A cluster of crystal clear water droplets, jumping and flickering like flames, the color changing from pale to transparent to a deep blue. The surrounding flames danced and fluttered, filling the air with a faint mist that rose slantingly upwards.

  He lightly tossed out the Blood Wheel that was spinning in his hand, and as soon as it left his hand, it rapidly expanded. Everyone only felt a brief darkness in front of their eyes, and the Blood Wheel transformed into a large cluster of bloody mist that enveloped the left side of Mo Duan's head. The rolling and unceasing bloody mist seemed like a strange beast, occasionally emitting a low humming noise, as if countless vengeful spirits were wailing and screaming, causing people's hearts to tremble with fear.

  Shrouded in misty blue flames and blood fog collided with each other.

  Ding!

  A crisp, crystal-like sound was heard, followed by countless sharp, ear-piercing screams and wails that emerged from the bloody mist. The onlookers felt a searing pain in their eardrums, and those who were closer had blood gushing out of their ears.

  Heh heh heh! That strand of blue flame continuously released countless tiny sword auras, and the blood mist would freeze into small red ice particles as soon as it got close.

  The blue flame-like sword edge seemed endless, the rolling blood mist was damaged, like a furious beast, more frantically rolling and changing, the screaming sound in the blood mist changed from previous mournful to high-pitched and angry.

  In the midst of the bloody mist, a sudden collapse occurred, and the blood-colored fog rapidly withdrew inward at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, the bloody mist that had just spread out for dozens of feet was swept away, leaving behind a blood-red spider on the empty ground. The blood-red spider was slightly taller than Left Mo's head, with its entire body covered in black patterns resembling talismans. Its legs were covered in large and small hooks, the tips of which shone with a cold light, making one doubtless believe that if it were to lightly hook onto something, the flesh would be instantly pierced. The blood spider's pair of eyes, as big as fists, stared at Left Mo without any emotion.

  Zuo Mo's heart was icy. The blood spider in front of him didn't have the shocking and intimidating presence as the ball of bloody mist from earlier, but it made him even more cautious.

  At this time, his heart was completely filled with the will of the sword, and even when facing a terrifying blood spider he had never seen before, his will did not waver in the slightest!

  It seemed to sense the determination in Lemo's heart, and the pale blue flame, accompanied by a faint mist, transformed into a flowing light that shot towards the Blood Spider.

  The blood spider suddenly raised its face and opened its mouth.

  Piercing, ear-piercing screams gushed out of its mouth like a tsunami, with it as the center, the air was pulled into circles like ripples, visible to the naked eye.

  It transformed into a pale blue flame that suddenly burst forth with great radiance, the mist around it rapidly growing thicker and more intense, its speed increasing rather than decreasing. With it as the center, countless tiny sword lights intersected and wove together, forming an invisible web of sword lights!

  Zuo Mo's body swayed slightly, and his heart secretly trembled. The blood spider's sharp cry was actually able to injure one's spiritual consciousness! If not for his spiritual consciousness being far deeper than that of an ordinary cultivator, he would have suffered a great loss just now.

  The cultivators around him were miserable, those who had fallen to the ground with their faces pale, their divine consciousness was severely damaged. Only that cultivator wearing a bamboo hat remained unmoved, seemingly unaffected.

  "Fortunately, we retreated far enough!" The Lingying Sect disciple who had been questioning Yan Mingzi earlier was now beaming with joy. However, despite the distance, he still felt the impact and his chest churned with nausea as if he wanted to vomit. His gaze towards Chang Shixiong was suddenly filled with reverence.

  No one paid attention to him.

  Yan Mingzi's eyes widened in shock, pointing at Chang Heng inside the arena, and suddenly turned his face to ask: "Who said that Master Chang had cultivated his body and nature?"

  Hu Shan and Tao Shu'er exchanged a horrified glance, and the strength of Chang Shi Xiong was even more terrifying than in previous years.

  The competition on the scene has also reached its climax.

  The blood spider didn't dodge or evade, instead it lifted its head and stretched out its front limbs, stabbing towards the dripping sword!

  The water sword transformed into a blue flame and accurately hit the blood spider's forelimb!

  At the moment of intersection, a thick bloody light rose from all over the blood spider, covering it inside.

  Blue flames intertwined with sword edges struck the blood spider's bloody glow, ice shards flying wildly, but couldn't break through its defense at all.

  Boom!

  Blue flame entity directly hits Bloodlight.

  The blood light that had been motionless just now suddenly fluctuated violently, the blood light surged restlessly, as if it could be dispersed at any time.

  Ahh! The Blood Spider let out a thunderous howl, its voice filled with rage!

  The whole body's blood light suddenly surged greatly, the thick blood light was like countless fresh blood condensed and refined, viscous as if it were a substance.

  Zuo Mo immediately felt the pressure increase, the immense pressure coming from in front of Dripping Water Sword was unprecedented, as if the killing intent from all directions was pouring down on him like a landslide, and Dripping Water Sword seemed to be the fish caught in the net.

  At this point, Zuo Mo had completely eliminated all distractions. The crystal stones and the magical artifacts were all discarded beyond the nine heavens. His eyes only had Blood Spider and Dripping Water Sword!

  Spiritual power goes crazy, no need for any benefit stimulation, the unprecedented death pressure brought by Blood Spider to Zuo Mo makes him unconsciously go all out!

  He forgot it was just a test and also forgot what they agreed on for one move.

  His entire spiritual energy was poured into the Drop of Water Sword, and the surging battle intent, as well as the deep-seated fear of death that arose from within, intertwined with each other like twins, deeply stimulating Zuo Mo. All calmness, all rationality were reduced to nothing in this moment, leaving only the most primitive instincts, the instinct to fight, the instinct to survive!

