I listened to the Black Demon's Right Emissary's booming laughter, my expression grim.
Even in this desperate situation, I had not despaired.
My life, from beginning to end, had been fraught with peril.
If death were to be mentioned, I should have died shortly after birth.
Yet, I had stubbornly clung to life until now. I always believed that as long as I didn't give up, and held hope in my heart, I would surely see the dawn's first light.
"Demonic priest, do not be arrogant. Who lives and who dies, until the very end, who can truly tell?"
"Hahaha! Truly laughable. You are now nothing but fish on a chopping board."
Rosen spoke carelessly.
"Hmph! Then let's try!"
With killing intent in my eyes, I took out the Blood Elixir and swallowed it.
When I left, the Alliance Leader, True Master Cangsong, had made it very clear.
Using the Blood Elixir would have extremely severe consequences, even shortening one's lifespan.
But now, did I still care about shortening my lifespan?
I was a person who was already living on borrowed time. Shortened lifespan?
I could just absorb a few more ghosts to make up for it...
As soon as I consumed the Blood Elixir, Old Mo didn't say a word and also took out his Blood Elixir and swallowed it directly:
"Old Qin, today let's show this demonic priest the might of us Demon Exorcist Twin Stars."
"Hahaha! Excellent!"
I laughed heartily, glancing at my good brother.
But at this moment, Xia Qiuxi also stepped forward:
"Senior Disciple Brother, we Qingcheng disciples cannot let this demonic priest look down on us either!"
As she spoke, she also swallowed the Blood Elixir.
Wu Kehang, whose thigh was bleeding profusely, heard Xia Qiuxi speak and revealed his blood-stained teeth:
"Wu Liang Tian Zun."
Tipping his head back, he also swallowed the Blood Elixir.
Seeing the younger generation, including myself, swallow the Blood Elixir, Senior Bai Daozi's eyes glinted with cold light as he too consumed the elixir.
As soon as the Blood Elixir was swallowed, I felt a wave of heat surge through my abdomen.
My dantian constricted sharply, and my heart ached intensely.
Following that, my heartbeat began to accelerate rapidly.
The heat instantly spread throughout my entire body, and the pain in my body quickly diminished, even disappearing.
My withered dantian, at this moment, rapidly filled with spiritual energy.
Every single cell in my body became active in that instant.
Every breath I exhaled became scorching hot.
It was as if I had been injected with stimulants and adrenaline, and my entire being plunged into a state of extreme exhilaration.
"Blood Elixir!"
The Black Demon's Right Emissary, Rosen, recognized that we had consumed the Blood Elixir and showed a trace of surprise.
Instinctively, he took a few steps back.
The Blood Elixir, a Daoist medicinal pill that stimulated one's potential.
It could unleash one's latent abilities for a short period.
However, afterward, there would be extremely severe sequelae...
At this moment, Old Mo and Senior Bai Daozi were engulfed in crackling electricity.
Both of them possessed ultimate elemental affinities and were masters of lightning techniques.
They had once again returned to their peak condition.
The sequelae of Old Mo's divine techniques had vanished at this moment.
Senior Bai Daozi's injuries had also ceased to cause him any pain after taking the Blood Elixir.
Xia Qiuxi and Wu Kehang's auras exploded.
The sword qi emanating from their hands crackled, the secret Qingcheng Mountain techniques, the Golden Light True Law, were fully activated.
Even with Wu Kehang's injured leg, his mobility was no longer affected.
And I, standing in the center, also experienced a drastic change in my aura, my Dao energy vibrating.
In an instant, my cultivation reached its peak, unleashed in its entirety.
I even felt as if I had an inexhaustible supply of spiritual energy.
At this moment, the Yin and Yang dual orbs, one red and one white, revolved around me, forming a halo of energy.
The elements of gold, wood, and fire were churned together, used in full force.
The two peach wood swords on my back were drawn from their sheaths and floated above my head.
"Three attributes, rare."
Rosen sneered.
However, in the next second, my aura shifted again.
The Qiankun True Law was fully amplified, my own aura erupted once more, enhanced.
