With my nine meridians taken away, I will prove my invincibility with the Demon Seed!

At this moment, Qin Yi's body was like parched and cracked earth.

The blood and vengeful spirits devoured by the golem nourished Qin Yi's body like a torrential rain.

Color quickly returned to Qin Yi's pale face.

The weakened body recovered, and its energy and blood became vigorous again.

The remaining vital energy was poured into the sea of ​​blood and stored there, while wisps of vengeful spirits floated and screamed above the sea of ​​blood!

After Qin Yi devoured all the surrounding blood and vengeful spirits...

With a thought, he recalled the golem and then manipulated the Gentle Breeze Pearl to break the seal of the Nine Heavens Gale Formation on this area.

Immediately afterwards, he sent the Nine Nether Devouring Python into the Wind Pool Secret Realm to bring Feng Linglong out.

"Junior Brother Qin..." Feng Linglong's eyes were slightly red. Although the battle here had ended, she had just heard the huge roar of the battle outside while she was in the Wind Pool Secret Realm.

She knew very well that in that short period of time, Qin Yi was walking on the edge of death.

Qin Yi said, "Senior Sister Feng, there's no need to say anything else. I've already gained initial control over the power of the Nine Heavens Gale Array through the Warm Breeze Pearl. Let's head to the Wind Emperor's Palace immediately!"

"Yes!" Feng Linglong nodded.

Qin Yi and Feng Linglong stood atop the Nine Netherworld Devouring Python.

The Nine Nether Devouring Python unleashed its power and charged forward at incredible speed.

Qin Yi then began to use the Soul Severing Three Lives Technique, burning the resentful souls he had just devoured, transforming them into spiritual power, and continuing to inject it into the Warm Breeze Pearl to further activate the power of the Nine Heavens Gale Array.

The situation inside the palace was already very bad, with rebels everywhere. Qin Yi and his group fought their way through, and when the Nine Nether Devouring Python couldn't defeat them, Qin Yi used the power of the Nine Heavens Gale Formation to bombard them.

Incidentally, he also killed the withered wood Taoist who was at the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

In addition, he killed two people who had the cultivation level of the Dharma Aspect Realm and who had also cultivated the Seven Killings Technique.

This made Qin Yi realize that the Deathly Scholar of Purgatory had also arrived!

If it weren't for this situation, Qin Yi would definitely have suppressed the Purgatory Assassins at the Dharma Aspect Realm first, and then used the complete Seven Killings Technique to control them.

But... the situation is special now, and time is of the essence.

With his current strength, controlling a Purgatory Assassin with the cultivation of the Dharma Aspect Realm would still require some effort.

This is a time that cannot be wasted!

We have no choice but to kill him first!

As it fought its way through, the Nine Nether Devouring Python feasted to its heart's content, and its combat power grew stronger and stronger, eventually becoming comparable to a martial artist at the second level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Qin Yi also gained something. Not only did he store more blood and resentful souls in the sea of ​​blood, but his cultivation level also improved, breaking through to the fifth level of the Cave Heaven Realm!

…………

The Emperor's bedroom.

"boom!"

A loud explosion.

Even the condensed palace formation was breached.

The figures of soldiers guarding the Feng Emperor's palace flew backward like kites with broken strings.

"Fengming, you deserve to die!"

Song Yu laughed loudly and charged forward with his knife.

General Lu Bing, the Wind Feather Guard commander guarding the Wind Emperor's palace, had his armor tattered and stained with blood. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Kill!"

In an instant, the remaining Fengyu Guards behind Lu Bing roared in anger.

They formed a special formation, used the same spells, and all their power flowed into Lu Bing's body.

Lu Bing, spear in hand, charged toward Song Yu!

If Lu Bing were in good condition, and the number of Feng Yu Guards were greater, with this combined attack technique, Lu Bing, who was at the fourth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, would actually have a chance to barely exchange a few blows with Song Yu.

But now... Lu Bing and the others are all at their last gasp.

