Upon seeing the large bird overhead, Liu Xiaoyuan shouted, "Get out of my way right now, or I'll chop you up and eat your flesh!"

The large bird seemed to understand Liu Xiaoyuan's words. After hearing them, it let out a cry that sounded particularly shrill. Then, the bird swooped down at Liu Xiaoyuan, its sharp claws sharper than a knife.

"You're asking for death!" Liu Xiaoyuan immediately drew his Blood Drinking Sword and slashed at the bird's claws. Although the bird was huge, its reaction speed was not that fast, and its legs were severed by Liu Xiaoyuan's Blood Drinking Sword in an instant.

As soon as its legs were severed, the large bird let out a shrill cry, then swooped down and pecked at Liu Xiaoyuan with its sharp beak!

Seeing that this big bird had both legs broken, yet still wanted to take revenge, it was truly overestimating itself.

Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly, and the Blood Drinking Sword immediately flew up from the air like a shooting star, severing the bird's neck with a single stroke.

After the bird's neck was severed, it flapped its wings a few times in the air, and blood sprayed out from its neck like a drizzle.

Liu Xiaoyuan immediately dodged it. The large bird flapped its wings a few times and then crashed heavily to the ground with a thud, creating a small crater in the ground.

After glancing at the dead bird, Liu Xiaoyuan flew away immediately.

Not far after flying, Liu Xiaoyuan heard the sounds of fighting again. Looking over, he saw that someone had encountered the monsters in the Crimson Purgatory once more.

Since it was none of his business, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't even glance at it and simply left.

As Liu Xiaoyuan flew, he kept track of the Medicine King Cauldron's location. Whenever he discovered anything related to the cauldron, he would immediately stop and observe it.

"Who is it!" Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was using his divine sense to investigate, he suddenly discovered a woman changing clothes in a cave. Liu Xiaoyuan could see her white back and round, fragrant buttocks clearly.

Holy crap! Who is this? Is he crazy? This is Bloodstained Hell! What the hell are you doing changing your clothes here?

Liu Xiaoyuan didn't answer and wanted to fly away, after all, he felt a little embarrassed after seeing the girl.

Just then, a figure flew out of the cave and blocked Liu Xiaoyuan's way with astonishing speed.

"Was that you just now?" Gu Yuxi asked, pointing her finger at Liu Xiaoyuan with her sword.

Liu Xiaoyuan never expected that the person changing clothes in the cave was Gu Yuxi, the third-ranked Golden Core expert.

Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "This is my daughter. I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean by 'is it me'? What do you mean by that?"

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately began to play dumb, trying to get away with it.

"You scoundrel, still trying to argue!" Gu Yuxi was so angry when she saw Liu Xiaoyuan's pretentious act that she raised her sword and was about to kill him.

Liu Xiaoyuan also got angry. "It was wrong of me to peek at you changing clothes, but it was unintentional. Besides, who knew you were changing clothes in the cave?"

"What are you talking about? Don't stop me, I have things to do." Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Gu Yuxi and said irritably.

Gu Yuxi never expected Liu Xiaoyuan to speak to her like that. She had always been a proud and privileged woman, and everyone treated her with utmost respect. Now, Liu Xiaoyuan dared to disregard her and even utter foul language, which was truly despicable.

"You scoundrel, you're asking for death!" Gu Yuxi said angrily, and stabbed at Liu Xiaoyuan with the flying sword in her hand.

"Are you fucking sick? Are you insane? You woman!" the Academy of Sciences cursed angrily.

Gu Yuxi was completely stunned by Liu Xiaoyuan's insult. This man actually insulted her? He called her a lunatic!

"Who are you calling a lunatic? You lecher!" Gu Yuxi's eyebrows shot up, her eyes fixed on Liu Xiaoyuan, the anger blazing from them seeming to burn him alive.

"I'm talking to you! This is the Crimson Purgatory, not your home. You come to the Crimson Purgatory and change clothes? Are you crazy? You can change clothes in the cave, but I'm not allowed to explore the cave?" Liu Xiaoyuan launched into a tirade against Gu Yuxi.

Gu Yuxi was stunned. She never expected to be scolded like that by a man, and she was speechless, unable to find any words to refute him.

“You…” Gu Yuxi pointed her sword at Liu Xiaoyuan, too angry to speak.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Don't think that just because you're pretty you can be unreasonable. If you piss me off, I don't care if you're a man or a woman, I'll beat you up anyway!" Liu Xiaoyuan said irritably.

"Snap, snap..."

Just as Liu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, a cracking sound came from underground, as if something was about to emerge from the ground.

Moreover, the sound of the ground cracking grew louder and louder, and a huge and long crack appeared on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan lost all interest in arguing with Gu Yuxi. Damn it, this must be another monster.

Gu Yuxi also knew the seriousness of the matter. After glaring at Liu Xiaoyuan, she turned her gaze to the ground.

Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want to waste time here, so he thought he'd escape before the monster came out.

Liu Xiaoyuan immediately flew forward, but just as he set off, a black, earthworm-like thing emerged from the ground and blocked his path.

Upon seeing the monster before them, they realized it was an enormous earthworm, entirely black, with no discernible eyes or mouth.

The black monster stood in front of Liu Xiaoyuan, and immediately twisted its body to wrap around him.

The ground cracked and popped, and the monster's entire body emerged from the ground, leaving a deep trench.

This black monster must have been hundreds of meters long and was enormous. Its body was covered in a greasy substance, which made it look disgusting.

"What kind of monster is this?" Liu Xiaoyuan felt disgusted when he saw the monster in front of him. Damn it, why are there so many monsters in this Blood Purgatory?

Gu Yuxi let out a delicate shout, and the flying sword in her hand flew out, directly slashing at the black monster with a long tail.

Upon seeing Gu Yuxi's attack, the black monster used its own body to block it. With a flick of its body, it collided with Gu Yuxi's flying sword.

Gu Yuxi's flying sword immediately emitted a buzzing sound, as if it was already struggling to keep up.

Gu Yuxi also took a step back, as if she hadn't gained any advantage from that attack at all, but instead had been at a disadvantage, which showed how terrifying this black monster was.
