216: Chapter 216 Demonic Power Overwhelms the Heavens, Yao Ming Makes His Move

"Hmph!"

Hun Tiandi let out a cold snort, his long blade dancing incessantly in his hands. He struck with full force, every slash ferocious, every move life-threatening.

The long blade was like a gale and a storm, each strike faster than the last, attacking with extreme madness. In the eyes of outsiders, the youth in the cyan robe had gone mad.

It was too brutal; he was suppressing his opponent at the Dou Ling level.

Yao Tong's strength was significantly greater than Hun Tiandi's; his attacks were more powerful, and his speed was faster.

His shortcoming was that he was not as ferocious as Hun Tiandi. Hun Tiandi was immersed in his own world of slaughter, striking with unwavering resolve, as if the young master Yao Tong before him were his mortal enemy.

Yao Tong's expression turned cold. He unexpectedly shifted from passive to active, his Dou Qi raging wildly; it was no longer just Hun Tiandi attacking.

The ground beneath them was covered in exploded footprints. The fight was incredibly intense. Yao Tong's Spirit Snake Sword Dou Technique was like a venomous snake—chilling and bloodthirsty.

The snake-shaped longsword in his hand seemed to come alive, attacking Hun Tiandi's vital points.

Every time Hun Tiandi struck, he attacked the weak points of the sword technique, but this could not continue. With his comprehension of blade techniques, combined with his ferocious momentum...

He could hold his own in the fight, but his Dou Qi could not match his opponent's.

The longer the fight dragged on, the more disadvantageous it became for him.

Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method!

"Cleave!" Hun Tiandi suddenly shouted. The muscles on his body surged, his long blade carrying an ominous aura, the blade energy incredibly condensed. With a flash of red light in his eyes, he slashed fiercely at Yao Tong.

Yao Tong's expression changed, his heart filled with shock. To think this brat could still erupt with such strength.

He must have used a secret technique to boost his strength. In this moment of crisis, he exerted his full power to respond aggressively.

Boom!

A loud sound echoed as one was sent flying back. With a single slash, they crossed paths, and a life was lost.

The snake-shaped longsword in his hand was also knocked away by Hun Tiandi. Hun Tiandi turned his head with a face full of killing intent; a thin line of blood appeared at Yao Tong's throat.

Defeated? No, he was dead. Yao Tong's cultivation was clearly higher than the youth's, yet he had been killed in a counter-attack.

Whoosh!

Hun Tiandi let out a light breath, calming the aura in his heart. Immediately, Yao Tong's beast soul drifted out from his body and was devoured by the ten thousand soul banner.

"Bastard! You dare to kill the young master of my Nine Serenities Deep Earth Python Clan? You deserve to die!"

You Xuan, who had originally been entangled with Feng Qing'er, watched as the young master Yao Tong was killed. He flew into a rage and slammed a palm down toward Hun Tiandi.

"Old ghost You Xuan, don't even think about it!" Feng Qing'er flashed, blocking in front of Hun Tiandi. Of course, she did not act to save Hun Tiandi.

This damn old ghost had actually used red dust smoke on her. The heat within her body was becoming increasingly intense, crazily assaulting her mind.

After Yao Tong was slain, a heaven-shaking aura erupted from the depths of the Nine Serenities Deep Earth Python Clan's territory, rushing into the firmament accompanied by the crackle of thunder.

"What is happening? Why is the clan leader so enraged? Could it be that some expert is attacking us?"

"Indeed, I fear something major is about to happen!"

The experts within the clan all stared at the abnormal sky with terror. From the depths of the clan grounds, a cold and bloodthirsty figure appeared in mid-air.

"Who dares to kill my offspring?" The current clan leader of the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python, Yao Ming.

The man was quite handsome, but between his brows, there was an inescapable chill. His eyes slightly opened, flashing with a sharp light, like a venomous snake capable of devouring the world, causing one's heart to turn cold.

His figure flickered and disappeared into thin air.

In the Beast Sea.

Putting away his long blade, he quickly formed seals with both hands, activating the blood-colored runes on the banner. They flickered and intertwined incessantly, refining the ten thousand soul banner.

