Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The ghost mask, having reformed its body, seemed to be in a state of intense rage, its aura menacing.

The surging sea of blood continued to flow towards Li Guanqi's location.

Suddenly!!

In a fit of rage, the ghost mask summoned countless blood shadows with a wave of its hand!!

These blood shadows were densely packed, resembling cultivators completely covered in blood.

Each one possessed a pressure nearing the third level of the Mysterious Immortal realm.

A full hundred blood shadows lunged towards Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi gritted his teeth, glancing back at the tightly shut stone door and cursing under his breath.

This should be an alchemy chamber of some sect elder, the materials used throughout being extremely sturdy.

He felt that these materials were of a higher grade than the immortal minerals he had previously obtained from the warehouse.

His sword blade struck against it, sending sparks flying, yet not even leaving a scratch.

It was hard to imagine just how high the grade of that alchemist was back then.

And also...

Could this blood-colored mask before him be something left behind by that person?

Facing the assault of countless blood shadows, Li Guanqi moved like a swimming dragon, relying on his speed to dodge and weave among them.

For a time, the flashes of blades and shadows never ceased, with intense booming sounds ringing out incessantly.

Clang clang!!

Boom boom! Bang!

Li Guanqi shattered the blood shadow before him with a sword strike, but it instantly reformed and attacked again.

For a full half an incense stick's worth of time, Li Guanqi hadn't managed to kill even a single blood shadow.

On the contrary, he had accumulated many wounds on his body.

The wounds were purplish-black, with flesh rotting.

And the ghost mask's roars grew increasingly agitated, even somewhat excited.

Perhaps it had already foreseen Li Guanqi's death.

Turning into blood, becoming its nourishment.

Gradually, Li Guanqi also noticed something was amiss.

These blood shadows contained killing intent and were incredibly powerful, seemingly imbued with a special 'Dao' through the ghost mask's existence!

Bang!!!

Li Guanqi was sent flying by several blood shadows, his heavy breathing sounding like a bellows.

His eyes were somewhat blurry, and he had dozens of wounds all over his body.

Li Guanqi narrowed his brows, his expression grave.

The voice of Devour Without within his body suddenly sounded.

"My Lord, I am ready!"

Li Guanqi's face revealed a savage look, and he muttered in his mouth.

"Then let's do it!!!"

Before his voice faded, Li Guanqi formed a hand seal.

Towering flames erupted from his body, a sea of fire blotting out the sky, surging and turbulent.

In an instant, the power of Devour Without was boosted to its limit.

The surrounding walls even faintly turned light red.

The flames rose, slowly coalescing into the shape of a giant furnace, enveloping the entire secret chamber!!

"Incinerate!!"

Boom!!!

The purplish-black flames devoured all the blood shadows almost instantly!

The terrifying flames swept across the heavens and earth, and the blood-colored ghost mask immediately emitted a shrill scream.

The sound waves spread, causing Li Guanqi to tilt his head back, blood flowing from all seven orifices.

The flames lasted for dozens of breaths.

When the last wisp of flame dissipated, Li Guanqi collapsed on the ground, drenched in sweat.

The surrounding walls were charred black, and there was no trace of the blood shadows in the secret chamber.

All the filthy blood had been incinerated by the flames.

The power that Devour Without Holy Flame had unleashed just now was enough to kill a Mysterious Immortal at the fifth level.

Li Guanqi collapsed on the ground, looking at the decaying flesh all over his body, feeling a burst of fear in his heart.

If he didn't possess thunder and heavenly fire, he was afraid that his mind would have been eroded and influenced long ago.

Digging out the rotten flesh from his wounds, Li Guanqi swallowed a medicinal pill to restore the immortal essence in his body and stopped the bleeding.

Only then did he get up and walk towards the big hole in the center of the ground.

Li Guanqi held his long sword, his heart filled with vigilance.

He didn't think that thing would be annihilated by the flames.

Sword Burial was quietly opened, and the Spirit-Releasing Blood Silk was wrapped around the blade.

This was his last resort, enough to restrain the opponent's weapon spirit!

Li Guanqi peered slightly.

Suddenly!!!

A streak of blood suddenly burst out!!

Li Guanqi raised his hand and slashed out with his sword instantly, but he missed.

The fanged ghost mask instantly latched onto Li Guanqi's face with lightning speed!!

