Blood Hell Azure Dragon!!!!

Boom!

As Xiao Yunyi roared, the forbidden art Flame Star exploded right before Qi Lin's eyes.

The power of this true forbidden art looked to be far greater than Qi Lin's earlier Five Decays Fire Breathing.

Smack, smack, smack!

Qi Lin had moved long before Xiao Yunyi made his move.

Forbidden arts took time to unleash. He didn't need any!

Using Blood-Shining Hell, he ran straight back!

When Flame Star exploded, it blasted him aside and set the clothes on his back alight.

Without a sound, he rolled straight into the rainwater!

"Blood-Shining Hell really isn't all-powerful."

"But it gives me infinite possibilities..."

He rolled onto the ground and sprang up!

Qi Lin's eyes narrowed. The blood-red downpour in the eyes of the thirty-three people intensified severalfold, blocking their vision!

"Xiao Yunyi!!"

Qi Lin knew every one of these Xiao Clan geniuses who had passed the demonic bone test!

"Where is he?"

Xiao Yunyi had unleashed his forbidden art, and everyone around him had chased after Qi Lin, leaving him standing there in a daze.

"Above you!!"

The instant Qi Lin spoke, the Rosy Flame sword plunged into the Baihui acupoint at the crown of Xiao Yunyi's head and came out through his chin!

"Ugh..."

Xiao Yunyi's eyes went wide, and he instinctively clutched the blade at his chin.

In the world he saw, hundreds of blood-red suns blinked, all watching him!

Then his vision went black!

"Thirty-two left!"

Qi Lin vanished into the torrent of rain, his ghostly voice turning the Xiao Clan geniuses' faces pale.

This was Blood-Shining Hell!

So what if you knew it was mental control?

"With rain pouring from the sky today, this is my home ground!"

Alone with his sword, Qi Lin combined Blood-Shining Hell with the torrential rain and crashing thunder that filled the sky and began his slaughter!!

"Find him, quick!"

"Slice him to death!!"

The thirty-two were mad with rage!

Just as Xiao Yunyi had said, if they couldn't kill Qi Lin today, they might as well atone with their deaths!

"Everyone, take three Qi Explosion Pills!"

With the Shimmering Star Armor on, Xiao Xuanxing was much calmer than the others.

"Don't let him scare you! This mental control must have a mental limit! His True Essence has a limit too!"

"Even if we just drag this out, we can wear him to death!"

He could never have imagined that killing one Qi Lin would force them this far.

"I'll use Limitless Lightning to light him up!"

Xiao Mingxi also unleashed a forbidden art.

Under his Soul Essence's control, a serpent of lightning shot overhead, instantly becoming a net of electricity that fell and lit up a blood-colored dark figure in a flash.

"He's here!"

The instant Qi Lin was illuminated, at least another dozen blades and swords came slashing down!

The fastest among them were undoubtedly Xiao Leyan's Rushing Thunder Divine Sword and Xiao Su'e's Summer Sound Sword Art!

One was a lightning sword art, the other a sound-wave sword art. Both were the finest of the Xiao Clan's First Qi Upper Grade sword arts, renowned far and wide.

Sword sounds shrieked behind him and serpents of lightning surged. The instant the light caught him, Qi Lin spun around and swept the Rosy Flame sword across!

Minor Star and Moon Sword Art.

Moon Shadow!!

Qi Lin's sudden slash traced an enormous blood-red crescent!

His control over Blood-Shining Hell had grown more precise. Combined with Moon Shadow and the blood rain filling the sky, the slash became bloody and ever-changing.

The variations in its sword momentum completely surpassed the First Qi Upper Grade!

Splurt, splurt!

Two sword strokes, and two hands went flying!

Xiao Leyan and Xiao Su'e stared at their severed hands, freezing on the spot like pieces of wood.

"It's fine! It must be an illusion. Even the pain is an illusion!" Xiao Leyan said fiercely.

Splurt!

Qi Lin flashed in front of him and chopped off half his head with one stroke!

"Is it an illusion now?"

Xiao Leyan couldn't answer him then!

Another one dead!

Qi Lin grew excited as he killed. Like a war god from a blood hell, he hacked off half of Xiao Su'e's face with another stroke, then hoisted her corpse over one shoulder and charged into the crowd.

The girl's body was his shield!

He had no choice but to be brutal!

This was a fight with nine chances of death and one of survival. He couldn't even control his own sword momentum, only hacking wildly without caring where he struck.

Crack, crack, crack!

In a short time, Xiao Su'e, the blood shield in his hands, was chopped into bloody pulp by the attacks coming at him from all sides!

Qi Lin also took a sword strike to the shoulder, tearing open a bloody gash!

The searing agony was so real that it completely ignited his ferocity!

"Kill! Kill! Kill-!!"

He hoisted another human blood shield over his shoulder and ran through the encirclement of geniuses trying to kill him.

If Blood-Shining Hell hadn't been frantically affecting their minds and vision, Qi Lin would have been hacked to pieces long ago by so many geniuses attacking him at once!

