Although Qin Feiyang's words dealt a heavy blow to Young Master Hao, they also made him see himself clearly, which could be considered a good thing.

"You really want to go?"

Wang Zicheng looked at Qin Feiyang and asked once again.

Qin Feiyang nodded.

His mind was made up; no one could change it.

Wang Zicheng couldn't be bothered to persuade him anymore and asked, "Where are you now?"

Qin Feiyang shook his head and said, "I'm on a small island. I don't know what it's called exactly."

Wang Zicheng said, "Show me the whole island."

Qin Feiyang nodded, grabbed the Image Crystal Stone, soared into the sky, and stood high above, pointing the Image Crystal Stone down at the island.

Like this, the entire island was clearly presented before Wang Zicheng.

Wang Zicheng carefully observed for a moment, then said, "I know it. That's a nameless island. I've been there before. It's only a little over two hundred li from the Old Viper's lair."

"Which direction?"

Qin Feiyang asked.

"Due west."

"On the way you'll pass four islands, and the fifth island beyond those is the Old Viper's lair, called Viper Island."

"Viper Island has a very obvious feature: it looks like a giant python coiled on the surface of the sea."

"You need to be careful, because Viper Island is not only a gathering place for poisonous bugs and monsters of the inner sea, the air is also filled with a toxic gas that can numb a person's nerves."

Wang Zicheng warned.

"Many thanks."

"Once I've dealt with this matter, I'll rush over and meet up with you."

After Qin Feiyang finished speaking, he prepared to put away the Image Crystal Stone.

"Wait."

"How are you planning to deal with him? Still using that Invisibility Technique?"

"If you're using the Invisibility Technique, I advise you to give up. The Old Viper's whole body is poisonous; with your current cultivation, you can't even get close to him."

Wang Zicheng said.

"If the Invisibility Technique won't work, I still have other methods. In any case, this time I'll make sure he disappears from this world for good!"

A cold light flickered in Qin Feiyang's eyes. After shutting off the Image Crystal Stone, he looked toward the west, his gaze filled with a chilling murderous intent.

Boom!

Suddenly.

An earth-shattering killing intent roared out of his body.

That killing intent had even taken on substance, like strands of blood-red flame burning around him.

And at the same time!

Between his brows, blood light surged, and a blood-red character for "Kill" quickly surfaced.

At this moment, he was like a Killing God incarnate. That terrifying killing intent made even the nearby Sacred Beasts tremble uncontrollably in despair!

That's right!

This was exactly the Killing Art!

This was also the first time he had activated the Killing Art.

It showed just how much he hated the Old Viper!

"Qinghai's Ten Geniuses…"

"Just you wait. Very soon you'll realize you're not qualified to rule this sea yet!"

Qin Feiyang muttered, then unfolded Phantom Step and strode through the air.

Roar!

Several Six Star War Saint Sea Beasts burst out of the sea with roars, bloody maws gaping, fangs glinting.

Boom!

Qin Feiyang brought his hands together in a seal. The Divine Dragon Seal appeared in the world and instantly suppressed and killed them.

A horrifying scene unfolded right after!

The blood spilling from those Sea Beasts actually all turned into surging blood-colored waves that rushed toward Qin Feiyang's brow, and in the end were all absorbed by that "Kill" character.

And as that "Kill" character absorbed more and more fresh blood, his aura also began to steadily rise.

"Killing Art, I want to see if you can really amplify an entire major realm!"

The Iron-Sheet Book recorded that the essence of the Killing Art lay in constantly absorbing the blood of living beings, allowing the user to increase their strength by up to one whole major realm.

Look closely.

Not a minor realm, but a major realm!

In other words, as a War Saint now, Qin Feiyang could ultimately use the Killing Art to forcibly step into War Emperor.

This was a heaven-defying Divine Art!

But whether it was truly so still remained to be verified.

Qin Feiyang's long hair danced wildly. Like a god or demon, he slaughtered his way forward.

Any Sea Beast that blocked his path was buried in the sea, its blood completely absorbed, leaving only shriveled corpses floating on the surface.

Boom!

When he had absorbed the blood of the fiftieth Sea Beast, Qin Feiyang's aura suddenly soared to Four-star War Saint!

But this was only the beginning.

Roar!

Crash!

Rumble!

With his cultivation raised to Four-star War Saint, his methods grew even more fierce.

Those Five Star Sacred Beasts and Six Star Sacred Beasts were even more vulnerable; he slaughtered like a madman!

Boom!

When he had absorbed the blood of the hundredth Sacred Beast, his cultivation rose once more, stepping into Five Star War Saint!

He walked on corpses and blood, shrouded in a mist of gore. Even his eyes and black hair were gradually dyed red, like a Grim Reaper walking out of hell!

"Too terrifying!"

"Is he human, or a devil?"

The Sea Beasts that usually ran rampant in the inner sea felt an indescribable, chilling dread claw up from their hearts at this moment.

Some Sea Beasts that had just surfaced, upon seeing this scene, immediately turned tail and dove back into the sea.

Boom!

When he killed the two-hundredth Sea Beast, Qin Feiyang's cultivation broke through once again, stepping into Six Star War Saint!

He felt a power like never before, his blood surging. He felt as if he could punch a hole through the heavens!

"He's a devil, a bringer of calamity!"

"Run!"

The sea in this region boiled over.

Countless Sea Beasts leapt and plunged, fleeing in terror!

