Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

The world spun around.

Wu Xiaode staggered a few steps, steadied himself, and quickly surveyed his surroundings.

He saw a long, shadowy, narrow passage.

Behind him was the coffin plank.

The entire passage was very quiet.

The singing had completely disappeared.

Only the slight tremor of the coffin plank behind him allowed him to faintly hear the angry roars and taunts of the creature from "Death Land."

Wu Xiaode understood.

If he retreated now, he would return to "Death Land."

Only a fool would retreat.

He took a step forward and began to run along the passage.

To be honest, the passage was quite long, and it was unclear where it would lead.

An hour later.

Wu Xiaode stopped, looking somewhat confused.

He had been running at full speed for so long but had found nothing.

The passage seemed endless.

Why was this?

Could it really be this long?

——Try again!

He continued running for about two more hours.

The passage still showed no sign of an end.

Wu Xiaode stopped, gradually forming a hypothesis in his mind.

——There was something wrong with the passage.

The Evil Spirit Book moved slightly, as if something was about to emerge.

"Golden Dog," Wu Xiaode called out.

The Evil Spirit Book immediately turned to a page, revealing the image of the Golden Dog.

"After watching for so long, I remembered something—this kind of passage might be a high-level technique of the 'Dark' element," said the Golden Dog.

"What is the Dark element?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Your power leans towards 'Thunder,' one of the inverse Five Elements 'Wind, Thunder, Light, Dark, Sound,' and 'Dark' is one of them," the Golden Dog said.

"Is there a way to break it?" Wu Xiaode asked again.

"Generally there is, but this passage seems to contain some 'Evil' air, I don't dare to try rashly..." said the Golden Dog fearfully.

Wu Xiaode pondered for a few moments, suddenly saying:

"Since it's a 'Dark' element passage, it couldn't have appeared from nothing, someone must have used the power of 'Dark.'"

"Right, so what?" the Golden Dog said.

"I'll go find that person," Wu Xiaode said.

He pulled out the Sand Flowing Flag from his back and asked, "Is it okay to use you here?"

The Sand Flowing Flag shook, seeming excited, and said in a muffled voice:

"No problem! In fact, using me here is the right choice."

"Alright—"

Wu Xiaode grabbed the Sand Flowing Flag and waved it wildly, shouting:

"Go! Take me to the moment this passage was just completed!"

Endless yellow sand surged out of the void, sweeping him away.

In an instant.

Everything began to rewind.

Until a certain moment——

The entire narrow passage suddenly only had a section left.

This was the moment it was being constructed!

Wu Xiaode appeared out of thin air in the dark void, looking at the girl standing at the front of the passage casting magic.

——A human girl!

The girl was wearing a fitted peach-colored Taoist robe with a storage bag at her waist, standing smartly there.

However, her bright eyes showed fear and anxiety.

"Don't be afraid, I'm human!" Wu Xiaode quickly shouted.

"Help me! Quickly!" the girl shouted at the same time.

Wu Xiaode was slightly stunned.

——This little girl doesn't look even ten years old.

Why isn't she shy?

The girl continued shouting:

"Behind——something is chasing me!"

As she spoke, she was still waving her arms, constructing the dark and narrow passage.

She seemed to be desperately avoiding something.

Realizing this, Wu Xiaode immediately looked behind her——

A wriggling long tongue shattered the coffin plank, stretching forward along the narrow passage.

The tongue's body was already filling the passage, and its forked tip moved up and down, licking the passage walls as if constantly searching for food.

It was only two meters away from the little girl!

At this critical moment, Wu Xiaode, like fighting a fire, flashed past her, effortlessly drawing the Butterfly Soul Knife.

——Light and Dark Black Dragon!

A blazing saber light surged into the air, transforming into a dragon shape, heading straight for the forked tongue.

The sound of dense slashes filled the entire passage.

The long tongue was instantly blocked.

Blood splattered, staining the entire passage.

A miserable howl came from the other side of the coffin plank.

The long tongue immediately retracted.

Seizing the moment, the girl waved her hands, continuing to construct the passage forward.

"Cover me a bit longer!"

She shouted loudly.

Wu Xiaode took a deep breath, standing on high alert, watching the tattered coffin plank.

Who knows what will happen next.

But——

He assumed a posture on the spot, pressing his hand on the sword, and said in a deep voice:

"No matter what, if it's just to hold out for a while, I think I can do it."

Boom!

The coffin lid was completely knocked open.

An eye filled with violent murderous intent occupied the entire passage, staring fiercely at Wu Xiaode.

No one knew how large its body was, but its eye alone was larger than Wu Xiaode's entire body.

Whoosh—

A dim light shot out from the eye, instantly penetrating the entire passage and striking Wu Xiaode.

