Chapter 1108: Chapter 1043: Despair and Domination!

The center of the island.

The people from the nine super tribes and the Trading Pavilion had all already returned one after another.

They each occupied a side, waiting for the pillfire to be born.

"Boom!"

Suddenly.

A terrifying killing intent surged in like a tide, engulfing the entire island.

"Huh?"

The ten were startled and looked up. When they saw the returning Heart Demon Qin Feiyang, a trace of doubt climbed into their eyes.

"Swoosh!"

The Heart Demon Qin Feiyang stopped in midair above the crater. The erupting lava couldn’t withstand his pressure at all and scattered through the sky.

Pei Qin smiled and asked, "Little friend, why did you come back again?"

"I forgot something."

The Heart Demon’s lips curled as he swept his gaze over the crater below.

Inside the volcano, he could faintly sense the aura of a pillfire.

Obviously.

The unborn pillfire was in this volcano.

Seeing the Heart Demon surveying the crater, the three couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Pei Qin smiled calmly and said, "Little friend, everything should be first come, first served, right?"

"First come, first served?"

"Are you joking?"

"In this world, it’s about whose fist is bigger."

"Now I officially declare, the pillfire here is mine. You can get lost."

The Heart Demon looked utterly arrogant, not putting these ten people in his eyes at all.

"Get lost?"

Without a doubt, the ten were furious.

Leaving aside their status, just talking about their strength, no one had ever dared talk to them in this tone.

The word "get lost" was not only an insult to them, it was trampling their dignity!

"Not convinced?"

The Heart Demon swept his gaze across the crowd, his eyes filled with contempt to the extreme.

"Although little friend is indeed strong, we old fellows are not that weak either. So I advise little friend, you’d best know what’s good for you."

Pei Qin chuckled.

The Heart Demon looked at Pei Qin and sneered coldly, "Old bastard, among these people you seem to be the one jumping the most. Haven’t you heard that the bird who sticks its head out gets shot?"

Boom!

As his words fell.

A world-shocking killing intent burst from the Heart Demon’s body. He abruptly dove down, charging straight at Pei Qin.

"Damn!"

Pei Qin shivered.

Only now did he realize that no one else had spoken.

How could he be so muddle-headed?

He was filled with regret.

But it was too late to take it back now. His gaze turned gloomy as he coldly snorted, "The bird who sticks its head out gets shot? That also depends on whether you have that ability!"

Boom!

As his voice landed, a terrifying imperial might surged out from his aging body, sweeping toward Qin Feiyang like a sky-covering tide.

"So I finally see your cultivation clearly. I originally thought you were a Six Star War Emperor, but it turns out you’re just a Five Star War Emperor."

The Heart Demon gave a disdainful smile, dropped like lightning before Pei Qin, and slapped out with a palm in midair.

No Battle Intent.

And he didn’t use any battle art!

The Heart Demon said with scorn, "See that? Dealing with you, I don’t even need Battle Intent."

"Arrogant!"

"Ancestor Mu was already arrogant enough, but this guy is even more arrogant than Ancestor Mu. As expected of real brothers."

Wu Kai and the others’ pupils shrank.

However.

Pei Qin was at least a Five Star War Emperor, while this man was only a Three Star War Emperor, a full two minor realms apart, yet he wasn’t even using Battle Intent. Wasn’t that a bit too cocky?

And Pei Qin was, without a doubt, completely enraged by the Heart Demon’s words.

"Brat, you’ll soon find out that in front of this old man, you’re not even qualified to be arrogant!"

Pei Qin roared furiously. His withered arm shot out, Battle Intent surging from his palm as he struck at the Heart Demon without the slightest intention of dodging.

That was what he was thinking.

Since this man dared to act so cocky, he might as well seize the chance to kill him with one palm!

After all, paper can’t wrap fire.

If one day the truth came out and this person discovered that Ancestor Mu’s death was related to him, the trouble would be even bigger.

So it was better to pull the weeds up by the roots right now.

Boom!

In an instant, the two palms slammed together.

But at the same time, a blinding golden light surged from the Heart Demon Qin Feiyang’s palm.

—Counter Curse Manual!

Right then.

Pei Qin was blasted flying, the skin and flesh of his arm torn open, blood gushing!

"What?"

"Pei Qin actually lost?"

Wu Kai and the others were dumbfounded.

You had to know, Pei Qin had used Battle Intent, yet he still couldn’t beat this man?

What the hell was going on?

"This power..."

"It actually rebounds!"

Pei Qin himself was also full of disbelief. After stabilizing his body, he stared at the Heart Demon Qin Feiyang in horror.

"Seeing you putting on such a big act, I thought you were something amazing. Turns out you’re just so-so!"

The Heart Demon grinned, stepping out with mysterious footwork, leaving one illusion after another around Pei Qin. Each illusion was incomparably real, like his clone.

—Phantom Step!

"This is... a perfect auxiliary battle art!"

Wu Kai’s expression changed drastically.

A middle-aged woman frowned and said, "Why does this battle art look somewhat familiar?"

"Familiar?"

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

"I can’t recall it for the moment."

"But this kind of footwork should be terrifying, because no one knows where his real body is."

The middle-aged woman said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded. Pei Qin might be in trouble this time.

Looking at Pei Qin again.

His face was dark as he swept his gaze over the Heart Demon Qin Feiyang’s illusions.

It was indeed as Wu Kai and the others had guessed. Faced with all those illusions, he really couldn’t tell which one was Qin Feiyang’s true body.

However.

It wasn’t impossible to break. He just had to destroy all the illusions!

"Perish!"

He raised his head to the sky and howled, hair bristling in rage.

His aura surged like a rainbow piercing the sky, rolling in all directions as those phantoms were continuously annihilated.

