Before the words had fallen, the howling wind intensified abruptly, like a raging sea, sweeping up a storm of dust and sand into the air.

The fierce wind converged in mid-air, transforming into a piercing glint of cold light, rushing straight towards the Blood Robe.

Blood Robe was about to join forces with the Hall Master to annihilate the Chief Prefecture when suddenly he felt the wind rushing at him, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

This wind seemed ordinary but was actually harboring deadly intent; even a strong Outer Elixir Realm practitioner would find it hard to withstand its piercing force.

At this critical moment, he retracted all eight arms, intertwining chains like a web, forcibly taking this fatal blow.

"Clang—"

The chains vibrated violently in the fierce wind, emitting a harsh metallic clanging sound.

Blood Robe was shaken by the immense force, flying backward dozens of yards.

Wherever he passed, trees were snapped, debris flying everywhere.

Chief Prefecture wielded a grand halberd, horizontally striking, battling with the Hall Master for dozens of rounds, the outcome still undecided.

Zhao Wuhuan's sudden involvement shifted the balance of the battle abruptly.

The Hall Master, seeing this, shook his arms, deflected the incoming halberd, and retreated swiftly.

Right at the place where he had just stood, a folding fan deeply embedded into the ground, cracks instantly spreading like a spider web.

If he had moved a moment slower, he would have been injured by this strike.

"A fan is ultimately not as handy as a sword."

Zhao Wuhuan lightly stroked his waist, a sudden glint of cold light appeared as the soft sword was already in hand.

The sword body quivered, emitting a clear dragon-like hum.

"A master of the Outer Elixir Realm, how is that possible?" The Hall Master's pupils contracted, his face filled with horror, speaking in disbelief.

The resources of Lingzhou are limited; it absolutely cannot nurture a third master of the Outer Elixir Realm.

The reason the Demon Transformation Pool could achieve the Outer Elixir Realm is related to its intrinsic properties, not requiring the consumption of massive resources.

But how could a human step into the Outer Elixir Realm in Lingzhou?

There is only one answer: this person is not from Lingzhou.

Blood Robe had come to his senses, stabilizing his stance, his blood-red pupils flickering fiercely: "Fool! Didn't you hear him call the Chief Prefecture 'junior brother'? This person is surely a guest from Xunyang Prefecture!"

Only then did the Hall Master recall that Zhao Wuhuan had previously said the Chief Prefecture was his junior brother.

"No matter what, today they must die!"

He had paid so much of a price, even established the Demon Hall painstakingly, and suffered tremendous losses because of his plan.

If he couldn't kill Chief Prefecture today, all his sacrifices would turn into smoke and vanish.

Chief Prefecture planted the grand halberd into the ground, glanced at Zhao Wuhuan, his eyes complex: "Senior brother, it's been a long time, how have you been?"

Zhao Wuhuan shook his head slightly: "Less idle talk, let's decapitate these filthy creatures, there's plenty of time to talk after."

Chief Prefecture nodded: "In that case, after you, senior brother."

Zhao Wuhuan's lips curled up: "Then I won't be courteous."

As the words fell, he stepped forward, turning into a blur, rushing towards Blood Robe.

Their words just now seemed as if they regarded the Hall Master and Blood Robe as two dishes.

Blood Robe felt an immense pressure approaching, laughed in extreme anger: "Since becoming a Pseudo-God, I've never suffered such a loss, and you think you can chop off my head?"

With these words, Blood Robe roared angrily, his eight arms suddenly expanding, the chains breaking inch by inch.

As the chains shattered, Blood Robe's figure exploded to over three meters, his entire aura ascending a level.

"Boom!"

Fist and sword clashed, surging waves of energy.

A huge thunderous roar suddenly resounded.

Blood Robe manipulated the eight arms to attack repeatedly, each arm carrying terrifying pressure, continuously clashing with Zhao Wuhuan's soft sword.

Zhao Wuhuan sneered: "Using Secret Techniques right at the start, you are indeed willing."

Blood Robe's voice echoed among the shadows of fists.

"As long as I can kill you, there's nothing I'm not willing to risk!"

Zhao Wuhuan didn't continue speaking, instead holding the soft sword, continuing his battle with Blood Robe.

The soft sword was like the wind, fist shadows like demons.

The duel of Outer Elixir Realm transformed into a prolonged battle at this moment.

