The four flew out of the bamboo forest, and Rong Jiaojiao suddenly had a sense of impending danger.

She warned, "I have a feeling we're about to encounter danger. Everyone, be careful."

Everyone nodded. They would be on guard even without her saying so, but her reminder would make them even more vigilant.

After flying for two hours, they were still in deep mountains and forests, and the trees were getting denser and denser.

Qing Xuanzi took out a map and looked at it for a while before saying, "We may have entered the tropical rainforest of the Black Country."

Mo Bai said indifferently, "Whatever, it's all about training anyway, anywhere is fine."

At that moment, Rong Jiaojiao felt a pang of fear. "They're here!"

She immediately took precautions, and a top-grade thunder talisman appeared in her hand.

Seeing that she was on guard, everyone immediately became on guard as well.

Just then, two clouds of blood mist exploded in the sky, and two disheveled guys rushed over on blood-red flying swords. They were the two old monsters at the Heavenly Master level from the Blood Fiend Sect.

"You little brats! Let's see where you run this time!" The old monster on the left grinned, revealing a mouthful of gold teeth, and spun the compass in his hand like a top. "Hand over the Nine Dragons Golden Seal obediently, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse!"

Rong Jiaojiao stamped her feet anxiously: "Oh no! We forgot to let the little secret realm protect us when we left the cave! Master, what do we do now?"

Qing Xuanzi said coldly, "They only have two Celestial Masters left. Senior Mo is on par with them. With the remaining one, the three of us working together, I refuse to believe we can't defeat them."

Mo Zhizhou didn't speak, but immediately summoned the golden compass to meet one of them.

A cold glint flashed in Mo Bai's eyes, and a blood-red longsword suddenly appeared in his hand: "Old bastard, today I'll let you taste the sword technique I've just mastered!"

The blade was wrapped in strange blood-red patterns, which were somewhat similar to the techniques of the Blood Fiend Sect.

The Golden Tooth Monster was taken aback for a moment, then burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha, you little brat, you stole our techniques? Today I'll extract your soul to refine the lamp!"

The way he looked at Mo Bai was as if he were looking at an ant.

"Pah, I, the young master, would never stoop to learning your techniques."

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Bai had already transformed into a blood-red shadow and attacked.

Qing Xuanzi exclaimed in alarm: "Young Master Mo, be careful!"

He flung out twelve jade talismans, which formed a trapping array in the air: "Twelve Yuan Chen Demon-Locking Array!"

The jade talisman emitted a blue light, which condensed into twelve illusory images of the Chinese zodiac in the air.

Golden Tooth Old Monster sensed danger and was about to use his escape technique when he was suddenly pounced on by the phantom of Tiger, and his right arm was immediately covered in blood.

"How dare a mere Earth Master in the early stages of cultivation injure me? You're courting death!" The old monster roared in fury, and thirty-six bone nails flew out from his sleeve.

Rong Jiaojiao hurriedly summoned a top-grade Heavenly Thunder Talisman to shield her master. The lightning collided with the bone nail, creating dazzling sparks.

In that split second, Mo Bai's Blood Blade suddenly changed its move, the blood patterns on its blade writhing like living things, and actually devoured all the blood mist surrounding the Golden Tooth Monster.

"This isn't the Blood Fiend Technique!" The Golden-Toothed Monster retreated in terror. "This is..."

"Demon-Devouring Blade!" Golden runes appeared in Mo Bai's eyes. "It's specifically designed to counter you evil cultivators!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Qing Xuanzi intensified the formation to encircle the monster, and the illusory images of the zodiac animals kept attacking and biting the body of the Golden Tooth Monster.

Pieces of flesh were bitten off from the body of the Golden Tooth Monster, while the greatsword in Mo Bai's hand became increasingly bewitching, resembling a demonic blade.

On the other side, Mo Zhizhou's golden compass suddenly split into nine pieces, forming a strange array in the air.

The old monster who fought him suddenly changed his expression: "Nine Palaces Immortal Locking Formation!"

Ignoring the other party's words, Mo Zhizhou simultaneously unleashed golden light from the nine compasses, outlining the silhouette of a miniature city in the void.