"Old bastard, I’m right here!"

Suddenly.

A playful voice sounded by Pei Qin’s ear.

Pei Qin’s hair instantly stood on end, and he threw a punch without the slightest hesitation.

"Heh!"

The Heart Demon grinned ferociously, slammed his big hand forward, golden light reappearing in his palm.

"Boom!"

"Ah!"

With a miserable scream, Pei Qin was blasted away once again, his arm shattering on the spot.

"It bounced back again."

Pei Qin’s body and mind trembled.

Earlier, when he felt that rebounding power, he thought it was just an illusion.

Because in his view, something this strange couldn’t possibly exist in this world.

But this time.

He felt it incomparably clearly.

That shattered arm was also the best proof!

"How do you know this kind of battle art?"

Pei Qin looked at the Heart Demon in shock and doubt.

Because as far as he knew, there was another person who also mastered this same battle art.

And that was the infamous Qin Feiyang!

"What do you think?"

The Heart Demon licked his lips, pointed into the air, and bellowed, "Return to Ruins!"

A surge of Invisible force instantly roared at Pei Qin like a raging flood.

"You’re getting way too cocky!"

Pei Qin’s gaze turned cold as strands of black aura burst out of his body.

"Not good!"

"Fall back, now!"

Wu Kai and the others’ expressions changed, and they hurriedly retreated in a flash.

"What’s going on?"

The Heart Demon was baffled.

The next instant.

He saw the black aura emerging from Pei Qin suddenly turn into layers of black mist, surging toward Qin Feiyang like a collapsing mountain and a crashing sea.

This black mist carried a strong, ghostly fragrance.

The Heart Demon took a sniff and immediately felt dizzy and faint.

Poison!

His eyes twitched.

He had actually forgotten that this Old Bastard was also an Old Viper.

And far more terrifying than a viper.

After all, he could even control vipers.

He immediately held his breath and retreated backward.

"Hahaha..."

"This poison gas is my greatest trump card, on par with a perfect battle art."

"Even if you hold your breath, you can’t block it, because it’ll seep in through your pores."

"Take a good look, your skin is already festering. In less than ten breaths, you’ll be blown to pieces."

Pei Qin laughed wildly, his face twisted and ferocious.

The Heart Demon was startled and quickly raised both hands, lowering his head to look.

Sure enough!

The skin on his hands already showed signs of festering, and that black mist clung like a bone-deep maggot, impossible to shake off once it stuck.

"Brat, I admit you’re strong, but there’s a saying—ginger gets spicier the older it is. You’re still far off." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Pei Qin looked at him with disdain.

"Tsk tsk tsk, let you take a tiny bit of advantage and you get this smug? Old bastard, your mental fortitude still needs some serious tempering!"

The Heart Demon shook his head with a mocking chuckle as purple-gold Dragon Energy shot into the sky. A purple-gold divine dragon instantly manifested above his head, the dragon’s power shaking the world.

"Rooaar!"

Then the purple-gold divine dragon let out a deafening dragon roar, and an invisible soundwave swept out in torrents.

In an instant.

The black mist in this stretch of heaven and earth was annihilated one after another!

Pei Qin himself was also engulfed by that soundwave. In a split second, his whole body was covered in blood, with bone visible in several places.

Even Wu Kai and the others who had retreated far away had blood spurting from their ears, thunder rumbling in their minds.

Their faces were all filled with horror!

What kind of battle art was this? How could it be this terrifying!

In a daze, it was as if they saw a god descending into the world, and an inescapable fear surged up from the depths of their hearts.

At the same time.

The volcano also collapsed, magma erupting into the sky like fireworks!

But the pill flame had yet to appear.

The Heart Demon raised his head to look at Pei Qin, showing a mouthful of white teeth as he smiled and said, "Is this all it takes to knock you down?"

"You little bastard, I’m going to cripple you!"

Pei Qin burned with fury.

A dignified Five Star War Emperor actually being suppressed by a Three Star War Emperor, and in front of so many acquaintances at that—where was he supposed to put his old face after this?

This outrageous humiliation had to be washed away!

Boom!

His rage flared, and his aura exploded in full.

Right after.

A black giant python soared into the air from behind him, hundreds of meters long, like a towering mountain ridge, exuding a world-shocking ferocity!

This was his Battle Soul!

The Heart Demon deliberately put on a frightened look and called out, "Oh my, you’re using your trump card this fast?"

"Little bastard, you won’t be arrogant for long. Innate Divine Ability, Light of Destruction!"

As his words fell.

A jet-black beam of light suddenly shot out from the giant python’s brow, carrying world-destroying might as it tore through the sky and shot toward Qin Feiyang.

"Then you’re going to be disappointed, because I’m going to stay arrogant, and sooner or later your God Python tribe will be ground to dust under my feet. As for you, get ready to report to hell right now!"

Bloodlust flickered in the Heart Demon’s eyes as the crimson sword soul tore into the sky, its Innate Divine Ability awakening as that flame beast phantom roared forth.

Roar!

Clang!

The two Battle Souls, carrying destructive power, advanced side by side and lunged at that black beam.

Rumble!

With a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion, the black light dispersed.

Then.

The two battle arts pounced toward the giant python.

Hiss!

With a wail, the giant python also collapsed on the spot.

Pu!

With his Innate Divine Ability and Battle Soul shattered one after another, Pei Qin’s insides suffered unprecedented damage. His body trembled in mid-air as old blood spurted wildly.

Watching the roaring flame beast phantom and the crimson sword soul charging at him, a trace of despair couldn’t help but surface in his eyes.

Such terrifying methods, such a terrifying Battle Soul—how could Ancestor Mu have such a powerful big brother?
