Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

An intangible, formless, yet extremely faint field of annihilation, targeting ’malice’, ’Evil Qi’, and ’foul energy’, briefly expanded from the iron lump, its range limited to the small courtyard.

The giant axe leader was about to sneer when he suddenly felt the surging blood and Qi within his body violently stagnate, as if doused by something icy. The faint trace of heaven and earth Qi empowering his axe handle instantly became chaotic and dissipated! His movement inevitably displayed an extremely subtle hesitation and distortion!

*This slight hesitation!*

For an existence like Nangong Xuan, who had once stood at the Peak of the Sword Dao, it was enough!

The situation that should have been certain death was forcefully pried open by a sliver of opportunity!

He forcibly twisted his body. The wooden pole in his hand was no longer for blocking or attacking. Like a sword finger, it struck with pinpoint accuracy at the precise point of force application on the axe handle that had deviated slightly!

This single point condensed his entire mental focus and ultimate control over force at this moment!

*Ting!*

A faint, yet clear, unusual sound!

That thick axe handle was actually struck by this single point of force, causing it to veer slightly off course! It slid past Nangong Xuan’s ribs, drawing a line of blood. The pain was searing, but it was not a fatal wound!

Simultaneously, borrowing the force from that point, Nangong Xuan’s body floated backward like a willow catkin, temporarily leaving the combat circle. His face grew paler, and he breathed heavily.

The giant axe leader was stunned for a moment. He looked at the axe in his hand, then at Nangong Xuan who had only suffered a light injury. A look of shock and uncertainty appeared on his face. That moment just now felt very strange; had his own power suddenly malfunctioned?

”Damn it! Weird!” He shook his head, attributing it to a momentary lapse. His anger flared even hotter, and he raised the giant axe again.

But after that moment, Nangong Xuan understood in his heart—it was Lin Mo! It was Lin Mo’s post-Nirvana star Core, influencing the battle in a way he couldn’t comprehend! It couldn’t directly grant power, but it could ’purify’ and ’interfere’ with the opponent’s energy and state!

The hope was slim, but it wasn’t completely nonexistent!

He took a deep breath, suppressing his injuries. His eyes became even more focused and sharp as he once again assumed a fighting stance.

However, just as the giant axe leader prepared to charge again and the other bandits began to close in—

In the center of the village, the ancient well that had been sealed by a giant black stone suddenly, without any warning... trembled!

*Thump!*

A dull sound, as if from the extreme depths of the earth, clearly reached everyone’s ears!

Immediately after, from the cracks in the stone sealing the well, wisps of ink-black... dark energy began to seep out!

This dark energy was not miasma, nor Devilish Qi. It was something more ancient, more deathly, carrying endless resentment and a chilling aura! The moment it appeared, the temperature of the entire village plummeted. The inert Spiritual Qi in the air grew even more stagnant. The light of all the torches dimmed sharply, as if about to be devoured by the dark energy!

”Arghhh!”

The bandits closest to the ancient well, slightly touched by the dark energy, immediately let out agonizing screams. Their bodies visibly withered and shriveled at a rapid pace, turning into skin-and-bone mummies in the blink of an eye, with two points of ghostly green flame igniting in their eye sockets!

The horrifying turn of events stunned everyone!

Even the giant axe leader halted in terror, looking fearfully towards the direction of the ancient well.

”The well... the Well Demon! The Well Demon is out!” A villager screamed in despair.

*Thump! Thump! Thump!* The ancient well’s tremors grew faster. More and more dark energy surged from the cracks, spreading outwards like a living thing, devouring all life force!

The bandits’ looting came to a complete halt as they were plunged into immense panic. They seemed to have heard of the terror of this well.

Nangong Xuan’s heart also shook violently. He stared intently at the surging dark energy, sensing from it an extremely ominous ’deathly stillness’ and ’resentment’ that felt even more fundamental and ancient than the soul-eroding miasma!

This well was definitely not a benevolent place!
