625: Chapter 625 Arrogant Gu Tao, Yao Yiming

The blonde man gave an evil smile and spoke slowly, "If it weren't for Miss Xiao Yuer, I might consider it!"

"After all, a rose with thorns is spicier and has more flavor!"

"Unfortunately, I've passed the stage of seeking thrills; I have loftier ideals!"

"Miss Xiao Yuer? Hehe, then Senior Brother Gu Tao will have to work hard. But you shouldn't underestimate that boor!"

Princess Zixun looked at the arrogant Gu Tao playfully and spoke faintly.

Gu Tao was extremely arrogant, but he really shouldn't underestimate Hun Tiandi. No matter how much he plotted, he would never imagine that Miss Xiao Yuer, whom he could not win over, already had countless ties with the boor before him.

Hearing Princess Zixun's words, Gu Tao's expression darkened, sensing a hidden meaning.

But for a moment, he couldn't fully grasp it. He gave Princess Zixun a deep look before turning his head to gaze at Hun Tiandi in the distance.

Covered in a murderous aura and drenched in blood, he paid it no mind, looking like a Blood God walking out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

So unkempt and crude. He gave Hun Tiandi a cold glance before his gaze fell upon Dao Sword once more.

Puchi!

Hun Tiandi's Fighting Qi surged violently, causing the remains of the Blood Feather Mercenaries to explode, sending a rain of blood pouring down.

Any other opponent facing the brutal Hun Tiandi would have hidden away long ago, yet the Blood Feather Mercenaries were fearless of death.

The more brutal the opponent, the more they were drawn to them. The more blood rained from the sky, the more excited they became.

After his slaughter, the violent aura built up inside Hun Tiandi had mostly dissipated; continuing further was meaningless.

At the same time, he drew closer and closer to the leader.

His gaze was like a blade, fixed on the cold-faced Blood Feather leader in the distance.

The Blood Feather leader's left-hand storage ring absorbed the surrounding soul power. Simultaneously, he took out a small pouch from his waist, opened it, and released countless tiny blood-colored flying insects.

They converged in mid-air into a vortex, flowing like a wave of blood.

"Blood Fiend Poison Bees, Rank 3 magical beasts. They are bloodthirsty and cruel by nature, living in swarms. They possess potent toxins capable of paralyzing soul power and feed on blood and baleful aura. Under the stimulation of blood, even Rank 4 or 5 magical beasts must avoid their brunt!"

Peng An cried out in alarm, not expecting the Blood Feather Mercenaries to have such a trump card.

It seemed the power behind the Blood Feather Mercenaries was not simple!

A sea of blood-red, the buzzing sound of their flight caused waves of rumbling all around, as if they were infinite.

With a wave of the Blood Feather leader's hand, the Blood Fiend Poison Bees lunged toward Hun Tiandi.

Buzz buzz...

Endless Blood Fiend Poison Bees flew rapidly toward Hun Tiandi.

Circulating his Fighting Qi, he formed a protective barrier of astral qi within three zhang of his body, blocking them outside and obscuring his vision.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Ling cried out, seemingly worried about Hun Tiandi.

"Hmph! Taiyin True Fire, Extremely Cold Flame!"

Hun Tiandi let out a cold snort, and the ghostly blue flames seeped out from his pores, engulfing his figure.

As Fighting Qi permeated the air, the flames wrapped around the astral qi shield, turning into a towering inferno that swept up the Blood Fiend Poison Bees.

The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, frost spread, and the Taiyin True Fire circulated like meteors, refining the Blood Fiend Poison Bees.

They turned into fly ash and fell to the ground.

Hun Tiandi moved his long blade, the ghostly blue flames clinging to the edge. Any Blood Feather Mercenaries who drew near were frozen solid and torn to pieces by the blade qi.

At this moment, no blood flew; they all turned into ice sculptures.

Watching from a distance as the sky-filling cold flames exterminated everything, Dao Sword smiled slightly and tapped his toes.

Zhi-yin...

On the battlefield, countless sword lotuses emerged everywhere, spinning rapidly. Sword qi erupted, harvesting the lives of a large number of Blood Feather Mercenaries.

However, the Blood Feather leader seemed to feel fear. The Sha Demon he sat upon turned around, attempting to flee.

But Hun Tiandi had already closed in. From the ghostly blue flames in the sky, a giant fire dragon dove down.

Ang...

