Chapter 44
: A Massacre – Who is the Real Murderer of the Demonic Cult?
Nine arrows were fired simultaneously, creating a torrent of arrow light with overwhelming power.
Qin Yi's expression was icy, and the Tianjun Dao Sword suddenly shot up.
The Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Rushing Sword Technique—Wind and Thunder Shake the Heavens!
The wind and thunder roared, the heavens and earth rumbled, and the swift sword light suddenly stirred, shredding all nine arrows that were shot at it!
At that moment, all three of Yun Meng'er's Heavenly Talismans entered Qin Yi's body.
He took a step forward.
In an instant, it shot towards the so-called Four Gentlemen of the Heavenly Pivot.
Among the Four Gentlemen of Tian Shu, Li Hai, the leader, let out a cold shout and formed a hand seal.
Qin Yi, who was rushing toward the four people at high speed, suddenly stopped in mid-air. A mysterious and unpredictable force froze his body.
And this power comes from Li Hai!
On the ground, Qin Yi's shadow was entangled by a shadowy chain.
This shadowy chain is the magic of Li Hai's Shadow Spirit Body.
The shadow chains entangled Qin Yi's shadow, restricting his movements.
"boom!"
A deafening roar resounded, and the burly, strong-bodied fellow with superhuman strength among the Four Gentlemen of Tian Shu leaped up and charged towards Qin Yi.
He raised his right arm, his hand clenched into a fist.
As he threw the punch, his sleeve ripped open, and his entire arm transformed into a massive pillar, slamming down on Qin Yi.
Moreover, his fists were covered with gauntlets, which gleamed with a cold, eerie light.
Qin Yi snorted coldly, his internal power surged wildly, and golden light burst forth, directly breaking the shadow chains that were binding his shadow.
With a swift thrust, the sharp blade aimed directly at the massive fist that was hurtling towards them.
"Ding!"
Qin Yi's sword struck the surface of his opponent's gauntlet.
The next moment, the gauntlet exploded into pieces.
Also shattered into pieces were that enormous fist and that thick arm!
"what!"
A piercing scream rang out, and the man, who possessed superhuman strength, was sent flying backward.
Qin Yi continued charging forward, and with a single slash of his sword, he severed a head!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
A dense barrage of arrows shot out, each arrow conjuring up countless shadows, attempting to block Qin Yi.
The shadows of the arrows falling to the ground were controlled by Li Hai's shadow spirit body. These arrows shooting through the air seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, evolving into complex arrow formation attacks.
Qin Yi let out a disdainful sneer.
Immediately, the Thunderfire Blazing Sky technique from the Wind, Fire and Thunder Swordplay was unleashed.
The lightning and fire were incredibly fierce, destroying all the arrows around Qin Yi.
Qin Yi's speed exploded to its limit once again. Before Li Hai and the others could use any other methods, Qin Yi had already reached them.
A single sword strike!
The man wielding the bow and arrow tried to block, but ended up being torn in two, bow and man alike, exploding apart!
Li Hai, his face filled with terror, turned and fled. As he ran, a large number of shadows spread from his feet and wrapped around Qin Yi's shadow.
However, Qin Yi received Yun Meng'er's blessing and amplification at this time. His already powerful strength became even more domineering, and Li Hai's shadow chains could no longer restrict Qin Yi's movements.
All the shadow chains that touched Qin Yi's shadow snapped instantly.
Qin Yi caught up with Li Hai and pierced Li Hai's head with a single sword strike.
The Four Gentlemen of Tian Shu, four specially recruited geniuses, three of them died in the blink of an eye.
Only one skilled beast tamer remained. His own beasts had long since been killed by Qin Yi. He scrambled to Qin Yi's feet and knelt on the ground, pleading, "Qin Yi... I..."
"Whoosh!"
Qin Yi pulled out the sword that had pierced Li Hai's head, and with a casual swing, the blade severed the head of the kneeling man begging for mercy!
Either don't kill them, or kill them all!
The bodies of these four people, like those of the people who had died before, quickly became shriveled up, as if they had been weathered for many years.
Qin Yi looked at Yun Meng'er and Wang Chong and said, "You two, leave here first. I'll come find you after I've dealt with the underground palace!"
"Brother Qin, I'll go with you!" Yun Meng'er was worried about Qin Yi's safety and wanted to accompany him for protection.
Qin Yi said, "Meng'er, your three Heavenly Talismans are still inside me, so even though you're not by my side, it's as if you're fighting alongside me."
Wang Chong nodded to Qin Yi, his expression grave, and said, "Senior Sister Yun, only if we ensure our own safety can Senior Brother Qin focus on dealing with the Blood Demon Sect warriors without distraction!"
