Otherworldly Desert Dust

Having crushed Chang Yi's neck underfoot, Wu Hen's heart no longer experienced even the slightest ripple.

In traversing the Desert Dust, one must understand that the first principle is to conceal oneself; the second principle is to be resolute and ruthless!

It was clear that this otherworldly realm did not possess extremely distinct ranks, and even the lowliest of mayflies, should they find an opportunity, could leap to become a phoenix among the heavens.

So, once one perceived the enmity of the other, once one detected the other in the "Evolutionary Stage," they had to be slain immediately. Otherwise, in a blink of an eye, the other would be stepping on one's head.

Danger and opportunity coexisted; as long as one lived, there would always be a chance to soar to the heavens.

After killing Chang Yi, Wu Hen's eyes, when gazing at Gu Yue and Qing Meng, no longer showed the struggles of a small fish in a harsh environment but rather the ferocity of a grown shark—a predator in this otherworldly Ocean!

Little Yi drank the soul breath of the same Cangxia level, and the Black Divine Material once again stirred, which made Wu Hen even more certain that by hunting Gu Yue and Qing Meng, the Black Divine Death Sword would awaken once more.

Even Gu Yue, a presence close to the Heavenly Light, was still not Wu Hen's ultimate target.

He intended to hunt down the Purple Robed Master as well!

As the essence blood seeped into the air, Wu Hen's Sacred Baby within seemed to gain nourishment, growing even more powerful.

Wu Hen began to walk towards the fragmented battleground.

The time was ripe.

It was time to enter the field and harvest!

Wu Hen's body turned into a bolt of lightning, instantly crossing over the mountains and forests. Across the Ocean that had overflowed onto the island, he cut a deep, dozens-of-meters-long wave line on the water's surface.

Leaping into the air, his body was surrounded by numerous Electric Blades, forming a chaotic network that released currents into the surrounding space as he moved. These currents seemed to enhance his speed to its upper limit, making him like a human fighter jet, breaking through the air and flying through the clouds!

Without any superfluous words, electric slaughter material appeared on Wu Hen's palm, bright and radiant as if grasping a bolt of lightning!

He swung it directly towards Gu Yue's face in mid-air!

"Smack!!!"

The Electric Blade slapped Gu Yue's focused face fiercely.

Gu Yue was shocked, using Holy Light to protect himself as he retreated rapidly.

Once in a safe position, Gu Yue used the back of his hand to rub his burning cheek, finding a deep wound just short of his eye corner!

"Who are you..." Gu Yue was about to question but quickly saw a familiar figure in the interwoven light of the Electric Blades.

The figure was very familiar, but for some reason, his face looked a bit strange.

"Junior Brother, what are you doing!" Qing Meng exclaimed in amazement.

"Sending Senior Brother on his way," Wu Hen said, then attacked Gu Yue again.

The air around him was not only filled with countless electric sparks but also manifested a black crystal frost material. This substance spread and grew at an absurd speed, sprouting an exaggerated black thorn bush wherever Wu Hen flew!

With his left hand clenched into a fist, the Black Frost Crystal swirling, Wu Hen struck Gu Yue's face with a heavy punch. Without mobilizing all his strength, the deep-seated hatred and anger within this host's bones allowed his power to explode to its extreme!

Holy Power wrapped around his arm, with the Black Frost Crystal gathering in his fist, and the Electric Slaughter Material intertwined with the Dark Nether Material, two extremely violent substances, bursting with terrifying power instantly!

"Boom!!!!"

The punch unleashed a black ice howl mixed with a thousand Electric Blades, rushing towards Senior Brother Gu Yue.

Gu Yue gasped, clearly feeling the Black Frost Ice Domain invading his Sacred Body, suppressing his Totem Bloodline.

Earlier, he had poured all his strength into the Ying Snake's vital points, leaving it with only a breath, thinking victory was at hand, and he never expected that the one to attack him would be this Junior Brother...

What shocked Gu Yue even more was that the Junior Brother had completely transformed, showing unimaginable power intent on taking his life.

Gu Yue fled in panic, the Black Frost close behind.

He defended against the Black Frost's assault with all his might, but the Electric Blades began to cut into his skin and muscle.

Quickly, Gu Yue was battered and bleeding all over.

When dealing with the Ying Snake, he had managed to maintain a dignified image, but did not expect this Junior Brother's punch to leave him this disheveled.

"Qing Meng!!"

"Hold him off for a moment, let me catch my breath, I'll kill him like a bug!"

Gu Yue, exhausted, cried out to Qing Meng for help while fleeing.

Now he was spent; the Ying Snake's vitality was so abundant that he couldn't kill it without exerting all his strength...

Always thinking he could control the situation and take down the Ying Snake without fail, he didn't foresee such deep concealment from another.

Facing Senior Brother Gu Yue, Wu Hen didn't hold back at all.

He had chosen the best timing; any later, and Gu Yue would have recovered and absorbed the Ying Snake's essence blood.

Wu Hen's strike could both preserve the Ying Snake's last breath and target Gu Yue at his weakest.

As for Qing Meng...

