How many times does a normal person have to die in the world of cultivation?

Li Xiaoxiao walked quickly, her heart beating like a drum, and the stone steps made a banging sound with every step.

Her mind kept recalling the strange scene just now. The old man turned into a sculpture, and the others disappeared without a trace. The mysterious figure seemed to have hidden meanings in every word, making her unable to find a clue.

When she stepped onto the 30th step panting, the air around her suddenly became bitterly cold, and every breath felt like inhaling ice.

She hugged her arms tightly, trying to use her spiritual power to resist the cold, but found it was useless. Soon she couldn't help shivering and her teeth chattering.

I feel like I was thrown into Harbin in winter without even wearing a down jacket.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound broke the silence, and countless black sword energies attacked her from all directions.

These sword energies carried a breath of destruction, and wherever they passed, the stone steps collapsed and turned into powder.

Li Xiaoxiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly circulated the spiritual power around his body to form a spiritual power shield in front of him.

The sword energy hit the shield, making a series of dense crisp sounds and sparks flying.

The trembling of her body and the consumption of her spiritual energy made her feel a little overwhelmed.

He could only grit his teeth and search for the source of the sword energy in the darkness, but all he could see was nothingness.

"Hmph, with the limited strength you have now, you dare to step onto this altar?" A cold voice sounded in the darkness, full of ridicule and disdain.

Li Xiaoxiao's heart trembled, and he responded loudly: "Who are you and what is your purpose?"

The voice sounded again: "It doesn't matter who I am."

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow passed over Li Xiaoxiao's head like lightning, bringing up a strong gust of wind.

Li Xiaoxiao looked up suddenly and saw only a blurry black shadow. He had no time to react.

Just as the black shadow was about to hit her, she subconsciously dodged to the side, but the black shadow still brushed her shoulder, leaving a deep blood mark.

Blood gushed out and quickly coagulated in the cold air.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't care about the pain, she knew very well that she couldn't just sit there and wait to die.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner fear and panic, concentrating on feeling the flow of spiritual energy around him.

Amid the chaotic fluctuations of spiritual power, she finally caught the trace of the black shadow.

The black shadow seemed to be composed of pure dark spiritual power, hidden in the darkness and extremely difficult to detect.

However, as long as the opponent approaches within ten meters of her, her sensing skills will capture him before her spiritual power.

She quickly mobilized the spiritual power in her body and condensed it in the palm of her right hand, forming a spiritual power ball that radiated dazzling light.

This spiritual ball contains all her strength. Once released, it will produce enormous power.

A few minutes later, just when Li Xiaoxiao thought he was going to freeze to death, the other party finally took action.

As he just stepped into the range of the sensing skill, Li Xiaoxiao shot the spirit ball towards the black shadow with all his strength.

The spiritual power ball was like a fired cannonball, cutting through the darkness and rushing towards the shadow with an unstoppable momentum.

At the moment when the black shadow was about to be hit, even though the black shadow sensed the danger, he had no way to avoid it.

With a loud "boom", the spirit ball exploded in the dark shadow. The powerful impact force instantly dispelled the surrounding darkness, and the light illuminated the entire space.

Li Xiaoxiao was affected by the power and flew out directly, with blood spurting out of his mouth.

Maybe her body was numb from the cold, so even though she lost most of her body and saw her intestines scattered all over the floor, she didn't feel any pain.

As the light gradually faded, Li Xiaoxiao's eyes dimmed and a faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth.

Just when she thought she was going to restart the system and be reborn, her body was lifted up by a force and she had no power to resist.
