The once beautiful place was instantly shrouded in malevolent energy.
All the surrounding flowers and greenery wilted instantly and lost their vitality.
At that moment, the black-robed man's severed hand grew back.
Without the black and gold gloves covering his hands, the exposed hands looked quite strange.
Its appearance doesn't resemble a human hand, but rather a real eagle's claw, only with five fingers.
"I underestimated you."
The continuous flow of wood elemental power and vitality was directly absorbed by the man in black robes.
The man in black robes instantly rose from the ground, and as he ascended, he absorbed more and more wood elemental power, spiritual power, and life force.
Wei Qinghe frowned slightly. She had known that this man in black robes was not simple, but she did not expect him to be an anomaly.
She released a wisp of her divine consciousness and simultaneously summoned the Purple Electric Cloud Brush.
The purple electric cloud brush moved swiftly in her hand, drawing talismans.
The man in black robes remained completely concealed, but Wei Qinghe could feel his sinister, venomous gaze fixed on her.
"So he was a spellcaster."
Just as Wei Qinghe was about to successfully complete the rune inscription, the man in black robes rushed towards her with lightning speed.
He seemed to realize that the rune was incomplete, and actually passed right through it.
Just when he thought his claws were about to hurt Wei Qinghe, his body suddenly felt as if it were being restrained by something.
What's going on?
Only then did he realize that his body was actually trapped by a net of spiritual energy.
Blood-red runes and golden light flowed across the spiritual energy net.
"Do you think that a spellcaster is doomed to die the moment they get close?"
The more the girl struggled, the tighter the net tightened; it turned out that Wei Qinghe had incorporated the Spirit Binding Lock into it.
"Little spellcaster, don't be so arrogant. Wait until I come out, you'll see." The man in black robes seemed unwilling to give up.
Whether it was overconfidence or genuine skill, black and red energy burst forth around his body once again.
The surging air currents were as fierce as rolling waves.
For the first time, cracks appeared on the Spirit Binding Lock.
This was something Wei Qinghe hadn't anticipated.
As expected, this man in black robes was a hidden powerhouse.
All the runes were shattered in an instant.
A deafening shout rang out, shaking the ground and causing several unidentified cracks to appear in the earth.
The Spirit Binding Lock lost its function; although it didn't break, it still fell to the ground.
The man in black robes landed, and with a stomp of his foot, the cracks in the ground instantly spread outwards.
Seeing this, Wei Qinghe had no choice but to take up his two swords.
"Oh, could he really be a sword cultivator?"
The man in black robes spoke with a hint of mockery, clearly not believing that the other party was both a spellcaster and a swordsman.
He roared again, and a phantom of a giant ape suddenly appeared behind him.
This is a beast soul!
His contracted beast soul is an extreme means of fierce battle.
It's not usually used, but if the battle is won easily, then it's nothing.
However, if this battle is lost, the contracted beast whose soul has been summoned will be severely injured or even killed.
A contracted beast will share all its owner's injuries until death.
Therefore, Wei Qinghe rarely uses beast souls in major battles.
"Master, release my beast soul! I will use my bloodline to suppress that monkey!" The little azure dragon was quite excited, seemingly not worried about the battle at all.
Gigantopithecus is not particularly outstanding among mammals.
Whether it's defense, agility, or attack, it has many of the strongest aspects.
The only advantage it has is its large size.
In battles between cultivators, victory is not simply a matter of who is physically the strongest.
A black and red sword appeared in the black-robed man's hand, which suited his personality quite well.
The two swords flashed and clashed, each collision seemingly capable of destroying the heavens and earth.
The sword energy was powerful, and the sword light was like a dragon, breaking through the heavy, oppressive air again and again.
Despite the seemingly vast difference in combat strength and the sword, they remained intact after countless collisions.
Wei Qinghe's sword is strong enough to fight against three or four cultivators of the same level at the same time.
The black-robed man's movements and identity were also very strange. This was the first time Wei Qinghe had encountered such an opponent in a long time.
It's unclear how much time has passed, but this place looks like a ruin after an earthquake and a thunderbolt.
The two, who had been fighting hard, were gradually exhausted in terms of physical strength and spiritual power.
Bloodstains were visible on Wei Qinghe's plain clothes, and her bangs were soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to her forehead.
The man in black robes was in no better shape; his black robes were almost completely gone. It wasn't that Wei Qinghe was deliberately being lewd in this way.
Instead, whenever he was captured, he would cut off his robe and escape.
After several attempts, it ended up like this.
However, his injuries were no less numerous than Wei Qinghe's, and each wound was deeper, resulting in more bleeding.
The atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly heavy, just like the two people's demeanor.
The man in black robes knelt on the ground, supporting himself with the long sword in his hand.
The giant ape soul behind him was already in a state of disarray, meaning that the giant ape soul had been severely damaged.
"You little girl, you've got some skills. You're not from the Southern Moon Continent, are you?"
“You’re not from the Southern Moon Continent either.” Wei Qinghe gripped her twin swords, continuously absorbing spiritual energy from the space.
"You..." The man in black was surprised that Wei Qinghe knew about this.
Having learned such a huge secret, it's clear we can't leave them alive.
"I greatly admire your fighting prowess. Why don't you come with me? I'll take you to the Ninth Heaven!"