"A mere human dares to run wild in the inner sea? Courting death!"

An angry roar rang out as a Sea King Lion broke through the waves, its massive body like a mountain, its ferocity overwhelming!

It had the cultivation of an Eight-star War Saint.

Without another word, it pounced straight at Qin Feiyang. The fangs in its mouth were over a meter long, like sharp blades, gleaming with a cold light, incomparably terrifying!

"If you hadn't rushed out to block my path, would I have killed you?"

"You're the ones courting death!"

"Return-to-the-Ruin Art, fourth form, Return to the Ruin!"

Qin Feiyang's face was incomparably cold. His index finger pointed into the air, and a stream of Invisible force roared through the sky, killing it in an instant. That waterfall-like fresh blood surged toward the center of his brows.

The bloody 'Kill' character at his brow became even more conspicuous!

The killing intent shrouding his whole body also grew more and more terrifying!

Boom!

When he finished absorbing the blood of the four hundredth Saint Beast, his cultivation stepped into Seven-star War Saint!

At this moment.

Whether it was his long hair or his eyes, both had already turned blood-red, as if he were bathing in blood, his Evil Qi overwhelming!

"Does it need that much blood?"

Qin Feiyang muttered.

Absorbing the blood of fifty Sea Beasts, he stepped into Four-star War Saint.

Absorbing the blood of one hundred Sea Beasts, he stepped into Five Star War Saint.

Absorbing the blood of two hundred Sea Beasts, he stepped into Six Star War Saint.

Absorbing the blood of four hundred Sea Beasts, he stepped into Seven-star War Saint.

This was increasing by multiples and multiples!

And they were all Saint Beasts!

The Killing Art was indeed heaven-defying, but it was also far too bloody.

Moreover.

As he absorbed more and more blood, his mind was gradually getting lost.

This was caused by the excessive Evil Qi.

Killing intent was already replacing his consciousness.

In fact, in the end, he might completely lose himself and turn into a Demon King who knew only slaughter.

Boom!

No one knew how much time had passed.

Finally.

Qin Feiyang's cultivation stepped into Eight-star War Saint!

This also meant that the number of Sea Beasts that died by his hand had already reached eight hundred.

Of course.

Most of what he killed were those Sea Beasts that took the initiative to provoke him.

At this point, he finally saw the first island Wang Zicheng had spoken of.

The island was about half a li in diameter, and there was an extremely fierce aura on it.

Nine-Star War Saint!

Obviously.

A Saint Beast at Nine-Star War Saint was lurking on the island.

"What?"

"Is he human?"

"Why does he look so much like a devil?"

It was a Lion Headed Hawk, not very big, just over three meters long, with the head of a lion and the body of a falcon. Its fur was glossy all over, like silk.

It was the emperor of this region, ruling countless Sea Beasts.

But at this moment.

It stood on the summit of a mountain in the center of the island, gazing into the distance at Qin Feiyang. Its huge pupils were full of terror.

Swoosh!

When Qin Feiyang stepped into the sky above the island, that terrifying killing intent swept in all directions. The Lion Headed Hawk's body trembled, and it hurriedly turned to flee.

Qin Feiyang did not give chase. He swept a cold glance over the island, then continued flying forward.

After that.

Along the way, no Sea Beast dared come out to block his path.

Not long after.

The second island Wang Zicheng had mentioned also entered his sight.

On the island, there was not a single fierce beast's aura.

Qin Feiyang couldn't help but frown. At this rate, he might not even be able to reach Nine-Star War Saint.

But on second thought, it didn't really matter.

Although Viper mastered a Forbidden Technique, he was only an Eight-star War Saint. Qin Feiyang, on the other hand, might not have a Forbidden Technique, but don't forget, he controlled two kinds of Divine Art!

Swoosh!

He no longer delayed. Stepping into Phantom Step, he pushed his speed to the limit and shot straight toward Viper Island.

He passed the third island, the fourth island!

Finally.

Viper Island appeared before him!

Viper Island spanned over ten li. The mountains on the island rose and fell, lush with vegetation. From afar, it really looked like a giant python lurking on the surface of the sea.

At the same time!

There was a mountain at the center of Viper Island, over a thousand zhang tall. Its summit was like a knife cut, flat and even.

And on the summit sat a black ancient castle. No people could be seen anywhere around it, making it seem mysterious and eerie.

But inside the tightly shut castle sat a young man.

He was about one meter eighty tall, with a slender figure and regular features, considered quite handsome, but his skin carried an eerie shade of green.

Especially those green, ghostly eyes of his, like a pair of serpent pupils, glinting with a cold, gloomy light.

Exactly!

This man was Viper, the Old Viper who struck fear into all who heard his name!

"What on earth is this? After studying it for so long, I still don't have the slightest clue?"

At this moment.

Viper was holding a jade vial in his hand, which contained a kind of red liquid.

This was precisely the so-called temporary antidote that the old man in green had given him.

In the way of refining poisons, Viper had considerable confidence.

Originally, he had wanted to analyze this red liquid, to extract from it the true antidote, so that he would no longer be under the old man in green's coercion.

But after a period of analysis and dissection, he discovered that he actually couldn't distinguish the components of this red liquid at all.

Unable to identify its components, naturally he couldn't formulate a true antidote.

This made him very angry.

He was an extremely arrogant and conceited person. He didn't like acting on others' orders, and he liked even less having his life held in someone else's hands.
