"Ah!!!"

    A heart-wrenching scream came from the man''s mouth.

    He looked at his palmless arms, his eyes intertwined with fear and disbelief.

    "You!!"

    "You!!!" He looked at Xu Han and seemed to want to say something, but the words that followed came to an abrupt halt.

    A bloody light streaked across the dim forest, and a bloody scar appeared on his neck.

    Then, blood sprayed out, splashing down on Xu Han''s clothes, and the man''s body suddenly fell to the ground at that moment.

    Ye Hongjian , who was already prepared to die, stared blankly at all of this. She looked at the man''s collapsed body and Xu Han, whose eyes were completely bathed in blood. At that time, she was inexplicably absent-minded.

    And what about Xu Han?

    After killing the man, his tight body did not relax.

    His eyes were still bloodshot, the muscles and blood vessels around him were still bulging high, and even the purple demonic energy around him was still becoming denser with the passage of time.

    With Xu Han''s cultivation at the Diamond Realm, could he really defeat the Asura Envoy at the Violet Firmament Realm?

    No matter who asked this question, anyone with some common sense would be able to give an answer of no.

    But Xu Han did.

    This was not because of how talented he was, nor was it because of how exquisite his swordsmanship was.

    In the face of absolute power, these things seemed to be pale and powerless.

    To defeat this Asura Envoy was actually very simple. As long as your strength is stronger than his, the edge of your sword will be sharper than his body.

    Xu Han had the vicious sword Xingtian that the world was chasing in his hand. His right arm was the arm of a Great Monster Saint who had been suppressed by the Ancient Era''s Immortals for more than 4,000 years. The distance between the Diamond Realm and the Violet Firmament Realm would instantly become insignificant whenever Xu Han activated the two.

    However, Xing Tian Sword and Canghai Liu didn''t give him any methods to activate it. Until now, this sword in Xu Han''s hand hadn''t shown any strangeness.

    As for that demon arm, Xu Han knew very well that once it was used, the surging demon energy within it would instantly devour him.

    Doing so was no different from courting death, and Xu Han could not do it.

    Fortunately, the Demon Arm contained the boundless demonic energy left behind by the Demon Clan Great Saint, as well as the demonic energy Xu Han had absorbed for the Black Cat these past few days.

    Because he had lost the Asura Technique''s subsequent cultivation method, Xu Han did not use this demonic power. Instead, he relied on this demonic arm to store it. He originally wanted to wait until he found the Asura Technique''s subsequent cultivation method before using it. But just now, the situation was critical. Once Ye Hongjian was killed, not only would he not be able to go to the Exquisite Pavilion, even his life and that of the black cat would be threatened.

    Helplessly, Xu Han could only use those demonic powers to pour them into his limbs and bones, hoping to be able to fight against the Purple-clothed Asura Envoy.

    In fact, Xu Han had indeed accomplished it. The demonic energy stored in the past year was extremely vast. The power erupted from it instantly dismounted the Asura Envoy.

    However, there was a saying that it was easy to ask Buddha to give Buddha away.

    After killing the Asura Envoy, boundless demonic energy began to flow within Xu Han''s body, as if they had ravaged the body of a black cat.

    Xu Han wanted to use his demon arm to absorb it back, but the wreaking havoc of demon energy had almost caused him to lose the little bit of control he had over his arm. If he forcefully used it, the gains would not be worth the losses. He would release all the remaining demonic energy in his demonic arm at the same time.

    Ye Hongjian also noticed Xu Han''s strange behavior at that time. She struggled to stand up and wanted to check Xu Han''s situation, but Xu Han seemed to have sensed Ye Hongjian''s intentions. He turned around and glared fiercely at Ye Hongjian. Ye Hongjian''s body trembled because of the cold killing intent in Xu Han''s eyes. She was stunned on the spot and did not dare to step forward. She could only carefully observe Xu Han''s situation from the side.

    The wreaking havoc of demonic energy in his body caused endless pain to Xu Han. His mind began to become blurry, and his mind was filled with a violent aura. He wanted to tear everything in front of him apart, but he struggled to suppress this thought. This caused his brain to feel intense pain.

    The rampage of demonic energy in his body made him suffer even more. He had to neutralize this demonic energy, otherwise, the outcome waiting for him would be to be burst to death by the demonic energy.

    Thinking of this, Xu Han didn''t care about anything else. He immediately began to use his increasingly vague will to activate his body and begin to use the fists and feet taught in the Asura Technique.

    However, this technique was the first chapter of the Asura Technique. At Xu Han''s level, the effects of this technique had become negligible. In addition, the demonic energy in his body had accumulated for a year. How vast was it? How could this set of fists and feet be dispersed?

    A hundred breaths of time passed.

    The bloody light in Xu Han''s eyes became even more intense. Strange bursts of crimson red began to appear on the bulging muscles around his body. The bloody light beneath his cortex began to explode. This was the precursor to his body collapsing.

