The frantic charge of the Demon Clan lasted only a dozen miles before the sky suddenly rolled with dark clouds, thunder roared, and strong winds rose.

The leading Demon Kings all looked up at the sky, a sense of alert rising in their hearts.

As they stopped, the other demons also came to a halt, looking up at the sky.

Boom, boom, boom, a series of muffled sounds.

A streak of fire appeared in the sky, descending upon the gathering demonic beasts below.

The fire drew nearer and transformed into a massive handprint, a hundred meters wide, like a gigantic volcano pressing down from above.

The Demon Kings’ fur stood on end in terror, and they howled at the beasts on the ground, "Scatter!"

The demonic beasts knew well the danger and scattered in all directions from the handprint, like a torrent dispersing.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion shook heaven and earth, suddenly rising from the ground.

The handprint fell and exploded on the ground with a roar.

An immense cloud of dust, hundreds of meters high, surged into the sky, spreading a rolling shockwave in all directions.

Although the demonic beasts avoided the handprint, they were pursued by the enormous shockwave.

The beasts all around immediately spat blood, swept up and exploded into a blood mist, scattering across the sky.

This shockwave pursued the demonic beasts for over ten thousand meters.

It swept across all directions, and beneath the shockwave, no beast survived; all turned into a blood mist.

In an instant, thirty thousand of the hundred thousand demonic beasts lay dead or wounded.

The entire field seemed dyed red, looking like a peculiar landscape painting from the sky.

The Demon Kings knew a powerful presence was there, their fur bristled.

A man and a woman soon descended from the sky side by side, appearing before them.

The demonic beasts simultaneously bared their fangs, glaring fiercely at the two.

Princess Taihua followed closely behind, startled by the previous momentum.

She did not step forward but hid behind to watch the spectacle.

At this moment, a booming cry suddenly came from the rear of the demonic beasts, "Who dares slaughter my Demon Clan?"

The Demon Kings rejoiced and shouted, "The Demon Emperor is here!"

A tiger-shaped demonic beast soared from the void, with two wings sprouting from its back.

Upon closer inspection, its fur stood rigid like steel blades, its tail seemed like a black sickle, and its head bore two bullhorns, with hair long and steely falling behind.

It did not resemble flesh and blood but rather seemed forged from steel.

Upon its arrival, all the Demon Clan bowed down.

It stood on two legs like a human, muscles straining its fur, nearly two meters tall, staring fixedly at Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya.

"Another tiger demon?"

Wang Xiaoya found it odd.

Earlier, she and Long Fei had slew a tiger-shaped Demon Emperor in Jiangyang State, and now another appeared.

Moreover, this one had wings on its back, quite bizarre.

Upon hearing Wang Xiaoya, the Demon Emperor’s voice rasped as he barked, "Human child, I am no tiger demon!"

Wang Xiaoya chuckled, "Then what are you?"

"I am Qiongqi!"

The Demon Emperor roared deeply, lifting his head as though honoring his lineage.

"Qiongqi? The poor and strange Qiongqi?"

Wang Xiaoya hadn’t heard of these demons, guessing randomly.

A fire blazed in Qiongqi’s eyes, nearly coughing up blood as he cursed, "What poor and strange! I possess ancient Divine Beast bloodline, you speak nonsense!"

Long Fei laughed lightly, "If not a Divine Beast, perhaps a fierce beast?"

"That’s your Human Race’s term!"

Qiongqi glanced at Long Fei, mumbling, "Among the Demon Clan, the Qiongqi bloodline is famously prestigious."

With narcissism, he flicked his long hair, raised claws sharp as blades, and asked, "Why did you slaughter my Demon Clan?"

Long Fei furrowed his brow; rumor had it that Qiongqi enjoyed reasoning with people.

Wang Xiaoya intended to say that it was your Demon Clan’s wickedness against the Human Race but was stopped by Long Fei.

Long Fei informed Qiongqi, "It’s survival of the fittest, the weak are prey for the strong. Your Demon Army was so pathetic, yet dared to embarass itself. I couldn’t help but slaughter them to relieve my boredom."

Wang Xiaoya glanced at Long Fei, thinking, though we have reason, why say something unreasonable?

But Qiongqi listened with fiery eyes, pondering Long Fei’s words, "What you say seems reasonable, these beasts have diluted bloodlines, truly unworthy!"

A crowd of Demon Kings nearly wept, kneeling and wailing, "Qiongqi Demon Emperor, do not believe these lies! He slaughtered thirty-four thousand of our brothers; you mustn’t let him off!"

"I don’t need you interrupting when I speak!"

Qiongqi bellowed at the Demon Kings, swallowing the Single-Horned Wolf King in one gulp.

The Demon Clan on the ground felt a chill, all bowing their heads, unable to utter a sound.

Princess Taihua in the rear couldn’t hold back, bursting into laughter.

Qiongqi cursed, "Who’s laughing back there?"

With claws raised, it grasped at the sky, sword rain enveloping where the sound came.

A golden blaze erupted from that place but couldn’t burn the sword rain apart.

A frightened cry came from within, "Help!"

"This troublemaker!"

Long Fei raised his hand in a grasp, Void Seal appearing, revealing a black five-fingered handprint, grabbing the sword rain with a rumble.

Princess Taihua escaped, flashing to his side.

The sword rain clashed against the black five-fingered handprint, fiercely trembling in midair for a moment, then shattered with a bang.

Qiongqi’s claws trembled, revealing surprise as he fixed his gaze on Long Fei, amazed that a Human could withstand his sword’s edge.

This Void Sword Rain was nothing else but born from his fur.

The fur was forged by his bloodline, hard as Divine Iron, resisting most mana.

Princess Taihua turned pale with fright, shouting at Qiongqi, "You wretched beast, daring to lay hands on a princess. Once my mother hears of this, you’ll be skinned alive!"

Qiongqi snorted, "Oh, a Human princess. Your tender skin will be delicious. I’ll savor you, then go to your Capital City and eat your mother too!"

It laughed arrogantly, ordering other Demon Kings, "Go hunt, leave these three to us!"

"Yes, Demon Emperor!"

A flock of Demon Kings cried excitedly, thinking the Demon Emperor finally acted normally.

Before they took off, Long Fei shouted, "It’s not that easy!"

He extended his hand, releasing the Five Divine Beasts’ Dharma Laksana, transforming into monstrous entities, flying skyward, surging toward the demon beast herd.

Qiongqi exclaimed, "Oh my, you’ve devoured many Divine Beast bloodlines, Human!"

His eyes glowed as he shrieked, "If I devour you, won’t I at once return to my ancestors!"

His fur rose, trembling like sword rain, buzzing as it fired again.

This time, Sword Qi came like a storm, darkening the sky, engulfing Long Fei, Wang Xiaoya, and Princess Taihua from all directions.

Princess Taihua had witnessed the sword rain’s might, panicked, clutching Long Fei tightly, shrieking, "Oh no, oh no, this princess hasn’t wed yet and now faces doom!"
