The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve. Interesting, very interesting."

Completely unleashing his power, he wielded his twin swords, unleashing an even denser and more terrifying barrage of sword light that instantly sliced ​​the fire phoenix away, causing it to vanish without a trace.

Xiaoman's blood surged, and she thought to herself, "Is this what realm suppression is?"

His eyes sharpened, and he focused all his power on the Bloodthirsty Sword, "Take my strongest move. The Shadowless Wind Chasing Sword Technique, third form, Phoenix Soars Across the World!"

A louder, more intense bird cry rang out, shaking the very soul.

The middle-aged man frowned slightly. "Young man, I didn't expect you to have so many extraordinary encounters."

His lips slowly curved upwards, and he nodded slightly.

With the sword in his left hand pointing upwards, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and a cloud appeared out of thin air.

The clouds were churning.

With his right hand holding the sword downwards, the clouds collided, scattering raindrops the size of beans.

This is no ordinary rain; it is formed from the Force. If you are hit by it, you will either die or be seriously injured.

Boom! Thud!

The once indestructible ground has become pitted and uneven.

Xiaoman's expression was solemn as she fully unleashed her power, and the Fire Phoenix took shape, standing proudly in the air like a powerful ruler surveying the world.

He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of pure flame, vaporizing countless raindrops.

A glint of light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and the evolution accelerated, with the rain becoming heavier and heavier.

Water and fire are inherently incompatible, and when the two of them pushed their limits, they clashed fiercely in mid-air.

Pop!

The Fire Phoenix shattered, and Xiaoman suffered a backlash, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

A jet of primal force, like a column of water, cleaved down from above.

He dodged quickly, using "Walking on the Wind" and "God of Slaughter's One-Slash" in quick succession to barely avoid the attack.

Boom! Thud!

The ground trembled, and a bottomless crater appeared.

Xiaoman clicked her tongue in amazement. "If this thing landed on you, you probably wouldn't even leave a trace."

The middle-aged man nodded. "Your strength has earned my approval. From now on, you are a member of the Black Fiend Hall."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Azure Dragon Token in his arms began to buzz.

Meanwhile, the Vermilion Bird Token hidden in the spatial bag trembled continuously and released its purest power, incinerating various items.

The middle-aged man was shocked and immediately released him.

The Vermilion Bird Token transformed into a streak of red light and rushed directly in front of Xiaoman.

Click!

The Black Fiend Token couldn't withstand its pressure, and cracks appeared before it shattered.

The middle-aged man could hardly believe his eyes; his mouth was agape, and he stood frozen in place.

A few seconds later, he recovered from his shock and gave a thumbs up. "Young man, you're amazing! You actually managed to get the Vermilion Bird Token to willingly acknowledge you as its master."

A wildly joyful smile spread across his face. "Young man, what's your name?"

"Xiaoman." He cupped his hands and bowed.

"I'll remember you." The middle-aged man was very excited.

"Senior, how should I address you?"

"I am Xue Lang, the deputy hall master of the Black Fiend Hall. This is merely a trace of my aura."

Xue Lang's smile faded, his expression turning solemn. "Xiao Man, now that you've gained the Vermilion Bird Token's approval, I also need to explain the rules of the Black Fiend Palace to you."

Xiaoman stared at him and nodded.

"Don't let our name fool you, we are the most righteous people in the world." Blood Wave smiled proudly. "Our temple has only one purpose: to eradicate all evil in the world. Wherever evil appears, we will be there."

Furthermore, this Vermilion Bird Token is no ordinary item; it is not only a symbol of the Vermilion Bird Hall Master's status, but also grants command over all Black Fiend Token holders.

Xiaoman's expression remained largely unchanged.

Xuelang was even more impressed. "To have such a mindset at such a young age, his future achievements are immeasurable. Before you leave, I'd like to give you something."

With a flick of his hand, he tossed out a spatial bag.

"There are things you need inside, and some trinkets that I don't need. Consider it a gift from me, the deputy hall master, to you!" Blood Wave's figure dimmed. "Little Man, until we meet again."

Until we meet again!

After bowing, Xuelang's body rapidly dissipated.

At the same time, something slipped out of his body and silently entered Xiaoman's spatial bag.

Xiaoman's attention was completely focused on Xuelang, and she didn't notice anything amiss.

Half a minute later.

"Even a wisp of their aura almost killed me, sigh!" Xiaoman smiled bitterly. "The yellow shadow is right, this world is very mysterious. I just don't know what realm these two powerful figures are at, seven stars? Eight stars? Or perhaps nine stars?"

Lost in thought...

Xiaoman didn't know how much time had passed before she returned to reality. "Let's see what good things Xuelang gave me."

Opening the spatial bag, one finds a variety of cultivation techniques, medicines, weapons, and armor neatly arranged inside, a dazzling array.

He randomly pulled out an ancient longsword from inside, and with a light swing, the sound of wind and thunder arose, leaving long scratches on the ground.

"Damn, Bloodwave is so rich!"

"I should have extorted some other good stuff from them."

If Xuelang heard this, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood, because he didn't pay attention when he gave Xiaoman the space bag and gave her all the treasures of his life.

The more he searched, the more alarmed he became, and he burst into carefree laughter, "The Vice Hall Master is so generous, giving me only priceless treasures. I must thank him properly when I see him in the future."

at the same time.

The essence left behind by the blood wave returned to its original body, and after merging, it learned about Xiaoman's situation.

