Xiu Qiyu never expected that he would encounter Lang Sha, an alien race that always hid in the shadows, observing its opponents, patiently waiting for them to reveal their weaknesses, and then mercilessly delivering a fatal blow.

Wolf Slayer's ranking wasn't very high, around 30th, but most of the people who had fought him ended up dead.

Xiu Qiyu never expected that he would actually see Lang Sha, especially when Lang Sha was slaughtering humans. Mu Feng was seriously injured and had been consuming a lot of resources to recuperate these past few days. After the battle between Lang Sha and Yu Kou ended inconclusively, he was in a very bad mood and had been venting his anger on almost every human he saw these past few days.

Xiu Qiyu was furious. Lang Sha's cultivation level was too high; those human prodigies were no match for him at all, being slaughtered and tortured at his will. Even when the human prodigies self-destructed, they couldn't break through his defenses, only receiving a cold laugh in return: "Struggle as much as you want! I like to see you weeping and begging for mercy. Struggle all you want! Weak humans, no one can save your lives."

Xiu Qiyu was furious. He thought, "Why don't you go fight Zhan Changtian and Yu Kou? What kind of nonsense is this, bullying the weak?" However, Xiu Qiyu couldn't intervene. He knew very well that even after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, he was no match for Lang Sha. Wolves were the most terrifying animals in the forest, possessing patience, ruthlessness, and terrifying killing power—they had it all. Once he attacked, he would leave no survivors.

However, Xiu Qiyu was unwilling to just leave like this, so it would be better to leave Lang Sha with some surprises.

Ordinary moves couldn't hurt Lang Sha at all. A small dagger quickly appeared in Xiu Qiyu's hand. It was black all over and contained a poison pill and a ghost pill. After thinking for a moment, Xiu Qiyu took out a red pill from his space and melted it into a small, sharp sword tip, which he then incorporated into the dagger, turning it into a bright crimson.

Xiu Qiyu's hand was now covered with a thick layer of ice, the top layer of which had melted into black water. This poison, if even a tiny bit gets on the hand, will surely give Lang Sha an unforgettable lesson.

The dark dagger approached silently, piercing the body of the human prodigy who had flown into the air and was pouncing towards Lang Sha. Lang Sha remained arrogant and smug. These humans were truly weak. What good was self-destruction? It wouldn't do them any harm at all. I really don't know what these humans were thinking.

Therefore, Wolf Sha paid no attention to this human prodigy who rushed forward to seek death. He even symbolically activated a small protective shield, which was naturally shattered. The energy from the self-destruction was directly released onto Wolf Sha. Wolf Sha didn't care, but soon, his expression changed. His defense, which was usually extremely high and could not be broken even by top-grade magic weapons, was actually breached. His strong upper body was corroded black by the deadly poison, which continued to damage his body.

Wolf Sha was furious. He hadn't expected these lowly humans to dare defy him, let alone plot against him. In a single instant, Wolf Sha cruelly snapped the necks of everyone around him, then rushed back to find Mu Feng. He seemed unable to remove the unknown poison, while Mu Feng was quite knowledgeable about such things.

At this moment, Wolf Sha didn't care about saving face or anything else; getting rid of the poison as soon as possible was the most important thing.

Xiu Qiyu had already slipped away quietly when the dagger pierced the human prodigy's heart; otherwise, by the time Lang Sha realized what was happening, he wouldn't have been able to leave even if he wanted to.

Xiu Qiyu had anticipated the fate of those human prodigies, but he did not regret it. It was a necessary sacrifice, as his strength was now far inferior to Lang Sha's.

After Lang Sha returned in a disheveled state, he was indeed mocked mercilessly by Mu Feng: "You ran into Jing Li, how did you end up in such a miserable state?"

With Mu Feng's keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that Lang Sha had been poisoned. Zhan Changtian and Yu Kou were not skilled in using poisons, so there was only one possibility: Jing Li. What alchemist wouldn't know how to make poison?

Wolf Sha's face darkened further, and he shook his head: "We were careless this time and got ambushed by a bastard."

"Tsk tsk, to be able to plot against you, then it can't be Jing Li."

"I suspect it wasn't him either. A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be so afraid to show his face; he'd only hide in the shadows and do dirty work." Wolf Fiend was filled with resentment.

"You didn't see his face clearly."

Wolf Sha nodded, and even Mu Feng was somewhat surprised: "Could it be the human race's trump card?"

"There's no point in speculating now. When we meet again, I'll definitely cut his neck and drink his blood dry," Wolf Sha roared in fury.

"Don't get angry. This poison is a bit strange. It will take three days to cure it. Don't go out during these three days."

"I understand." Wolf Sha nodded dejectedly, thinking of that bastard who plotted against him.

"There's still a third round of competition. Who knows, he might not even live to see that day?"

Wolf Demon and Mu Feng are now in the same boat, unable to go out and fight for points. They can only instruct their subordinates to closely monitor news from the secret realm, temporarily sparing the demons and focusing their efforts on killing the humans.

Xiu Qiyu hadn't expected his sneak attack to succeed, preventing Lang Sha from going out to slaughter humans for three days.

However, both Wolf Sha and Mu Feng were caught off guard and were unwilling to swallow their anger. They both gave orders: "Kill the humans by any means necessary—ambush, gang up, poison, arson, anything is acceptable."

Thus, the conflict between humans and other races intensified once again, almost to the point of fighting every time they appeared, and the number of casualties skyrocketed. Now that most of the rare treasures in the secret realm have been found, killing is the quickest way to gain points.

After disguising himself, Xiu Qiyu encountered several groups of robbers, whom he swiftly and decisively killed. Among them was a powerful cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Indeed, most Nascent Soul cultivators are arrogant and disdainful of Nascent Soul cultivators; a difference of one major realm is enough for them to crush the lower-level cultivator.

Therefore, the Nascent Soul cultivator didn't take Xiu Qiyu seriously at all, and as a result, Xiu Qiyu easily pierced his heart with a sword, leaving him with unfinished business.

Through his bloodshed, Xiu Qiyu gradually became familiar with the changes and increased power he had experienced after his bloodline awakened. Now, he was able to control this power skillfully, and his understanding of Nirvana was constantly improving. Therefore, Xiu Qiyu planned to go deep into the snowy mountains to continue his seclusion and digest the techniques and secrets he had acquired over the past few days.

Moreover, he had a feeling that there were things he needed deep in the snow-capped mountains, but they were quite dangerous.
