There was no sign of time passing in the blood mist, and Xia Xiao didn't know how much time had passed, but she held her breath and stared at Hei Huang the whole time. She used small movements like bending her fingers to control the powerful demonic energy that was impacting the brand. If she mishandled it, or the demonic energy was too strong with the vitality in the brand, Xia Xiao would be crushed to death. However, her careful control made this overwhelming confrontation last too long. Xia Xiao was caught in the middle, and after enduring for a long time, she asked:

"Not well yet?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? If you're not careful, you'll lose your life."

Xia Xiao knew the danger. If the evil spirit rushed over, he would definitely become scum. But it would not be safe if he kept delaying. But he could only wait and finally closed his eyes to rest.

Hei Huang felt that Xia Xiao was a little arrogant. With the strength of a human cultivator with fifteen rings of the bow wheel in the Venerable Realm, it was impossible for him to be so calm in the face of such pressure. Xia Xiao's right arm was gone, and his shoulder, left arm, and legs were prone to being crushed and twisted. Although he was not strong, he was like being in the depths of the sea, with such high pressure around him that he could be crushed into a pool of meat at any time. But he closed his eyes and looked very light.

Hei Huang gradually discovered that Xia Xiao was not showing off, because his breathing had been adjusted to a very good state. Although the vitality and demonic energy in his body could not attack the mark, they could be dispersed throughout his body to share the pressure. Xia Xiao seemed to be taking a nap, but the confrontation between the demonic energy and the vitality in the mark still could not determine the winner.

Hei Huang was bold and careful enough, but that vitality was too serious. If her power increased a little, it would also increase. If the demonic energy weakened, even by a little, it would be rushed out. She reacted quickly and changed the strength of the demonic energy in time, but she was unable to suppress it.

Before such a thing, Hei Huang was extremely calm. She had done so many things for her ancestors, and she knew how to weigh the pros and cons, and she also knew that some things should not be rushed. It was just that she was always unsure about her feelings, after all, she was not the most emotional person. Just like now, she didn't know what kind of mood she was in when she picked up the black box, and when she picked it up next time, would she feel regret, pain, or indifference.

The difficulty of the demonic energy returning brought Hei Huang back to her senses. Even though that matter had troubled her for a long time, she was still focusing on sealing the brand. But it couldn't go on like this. Seeing that Xia Xiao was about to fall asleep, Hei Huang was furious and cursed:

"History has finally abandoned you. Wait for death on the moon!"

When it comes to controlling demonic energy, Heihuang is confident that he can compete with his ancestors, so when facing the vital energy released by the mark, Heihuang suddenly retracted all the demonic energy.

Hei Huang could roughly guess what Fei Tian? Bitch? was thinking. Even if Xia Xiao died, the brand would still be there, so no matter whether Xia Xiao lived or died, she would be the one who benefited in the end. Therefore, Hei Huang was so committed to the blockade at this time. This was not just a task assigned by the ancestors or helping Xia Xiao, but the first confrontation with her.

Without the demonic energy approaching, the vitality in the brand has been slowly withdrawn. But when the light faded, the demonic energy that was strong enough to penetrate Xia Xiao suddenly attacked, forcing the brand to appear with extremely strong fluctuations. But before it could release much vitality, it was suppressed by the demonic energy with absolute advantage.

With teeth clenched, Xia Xiao felt like a mountain was pressing down on his back. This mountain was a volcano, scorching his back with an extremely high temperature, almost roasting it. But he still didn't say a word, just staring forward, looking at Hei Huang's crazy smile full of fighting spirit, and shouted:

"Down!"

After the shout, the demonic energy immediately suppressed the vital energy, forming a fan-shaped pattern on Xia Xiao's scapula, like a dark tattoo like a devil.

"Take a break?"

"continue."

Hei Huang knew that Xia Xiao would be like this, and she had no intention of stopping, lest the seal be broken. But if it were the other way around, Hei Huang would definitely not give her life to others so easily. She didn't know what Xia Xiao was thinking, but Xia Xiao was used to rolling on the edge of death.

After the metal element is finished, it is time for the wood element. In fact, it does not matter. It is just a matter of order. The demonic energy has an advantage over any vitality. So the demonic energy continues to suppress it in the same way as before. Although the mark is controlled by Yu Shangyan, it is not as strong as hers, and there is no spiritual consciousness to control it, so it repeats the same mistake again.

Just when he was about to succeed, Xia Xiao coughed up blood. His shoulders seemed to be hit repeatedly by mountains. His left arm and legs became more twisted. His already torn pants were twisted into a ball and stuck to his skin.

"Why do you feel stronger?"

Xia Xiao gritted his teeth and spoke unclearly. Hei Huang replied:

"normal."

Xia Xiao cursed in his heart, breathing heavily, and it was difficult to breathe in after each breath he exhaled. Logically speaking, once the gold element was sealed, there would be less vitality to resist. But Hei Huang's explanation made his face red and black, thinking that if this continued, wouldn't he be a meat pie?

"When I said sealing the gold element, I only meant cutting off Yu Shangyan's control of your gold element vitality through the brand. I didn't say the power of the brand would weaken. On the contrary, when one channel is closed, the power will be squeezed into other channels, and the brand's self-protection consciousness is awakening. From now on, you will face four extremely exaggerated feelings of oppression. As for the overall seal, you don't have to worry about it. If the first five seals are successful, the five will be combined into one."

