The swirling steam evaporated from above Xie Xuanyi's head.

The Path of Yin Erosion had already severely ravaged his lungs, but they were quickly healing and regenerating.

This scene made Cui Zhen's pupils constrict, his face full of disbelief.

"You also have the Undying Spring..."

The beautifully androgynous Great Demon stared fixedly at the nearby black-clothed Sword Cultivator, his voice raspy: "Even Zhao Chunyang is willing to give you such a 'Divine Artifact'?!"

In his view, the presence of the Undying Spring on Xie Xuanyi had only one possibility.

It was Zhao Chunyang's voluntary gift!

Cui Zhen instinctively glanced at the nearby Sword Palace Mountain Gate behind him.

The conduct of the Da Sui Sword Cultivator was something he truly couldn't understand.

In the realm of the Demon Country, no one who had acquired the Undying Spring would easily reveal it, much less give it away.

Zhao Chunyang, this old fellow, should be running out of time... Would he really give up his life just to give this Undying Spring to his disciple?

This so-called inheritance, is it really that important?

"..."

Xie Xuanyi couldn't be bothered to explain anything to Cui Zhen's probing.

He knew what this Great Demon in the Demon Country was thinking.

Rumble!

Xie Xuanyi directly activated the Undying Spring, dispersing the Yin Erosion Qi with abundant life-force, while simultaneously activating Chen Ke, unleashing more of the Annihilation Dao Realm!

When it came to 'exhausting life', he feared no one!

"Ah..."

The flying sword pierced through his palm, continued burrowing deeper, prompting Cui Zhen to let out a pained low groan, his hair disordered, a shadow of darkness crossing his eyes.

Separated by several dozen feet, each endured the intense pain... this battle had reached a point where both sides were nearly out of their last cards.

Cui Zhen had the Yin Erosion Dao Sword, while Xie Xuanyi had the Annihilation Sword Qi.

Continuing to fight.

It merely depended on who had more of the 'Undying Spring'!

Xie Xuanyi silently endured the intense pain, his expression gradually calming.

He did not mind continuing the endurance... as long as the injuries he sustained were not too severe, the Undying Spring Eye within him would continuously produce steam.

On the other side.

Cui Zhen's expression had visibly changed.

He maintained the thought of holding out for a wave and confronted the Annihilation Sword Qi for almost a hundred breaths. By the time the initial drop he activated had nearly evaporated, Xie Xuanyi still showed no sign of weakness... this guy clearly intended to continue this 'mutual torment' endurance battle.

If he continued to endure, he would need to summon the second drop of Undying Spring!

"Seems like you have a lot of Undying Spring... do you really intend to use it all here?"

Cui Zhen sneered, speaking in a mocking tone.

"Since you've come to fight me to the death, I'm here to accompany you to the end."

Xie Xuanyi responded expressionlessly.

While he resisted the Yin Erosion Magic Sword with the Undying Spring, he quietly observed the Yin Erosion Waterfall above, preparing to activate the Swallowing Dao Scroll.

If he could unravel Cui Zhen's Yin Erosion Dao Intent with the Primordial Swallowing Divine Power, breaking free from this cage composed of the Magic Sword Waterfall.

Then he could usher in an opportunity for a counterattack...

But once the divine power was activated, the opponent would undoubtedly be aware.

Xie Xuanyi knew he had only one chance to strike.

An opportunity not to be missed, time will not wait.

"...Heh."

On the other side, the black-majestically-haired Great Demon silently bowed his head, hesitated a moment, then finally made a decision.

Cui Zhen abruptly raised his hand and flung out the feather fan from his sleeve.

The feather fan transformed into a streak of jet-black lightning, shooting toward the waterfall. Xie Xuanyi reacted almost instantly, lightly stomping his foot, unleashing a strand of thick Sword Qi, attempting to intercept it mid-air, just as the two strands of powerful energy were about to collide, the feather fan suddenly opened—

This jet-black feather fan, crafted from the feather fragments of some unknown demonic bird creature, contained eighteen plumes.