Under his activation, the originally black-purple banner was evolving toward a blood-red color. This time, devouring thousands of beast souls was enough energy for its evolution.

A ferocious face emerged, emitting monstrous demonic might, with ghosts crying and wolves howling.

It disturbed the mind, causing souls to ache...

The banner transformed into a blood-red color at a speed visible to the naked eye, the terrifying devouring power it erupted with spreading wildly.

The various experts who had been fighting all turned their gazes toward the blood-colored vortex, that heaven-shaking demonic might rushing into the firmament.

A pillar of blood-colored light shot into the sky, forming a sea of blood clouds that emitted a terrifying aura.

"This... this terrifying aura is even stronger than the previous two..."

"Indeed, the precious treasure of slaughter from before has already been taken by that brat; this one must absolutely not fall into his hands..."

"No, the most important thing is that it must not fall into the hands of the Magical Beast experts. It is easier for us to seize it from the youth."

The experts from all sides exchanged glances, each understanding the other's calculations.

The human experts were doing their utmost to block the Magical Beast experts. About an hour later, the ten thousand soul banner had transformed into a blood-red color, emitting a strong and terrifying demonic might.

While everyone was deliberating, in mid-air, a black-clad figure stood suspended, looking down and scanning the surroundings, his gaze staring at the battlefield with extreme venom.

"Who killed my son?" A cold voice rang out, clearly falling into everyone's ears.

Everyone was speechless, save for the old ghost You Xuan, who hurriedly said, "Clan leader, it is that brat..."

He pointed his finger at Hun Tiandi, and the gazes of everyone present landed on him, like sharp swords.

"Come out, my demonic banner..."

At this moment, Hun Tiandi ignored his surroundings, an excited expression appearing in his eyes, flickering with blood-colored light. With a flick of his finger, a blood-colored demonic banner slowly rose into the air from within the Beast Sea.

"This is... let this demonic banner compensate for my son's life!" Yao Ming's cold eyes radiated a dark light.

He ruthlessly extended a large hand, reaching toward the blood-colored long banner.

A son? He could just have another one if he died, but this blood banner was definitely a precious treasure. He struck, breaking the calm.

"Let's use this to test the evolved ten thousand soul banner!" Hun Tiandi ignored the large energy hand and immediately grabbed the air, clasping the ten thousand soul banner in his palm.

Awoo! Roar!

With an evil, charming smile, he gently shook the soul banner. Two heaven-shaking roars reverberated through the firmament. The Azure Sea Profound Dragon Beast stirred up azure waves and raging billows, enveloping the energy handprint and drowning it in the vast ocean.

The Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Emperor roared repeatedly, overturning rivers and seas, tearing the handprint apart. Yao Ming's powerful strike was actually neutralized by the two major demonic souls.

"Heh heh, truly a good treasure..." A look of excitement flashed in Yao Ming's eyes. Since this treasure could unleash such power in your hands...

Then you shall return with this Saint to the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan and be a good guest!

"Come here!" Yao Ming struck again, a bloodthirsty look appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Even though Hun Tiandi had the ten thousand soul banner in hand, the gap in strength was too great; he could not unleash the banner's true power.

He truly felt the aura of death, but this would not make him resign himself to capture.

Looking at the ten thousand soul banner in his hand, a look of reluctance flashed in his eyes. Was this demonic artifact, refined with so much effort, to be destroyed just like this?

He held his hands in a void embrace, and the ten thousand soul banner slowly rose into the air. The blood-colored runes on the banner flickered, the blood-colored light becoming increasingly brilliant.

A destructive aura was slowly flowing.

"Brat, if you dare to destroy this treasure, this Saint will skin you alive!"

Yao Ming had originally thought the youth would hand over the blood banner to save his life, but he had not expected this brat to be so ruthless, actually wanting to destroy such a treasure rather than go to the clan as a guest.

Looking at the hand covering the sky, a light flashed beneath Hun Tiandi's feet, and his figure instantly retreated violently.

He left behind a trail of afterimages, his speed extremely fast.

As Hun Tiandi retreated violently, Yao Ming revealed a cruel smile. The space twisted slightly, and his figure actually disappeared into thin air.