  Unknowingly, he floated quietly in mid-air.

  But what happened next left everyone completely stunned.

  "What... what is that?" Yan Mingzi stuttered and asked.

  Hu Shan's face was filled with shock and he muttered unconsciously: "Impossible... this can't be..."

  Tao Xuer's face lost its color, her complexion as pale as paper. Wang Shixiong, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up, looking at Zuo Mo in the arena with incredulity. Wen Fei, who had been staring intently, finally changed color, and Lin Yuan, not far away, also looked shocked. The black cloth of the cultivator wearing a bamboo hat was violently waving, as if blown by a strong gust of wind.

  Even Chang Heng, who was standing behind Xuechu with an indifferent expression, revealed a look of surprise at this moment.

  The Lingqi floating in mid-air around Zuo Mo flew towards him at a terrifying speed. He was like a whirlpool, crazily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

  To be honest, the spiritual energy at the Lingying Sect's mountain gate wasn't particularly dense, but Zuo Mo's absorbing power was truly astonishing. After absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, he even pulled in spiritual energy from further away. Such a rough and direct way of plundering spiritual energy, who had ever seen it? Not to mention that this was happening while fighting at the same time as absorbing spiritual energy.

  This...this is also too unbelievable!

  Zuo Mo didn't know what kind of shock he had brought to the crowd, but at this moment, he was like a beast on the brink of extinction, all his attention focused on the Blood Spider in front of him. He used every method he could think of.

  Bet everything!

  The tearing pain transmitted through his meridians was completely ignored by him at this time, and he recklessly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy without considering the consequences.

  The blue flame's radiance grew more intense, the motley spiritual energy pouring into it. It was no longer burning quietly and soundlessly, but with a crackling explosive noise! If the previous blue flame was like a quiet maiden, then this flame was an angry and violent strongman!

  A hint of fear flashed in the blood spider's eyes, but soon it seemed even more enraged. The guy in front of him, with his mediocre strength, dared to challenge its authority again and again, and just now it had even felt a little afraid of this guy, it was thoroughly infuriated!

  Aaaaah!

  The blood spider's body suddenly swelled, and in the blink of an eye, it expanded several times, standing like a small hill. The bright red glow all over its body turned dark, as if covered with a thick layer of blood plasma, and dark red blood beads kept dripping down. As the blood beads dripped onto the ground, a wisp of cyan smoke rose up, and a small black pit appeared on the ground.

  Everyone knows that this battle has reached its final critical moment.

  Suddenly, blue and red launched simultaneously! They chose the most direct and violent way, like two fierce bulls, colliding violently with each other.

  Boom!

  Everyone only felt a burst of light in front of their eyes, and they couldn't see anything. The ground under their feet shook violently, and after the initial shock, everyone hurriedly stabilized their figures.

  Before they even opened their eyes, they heard the sound of Lemo's voice floating in from the air.

  "Thanks for the lesson, brother! I managed to pass by luck. Farewell for now, we'll meet again!"

  When everyone opened their eyes, where could they still see the shadow of Zuo Mo? The previous battle was too shocking, almost everyone had a momentary loss of consciousness and stood in place. As people gradually came back to their senses and looked towards the arena, the Blood Spider's expression was dispirited, with two deep wounds on its front legs that were several inches long, striking fear into the hearts of all who saw it, not a hint of its previous ferocity remained.

  Chang Heng's senior brother stood with his eyes closed, his legs sank deep into the stone slab, up to his knees. He didn't move at all, and no one dared to approach him.

  In an instant, a sword light descended from the sky. It was a senior member of the Lingying Sect. He looked around and noticed the injured and dispirited Blood Spider. His face changed slightly, and he shouted sternly, "What just happened?"

  The disciples all looked at him, and Lin Yuan saw their gaze directed at himself, so he had no choice but to step forward and briefly explain once again.

  "Hmph, you're quite bold for a nobody from the Empty Sword Sect!" The elder of the Lingying Sect's eyes widened in anger, and he coldly snorted. When his gaze fell upon Chang Heng, who was standing still with his eyes closed, a hint of joy suddenly flashed across his face.

  Just then, Chang suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of blood color passed through them!

  He raised his head and let out a long whistle towards the sky!

  Wen Fei was taken aback at first, and then revealed a look of extreme joy.

  Always with a heart full of joy and ease, the bottleneck that had been stuck for so long was finally broken through smoothly. From now on, he has finally entered the Condensation Period! After a while, he looked towards the direction where Left Mo had disappeared, a playful expression appearing on his face.

  The Taoist wearing a conical hat looked at Chang Heng for a moment before turning around and leaving.

  Ashen-faced, with a pale complexion, and bloodstains all over his collar. The last blow he took was no light injury, and he spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood. But in order to leave as soon as possible, he mustered up his spiritual energy and made a beeline for where he had secretly placed the Ashen Goose. This also greatly exacerbated his injuries. At present, the only thought in his mind was to hurry back to the sect.

  The seriously injured Zuo Mo only felt his whole body getting heavier and heavier, he lay motionless on the back of the grey winged goose, falling into a coma.

  The grey geese seemed to know that the situation was critical, flapping their wings hard and flying desperately towards the empty mountain.

  In his coma, Zuo Mo's chest suddenly lit up with a faint five-colored glow. From the five-colored glow, thin green threads emerged and spread along his meridians into his four limbs.

  In the sea of knowledge, Pu Yao was watching this scene with great interest.

  "It's interesting, I really want to squeeze it open..."