He laughed heartily with great satisfaction.

"For thousands of years, we have finally found someone who can succeed the head of the Vermilion Bird Hall! Haha!"

His laughter faded to a bitter expression at the end. "Sigh, where will the Azure Dragon Hall Master go to search this time?"

He slowly opened his spatial bag, but couldn't find the Azure Dragon Token.

"Huh, where did they go?"

He searched through all his spatial bags but couldn't find it. Just as he was feeling frustrated, the items inside the spatial bags flashed before his eyes, startling him.

Upon double-checking, I discovered that all my treasured possessions, which I had collected for many years, were gone.

"Damn it." Blood Wave rushed to the door, then suddenly stopped. A faint smile appeared on his ugly face. "Since we gave it to the little girl, there's no reason to ask for it back. Oh well, let's see what fate has in store for this little girl. Maybe she can find us the next Azure Dragon Hall Master."

That being said, I get a real headache every time I think about my precious possession.

......

One day later.

Xiaoman had arrived at another starry sky, and even before she got close, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Even before we've descended, we can already feel the deathly aura emanating from this star field." His brow furrowed slightly. "Could this be the lair of the Ghost Beast race, the E'yun Star System?"

He shook his head, comparing the parchment to the scroll.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and I slowly passed through the atmosphere.

Even through the fighter jet, that suffocating aura of death could penetrate your body.

By circulating internal energy, the death energy was dispersed, and the discomfort disappeared.

I didn't notice the depletion of my internal energy for a short time; I only felt it when it was depleted to two levels.

He took out a bottle of recovery medicine from Bloodwave's spatial bag and swallowed one.

The internal energy is rapidly recovering.

With this layer of protection, Xiaoman became much bolder and accelerated towards the ground.

A few minutes later, it landed safely.

As I stepped out of the hatch, I was so shocked my jaw almost dropped. "Such a huge planet, with nothing but rocks and dirt. It seems this trip will be fraught with danger, and I need to be fully prepared."

Take any items that might come in handy and explore ahead.

The ground was soft, somewhat like quicksand, but people didn't sink in.

We walked nervously for almost an hour.

"That mountain should be the place recorded on the parchment." After estimating the distance, he smiled wryly. "It would take at least ten days to get there. Forget it, I'll just go back and fly my fighter jet and land near it."

In the blink of an eye, he changed his mind.

Judging from the density of the death aura, the fighter jet would suffer irreversible damage if it got close.

Continue exploring.

Xiaoman was exhausted after walking for an unknown amount of time, so she had to stop and rest.

"This place is too strange; it's best not to touch anything nearby."

He pulled out a boat-like object from the space bag given to him by Blood Wave and lay down on it to rest.

If Xuelang were here, he would stare wide-eyed, trembling all over, and vomiting blood continuously.

Xiaoman, however, was leisurely drinking water and chewing on dried meat inside.

Suddenly, a 'squeak' sound came from the northwest.

The sound wasn't loud, nor was it carried by the wind, so Xiaoman didn't hear it.

As the sound grew louder, he suddenly sat up.

They quickly put away the large ship and cautiously surveyed their surroundings.

Woo, woo!

A group of ugly, black-bodied, half-meter-tall humanoid creatures appeared.

Meanwhile, creatures also appeared in the other three directions.

Xiaoman was surrounded in the center.

"Wah la ji gu gu gu!" A creature gestured wildly, its eyes blazing with murderous intent.

I couldn't understand this indigenous language at all.

Interstellar common language: "What do you want?"

Everyone looked completely bewildered.

An elderly man with completely white hair and beard stepped out from the crowd and said, "Hand over the treasure."

Although the words were spoken with a heavy indigenous accent, Xiaoman could barely understand them. A smile appeared on her lips, and she squinted her eyes, "What if I don't give it to you?"

"Then, die!" The old man stammered for a long time before finally uttering those three words.

People nearby rushed over.

Xiaoman could sense that although these people looked short, they were very strong. A strong killing intent flashed in their eyes as they swept their bloodthirsty swords across the room.

ah!

Ahh!

Within two meters in front of him lay countless corpses.

"Kill her, kill her!" (Indigenous language)

More strong warriors charged in.

Xiaoman wasn't afraid of their individual strength, but when they were combined, they were quite terrifying. She immediately rushed towards the weakest point in the encirclement.

With a swift stroke of the sword, the encirclement was broken.

"Seal off the surrounding area; we absolutely cannot let her escape." (Indigenous language)

A deep, muffled bugle call sounded.

Enemies kept emerging from underground.

They were even uglier than the people before them, looking exactly like hellish demons.

Feeling uneasy, I focused all my efforts on protecting myself.

The number of ugly creatures increased, and the area was completely surrounded.

Xiaoman was furious. Flames ignited on the Bloodthirsty Sword, and a fire phoenix gradually took shape.

With a loud cry, it frightened the creatures in front of it, causing them to retreat hastily.

The force was too great, pushing over the back row and causing a stampede that resulted in numerous deaths and injuries.

"Go to hell!"

The Fiery Phoenix was unleashed, and the surrounding area was instantly engulfed in flames, with hideous creatures struggling and howling in agony.

Seeing all this, Xiaoman felt a pang of pity and refrained from increasing her output.

This gave another group of people the opportunity to get close.

Countless deformed weapons aimed directly at vital points.

He dodged repeatedly, then attacked without restraint, and hordes of ugly creatures fell...