Li Guanqi released his hand, his hands wrapped in Spirit-Releasing Blood Silk, instantly grabbing the mask!!!

The cold, sticky feeling on his fingertips made his hair stand on end.

The mask reversed, and the back was actually wriggling with flesh, extending dense, thread-like tentacles!!!

The mask's eyes were scarlet, and that bewitching voice sounded again.

"Wear me!! Wear me!!!! Take me away!!"

The tentacles extended, the stench filling the air, and each tentacle was like the arm of a drowning person, desperately trying to grab something.

The wriggling flesh enveloped Li Guanqi's fingers, instantly devouring his flesh, leaving only the glowing jade bones.

Those thread-like tentacles were close at hand, almost touching Li Guanqi's eyes.

Boom!!!!

Boundless flames and the power of thunder instantly erupted.

Immortal essence transformed into tiny sword qi crisscrossing, but the severed tentacles reformed again in the blink of an eye.

Li Guanqi's knuckles turned white, the veins on his neck bulged, and his face turned purplish-red.

He used all his strength to fight against the opponent.

The Spirit-Releasing Blood Silk erupted, enveloping the opponent in just an instant.

Just as Li Guanqi wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly!!!

All the Spirit-Releasing Blood Silk suddenly shattered.

At this moment, Li Guanqi's eyes were full of disbelief.

This was the first time he had seen a weapon spirit capable of breaking free from the power of Spirit-Releasing!!!!

There was no time to think about why.

Li Guanqi was horrified to discover.

The mask's flesh wriggled, actually extending a tentacle an inch long in an instant!!

Puff!!!

The tentacle pierced through his brow, and Li Guanqi's body suddenly stiffened.

Dense tentacles burrowed into his flesh, and the mask adhered to Li Guanqi's cheek.

"Ah!!!!!!!"

Li Guanqi let out a shrill scream.

The tentacles broke through flesh and bone, instantly spreading throughout his meridians and coiling down.

The lower jaw of the mask cracked open, fangs bared, and its eyes were scarlet red!!!

A violent, bloodthirsty intent filled Li Guanqi's mind.

At this moment, Li Guanqi experienced what it meant to be skinned and have his marrow extracted.

Boom boom boom!!!

In the blink of an eye, Li Guanqi's aura instantly climbed to the peak of the sixth level of the Mysterious Immortal realm!!

A steady stream of terrifying power erupted from his body.

The red and black lines on the mask flickered with spiritual light, flashing as if breathing.

And Li Guanqi bit off the flesh of his tongue, forcibly maintaining a trace of his sanity.

At this time, his mind was a chaotic mess, like paste, and his ears were filled with murmuring words, and his killing intent solidified into a blood-colored light that enveloped his body.

Li Guanqi also discovered a very terrible thing.

"It... is sucking my blood!!"

Gradually, an extremely powerful consciousness rushed into Li Guanqi's sea of consciousness, attempting to usurp the nest!

Li Guanqi's consciousness looked at the blurry blood-colored phantom in front of him, and without the slightest hesitation, mobilized his divine sense in an attempt to suppress the opponent.

But the other party was like a maggot attached to the bone, scurrying around in the sea of consciousness.

Gradually, Li Guanqi felt that his memories were being gnawed away by something, and faces gradually disappeared.

Ye Feng's face was suddenly gnawed off a piece.

However, at this moment, Li Guanqi, wearing a ghost mask on his face and standing in the secret room, suddenly woke up!!!

Li Guanqi's remaining consciousness was furious!!!

An astonishing pressure erupted from Li Guanqi's body in a fit of rage.

Li Guanqi's furious voice resounded throughout the secret chamber!!!

The fear of the gradual disappearance of the memories of loved ones made Li Guanqi extremely angry.

Boom!!!!

"You! Bastard!"

"Do you know what you are doing!!!!!"

Boom!!!!

Immortal essence went berserk, Li Guanqi flipped his toes and held Red Lotus in his hand.

Without hesitation, he inserted it into the gap between his cheek and the mask!!!

This sword directly shaved off his nose and mouth.

The long sword pierced through his cheek and the mask, and Li Guanqi's arm transformed into dragon scales, actually forcibly tearing half of the mask off!!!

"With just you... wanting to... control... me!!!"

Tear!!

Half of Li Guanqi's face was torn off raw, the flesh was blurred but connected to the blood-colored tentacles!!

"No... don't!!!"