Yun Meng'er understood this. She took a deep breath and said, "Brother Qin, please be careful. I'll wait for you to leave the Blood Mist Swamp and return to Tianxuan Palace together!"
Qin Yi hummed in agreement and said, "Don't worry, the Blood Demon Cult members are nothing but cowardly rats hiding their heads and tails. I will soon massacre this underground palace and then come to join you."
"Senior Sister Yun, let's go!" Wang Chong said.
Yun Meng'er kept turning back to look at Qin Yi.
Only after seeing Yun Meng'er and Wang Chong leave the area did Qin Yi turn around and rush towards the passage leading to the underground palace.
And this moment.
Deep within the underground palace.
A huge pool of blood, bubbling with countless blood bubbles.
In the middle of the blood pool, there is a blood-red lotus platform.
A bewitching young woman dressed in a blood-red dress sat cross-legged on a blood-red lotus platform.
"Holy Maiden, our people are almost all dead. The group of trainees from Tianxing Martial Academy will probably find us soon. Please, Holy Maiden, for the sake of our sect's restoration, move here immediately!" A middle-aged man from the Blood Demon Sect knelt beside the blood pool.
The Blood Demon Cult's Holy Maiden slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were also blood-red, like two seas of blood, exuding an eerie aura.
"They've found him, but there's only one person. He's quite strong and very bold, and he's trying to break the seal to enter the underground palace."
"Take some men and kill him."
"I can't leave yet. My Blood Sea Scripture is nearing completion. If I leave now, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?"
As they spoke, streaks of blood emerged from the blood pool.
All the blood threads burrowed into the body of the Blood Demon Cult's Holy Maiden.
The power emanating from the Blood Demon Cult's Holy Maiden increased at an astonishing rate.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground immediately said, "Holy Maiden, I'll go and kill that brat right now!"
…………
"This layer of blood barrier is really quite sturdy!" Qin Yi stood in front of that layer of blood barrier once again.
Even with the blessing of Yun Meng'er's three Heavenly Talismans, he still couldn't cleave through it with his sword.
Of course, he was just giving it a try.
Since we can't split it open, we'll just devour it!
Qin Yi activated the Primordial Demonic Art, unleashing the Demon Devouring the World technique, and placed one hand on the surface of the blood curtain.
In an instant, the blood-red light surging within the blood curtain rushed wildly toward Qin Yi's palm and then entered the sea of blood beneath Qin Yi's demonic statue.
The vital energy contained within this layer of formation power became thinner and thinner at an extremely rapid pace.
In just a few breaths, the blood curtain transformed into a normal array of light.
Qin Yi snorted coldly and slashed out with his sword again. This time, he easily cleaved the array's light barrier in two.
He flashed and rushed into the tunnel.
"die!"
A furious shout.
A powerful force poured out from the tunnel in front of Qin Yi.
Qin Yi swung the Tianjun Sword in his hand instantly, and a burst of sword light blocked in front of him.
"boom!"
The sword light shattered, and Qin Yi's body was thrown backward in the tunnel.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man, leading a group of Blood Demon Cult warriors, appeared in Qin Yi's line of sight.
The middle-aged man exuded a powerful aura, indicating he was a martial artist at the first level of the Cave Heaven Realm!
The power that forced Qin Yi back just now was emitted by this person.
"You little brat, how dare you barge in here? I think you've got a death wish!" the middle-aged man roared, charging at Qin Yi once more. He held a long sword with a blood groove in its blade, the surface of which was covered with a massive blade aura.
At this moment, a thick blood-red light suddenly appeared in Qin Yi's eyes!
Secret technique!
Blood-soaked pagoda!
In an instant, the boiling sea of blood beneath the golem burst into flames, and the surging power rushed into Qin Yi's limbs and bones.
With the Blood Sea Pagoda Secret Technique activated and Yun Meng'er's three Heavenly Talismans providing additional support, Qin Yi's power surged!
"die!"
With a single sword strike!
The massive crimson blade of light that was slashing towards Qin Yi shattered instantly.
The middle-aged man from the Blood Demon Sect, who possessed the cultivation level of the first stage of the Cave Heaven Realm, had half of his body shattered by Qin Yi's sword.
The remaining half of his body crashed heavily onto the floor of the passageway.
Qin Yi rushed over and stomped on his head!
"Even if I'm tired of living, you'll have to have the ability to take my life first!" With that, she stomped on the middle-aged man's head and crushed it.
The Blood Demon Cult warriors who rushed out with the middle-aged man huddled together, trembling with fear as they looked at Qin Yi, whose eyes were now bloodshot and whose body was shrouded in a fierce and terrifying aura.
Why do I feel like... a weak little lamb, while this genius from Tianxing Martial Academy seems more like a great demon?
Who exactly is the culprit of this evil cult?
