CHAPTER 375: CHAPTER 163: MASSIVE BRAWL! CHEN MO: SECT MASTER BURNING BEAUTY, NO INTERJECTIONS! (8K)

In the vast black swamp, two figures floated and sank in the mud.

Yu Hongyin had a cluster of reeds stuck in her hair, while the little maid’s head was covered by a hollowed-out tree root.

The two disguised themselves as plants, restraining their breaths. With the cover of the miasma, even Divine Sense would find it hard to detect anything unusual.

Yu Hongyin’s fair little face was smeared with mud, her eyes fixed on the distant crowd, her brows slightly furrowed, "Something feels off..."

The little maid whispered, "What’s wrong, Holy Daughter, what seems off?"

Yu Hongyin pondered, "Fu Li is naturally cunning and suspicious. With the Sky Scale Guard making such a big commotion, he’s surely aware that he’s surrounded. If so, why would he run to this Sky Miasma Abyss? This action is nothing short of seeking death, unless..."

The little maid asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless he did it intentionally, wanting to lure people here. What exactly is his plan?"

The more Yu Hongyin thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

With a hand gesture, the two of them silently retreated...

Just as they backed three zhang away, a conflict suddenly erupted!

Chen Mo forcefully struck, tearing Xu Chengbi’s skin and revealing the small and frail figure inside.

Fu Li’s betrayal of the sect happened decades ago; neither of them had seen him in person, but even so, they could sense a familiar aura.

Anyone who practiced Netherworld Sect’s magic would have Yin Yang Qi inside; appearances can change, but the aura can’t be faked!

"It’s him, indeed!"

The two exchanged a glance, their expressions excited.

Now, as long as Chen Mo could hold him off until the sect elders arrived, they would surely capture this beast!

However, what happened next went far beyond what they expected.

First, Ling Ningzhi unleashed a terrifying Thunder Technique, killing all the Mo Lin Crocodiles and striking "Fu Li" into ashes in the process.

Then, Chen Mo, wielding a saber, tore Bai Lingchuan’s skin apart.

He then used the Escape Talisman to pass through the Devouring Element Blood Melting Array, piercing through Fu Li’s true form with a spear...

"..."

Yu Hongyin watched in bewilderment, her throat somewhat dry.

The strength these two exhibited was even greater than during the Heavenly Element Martial Examination!

Though she herself ranked seventh on the Cloud Top Ranking, the gap between her and Chen Mo, and Qingxuan was staggeringly vast, leaving her with a sense of defeat.

"These two monsters..."

Just then, the little maid pointed into the distance, her voice urgent, "Holy Daughter, look over there!"

Yu Hongyin fixed her gaze to see a bronze disc high above in the colorful flames, remaining undamaged by the fierce fire.

"Erosion Light Hourglass!"

Yu Hongyin’s eyes lit up abruptly.

The Netherworld Sect went to such lengths to hunt down Fu Li, not just to clean up the sect, more importantly, it was to retrieve this Sect Treasure!

"Get ready, to go!"

"But the sect reinforcements haven’t arrived yet..."

"Opportunities cannot be missed, we can’t wait any longer! I’m going to grab the Erosion Light Hourglass, you stop Bai Lingchuan!"

"Yes!"

Just as the two were about to act, a red light suddenly gleamed in the mist, shooting towards the center of the battlefield like lightning!

Yu Hongyin was startled at the sight.

There were others hiding in this swamp?!

But now, with the arrow already on the bowstring, she must act. Her figure swiftly darted towards the Erosion Light Hourglass, flying over the ground.

Fortunately, that mysterious person wasn’t vying for the Magical Treasure...

Their target seemed to be Chen Mo?

...

Bai Lingchuan was just about to step forward when a figure blocked his path.

The little maid’s eyes were cold as she said sternly, "Bai Lingchuan, how dare you betray the Netherworld Sect?"

"Ha, it was just mutual utilization, how could it be betrayal?" Bai Lingchuan scoffed at her appearance, saying with a cold laugh, "Old man doesn’t have much time left, just making a final gamble. Do you think the name of the Eight Great Sect can scare me?"

The little maid frowned, "Don’t you want the Immortal Plant to extend your life?"

"The life of this old man can’t be saved by a few Immortal Plants. The only hope is to use this Erosion Light Hourglass... cough, cough..."

As Bai Lingchuan spoke, he began to cough violently, a trace of black blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Back when he forcefully attempted to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm and failed, it resulted in the collapse of the Three Gates and Nine Acupoints, damaging his foundation and drastically reducing his lifespan.

Barring any unexpected events, he likely wouldn’t survive past next year.

The so-called Life-extending Elixir was of no use to him at all.

His body now was like a leaking iron bucket; adding water was just a temporary fix, addressing the symptoms but not the root cause. Only by sealing the leaks, could the problem be truly solved.

But to reshape the body is as hard as ascending to heaven, even a Daoist Venerable or Buddha might not have such means.

Aside from that, there was another way, which was to use the Erosion Light Hourglass to forcefully reverse the body’s condition.

The Erosion Light Hourglass, as the Witch Sect’s supreme treasure, has the power to distort Yin and Yang and alter life and death. As long as the body’s condition could be reverted to the state before attempting the Heavenly Human Realm, the damaged foundation could fully recover!

Yet such a heaven-defying method comes at a steep cost. According to Fu Li, every inch of time reversal requires a hundred years of Yang life to be preemptively drawn!

The good news was, that the consumed Yang life need not be one’s own.

That was why Fu Li had been recklessly slaughtering civilians over the years—

Only by obtaining sufficient Essence Blood could the true power of the Erosion Light Hourglass be unleashed!

Using the information provided by the Netherworld Sect, Bai Lingchuan connected with Fu Li, and the two swiftly came to an agreement!

As a gesture of sincerity, Bai Lingchuan not only personally slaughtered the civilians within the Thousand-foot Stone Screen but also allowed Fu Li to plant a Blood Curse in his body...

All that he did was to stay alive!

"The Erosion Light Hourglass, I must have it, and anyone who dares to stop me will die!" Bai Lingchuan said, holding a heavy hammer, with True Yuan surging into it. His full head of white hair danced wildly in the fierce gale like silver snakes!
