The Confusion Forest was about ten miles outside of the Heaven Shaking City.

There were many demonic beasts inside. According to legends, there were Core Formation and Nascent Soul demonic beasts in the depths, but no one had ever seen one.

However, there were many cultivators who risked their lives because there were very few wealthy cultivators. Those rogue cultivators would need to find some resources to cultivate.

The outer area of the Confusion Forest was where the disciples of the Four Great Clans trained in the Heaven Shaking City. Of course, it was limited to the outer area.

The forest at night was abnormally quiet.

At this moment, Lin Hao was rushing towards the depths. He had to avoid the outer regions and go deeper, so as to avoid encountering others.

"Fireball!"

A cold cry suddenly sounded from the depths of the Confusion Forest.

A few fireballs converged from all directions, aiming straight at a towering tree.

"Bam!" With a muffled sound, wood shavings flew everywhere, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared everywhere.

"Crack!"

The tree collapsed.

"It seems like this fireball technique is indeed not simple. No wonder it was able to destroy Lin Bao's low rank magic tool!" Lin Hao whispered.

That night, Lin Hao impatiently used the Fireball Technique. Ever since Lin Hao had won with great difficulty, he had begun to suspect that there was something unusual about the Fireball Technique.

Lin Hao had just avoided the outer area of the Fireball Technique when he hastily tried to confirm the fireball technique's might.

As expected, he didn't disappoint Lin Hao.

"We will stop here for today. Starting from tomorrow, I will find some demon beasts to fight with in order to achieve an early breakthrough!"

Lin Hao found another big tree, and hollowed out the middle. Tonight, Lin Hao would pass his days in the tree cave.

"Hu!"

Lin Hao wiped the sweat off his forehead and casually placed a sixth level Qi Refining beast core into the jade bracelet.

"This is the second one today." Lin Hao muttered to himself.

Starting from the second day, he began his hard training.

A full ten days had passed, but Lin Hao was still at the fifth level of Qi Refining and had yet to break through.

However, Lin Hao's combat experience was already extremely rich.

In the first few days, Lin Hao found some 4th level Refinement Stage demon beasts, then 5th level Refinement Stage. Until now, Lin Hao could still barely defeat the 6th level Refinement Stage demon beast.

Lin Hao's progress was extremely obvious.

"There are only ten days until the start of the competition. I haven't broken through yet." Lin Hao thought.

"Seems like I still don't have enough pressure."

Actually, when Lin Hao fought with a sixth level Qi Refining demonic beast, he felt that he was about to break through, but he was still missing something.

Therefore, Lin Hao decided to go deeper and look for higher level demon beasts, hoping to break through to Qi Disciple level 6!

Although the inner layer of the Confusion Forest was filled with dangers, Lin Hao thought that it wouldn't be a problem for him to be a bit more careful.

After all, he still had the crystal ball given to him by the white-browed elder.

He could still sense danger or high-level demon beasts when he encountered them.

It was noon. The burning sun shone on Lin Hao's face, but he ignored it. His thin face was filled with determination.

Lin Hao had already entered deep into the Confusion Forest. During this period of time, he had also encountered some dangers, but fortunately, he had managed to avoid them. Although he had also suffered some injuries, it didn't have much effect on Lin Hao.

However, Lin Hao had yet to encounter any seventh level Qi Refinement demonic beasts. He had encountered some Foundation Establishment demonic beasts, which Lin Hao was unable to defeat.

As he was walking, suddenly, Lin Hao heard what seemed to be a conversation in front of him. Lin Hao's body flashed, and he hid under a big tree.

"What!?" There is actually a Core Formation cultivator here! "

Lin Hao was shocked because the crystal ball in his arms had turned red.

Lin Hao decided to see the situation first. He would leave after they left in order to avoid being discovered by them. After all, the Immortal Cultivation World was a place where the strong preyed on the weak!

"Zhoumin, obediently follow me. Our Lord Devil Lord really likes you!"

At this moment, deep in the forest, a man and a woman were conversing.

"So it's the Chou family." Lin Hao whispered, doing his best to conceal himself, preventing them from killing him.

"Humph!" With just you? "Zhao Qiang, my family has raised you for so many years, but I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person. Besides, you are only a Core Formation cultivator. Do you think I will be afraid of you?" Zhoumin said disdainfully.

"Hahaha …" I truly admire Lord Demon Lord. Before you left, I was able to poison you and cause your cultivation to drop! " Zhao Qiang laughed, "This time, you won't be able to escape!"