On the other side, the Hall Master and Chief Prefecture were also in a fierce struggle.

Chief Prefecture's grand halberd split mountains and stones, the Hall Master's claws were sinister and cunning.

Each move exchanged between them was filled with boundless might.

Neither side could gain the upper hand momentarily, and both were using their Secret Techniques to the full extent.

Blood Robe's Secret Technique had already been used, and on the other hand, Zhao Wuhuan might seem ordinary, but it was as if two suns were burning between his eyes.

Each sword strike carried with it a scorching aura.

The Hall Master's forehead horn flickered with lightning-like light, channeling the power throughout his body via the horn.

Though Chief Prefecture was wielding the grand halberd, each swing seemed like a tide of vitality surging madly through his body, flowing to the grand halberd along his arms.

With all Secret Techniques activated, the situation was at a standoff.

However, Chief Prefecture and Zhao Wuhuan remained unperturbed.

The Hall Master and Blood Robe, in contrast, harbored different thoughts in their hearts.

If it were only the four of them facing off, they could endure a prolonged battle here.

But apart from them, the Patrol Sentinels and the Demon Hall's monstrous creatures were fighting not far away.

Though the monstrous creatures were numerous, they lacked top-tier combat power, they could only stall the Patrol Sentinels, unable to annihilate them.

On the contrary, as time went on, those Patrol Sentinels would inevitably slaughter all of the Demon Hall's creatures.

Then, when they surrounded and closed in, it would be enough to change the tide of the battle.

He and Blood Robe would surely die without a burial place.

The Hall Master could think of this, as could Chief Prefecture and Zhao Wuhuan.

Precisely because of this, the two remained so calm.

At this moment, the shouts and sounds of slaughter from the Patrol Sentinels' battlefield were gradually weakening.

The creatures of the Jade Bone Realm were originally born from the Demon Transformation Pool, so Blood Robe could sense that the creatures were visibly diminishing.

If they waited a bit longer, it would be estimated that the Patrol Sentinels would soon end their battle and rush to their battlefield.

A growing unease rose in Blood Robe's heart.

He had just escaped the constraints of the Demon Transformation Pool, had yet to enjoy the pleasures this world had to offer, and now faced a life-and-death crisis.

He felt unwilling.

Blood Robe's panic was immediately caught by Zhao Wuhuan.

Zhao Wuhuan unhesitatingly thrust a few consecutive swords, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds on Blood Robe.

Blood Robe's figure withdrew violently, suddenly gritting his teeth, the madness in his eyes growing stronger.

This scene was instantly caught by the Hall Master.

The Hall Master shouted loudly: "Absolutely not!"

But it was too late by then.

Blood Garment paid no heed, his entire aura gradually boiling as if mountains were crashing down.

Zhao Wuhuan saw this and grew wary, retreating two zhang with his sword in hand.

The next moment, Blood Garment's presence grew even more intense, suppressing even Zhao Wuhuan's powerful aura.

Streams of blood appeared out of thin air, rapidly connecting to the distance.

"Why not!" Blood Garment laughed maniacally: "If this continues, I will surely die on the spot. A mere Demon Transformation Pool, gone is gone, as long as I remain, I am the Demon Transformation Pool itself!"

With these words, Zhao Wuhuan immediately understood what Blood Garment was doing.

"He's planning to draw all the power of the Demon Transformation Pool upon himself. Junior Brother, finish this quickly!"

Lingzhou also sensed Blood Garment's abnormality, shouted, muscles bulging and then rapidly thinning.

The dissipated strength crazily surged into the great halberd held in his hands.

The great halberd slashed straight toward the Hall Master.

The Hall Master felt the chilling wind and said angrily: "You're insane, all of you! You dare to use such life-shortening secret techniques!"

He crossed his claws, clashing fiercely with the great halberd.

But now Lingzhou had already ignited the life-shortening secret technique, and as the great halberd slashed down, no one could resist.

Cracks immediately appeared on the Hall Master's claws, the excruciating pain snapped him back to reality.

The wind whispered past his ears, making the Hall Master turn his head hastily.

Only to see Blood Garment, churning all the power of the Demon Transformation Pool upon himself, charging towards Zhao Wuhuan like a meteor.

Zhao Wuhuan wanted to retreat, but suddenly terrifying torrents of blood appeared, sealing him in all directions.

