"Slash!"

As Tie Bing reacted, ready to let his subordinates swarm, unexpectedly, Qin Tian had already made the first move!

Under the urging of Qin Tian's Red Sword, the Spiritual Sword Three Forms erupted into countless sword lights, tinting half the sky blood-red!

Among the countless sword lights, Qin Tian delivered a shocking slash, leaving it to Tie Bing!

The red sword light, like a Fire Dragon, roared down. As Tie Bing snapped back to reality, his face instantly turned pale as ice!

"Heaven Breaking Technique!"

In his urgency, Tie Bing concentrated his breath, preparing to dodge while launching a silver True Qi towards the Red Sword's light!

He wanted to block Qin Tian's sword.

Unfortunately, he overestimated himself!

Qin Tian's Red Sword was a peerless Divine Weapon, coupled with the immense destructive power of the Spiritual Sword Three Forms. When their True Qi and sword light clashed for a moment, Tie Bing's Heaven Breaking Technique was instantly shattered!

Fortunately, Tie Bing had anticipated not being able to withstand Qin Tian. As Qin Tian's sword slashed down fiercely, Tie Bing had already leapt away.

He dodged, but his mount, the Flying Beast, wasn't so lucky.

Qin Tian's fierce slash, despite the Divine Beast's evasive reaction, was too swift, directly slicing it in half!

"Hei Wa!"

Seeing his Divine Beast killed, Tie Bing was heartbroken and cried out.

"Your turn!"

Qin Tian, filled with murderous intent, launched another attack towards Tie Bing!

Simultaneously, Tie Bing's subordinates surged forward, hoping to use their collective True Qi power to block Qin Tian.

Buzz!

Qin Tian's True Qi collided with the combined True Qi of over a hundred enemies!

True Qi light waves spread, instantly snapping the trees on the ground into pieces!

Within seconds, the combined force of over a hundred people was deadlocked with Qin Tian!

At the same time, other enemies, seeing an opportunity, shot streams of True Qi straight at Qin Tian!

"Get out of my way!"

At this moment, Qin Tian's face turned red, and he suddenly shouted, like a Demon God descending, his roar sending chills down everyone's spine! The ground trembled!

The Red Sword's sword light exploded from Qin Tian, scattering the hundred-plus enemies instantly!

Meanwhile, emerging from the black mist behind Qin Tian, Zhao Lanjin and Duan Xiaodao rushed towards Qin Tian!

"Boss, we're here!"

"Kill!"

Zhao Lanjin and Duan Xiaodao continuously struck, their True Qi sword lights mixing, delivering a massive impact to the nearby Demon Clan soldiers.

Initially, seeing Qin Tian breaking through the hundred men, Tie Bing already felt a chill in his heart.

Now, seeing Qin Tian's reinforcements arriving, Tie Bing was in despair!

Taking advantage of his subordinates still holding Qin Tian off, he quietly slipped away.

Yet, as he turned to leave, Qin Tian followed right behind!

"General Tie, you can't escape!"

Qin Tian's Fiery Flame Divine Skill blasted towards the back of Tie Bing's head!

Tie Bing, in a panic, had no choice but to brace and withstand Qin Tian's attack!

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Tie Bing's sleeves fluttered, as gusts of demonic wind and waves of purple mist clashed against Qin Tian's Flame True Qi!

Bam!

With just one clash, Tie Bing's purple mist was instantly suppressed!

Clang!

His whole body was slammed to the ground by Qin Tian, spitting blood!

Qin Tian landed, stood over Tie Bing, looking down at him condescendingly.

Tie Bing glared at Qin Tian, his eyes lifeless, utterly defeated.

At this time, more and more Qin Family soldiers broke through the black mist, leaving the Demon Clan army in utter despair.

"Clean up the battlefield, retreat!"

Qin Tian ordered in a low voice. This advance in the great battle against the Demon Clan was a huge success.

The Demon Clan's original force of a hundred thousand, preparing to invade West State, was utterly routed at the onset, leaving only over twenty thousand retreating to Black Cloud City.

Even their leader, Tie Bing, was heavily injured and captured by Qin Tian!

This caused a massive shock across the Demon Clan Court!

"What happened? This time, a hundred thousand troops advanced, and within half a month, reduced to this state!?"

Inside the Demon Capital, in the Royal Palace, Yin Yue Demon Venerate was furious, glaring angrily at the ministers standing below.

The ministers all kept their heads down, not daring to utter a word.

"There must be spies from West State in the Demon Capital! Investigate thoroughly! Better to kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"

Yin Yue Demon Venerate, a volatile person, calmed down afterward, realizing something was amiss.

"Even if that West State brat got word of our troop movement, he shouldn't have been able to react so swiftly!"

"We just captured Liang City, and within an hour, his forces arrived? No way that's possible!"

"Did he anticipate our troop deployment?"

"Or perhaps that Qin Tian brat had already mustered heavy forces at the West State border in advance?"

"What is his intention? To defend against us? Or to invade?"

Yin Yue Demon Venerate's muttering led the entire hall to gradually begin discussing.

"Your Majesty, I think that Qin Tian was already wary of us."

"Indeed, the Imperial City sent people to liaise with us; surely Qin Tian heard of it, guessing the Imperial City's intentions!"

"Agreed. Qin Tian surely had preemptive plans against us. Don't forget, this Qin Tian is a battle expert!"

The Demon Clan ministers each expressed their views, seemingly finding the reason for their defeat.

"Hahaha, your views are shallow! You know only one side and not the other!"

Suddenly, from the door of the main hall, an old voice sounded. Startled, everyone looked back to see an old man in a black robe, leaning on a cane, walk in.

"State Preceptor!"

"Why are you here, State Preceptor?"

"State Preceptor..."

The old man entered, and the Court Ministers respectfully saluted.

Even Yin Yue Demon Venerate's expression changed slightly, descending from the platform to personally greet him.

"State Preceptor, why are you here?" Yin Yue Demon Venerate said in surprise, "Has there been news from the Elder Council?"

The Elder Council is an extremely mysterious entity within the Demon Clan Royal Family.

Its members are all ancient monsters of the Demon Clan, forebears of the Demon King.

These people live in seclusion, even dismissing the Demon King.

Of course, they possess such status and power.

The State Preceptor is the sole link between the Demon Clan Court and the Elder Council, so even the Demon King must show respect.

Especially the current Yin Yue Demon Venerate, having staged a coup and usurped power, slaughtering wantonly, the Elder Council has yet to acknowledge his position.

Now seeing the State Preceptor appear, his eyes lit up, "State Preceptor, has the Elder Council permitted my visit?"
