Blood Sacrifice! Extermination!

"Regrettably, they were too hasty and proposed too many absurd strategies, leading the dynasty they ruled to fall short!"

Tang Pi's attacks grew increasingly reckless. With each swipe of his claws, a spray of blood filled the air. Although Qin Huai's recovery was astoundingly swift, Tang Pi was starting to see a glimmer of victory. Over a hundred moves had been traded in a flash.

Boom!

Tang Pi's gaze shifted toward the distant sky. The golden rain had notably decelerated, both in volume and speed. Several clansmen had already reached safe ground while others from the visceral prefecture realm surrounded the battlefield, waiting for a chance to attack.

"It appears the tables have turned." Tang Pi smirked at Qin Huai, who was still full of stamina. "Your blood heart technique's healing power is impressive. With the blood sea as your reserve, perhaps your recovery prowess surpasses even the white-robed king's. But what if your bones are crushed? Can you still recover?"

Tang Pi maintained his pressure on Qin Huai through a combination of verbal jabs and physical assaults, aiming to locate a lethal weakness.

"My lord, I'm here to support you!" came a voice from the distance.

In the sky, Gao He's wings beat rapidly as he hurtled toward Qin Huai. Simultaneously, over a dozen experts from the visceral prefecture realm, the Kun Peng clan's last remaining top-tier warriors, prepared to join the fray. action

Boom!

Suddenly, they accelerated mid-flight, disappearing in a loud boom, only to reappear beside Qin Huai moments later. Just as Qin Huai extended a hand to seize the wings, they reappeared behind him, sharp as peerless blades.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blood splattered in the direction where the two demons had vanished.

The pair of wings materialized and vanished beside Qin Huai at an incredible speed, with flawless coordination. More importantly, they bore the formidable power of Tang Pi's atavism.

"Swear a blood oath to the heavens, vowing eternal loyalty to me, and I'll spare your life," Tang Pi proposed, his eyes greedy. Killing a prodigy like Qin Huai seemed wasteful when he could be a powerful weapon against the white-robed king.

"You must have suffered a lot recently." Qin Huai's voice carried a trace of sympathy. "From the start of the war, you've been cornered by the white-robed king, haven't you? You seem to have lost your rationality."

"Are you implying you don't wish to live?" Tang Pi's eyes clouded with misfortune. The past two years had been the darkest period of his life, constantly under fire from the white-robed king and Qin Huai.

"You still don't believe me." Qin Huai's body suddenly froze, his hands reaching out to the side.

Crack!

With a loud sound, sparks flew as he gripped a Kun Peng wing. A pair of Kun Peng wings materialized on Qin Huai's right hand, crashing into his empty hand. The formidable power held the two demons' space-rending slash in check, disrupting their previously seamless combination.

Bang!

Two beams of golden light shot out from beneath Qin Huai's feet, catching the two demons off guard. The golden light pierced through their foreheads. With disbelief etched on their faces, the two demons' bodies fell limply to the ground as Qin Huai released his hold.

"What!!!" Tang Pi's pupils constricted as Qin Huai lifted a finger.

The brilliant golden light replaced the blood sea beneath them, turning the demons' faces golden. Underneath the clouds, beams of golden light shot skyward, shattering the clouds and piercing the bodies of the overconfident Kun Peng demons.

The golden rain that filled the sky simultaneously shot out, catching even the visceral prefecture realm experts unprepared.

"Vajra rain, reverse!" With a flap of his wings, Qin Huai appeared in the clouds, his fist descending like a mountain.

Bang!

A demon, who had just entered the visceral prefecture realm, was obliterated by Qin Huai's punch! The continuous, shocking scenes nearly made Tang Pi's eyes pop out of their sockets.

"Qin Huai!" Tang Pi roared in frustration. He was already upon Qin Huai, his claws, sharp as blades, lunged for Qin Huai's heart.

Thrust!

Sparks erupted. Qin Huai's fist met the sharp claws, and a faint sound of breaking echoed. Tang Pi's claws, which had always struck true, were shattered by Qin Huai's punch.

