"What should I do? What should I do?" Qiao Xiaoxue panicked completely, her voice trembling with tears.

Fang Xin forced himself to calm down, his mind flashing through slides: "Left diagonal, full-power slash!"

"oh!"

Qiao Xiaoxue was too flustered and could only exert less than four-tenths of her strength, but the mountain wall remained completely still.

"Step aside, I'll handle this!"

Fang Xin pushed his power to its limit, countless tadpole-like characters rippled across his body, and he slashed down with his sword.

boom!

The mountain wall was breached, with a gap several meters deep.

"Again!"

Another sword fell, but it still failed to pierce through it.

"I don't believe it."

Sheathed his longsword, rushed inside, and pounded it with his fists.

The mountainside trembled, and stone chips kept falling.

"Brute force won't work; we have to use a sword."

When Fang Xin gripped the longsword, his hands were already covered in blood. The pain made his mouth twitch, and he thought to himself, "For Xiaoxue's sake, I have to endure the pain no matter how much it hurts."

It struck the mountainside again, this time breaking through less than two meters.

The backflow of water had reached up to my thighs.

"We can't wait any longer; we must intensify our efforts."

The Tai Xuan Scripture had been activated to its limit, unleashing a continuous barrage of sword energy.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck.

He channeled his power into the longsword and swung it gently.

A golden aura appeared, followed by a series of dragon roars.

The powerful golden dragon crashed into the mountain wall.

This time, a passage nearly five meters wide was created.

Seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, Fang Xin worked even harder.

"Honey, let me help you."

Qiao Xiaoxue rushed behind Fang Xin and injected her inner energy into his body.

Working together, the two covered a distance of nearly twenty meters in just three attempts.

"We should be breaking through soon. Hang in there, hold on." Fang Xin used all his strength continuously, his head was spinning and his steps were unsteady, but when he thought of Qiao Xiaoxue behind him, his eyes refocused.

He unleashed a full-force sword strike.

boom!

The mountain wall was completely pierced.

Fang Xin felt a sense of relief. He knelt on the ground, the water already covering his cheeks.

"husband!"

Qiao Xiaoxue was quite frightened and quickly picked him up and rushed towards the exit.

With one person on board, they were completely unable to withstand the force of the surging water and were swept outside the mouth.

Below is a deep pool.

"I absolutely cannot let my husband get hurt again."

Just as his body was about to touch the water, he immediately changed direction and his back slammed heavily onto the water.

The intense pain nearly made Qiao Xiaoxue faint.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Fang Xin, who was about to faint.

"drink!"

Pull him with all your might and swim towards the shore.

About ten minutes later.

Qiao Xiaoxue finally brought Fang Xin to the shore, but she was completely exhausted.

Their legs were immersed in the pool.

Suddenly, the Tai Xuan Jing began to operate uncontrollably, forming a layer of dazzling tadpole-like characters on the body's surface.

It spins rapidly.

The water in the pool was carried away, forming a whirlpool.

Buzz!

The tadpole-like characters began to merge, transforming into an even more mysterious form.

Fang Xin suddenly opened his eyes, a look of wild joy flashing in them, and quickly looked at Qiao Xiaoxue.

"Honey, my wife!"

She slowly woke up.

"Reverse the Tai Xuan Scripture, quickly."

"Um!"

Fang Xin activated his power positively, and the tadpole-shaped patterns emanated supreme righteous energy; Qiao Xiaoxue's body, on the other hand, emanated an extremely feminine aura.

The two auras quickly intertwined.

They flow continuously within the body, and the injured areas are constantly healing.

This process takes a while to explain, but it only took about ten seconds at the time.

Both of them could hardly believe their eyes.

"Discard distractions and push it with all your might!"

"good!"

Their minds and bodies became clear and empty, the speed of the tadpole-shaped script increased, and their cultivation levels soared, one after the other entering the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.

......

Half an hour later.

Fang Xin and Qiao Xiaoxue opened their eyes at the same time and smiled at each other.

"Unexpectedly, this misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise, and we both achieved breakthroughs one after another." Qiao Xiaoxue was very happy.