Even so, he had indeed discovered that his talent for close combat and battle tactics was off the charts!

Today, using only Star Point and Moon Shadow, he was unmatched in swordplay even against those a realm above him.

"These people are loaded! Fucking loaded!"

The Qi Explosion Pills they swallowed raised their True Essence, which already had the advantage, by another half realm.

Clang, clang!

After clashing swords head-on, Qi Lin's right hand was covered in burst blood vessels!

How far had he fought?

The Rosy Flame sword in his hand had struck so many bones and weapons that several notches were nearly chipped into its blade.

At this rate, the sword would break too!

Even his True Essence was more than half spent!

There were too many enemies!

By now, Qi Lin was dizzy and his vision swam, his legs as heavy as lead!

Never in his dreams had he imagined that one day he would kill until his whole body was limp and sore!

"Nineteen left!!"

That number was the only thing sustaining his resolve to keep killing.

"Nineteen! Nineteen!"

He couldn't stop!

If he stopped, he would be hacked to death by their swords!

Even if he was a step too slow, he might have his head chopped off, be blasted to charcoal by a forbidden art, or be smashed into meat paste by an essence weapon!

Nine chances of death, one of survival!

Truly nine chances of death, one of survival!

"Xiao Chen, I've put up with you long enough!!"

Qi Lin roared and dodged the Golden Stove Seal as it crashed down beside him!

Boom!

The Xiao Clan genius's corpse he was carrying was chopped in two!

Braving the blast of an explosive lightning forbidden art and enduring the bloody mess it made of his back, he charged right up to Xiao Chen!

Splurt!

With one stroke, Qi Lin sent Xiao Chen's head flying into the air!

The head in the air was filled with terror and shock!

"Fuck your mother! Die!"

Qi Lin roared and hurled Xiao Chen's headless corpse back, knocking several pursuers away!

Boom, boom, boom!

Blades, swords, essence weapons, and forbidden arts kept smashing and blasting apart the high walls and the bluestone pavement.

"Xiao Xuanxing, are we still going to keep killing?"

The forbidden-art genius Xiao Mingxi looked at the mangled corpses of the Xiao Clan geniuses covering the ground, his voice trembling and choked with tears.

Thirty-five talented young members of the Xiao Clan!

Now only eighteen were left...

Half of them had been killed by one man!

Mangled corpses littered the ground, and not one was whole!

And Qi Lin, though covered in blood, though gasping for breath, though his body was heavy...

He was still killing!

Killing madly!

Like a blood-soaked wild beast!

Xiao Mingxi was afraid.

He trembled all over and, weeping, grabbed Xiao Xuanxing's hand. "I... I have to go," he said shakily. "We've lost too badly! If the elders see so many of us dead, a lot of them will cough up blood and die..."

The elders weren't the only ones who hadn't imagined it. They hadn't imagined it either!

Thirty-five geniuses, with ten Xiao Clan elders keeping watch, had set out to kill one wild dog from Mystic City.

And this was what he had done to them instead!

No one knew what had happened here yet. Zhao Jianchen and Master Fu were still fighting. Whoever saw the mangled corpses covering this flooded long road would go mad, wouldn't they?

"No... no!!!"

Xiao Xuanxing had gone mad too. His whole face was twisted, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"So many people have died, and we still haven't killed him. If word gets out, our entire Xiao Clan's reputation will be ruined overnight!"

"The Xiao Clan will become the laughingstock of the world! We'll be sinners in the Xiao Clan's history!"

"Although half of us are dead, and although he really is terrifying, we have no way back now... If we kill him, we can still save half our face! We'll still have a chance to turn things around against the odds in the future!!"

Xiao Xuanxing roared.

Bang!

He actually smashed the Shimmering Star Armor onto the ground.

"Do you think I'm shouting here because I have the Shimmering Star Armor?"

"I'm not afraid to die!"

"I'll lead you in!"

"If I don't torture this Mystic City wild dog to death today, I'll have failed our ancestors! I won't deserve to live in this world!"

"Follow me, kill!!!"

The Shimmering Star Armor smashed onto the ground ignited a mad fire of hatred in the eyes of the eighteen remaining people.

"Kill!"

Qi Lin had only just caught his breath.

He looked up and saw that they had gone mad again!

"Xiao Clan!!"

His body, which had just begun to tire, burned anew under the provocation of their brutal gazes.

Countless fiery blood markings appeared on his body!

Just as they did when Fire Burning Disease flared up...

But Qi Lin no longer cared.

He threw the broken Rosy Flame sword to the ground.

"Next, we'll do this together."

He drew the black wooden sword formed from ten ancestral spirit tablets!!

Divine Prison!

The moment he drew the sword,

Blood rain roiled across heaven and earth.

Beneath the howling wind, Qi Lin's wet black hair flew in the gusts, scattering drops of blood.

"Qi Lin!!"

At that moment, he shouted to himself-

"When your body reaches its limit, an unyielding will shall lead you to slaughter your way out of the encirclement!!!!"

Boom! Boom!

