at the same time.

Li Tianyi and others are interrogating a large group of moles.

"We've said what we needed to say." The mole leader, covered in blood and with unfocused eyes, struggled to lift his head and look at Yang Ping. "Just give me a quick death, okay?"

Yang Ping's lips twitched, his eyes filled with murderous intent, his fists clenched tightly, and he squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth, "Not so easy!"

The moles trembled all over, their faces filled with fear.

laugh!

Sizzle...

Li Tianyi put away the remaining silver needles. "If you dare to become a mole, you must be prepared for a fate worse than death."

Tap the first silver needle with a single finger.

"Ah, ah..."

Several moles were writhing in pain, foaming at the mouth, and convulsing.

Everyone present, except for Li Tianyi and Yang Ping, turned their heads away, unable to bear watching any longer.

Is this all the pain you can endure?

After the second injection, several more people died.

Yangping dared not look any longer and turned away.

"I told you, I'm going to let you experience what it's like to be worse than dead. Now, here we go."

The third injection was given.

The person who was hit trembled violently, wishing they could end their own life as soon as possible, but they could not muster any strength in their arms. The fear in their heart grew instantly, green liquid flowed from their mouth and nose, and they died.

"Throw him in the back mountain, to feed the wolves!"

Several seconds passed, but the guards did not respond.

Are they all deaf?

The roar startled them so much they almost fell over. They stumbled over, and as soon as they saw the twisted corpse, their stomachs began to churn.

Two others fainted.

"With such a level of tolerance, are you even qualified to guard this important prison?" Li Tianyi's gaze was icy as he swept over the crowd. "I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to adjust. If you can't do it, then get out of here."

He quickly turned to the Taishan Sect's top brass, "including you."

Everyone shuddered, trying to dispel the fear in their hearts.

Li Tianyi nodded in satisfaction and stepped aside.

Yangping was the first to overcome his fear, bowing deeply and saying, "Master Li's intentions are profound; I have learned a great deal."

“Finally, someone who understands.” Turning to the others, he said, “The enemy we are about to face is several times, even dozens of times, more terrifying than these twisted corpses. If you don’t have strong mental fortitude, you won’t be able to kill the enemy, and you won’t even be able to protect yourselves.”

"So that's how it is! We misunderstood Master Li. We are so ashamed!"

"This is just the first hurdle to overcome in the battles to come," Li Tianyi said, staring at the crowd. "After you overcome your basic fears, I will increase the difficulty as appropriate, giving you a better chance of survival when facing the Styx monsters."

"I will adapt as soon as possible and will not let down Master Li's painstaking efforts."

People's mindset has changed, and their adaptation speed is gradually increasing...

On the other side.

The dark figure charged forward and reached the mountainside.

He suddenly stopped, hid in the shadows, and kept scanning the distance. "Why are there only a few guards from the Mount Tai Sect? Could this be a trap?"

His brows furrowed, and he warily scanned the distance.

“Nothing unusual.” A smile grew wider at the corner of his mouth as he made a series of quick movements and rushed towards the mountaintop.

As soon as they arrived near the mountaintop, a dense guard appeared in the distance, which relieved the Rakshasa Demon's anxiety.

Wait patiently.

The guard turned around and slipped through the gap.

"Did something just pass by?" Guard A frowned slightly.

"It seems to be the wind," Guard B said, looking at his companion.

"I didn't feel anything."

The junior leader was immediately alarmed and gestured with his eyes: "Check your surroundings."

The group nodded and walked away into the distance.

The shadowy figure had already left the vicinity, and they hadn't noticed it.

They rushed forward and soon arrived outside the guest room. Their brows furrowed immediately. "I wonder where that person lives? Just to be on the safe side, let's capture someone and ask them."

He glanced around, his gaze settling on the three o'clock position.

There were two guards there, dozing off.

The Rakshasa Demon smiled and arrived beside the two like a gust of wind, his fingers rapidly tapping on them.

"Tell me where the important guests of the Mount Tai Sect are if you don't want to die?" The icy voice was filled with intense killing intent.

Guard A's eyes flickered, glancing southwest every now and then.

"Hmph!"

Two fingers were placed on their foreheads, and the two men instantly died, remaining in their previous positions.

"I will kill you tonight."

They rushed to the outside of the guest room, where it was pitch black, with no guards and not a single light in sight.

A sense of crisis began to rise in my heart.

"We can't delay any longer, lest things get complicated."

Approaching the largest house, I released my senses and caught even the faintest whispers.

The Rakshasa ghost felt much relieved and quietly unlatched the door, entering the house.

He closed the door behind him, and moved slowly toward the bed.

As the distance closed, three jet-black concealed weapons appeared in his hand and were shot out rapidly.

Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

He rolled repeatedly to dodge the attack, but a long sword was already close in, so he had to retreat again.

Blade light flashed everywhere.

“This person’s strength is definitely not below mine.” Rakshasa Ghost’s expression was solemn as he fully activated his Origin Force, and a terrifying aura surged outwards.

This energy was not only fast, but also carried a strange aura.

Li Tianyi dared not confront it head-on and used the Golden Snake technique to dodge.

"Die, you troublemaker."

Are you worthy?

The Rakshasa demon didn't answer, and with his twin swords, one in front and one behind, he aimed straight for the vital points.

when!

Po Jun blocked it, quickly changed his move, and slashed horizontally at the opponent's throat.

He leaned back to dodge, then thrust his long sword forward with his left hand, accompanied by a rolling, evil sound.

This voice was captivating and had a certain suppressive power.

After Li Tianyi's power was suppressed, his brows furrowed and his eyes locked onto the other party. "An alien created by the Styx River, die!"

The Rakshasa demon trembled. "Who exactly are you?"

