Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

The depths of darkness are not empty.

The air was filled with a sickening sweet smell, like rotten fruit mixed with blood. The ground was uneven, and covered with strange bones, some of which were even moving slightly, making a creepy "crackling" sound.

Lu Yuan frowned, the light of Xuanyuan Sword illuminated this strange space, but it added a bit of horror to the atmosphere. Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao followed closely behind him, their faces pale, obviously also frightened by this gloomy environment.

"This place... is even more disgusting than I imagined." Chu Yao couldn't help but complain in a low voice. She subconsciously covered her nose, but the fishy and sweet smell seemed to be pervasive and still penetrated into her nasal cavity.

"Be careful, there's a lot of evil energy here." Lu Yuan warned, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand humming, as if sensing something.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently and the three people lost their balance and almost fell down.

"What's going on?" Ye Ling'er exclaimed. She grabbed Lu Yuan's sleeve tightly, her eyes full of fear.

The vibration became more and more violent, the ground began to crack, and streams of black gas gushed out from the cracks, making sharp roars.

"Oh no, it's the guardian of the Black Demon Sect!" Lu Yuan's face changed, he recognized this evil aura.

Before he finished speaking, a huge figure emerged from the ground. It looked like a giant python, covered with black scales, and its scarlet eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light.

"hiss--"

The giant python let out a deafening roar, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced towards Lu Yuan and the other two.

"Looking for death!" Lu Yuan snorted coldly, the Xuanyuan Sword shone with golden light, he leaped up and rushed towards the giant python.

"boom!"

The Xuanyuan Sword collided with the giant python's sharp teeth, bursting out a dazzling light, and a powerful shock wave swept around, shattering the surrounding bones into powder.

The giant python was pushed back several steps, but it seemed to have no sense of pain. Its eyes became more ferocious and it pounced towards Lu Yuan again.

"This beast is so thick-skinned!" Lu Yuan cursed inwardly. He waved the Xuanyuan Sword and fought with the giant python.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao did not dare to be negligent. They each cast spells to assist Lu Yuan in attacking the giant python.

For a moment, sword energy was everywhere, spells were flying, and the entire space was shrouded in light and black air.

However, the giant python's defense was amazing, and even the sharp edge of the Xuanyuan Sword could not completely cut it off. Moreover, it seemed to be able to absorb the evil energy around it and continuously restore its own strength.

"We can't go on like this, we must find its weakness!" While dodging the giant python's attacks, Lu Yuan observed its movements, looking for flaws.

Just then, he noticed that there was a piece of scale on the python's belly that was slightly lighter in color and seemed to be more fragile than other places.

"There!" Lu Yuan's heart moved, and he decided to take a risk.

He suddenly leaped back, putting some distance between himself and the giant python, then took a deep breath and poured all the energy in his body into the Xuan-Yuan Sword.

"Xuanyuan Sword Technique - Breaking the Sky with a Strike!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand burst out with unprecedented light. He turned into a golden light and stabbed towards the light-colored scales on the giant python's belly.

"Pfft-"

With a slight sound, the Xuanyuan Sword pierced into the giant python's abdomen, and a black liquid gushed out, emitting a disgusting fishy smell.

"hiss--"

The giant python let out a shrill scream, and its huge body trembled violently, then it fell to the ground with a bang, turned into a pool of black water, and slowly disappeared. "Finally solved." Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He took back the Xuanyuan Sword, and felt that the true energy in his body was consumed greatly, and a feeling of weakness came over him.

"Lu Yuan, are you okay?" Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao hurried forward and asked with concern.

Lu Yuan shook his head and was about to speak, when suddenly, his face changed and he looked fiercely into the depths of the darkness.

"Oh no, there is an even more powerful evil spirit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice sounded in the darkness:

"Haha, I didn't expect you to make it this far. It seems I still underestimated you..."

As the voice appeared, a figure wearing a black robe and a mask slowly walked out of the darkness. In his hand was a black long sword, which exuded a frightening evil aura.

"Who are you?" Lu Yuan asked vigilantly. He felt a strong pressure. The strength of this man in black robe was far superior to that of the giant python before.

The man in black robe did not answer. He slowly took off his mask, revealing a pale and handsome face.

"Long time no see, Lu Yuan." He raised an evil smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with cold murderous intent.

Lu Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank. He recognized this face and the voice full of hatred.

"It's you...Qin Feng!"

"Qin Feng!" Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand hummed, and the sword body shone with golden light, as if it felt the anger of its master. Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao were also shocked. They didn't expect to meet Qin Feng here, and the evil spirit on him was so strong that he had obviously fallen into the devil's way.

Qin Feng sneered: "Why, are you surprised? You took everything from me back then, today, I will return it double!"

"There is a hidden story behind what happened back then!" Lu Yuan said in a deep voice, "You were blinded by hatred, and that's why you ended up like this!"

"Hidden secret? Haha!" Qin Feng laughed wildly, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, this is the only hidden secret! You stole my woman, my status, and even caused my family to be destroyed. Now you are here hypocritically talking about some hidden secret?"

Lu Yuan felt a pain in his heart. The events of the past were indeed complicated. He did not intend to take away everything from Qin Feng. It was just a trick of fate that made them stand on opposite sides. "Ling'er, Yao'er, be careful. Qin Feng has gone crazy and his strength is extraordinary!" Lu Yuan warned in a low voice.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao nodded, each taking out their magic weapons and ready for battle.

"Stop talking nonsense and prepare to die!" Qin Feng stopped talking nonsense and swung the black sword in his hand. A sharp black sword energy rushed straight towards Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan did not dare to delay. The Xuanyuan Sword glowed with golden light and slashed towards the black sword energy.

"boom!"

The two powerful forces collided, causing a deafening roar, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted.

Lu Yuan was knocked back several steps, and the blood in his body surged. Qin Feng's cultivation was even stronger than he had imagined.

"Haha, Lu Yuan, your strength is just so-so." Qin Feng said sarcastically. He flashed and appeared behind Lu Yuan like a ghost. The black sword in his hand pierced Lu Yuan's vest with a cold light.

"Despicable!" Ye Ling'er screamed, and the jade ruyi in her hand turned into a ray of white light and hit Qin Feng.

Qin Feng had to turn around to resist. Although Ye Ling'er's attack failed to hurt him, it gave him a chance to catch his breath.

Lu Yuan took the opportunity to steady himself. He took a deep breath, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