The Hall Master shouted loudly: "Lingzhou, why aren't you taking your senior brother and running away? You can still escape now, the power of the Demon Transformation Pool is not something he can withstand!"

Yet, a different plan brewed in the Hall Master's heart.

If he won today, leveraging the power of the Demon Transformation Pool would allow him to endlessly create terrifying demons.

But if Blood Garment continued to burn through the Pool's power, recovery would take extremely long.

This did not fit into his plans.

If he could scare off the two from Lingzhou, preserving part of the Demon Transformation Pool would be worthwhile.

He could slowly plot later.

Otherwise, even a victory would be a pyrrhic victory, possibly even worse than defeat.

But Lingzhou, hearing this, was in no hurry, instead showing a slight smile.

"Senior Brother, if you keep hiding your skills, I'll report to the teacher. Even if the teacher doesn't favor me, he'll surely punish you severely."

Hiding skills?

Upon hearing these words, the Hall Master suddenly felt a sense of fear arise within him.

"Could it be that the Outer Elixir Realm expert from Xunyang Prefecture has secret techniques?"

As soon as the thought arose, it was interrupted.

Lingzhou continued striding forward, his great halberd charged with boundless vitality, aiming to kill.

The Hall Master had no choice but to gather his spirit and continue battling with Lingzhou.

With each clash, he inevitably suffered the backlash of the great halberd, leaving a mark on him.

If this continued for long, he was surely doomed.

"I can only wait for Blood Garment to kill his foe and come help me."

The Hall Master couldn't care about anything else, nor about Blood Garment depleting the power of the Demon Transformation Pool, for survival was now the most important.

On the other side, Zhao Wuhuan, hearing Lingzhou's words, sighed softly.

Then, astonishingly, he sheathed his soft sword back into his belt.

Even the attacking Blood Garment was momentarily stunned by this sight.

But it was already a fight to the death, and he couldn't afford to think more. With the boundless power of the Demon Transformation Pool in his eight arms, he pressed towards Zhao Wuhuan's head.

If this punch landed, Zhao Wuhuan would be smashed to bits.

At that very moment, Zhao Wuhuan moved.

He appeared solemn, channeling all his essence, energy, and spirit into the soft sword at his waist.

"One Sword in Ten Years!"

Zhao Wuhuan softly uttered four words.

The soft sword suddenly unsheathed from his belt.

This was his secret technique, one of the most formidable among all his secret techniques.

Gathering all his essence, energy, and spirit, drawing the long sword from its sheath, with the essence, energy, and spirit as a guide, striking the ultimate pinnacle sword!

The soft sword unsheathed, a cold glint burst forth.

Blood Garment, upon fiercely attacking Zhao Wuhuan, suddenly froze, as if he had turned into a wooden statue, standing motionless.

Lines of blood stretched all over Blood Garment's body, blood surging along them.

The previously intact Blood Garment instantly shattered and spread apart.

Once the sword was out, even an Outer Elixir Realm Pseudo-God fell dead on the spot.

Zhao Wuhuan exhaled, his face slightly pale.

A secret technique that could kill a Pseudo-God in one strike, even he struggled to execute it.

But fortunately, his battle was over.

On the other side, the Hall Master's face changed drastically, suddenly gritting his teeth, letting out a dragon's roar.

Lingzhou, holding the great halberd, was affected by the dragon's roar, hesitating slightly.

Seizing this pause, the Hall Master suddenly retreated, opening his mouth and spitting.

A terrifying round bead was spat out from his mouth.

This was his Demon Pill.

In the Outer Elixir Realm, it was no longer a demon crystal, but called a Demon Pill.

Pseudo-Gods were Pseudo-Pills.

As for what humans condensed, it was called Human Pills.

At this moment, knowing there was no way to retreat, the Hall Master could only save his own life first.

Without hesitation, he activated the True Qi within him, and the Demon Pill burst instantly.

Lingzhou and Zhao Wuhuan's faces slightly changed, retreating frantically.

The terrifying explosive energy spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Hall Master seized the opportunity, transforming into his true dragon form, fleeing toward the distance.

Zhao Wuhuan waved his sleeve, dispersing all the dust.

Lingzhou wanted to chase, but was held back by Zhao Wuhuan on the shoulder.

"With the shattered Demon Pill, his realm has fallen to the Pulse Condensation Realm. Leave him to those who need him."
