The power of the Blood-colored Storm is just a lick of the tip.

The most important thing is control.

As long as it’s under control, with their level of strength, no matter how many Defiled Blood Clone Demons and demons come, they can crush them with a flick of the wrist!

"Armor, manifest!!!"

In the thunderous, deafening Blood-colored Storm, no one noticed Fang Yu, in mid-sprint, suddenly let out a low growl.

The next instant...

Swish!!!

With Bone Armor covering him, Fang Yu’s speed skyrocketed!

Pushed by the air currents, enhanced by the Bone Armor... in a flash! Fang Yu charged right up to the first Defiled Blood Clone Demon!

It was his first time moving inside Qi Explosion Heaven Cyclone, using Qi Explosion Heaven Cyclone itself to act. Fang Yu was a bit unaccustomed, but that subtle awkwardness was something no one else could see through.

[Defiled Blood Clone Demon: 13236/31642.]

The first Defiled Blood Clone Demon Fang Yu targeted was precisely the one with the lowest HP!

Qi Explosion Heaven Cyclone had already pushed down its HP bar, but that was still far, far from what Fang Yu could do with his own hands!

Defiled Blood Clone Demon: !!!

Within the Blood-colored Storm, the Defiled Blood Clone Demon that had lost the ability to move and maintain balance couldn’t even dodge. It could only stare in terror, eyes bulging, as Fang Yu’s bone-covered blade of bone slashed toward it!

Slash slash slash slash slash slash!!

A dozen streaks of white light flashed by in the blink of an eye.

This Defiled Blood Clone Demon was instantly chopped into dozens of chunks, its flesh shredded and pulverized by the Qi Blades, its blood merging into the storm.

Buzz!

At the same time, blood light erupted from the bodies of all the Defiled Blood Clone Demons within the storm.

Their bodies, previously locked down tight, now vaguely gained a bit of ability to move within the storm, an ability to contend with the raging air currents.

But... this power was still far from enough!

Meanwhile, inside the storm, the blood color grew even denser.

A heavy stench of blood wafted out from within the storm. The crowd couldn’t see what was happening inside, but the blood light flaring up together was still distinguishable.

"Mr. Diao is slaying demons!"

"One of them... one has already been killed!"

"Mr. Diao! Mr. Diao!"

The crowd cheered excitedly.

Chen Ya, however, wasn’t watching the Blood-colored Storm. She was gripping a sword in the void, grasping again and again at a non-existent sword hilt.

With each attempt, that originally empty-handed sensation inexplicably, faintly took on a trace of actually holding something.

Illusory yet real, condensed yet unformed.

In front of her, Qiu Xiaoping frowned slightly, her gaze locked tightly onto that white streak within the Blood-colored Storm.

That wasn’t a line; that was a person.

"So you finally used it... the power of that strange armor from back then..."

Qiu Xiaoping clenched her fist.

She wanted to see more.

The Bone Armor only gave him the qualification to fight her.

That pitch-black tree from back then... the form when that withered wooden tree erupted! That was the existence that could truly stand on equal footing with her!

Thinking of that suffocatingly terrifying Black Tree, Qiu Xiaoping’s palms, at some unknown point, had started to sweat slightly, her breathing growing a bit disordered.

But these Defiled Blood Clone Demons alone, in the end... still hadn’t forced the fellow inside the storm to that step.

Swish!!!

After blood light flickered seven or eight times within the storm...

A Defiled Blood Clone Demon, shrouded in blood light, actually broke through the restraints of the Blood-colored Storm and burst out of its barrier!

"Roar!!!"

Though its body was covered in wounds, even the white bone of its forehead exposed, once it landed, this Defiled Blood Clone Demon still let out a vicious, thunderous roar, intimidating the crowd that had been trying to close in.

But...

Bam!!

A mass of invisible air pressure suddenly slammed down from nowhere!

Even though this Defiled Blood Clone Demon seemed to sense something and rolled its eyes upward, it was still already too late.

Bang!!

On the spot, the Defiled Blood Clone Demon that had escaped was crushed into blood paste by the abruptly descending wall of air!

Buzz!

Within the Blood-colored Storm, five or six streaks of blood light flared up simultaneously.

In the blood light, three or four Defiled Blood Clone Demons had half their bodies stuck at the edge of the Blood-colored Storm’s barrier. Only their upper halves were exposed, their lower halves still jammed within the storm, struggling desperately to crawl their way out.

"Young Master Diao, do you need help?"

Qiu Xiaoping’s voice drifted out slowly, spreading through the air.

And just then...

Boom!!!

The Blood-colored Storm exploded apart with a thunderous roar!