At the moment it hit Wu Xiaode—

Wu Xiaode clenched his fist and struck.

Dragon Snake Awakens!

"Invincible" possessed him again, yet he still spat out a mouthful of blood.

A line of bronze small characters appeared:

"Be grateful, this one glance could destroy three thousand worlds instantly."

Wu Xiaode wiped the corner of his mouth, feebly waving at the eye and said:

"Listen, I take back what I said earlier, you're the greatest, please don't glare at me."

While speaking, he directly released a giant dark hand to protect himself.

The eye seemed somewhat taken aback.

Silently, one after another, humanoid creatures with snake heads and four legs crawled out from the giant eye, rushing towards Wu Xiaode along the passage walls.

"How much longer? They're about to start fighting!"

Wu Xiaode shouted without turning his head.

"Still 50 meters left!" the little girl shouted back.

Wu Xiaode gritted his teeth.

To defend against the pupil skill that could destroy three thousand worlds, he had to use the giant dark hand to protect himself.

Then the attack must use other means!

No choice, he had to enhance the power of other methods.

Wu Xiaode directly entered the "Burning God" state, his body erupting with a towering cascade of dark light.

He drew out the Desert Sword and shouted in a low voice:

"Slash!"

——A Long Moon through Sparse Shadows!

This move required enough soul power, the more soul power, the stronger the sword strike!

However, in the "Burning God" state, Wu Xiaode's "Evil Spirit Power surged like a tide on your body, ready to replace the consumption of soul power at any time"!

His soul power bar instantly emptied, then filled again, and emptied again!

After three consecutive cycles—

A line of bronze small characters jumped out:

"You have triggered the secret of this sword with infinite evil spirit power, releasing the secret sword formula—"

"Grand Torrent."

The blade of the Desert Sword gradually erupted with dazzling sword light.

Like a giant cannon, Wu Xiaode could barely hold the sword, had to add his left hand to firmly grip the hilt.

Boom—

The torrent-like sword light surged out, instantly penetrating the passage behind, sweeping all evil objects along and blasting them away.

The sword light lasted for three breaths, then ceased.

Wu Xiaode only felt dizzy.

Indeed, he possessed enough evil spirit power to unleash this unrivaled sword technique.

But with his realm and strength, using such a level of secret sword still made his spirit incredibly weary.

"Are you done?" he asked.

"Brother, hurry over here!" the little girl shouted from afar.

At this time, she had already constructed more than 50 meters of passage and was urgently waving to Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode rushed over.

The little girl grabbed his hand, turned back to look into the passage, and formed a hand gesture with one hand.

"Dark Element · Maze of Hundred Flowers!"

In an instant.

The flower-shaped jade pendant hanging at the little girl's waist released immense power, infusing into her hand gesture.

——Taoist Formulas Achieved!

The dim passage suddenly disconnected from behind them.

Only about five meters of passage floated like a flying boat, carrying the two of them in mid-air.

The originally long passage began to automatically construct.

It rapidly extended, building forked passages, swiftly spreading in all directions, within moments turning into a maze and extending into deeper darkness.

Only the five-meter passage where Wu Xiaode and the little girl stood was independent of the maze.

The little girl gestured silence towards Wu Xiaode.

The next moment.

Dense sounds came from within the passage.

No one knew what kind of monsters appeared in the passage and started pursuing the two along the path.

The little girl quietly crouched down, pressed her hand on the ground.

This disconnected section of the passage carried the two, slowly floating in the direction away from the maze.

After flying for about an hour.

The tension on the little girl's face slightly eased.

"Thank you, friend, for saving my life."

She cupped her hands in greeting, but did not speak, communicating with Wu Xiaode through sound transmission.

She addressed him as friend.

Could she be from the cultivation side?

Wu Xiaode returned the greeting and asked through sound transmission: "No need to thank, humans should support each other——still don't know your name? When you saw me, you had no doubts about my identity? Aren't you afraid I'm a monster?"

The little girl smiled slightly and said: "I sensed the sword qi of the sword at your waist."

"Sword Qi?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Yes, your sword qi is somewhat like my third senior brother's——the so-called sword cultivator, the sword matches the person, I can never doubt a sword cultivator." the little girl said.

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

Because he was a sword cultivator, she trusted him.

Isn't this a bit too trusting?

But the little girl cupped her hands again and said: "I beg you to save me, I absolutely cannot die here."

"Because if I die, my master will definitely go mad, and then my senior brothers will also go mad."

"All worlds would be doomed."

Wu Xiaode cupped his hands and said: "No problem, still don't know which sect you're from? Which world did you come from?"

The little girl straightened up and said solemnly:

"Divine Martial Cultivation World, Flower Sect, fourth in the sect ranking, Wang Lingxiu."
