Chapter Eighteen Continue Another Step

  A dark star fell to the ground, and its vital energy dissipated.

  The stone rock circled around him three times, and he felt that his body's meridians were once again filled with a strange and wonderful energy.

  Wielding a dagger, Shi Yan's body was shrouded in a dark glow. The other three Messengers of the Underworld darted around him at high speed, dodging the attacks of the three Messengers of the Underworld and leaving behind streaks of slashes on their bodies.

  Three Darkstar envoys were all poisoned by "Bone Corroding Powder", their limbs gradually losing strength, moving slowly.

  Under the attack of Shiyan, three people stood in a triangular shape, barely holding on.

  Shi Yan's expression was indifferent, and he quickly swept away like a ghost, his dagger flashing with a burst of cold light.

  "Ahh!"

  A dark star messenger was stabbed in the back and couldn't help but let out a mournful howl, shouting: "Kill this little brat first!"

  The other two Underworld Messengers nodded in unison, no longer paying attention to Zhao Xin, Di Ya Lan and Hu Long. The three Underworld Messengers exerted their full strength to urge the essence of their souls, and suddenly three rainbow lights shot out from their palms.

  Rainbow light like a whip, actually followed their mind and moved, arrow-like staring at the stone rock without letting go.

  "Beware! That's the 'Darkness' 'Requiem of the Underworld'!" Mu Yu Die exclaimed, "Don't let their shadows linger in your mind, or that 'Requiem of the Underworld' will keep chasing you!"

  A glint of strange light flashed in Shi Yan's eyes, and he suddenly retreated, forcibly driving out the thought of attacking those three Dark Stars from his mind, and his soul became clear again.

  Three "Ming Wang Spears" suddenly lost their target, shooting together at a distant grass thicket, and in the midst of a loud explosion, they blasted the distant grass thicket into flying debris.

  "Damn it!" A dark star messenger cursed and was about to urge some secret method.

  At this moment, Zhao Xin took a packet of medicine and slowly recovered from the poison of "Gu Bone Powder". Seeing that he was about to urge the secret method, he rushed over in a hurry.

  Zhao Xin's two hands shook, his arms stretched and contracted like a spiritual snake, in the "hissing" sound, he moved forward, his arms seemed to be able to bend at any angle, twisting towards that one dark star messenger.

  "Hú Lóng!" Mù Yǔ Dié shouted, tossing the medicine packet out. Hú Lóng caught it in one hand and greedily took a sniff, humming as he charged out.

  Zhao Xin and Hu Long made their move, Shi Yan felt no pressure at all. These two had taken the antidote, their bodies would gradually recover. The three Ming Star Cultivators were poisoned by "Bone Corroding Powder", they would only become weaker and weaker, it wouldn't be long before Zhao Xin and Hu Long killed them.

  "Diya Lan, don't go to war anymore, give the medicine package to Uncle Luo." Mu Yu Die's eyes saw Diya Lan take a breath of the medicine package and was about to go help Zhao Xin, so she hurriedly stopped her.

  Diya immediately understood and rushed towards Luo Hao's direction without saying another word.

  Shi Yan slowly walked to Mu Yu Die's side, his expression calm and serene. He was standing beside Mu Yu Die, but his gaze kept drifting towards Di Ya Lan.

  Diya Lan had a head of dark red long hair, wheat-colored skin, and only wore a small area of dark red armor that covered her full breasts, the valleys below, and her plump buttocks. Her abdomen without an ounce of excess flesh, her smooth and straight beautiful legs were all exposed.

  Diya Lan's looks are just average, but her figure is extremely hot, and the way she dresses is wild and provocative, which can easily arouse a man's desire to conquer.

  Shi Yan stood beside Mu Yu Die, but didn't look at her. His scorching gaze fell entirely on Di Ya Lan, not hiding his masculine nature in the slightest.

  "Does it look good?" Mu Yu Die's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she hummed a somewhat displeased sound.

  Shi Yan regained his composure and smiled at her, saying calmly: "As long as he's a man, seeing such a fiery beauty, he'll definitely be interested."

  Mu Yu's beautiful eyes sparkled as she stared at him for a while, then covered her mouth and chuckled: "You're really interesting when you talk, how old are you? Can you even be considered a man?"

  Shi Yan was taken aback, and only then did he remember that this body's actual age was indeed only seventeen. Moreover, due to his recent severe weight loss, in other people's eyes, he probably looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old.

  Such a childish body, yet claiming to be a man, and still talking about such an inappropriate topic for minors, it's really strange.

  Shaking his head silently, Shi Yan didn't explain and pretended to be unintentional, walking away from Mu Yue's side, getting closer to Zhao Xin and Hu Long by a few meters.

  A miserable cry rang out, and a dark star messenger with a mouthful of blood was shattered in the heart and lungs by Zhao Xin's "Tian She Bian" hidden strength. His body swayed twice before he died on the spot.

  Shi Yan took a few steps forward, and the strands of spiritual energy emanating from that person's body surged into his own in a way that only he could feel. As he felt the influx of spiritual energy, Shi Yan's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and at the bottom of his heart, a bloodthirsty and violent thought arose once again.

