Golden Fire Qilin!!
BOOM!!
The skull coalescing from Ghost Fire lunged forward, the Sound Pillar shot out from the rattle, and the Sword Light slashed from the Black Wood Sword. All of them collided with the Golden Fire Qilin that had suddenly materialized and surged forth.
A shattering blast!!
The Yin Qi turned to thick black smoke under the scorching heat of the blazing Golden Fire. This smoke was then violently blown away by the explosion of Primordial Qi. The gloomy night sky over the Ghost City seemed to be set ablaze by the Golden Fire, its bursting golden radiance even overpowering the crimson moonlight.
TSSSSS!!
The bodies of the two Evil Spirits were caught in the deflagrating Golden Fire, and horrific burn marks appeared all over them.
In a single clash, not only was their joint attack shattered, but they themselves also suffered terrifying damage.
WHOOSH!!
AAAAHHH!!
The Nether Fire within the Bone Demon’s body flickered. The three faces of the Three-Headed Child simultaneously twisted into pained, hideous expressions as it let out a sharp, miserable scream.
However, before they could even adjust, a figure wreathed in Golden Fire—like a terrifying Holy Beast—appeared before them.
They could see it clearly: those eyes held an Overbearing Fury and savagery that threatened to drown everything.
At that moment, possessing a degree of intelligence, they couldn’t stop the terror rising within them.
BAM!!
The figure clenched its fists, which swelled as they engorged with blood and Golden Fire. Though they were only flesh and bone, their threat surpassed any Divine Weapon.
Golden Fire Vermilion Bird, Warhammers Rampant!!
In just a few short moves, they felt as if they had already stepped one foot into an endless abyss!
Meanwhile, the others had witnessed the entire scene. From Zhao Xuanqi’s breakthrough charge, to the two Evil Spirits’ joint attack, to the sudden eruption of the Golden Fire Qilin—it had all happened in the span of five or six breaths. That invincible posture, breaking through all obstacles, was deeply seared into everyone’s minds.
"Kill!!"
Lu Dong of the Red Heart Sect stared intently at the figure. The scene of Zhao Xuanqi’s eruption replayed endlessly in his mind, instantly setting his blood on fire.
’The Red Heart Sect and the Spirit Official Dao... this is how we should be!
Slaying demons, vanquishing evil, breaking through everything.
Mere Evil Spirits... what is there to fear?!’
POOM!!
Crimson Fire erupted from his body as his figure shot forward, meeting the oncoming tide of Evil Spirits.
"Hahaha!! Excellent, excellent!! How exhilarating! How could I, Ren Fei, fall behind?! Watch my technique!!"
Ren Fei laughed heartily, then tapped a series of acupoints on his body with his fingers. Jade-colored light surged around him. He took a sudden step forward, his fingers forming a sword.
The next moment, the jade light around him abruptly receded, dimming as it was compressed inch by inch onto his sword-like hand.
In an instant, almost half of the Primordial Qi in his body was squeezed out. The jade light made his hand so translucent it looked almost like real Jade.
The next moment, he swung his arm violently. The jade light concentrated in his hand shot out from his two fingers, coalescing into a long, narrow beam of Sword Qi.
"Sword Essence!!"
"Slash!!"
Ren Fei roared, and the long, narrow, almost-solid beam of jade Sword Qi vanished with his slash.
SWOOSH!!
The Sword Light swept out, forming a fan-shaped area over ten meters wide. All the Evil Spirits charging forward froze in place.
Ren Fei didn’t stop, flashing past them in an instant. The Evil Spirits remained motionless, making no move, watching blankly as his figure rushed between them, heading straight for the tall Blood Zombie and the female ghost holding an umbrella hidden in the rear.
Just then.
BZZZT!!
A neat, jade-colored line appeared on each of the Evil Spirits frozen in place. Then, jade light burst forth, and their bodies instantly split apart, collapsing into a heap of severed limbs.
"Burning through Primordial Qi like that, how many lives do you have to waste? Let me handle this!!"
At that moment, Chi Li had already merged with the form of the Red General, but that wasn’t all. He tapped several points on his body, then violently spat out a mouthful of blood. The bloody mist congealed without dispersing, guided by his Primordial Qi into a three-meter-long trident, which the Red General form held in its hand.
Demon-Breaking Blade!!
Then, his figure also shot out, charging into the fray.
Not to be outdone, He Xijun, Pu Xiangrong, Zhuang Li, and the others all unleashed their trump cards, fighting for their lives against the Evil Spirits.
The other disciples, too, shook off their earlier fear. A murderous glint appeared in their eyes as they charged into the battle lines.
The shock from Zhao Xuanqi’s initial outburst had instantly ignited everyone’s morale.
「Meanwhile.」
In the middle of the battlefield, Zhao Xuanqi manifested the Golden Fire Vermilion Ape Form. As he swung his twin hammers, after just a few short moves, the injuries on the two Evil Spirits’ bodies grew more and more severe.
The first to buckle was the tall Bone Demon. Its body trembled, its bones scorched by the Golden Fire and covered in cracks, looking as if they might shatter at any moment.
At this point, it once again used its ultimate life-saving technique.
Disassemble!!
The bones of its body scattered, exploding outward. Its core Nether Fire, now bodiless, shot backward at a terrifying speed in an attempt to put distance between itself and Zhao Xuanqi.
However, under the effects of his Double Secret Technique, how could Zhao Xuanqi possibly let it escape so easily?
Or rather, he had been waiting for this very opportunity.
BOOM!!
He took a single step, his body shooting forward like an arrow. His massive frame moved with terrifying agility, and he actually predicted the Nether Fire’s trajectory as it retreated, intercepting it in an instant.
The Nether Fire trembled, seemingly in fear, seemingly struggling, but in the face of absolute power and speed, it was all futile.
He swung a palm, and the Golden Fire deflagrated.
BOOM!!
The ball of Nether Fire suddenly exploded, trying to counter the Golden Fire. But before its eruption could even take shape, Zhao Xuanqi’s attack had already enveloped it.
