Shi Feiyang emerged from Jade Green Peak. Outside, the great battle still raged.
After briefly assessing the situation, he left Jade Green Peak and flew south along its left side. He soon spotted Dwarf Zhu Mei leading a group of Emei juniors in a fierce battle against a large host of enemies.
At their head were several of Deng Yin's disciples. One of them, Wu Saqi, was his eldest disciple and one of the three who had followed him in flaying off their skin to cultivate.
Deng Yin had fifteen disciples in all. Those first three possessed the greatest magical power; each was a sect-leader-level expert in his own right and could split off three blood shadows.
After Deng Yin obtained the three-thousand-year-old ancient Gods oil from the Wuhuashi Ancient Tomb, he helped them condense the Demon God Blood Flame above their crowns as well, though each had refined only a single flame.
Wu Saqi had also mastered Ten-Finger Blood Flame Demonic Light. He fired it wildly at the Emei Sect's side, then unleashed his Blood Shadow Whip, sending it dancing through the sky like a blood-red snake.
Earlier in the battle, Zhu Mei had unleashed the Qiantian Taiyi Soundless Divine Thunder he had obtained beforehand from the Wondrous Truth Abbey, utterly destroying four of Wu Saqi's junior brothers and two blood-shadow incarnations, as well as two of Wu Saqi's magic treasures. Fortunately for Wu Saqi, he had taken precautions. Moreover, since leaving the Star Lodge Sea, he had killed many people and absorbed vast quantities of fresh blood essence, causing his demonic cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds. Only thus had he escaped the same destruction of body and spirit.
The two sides fought ferociously, blood-flame Demon Light clashing with Sword Qi, thunder, and fire. Heaven and earth
