Chapter 455 - 455 Kirin Blade White Flame!
“What’s going on?” Tang Ying was baffled. Not even the cultivation of the blood heart technique would grant such speed. Even if he were devouring humans, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate this quickly.
Tang Ying could see, with his own eyes, that he and Qin Huai were racing faster and faster. This only fueled his growing anxiety and intensified his urge to kill. This lack of control and unfamiliar developments made Tang Ying very uncomfortable. However, he still held absolute confidence.
His goal now wasn’t just to kill this demon. He wanted all the secrets Qin Huai might be hiding, along with any potential allies Qin Huai may have conspired with, and even the secrets of the Emperor of Qingzhou. He wanted them all!
The two raced rapidly through the outer city, blurring like phantom figures. An hour later, they had already burst out of the outer city.
Tang Ying could already see the bronze sinkhole with his naked eye, and the surroundings were gradually becoming less populated.
Boom!
Suddenly, Tang Ying’s gray wings unfurled, and his speed soared, faster than when he was in the inner city. “Little brat, if you have any more tricks, use them now!” he taunted Qin Huai.
Qin Huai remained stoic. He had already sensed that Tang Ying had plenty of energy left and intended to eradicate his ‘alliance.’ Yet, Tang Ying’s arrogance could be his downfall.
Just as Qin Huai, who was only a short distance away from the bronze sinkhole, was about to rush in, he slowed down. In the distance, two figures blazed across the sky like meteors. The roaring flames were dazzling.
Both Qin Huai and Tang Ying turned to face the extraordinary aura. Qin Huai looked puzzled, but Tang Ying sneered, “Just as I thought, you have allies!”
It wasn’t until the two figures entered his field of vision that Qin Huai recognized them as Hua Yanli from the Thunderbolt Gang and Yun Qi from the White Cloud sect.
“Zhou Cunzhong!” Hua Yanli’s body was wrapped in rising flames, distorting the air around him. The fiery pillar ascended over ten meters, seeming almost solid.
Next to him, Yun Qi sat on a Kirin phantom, his body enveloped in an ethereal aura, appearing like a banished immortal reincarnated.
As a ten-meter-long pillar of fire came crashing down, Qin Huai countered with an illusion realm fist. In an instant, Tang Ying was frozen in shock. But when his eyes regained clarity, it was too late. The flames immediately consumed the ground beneath him, swallowing him whole as if opening a bloody mouth.
The next moment, the ten-meter-long pillar of fire retracted, transforming into a fireball revolving around Tang Ying. The raging storm spread endless wisps of flames in all directions.
Yun Qi, at the side, pushed his arms forward, and the Kirin he was riding rushed into the fireball, causing it to seem to condense in mid-air. Immediately after, the scarlet flames abruptly turned white. The ground cracked instantaneously, and a surge of blazing fire and wind shot skyward.
Boom!
The surrounding land within dozens of meters was upheaved, and dust rose as if in the face of a natural disaster. This was their joint attack skill, the Kirin blade white flame!
“You two have actually mastered a joint attack,” Qin Huai observed Hua Yanli and Yun Qi, feeling a pang of unease.
As future top-tier fighters, the duo held the power to take down experts in the visceral prefecture realm. Even seasoned warriors with higher rankings in this realm wouldn’t escape unscathed from their combined assault. The power of these young prodigies was not to be underestimated.
“Hmph! This move was originally intended for you, but plans change,” Hua Yanli responded, his face slightly pale. This attack had depleted half of his power.
As for Yun Qi, he didn’t seem to be faring much better.
“Acting this recklessly is too dangerous,” Qin Huai admonished, disapproving of their hasty actions.
“We had no choice. I fear something has occurred among the prodigies of the inner city,” Hua Yanli explained.
He and Yun Qi shared solemn expressions, revealing to Qin Huai that many people were confined within their sects, and the others, fresh out of the bronze realm, had been sent into forbidden areas. They feared the situation was even graver than they’d initially thought.
Their desire for revenge against Qin Huai’s repeated humiliations and killings in the bronze realm had now been overshadowed by a threat that could compromise the safety of all Qingzhou.
“The influence of those strange demons has likely spread throughout Qingzhou,” Hua Yanli asserted. They believed the other prodigies had also recognized this threat, which was why they’d been sent to the forbidden areas.
They had witnessed the incident with Tang Xinglong and understood the gravity of the situation. “We’re uncertain whether our sect masters are allies or enemies,” Hua Yanli continued, “and how many spies have infiltrated the higher ranks of our sects?”
The more they discussed, the more they sensed the impending danger. “That’s why we followed you when we saw you being chased. We hoped to extract some truth from Second Master Tang,” Hua Yanli added.
Hearing this, Qin Huai became grave. He acknowledged that if they wished to emerge from this situation, they had to start with the Tang family.
He hoped to eliminate Second Master Tang without using the power of the emperor. If Tang Ying were taken out of the picture, it would be much easier to provoke the other power figures.
Suddenly, the earth trembled, drawing their attention. “You little brats are indeed sharp… but what does it matter?” A pair of gray wings flapped vigorously, instantly dissipating half of the white flames.
Tang Ying emerged, completely naked and covered in burn marks. His dead and charred skin began visibly sloughing off, revealing a healing process beneath.
“Hahaha… I won’t hide anymore. We are descendants of Kun Peng! Eighth Prince!” Tang Ying declared, laughing uproariously. His eyes held nothing but contempt for the three before him. “All of you will die!”
In the blink of an eye, Tang Ying closed the distance between them, radiating intense killing intent. “No matter how talented you are, one’s realm is everything in this world! As long as my realm is superior, you’ll never bridge the gap.”
“Yeah, I think so too,” a lazy voice replied.