Not only that, after the enhancement, I unleashed the pure Yin and Yang energy within my dantian, the energy that had been depleted by twenty times its normal rate.
This was my strongest move, the cumulative effect of various secret arts and abilities.
At this instant, the three attributes surged, and the power of Yin and Yang enveloped the entire area.
With a "hum," it vibrated outwards in all directions.
For a moment, it caused the expressions of all the demons and spirits present to change.
The demonic and monstrous corpses let out mournful cries, showing signs of terror.
Forget the three attributes.
In the face of Yin and Yang power, no matter what attribute you possessed, what Yin Sha corpse energy, it was all inferior.
"You brat, you've actually cultivated pure Yin and Yang power? A genius, a super genius."
Rosen was utterly shocked and took a step forward.
I did not reply, merely looking at him, and drawing my sword, I charged.
"Die, all of you!"
The Yin and Yang dual orbs, along with the wood and fire flying swords, were unleashed simultaneously, slicing through the horde of corpses with a "swish, swish, swish."
I held the golden sword and, upon contact, unleashed the 'Mie' character technique.
"Heaven and Earth Without Limits, Qiankun Without Laws, Destroy!"
"Rumble!"
With a single sword strike, the ghosts and corpse monsters in front of me suffered heavy casualties.
The Yin and Yang dual orbs relentlessly pierced through the demons.
The two flying swords sliced through the horde of corpses.
Old Mo followed closely, crackling with electricity with every axe swing, each strike accompanied by a thunderous explosion.
Senior Bai Daozi leaped up, shouting:
"Lightning Thunder Fist."
With "dong, dong, dong" strikes, he continuously battered the red-clothed vengeful spirits fighting against Chen Long and others.
Wu Kehang and Xia Qiuxi also charged forth.
"Golden Light Sword Qi..."
Fierce sword qi continuously swept through the ranks of demons and spirits.
Screams of agony erupted, corpse monsters suffered heavy losses, and vengeful spirits perished.
Huang Jie, the first to consume the Blood Elixir, took out another handful of beans.
He once again employed the technique of scattering beans to create soldiers.
"Six Ding Six Jia Soldier Creation Command, within Qiankun slay all demons, create soldiers,敕!"
In an instant, the beans transformed into black smoke, then into humanoid warriors of strange and monstrous appearances.
"Kill!"
Everyone roared and charged towards the Black Demon's Right Emissary.
Although everyone fought with all their might, even risking their lives by taking the Blood Elixir.
Alas, even the strongest fists are no match for many hands, and the opponents' numbers were too great.
Furthermore, there were many powerful demonic priests.
The Black Demon's Right Emissary, Rosen, seeing us fight desperately, did not engage us directly.
Instead, he sent out those vengeful ghosts, corpse monsters, and even his subordinate demonic priests to ambush us.
We were trapped in the mountain cave, surrounded by vengeful ghosts and corpse monsters.
Even though we fought fearlessly, battling fiercely on the enemy lines.
It was still difficult to change our declining momentum.
Among the twelve demon souls, the weakest, Mao Tu, was the first to fall.
She was directly pierced through the chest by a red-clothed vengeful spirit and, without uttering a word, her soul scattered.
It was only when I heard the other eleven demon souls cry out for Mao Tu that I turned my head.
But it was too late...
However, this was just the beginning.
In less than a minute, Xu Gou, wielding twin crutches, had his head crushed by a red-clothed vengeful spirit, his soul scattered. Then followed Chou Niu, wielding a steel fork, and even the leader Zi Shu, and Shen Hou, who wielded a staff, all fell in battle.
In just three minutes, Mao Tu, Xu Gou, Chou Niu, Zi Shu, and Shen Gou, all perished.
Not only that, but Senior Bai Daozi, who had been at the forefront, was also pierced through the chest by an ice spike spat out by a corpse monster.
With a "clatter," he was pinned to the wall, spitting blood...

Regarding the updates for this book, Wusheng can only apologize to everyone once again.
The reason is as mentioned before, but I do not believe this is a poor book that needs to be canceled.
Even if this book no longer brings me any income.
I intend to finish it, even if it's only one chapter a day. That's just how stubborn I am.