Song Yu's face was full of disdain. He swung his sword, and the light of the sword burst forth, dazzling and eye-catching. The huge blade light swept across, and the space seemed to be stirred up with layers of subtle ripples.

Lu Bing's spear was cut in half!

The armor was cleaved open!

His body shot backward!

The Wind Feather Guards who had concentrated their power into Lu Bing's body were all struck by Song Yu's power. They coughed up blood and flew backward. After their bodies crashed to the ground, more than 80% of them lost their lives.

Those who survived by sheer luck were no longer able to fight, and couldn't even get up.

Holding half a spear, Lu Bing struggled to his feet. Looking at his fallen brothers around him, a wave of despair surged through him.

"Lu Bing, I admire you. If you kneel down, I will spare your life and will give you an important position in the future!" Song Yu said, staring at Lu Bing.

Lu Bing raised the remaining half of the spear and roared, "You old scoundrel Song Yu, even if I die, I, Lu Bing, will never bow down to you!"

Song Yu scoffed and said, "Stubborn to the end, then die!"

He raised his long sword once more.

Just as the blade was about to strike, suddenly, with a creak, the door to the Wind Emperor's palace slowly opened.

"Song Yu, spare their lives! I hereby announce to the world that you will take the reins of the dynasty!"

Feng Ao helped the extremely weak Feng Huang out.

Yun Meng'er followed behind.

Originally, the Wind Emperor arranged for Feng Ao and Yun Meng'er to break through and escape.

But... the plan failed.

They couldn't leave.

"Feng Ming, do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?" Song Yu stared at Feng Huang and said with a sneer, completely disregarding Feng Huang.

Now, the situation is completely under his control.

Emperor Feng said, "Song Yu, what you covet is the entire dynasty, but once you ascend the throne, countless voices of opposition will arise within the Great Feng realm. At that time, heroes will rise up everywhere!"

"I hereby announce my abdication, and you will take over the reins of Dafeng, which will save you a lot of trouble later on."

"I have only one request: release my son Feng Ao, Yun Meng'er from Tianxing Martial Academy, Lu Bing from Fengyu Guard, my daughter Linglong who is trapped in the Fengchi Secret Realm, and Qin Yi from Tianxing Martial Academy—a total of five people—from the Great Feng Imperial City!"

"This request is not excessive."

Song Yu's eyes flickered; to be honest, he was a little tempted.

With the Wind Emperor voluntarily abdicating, he did appear to have a slightly more legitimate claim. Although it couldn't resolve all the troubles, it made things much easier for him.

"Father, nip it in the bud!"

At this moment, Song Yu's second son, Song Tao, stepped forward and stood next to Song Yu.

"Feng Linglong and Feng Ao must die!"

"Letting them leave would be tantamount to planting a huge hidden danger. Once they gain enough power, they will surely stir up a great upheaval when they raise their arms again!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yu felt it made a lot of sense. He said, "Feng Ming, you announce your abdication. I can spare the lives of Feng Ao, Yun Meng'er, and Lu Bing."

"But their cultivation must be abolished. From now on, they must remain in the imperial city and are not allowed to leave even a step!"

"As for Qin Yi and Feng Linglong within the Wind Pool Secret Realm, if they are still alive, they will receive the same treatment!"

By abolishing their cultivation and imprisoning them, we won't have to worry about them causing any trouble.

However, the Emperor shook his head and said, "Song Yu, I have already made my final concession. I cannot agree to your conditions!"

If Feng Linglong, Qin Yi, Feng Ao, Yun Meng'er, Lu Bing, and others had their cultivation abolished and were imprisoned by Song Yu, it would be more painful than death.

Moreover, Feng Huang knows Song Yu too well; he will definitely break his promise and will surely kill him when the time comes!

Therefore, to save these people's lives, they must be allowed to leave the imperial city and return to Tianxing Martial Academy.

Song Yu sneered, "Feng Ming, it's best if you agree, but it won't matter if you don't!"

As he spoke, Song Yu unleashed a murderous aura, and the blade in his hand gleamed with a cold, sharp light.

