Swish——

A sword seals the throat.

The wolf's head was immediately cut, slicing upwards along the spine. The blood rushed out, instilling dread in the heart.

Right hand wielding the sword, left hand forming a seal, the sword leaves a trail of countless mysteries in its passage. After extracting the iron wire and kicking the corpse away, the wolf corpse was unexpectedly caught by a wave of red mist before hitting the ground.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice the bizarre shape of the red mist advancing from all directions, rising from the ground like a giant pair of hands holding the wolf corpse, gently lowering it. The wounds healed at a visible speed, filled by the pulsating pink-red fog.

However, Jiang Feng showed no surprise at all, even turning around to ignore the wolf corpse. His left hand maintained the sword seal posture, lifting, lowering, sweeping, dancing; his actions were seamless. The azure Sword Qi, following the command of his two fingers, intertwined and overlapped incessantly.

Wherever he pointed, Sword Qi would fall, slaying the bird beasts resembling black crows.

Blood splattered and various body fragments landed; fighting in such an environment was not exactly a wise choice, yet Jiang Feng's purpose for this trip was exceedingly simple—he only needed to do two things.

Battle, advancement.

However, even for the sake of combat, it was impossible to continue against these mind-lost and poison-harried demon beasts. Though their exhibited strength was formidable enough to wreak havoc in the outskirts of the seven hundred-mile old capital, the longer they delayed, the more unexpected occurrences arose.

He could already feel more and more eyes watching them from the surroundings, but hindered by the distance too far to approach. If it were normal times, fighting could be heard from miles away; it was merely the sealing that made it so everyone's steps were restricted.

"Yue Yue."

Called out a name.

The tacit understanding between the two needed no extensive communication. The pink Gu Worms spread, painting the ground pink, catching all the scattered bird beast fragments.

The wounds were completely filled and covered, consumed utterly. She could now only rely on this method to mask the Blood Food scent, to prevent more demon beasts from being drawn by the aroma.

The scene before them terrified the cultivators, especially seeing Jiang Feng's sword Qi slashing down one after another, slaughtering the wolf monster they couldn't even counter. In his hands, it was as if kicking a stray dog dead by the roadside; dispatched with a couple of sword strokes.

And after the wolf beast's body recovered, it did not continue attacking Jiang Feng and his companions but turned instead towards the demon beasts attracted by the commotion and charged at them directly!

Xu Huoyao always proved its worth under such circumstances.

Although both carried Xu Huoyao within their bodies, it was here one could see the directional deviation between Southern Border and Central Plains individuals in their cultivation. Cen Yueyue could precisely control Xu Huoyao to do anything she wanted, including mending wounds and linking nerves to briefly "revive" the opponent and control their bodies to fight for her.

Jiang Feng, on the other hand, could only issue simple commands, like "kill him" or "go for it." Sometimes, after giving orders, he wouldn't even know what the little guy inside him would do.

"Let's go."

Flashing a smile, he pushed off with his legs, lifting the exhausted and nearly incapacitated man, sprinting towards the Poisonous Land's exit, Cen Yueyue following closely behind.

But her expression wasn't any better; not to mention, Jiang Feng who was smiling just a moment ago now had a somber face, his brows deeply furrowed.

Howl——

The wolf's howling continued.

The further they ran, the more distant they became—not just the two of them, but three, including the injured cultivator being carried by Jiang Feng. As they fled the scene, they sensed another Spiritual Beast's aura from behind, its Blood Evil aura at least several times stronger than the previous wolf beast.

Counting silently within himself, he didn't resort to Sword Flight but relied on his astonishing legs, leaping several meters at a time, darting left and right swiftly, his steps somewhat heavy, calculating the distance he could cover with each jump while also...

"No sound anymore, it hasn't even been ten finger-snaps."

The howls and roars of the wolf beast behind gradually grew sorrowful, like a wild dog having its throat bitten by a fierce beast, the howls increasingly wretched and piercing, ceasing completely after a few cries. The forest regained its quiet, an eerie kind of tranquility.

They had only fled the scene for about a minute, yet it was hard to accept they had managed to escape less than a mile in that minute.

Which was less than five hundred meters.

This was almost on par with normal people; many with good physical fitness could run a mile within ten finger-snaps, yet in this environment, they managed only this much.

Without stopping, the two hadn't delved into the core of Dongyue's old capital, still lingering outside, pressing on for another five minutes. Their speed had dropped slightly but they finally broke free from the Poisonous Land's influence.

Plop!

Stepping on the fallen leaves.

Only after leaving the Poisonous Land's shroud behind did they feel the heavy stone pressing on their chests dissipate, not only did the speed of Spiritual Energy circulation return to normal, but even their physical movements had no hesitation or delay.

His eyes filled with astonishment; he couldn't have imagined this Poisonous Land to be so terrifying. Before coming, his senior sister had mentioned to him how after the land was sealed, it was akin to those Grotto Heavens forcefully sealed by others. Only then did he finally realize how horrifying this thing was.