Xia Xiao slowly lowered his head, as if he understood what Hei Huang meant. No one knew how strong Yu Shangyan was, only a rough idea. He had sealed the Wild Beast King Que Dan with his hand, and then sealed the Origin Emperor Jun Ze with his backhand. The mark left on Xia Xiao at some point in time was so strong that even Hei Huang, who stood on top of the clouds, needed six seals to completely lock him up.

This kind of power is indescribable, and it is worthy of being an existence that has escaped from the Great Wilderness and entered the outside world. If it were any other time, Xia Xiao would definitely respect Yu Shangyan. Although she was possessed by a demon and was an out-and-out liar, her strength was indeed very strong. But now thinking about it, there is only pain and curse.

His shoulder was so painful that it was numb. Xia Xiao would not even notice if a few pieces of flesh were cut off with two knives. A few drops of blood oozed from the skin of his mutilated left hand and legs. This was inhuman torture, and Hei Huang felt so, because Xia Xiao was twisted like a twist, and he didn't know how far it would stop.

If it was Hei Huang, he would definitely not be so anxious to seal it, but Xia Xiao wanted to leave early and never come back. His choice would be proven to be wise sooner or later. Hei Huang thought he was smart, so he was so focused. He curled his fingers, and the demonic energy burst out with a buzzing sound, moving closer to Xia Xiao's back.

The vitality in the brand is crushed, and it seems that it has encountered the enemy of its life, and it will return to the brand.

Even with the protection of the five circular magic patterns, Xia Xiao's back was torn and burnt black. His lips trembled repeatedly, and he felt dizzy and dizzy, as if his back was fried in a frying pan, and it was already cooked. The brand only existed on his back, making it difficult for Xia Xiao to be fried to golden brown on both sides, but the black tattoo floating on his back suddenly fell down, causing his vitality to completely disappear on his back.

The wood seal is complete!

The seal pattern of the Netherworld was similar to the charred flesh, but different. Whether it was the bloody back or the twisted arms and legs, they all slowly relaxed, giving Xia Xiao time to catch his breath. Looking at Hei Huang, blood flowed from the corners of Xia Xiao's mouth as he panted, but he still murmured in a low voice, saying:

“This stinks.”

Do you still care about this now?

Heihuang frowned, finding it increasingly difficult to understand Xia Xiao. Was he pretending to be calm or was he really that calm?

He bent his fingers, and demonic energy surged, but it did not immediately initiate the water seal. Instead, it caused the blood mist around Xia Xiao to dissipate, and then a wave spread, making the two of them feel like they were in a brand new space, without any blood mist or stench.

The two doors in the narrow space were all opened, and a cold wind blew in like a dragon, allowing Xia Xiao to finally breathe in a breath of fresh air. Although the cold air froze his nose and lungs, he felt a little uncomfortable, like being in a cold night. But at the moment, this little stimulation would only make Xia Xiao more awake, instead of fainting in pain.

"Take a break, and you'll be stronger next time."

This time Hei Huang did not discuss it, and Xia Xiao nodded very honestly.

The vitality in his body suddenly released. Immediately, the five elements were strengthened, and the blurred flesh and blood began to heal. The skin that was twisted and broken also began to recover. Only the coagulated blood remained on the skin.

"Can I fill my body with energy to resist the pain?"

"Okay, but do you think you can really resist it with your limited energy?"

"Put me outside this space temporarily."

Heihuang did as he was told, and when Xia Xiao, who had absorbed the vital energy from the Qiankun where the Qingtian Sect was located, returned, he hid the vital energy in his body, preparing to resist the water seal.

The demonic energy hit his back, and this time the noise was even louder. The space began to shatter, and the cracks were extremely thick, and there was a constant flow of ice field wind. Xia Xiao used the energy he had absorbed before to deal with the pain caused by this impact, but even with it, his back with exposed bones and his arms and legs that were almost twisted off made Xia Xiao sweat all over.

The sweat turned into ice in the cold wind and stuck to Xia Xiao's body, making him look even more miserable, as if he had just walked out of a world of ice and snow.

After exhaling a few breaths of hot air, Xia Xiao was unable to breathe for a long time, but the air waves generated by the collision of the two forces behind him melted the ice again. Because of the vitality in his body, Xia Xiao's left arm and legs were not twisted like before, because they were full of vitality and could withstand the strong crushing.

Xia Xiao had placed the most energy on his back, but it was all dispersed at this moment, leaving nothing behind. However, the water energy was successfully sealed, but before Xia Xiao could catch his breath and prepare to seal the fire energy, a stream of energy first rushed out of the brand and went towards the other three floating seal patterns.

"Tsk! Damn it!"

Hei Huang's cold eyes, if she could use all her strength, regardless of Xia Xiao's life or death, she would have dispersed the vitality in the brand long ago, leaving no trace in the world, how could she give him a chance to counterattack? But if it counterattacked like this, the problem would come, that is, it would be difficult to seal it as quickly as before, and it would be another tug-of-war. Fortunately, Xia Xiao had the vitality he absorbed before, so he could hold on, but the vitality would always run out.

During the long struggle, the vitality that Xia Xiao had absorbed before was almost used up, and then he activated the vitality tree and the black tree, but when everything was used up, the seal of the fire element was still not completed!