Zhao Qiang continued, "We are abandoning the light! Following the Demon Lord is the right way, your father is just a good-for-nothing! I won't be long-winded. If you don't hand it over to me voluntarily, I will force you to come. Don't blame me for not showing mercy! "

"Humph!" Today I will destroy you on behalf of my father. " Zhoumin's expression changed as she snorted coldly.

"That will depend on whether you have the ability or not!"

Zhao Qiang shouted, "Go!"

Dozens of sword shadows flew out from Zhao Qiang's surroundings and headed straight for Zhoumin.

"An insignificant skill." Zhoumin did not retreat. Instead, she performed a double-handed incantation gesture.

Suddenly, an earthen wall was formed in front of Zhoumin to block the sword's attack.

Seeing that the sword shadows were ineffective, Zhao Qiang's face turned grim.

Zhao Qiang took out a small flag that was filled with a dense amount of Yin energy.

"This is the Hundred Soul Flag that I refined using the souls of several hundred people. It's extremely powerful, I want to see just how you'll dodge it!"

After that, Zhao Qiang clasped his hands and waved the Hundred Soul Flag with all his might.

As Zhao Qiang waved, the Hundred Souls Flag began to emit a dazzling cyan light. Hundreds of souls charged out of the flag toward Zhoumin!

Seeing Zhao Qiang use the Hundred Souls Flag, Zhoumin's expression turned serious.

Taking out her Intrinsic Flying Sword, Zhoumin held it tightly in her hand.

"Go!"

Zhao Qiang let out a strange cry. Hundreds of souls charged towards Zhou Min with ferocious faces.

Zhoumin gripped her Intrinsic Flying Sword tightly and waved both her hands. A soul fragment flew over, and Zhoumin quickly killed it.

But even so, Zhoumin gradually began to feel weak. This was because his spirit energy was being consumed at a rapid pace. He was about to run out!

If he didn't have spiritual energy, he would have lost to Zhao Qiang today.

If he fell into the hands of the Demon Lord, he would use him to threaten his father. That would be terrible.

"I must not fall into the hands of the Demon Lord!" Zhoumin said fiercely.

Zhoumin's eyes darted around as if she had gone through a great mental struggle, and she finally came to a conclusion.

Upon seeing Zhoumin in a sorry state, Zhao Qiang chuckled lightly.

"I really don't know why the Demon Lord told me to be careful. Hmph, you are only at the Foundation Establishment stage now. In the past, I would still be afraid of you, but now, I, a dignified Core Formation cultivator, can easily capture you." Zhao Qiang said proudly.

"What!"

Zhao Qiang stared at Zhang Xuan in disbelief.

This was because Zhoumin had used the last bit of her spiritual power to unleash her strongest attack!

One with the sword!

Man and sword being one, it was said that it could explode with four times the power of an attack.

Zhoumin's entire body seemed to be fused with the flying knife, which was driving her to launch her strongest attack at Zhao Qiang.

"What!?" "One with the sword!" Lin Hao was shocked and then immediately went silent.

Lin Hao had heard of the 'One with the Sword' story before. He had originally thought that the sword only existed in legends.

The conditions for one to become one with the sword were extremely harsh!

First of all, I need to have a certain intimacy level with the flying sword, which is to sacrifice the flying sword for my own life. This is only one of them, and the other is that I must have a single spiritual root!

Furthermore, the side effects were very large. The ones that were light were severely injured, while the ones that were heavy were even dead.

Zhao Qiang's eyes narrowed as he hurriedly retreated.

"Ah!

With a miserable scream, Zhao Qiang flew out dozens of feet and fell to the ground. At the same time, his chest was penetrated!

After this terrifying attack, Zhoumin let out a miserable laugh and fell to the ground.

When Lin Hao saw them both fall to the ground, he didn't immediately come out because he wasn't sure if he was safe or not.

Judging from their battle, the weakest among them was a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if they were heavily injured, they would still not be a match for them!

Thus, Lin Hao waited for a moment before deciding to go out and take a look.

Walking to Zhao Qiang's side, Zhang Xuan saw Zhao Qiang's body being penetrated, and all of his facial features changed!

Lin Hao arrived in front of Zhoumin.

"She's quite pretty." After seeing Zhoumin's face, Lin Hao couldn't help but sigh. She was even prettier than Lin Wen.

Lin Hao shook his head and sighed, "What a pity. He died just like that."

"You're the one who's going to die! I won't die that easily. "