"town!"

Just as the old monster was about to make a hand seal, he suddenly found that the spiritual energy around him was as stagnant as lead.

The old monster was filled with shock and anger, and suddenly three crimson centipedes sprang out from his sleeve.

These poisonous insects grew rapidly in the wind, transforming in the blink of an eye into ferocious creatures over ten feet long, spewing poisonous mist as they pounced on Mo Zhizhou.

"Watch out!" Rong Jiaojiao threw out three Ice Soul Talismans, and the cold air instantly froze the centipede into an ice sculpture.

But one of them broke through the ice, its fangs only three inches from Mo Zhizhou's throat—

"boom!"

A bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky; it was Zi Ling, who had been thrown out of the secret realm by Rong Jiaojiao, whose sharp claws tore the centipede in two.

Its fur stood on end, and it was surrounded by lightning that was more violent than ever before. Its pupils turned into vertical pupils, and purple lightning patterns faintly appeared on its forehead.

Before she could take a closer look, the Golden Tooth Monster suddenly let out a shrill scream.

Mo Bai's blood-red blade pierced through the old monster's left shoulder, its blood-red patterns greedily devouring the old monster's essence blood.

A drop of golden blood condensed on Mo Bai's right fingertip and slowly seeped into the hilt of the knife.

The Golden Tooth Monster trembled violently, and his protective aura as a Celestial Master was torn apart as if it were made of paper.

"You're not a member of the Mo family, who are you..." Before the old monster could finish speaking, his entire body suddenly withered and turned into a dead body in the blink of an eye.

The remaining essence blood was completely absorbed by the blood blade, making the golden patterns on the blade even more dazzling.

His soul was swallowed by the illusory image of Qing Xuanzi's protective token.

Seeing this, the other old monster was terrified and directly detonated his natal flying sword. With a deafening roar, the Nine Palaces Immortal Locking Formation was blasted open.

Just as he was about to flee, Rong Jiaojiao, disregarding whether she would be exposed or not, immediately summoned a jade seal: "Suppress!"

A phantom of a demon-suppressing entity descended like a mountain, causing the old monster to feel as if he were trapped in quagmire, and his movements immediately slowed down.

Taking advantage of the moment, Mo Zhizhou pointed his finger, and the nine compasses suddenly combined into a golden compass. A beam of golden light shot out from the compass and directly pierced through the old monster's dantian.

"Ah!" The old monster screamed and fell to the ground, but then suddenly grinned maliciously: "You thought... this was the end?"

As he spoke, he suddenly smashed the jade pendant at his waist, and a bloody light flashed, about to rush towards Rong Jiaojiao's brow. Just as he thought he had succeeded and laughed triumphantly.

But the blood-red light swirled within a small space, unable to escape.

The old monster's laughter abruptly stopped. He stared wide-eyed at the blood-red light trapped in mid-air, his face filled with disbelief: "Impossible... How could you possibly trap the Blood Fiend Soul-Chasing Curse?!"

Rong Jiaojiao didn't know how powerful the Blood Fiend Soul Chasing Curse was. Just hearing the name told her it was no good, and she knew the blood-red light was extraordinary.

She dared not be careless, and with a thought, she took it into her little secret realm. Once inside her territory, any curses or spells would vanish.

He snorted coldly. How dare they plot against his soul? Then let them die first.

The jade seal in his hand lit up again: "Now, it's time to end this."

The old monster, his face contorted with rage, said, "Then we'll all die together!"

Mo Zhizhou shouted, "Retreat quickly! He's about to self-destruct his soul!"

Instead of retreating, Rong Jiaojiao advanced, showering the old monster with Soul-Burning Talismans, instantly engulfing him in a ghostly blue soul fire.

His sinister smile froze on his face, and the eerie blue soul fire clung to his soul like a leech.

He was horrified to discover that he couldn't even self-destruct—the Soul-Burning Talismans were burning his soul in reverse!

"Aaaaaah..." A shrill scream came from the old monster's mouth.

Rong Jiaojiao drew another Soul-Burning Talisman in the void and imprinted it on the old monster.
