
"Master, I'm fine. That person ran towards the northwest!"
Miaomiao rushed into his divine sense range, her delicate body throwing herself onto his back, reaching out to touch his eyes. "Master, there's a layer of mist like black cloth over your eyes. I can't wipe it away!"
"It seems I've been hit by the other party's evil art! He was hiding it well."
Chen Changsheng thought to himself.
Fortunately, Miaomiao listened to him and didn't join the battle. Otherwise, if both master and disciple were hit by the other party's evil art, Huo Lai would really have a chance.
"Guide me. I can't see now, and my divine sense can only detect ten meters."
Chen Changsheng stepped on the Ninefold Yellow Springs Sword, his figure transforming into a stream of light, quickly catching up to Huo Lai under Miaomiao's guidance.
A burst of melodic sound waves transformed into countless sword shadows, sweeping in from all directions.
Huo Lai kept his eyes tightly shut the entire time, his figure leaping and jumping through the mountain forest like a nimble monkey, skillfully dodging Miaomiao's musical Dao techniques.
Miaomiao, in the Qi Refining stage, lacked the support of a stage magic weapon, making it too difficult to injure a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Don't waste your true energy. Just guide me. Be careful of that invisible evil art of his," Chen Changsheng reminded her.
"Master, that person has been keeping his eyes closed the whole time. Perhaps if you could make him open his eyes, you would be able to see again."
The reason she attacked was to try and make the other party open his eyes, but unfortunately, her strength was too weak to create an opportunity for her master.
"He's keeping his eyes closed? Could it be a sensory synchronization technique?" Chen Changsheng had a rough guess in his mind. The condition for activating the other party's evil art might be to make eye contact.
The two chased and fled, like two long rainbows chasing each other, piercing through the dense forest.
Huo Lai was extremely familiar with the terrain, swiftly shuttling through tree holes and mountain caves. While fleeing, he didn't forget to throw Dao techniques behind him at Chen Changsheng, in order to slow him down.
As the two continued to delve deeper into the mountain forest, Chen Changsheng and Miaomiao sensed a dense demonic aura permeating the air. The other party seemed to want to use the demon beasts to create trouble for him, in order to escape.
"You still dare to chase after me. Are you really not afraid of death?" Huo Lai mocked with a sinister smile.
"Why bother? Within the territory of Taiping City, no evil can cause any trouble. Your escape is just wasting both our time. The demon hiding here can't save your life."
Chen Changsheng swept his battle halberd across, powerfully destroying the incoming Dao techniques. His pursuit speed increased instead of decreasing, his blood and true energy bursting forth wantonly, with no intention of concealing his presence.
He really wasn't afraid of attracting the attention of demons!
Huo Lai thought to himself that things were bad. He gritted his teeth and rushed straight into an underground cave, where the concentration of demonic energy was ten times higher than outside.
Clearly, this underground cave was the hiding place of the demon!
Chen Changsheng and Miaomiao didn't hesitate to chase in, and a foul stench assaulted their nostrils.
Huo Lai was heavily injured and had little true energy remaining, and the effects of the evil art were gradually dissipating.
Rumble!
The Great Wilderness Suppressing Sky Halberd swept out powerfully, and the dense halberd light transformed into crescent moons, striking the walls and membranes of the underground cave, causing violent tremors.
Several of the halberd lights struck Huo Lai. He cursed like a madman and continued to flee with his blood-reddened body. The wounds on his body gradually increased, and his face became increasingly pale, his skin rapidly aging and shriveling.
Helpless, he had no choice but to open his eyes and cancel the shared-eye evil art.
Chen Changsheng grinned, his flying speed suddenly soaring.
Boom!
The halberd light swept out in a crescent shape, and the rock layers within hundreds of meters exploded at the same time! Accompanied by Huo Lai's shrill screams, both of his lower legs were directly severed by the halberd light.
"Give up. I'll give you a quick death. Don't practice evil arts to harm the world again in your next life," Chen Changsheng said indifferently.
He had no intention of torturing the other party. It was just that the other party insisted on struggling to escape and even tried to attract demons to help, which caused such a tragic scene.
Huo Lai roared, covered in blood, "Put away that disgusting face of yours. I just don't want to die, and besides, you're already in danger yourself! If we're going to die, we'll die together!!"
Swish!
Huo Lai split open a membrane with his sword, and a massive amount of dark green liquid suddenly poured out, like a flood bursting its banks. The liquid was also mixed with countless brown pupae and milky white eggs.
The smell of the liquid was nauseating, and the scene of dense eggs and pupae caused psychological discomfort.
Clang ~
A musical note transformed into an invisible wall, blocking the dark green flood. Miaomiao endured her disgust and used her musical Dao techniques to create a passage for her master.
Chen Changsheng moved his body, creating afterimages of Lingbo.
In an instant, he arrived in front of Huo Lai. The Great Wilderness Suppressing Sky Halberd powerfully chopped down, cutting down from the top of Huo Lai's head, splitting his body in two, and blood splattered!
"Master, he's hiding in his storage ring!" Miaomiao suddenly reminded him.
A Soul Suppressing Talisman flew out from Chen Changsheng's hand, directly enveloping the storage ring.
"Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!! Let me go! Please, let me go!!"
A heart-wrenching scream came from within the Soul Suppressing Talisman.
Huo Lai妄想着利用幻阵骗过陈长生，然后寄存储物戒内，等到未来的某一天夺舍重生，却不料他骗过了陈长生，却骗不过妙妙的双眼.
Huo Lai's soul gradually disappeared in the shrill screams.
Chen Changsheng, having successfully killed Huo Lai, didn't relax his vigilance. Two golden-red halos appeared on his wrists, and the power of the Divine Elephant suddenly erupted.
Buzz—
The sound of rapidly flapping wings echoed within the underground cave. A large group of huge, mountain-like human-headed flies came flying, their faces showing angry expressions, constantly shouting, "My children! My children! My children!"
The eggs and pupae soaked in the dark green flood were the larvae of the flies!
They were so dense that they made one's scalp tingle.
Chen Changsheng and Miaomiao realized that the underground cave they had broken into was a fly demon nest!
The incoming swarm of fly demons, the weakest of which were at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and the strongest of which had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, was even more numerous than could be imagined.