  He knew that as long as the two of them did not purify their essence, such thoughts would occasionally pop up in his mind.

  After going through the Kālu incident, Shí Yán already had experience.

  After a while, he found that because his boundary had broken through to the Xiantian boundary, after his body's acupoints absorbed the essence of two dead people of the same boundary, he could actually still suppress the crazy desires in his heart and hadn't lost his rationality.

  The stone rock is now clearly visible, and it's definitely because his boundary has been elevated to this point. The reason why he was so crazy before is likely that he only had the cultivation of the acquired boundary, while Kalu was in the innate boundary, crossing a whole big level to purify the opponent's vital energy, making those leaked negative powers become so terrifying.

  "Chase!"

  While meditating on the stone cliff, Zhao Xin let out a cold shout and chased after the fleeing Ming Xing with Hu Long.

  "Don't chase! We're leaving immediately!" Luo Hao watched as the leading Mingyue messenger also retreated, but instead of taking advantage of the opponent's "Bone Corrosion Powder" attack, he violently shouted to stop Zhao Xin and the others.

  "Uncle Luo, why?" Zhao Xin asked in puzzlement.

  Luo Hao took a deep breath of the medicinal fragrance in the packet and said urgently, "Someone is coming! It must be another small team sent by 'Darkness'. Once the two teams merge, it will be too late for us to leave. Remember! Our goal is not to kill as many people from 'Darkness' as possible, but to ensure Little Butterfly's safety!"

  Zhao Xin's face changed as soon as he heard someone else coming over and he hastily nodded in agreement.

  Lu Hao didn't waste any words, and before his body had fully recovered, he rushed over and grabbed Mu Yu Die again. He said to Shi Yan, "Little brother, thank you so much for this trip, but this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to follow us and suffer together, let's part ways here."

  "I still owe Miss Mu a life."

  Shi Yan seemed to be completely unaware of the "darkness" he was facing, and smiled calmly: "A drop of water in need will be repaid with a gushing spring, let alone Miss Mu saving my life. I am a person who distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, if someone targets me, I will return it tenfold! If someone treats me kindly, I will also return it tenfold! I'll follow you guys for a while longer, hoping to be of some help."

  "What a good fellow!" Hu Long exclaimed.

  Diya Lan, with a fiery figure, had sparkling eyes and chuckled: "You little guy, not only do you have the guts to be flirtatious, but also the audacity! You've been secretly watching your sister for so long, and I was planning on settling accounts with you afterwards. But hearing what you just said, I'll forgive you."

  "You..." Mu Yutian was taken aback, she hadn't expected Shi Yan to be such a persistent person, and her heart felt a little moved.

  "Since little brother insists, I won't persuade him anymore." Luo Hao also didn't waste words, nodded his head, and grabbed Mu Yu Die before taking off in a sprint.

  Zhao Xin and the other two quickly followed up, Shi Yan took a deep breath and also followed.

  ……

  Mo Chao Ge led a line of Mo Family warriors, swiftly darting between the trees. Along the way, he suddenly stopped and gazed solemnly at several "Dark Realm" envoys who had abruptly appeared.

  "The dark and mysterious" Mingyue was also taken aback, staring at Mo Chao Ge and the others with an eerie gaze, unsure where these people came from, secretly worrying that they might be from Luo Hao's side.

  "Second Uncle..." Mò Yán's lips moved slightly as she looked at the other person, realizing he didn't seem like a good person, and wanted to remind Mò Zhāo Gē to be careful.

  Mo Chao Ge sank his face and stared at Ming Yue, after a brief moment of silence, he suddenly spoke up: "We are chasing a boy with a backpack, extremely thin build, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old. Our target is just that boy, no intention to offend anyone."

  The "darkness" of the dark moon made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief, as the "bone-eroding powder" in his body had begun to take effect. His current strength was less than 30% of his usual power. If he were to really fight with Mo Qingyu now, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantage.

  As soon as Mo Zhao finished speaking, he was moved in his heart and immediately said in a gloomy tone: "I've seen that young man before, mixed with our target."

  "I wonder where that young man is now?" Mo Qing Ge asked very politely.

  He didn't know that the mysterious man had been poisoned with "Bone Corroding Powder", but from the ominous aura on his body, Mo Qing Ge could tell that this person was not to be trifled with, so he didn't dare show off his arrogant side at all.

  "That way." Mingyue pointed out the direction, coldly saying: "You'd better be careful, that kid's boundary isn't high, but among the people he's attached to, there is a warrior with a Hundred Calamities and One Heavy Heaven boundary. That warrior also has a tenfold heavy power martial soul, not easy to deal with."

  "A hundred calamities, one heavy heaven." Mo Zhao Ge heard the words and slightly furrowed his brow, then nodded and said: "Thank you for telling me!"

  "Let's go!" Mo Chao Ge waved his hand and led a line of Mo family warriors away in haste.

  "It seems that this person is also in a desperate situation." After they left, Mingyue's eyes suddenly turned cold and gloomy, and he sneered: "You little brat who ruined my big plan, just wait until I recover, I will definitely crush your bones to ashes!"