Wu Hen couldn't account for her anymore.

No one, no matter how wise, could anticipate everything; Qing Meng was the most uncertain factor in this hunt. She was inherently fickle, sometimes friendly and sometimes indifferent.

How much strength she had conserved, Wu Hen didn't know.

But every passing second was increasingly unfavorable, leaving Wu Hen no choice but to gamble.

Gamble that Qing Meng wouldn't help Gu Yue.

Gu Yue was always the Senior Brother, lording over everyone.

If Qing Meng was smart enough, cunning enough, she would sit back and let Wu Hen and Gu Yue tear each other apart!

In Wu Hen's view, hiding and taking risks were not contradictory.

The key lay in a decisive choice—when to hide and when to reveal one's lethal edge.

"Junior Sister!!"

"All the credit shall be yours!!"

"All I want is that damned scum dead!!"

"We completely misjudged; he was ambitious all along. If I die, he won't spare you. Don't be foolish, Junior Sister!"

Gu Yue shouted, like a cornered dog pursued by a blade.

Wu Hen, exuding killing intent, wielded the Black Frost Crystal without restraint, battling Gu Yue to the death!

It was either you die, or I die.

Facing someone nearly at the Heavenly Light level, Wu Hen knew he couldn't afford to hesitate; if he let Gu Yue gain even a moment's respite, he would be the one to die.

Disregard all distractions, kill!

Qing Meng's face showed hesitance and struggle, but a hint of pleasure in her eyes.

She hadn't expected the final decision to rest in her hands.

She didn't dare strike down the Senior Brother, but someone else was doing it for her, the Junior Brother she had always treated as a servile toy.

But Senior Brother wasn't entirely wrong.

The Junior Brother had hidden his true self very deeply, and his target was undoubtedly more than just Senior Brother Gu Yue.

He was definitely the one with the most conserved strength; if Senior Brother was killed by him here, he would still have the power to kill her...

Who should she choose?

Choose the Senior Brother, always on top, or the resurgent Junior Brother?

What would the Master think of such a result—joy or blame?

"Master let the Junior Brother take the lead, not out of disappointment in the Senior Brother, but to curb his arrogance. To remind him that, even near the Heavenly Light, he is still Master's disciple. As for the half-blooded Junior Brother, he never mattered in Master's eyes."

Upon realizing this, Qing Meng made her decision—not to choose the Junior Brother or the Senior Brother but to choose Master. Not angering the Master meant receiving more favor!

Understanding this, Qing Meng finally acted.

She swung her hand, unleashing golden Red Flames, surging towards the unstoppable Wu Hen.

Wu Hen felt the woman's interference and his heart sank.

Foolish creature!

Relying only on men, without any idea of self-improvement.

If Junior Sister Qing Meng had even a tenth of Tu Shanlan's intelligence, she would have let the two of them fight to the death and then reaped the benefits.

The Master couldn't know what happened within the Nuwa God End, and even if he guessed that his last remaining female disciple benefited the most, would he kill her for it?

"Junior Sister, relying on men won't get you far. You truly disappoint me," Wu Hen said, his gaze turning both disdainful and fierce.

"Junior Brother, don't be stubborn. Surrender now and I can plead for you before Master; let you live," Qing Meng flew in front of Wu Hen, using a Holy Wall to block his pursuit.

"You never saw me as a person. Do you even believe your own words... If you block me now, I will fight you to the death, and the one to gain will be Senior Brother Gu Yue," Wu Hen said coldly.

This had a deterrent effect.

Qing Meng, seeing the fearsome Black Frost and Electric Slaughter around Wu Hen, realized that her Junior Brother was now immensely powerful, a threat to both her and the Senior Brother.

But perhaps out of arrogance, seeing him still as a mere servant, Qing Meng's face turned cold as she said, "Junior Brother, allowing you as my dog was for your own good. Did you really think grasping Dark Nether Frost allowed you to step over me?"

"Indeed, you deserve death more than Gu Yue!" Wu Hen scoffed, realizing this Senior Sister saw him as nothing.

"Junior Sister, wise choice! Once I recuperate, I'll make him beg for death," Gu Yue said joyfully.

Wu Hen's right hand gradually manifested a Black Frost Demon Crystal Blade, a thick deathly aura spreading around it.

If the gamble was wrong, then fight to the death!

"Bitch, turn to ash!!!" Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out, filled with boundless killing intent.

A red, graceful figure descended from the sky, a long leg arcing like a blazing meteor, like a divine Valkyrie smiting earthly evil!

The Valkyrie kicked a Blazing Fire Meteor, aimed high above at Qing Meng.

Caught off guard, Qing Meng was struck by the descending Red Sparrow girl, her features distorting as she was hurled into the remains of Ying Snake!

"Wu Hen, kill that dog. This vile woman is mine!" Mingyi briefly hovered in midair before transforming into a radiant Fire Sparrow diving towards the ground.

Someone's eyes were filled with amazement!

His heart pounded wildly...

Damn, was this love?

Too violent, too beautiful, too irresistible!

Indeed, he sometimes miscalculated... but he was not fighting alone!
