The Demon Star Black Hole crazily devoured energy, and once again, immensely powerful energy surged into every vein and artery of Suo Lun’s body.
Before this, Suo Lun had also absorbed a tremendous amount of energy, but whether it was from the Shadow Spider Queen or the priestess of Heaven Tomb, it was all psychic energy.
The only time he truly absorbed great dragon force was when Meng Tuoluo did it. But it was only for a moment before she sent him flying with a palm strike.
Therefore, even though Meng Tuoluo was of the Warrior Layer and the current Xuesha was merely a high-ranking samurai, when it came to the total amount of dragon force absorbed, there was no doubt this time was the most.
Even his veins and arteries could barely withstand this powerful dragon force. As the energy furiously poured in, he felt excruciating pain, as if every inch of his veins was about to split open and burst.
His skin couldn’t endure it either, cracking bit by bit, with blood seeping out. Moments later, Suo Lun’s entire body was covered with a layer of blood.
This mad and painful absorption finally ended after a quarter of an hour.
All the energy had entered into the Demon Star Black Hole.
Suo Lun collapsed on the ground, gasping for air heavily.
Looking again at Xuesha, her skin no longer had any luster, and the shoulder wound from an arrow, which had seemingly healed, appeared once more, with a deep hole piercing through the entire shoulder.
How peculiar, what kind of energy allowed her to be immune to venom, and even heal her wounds so rapidly?
However, after Suo Lun absorbed the energy from her, it was as if that miraculous function vanished, and the arrow wound on her shoulder emerged once again.
Not only that, but Xuesha’s body continued to change.
Suddenly, countless wounds appeared on her previously graceful and enchanting body: cuts, sword wounds, and even burns. Moreover, many muscles started to bulge abnormally.
In an instant, her once alluring and sensual body had become wretched and unpleasant to look at.
After her energy was devoured, all the previous injuries she had suffered emerged.
"Master, there is indeed a very strange and evil energy within Xuesha’s body," Yao Xing suddenly said.
Suo Lun said, "This energy is powerful, enabling her to ignore venom and quickly heal her injuries."
Yao Xing said, "It’s miraculous, but it’s not the effect of this energy; instead, it overdraws her own life force to quickly mend her wounds."
At these words, Suo Lun was taken aback.
Yao Xing continued, "So even if Master doesn’t kill her, she wouldn’t live for many more years. She is deeply aware of this, which is why she is so frenzied and twisted."
No wonder, when her strange energy was devoured, all of the wounds on her body reappeared.
This energy was indeed extremely evil. And like certain drugs, once addicted, one could never break free.
Once capable of instantaneous healing, who would choose to endure weeks of recuperation? Yet all of this came at the cost of one’s life force.
Then, Suo Lun thought of a question and hurriedly asked, "Wouldn’t this evil energy affect me?"
"Not at all, this energy is now entirely within my black hole, and I won’t allow even a trace of it to enter Master’s body," Yao Xing said. "In the coming time, I will separate this energy from the dragon force. The dragon power will be used to enhance your cultivation. As for this mysterious energy, I will study it in detail to see where it comes from, what are its properties, and whether it can be transformed."
Relieved to hear that the energy would not affect him, Suo Lun breathed a sigh of relief.
Yao Xing said, "Master, I have a feeling that this energy will certainly surprise us. Its evilness and weirdness will surely shine in our hands."
Suo Lun did not respond, but the words ’World-Ending Demon Emperor’ involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
He also had a feeling that this evil energy might be far more terrifying than he imagined.
In the subsequent period, Yao Xing was constantly separating the evil energy, purifying the absorbed dragon force.
Meanwhile, Suo Lun was comfortably taking a bath in the tub.
Nobody entered Xuesha’s room, let alone walked past it, so he didn’t have to worry about the Sand Bandits discovering Xuesha’s death.
Every time Xuesha tormented a man, it was incredibly brutal and violent, and those Sand Bandits were afraid of being implicated by association.
Therefore, for the next three days, they dared not pass by Xuesha’s room.
After all, their female leader was possessed by the Serpent Spirit, nearly immortal, and thus there was no need to worry about her being harmed.
Every time she was poisoned or injured, she would quickly recover as before.
This was precisely why she became the leader of the Venomous Sand Thieves and was revered almost like a deity.
After bathing and getting dressed in new clothes, he felt refreshed.
Now, the problem Suo Lun faced was how to escape, take Xuesha’s head, and return to the Silver Wolf Legion to report.
Don’t even dream of it. That would be suicidal. There were at least a hundred people here whose martial skills exceeded Suo Lun’s, and they could easily kill him.
Moreover, this was an ancient underground city, sealed off entirely with no opened exits; no one could leave.
For Suo Lun, killing Xuesha might have been relatively simple, but escaping was bound to be extremely difficult.
Of course, Suo Lun already had a plan.
Among the goods he purchased were large quantities of salt, whale oil, and black gold ore.
