Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

The sword-shaped mark suddenly lit up, and the dazzling red light flickered wantonly in the inky darkness, as if it was the devil's mockery, instantly tearing the brief peace in the field into pieces.

Seeing the red light, everyone's expression suddenly changed.

To be honest, since they were branded with the Soul-Hunting Mark, they all knew that the people from the Weapon-Forging Sect would definitely follow them by smelling the scent.

But the problem is, no one expected it to come so soon!
"It looks like our landing point should be near the headquarters of the Weapon Casting Sect."

Shao Xinghan glanced at the glowing brand on his arm and frowned.

"No matter what, we cannot allow the fluctuations of this mark to be tracked."

Duan Haishan took the medicine for healing and recovery, and said in a deep voice:

"I have mastered a secret technique that can temporarily conceal the fluctuations of the brand, but it can only conceal the fluctuations. Once the enemy catches up to us, they can still find us. Moreover, the secret technique can only be used once a day, and it only lasts for one hour."

When everyone heard this, they immediately knew what he was worried about.

It can only be used once a day, which means you have to choose the right time to use it.

Whether to use it now or later is highly debatable.

"Let's use it now."

Shao Xinghan said calmly:
"We are all in the recovery period now. We have just landed in the unfamiliar environment of the Absolute Battlefield. We need to avoid fighting with unknown enemies as much as possible. During this hour, we can try to stay away from this place and find a safe place to stay.

If I'm lucky enough, I might be able to escape the Soul-Chasing Mark's tracking distance in this hour."

Guan Ruoyu nodded and said:

"I agree to use it now. After all, judging from the intensity of the red light, the other party should not be far away from here."

Ning Yan also responded:

"Seconded."

"Then it's settled."

Seeing that everyone had made their choice, Duan Haishan stopped delaying.

He formed seals with his hands quickly like a phantom, muttering something, and mysterious runes evolved from strong force jumped and flashed at his fingertips, as if an ancient spell was awakened.

As the runes emerged, a light blue light slowly rose from his palm like a wisp of mist, gently enveloping everyone. The originally dazzling and flashing sword-shaped brand gradually dimmed under the cover of this light, until it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, leaving only traces of the brand itself.

"Success."

Duan Haishan let out a long sigh, but the alertness on his face did not diminish in the slightest. His eyes were still scanning the surroundings as vigilantly as a hawk, not missing any potential danger:

"We only have one hour. We must race against time and leave this place as soon as possible."

Guan Ruoyu said in a deep voice:
"I have just cast a detection spell. The enemy is coming from the east. We need to evacuate to the west and try to avoid their pursuit."

Her voice was calm and firm, but the beads of sweat on her forehead revealed the nervousness and anxiety deep within.

Without any hesitation, everyone rushed towards the west with great speed, as if it were a storm.

The dry bones under my feet made a crisp crunching sound.

The black smoke around them seemed to be given life, entwining around them madly, baring its fangs and claws, trying to stop them.

The black smoke was icy cold, and each wisp was like an invisible tough rope, tightly wrapped around everyone's bodies, making it difficult to breathe, as if they were in an ice cellar.

Along the way, under Guan Ruoyu's guidance, they carefully avoided various potentially fatal dangers.

Until later, a few strange green flames rose up from the dry bones, floating like ghosts, emitting a disgusting stench, and quickly approaching them.

This is the soul-melting hellfire, which contains various fragments of consciousness. Once burned, it will quickly invade the consciousness space, confuse one's own consciousness, and make one crazy.

I don’t know how many newcomers have fallen into the gutter because they underestimated this small flame.

But after getting Guan Ruoyu's reminder, Ning Yan was not as vigilant as Shao Xinghan and Duan Haishan. Instead, under the surprised gaze of everyone, he slapped it away on the spot.

He rushed over again and slapped him again.

In the end, all the soul-melting hellfire that had gathered was actually sucked out by him.

Seeing this scene, Guan Ruoyu only felt incomprehensible, and then asked carefully:

"Is the consciousness space okay?"

"Hmm...I'm a little full."

Ning Yan couldn't even help but burp.

Everyone was suddenly speechless.

But no matter what, it's a good thing after all.

