523 Attack the Center!

The five cultivation techniques allowed one another to harmonize. Although Qin Huai’s array of techniques varied greatly in terms of compatibility, he had ‘died a thousand deaths’ to gain them. But the case was different with Wang Kun…

Qin Huai’s suspicion that Wang Kun also had a system grew increasingly certain. It was a hard pill to swallow, yet if he himself could transmigrate and obtain a system, it made sense that others might have that chance too. He even started harboring a more audacious idea — could they possibly have the same system?

Bang!

A thunderous explosion shattered the silence as the sea of blood exploded. Drenched head to toe, Wang Kun broke out of the crimson wave.

“Brother Qin, are you done adjusting?” he asked, exuding vitality, but there was a weariness in his eyes. “It’s too uncomfortable. Those voices are making it difficult for me to recuperate,” Wang Kun complained vehemently. The voices of the evil spirits in the blood sea were more harrowing than any other place.

Qin Huai agreed, nodding in deep understanding. But Wang Kun disagreed — it wasn’t simply more harrowing, the voices had invaded his mind, he explained, sighing deeply. “Sometimes, I even feel like I am one of them… After staying in the blood sea for so long, I seem to be able to see their experiences. No, I seem to have become like those people, experiencing their lives.”

“Since it’s so painful, you might as well not cultivate in the blood sea next time,” Qin Huai teased.

“Ah… Then forget it,” Wang Kun retorted. “Haha! Although cultivating in the blood sea is tough, the effects are still shocking.” He then revealed a surprising fact, “Brother Qin, you don’t know, but my cultivation speed in the blood sea is at least ten times faster than those demons who cultivate in the blood crystal pillar!”

Qin Huai nodded. “I’m afraid it’s more than ten times. I saw the power on your body rising outside the blood sea. Your blood essence is visibly red and majestic.”

“Hahaha… Brother Qin, if we meet the black-red fish king again, I will definitely catch one for you. After refining it into a guardian spirit item, we only need to stay on the blood sea for a few more months. I’m afraid we’ll be able to reach the peak of the visceral prefecture realm!”

Qin Huai interjected, “Even so, we still need to have enough guardian spirit items, right? Besides, Elder Wang, don’t forget why we’re here.” His voice grew solemn. “The power of this blood sea is getting more terrifying by the day. The longer we delay, the more risk we face.”

Wang Kun immediately sobered up, patting his forehead, “Look at my head, I almost fell for it.” Fear flashed across his face, “Now I finally understand why those evil cult followers are so insane.

“A double cultivation speed can make a warrior obsessed. It can make someone kill people who have nothing to do with him, and a ten times cultivation speed is enough to make a person ignore his family and forget everything. This is even more terrifying.” He broke out in a cold sweat, for this intense cultivation speed was accumulated at the cost of human lives.

“Let’s move,” Qin Huai stated curtly.

“Alright!” Wang Kun nodded, plunging back into the blood sea.

Qin Huai observed Wang Kun, who dove into the blood sea like a fish in water, then directed himself towards the core area where the Kun Peng were. Before long, he saw the blood crystal pillars standing on the sea of blood.

“These people are really enjoying themselves,” he remarked.

Suddenly, the gray wings on Qin Huai’s back burst into flames. The fiery feathers detached themselves and floated in the wind, becoming arrows targeted at the blood crystal pillars.

Boom!

Flames ripped through the sky, using the hurricane’s power to trigger a sea of fire. From a distance, it looked like a golden kasaya had streaked across the sky, engulfing the densely packed blood crystal pillars.

Explosions followed, weak and miserable wails echoing in the aftermath. After a series of explosions, the blood sea slowly regained its calm.

Qin Huai stood on the periphery, silently gazing out across the expansive sea of blood. He watched as demons awoke from their blood crystal pillar slumber and glared angrily in his direction.

Yet, to his bewilderment, they ran towards the center of the blood sea. Confused, he questioned, “What’s going on? Don’t these demons have any pride as part of the Kun Peng clan?”

He had provoked them and yet, they fled. “Have they seen through me?” he wondered, his expression barely changing. Undeterred, he challenged, “Then let me see how long you guys can remain cowards.”

With a mighty flap of his wings, Qin Huai took flight, diving deeper into the blood sea. His speed was incredible, covering hundreds of meters with each beat of his wings. All around him, many demons were still struggling to escape their blood crystal pillar encasements.

Flames fell relentlessly from his wings, piercing the blood crystal pillars. Blood wolves and blood tigers charged forth, exploding upon contact with the pillars. Like a bomber, Qin Huai wreaked havoc wherever he flew, leaving only the tranquil sea of blood in his wake.

Suddenly, he stopped. Before him, the sky swarmed with countless demons, their eyes filled with murderous intent. At their forefront was a woman with a striking figure.

Her aura was overwhelming, the pulsating blood essence evident even from hundreds of meters away. Another clan leader.

“I really didn’t expect a demon of the Kun Peng clan to be killed by me and then flee. I was still wondering whether I had killed a demon of the Kun Peng clan or the demon of the Turtle clan,” he taunted, his mockery unmistakable.

His words sparked an uproar among the demon ranks. Curses filled the air, accompanied by the surge of qi and blood. The ensuing energy stirred the sea of blood into waves, whipping Qin Huai’s black hair around.

But, as spiteful as their words were, their feet remained glued to the spot, betraying no intent to confront Qin Huai. Meanwhile, the woman leading the group extended her hand, bringing an instant silence over the horde.

“I didn’t expect you to be so handsome. Do you want to be my servant? We can write off our past grudges.” The leader of the northern clan smiled charmingly. Her eyes were as gentle as water, as if they could seduce one’s soul.

Qin Huai smirked. “You make it sound so easy. I killed two Kun Peng clan leaders and hundreds of elites. How can such a grudge be offset by a single sentence from you?”

“It’s not like I’m the one who died,” she retorted. “The elites who were killed were not my clansmen… It’s all thanks to you that our northern clan’s power has grown quite a bit. Do you think I should repay this favor?”

Qin Huai feigned interest, “How about you devote yourself to me? It would be the first time in the world that an expert at the peak of the visceral prefecture realm served. Then…,” he hesitated, then added, “Why don’t you kill everyone around you first? I don’t like having people watch me while I’m doing things.”

“Can’t we just chase them away?” she asked, maintaining her composure.

“When I’m working, I can’t let anyone within a hundred miles because the commotion is too big,” he responded, evading her proposition.

“Then why don’t you come over? I really want to give it a try,” she suggested, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

“Then I’m coming,” Qin Huai said, instantly vanishing from his position.

Boom!

The skyful of flames abruptly dissipated. Within the blink of an eye, Qin Huai reappeared, less than ten meters away from the woman.

She was taken aback by his speed, having underestimated his agility. In a low voice, she warned, “Killing people is not something that can be done quickly!”

Boom!

Her words were followed by a sudden flare of flames in front of her eyes. Strangely, the flame’s color was different from those on Qin Huai’s back.
