The members of the Void Sect couldn’t figure it out. The Wolf Fang Sect could have claimed the entire Spiritual Ore vein by force, so why were they pulling all these stunts?

However, they soon understood.

"My Lord, I wish to fight," Liu Hui suddenly said to Mo Qi via sound transmission, his eyes burning as he stared at Zheng Xiao in his Human-Beast Unity state.

"Oh? Why?" Mo Qi asked with a smile.

"I want to see for myself just how strong the Purity Realm is."

Mo Qi thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He retrieved a purple crystal stone the size of a fingernail from the Chaos Scripture’s space and handed it to Liu Hui.

"Hold this in your mouth and refine it for a moment. Remember, do not swallow it under any circumstances!"

The purple crystal stone was, of course, Spirit Marrow.

When the Chaos Scripture refined the External Incarnation for Mo Qi, it only used the Primordial Energy within the Spirit Marrow; the Spirit Marrow itself was not affected.

In the end, as per their agreement, Mo Qi had cut off half the Spirit Marrow and given it to the Pig Emperor, keeping the other half for his own use.

After swallowing the Spirit Marrow, the Pig Emperor had fallen into a deep sleep, seemingly undergoing some kind of transformation.

Without a word, Liu Hui popped the purple crystal stone into his mouth.

The moment the crystal stone entered his mouth, an incomparably vast energy surged out from it, flowing through Liu Hui’s Eight Extraordinary Meridians and connecting with the Earth Dragon Demon Beast Core in his Dantian.

The Dragon Energy began to boil!

"ROAR!"

A soul-shaking dragon’s roar echoed within Liu Hui’s body as the Earth Dragon Demon Beast Core began to dissolve at a visible rate.

A single, hair-thin strand of Dragon Power was extracted and drilled into Liu Hui’s heart.

In that instant, Liu Hui transformed. Pale golden Dragon Scales covered his entire body, and a pair of small, flesh-colored horns appeared on his forehead.

They were dragon horns!

Liu Hui’s Cultivation skyrocketed, breaking through three successive levels to reach the Refining God Ninth Heaven!

Because the Battle Armor refined by a few old masters in the Secret Realm concealed his aura and the unusual phenomena, the commotion on Liu Hui’s side did not attract anyone’s attention.

"Anyone else want a taste?" Zheng Xiao’s gaze swept wantonly over the Void Sect members, his narrow, green-glowing eyes finally landing on Qi Tian.

"What about you?"

Qi Tian lowered his head and shook it repeatedly.

Never mind that he was heavily injured now; even at his peak, he wouldn’t dare to fight Zheng Xiao.

A Purity Realm expert could slap him to death with a single palm.

"Since you’ve all admitted defeat, this entire Earth-level Spiritual Ore vein now belongs to my Wolf Fang Sect!" Jin Quan said with a laugh.

Ji Lin and the others wanted to say something, but no words would come out.

"Hold on!"

Mo Qi’s voice rang out again.

"What do you mean, ’all admitted defeat’? This brother of mine hasn’t conceded," Mo Qi said, pointing at Liu Hui.

Not only was Jin Quan stunned, but the members of the Void Sect also had no idea what Mo Qi was trying to do.

’Didn’t you just stop him from joining the fight?’

"Nonsense! Mo Qi, do you really think I won’t do anything to you?" Ji Lin was so angry his head was splitting.

’When it was time for Liu Hui to go up, you jumped out to stop him.’

’Now that everyone has conceded, you want Liu Hui to go up again.’

’It’s bad enough being run ragged by the Wolf Fang Sect, but now my own people are giving me hell.’

’What is this mess?’

"Mo Qi, you might not understand the difference between the Purity Realm and the Refining God Realm. Let me put it this way: a Purity Realm expert can immobilize a Refining God Realm cultivator with a single thought, leaving them powerless and at their mercy," Ye Lei hastily advised via sound transmission.

"No matter how strong Liu Hui is, he can’t possibly be stronger than someone in the Purity Realm. Don’t let him throw his life away for nothing."

Mo Qi waved his hand dismissively and smiled. "It’s fine. He’s just a Pseudo Purity Realm cultivator who barely reached this level by merging with a Demon Beast. Liu Hui can handle it."

Seeing that Mo Qi was insistent and Liu Hui was eager to try, Ye Lei could only shake his head and sigh.