Just when they thought they had escaped the crisis for the time being, a tall and terrifying figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

The figure was shrouded in a layer of thick, inky black fog, and his face could not be seen clearly, as if he was a messenger from hell.

As the fog gradually dissipated, a terrifying tall and terrifying corpse appeared in front of everyone.

He was twice as tall as an ordinary man, like a little giant. The rotten armor on his body was full of holes, revealing the black rotten flesh that was emitting a faint glow. Black liquid kept dripping from the rotten flesh, corroding small pits on the ground that were emitting green smoke.

The corpse held a huge rusty battle axe in its right hand. Black liquid was flowing on the axe blade, which was condensed from the mist that had dissipated earlier.

"Be careful, this is the deputy commander of the Yin Corpse, whose strength is comparable to that of the early stage of the Myriad Realm."

Guan Ruoyu's face looked extremely ugly, and she sent a message to everyone.

Hearing this, Shao Xinghan and the others all looked very unhappy.

In the early stage of the Wanxiang Realm, if their team was all in peak condition, they could easily defeat this Yin Corpse Deputy Commander a dozen times.

But now, given their condition, if they really ran into the other side, there would be no chance of survival.

The deputy commander of the Yin Corpses seemed to sense their presence and let out a low and shocking roar. The sound was like a materialized surging sound wave, rushing towards everyone. The ground along the way was shaking violently, and cracks quickly spread around like a spider web.

"We can't fight head-on, we must find a way to escape!"

Duan Haishan shouted in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Shao Xinghan frowned slightly and swung his right hand forward.

Phantoms appeared quietly behind the crowd. The phantoms looked exactly like them. After appearing, they were silent for only a moment before fleeing in all directions. In the process of fleeing, other phantoms continued to emerge and then fled in other directions.

At the same time, everyone present rushed into a pit on the mountain on one side, using the terrain to hide their bodies.

There is no way, this place is too empty and there is no other place to hide.

However, they have not recovered yet, and if they try to escape by blending into the phantom, they may be accidentally injured and killed.

The deputy commander of the Yin Corpses who was rushing towards this side was attracted by the many phantoms that suddenly appeared in the field. His eyes wandered back and forth between the phantoms, as if he was hesitating which direction to chase.

Finally, a fierce roar suddenly broke out, and the surging sound waves scraped across a layer of the ground, directly shattering a dozen phantoms escaping from the left.

Then he let out a long howl, turned his head and flew in another direction, and all the fleeing phantoms exploded.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yan felt his scalp tingling:
"How can this Yin Corpse Deputy Commander be so strong?!"

Guan Ruoyu said helplessly:

"This is what the Wanxiang Realm is like."

Duan Haishan was silent.

I am also in the realm of all things.

"This guy is obviously corrupt, how can he still have such wisdom?"

Shao Xinghan couldn't help but curse. At this point, it seemed there was no other way, he could only pray that he didn't go this way.

However, God obviously had no mercy on them.

Soon they heard heavy footsteps approaching this side.

Hearing that voice, everyone's heart couldn't help but slowly rise.

Twenty feet.

Fifteen feet.

Ten feet.

……

Getting closer.

Getting closer.

Seeing that he was almost above her head, Guan Ruoyu's eyes showed a fierce struggle. Then she gritted her teeth, took out a jade pendant in her hand, and threw it into the sky.

After the jade pendant rushed into the sky, it immediately made a loud bang, like a meteorite-shattering golden bomb exploding on the spot. Along with the bang, dazzling golden light scattered in all directions.

Under the illumination of the golden light, the deputy commander of the Yin Corpses immediately let out a shrill scream. Thick black smoke came out of his whole body, and his flesh and blood began to rot. It was obvious that he would be unable to move for a short period of time.

"let's go!"

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, everyone tried their best to escape, running non-stop all the way, and finally got away from the terrifying deputy commander of the Yin corpse.

"Finally got rid of it."

Duan Haishan sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, his chest heaving violently.

Shao Xinghan also leaned against a huge rock with a tired look on his face.

Ning Yan held his knees and ran for a while, and he felt much better.

Among the crowd, only Guan Ruoyu had a bad look on her face.

