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

Tian Bugui made a bet with the six people, then transmitted his voice to Qin Yi: "Little guy, this is not a place to hide your skills. Martial artists must fight for opportunities, status, and pride."

"This is the kind of attitude you young people should have."

"Just go for it! As long as you don't kill anyone, nothing else matters!"

Upon receiving Tian Bugui's telepathic message, Qin Yi's lips curled into a smile.

Of course, even without Tian Bugui's telepathic message, Qin Yi had no intention of swallowing his anger.

At this moment, Zhu Song from the Desolate Cloud Continent shouted again, "I'll say it one more time, get off!"

Qin Yi said indifferently, "Why don't you roll over and show me first?"

Zhu Song sneered: "A mere second-level Nirvana Realm cultivator, a piece of trash who got in through connections, dares to be arrogant in front of us?"

Qin Yi: "Using connections and backdoors?"

Zhu Song scoffed, "Stop playing dumb. Everyone knows how you used sweet words to flatter and fawn over Miss Sun during your training in the desolate sea!"

Qin Yi: "..."

So, these guys mistook him for Qin An?

Although Qin Yi wasn't afraid of trouble, he wasn't going to take the blame for this, so he said, "I think I need to explain this matter!"

"Explain my ass! Since you won't leave on your own, I'll beat you until you do!" Zhu Song couldn't wait to show off in front of Liang Qi.

Liang Qi is a member of a family specializing in talisman arrays in the Desolate Heaven Domain. Although Zhu Song is a top genius in the Heavenly Star Martial Academy on the Desolate Cloud Continent, his status is far inferior to Liang Qi's.

If they can seize this opportunity to latch onto Liang Qi's coattails, even if he fails to join the Starry Sky Palace this time, he will still have some other benefits in the future.

"boom!"

Zhu Song's figure shot out, creating a sonic boom.

He gathered immense power in his palms and slammed them together repeatedly, creating powerful and profound palm prints that crashed down on Qin Yi with a thunderous roar.

Qin Yi let Zhu Song's palm print grind over him.

He stood there on that blue stone, showing no intention of moving an inch.

Just as Zhu Song's palm print was about to strike the layer of starlight covering Qin Yi's body.

A sudden change occurred.

The starlight surrounding Qin Yi suddenly became several times brighter and more dazzling!

Fifty-six unusual stars appeared!

Runes flowed within all fifty-six of these celestial phenomena!

The Star Array is activated.

Qin Yi didn't even need to draw his sword.

With just a thought, the power of the star array composed of these fifty-six celestial phenomena converged into a massive starlight sword aura.

The starlight sword energy swept across Zhu Song's palm print.

The palm prints, powerful enough to shatter mountains and break peaks, seemed to become extremely fragile, and were repeatedly shattered by Qin Yi's starlight sword energy!

The starlight sword energy swept across Zhu Song's front.

Zhu Song's expression changed drastically. He let out a low roar and immediately retreated rapidly. At the same time, he formed a hand seal and condensed a layer of star armor to protect his body.

His star platform was built upon seventy-two acupoints.

Although he was unleashing the power of the stars within his body with all his might, he still couldn't possibly defeat Qin Yi's Starlight Sword Qi.

After all, Qin Yi's Starlight Sword Qi, although it was only formed by condensing the power of fifty-six star phenomena, was the power of the Star Array, which was the most advanced technique of the Star Body.

Zhu Song's protective star-patterned robe, like a thin veil, was torn apart by the starlight sword energy.

"what!"

Zhu Song's chest was sliced ​​open horizontally by the starlight sword energy.

He let out a scream, lost his balance, and flew backward, finally crashing to the ground and rolling more than ten times.

Zhu Song lay on the ground, blood gushing from his chest, which had been cut open horizontally. His expression was pained, and his eyes showed fear and lingering terror.

In a different setting... that single sword strike would have been enough to take his life!

Qin Yi glanced at the spot where Zhu Song was lying and said casually, "The way you rolled over was quite a sight. You must have practiced a lot, right?"

"Wow!"

Zhu Song was already seriously injured, and this remark made him so angry that he vomited blood.

Surprise appeared on the faces of many young people around them.

"They've actually cultivated the Star Array to this level..."

"No wonder this kid was able to get the spot designated by Protector Sun."

"Fifty-six stars forming an array—that's probably more than half of the people here."