’Ah, young people. They just don’t know their own limits.’

’A Pseudo Purity Realm is still a Purity Realm. How could a mere Refining God Realm cultivator possibly resist Domain Power?’

"Grandstanding. Making your subordinate go to his death just for attention."

Qi Tian’s sarcastic voice piped up again. He just couldn’t stand Mo Qi’s calm demeanor and would never pass up an opportunity to attack and ridicule him.

"Why don’t you go up, Mr. Half-Glory?" Mo Qi shot Qi Tian a sidelong glance.

Qi Tian immediately shut his mouth. Would he dare to go up? Of course not!

The nickname "Mr. Half-Glory" made him want to cough up a mouthful of old blood, almost knocking the wind out of him.

’What a masochist. He just had to stick his face out for me to slap it.’ Mo Qi didn’t find Qi Tian hateful; instead, he found him pathetic.

’To be a person like Qi Tian... that’s a skill in its own right, I suppose.’

"Let’s fight!" With the Spirit Marrow still in his mouth, Liu Hui leaped into the battle ring to face Zheng Xiao.

"Elder Ji, what should we do?" The various Elders of the Void Sect all looked toward Ji Lin.

Ji Lin flung his wide sleeve. "Hmph. Let them be. If they’re determined to die, we can’t stop them."

No one thought Liu Hui could defeat Zheng Xiao. After all, one was in the Purity Realm, while the other was merely at the Refining God Sixth Heaven.

"You dare kill a disciple of my Wolf Fang Sect? Today, I’ll skin you alive and light you like a lantern!" Zheng Xiao stared coldly at Liu Hui, a sinister laugh escaping his lips.

"Skin me? Half-Beastman, I’m afraid you don’t have what it takes," Liu Hui retorted.

’Half-Beastman?’ It took Zheng Xiao a moment to realize Liu Hui was talking to him.

"You’re courting death! A mere Refining God Sixth Heaven cultivator... I’d like to see what gives you the right to be so arrogant!" Zheng Xiao roared in fury.

His figure flashed and vanished. The next second, a beastly claw appeared behind Liu Hui, swiping at his head.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Liu Hui detected the movement, twisted his body to the side, and dodged the claw.

With that one move, his Cultivation at the Refining God Ninth Heaven was completely exposed.

"Oh? So you hid your Cultivation. No wonder you won a match. But even the Refining God Ninth Heaven won’t save your life. Freeze!"

Zheng Xiao unleashed his Domain, suppressing Liu Hui and rendering him immobile.

Liu Hui felt an invisible force permeate the air around him. It was incredibly viscous; the more he struggled, the stronger the restraining force became.

’Is this a Domain? The special technique of the Purity Realm?’

"Still think I don’t have what it takes to skin you now?" Zheng Xiao sneered, walking step by step toward Liu Hui until the inch-long, sharp tip of his claw was pressed against his brow.

Jin Quan and the other Wolf Fang Sect members smiled in satisfaction. This was a battle without any suspense.

The atmosphere on the Void Sect’s side, however, was bleak. They were all as wilted as eggplants after a frost.

"Sigh..."

Ye Lei and Ye Dian sighed and looked away, unwilling to watch Liu Hui’s gruesome death.

"This is what happens when you show off! Serves him right to die!" Qi Tian inexplicably felt his breathing become smoother. The corners of his mouth turned up in a slight smile.

Diao Qing, on the other hand, looked at Mo Qi with great interest, hoping to see panic or surprise on his face. But to his disappointment, Mo Qi’s expression remained as calm as ever.

’Mo Qi, do you really have another trick up your sleeve, or are you just cold-hearted?’ Diao Qing was thoroughly puzzled.

Even with a sharp claw pressed to his brow, Liu Hui’s expression didn’t change. He spoke, "You can’t peel my skin."

Zheng Xiao was so angry he laughed.

"I could end your life with a gentle push right now. Where does your confidence come from?"

"No, you can’t," Liu Hui said with a straight face, as if stating a simple fact.

"Hmph, then die!"

Just as Zheng Xiao was about to pierce Liu Hui’s brow with his claw and end his life, he was shocked to find that no matter how hard he pushed, the claw wouldn’t move forward even a fraction of an inch.

At some point, a powerful hand had clamped down on his beastly claw.
