277: All those who care about me are dead now

The twisted barrier was like a giant cover, enveloping a certain area.

Inside the cover, blood stained the ground, and a strong bloody Qi permeated the air.

The remaining Demonic Beasts and people gathered together.

Their gazes converged, filled with apprehension and despair, as they stared ahead.

A man in black held a black flame in his hand.

Within the firelight, the outline of a body could vaguely be seen, being melted by the high temperature.

At this moment, a phantom figure drifted out from the body.

The man pointed a finger, and the black flame covered and enveloped the phantom figure.

“Don't worry, ten days is enough to refine all of you.”

The man glanced at the crowd, which had quieted down from their earlier commotion, and gave a cold smile.

“You killed us, aren't you afraid of the Pill Tower's reprisal?”

Cao Ying's beautiful eyes stared at him.

The man scoffed, “Heh heh, you will all die, so how would the Pill Tower know?”

Spatial fluctuations rippled around his body, continuously creating distortions.

Everyone fell silent.

Facing a prepared Dou Zun, their resistance seemed extremely laughable and childish.

The spatial stone originally provided by the Pill Tower had a teleportation function, allowing people to be transported out of the Dan Realm to safety in times of danger.

However, this area had already been arranged by the opponent in advance. Crushing the spatial stone now would only result in him interrupting it, and then being crushed into meat paste.

This scene had already happened before.

“Song Qing, I have a way to Breakthrough this Soul barrier, but it will take some time. You help me cover it up.”

Cao Ying bit her silver teeth, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes, and whispered to the young man beside her.

“Really? Ying'er, why didn't you say so before?”

Song Qing exclaimed, a look of joy flashing across his face. If they could Breakthrough this barrier, they would still have a chance to survive.

“Is it still useful to say these things now?”

Cao Ying glanced at him.

The barrier was the opponent's means of controlling them. If she had used her method earlier, these people would probably only dodge attacks.

But at this moment, everyone was already facing a life-or-death crisis and knew that if they didn't resolve the barrier, it would be a dead end.

At this time, only if she acted would someone help block the opponent.

“Yes, yes, hurry and act, I'll help you cover it.”

Song Qing quickly said.

Cao Ying's hair danced, and a surge of Soul Power erupted from between her brows.

In the distance, the man in black seemed to sense something, and his gaze shot over like an arrow.

“Stop him!”

Cao Ying said to Song Qing in front of her.

Song Qing didn't answer. He met the man in black's gaze, seemingly under immense pressure, as large beads of sweat appeared and continuously rolled down his cheeks.

“You seem impatient, so I'll let you go first.”

The man in black's mouth curved into a cruel smile, and he raised his hand to grab at Song Qing.

The Void Realm in front of Song Qing twisted.

“Everyone, attack together, otherwise none of us will survive!”

Song Qing shouted, his Dou Qi erupting as he blasted towards the Void Realm in front of him.

Seeing this, the others also exerted their strength.

The man in black's attack was shattered by their combined efforts. He didn't feel panicked, but instead showed a playful look, “You know nothing about the power of a Dou Zun.”

As he spoke, he had a thought, and this Void Realm seemed to contract, continuously compressing.

As space was continuously squeezed, everyone's Dou Qi had little effect.

“It's broken!”

Just then, Cao Ying's delicate shout suddenly rang out.

Everyone vaguely heard a faint cracking sound, and then the spatial pressure squeezing them suddenly disappeared.

“Run!”

Someone shouted.

But even before he spoke, someone had already rushed out.

Cao Ying took the lead, she couldn't fall into the opponent's Formation again, her method couldn't be used again in a short time.

“You dead woman, how dare you ruin my plans!”

The man in black was stunned when he saw the barrier broken, then his face showed anger.

He appeared beside Cao Ying as if teleporting, and slammed out a palm.

Boom!

Cao Ying's figure shot back dozens of meters. After stabilizing herself with effort, blood spurted from her mouth.

“Help me!”

Just then, Cao Ying saw Song Qing pass by her.

However.

As if he hadn't heard her voice, Song Qing didn't even turn his head, looking straight ahead as he rushed past.

“You saved him, but he doesn't seem to appreciate it. But don't worry, none of them will escape.”

The man in black's figure reappeared in front of Cao Ying, his tone chilling, devoid of any emotion.

Cao Ying closed her eyes in despair.

Facing a Dou Zun, she truly didn't know where she could find a glimmer of hope.

Just as she prepared to die in the Dan Realm, the expected attack did not fall.

Her body was pushed by a powerful gust of wind. Cao Ying hurriedly opened her eyes, startled to find the man in black being sent flying by a figure.

“Thank you.”

Looking at the suddenly appearing brawny man, Cao Ying's red lips slightly parted.

However, the brawny man ignored her.

“Who dares to ruin this Old Man's business?”

A furious roar came from the deep pit in the ground, and the man in black immediately rushed out from within.

Aside from some dust on his body, he seemed to have suffered no harm.

“Old Mu Gu?”

A voice came from beside him.

The man in black's eyes froze, then he looked over.

He saw a young man standing in the Void Realm, with a little purple-haired head resting on his shoulder.

“Lin Xiu? You're in the Dan Realm? I thought you didn't even pass the first stage.”

Old Mu Gu recognized the young man's face, and his eyes immediately showed excitement, “I've been looking for you. In the Pill Domain, with those old guys watching, it's not easy to act, but this Dan Realm doesn't have so many concerns.”

“Indeed, Xiao Yan didn't lie to me.”

Lin Xiu muttered, then a murderous intent appeared in his eyes, “Everyone who coveted me is dead now, and you are no exception.”

Old Mu Gu laughed loudly, contemptuously glancing at Xiong Zhan, “Is your confidence derived from him? Then this Old Man can only tell you one thing, you're walking into a trap!”

Xiong Zhan flashed to Lin Xiu's side, his peripheral vision locked on Old Mu Gu, and he whispered, “Brother Lin, this guy's Qi is profound. I'm afraid I really can't beat him. You'd best take Little Auntie and leave first.”

“Don't be afraid, I'll find a way to help you.”

Lin Xiu didn't like the feeling of being coveted, especially when the other party was a Dou Zun.

Xiong Zhan froze for a moment.

Brother, that's a Dou Zun. I'm not even confident, how can you, a Nine-star Dou Zong, say that so calmly?

Shouldn't you be the one who's scared?

“Trust Lin Xiu.”

Zi Yan rested her chin on Lin Xiu's shoulder, her purple-glowing eyes staring at Xiong Zhan.

In those eyes, there seemed to be immense pressure.

Xiong Zhan gave a wry smile, “Brother Lin, today I, Old Xiong, am putting my life in your hands.”

“You'll be fine.”

Lin Xiu said seriously.

“I'd like to see how you deal with it. Let me deal with this stupid bear first, then I'll slowly play with you.”

Old Mu Gu smiled sinisterly, flicked his sleeve, and a giant crystal hand appeared out of thin air. In a flash, it arrived above the three of them.

“Be careful!”

Xiong Zhan first pushed Lin Xiu away, then swung his fist to clash with the giant hand.

The giant hand carried terrifying force. Upon reckless contact, most of Xiong Zhan's body was slammed into the ground.

Lin Xiu didn't watch the battle here, but instead went directly to Cao Ying's side.

“How are you?”

Lin Xiu asked.

Cao Ying nodded subconsciously, a little surprised, “When did you come in? Why didn't I see you at the entrance?”

“That's not important.”

Lin Xiu didn't want to waste time on this and went straight to the point, “Do you know a Soul Palm Imprint move? Teach me that move!”