"How is that possible…The physical body enhanced by the power of atavism... Only the other demons of the eight royal clans should match him." Tang Pi's eyes were slightly unfocused.

"I just wanted to kill more of your clansmen and intentionally expose a weakness. After all, if these beings fled to the ten counties, it would be very troublesome to deal with them," Qin Huai explained, his voice icy. "I didn't expect much from this move, but to my surprise, you fell for it."

Despite Tang Pi being aware of his background and cultivation technique, he couldn't detect a trap of this level. That was the reason why Qin Huai had said that. The Kun Peng clan's sect master had let defeat and hatred cloud his judgment.

"I can't believe it! I can't believe I'll lose!" Tang Pi's eyes were bloodshot, his sanity slipping. "Even if your invincible Vajra blood can kill half of them, I still have two to three thousand clansmen! Even if I have to pile them up, I'll make sure you meet your end!" Tang Pi spat through gritted teeth.

"What about now?" Qin Huai asked.

Tang Pi was stunned. There were no clansmen around him. Even the blood sea beneath him had vanished.

"What happened?" A chilling realization dawned on him.

Bang! Suddenly, he flapped her wings. His wings were sliced off from behind. At the same time, he thrust his claws again, aiming for Qin Huai, who was within reach.

Bang!

Tang Pi's claw pierced through Qin Huai's heart. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his wings had also cut through Qin Huai's body with a single slash!

It was an illusion! A moment of dread swept over Tang Pi. He shielded his flank with his right wing instantly. The next moment, a terrifying impact sent him flying. His severed wings quivered, and blood sprayed into the air.

Their roles had reversed in a disturbing turn of events. What a terrifying strength!

Tang Pi had no time to absorb the shock, though. He lifted his gaze and found dozens of Qin Huai's charging at him from all directions.

"Ten thousand miles slash!" Enraged, Tang Pi roared, flapping his wings, and ascended the heavens. His aura was intimidating, shaking the sky.

Bang!

Tang Pi crashed into a barrier, blood oozing from his head. "A guardian spirit item…" Tang Pi's voice trembled involuntarily.

"Ah, one could say it's a relic left by the Emperor of Qingzhou." Qin Huai's voice echoed, emanating from over ten locations around him.

Tang Pi glanced at the Qin Huais encircling him, a bitter smile gracing his lips.

"Are you mocking me?" He finally recognized the difference in their strengths. Qin Huai had never pondered how to kill him, but when to do so.

"Give me some valuable information. Perhaps I'll let your clansmen go and allow your Kun Peng clan to maintain its lineage." Qin Huai's expression was frosty.

"Hahaha... Given what I know of you, you'll definitely kill them all, won't you?" At that moment, Tang Pi had a moment of clarity. "You want information from me? No way!" A fierce determination flashed in his eyes. His pupils contracted sharply, locking onto Qin Huai, who had a subtle change in expression.

"Ten thousand miles slash!" With the last of his strength, Tang Pi attacked. Even his originally gray wings were abruptly stained red with blood.

"Forbidden technique, blood sacrifice atavism!" At that moment, the aura of the Tang clan soared to an unprecedented height. He burned his life force to reach the pure-blood realm.

Boom!

A curtain of darkness immediately enshrouded the entire area. Qin Huai, with his white hair and eyes, now appeared like a king descending from the dark abyss, looking down upon him. Their fists collided, but he did not evade.

"Black dragon fist!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In mid-air, they exchanged dozens of blows. Each strike landed true, each punch resulted in spilled blood. But in the end, Tang Pi couldn't alter the outcome. Drained, he fell to the ground, his body covered in blood.

"What a monster…" In his final moment, he found a sliver of peace. Staring at Qin Huai in the sky, his eyes filled with resignation.

Despite having been the prefecture overseer of Qingzhou with a great advantage, he couldn't understand how he ended up in this dire situation. Such a tragic end…