This ugliness is not just because of the long journey just now.

Also because of that precious golden jade.

Golden Jade is a rare positive treasure that can be used to deal with many evil things such as corpses and evil spirits, and it can even save lives at critical moments.

But now it has been consumed because of the deputy commander of the Yin Corpse.

This is the last piece of golden jade on her body.

When Guan Ruoyu thought of this, her heart started bleeding.

But there is no other way. After all, we are now a community of interests and we cannot survive alone without others.

After finally calming down the pain in my heart, I heard Ning Yan ask:
"The one hour time is up, should we continue moving forward?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the soul-hunting mark on their bodies.

It was obvious that the soul-hunting mark was in an activated state, but the red light on the surface was only thin and looked insignificant.

But it was this thin red light that cast a gloom on everyone's mood.

This shows that they have not escaped the tracking range of the Soul-Hunting Brand.

It is very likely that in the distance, unknown to them, the strong men from the Weapon Casting Sect are still chasing after them.

When they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a strong pressure.

"go!"

Shao Xinghan spoke immediately and walked forward with great resolution.

The rest of the people stopped talking nonsense and followed, ready to recover while walking and not waste time by stopping.

When they passed a forest of strange-looking skeletons, they suddenly heard the sound of fierce fighting coming faintly from a valley in the distance.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It seems that the warriors are fighting with the Yin corpses."

Duan Haishan frowned and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"Could it be someone from the Weapon Casting Sect?" Shao Xinghan guessed.

The expressions of Ning Yan and others immediately became very solemn.

As Shao Xinghan guessed, this possibility is not impossible, although it is very small.

"Our own strength has not yet fully recovered. Going there rashly may not be a good thing."

Guan Ruoyu frowned and said in a deep voice.

Duan Haishan nodded and also expressed his objection:

"The factions of those warriors are unknown. They may be members of the Blood Killing Group, or they may be hostile sects."

"But if ordinary warriors are in danger, rescuing them may help solve our current predicament."

Ning Yan put forward his own opinion.

Guan Ruoyu immediately answered:
"Don't forget that their enemies are the Inferi. Although the Inferi are not as good as the Inferi Deputy Commander, if there are too many of them, we still won't be able to handle them."

After everyone discussed it, it was obvious that they had no intention of rescuing him.

Ning Yan saw this and suggested:

"How about this, let's not act rashly and wait to observe the scene before making a decision?"

After thinking about it, Duan Haishan and others nodded in agreement.

Shao Xinghan immediately sat down cross-legged, formed seals with his hands, and a faint light flew out from his forehead, leaving a faint trace and flew towards the direction of the battle, then condensed into a translucent eye.

There was a strange light in his eyes, and he began to describe the battle scene:

“It was a group of warriors in black clothes who were fighting against the Yin corpses. Those warriors were clearly at a disadvantage and were now surrounded by the Yin corpses.

There are about thirty Yin corpses, and there are only six warriors, most of whom are injured. Oh, and there are purple three-leaf plant patterns on their clothes. "

When Guan Ruoyu heard this, her expression suddenly became very surprised:

"The pattern of the purple clover? Are the leaves at the top shaped like a gourd?"

Shao Xinghan nodded and said:

“It does look like a gourd.”

"That's right," Guan Ruoyu regained her composure and said in a strange tone, "That's someone from my Spiritual Plant Sect. Now that we've run into him, we might as well go and rescue him."

After hearing this, Shao Xinghan and Duan Haishan no longer hesitated. After all, that was Guan Ruoyu's fellow disciple, which meant he was their potential ally.

"Since he is Miss Guan's fellow disciple, we can't just stand by and watch him die. Let's go."

Everyone immediately set off and rushed towards the direction of the battle.

When they arrived, they saw the battlefield in a mess, with broken corpses scattered all over the ground, including both beheaded Yin corpses and the corpses of warriors that looked very fresh.

However, the bodies of those dead warriors were all broken into pieces, as if they had been torn apart and devoured by monsters. Most of them still had expressions of fear on their faces, and it was obvious that they had suffered great pain before dying.

The remaining six people who were surrounded by the Yin corpses were like a small boat in a storm, ready to capsize at any time. (End of this chapter)
