"Little girl, now you know how powerful your mother's bloodline was, right? It's a pity you didn't inherit it. Otherwise, you might have lived a little longer, and I could have absorbed you more, haha..." Du Qingyang released Chenyang's shoulders and laughed wildly.

Just then, another change occurred!

Chenyang, who was entangled by Du Qingyang's body, felt a slight loosening of her body. A fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly raised her right arm, pointing her fingers like a knife, and stabbed directly into the former's body.

On her arm, more than twenty Xuan Apertures lit up in circles, each one emitting a dazzling light like the scorching sun, accompanied by a strong sense of heat.

A "poof" sound was heard.

A bloody light appeared on Du Qingyang's waist and abdomen, and he was pierced again.

Chenyang's right arm, like a sharp blade, was like the white bone sword, only piercing in a finger's length, and then it was difficult to advance an inch.

"Humph, obstinate..." Du Qingyang looked down at the wound beneath him and snorted coldly.

However, before he could finish his words, a "bang" explosion rang out.

Then, the sounds of "bang" and "bang" continued one after another!

Chenyang's entire right arm, which had pierced into Du Qingyang's body, exploded in all directions under the flashing white light of the Xuan Apertures on its surface, blasting a bloody, indistinct hole in Du Qingyang's waist and abdomen.

Du Qingyang roared, and the head he raised opened its bloody mouth again, with a torrent of scarlet blood gushing out, still furiously biting down on Chenyang.

The accumulated injuries in his body could no longer be suppressed, and the colorful scales all over his body flickered uncertainly, as if they were about to disappear at any moment.

Chenyang's face changed drastically, and in her panic, she could only use her remaining left arm to block in front of her.

"Whoosh..."

Just then, a whistling sound rang out.

A blurry figure shot out from a distance, revealing a tall figure covered in blood.

He suddenly raised a fist, with "bang bang bang" explosions continuously on his arm, lighting up more than a dozen Xuan Apertures, and smashed it down on the white bone sword stuck on Du Qingyang's face by Gu Qianxun.

With a loud "boom",

Gu Qianxun felt a numbness in her arm, and she couldn't hold the long sword, which slipped out of her hand directly, and her body was shaken away.

The white bone sword swept across, no longer blocked by bones, and sliced past.

The colorful scales on Du Qingyang's neck shattered with a "peng" sound, and his head was split in half, falling from Chenyang's shoulder with a dull thud.

Then, with another flash of the white bone sword, it pierced into his lower abdomen, shattering the Nascent Soul within.

Chenyang's eyes widened suddenly, half of her face was covered with blood and filth, and she froze in place, still maintaining the posture of blocking with her left arm, without moving.

This change happened so strangely and quickly that not only she, but even Gu Qianxun was stunned in place.

After a few breaths, she turned her head to look at the figure covered in blood, and a trace of shock flashed in her eyes. That person was actually the sacrifice, Li Feiyu, whom she thought was bound to die!

Naturally, it was Han Li.

What shocked her even more was that at this time, Han Li had seventy-two Xuan Apertures lit up all over his body.

In addition to the fifty-four Xuan Apertures cultivated through the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Essence Skill and the Feather Ascension Skill, eighteen new Xuan Apertures had appeared on Han Li's arms.

"Vajra Force Art... How is it possible?" Gu Qianxun noticed the position of the Xuan Apertures on Han Li's arms, and her face was full of disbelief, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

How long had it been since they exchanged cultivation methods? How could this person have opened all eighteen Xuan Apertures that the Vajra Force Art could open? Could it be because of the Kalo Blood Array?

Gu Qianxun looked at Han Li, who was covered in blood, with a hesitant expression, and made no move.

At this time, Chenyang finally came back to her senses. After her body trembled slightly, she quickly returned to normal.

Du Qingyang was already dead, so naturally he could no longer restrain her. When she slowly stood up, the former's body completely fell down, and the white bone sword embedded in it also shattered.

The three looked at each other, and for a moment, they all fell silent, and none of them made any extra movements.

Whether it was their subjective intention or not, they had killed Du Qingyang together.

After a moment, Han Li was the first to move.

"If possible, I don't want to fight you anymore." He took a step back, distancing himself from the two, and said.

Chenyang and Gu Qianxun both took a step back at the same time, their eyes full of vigilance.

"Fellow Daoist Li, that's exactly what I want." Gu Qianxun quickly replied.

"You two, we just cooperated to survive, so let's not kill each other." Chenyang showed a stiff smile on her face and said.

With that, she took out a black stone box from her bosom and took out a blood-red pill and swallowed it.

The blood-white spiritual light intertwined and converged at the wound on her right arm, which was exposed with pale white broken bones. Countless flesh buds grew wildly in the spiritual light. In the blink of an eye, a seemingly intact right arm took initial shape.

Then, Chenyang took out a piece of animal skin from somewhere and wrapped the arm, which looked like a newborn.

"What exactly is going on?" Han Li raised his hand and wiped the blood from his face and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Li, can't you see clearly? This matter was planned jointly by me and Captain Chenyang... no, it should be said that it was planned jointly by me and City Lord Chenyang. I just didn't expect that in the end, it was Fellow Daoist Li who made the final decision to kill him." Gu Qianxun said with a smile.

