At this moment, the space inside this passage was extremely dark. Deep within the dim passage, thick black mist was constantly churning, looking as if black pythons were constantly swimming. This scene was as terrifying and horrifying as could be.
Within that thick black fog, suddenly, a pair of eerie green eyes shot out a beam of green light. Then, the green light in those eyes flickered in the air like will-o'-the-wisps, making one feel somewhat terrified.
"Haha, hahaha, finally, finally, finally tonight has arrived! I never thought I would wait for ten days and ten nights in this damned passage of the Northwest City. During these ten days, I have consumed a lot of my life essence! There's no other way. Tonight, I will use other people's life essence to restore my strength. I will make up for all the losses I have suffered during this period."
An old, hoarse voice came from the thick black fog, revealing a hint of ecstasy and anticipation, as if he could already see the delicious meat. He was extremely impatient.
As the sound rang out, the black mist instantly began to tremble violently, churning and tumbling, revealing its inner excitement and elation.
As the black mist churned, a figure shrouded entirely in a black robe slowly emerged from within it. This person was slender, with fair skin, a pointed oval face, long eyebrows, a small, straight nose, tightly pursed lips, and high, prominent cheekbones. He exuded a sense of ferocity and evil.
Moreover, he looked extremely weak, as if he hadn't eaten for a very long time. His clothes were tattered, making him look like a beggar. Yet, his aura and imposing presence gave off a terrifying feeling.
He is none other than Gu Yun from the Gu family.
Gu Yun was a guard in the Northwest Prince's Mansion in Northwest City. Although he wasn't officially a guard of the Northwest Prince's Mansion, his status and position far surpassed that of ordinary Gu family guards. Moreover, Gu Yun's strength was considered among the top in the Gu family.
Gu Yun's strength was only at the third level of the Body Refinement Realm.
Li Mingxuan, however, had already broken through to the peak of the ninth level of Body Refinement. His physique was far superior to Gu Yun's, and the martial arts techniques he possessed were top-tier. The martial skill he cultivated was his strongest technique. Once he mastered it, his strength would increase tenfold or even a hundredfold, making him a top-tier figure even within the entire Northwest Royal Palace.
Therefore, in Gu Yun's heart, he didn't take Li Mingxuan seriously at all.
"Boom!" At that moment, beams of physical light erupted from around Li Mingxuan. Waves of physical energy surged and rolled continuously within the space surrounding him.
At this moment, a powerful aura emanated from Li Mingxuan's body, and a smile of immense satisfaction appeared on his face. He could clearly feel that his strength had increased significantly. Although his strength had improved considerably, he was still very satisfied with his achievement in breaking through to the Body Refinement Realm.
After all, Li Mingxuan's martial arts cultivation had only just broken through to the Body Refinement Realm, and there was still a long way to go before he could break through to the middle stage of the Body Refinement Realm.
However, this is already enough. After all, he only needs to cultivate for a while longer to break through to the mid-stage of the Body Refinement Realm. At that time, his cultivation will definitely become even stronger.
"This Gu family is truly cunning and treacherous. They actually sent an avatar here. I really didn't expect that. But since they sent an avatar, I'd like to see what tricks they can pull. However, they don't seem to realize that I, Li Mingxuan, am not someone to be trifled with." A cold smile appeared in Li Mingxuan's mind. He believed that the Gu family's avatar wouldn't have an easy time either. After all, the Gu family was just an ordinary family, with no real power to cause trouble in the palace. Moreover, they hadn't encountered any other dangers on their way here. Presumably, it wasn't those powerful figures sent by the Gu family who were targeting him!
Of course, Gu Yun is a guard of the Gu family, and behind him stands another Gu Yun. If these two join forces to deal with me, it would be too easy. Therefore, I absolutely cannot be careless about this matter, otherwise, if I am ambushed by these two, I will be in big trouble.
However, since Gu Yun has sent out an avatar, they are definitely no match for him. Even an ordinary avatar is far weaker than Gu Yun. Moreover, Gu Yun has a Body Refinement Realm expert standing behind him!
Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on Li Mingxuan's face. He wanted to see if this clone could withstand his attack. He believed that with his current strength, he would definitely be able to defeat this clone.
"That brat Gu Yun is really cunning. He actually sent a clone to deal with me. Heh, his little tricks are nothing but showing off in front of me. He's overestimating himself. If he could use some powerful moves against me, I might be a little wary of him. But this guy can't even bear to use his own clone. Instead, he sent a clone at the eighth level of Body Refinement. Hmph, I, Li Mingxuan, will surpass him one day. Then, let's see what qualifications he has to compete with me for the position of Gu family head!" Li Mingxuan said with a cold laugh.
"Heh, you think you really beat me? Don't dream. Let me tell you, I, Gu Yun, am not someone you can handle. You'd better surrender now, or you won't escape," Gu Yun said with a cold laugh.
"Is that so? I wonder where you get your confidence from? How dare you say that? Aren't you afraid of being killed by me?" Li Mingxuan said with a sneer.