"Yes!" Fang Xin grinned from ear to ear. "If we told outsiders about our cultivation speed, wouldn't they be astonished?"

“Yes!” Qiao Xiaoxue said earnestly.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something flicker.

Even with her current level of understanding, she couldn't see it clearly, which shows how strange this thing is.

"stop!"

Fang Xin immediately stopped smiling and followed beside him.

The two pursued him relentlessly.

We arrived at a large place. There was a stone table directly in front of us, a bed to our right, and many other household items nearby.

"How could anyone live here?" Qiao Xiaoxue was puzzled.

"Let's take a look first."

Fang Xin had only taken two steps when a deep voice rang out: "Stop!"

A white ape came into view.

He stood in front of Qiao Xiaoxue, very wary, "You can talk?"

A cold killing intent flashed in the white ape's eyes. "Two more old thieves are coming to their deaths."

A layer of mist rose from the body and rushed out rapidly.

It was so fast that Fang Xin had barely raised his longsword when it rushed to his side.

Claw shadows filled the sky, and the surroundings were sealed off.

"What a powerful white ape." Qiao Xiaoxue's expression was solemn as she fully activated the Tai Xuan Scripture, causing tadpole-like patterns to appear on her body.

At the same time, tadpole-like characters lit up on Fang Xin's body.

With the addition of double tadpole-like patterns, the claw shadow shattered.

The white ape was quite frightened and retreated repeatedly, a look of seriousness flashing in its eyes.

With a backhand swipe, a long spear flew from afar.

As soon as it began to dance, ripples spread through the void.

Qiao Xiaoxue was blasted away.

Fang Xin was also sent flying backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his expression grave.

"Combined!"

The two men clasped hands, and the tadpole-like characters transformed into yin and yang, with the two energies circulating, giving rise to a Tai Chi diagram.

Huge ripples spread through the nearby void, as if it were about to crack open at any moment.

A look of terror flashed in the white ape's eyes. It swiftly brandished its spear, sending a spear beam hundreds of meters long piercing towards the Tai Chi diagram.

Buzz!

boom......

The gas explosion tore through space, and turbulent currents raged.

Fang Xin was prepared and rushed to a safe location with Qiao Xiaoxue.

The white ape was struck by the turbulent current, sparks flew from its body, and a layer of black armor appeared.

"Hiss!" Qiao Xiaoxue stared intently at the armor. "What a treasure! It can actually withstand spatial turbulence."

Fang Xin knew exactly what she was thinking: "Kill it and take the treasure!"

"OK!"

The two exchanged a smile and pushed the Tai Xuan Scripture to its limit. The Tai Chi diagram became larger than before, and its oppressive aura spread rapidly.

The white ape had already escaped the turbulent area, its eyes flashing with deep hatred as it roared loudly.

"Now that you know of its existence, you must die."

Buzz!

The spear was enveloped in a yellow aura, and huge ripples immediately spread around it.

The yin-yang tadpole-shaped characters spun rapidly, gradually becoming stable around them.

"die!"

The white ape thrust out its spear, and a spear beam dozens of feet long rushed towards them.

The Tai Chi diagram, however, absorbed it directly, like a vast ocean.

"You, you guys?" Disbelief and fear flashed in the white ape's eyes as fragmented memories began to reconstruct themselves.

An elderly man with a sage-like demeanor appeared.

"Ape, if one day you encounter a couple who know the Tai Xuan Scripture, give them the armor. Remember this, remember this!"

"Luckily I remembered this matter, otherwise I would have failed my ancestor."

He put away the secret technique, stepped aside, and said, "Stop, I have something to say."

Fang Xin stepped forward, very wary, "You monkey, don't even think about playing tricks."

The white ape gave a bitter smile, quickly tapped his chest, and the black armor fell off, hovering in mid-air.

"This item is called the Black Scale Dragon Armor. I have finally found its master, and I will now retire with my mission accomplished."

After handing over the armor, he turned and left.

"After waiting for hundreds of years, I can finally live a carefree life! Good, good, good!"

A white shadow flashed and disappeared.