"So, the bottle of blood-colored liquid that I took was also left by you?" Han Li's heart moved, and he asked without showing any expression.

It seemed that Gu Qianxun and Chenyang, one wanted revenge, and the other wanted the position of city lord, took the opportunity to tamper with the Kalo Blood Array to get rid of Du Qingyang.

As a result, through a stroke of luck, he benefited from the disaster and devoured the blood and star power in the bodies of Du Qingyang and others in one fell swoop, greatly increasing his physical strength.

"It was indeed me who put it. But Fellow Daoist Li, don't worry, that bottle is just the fetal blood of the Bloodthirsty Scale Rat, which has been condensed. It can only catalyze the bloodline in your body and make it more violent. It doesn't have any toxic effects itself." Gu Qianxun said with a slightly apologetic tone.

"No toxic effects... Fellow Daoist, aren't you being a bit glib?" Han Li sneered.

"If Fellow Daoist Li wants to blame me, I have nothing to say. Indeed, the purpose of giving you this thing was to use you to backfire on Du Qingyang, and I didn't really care about what would happen to you." Gu Qianxun said frankly.

"Regarding this matter, Fellow Daoist Li, please allow me to apologize first. If I hadn't invited you to Qingyang City, your True Spirit bloodline wouldn't have been coveted by Du Qingyang, and naturally you wouldn't have encountered this series of troubles. I had no choice but to attack you many times before because I was ordered by Du Qingyang." Chenyang respectfully bowed to Han Li and said.

"Since they were all helpless actions, now that things have come to this, there is no need to dwell on them." Han Li showed a relieved smile and said.

He naturally didn't believe a word of what Chenyang and Gu Qianxun said.

In the situation at the time, he was just a pawn in the hands of these two people, and it was indeed not worth their consideration.

The reason why these two people were willing to discuss with him nicely now was only because they couldn't see through his strength and were wary of him.

"Brother Li is generous, I am sincerely convinced." Gu Qianxun smiled and bowed.

"Since we have now cleared up our misunderstandings, there is no need for me to stay here any longer. I will take my leave now." Seeing this, Han Li cupped his fists at the two of them and planned to leave.

The Black Tribulation Insects in his body had not been removed, and his life was in danger at any time. Only by finding the Black Tribulation Stone as soon as possible could he truly escape the danger.

"Brother Li, don't be anxious. Although Du Qingyang and his four trusted captains are dead, there are still many of his remaining forces. If we don't completely control them, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in peace. This time, I detonated my Xuan Apertures, and this right arm will be useless in the short term. Therefore, I have a request..." Seeing Han Li turn to leave, Chenyang quickly stopped him.

"Fellow Daoist Chenyang wants me to help you sit on the throne of Qingyang City Lord?" Han Li stopped and turned to ask.

"That's right. After this incident, I realized that Fellow Daoist Li's true strength is so strong. Therefore, I also want to invite Fellow Daoist to join the alliance between me and Fellow Daoist Gu. After we take Qingyang City together, not to mention being safe and sound, even the Beast Cores needed for future cultivation will have a stable supply, so you won't have to worry about them at all." Chenyang nodded and said.

Han Li hesitated after hearing this, and after thinking silently for a moment, he said, "I can help you, but you must agree to two conditions, otherwise, there's no point in talking."

"Please tell me, Fellow Daoist." Chenyang frowned imperceptibly and said.

"Before entering the Profound Battle Arena, I was implanted with the Black Tribulation Insects. This thing must be removed. In addition, Fellow Daoist Shi Kong and Crab Daoren, who came with me earlier, must also be released." Han Li said.

"Fellow Daoist Li, to be honest, the Black Tribulation Insect restriction was developed exclusively by Du Qingyang, and I don't know any way to解除it. However, Du Qingyang has always had a secret treasure vault, which is heavily guarded. As an important means for him to control the Profound Battle Arena, the method to解除it may be hidden there. We have to go there to look for it." Chenyang sighed and said.

"Treasure vault? Then let's go and see." Han Li nodded upon hearing this.

"That Fellow Daoist Shi Kong, I'm really sorry... I don't know why, but he was sent to Xuancheng by Du Qingcheng a long time ago, and there has been no news since then. As for Crab Daoren, he has been used as a servant by my side all these years. Not only have I not made things difficult for him, but we have gotten along quite well. If he is willing to return to Fellow Daoist's side, I will naturally not object." Chenyang said, looking at Crab Daoren who was standing far away solemnly.

Han Li also turned his head and looked over.

As a result, he saw that Crab Daoren seemed to be deaf, without any action, and looked indifferent.

Seeing this, Han Li's heart sank, but he didn't say anything more.

The cave was quiet for more than a dozen breaths, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull.

"Let's discuss this later. Fellow Daoist Chenyang, why don't you take us to the secret vault of the City Lord's Mansion first to find a way to解除the Black Tribulation Insects?" At this time, Gu Qianxun spoke to break the deadlock.

"Fellow Daoist Gu is right. But before we go, we still have to clean up here and ourselves." Chenyang said, glancing at the messy cave and the three people covered in dirt.
