Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet looked incredulously at the sword tip aimed straight at his brow, his face filled with astonishment and disbelief. He asked, "How did you discover me?"
Zhang Xingzhu sneered and said, "Li Chengfeng, I admit you are cunning and your methods are much stronger than other Demonic Path cultivators.
But your bad luck lies in meeting me; today is destined to be your death day."
Hearing this, a trace of unwillingness and despair flashed in Li Chengfeng's eyes.
He knew that he could no longer escape Zhang Xingzhu's pursuit.
However, in the last moment of his life, he still wanted to struggle.
He took a deep breath, preparing to use his last resort...…
Witnessing Li Chengfeng's resolute posture, Zhang Xingzhu's sword energy became fierce, and he launched an attack without mercy.
Xu Huixin clenched her fists and shouted loudly, "Senior Brother is invincible!"
With a loud "bang," Li Chengfeng was instantly shattered by the sword energy. As his body collapsed, a bloody shadow suddenly erupted from within, displaying a deep blood wheel like a replica.
This sudden change was too unexpected for Zhang Xingzhu; he didn't even have time to react.
In his eyes, Li Chengfeng was already at the end of his rope, certain to die.
However, the blood shadow activated within Li Chengfeng revealed his determination to sever Zhang Xingzhu's life at the cost of his own.
Zhang Xingzhu was extremely furious; he had not expected the other party to launch such a fierce attack at the cost of his life.
He dared not be negligent in the slightest, immediately using all his skills, offering a shield in front of him, and pouring a mouthful of essence blood onto it.
However, the power of that talisman was so great that the shield was torn apart in an instant. Immediately afterward, his Li Fire Arrow was also cut in two by this attack, continuing unabated and directly bombarding his protective qi.
Zhang Xingzhu spat out blood again, his body pierced by the sword energy, leaving a large hole, blood gushing out, and his aura instantly weakened.
His body flew backward under the immense impact, appearing disheveled and miserable.
Xu Huixin never dreamed that her powerful Senior Brother would also fall victim to someone else's scheme.
Just as she was about to step forward to rescue him, suddenly, nine bloody shadows danced wildly around her like ghosts, quickly wrapping chains around her limbs and neck, and ruthlessly dragging her into an unknown space.
Immediately afterward, Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet released a hazy mist, and the nine bloody shadows carried the bound Xu Huixin into the Hell Space.
Li Chengfeng's true form appeared, and with one strike, Xu Huixin's dantian was severely damaged.
She could only helplessly stare at everything. The once proud daughter of heaven was now like a kite with a broken string, collapsing to the ground.
A generation of strong individuals, an extraordinary beauty, seemed so fragile in front of Xu Huixin.
However, no matter how strong she was, she was only at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining, while Li Chengfeng had already stepped into the twelfth level of Qi Refining, his strength as powerful as a machine.
Although Zhang Xingzhu was brave, the outcome was uncertain when facing Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng knew the danger and had never revealed his true form; his only goal was the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom, and everything else was like fleeting clouds.
In this gloomy hell, a wisp of soul fire gently floated, which was the remnant soul of Zhan Wusi.
Her soul was attached to the blood energy, allowing her to protect herself and wander around.
Witnessing Li Chengfeng's actions, she secretly clicked her tongue, a mocking smile appearing on the corner of her mouth: "Xu Huixin, you have this day too! You once boasted that you could control the Demonic Path, but you never expected to fall into the hands of Fellow Daoist Li.
What a pity for your peerless beauty. Fellow Daoist Li, why don't you cultivate with her; the Yuan Qi in her body will definitely help you."
Xu Huixin was completely speechless as she witnessed this scene.
She stared at Li Chengfeng in front of her in disbelief, her heart filled with doubts: Who was the one who died? The two people's appearances and auras were almost identical, but the Li Chengfeng in front of her was even more powerful.
His aura had surpassed the Qi Refining stage and was approaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, upon closer inspection, she found that the other party was not in the Foundation Establishment stage, but had reached the peak of Qi Refining.
Regarding Zhan Wusi's suggestion, Li Chengfeng scoffed and said coldly, "Shut your mouth! You have no right to speak here. I'm not interested in that one."
With a wave of his hand, the storage bag fell into his hand.
He scanned it with his divine sense and was secretly delighted to find that it was full of treasures.
As expected of an outstanding elite disciple of the Heavenly Sea Sword Sect, there were 20,000 middle-grade spirit stones and over a hundred high-grade spirit stones, which was enough to solve his urgent needs.
However, when he saw the Nine Desires Celestial Bloom, his face instantly turned ugly.
Not only him, but Xu Huixin also looked surprised. She murmured to herself, "This is impossible… When I picked this flower, it was crystal clear, like a dream. But now, it has withered into a withered grass."
Li Chengfeng's pupils shrank, staring at Xu Huixin, and questioned, "Where exactly did you transfer it to?
If you don't tell me, do you believe I'll make you suffer?"
Zhan Wusi chimed in from the side: "That's right, our Demonic Path knows how to deal with people. Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Li, why don't you hand him over to me. Don't look down on me just because I'm just a soul; I have ways to deal with this bastard."
Zhan Wusi hated Xu Huixin to the bone. She was a dignified late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, but she died in Xu Huixin's hands. How could she not hate her? Now that her soul had fallen into Li Chengfeng's hands, her hatred for Xu Huixin had reached its peak.
If it weren't for Xu Huixin, she might have been able to cooperate with Li Chengfeng, but now she had become a prisoner.
Xu Huixin shuddered in fright and quickly defended, "I really didn't tamper with it. The Nine Desires Celestial Bloom is in the storage bag; I can swear that I will never lie on this matter."
Li Chengfeng nodded. He had been observing Xu Huixin and knew that she really had no chance to tamper with it.
Then, this meant that this flower was originally fake and had been tampered with. But who exactly was it? His mind raced, but he didn't say much, just turning his gaze to outside the space.
At this time, Zhang Xingzhu was already dying. He had been severely injured by the enemy's blow, and he was already in unbearable pain. Fortunately, Li Chengfeng had also died, so he no longer had a direct opponent. But what kind of variables would the appearance of the Demonic Path bring?
Just then, a burst of wild laughter suddenly rang out, and a yin soul suddenly rushed into Zhang Xingzhu's body.
Zhang Xingzhu's face twisted, roaring and rolling on the ground in pain. After a while, evil flames leaped in his eyes, as if he had become another person.
The power within his body suddenly erupted, reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He held the Soul-Devouring Banner magic weapon in his hand, emitting a wailing sound.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengfeng finally realized that someone had deliberately tampered with it.
The purpose of this soul body was to seize a body, and the elites of the younger generation were undoubtedly the best choice.
Zhang Xingzhu was powerful and handsome, so he naturally became his first choice.
Seeing her Senior Brother being seized, Xu Huixin shed tears.