Under Hun Tiandi's guidance, the massive fire dragon crashed violently toward the Blood Feather leader.

Boom!

Under the world-destroying Taiyin True Fire, the Blood Feather leader did a donkey roll, dodging the fatal blow.

His arm, however, was touched by the flames. Frost spread along his right arm, freezing his flesh, meridians, and Fighting Qi entirely.

The Sha Demon beneath him turned into a translucent ice sculpture under the fire dragon's assault.

Buzz!

Hun Tiandi flew forward and shattered it with a single strike; not even a scream was heard.

Silver lightning flashed at his toes. In the blink of an eye, he reached the Blood Feather leader and decapitated him with one strike. The extreme cold spread, his physical body shattered, and his soul power was annihilated.

With a grab in the air, the green storage ring falling to the ground landed in his palm.

Seeing Hun Tiandi stop fighting, a hint of surprise flashed in Dao Sword's eyes. He thrust his long sword into the ground.

Zhi-yin...

Instantly, thousands of giant sword qi erupted from the ground. The sword light swept across, and the remaining nearly one thousand Blood Feather Mercenaries were slaughtered clean.

They were completely wiped out!

"Such pure sword intent! A Dou Zong? Is this something a Dou Zong can comprehend?" Gu Tao said in surprise.

"Truly incomparably domineering!" Princess Zixun spoke softly.

"Domineering?" Gu Tao looked at Princess Zixun strangely. Were those ghostly blue flames a Heavenly Flame?

Hun Tiandi took a deep breath, calming the murderous aura in his heart, and regained his cold and charming temperament.

Dao Sword didn't mention the competition either. Both were simply tempering themselves, regardless of winning or losing.

"What kind of storage ring is this? It can actually collect soul power?" Peng An looked curiously at the green storage ring in Hun Tiandi's hand.

In the Fighting Qi Continent, storage rings that could house soul bodies were rare but not nonexistent. However, a storage ring that could autonomously collect soul power was unheard of.

Peng An didn't recognize it, nor did Dao Sword. Mr. Corpse Soul narrowed his eyes; he seemed to recognize it but pretended not to.

Hun Tiandi knew the miraculous nature of this object and gently tucked it into his robes.

The town was saved. The townspeople were still terrified as a young man walked out of a house and put away his formation flags.

"Sir..." the people said in panic.

"Thank you all for the rescue. Yao Yiming offers his greetings!" The young man in the water-blue robe said gratefully, glancing at Hun Tiandi's chest.

"A Dou Zong?" Peng An frowned.

"I am a rogue cultivator. I was passing through here to gather herbs. I heard the Cangtian Grand Assembly is approaching, so I followed my teacher to take a look. I didn't expect to encounter the Blood Feather Mercenaries. If it weren't for your help, I might have been killed and had my heart gouged out. Thank you!"

Yao Yiming bowed to everyone again. Behind him, Liu Ling frowned slightly. As an Alchemist, he could naturally smell the faint medicinal fragrance on him.

It was very faint; this person was hiding something.

If one were an Alchemist who dealt with medicinal herbs and pills year-round, how could the pill fragrance on their body be so thin?

"Are you from the Medicine Clan?" Suddenly, Liu Ling spoke.

Hearing this, Yao Yiming's expression froze momentarily, but he spoke calmly, "No, no. The Medicine Clan is a top-tier power in the Central Plains, while I have been an orphan since childhood. I was taken in and raised by an old man and followed him to learn alchemy. I took the surname Yao only because I hope to achieve something in the art of alchemy!"

"Cangtian Grand Assembly?" Hun Tiandi frowned.

"You know of the Cangtian Holy Land?" Dao Sword asked.

"Naturally. My teacher was invited. Although I haven't entered the Sacred Land yet, my teacher is nearby!" Yao Yiming said, surprised.

"Good, he happens to know!" Dao Sword said to Hun Tiandi.

"Hun Tiandi, I won't see you off then. Take care!"

"Thank you!" Hun Tiandi nodded slightly.

Soon, Dao Sword took Peng An and flew into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The townspeople in the distance still didn't dare to come out.

"The three of you, please!" Yao Yiming smiled and turned to leave.

"Please!" Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, exchanged a look with Mr. Corpse Soul and Liu Ling, and followed Yao Yiming.

"Senior Brother Gu Tao, let's part ways and pursue our own targets!" Princess Zixun smiled faintly, and then the two went their separate ways.