"Hey, wait!" Qiao Xiaoxue chased after the spot where it disappeared.

“It doesn’t want to have much interaction with us. Come back!” Fang Xin examined the Black Scale Dragon Armor, his brows furrowing and relaxing at times. “What kind of treasure is this?”

Even when I tried to inject internal energy, it didn't react at all.

"How can I take it away?"

Fang Xin's mind raced as he tried to come up with a solution.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared before my eyes, and I cut my finger, dripping blood.

Black light emanated from the black-scaled dragon armor, accompanied by bursts of dragon roars.

"There's hope!"

As more blood was squeezed out, the dragon's roar became even clearer.

"This?" Qiao Xiaoxue covered her mouth, her eyes wide, stunned on the spot.

A few seconds later, a golden light shone on the wall.

"You've finally arrived, my destined one." said an old man with a sage-like demeanor.

Fang Xin rubbed his eyes. "Aren't you the old sage who appeared in the Amazon rainforest?"

The old man smiled, stroked his beard, and nodded.

"This item was an unexpected find for me, and it will be of great benefit to you." His smile faded. "Remember, although this item is valuable, you must find the Misty Raincoat to suppress it. Remember, remember!"

Where can I find it?

"It will tell you after the Black Scale Dragon Armor recognizes its master."

The old man brandished his whisk, his smile deepening as his body gradually became ethereal.

"The task of upholding justice is now entrusted to you. I am leaving."

The old man disappeared, and golden light rapidly flowed into the black-scaled dragon armor.

As the last glimmer of golden light disappeared, the armor trembled and flew toward Fang Xin.

Buzz!

The armor was put on, its color gradually fading until it disappeared completely.

"This thing can hide?"

"Wow, what a treasure!" Qiao Xiaoxue touched Fang Xin's body, feeling the fabric against her skin. "Even the corpse has disappeared?"

Fang Xin quickly checked and found it to be true.

"That would be even better, so as to avoid attracting the attention of thieves."

"Yes!"

As the two held hands, they simultaneously received a message: "The ethereal raincoat is in the Yinfeng Valley!"

“Just from the name, I know it’s a very ominous place. Should we go?” Qiao Xiaoxue asked Fang Xin.

"The old immortal said that the Black Scale Dragon Armor must be suppressed by the Misty Raincoat, otherwise the consequences will be severe." Fang Xin's eyes became resolute. "Let's get out of here first, then find Yin Feng Ao."

"I'll listen to you!"

They left in the direction the white ape had gone...

After they completely disappeared, a large opening appeared in the mountain wall, and the old man walked out with a smile.

stroking his beard and looking at the exit, he said, "These two are of good character and temperament; they didn't even take the divine weapons that were with them!"

The smile on his face grew wider and wider...

On the other side.

Li Tianyi had reached the end of the downstream section, but he couldn't find a way out.

"What a terrible place! We're doomed."

His gaze moved rapidly, finally settling on the northwest.

"This is the only place we haven't searched yet."

He drew his Po Jun sword and slowly approached.

When I was about five meters away from the tree, a bad feeling suddenly rose in my heart, and I quickly stepped back.

Pop!

An invisible force struck the previous spot, slicing a long gash in the ground.

With a furrowed brow and a grave expression, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a minor secret realm."

Everything I couldn't understand before, I now understand.

With my eyes closed, images of the downstream area kept flashing through my mind.

Suddenly, the scene freezes on the place where the Styx Ancestor is strangled.

"The real exit was near the corpse."

They rushed to the crash site.

The closer I got, the more uneasy I felt, and I looked around warily.

The river current on the left slope is becoming faster.

A vortex forms rapidly.

"Who would have thought that the real exit was actually in the River Styx?"

Li Tianyi gave a bitter smile and pulled out several sets of mechs. "Whether we can get out of here alive depends on you guys."

Don the mech suit and jump into the vortex.

The power inside was extremely strange; sparks flew as soon as the mech touched the water.

"When it comes to family wealth, I've never been afraid of anyone."

The three mechs completely enveloped the surroundings, unleashing their full internal energy, and charged into the center of the vortex like arrows released from a bow...