    Xu Han was also aware of this. He knew that if this continued, it would only delay his death by exploding slightly. It would not change his current situation at all.

    At this moment, his situation was exactly the same as the situation where the black cat had been wreaked havoc by these demonic powers.

    The black cat''s constitution was different. It would only be tortured by these demonic powers, but it was far from being burst to death. However, Xu Han was different. These demonic powers were not his. Therefore, his condition was much more troublesome and serious than the black cat''s.

    Xu Han waved his fists and feet, but his mind was constantly pondering how to solve this dilemma.

    Either vent this demonic energy, or absorb it.

    However, these demonic energies were so violent that Xu Han didn''t know how to release any internal energy. Even if he did, he would only be able to use them after obtaining the Netherpassage Realm. Hence, this path was a dead end for Xu Han.

    In that case, the only thing left was to absorb it.

    However, judging from the Asura Technique he mastered, wanting to absorb this demonic power with his physical body was also a fool''s dream.

    Just as things seemed to have fallen into a state of death, Xu Han suddenly thought of something.

    In his dantian, there was a seed called the Great Evolution Sword Seed.

    It was something left behind by the ocean currents in his body.

    According to the Great Evolution Sword Technique, under all kinds of swords, nourished with sword intent, internal force, and true essence, the sword seed took root, shoots grew from roots, shoots grew from buds, leaves grew from branches, and flowers formed from leaves.

    To a certain extent, the Great Evolution Sword Seed was a container. Cultivators continuously poured the nutrients he needed into this container, then it could promote the growth of the Great Evolution Sword Seed until it blossomed with seven petals and used the sword seed to create the Grand Dao.

    Whether it was internal force, true essence, or sword intent, they were all types of power.

    Although demonic power was somewhat different from it, it was essentially power.

    Xu Han did not know what would happen after injecting demonic power into the sword seed, but he was now at the end of his rope. Rather than waiting for death, he might as well give it a shot.

    Xu Han had never been a drag-and-drag person. Since he had made up his mind, he did not hesitate anymore.

    Immediately, he put away his fists and feet and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

    "Hu!"

    He took a deep breath, and the demonic energy around him was gathered by him at that time.

    "Go!"

    Along with a loud shout, all of the demonic energy in his body surged towards his dantian under his guidance.

    The meridians in Xu Han''s body were destroyed at an early age. The demon energies had no meridians to guide them, so they randomly collided in Xu Han''s body. Although they did rush to Xu Han''s dantian in the end, during this process, Xu Han''s internal organs were seriously damaged by the impact of the demon energies, so much so that traces of blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth.

    However, Xu Han remained unaware of this.

    His expression was gloomy and cold. With a thought in his heart, the sword seed hidden in the depths of his dantian slowly appeared.

    The so-called sword seed looked more like a sparkling and translucent dew droplet. Under Xu Han''s traction, he floated in Xu Han''s dantian, like a relic of the ocean.

    At that moment, Xu Han frowned, and the purple demonic energy that poured into his dantian flooded towards the sword seed like a wolf.

    Boom!

    A loud boom echoed in Xu Han''s mind.

    The sword seed started to tremble crazily as the demonic energy surged in, as if it could shatter at any moment.

    At that time, intense pain rose from his dantian. Xu Han felt as if his body was about to be torn apart. More and more blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth. In the end, it was to the point of spraying out.

    At that time, Ye Hongjian and the gradually recovering black cat wanted to go forward to check, but Xu Han stretched out his hand to stop them.

    He couldn''t be sure of his current situation, and he didn''t want to hurt them.

    The sword seed trembled even more intensely, and the enormous pain caused Xu Han to almost faint.

    He was almost relying on his own will to support himself.

    The pain continued to spread, causing Xu Han to faint several times. However, he kept warning himself that once he fainted, he might not wake up again.

    He doesn''t want to die.

    He wants to live.

    This obsession supported Xu Han.

    Time seemed to have slowed down.

    Every minute and every second was a torment for Xu Han.

    His entire body had already been dyed red by the fresh blood gushing out of his skin. Blood spilled out, scabbed, spilled out, scabbed again. This process was repeated countless times. This scene caused Ye Hongjian , who was standing at the side, to be shocked. In the end, she almost couldn''t bear to continue watching and turned her head to the side.

    The sky had already turned white, and the night had passed like this.

    Xu Han sat on the spot like an old monk. Below him was the blood of tears, as if he had already flowed all the blood in his body.

    But at that moment, Xu Han, who had been sitting there all night without moving, suddenly trembled.

    The demonic energy in his body finally surged into the sword seed. The boundless demonic energy dyed the sparkling sword tomb into a strange purple color.

    At that moment, tiny threads of threads slowly extended out from the sword seed.

    It was like a willow branch that relaxed after the spring rain, and it was also like a tender sprout that grew out of ashes after the wildfire had burned down.

    Small and fragile.

    He was also unbridled and reckless.

    That''s the root of the sword seed.

    Yes.

    Xu Han''s sword seed took root.