Upon close examination.

Each plume came from different Great Demons!

But someone had used a secret technique to engrave array patterns on them, enveloping the eighteen plumes in a continuous layer of ink stains.

Whish, whish, whish!

When the feather fan opened wide, it did not collide with the Sword Qi but transformed into eighteen streams of black light, sweeping toward the four corners of the Yin Erosion Waterfall.

The eighteen streams of light, layered clearly, with different heights, transformed into eighteen divine shadow figures of Great Demons.

"Another top-level Treasure..."

Witnessing this, Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly.

With the appearance of these eighteen shadow figures, the pressure of the entire Yin Erosion Waterfall drastically increased!

The demon patterns on this feather fan were undoubtedly the work of a Peak Yang God Realm Great Demon.

Is this also an artifact from Mo Zhen's previous life?

Accompanied by the alignment of feather plumes on the fan, the arcane sounds of indistinct muttering reverberated around Xie Xuanyi.

One shadow after another arranged formation and seals, chanting lowly, starting to form an array.

Xie Xuanyi had studied some demon text in the Daoist Collection at Lotus Peak before.

But the array words chanted by these Great Demons, he could not comprehend a single word.

Faintly, there seemed to be sounds of dragon roars and phoenix songs mixed in—

The Yin Erosion Waterfall, which had been balanced against Burning Flower, started gaining the upper hand with the Great Array's support.

Threads of Yin Erosion Powerful Energy seeped into Xie Xuanyi's bone marrow.

"Ugh..."

Xie Xuanyi groaned softly.

Even with the support of the Undying Spring, his flesh was still being forcibly 'deprived'.

He lowered his head to look at his hands, only to see the previously full-of-flesh hands revert back into bone, sprout flesh momentarily, then be stripped again.

This cycle repeated.

This abnormality was truly horrifying.

If it weren't for the support from the Undying Spring, it was hard to imagine what the outcome would be.

The demon array placed by Cui Zhen alone... in terms of killing power, it far exceeded the 'Azure Sea Subduing God' of Chao Yin Pavilion!

However... this was not the true killing move.

Where the flying sword was nailed to the mountain wall.

Cui Zhen gazed at the golden flying sword that continuously resonated with Killing Intent, smilingly said: "…This trip south was indeed worthwhile."

After the turmoil in Qing State, the Demon Country's espionage network was shattered, knowing little about the Da Chu Dynasty.

If it weren't for personal experience.

Cui Zhen would never believe that someone in this realm could compete with him evenly at the same level.

This battle.

For both sides, it holds extremely important and far-reaching significance.

Rustle!

A strong wind blew through.

Cui Zhen's long hair was blown by the wind, revealing his narrow eyes.

This beautifully imposing Great Demon, despite smiling at the moment, had a gaze filled with coldness.

"Xie Xuanyi!"

Cui Zhen took a deep breath, transmitted speech: "I'll await you in the Demon Country!"

This statement was actually only half spoken.

The second half was pressed within Cui Zhen's Heart Lake and was not transmitted.

"If... you still live!"

As the transmitted speech resonated.

Eighteen shadow figures collectively raised their hands, forming seals, and the Yin Erosion Waterfall abruptly halted its flow.

Buzz!

The moment of halted flow, the Yin Erosion Waterfall erupted with an extremely terrifying pressure.

Xie Xuanyi instinctively looked up.

Only to see at the waterfall's summit, the eighteen shadow figures twisted, merging into one, manifesting as a black narrow slit pupil.

Xie Xuanyi locked eyes with the pupil.

Within the range enveloped by the waterfall, everything seemed to be swallowed by blackness.

Witnessing this, backed against the fragmented mountain wall, Cui Zhen's heart calmed significantly.

This beautiful Great Demon lifted his palm, without hesitation, slashed down on his own arm.

Simultaneously, Cui Zhen fell backward.

Behind him, a black Mo Sect silently merged open, and Cui Zhen, abandoning the arm pierced by Chen Ke, fell backward into Mo Sect, disappearing from view.
