“Yes, but that wisp of demonic energy is very faint, as if it had just been infected,” the dodder flower fairy replied.

Demonic energy is a dark power, and like spiritual energy, it can be used for cultivation.

Humans who use demonic energy to cultivate become demonic cultivators, and demonic beasts will transform into demonic beasts.

If used properly, demonic energy can indeed be a powerful force, but more often than not, it will go out of control because one cannot resist its malevolent energy.

The purple-gold snake before them was clearly the latter, and under the stimulation of demonic energy, it became even more frenzied.

This barrier is the result of its enhancement.

Otherwise, Gu Ci Zhenjun and others would never tolerate the existence of such a demonic beast that endangers the lives of their disciples.

But where does the demonic energy come from in this secret realm?

Even a fool would know that Bai Mumu was behind it.

Shen Sangruo's expression grew increasingly solemn. What exactly was the evil spirit on Bai Mumu's body? It even had a smattering of demonic energy.

In short, Bai Mumu cannot be allowed to live. The evil spirits surrounding her are too strange, and she may one day endanger the entire cultivation world.

The most important thing right now is to find a way to escape from the mouth of this purple-gold snake.

Her mind raced, searching for anyone or anything that could be of use to her right now.

On the other side, Ye Huai and his three companions attacked the Purple Gold Serpent using their respective attack methods.

The four attacks landed on the purple-gold serpent, but they couldn't even damage its scales. The physical strength of a demonic beast nearing the late Nascent Soul stage was something that even Golden Core cultivators like them couldn't handle.

They only wanted to draw the Purple Gold Serpent's hatred to themselves, in order to buy Shen Sangruo a chance to escape.

However, the purple-gold serpent simply flicked its long tail, sending the four flying and crashing heavily into the barrier filled with purple lightning.

His gaze remained fixed on Shen Sangruo, determined not to rest until he had killed her.

The group struggled to their feet, their faces turning extremely grim as they watched the purple-gold snake prepare to attack her again.

Ignoring everything else, he gritted his teeth and continued to attack the Purple Gold Serpent, even if he could only hold it off for a moment and distract it by half!

"Little flower fairy, if you don't act now, we'll all die here." Chen Sangruo took a deep breath, pulled out the trembling vine hidden in her hair, and threw it away.

"Ahhh!" the dodder flower demon screamed. If it had a face, two lines of tears would surely fall from its eyes.

Every vine on its body was showing its resistance.

"She's a demon at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, can't she be a little more dignified?" She couldn't understand why the dodder flower demon was so afraid.

"Of course you don't understand! You weren't the one who got beaten up!" Heaven knows how much psychological trauma this golden snake inflicted on it when it was just a young vine!

"Its cultivation is now close to the late Nascent Soul stage; I am no match for it at all!"

"Looks like you don't want your little yellow flower anymore." She held the dodder flower fairy's "seed" in her hand, her voice threatening, "Are you more afraid of it or me?"

The dodder flower fairy hesitated for a moment, her vines becoming tangled together.

Then, as if making a firm decision, her tone took on a tragic, heroic quality, "I'm going all out!"

Countless vines instantly spread out from its body, filling everyone's eyes with green.

Its vines wrapped around the attacking purple-gold snake, whose thick, purplish-black body was covered with fine green threads, making it appear somewhat weak in comparison.

But there were so many of them, and the vines that stretched out seemed endless, not only covering the purple-gold snake but also spreading everywhere on the ground.

It tightly bound the purple-gold snake, and the barrier formed by the vines blocked the snake's powerful attack.

The scorched vines immediately fell to the ground, forming a thick layer.

The snake's body continuously emitted electric shocks, leaving afterimages on the vines above it.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" The screams of the dodder flower demon echoed within the barrier.

Bai Mumu glanced at it, not expecting that the dodder flower fairy could be used by Chen Sangruo. She curled her lips in disdain.

That dodder flower demon was only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and it wouldn't last long against the enhanced Purple-Gold Serpent.

Shen Sangruo was well aware of this as well, and kept calling out Zhu Miao's name in her mind.

Since entering the secret realm, Zhu Miao seemed to have been suppressed by some unknown force, and now she had no choice but to summon it.

The little black and white ball landed, and the bear looked a bit listless. It forced itself to perk up, and this sight filled her with a pang of heartache.

Bai Mumu tilted her head slightly. She knew that Shen Sangruo was a very strong spirit beast, but she did not take Zhu Miao seriously.

Just in case, she had the system restrict Zhu Miao from the very beginning of the team competition.

How could a mere spirit beast possibly contend with the system?

The system consumed a huge amount of energy this time, and she had to use up her task points in advance to keep the system running.

Her eyes were filled with mockery. "Farewell, Shen Sangruo."

"I can't hold on any longer!" The dodder flower demon uttered an electric sound after being electrocuted by the purple-gold snake, having reached its limit.

Zhu Miao's beady eyes met the enormous vertical pupils of the Purple Gold Serpent, and she remained calm and composed despite her discomfort.

The next moment, all the vines on the purple-gold snake shattered, and the terrifying aura it unleashed seemed to crush everyone.

Zhu Miao raised her hand, but her chubby little paws blocked the aura, and in the blink of an eye, she was entangled in a battle with the purple-gold snake.

Despite being suppressed by the system, Zhu Miao was barely able to fight the Purple Gold Serpent to a draw.

Shen Sangruo caught the falling dodder flower fairy, put it down, and the hair-thin vine fell to the ground. She gave it a meaningful look.

With Zhu Miao's support, Ye Huai and the others finally reunited with her. They exchanged a glance and understood what the other meant.

The group unleashed their full power, attacking the Purple-Gold Serpent together, seemingly intending to cooperate with Zhu Miao to kill it.

She stood on the ground, without using the wind to rise into the air, and waved her feather fan at the snake's head, which was tens of meters high, instantly causing a sea of ​​fire to soar into the sky.

Upon touching the barrier in the clouds, they were all stopped.

From a distance, it looks exactly like a semi-circular fireball.

"Heh, overestimating yourselves." Bai Mumu, hiding in the shadows, made no attempt to hide the contempt in her tone. "You think you can defeat the Purple Gold Serpent?"

"Kill that spirit beast first, then Chen Sangruo, and then those four people!"

None of them will escape.

Looking at Wen Xuan, who was still crawling towards the battlefield, perhaps by the time he reached the battlefield, Shen Sangri would be dead right in front of him.

Thinking of this, she felt an indescribable joy.

She didn't notice a thin vine climbing up to her feet.

Shen Sangruo's eyes flickered slightly, her peripheral vision inadvertently sweeping in a certain direction.

The attack, originally aimed at the purple-gold snake, suddenly changed direction.

The feather fan snapped shut, transforming into a sharp short sword that pierced towards Bai Mumu's location at incredible speed.

Bai Mumu's suddenly contracted pupils reflected her playful, smiling eyes and her parting lips:

"I've found you."
