60: The Conflict of the Mist, the Conflict of Spirits

Qiao Feng, Fu Hongxue, and others continued deeper into the Misty Forest. The surrounding mist grew thicker, severely obstructing their vision. They advanced cautiously, constantly vigilant of movements around them. Suddenly, a low roar came from ahead, echoing through the mist, sending chills down their spines.

"More danger is coming, everyone prepare for battle!" Qiao Feng said in a low voice. Everyone immediately gripped their weapons and assumed defensive stances. As the roar grew closer, a massive, two-headed demon wolf slowly emerged from the mist. Its two heads glowed red and blue respectively, and its fur stood up like steel needles, emitting a powerful and evil aura.

"This Two-Headed Demon Wolf is harder to deal with than the previous Misty Black Panther, everyone be careful," Fu Hongxue warned. His gaze was fixed on the Two-Headed Demon Wolf, his long saber trembling slightly, ready to attack at any moment.

Qiao Feng was the first to attack. He unleashed the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, and golden palm prints shot towards the Two-Headed Demon Wolf like cannonballs. The Two-Headed Demon Wolf's two heads roared simultaneously, and a red flame and a blue ice pillar erupted from its mouths, colliding with Qiao Feng's palm prints. The powerful spiritual energy impact instantly dispersed a large section of the surrounding mist.

The brothers from Qingfeng Stockade shot out sharp arrows, which rained down towards the Two-Headed Demon Wolf. However, the Two-Headed Demon Wolf's fur was incredibly tough; most arrows bounced off, with only a few barely penetrating the fur, causing it some minor injuries.

Fu Hongxue seized the opportunity, his figure flashing like a black lightning bolt as he charged towards the Two-Headed Demon Wolf. He unleashed the fierce Saber Qi of Bright Moon Blade of the Horizon, which crisscrossed as he tried to attack the Two-Headed Demon Wolf's vital points. The Two-Headed Demon Wolf sensed Fu Hongxue's attack, and one of its heads turned towards him, opening its maw and spewing a scorching flame at Fu Hongxue. Fu Hongxue quickly dodged, the flames grazing his body and scorching the corner of his clothes.

While everyone was fiercely fighting the Two-Headed Demon Wolf, the Dark Holy Cult's team also encountered trouble in another part of the forest. They accidentally triggered an ancient trap; the ground suddenly collapsed, and several Cultists fell into the pit. The bottom of the trap was filled with sharp wooden stakes, and the fallen Cultists cried out in agony.

"Be careful, this forest is full of traps," the Dark Holy Cult's Elder shouted. He was secretly anxious, worried that the Beyond Heaven people would find the gengjin divine stone while they were trapped.

Meanwhile, the Blood Demon Hall and Nether Ghost Sect forces also encountered different dangers. The Blood Demon Hall's experts were besieged by a group of poisonous spiders. These spiders were huge and extremely venomous; the venom they spat could instantly corrode clothing and weapons. The Disciples of the Nether Ghost Sect, on the other hand, got lost in a bewildering stone forest. The paths in the stone forest were intricate and complex, like a giant maze, making it difficult for them to find a way out.

Qiao Feng and the others' battle with the Two-Headed Demon Wolf entered a fierce stage. Qiao Feng used all his abilities, continuously unleashing the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, trying to suppress the Two-Headed Demon Wolf. Fu Hongxue continuously circled the Two-Headed Demon Wolf, looking for its weak points. The brothers from Qingfeng Stockade also continuously harassed the Two-Headed Demon Wolf from the side, creating opportunities for Qiao Feng and Fu Hongxue.

Finally, Fu Hongxue found a weakness in the Two-Headed Demon Wolf. He aimed at the neck between the Two-Headed Demon Wolf's two heads and unleashed the ultimate Saber Qi of Bright Moon Blade of the Horizon. A black Saber Qi, like a black crescent moon, slashed towards the Two-Headed Demon Wolf's neck. "Awooo!" The Two-Headed Demon Wolf let out a tragic cry, a deep wound appearing on its neck from the Saber Qi, and blood gushed out.

Qiao Feng seized the opportunity to unleash the strongest move of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, "Divine Dragon Swings Tail." A massive golden Dragon shadow charged towards the Two-Headed Demon Wolf, directly sending it flying. The Two-Headed Demon Wolf crashed heavily to the ground and, after a few struggles, stopped moving.

"Finally, this Two-Headed Demon Wolf is dealt with," Qiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

The group continued their journey, and after a difficult exploration, they finally discovered an ancient temple in a hidden valley. The temple's main gate was tightly closed, covered with mysterious runes.

"It seems this is the legendary temple that enshrines the gengjin divine stone," Fu Hongxue said.

However, just as they were about to enter the temple, the Dark Holy Cult's team also arrived. "Hmph, you are indeed here. The gengjin divine stone belongs to our Dark Holy Cult, all of you get lost!" the Dark Holy Cult's Elder said viciously.

Qiao Feng glared angrily: "This gengjin divine stone is to prevent the resurgence of ancient evil forces; your Dark Holy Cult shouldn't even dream of touching it!"

Both sides were at loggerheads, and a fierce conflict was about to erupt. Just then, the Blood Demon Hall and Nether Ghost Sect forces also arrived one after another. The Blood Demon looked at everyone and sneered, "All of you stop fighting; no one can monopolize this gengjin divine stone."

The four factions gathered before the temple, all determined to obtain the gengjin divine stone. Who will emerge victorious in this struggle for spiritual objects? In this chaotic situation, what will be the fate of the gengjin divine stone? The situation in the Jianghu is becoming increasingly complex, awaiting everyone to uncover the answers...