Qi Explosion Heaven Cyclone completed its final stage!

Swish swish swish swish!

The exploding Qi Explosion Heaven’s Chosen produced a tremendous shockwave, flinging all the Defiled Blood Clone Demons stuck around the edges flying on the spot!

Directly in front of Qiu Xiaoping, one Defiled Blood Clone Demon was practically plummeting straight down toward her.

Qiu Xiaoping was just about to move when her pupils suddenly shrank hard!

Swoosh!!!

A white figure as swift as lightning burst out from the shattered storm almost in an instant, launching later yet arriving first, instantly brushing past the falling Defiled Blood Clone Demon.

Rip!!

Right there, the body of that Defiled Blood Clone Demon was split clean in two and chopped down!

In a flash, blood-light flared on the demons behind.

At the same time, the white figure also flashed past Qiu Xiaoping, who stood where she was.

Boom!!!

With a thunderous bang, sand and dust roiled backward, smoke billowed up, and Fang Yu’s icy voice rang out from behind Qiu Xiaoping.

"Didn’t I say I’d handle this alone?"

Cold sweat.

Seeped from Qiu Xiaoping’s forehead.

What a heavy... killing intent!

Young Master Diao, he’s gone kill-crazy, he’s not even distinguishing friend from foe anymore.

"It was reckless of me..." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The moment Qiu Xiaoping’s apologetic voice sounded, the figure behind her was already like a white dragon, trailing pale afterimages as it flashed past her once more, charging toward the other Defiled Blood Clone Demons that had hit the ground!

"Roar!!!"

Hearing panic and fear in a demon’s roar isn’t easy.

But right now, scattered in different directions, the Defiled Blood Clone Demons that had each picked a way to flee for their lives did indeed mean exactly that.

Run run run!

Scatter and run!

But how could Fang Yu possibly let them go!

Attribute points, they’re all valid attribute points! Not a single one can be missed!!

Buzz!

Buzz...

Buzz!

Buzzz—

Blobs of blood-light flared out one after another.

Every time one lit up, it meant one Defiled Blood Clone Demon had been wiped out.

The distance between each blob of blood-light was huge—some of them could practically be said to be scattered all over the world—but Fang Yu’s pursuit was just too fast! He actually chased them clear out past the Forest Snake Gang’s territory, hacking a demon to death on some random street, then doubling back to chase down another one.

Since he had the blood-light to guide him, he didn’t need to worry about losing his way, so Fang Yu’s killing spree went extremely smoothly.

When Fang Yu came back carrying the head of the last Defiled Blood Clone Demon—

The Forest Snake Gang members in the courtyard were looking at him like he was a Monster; the whole place was dead silent!

"It’s over."

Flinging the Defiled Blood Clone Demon’s head onto the ground, Fang Yu—who had long since shed his Bone Armor, with only a bit of Bone Powder still clinging to his clothes—spoke calmly.

"M-Mr. Diao, thank you for your hard work!!!"

The first to respond was Fa Hongwen.

As the biggest winner in this battle, the one who from here on out would fully take over the Forest Snake Gang, Fa Hongwen was extremely excited, his emotions surging too hard to calm down.

Reclaiming the Forest Snake Gang was one reason. The more important reason was this ’Monster’ before his eyes!

Found a treasure, found a treasure!!

What a terrifyingly strong Mr. Diao! With such a Guest Elder here, the Forest Snake Gang’s rise is just around the corner!

"Young Master Diao, impressive skills."

Qiu Xiaoping had to admit she’d underestimated that Blood-colored Storm a bit.

When the Blood-colored Storm finally detonated and dispersed, the impact it produced could boost the speed of anyone inside it to a frightening level.

Just this function alone was enough to launch a surprise attack that would catch people completely off guard!

In this way, this Blood-colored Storm could indeed play a role in fights between experts of the same level.

But... that’s about all.

The truly powerful one is the person!

"Lord Qiu, you’ve worked hard tonight."

By now Fang Yu had finished slaughtering the demons, his baleful aura completely faded; he was the polar opposite of the icy figure from moments ago.

There was a sense of serenity and calm about him.

"You’re too kind, too kind..."

"Lord Qiu, regarding the matter we mentioned before, I must ask that you arrange it as soon as possible."

Qiu Xiaoping was slightly taken aback.

She’d actually planned to leave that afternoon, but was persuaded by Fa Hongwen to stay and help, which was why things had dragged on till now.

Strictly speaking, she’d only stayed to help for Fang Yu’s sake; otherwise she would’ve left long ago.

Now that Fang Yu had brought it up, she simply said,

"In that case, I’ll go back for now. I’ll visit the Forest Snake Gang again another day."
