Twin Blood Moons

"Crash!"

From the surrounding ruins, Yuan Qiupeng crawled out.

"Did you really think you could escape?"

Before he could react, another sword strike descended from the sky.

He had no choice but to endure it!

He unleashed his full power, sending a massive ball of mana towards the heavens.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion echoed once more.

Everything on Zhang You's side had already fallen silent.

Within the immense crater, not a trace of life remained.

"That kid looks like he was blasted to smithereens!"

After Pang Biao investigated the area, he reported the findings to the others.

"Let's use the Life Gathering Array. As long as we can reassemble the opponent's flesh and bones, there shouldn't be a major problem," Tang Julou suggested after a moment's thought.

Qin Fengtian nodded, taking out the array disk again and tapping it a few times.

The stone pillars outside Xiaolin City erupted in a powerful glow, casting a pinpoint of light into the large crater where Zhang You had been attacked!

"Let's wait!"

Afterward, the group moved towards Yuan Qiupeng.

"You all deserve to die!"

Suddenly, an enraged voice boomed, and Yuan Qiupeng, with only half his body remaining, appeared in the crater.

He was quite strong to have survived on the spot.

"Hundred Soldiers Rampage!"

Dense metal appeared within the crater, crisscrossing erratically, and soon Yuan Qiupeng was riddled like a hornet's nest.

Since the forbidden technique's duration hadn't expired, he continued to struggle.

However, with a flash of sword energy, a head flew into the sky!

Only when the enhancement from his forbidden technique faded did his body finally cease its struggles!

Yuan Qiupeng, who had committed many evil deeds, was finally killed by Qin Fengtian and the others!

He died a stifling death!

His strength was not even half of what it could have been!

A strand of blue and white energy flew out!

"Rise!"

Qin Fengtian channeled several streams of mana into the array disk in his hand.

Above the City Lord's mansion, something resembling a heart appeared.

Yuan Qiupeng's body exploded on the spot, transforming into streaks of bloody light that were absorbed by the heart!

"Continue!"

Soon, streams of bloody light rose from various locations in the city, all converging and pouring into the heart!

These were the cultivators who had been resisting Qinhuayan throughout the city.

They had already been annihilated by the array.

"These dead souls are not enough to revitalize the Blood Heart, but they are a decent source of nourishment," Tang Julou remarked, staring at the heart.

"Quick, come look! Something seems wrong over here!" Pang Biao shouted, and the others quickly gathered around.

In the crater where Zhang You had vanished, there was no sign of flesh and blood reassembling!

"Heh heh! That brat isn't dead!"

Qin Fengtian produced a dagger and threw it behind him.

"Ouch! I've been discovered!"

Zhang You revealed himself, shaking his head. With a flick of his finger, the dagger was sent flying.

"You're a bit stronger than we imagined! You've been hiding quite deeply!" Shopkeeper Ling exclaimed.

"Shopkeeper Ling! I'm calling you 'Shopkeeper' one last time! It seems you've been hiding more than I have! I've been targeted by you since I first arrived in Xiaolin City. If I hadn't been lucky, I wouldn't have discovered your little schemes! Am I really that desirable, that you've been thinking about me for so long?"

Zhang You glanced at Shopkeeper Ling, his expression unreadable.

"You can only blame your own Pure Body's extreme peculiarity. Just obediently offer yourself up! We can at least grant you a swift end!"

Shopkeeper Ling shook his head.

"Don't talk so ambiguously! Anyone overhearing would think I'm some peerless beauty! I'm just curious, how did you know I have this so-called Pure Body? And what benefits does this physique bring you?"

Zhang You had a question of his own. Although he knew he had a special physique, it certainly wasn't that damned Pure Body.

"We laid down a formation here many years ago, and the core of that formation is the bones of a Pure Body! As soon as someone with a related physique enters Xiaolin City, we can sense it!"

"Although we've sensed quite a few people over the years, only one barely met the minimum requirement! Until you appeared!"

"You must know that the creators of this formation claimed that even a Pure Body with only seventy to eighty percent compatibility would suffice!"

"But you actually achieved perfect compatibility! Ten out of ten!"

"As for what benefits you can bring us, it's longevity, of course!"

Qin Fengtian's eyes gleamed with madness.

Upon hearing "longevity," the others' eyes also flared with divine light!

Hearing this, Zhang You formed a guess: the so-called formation core required someone with a special physique, and over the years, only his unique physique had achieved perfect compatibility!

What a coincidence, it was like fate knocking on coincidence's door, coincidence to the extreme!

"Why waste words on him? Just suppress him directly. I don't believe he can cause much trouble!"

Pang Biao, with his fiery temper, spoke up.

"The timing is perfect!"

Tang Julou pointed to the Blood Moon in the sky.

At this moment, it was completely intact, its color a deeper red than usual, and the moonlight it cast carried a chilling aura!

Suddenly, another Blood Moon appeared beside the existing one.

Its appearance was without any warning; everything happened so suddenly!

Abruptly, a massive light screen materialized beneath the Blood Moon.

And on the light screen were densely packed cracks!

Yet, it still emanated a powerful magical force, resisting the cold light cast by the Blood Moon.

This cold light was no simple matter; it carried a potent corrosive power, actively damaging the light screen.

In the blink of an eye, the cracks on the light screen multiplied!

Soon, a trace of sinister energy managed to seep through!

"Hahaha! Great Xia is probably finished! It won't last more than three years at most!"

Pang Biao stared at the light screen, his excitement growing!

Before, with Great Xia's suppression, cultivators dared not cause chaos indiscriminately.

Once the dynasty fell, it would be carved up by all the forces!

A cultivator like him, with inferior talent, might even get a small share.

The reason they dared to perform a blood sacrifice on Xiaolin City today was because Great Xia was already too preoccupied to attend to every region, hence they had this opportunity!

"Shopkeeper Li and Pang Biao, you two deal with this little thing. I, the Tang Family Head, and Boss Ren will immediately proceed to activate the grand formation."

Qin Fengtian glanced at the others.

No one objected.

Soon, Qin Fengtian, Tang Julou, and Boss Ren sat in a circle beneath the massive heart.

"Rumble!"

Qin Fengtian manipulated the formation disk, and the stone pillars outside the city sank several feet, releasing a stream of black smoke that spread for miles.

Quickly, the life force within the black smoke was directly siphoned through the ground into the stone pillars.

Tang Julou and Boss Ren each produced a talisman, chanting an unknown incantation.

"Bang!"

The talismans ignited directly, turning into a wisp of white smoke that burrowed into the ground.

The ground within the city erupted with a powerful blue light!

Then, the vital energy, spirit, and essence of all living beings in the city began to be drawn into the ground, transforming into streaks of red light that converged towards the City Lord's Mansion!

"Shopkeeper Li, don't intervene. Let me personally cripple this little bastard!"

"Watch me crush his skull! Hahaha!"

Pang Biao didn't even transform into his beast form; he charged directly at Zhang You, reaching out with one hand to grab him!

"Slow..."

Shopkeeper Li had no time to stop him.

"Pfft!"

Pang Biao felt his vision blur. At the critical moment, he twisted his body to the side.

A good half of his body was sliced off!

"Ah!"

Then a heart-wrenching scream rang out!

"Die!"

Zhang You casually swung a hand-blade towards the other's neck again!