"However, with just this much ability, he shouldn't think he can resolve the current trouble. After all, Zhu Song from the Desolate Cloud Continent is nothing special. He can't get past Liang Qi from the Desolate Heaven Domain."

"The Liang family, to which Liang Qi belongs, is a family of talisman array masters in the Desolate Sky Domain. Many people in the Liang family hold important positions in the Starry Sky Palace based on their talisman array skills. Liang Qi's talent in talisman arrays is considered to be in the middle to upper range among the current generation of the Liang family."

"Several months ago, I heard that Liang Qi had already condensed the Star Array to the point of having sixty-one star array eyes!"

At this moment, Qin Yi had also turned his gaze away from his defeated opponent Zhu Song and stared at Liang Qi.

Liang Qi's gaze, sharp and piercing, was also fixed on Qin Yi.

Their gazes met in mid-air, as if an invisible, intense collision was taking place.

Liang Qi snorted coldly and said, "As the saying goes, you have to consider the owner before you beat a dog, don't you?"

"To attack my people so brutally in front of me, you're outrageous."

Qin Yi sneered, then looked at Zhu Song and shouted, "Did you hear that? In his eyes, you're just his dog."

Zhu Song was so angry that he vomited blood several times.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Liang Qi raised his voice considerably and said, "I'll give you a chance. Kneel down, kowtow three times, admit your mistake, and compensate Zhu Song with ten thousand Yuan Crystals."

"Of course, if you don't have any Yuan Crystals, then we'll compensate you with one million Yuan Stones."

"In addition, I promise to stay away from Sun Fei from now on!"

Qin Yi: "Who do you think you are?"

One sentence completely shattered Liang Qi's pride and confidence.

"You ignorant fool! I'll show you what's what!" Liang Qi roared, and in an instant, starlight erupted from his body, condensing into sixty-four star array eyes!

"Your Star Array is nothing to me!"

As Liang Qi spoke, he formed a hand seal and attacked Qin Yi.

The power of the grand formation, activated by the sixty-four star array eyes, transformed into a surging, turbulent river of starlight, flowing majestically and cascading away.

The star array formed by the fifty-six star array eyes on Qin Yi's body was violently shaken by such a huge impact, and the star phenomena seemed to be crushed.

Seeing this, Liang Qi became even more pleased. He stepped into the air, carrying the Star Array, and rushed forward quickly. He waved his palms, and the powerful Star Array flowed between his fingers.

"Smash it!"

He came to Qin Yi's side, pressed down with both hands, and tried to crush the star array swirling around Qin Yi.

But the next moment.

The starlight on Qin Yi dissipated.

All the celestial phenomena were also absorbed into the body.

He took a step forward!

Formless Starry Sky Step!

Supernatural power: Shrinking the earth to an inch!

In an instant, Qin Yi's figure disappeared from the spot.

Liang Qi's Star Array power struck the spot where Qin Yi had originally stood, only shattering the bluestone into dust.

His expression changed abruptly, and he reacted quite quickly, instantly grasping a talisman.

But before his talisman could be activated...

A long sword pierced through the star array light on his body, then pierced his back and through his chest!

Liang Qi groaned and looked down to see the blood-stained sword tip that had pierced his chest!

"Pathetic." Qin Yi's indifferent voice came from behind Liang Qi.

He drew his sword.

He kicked Liang Qi in the lower back.

"what!"

Liang Qi screamed and his body flew out, resembling a large "X" as he sank into a mountain peak.

A deathly silence fell over the entire room.

Qin Yi's gaze swept over the young geniuses around him, then he coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "There's something I need to clarify."

"The person you're talking about who used sweet words to deceive the granddaughter of Protector Sun of the Starry Sky Palace is named Qin An, not me."

"Qin An is already dead by my sword."

"Now, I would like to formally introduce myself to you all."

"I am Qin Yi, a disciple of the Heavenly Star Martial Academy on the Ancient Desolate Continent!"

At that moment, a voice rang out from the crowd: "Since you're not Qin An, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had explained it clearly sooner, this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened..."

Qin Yi sneered. He had indeed wanted to explain earlier, unwilling to take the blame for Qin An, but Zhu Song and Liang Qi didn't give him a chance to explain at all.

Qin Yi spoke up, saying, "Give them a beating first, then explain; the effect will be better, won't it?"

Everyone: "..."