Blood red swallowed his eyes.

From the black wooden sword came the aged, weighty voice of Qi Tiandao, the first-generation ancestor.

"Second elementary Divine Vein..."

"Blood! Hell! Azure! Dragon!"

That cry... blew Qi Lin's ear canals apart!!!

In an instant, the hundred eyes vanished from the heavens.

But in the very next instant, the earth beneath his feet seemed to plunge into a boundless blood hell!

An enormous hellish blood eye encompassing half the Divine Strategy Manor appeared beneath Qi Lin's feet. It spun thunderously upon the earth, dragging the entire world into a mad rotation!

Palaces and pavilions spun, torrential rain and thunder spun!

Countless streaks of blood red whirled wildly!

"Hiss! Hiss!"

Within the enormous blood eye in the earth were packed over a hundred blood pupils.

Every blood pupil was crammed with countless blood-red azure dragons!

They roared and bellowed within the blood eye!

It was as though a hell imprisoning Blood Hell Azure Dragons had appeared beneath Xiao Xuanxing and the others' feet!

"Uh..."

At that moment, the world of the eighteen remaining Xiao Clan geniuses seemed to freeze.

Endless terror spread through their bodies!

And of course, there was a horrifying sense of dizziness!

"Hah... hah-"

Their faces were deathly pale as they gasped for breath.

Roar! Roar!

Countless thunderous roars erupted!

Blood Hell Azure Dragons crawled out of the pupils, winding around their limbs, bodies, and heads like blood vessels in a human eye.

"I'm not fighting anymore!"

Xiao Mingxi burst into tears on the spot. "I'm not fighting anymore! We've lost! Run!"

But his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't run at all!

The Blood Hell Azure Dragons coiled around him were so real, so hideous.

It was the deepest terror!!

This time, hearing Xiao Mingxi's sobs, Xiao Xuanxing's throat bobbed twice. His eyes trembled wildly, but he didn't argue back.

"Qi Lin..."

He suddenly opened his eyes as wide as they would go and roared at the black-clad boy charging toward him, "We surrender! Spare our lives!"

Rip!

Qi Lin didn't even stop. He struck with his sword.

Xiao Xuanxing was cleaved in two!

"If I surrendered, would you spare my life?"

Xiao Xuanxing's eyeballs rolled onto the ground. He couldn't answer the question.

Qi Lin kicked him aside and charged at the other Xiao Clan geniuses.

"I'll ask you too! If I surrendered, would you spare me?"

"Would you?"

"And you!"

The only response to Qi Lin was their terror and wailing, and their desperate struggles and attempts to flee beneath the Blood Hell Azure Dragons' restraints.

At that moment, those dignified Xiao Clan geniuses had been utterly crushed!

Their hearts had been torn apart!

They had lost all power to fight. There was only terror, only begging for mercy, only kneeling!!

The moment Xiao Xuanxing died, they were all destined to die!

Facing this group of Xiao Clan geniuses who could clearly still fight but whose hearts had collapsed, leaving them useless, Qi Lin chased and killed them.

One sword strike per person!!

They had started out shouting that they would chop Qi Lin to pieces. Now they scrambled and crawled, tails between their legs, howling on the ground like dogs, only to be hacked to death by Qi Lin's sword!

Xiao Yunyi, Xiao Mufan, Xiao Chuqing, Xiao Yixiu, Xiao Chu...

These Xiao Clan scions, each famed as a genius in the Divine Strategy Manor, now trembled, convulsed, and twitched, too terrified even to lift their swords!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Qi Lin didn't need to do anything else. He could easily catch up to them and drive his sword into their hearts from behind.

They didn't even dodge. They simply rolled onto the ground and died, eyes wide and filled with immense terror!

Splash!

"You're the last one."

Qi Lin looked at Xiao Mingxi, who had collapsed limply on the ground before him, his voice sounding as though it came from hell.

"Qi... Qi Lin..."

Xiao Mingxi huddled up, piss and shit streaming down him, his hair a tangled mess. Even his tongue was trembling as it lolled out...

He looked just like a living dog!

Qi Lin raised his sword.

"Uh!"

Xiao Mingxi's whole body shuddered, then suddenly went limp.

He had actually been scared to death.

"Heh."

Qi Lin gave a cold laugh.

"A bunch of trash."

After he cursed them like that, the thirty-five mangled corpses on the ground could finally no longer talk back.

Qi Lin looked away from them, raised his head, and closed his eyes.

He stood amid the mangled corpses strewn across the ground, letting the rain wash the blood from his face and body.

"First ancestor."

His lips moved slightly.

"The world is in great turmoil, and the common people are suffering. I, Qi Lin, am willing to be a sword of the Qitian Clan, to slaughter every wretch under heaven, the Prison Devils, and the gods..."

Having spoken, Qi Lin opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Mystic City.

His expression suddenly turned frantic.

He was speechless!

His face was full of speechless disbelief!

He shouted:

"Grandpa, so there wasn't a secret expert after all?"

"You nearly got me killed, fuck!"