"Your nightmare."

Po Jun wielded the blade faster and faster, filling the entire room with flashes of light.

Ta-da!

A fierce battle ensued, with sparks flying everywhere.

The two quickly became very aggressive in their fight, and their moves became increasingly simple, each strike deadly.

The load-bearing column could no longer support the weight and was covered with cracks.

A crack rapidly spread to the roof.

Li Tianyi forced the enemy back with all his might and charged outwards.

The Rakshasa demon followed closely behind.

boom!

The load-bearing columns collapsed, the house crumbled, and dust filled the air.

The roar alerted nearby experts, who rushed to the scene at full speed.

The Rakshasa demon sensed several terrifying auras approaching, his brows furrowed, and his expression became solemn.

"So you know fear now?"

Li Tian squinted, his Po Jun sword aimed straight at his dantian.

"Afraid?" The Rakshasa demon, exuding a black aura and utterly malevolent, asked, "What do you think?"

With a horizontal slash of the twin swords, a deafening wail resounded, and the void trembled.

"You're not the only one who can do that."

An even more terrifying aura surged from Po Jun, causing huge ripples to spread through the void.

Bang!

The knife in his left hand snapped in two, and the remaining force rushed towards his tiger's mouth, causing it to rupture instantly, with blood gushing out.

With one hand missing, his moves were full of holes.

A murderous intent flashed in Li Tianyi's eyes, and he unleashed his Tai Chi sword technique with fluid grace.

The Rakshasa demon had just dodged the attack when it was kicked in the stomach and staggered back several steps.

"Drink!" A brief hesitation flashed in his eyes, and an even more sinister aura shot straight into the sky. "To be able to force me to this point, you are truly not simple."

A phantom image of an evil god is gradually taking shape.

Li Tianyi's brow twitched, and he quickly created distance, concentrating all his power on Po Jun, unleashing "Extreme Yang Blade Qi!"

A blade of light, hundreds of meters long, slashed towards the phantom.

Boom!

The phantom was split in two, and the Rakshasa demon immediately bled from the corner of its mouth, its breath becoming disordered.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes as he downed a large bottle of Styx water.

Its eyes turned blood red, and its body was filled with evil energy. Anything that touched it shattered.

“It’s even more terrifying than the aura emanating from the Styx Ancestor.” Li Tianyi’s expression was solemn as he fully activated his Extreme Yang aura.

The two forces were locked in a fierce struggle, constantly exploding with energy.

Suddenly, a giant palm print fell from the sky.

Master Huiming appeared in the distance.

Almost simultaneously, Master Huikong and Tianshan Tonglao also appeared.

"Break!"

With a casual slash, the palm print shattered instantly, and Master Huiming dodged quickly, his upper body staggering violently.

"A Martial Venerable expert?"

The experts immediately retreated, their expressions grave, staring intently at the battlefield.

The voice transmitted: "Everyone, seal off the exits and do not approach."

Master Huiming and the others nodded and immediately stepped back.

Li Tianyi finally relaxed, released all his power, broke the balance, and began to suppress the evil energy.

A fierce killing intent flashed in the Rakshasa Demon's eyes. He thought to himself, "This person's strength is clearly at the mid-stage of the eighth-star level, but the intelligence he sent only says he's at the beginner level of the eighth-star level. He's trying to trap me!"

Feeling depressed, he couldn't stop the evil energy, which was now contained within a two-meter radius.

"I forcibly used the waters of the River Styx; there's no chance of survival." A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. "I'll take him with me in death."

Two fingers are placed on the left hand, and the tiger's mouth (the space between the thumb and index finger) is rapidly closing.

An extremely evil aura surged forth.

The broken sword was enveloped by an aura, instantly turning as black as ink.

"Die."

The two swords slashed out simultaneously, causing the void to sway and tremble as if it were about to crack open at any moment.

Li Tianyi's lips twitched, and he quickly created distance. "There are thousands of people living here. We absolutely cannot tear apart the space."

With their concerns in mind, the two sides were once again evenly matched.

“Lead him to an uninhabited area.”

The thought flashed through his mind, and he fought while retreating.

The Rakshasa demon, affected by the Styx River, was no longer as sharp as before and failed to see through the trap, relentlessly pursuing the enemy.

As time went by, they eventually lured it to a deserted place.

Li Tianyi suddenly stopped and rushed over.

The sudden turn of events left him bewildered; he attacked with his right hand and defended with his left.

This attack method was exactly what Li Tianyi wanted. He used the Golden Snake to dodge the attack and occasionally attacked his left side.

Soon, the Rakshasa demon followed the rhythm of his attacks.

Unable to dodge in time, he was slashed in the lower back.

There was no blood flowing there, but rather the Styx River water gushing out.

The stench of decay was mixed with a variety of nauseating odors, which even Li Tianyi found hard to bear.

By quickly holding your breath, the stench no longer affects you.

The Rakshasa demon saw everything, a smug smile spreading across his face. He slashed out with a blade of light, and a black bottle appeared in his other hand.

Li Tianyi didn't see it, and only realized something was wrong when Po Jun Zhan hit him, and immediately flew backward.

Clang! Boom!

The Styx River, even more malevolent than before, was poured down.

White smoke immediately rose from the ground, hissing loudly.

Before even inhaling, I felt dizzy and lightheaded, and my strength was suppressed again.

"How strange the Styx River water is." Li Tianyi dared not stay nearby any longer, quickly increasing the distance, his brows furrowed.

"So you know fear now?" The Rakshasa ghost seized the opportunity and clung to him relentlessly.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly decreasing.

Suddenly, a jet-black force appeared on the opposite slope, aiming straight for the back of Li Tianyi's head...