"boom!"

At that very moment, a terrifying aura erupted from Feng Huang, no weaker than Song Yu's.

Song Yu, however, remained unperturbed, saying, "You old fool, you're just at your last gasp. How long can you sustain this burst of energy?"

The Wind Emperor said, "How long we can hold out is not important."

"The important thing is..."

"The stance of the Great Wind Royal Family!"

"What bullshit Great Wind Royal Family? My surname, Song, is the true royal family!" Song Yu roared, swinging his sword in a slash.

A terrifying blade of light erupted suddenly.

With a single palm strike, Feng Huang shattered the blade's edge. His decaying body strode forward, attacking Song Yu!

In an instant, Feng Huang and Song Yu engaged in a fierce battle.

"boom!"

With a single palm strike, Feng Huang forced Song Yu back.

In the next instant, Feng Huang's figure suddenly rushed towards Song Tao!

His forced outburst exhausted all his remaining life force; his purpose was certainly not for the so-called attitude of the Great Wind Royal Family.

Instead... he wanted to fight for a way out for Feng Ao and the others!

Song Yu had only two sons and one grandson.

His eldest son, Song Zhen, is dead!

His grandson, Song Gui, is also dead!

Now, Song Yu only has one son, Song Tao, left.

Song Tao only has a daughter.

Song Yu was no longer able to have children. This was a carefully planned arrangement by Emperor Feng, who saw through Song Yu's ambition. The fact that Song Zhen only had one son and Song Tao had no son was also a result of Emperor Feng's schemes.

Therefore, Song Tao is especially important to Song Yu!

Even if Song Tao is incompetent, at least he can still have children...

But what if Song Tao dies?

Even though Song Yu became the Song Emperor, no one with his bloodline succeeded him to the throne!

Song Tao was so scared that he wet himself.

Song Yu realized Feng Huang's scheme, roared in anger, and was about to pounce.

But it was too late.

But just then...

An unremarkable middle-aged man suddenly appeared and blocked Song Tao's path.

A sword strike was unleashed!

The power of the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm erupted instantly!

This person was none other than the Lord of Purgatory, the Deadly Scholar, who had hidden himself in the ranks after assisting Song Yu in breaking through the imperial palace's great formation.

The Wind Emperor, already exhausted, was sent flying by the sword strike of the Deathly Scholar.

Song Yu lunged forward and slashed down with his sword!

The protective force surrounding the Wind Emperor's body was cleaved open!

The Wind Emperor's body was sent flying backward!

"Bang!"

It crashed heavily to the ground.

"Father!"

Feng Ao rushed over and helped Feng Huang up.

"Wind Emperor..." Lu Bing, who was critically injured, rushed to the Wind Emperor's side.

Yun Meng'er stood aside, watching this scene, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.

After saving Song Tao, the desperate scholar disappeared again, and no one knows where he is hiding.

This is the killer! As the Lord of Purgatory, the Deadly Scholar never appears on the front lines of the battlefield unless under very special circumstances.

He was extremely skilled at hiding and disguising himself, disappearing in full view of everyone as if he had never existed.

Song Yu glanced at Song Tao, who had wet himself in fear but was not injured, and breathed a sigh of relief. The next moment, he looked back at Feng Huang.

"I want you all to die!"

"Today, even if the King of Heaven himself came, it wouldn't make a difference!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yu swept his sword out again, a terrifying blade of light sweeping across the area, unleashing an aura of destruction!

At this moment, Feng Huang, Feng Ao, Yun Meng'er, Lu Bing and the others were powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as the terrifying blade light approached. The shadow of death had already enveloped them!

But at this moment.

A deafening roar erupted!

One after another, sword energies formed from terrifying gales descended as if from the heavens, crushing Song Yu's blade light!

"Even if the Heavenly King himself came, I don't know if it would work."

"But what I said worked!"

"You want to kill them?"

Did I agree?

The next moment, a loud voice stirred up a rolling wave of sound that swept in all directions.

Qin Yi descended from the sky!
