I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

Within the Blood River Formation.

The once dazzling Nine Suns Radiant Sky Array has become dim and lifeless. The surrounding blood energy is surging, and a sea of ​​blood is churning below. Every wave that crashes against the array wall consumes a certain amount of energy.

Within the Blood River Formation, which is extremely Yin and evil, the Nine Yang Radiant Sky Formation, which possesses pure Yang attributes, is being continuously weakened and dissolved.

Furthermore, the tens of thousands of blood puppets controlled by the Blood River cultivators continued to attack the Nine Suns Shining Sky Formation, and the resulting shockwaves directly killed the weaker Tianyuan cultivators within the formation.

"Junior sister, hang in there!"

A male cultivator caught his limp junior sister in his arms. Her mouth was full of blood, which stained her clothes red.

The junior sister lay helplessly in the male cultivator's arms, her eyes filled with despair.

"Senior brother, after I die, burn my body. I don't want to become one of those blood puppet armies, and I don't want to become a sex puppet for others to vent their desires just because I have some looks."

"Don't fall asleep! Hold on! Qin Feng is still number one on the kill list. I just saw his score jumping, so he must have already arrived on the battlefield. We'll be saved soon!" The male cultivator maintained the Nine Suns Illuminating Sky Formation with one hand and shook the female cultivator with the other.

However, the female cultivator's spiritual energy was exhausted, her life essence was burned, and her internal organs and heart meridians were damaged, leaving her at her wit's end.

"Senior brother, live well, and fight for the happiness of more loving couples like us, so that we can live together!"

After saying that, her arms loosened, her body went limp, and she breathed her last. In the male cultivator's arms, she gradually stopped breathing and her heart stopped beating.

The male cultivator's eyes widened in fury, and his eyes reddened: "Junior Sister!!!"

He was still waiting to see the dazzling world outside with his junior sister, so why did he abandon himself here?

The male cultivator bit his gums until they bled, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He carried his junior sister's body to the edge of the Nine Suns Illuminating Sky Formation, placed his other hand on the formation wall, and recklessly channeled his spiritual power, igniting his life essence and pouring it all into the formation wall.

His body gradually weakened, his skin became dry and withered, and his long, black hair turned white.

"Junior sister, don't leave me behind."

He withdrew his hand, held his junior sister tightly as she grew cold, and whispered in her ear.

next moment--

"Tch~"

The male cultivator's body burst into flames, engulfing the two of them.

Cultivators fear death more than mortals, but he fears even more this cold, empty world without his junior sister.

The flames burned ever brighter, and the outlines of the two figures gradually blurred in the fire, their bodies intertwined, each one part of the other, never to be separated again...

For a selfish person, this is foolish.

However, this move at least buys the others in the Nine Suns Shining Sky Formation more time to wait for the Heavenly Gang Demon-Slaying Camp to arrive.

Such phenomena occurred one after another within the Nine Suns Shining Sky Formation.

They were filled with passion, but in this atmosphere of despair, their enthusiasm gradually cooled, and despair spread.

The fifth-grade array master had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and he was barely holding on after taking a forbidden pill.

He was a trial participant, and had no affiliation with the Void Realm.

However, as a righteous cultivator, he witnessed too many hellish scenes on earth caused by evil spirits.

He didn't want those scenes to happen because of his inaction, so even though he knew the trip was fraught with danger, he still rushed in without hesitation.

Otherwise, if the Blood River Formation were to collide with the Barrier Formation, it would corrode the formation walls. In that case, not only would it be impossible to transfer mortals, but many of the retreating Tianyuan cultivators would also perish in the pursuit.

"Click~ Click~"

Cracks suddenly appeared on the walls of the Nine Suns Illuminating the Sky Formation, which was on the verge of collapse.

"Get ready! The banquet is about to begin!" Blood Glutton's voice rang out, and the attack intensity of the Blood River Dao cultivators further increased.

"Aren't you feeling hopeless? I will make good use of your corpses, from your blood to your souls, nothing will be wasted!"

Once the snowball of the Blood River Formation starts rolling, even if Qin Feng isn't dead and leads the Heavenly Gang Demon-Slaying Camp in, I can make sure they never return!

"At that time, my ranking will soar to new heights. So what if there are Qianyang Saint Son and Mu Zangfeng? I will control the entire Slaughter Void Realm!"

Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly.

After a moment, his tone turned serious:

"So you've finally come! It's a pity that if I could digest you all, my chances of winning would be even greater."

Then, he let out a cold laugh:

"At most, we only have three thousand sword cultivators. Inside the Blood River Formation, there are tens of thousands of my fellow cultivators from the Blood River Sect, plus fifty thousand blood puppets. Even if we just wear you down, we can wear you down to death!"

The ever-expanding Blood River Formation also fueled his growing confidence.

"All Blood River Dao cultivators, listen to my command—scatter and use the Blood Sea and Blood Puppets to wear them down. Do not engage in direct confrontation. They cannot accurately locate us in the Blood River, let alone escape!"

If they overexert themselves, they will become nourishment for the river of blood, just like these prey!

The reduction in attacks landing on the Nine Suns Shining Sky Formation allowed the Tianyuan cultivators within the formation to breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards—

"Clang!"

The sword's cry echoed within the Blood River Formation.

"It's Qin Feng! He's led the Heavenly Gang Demon-Slaying Camp to rescue us!"

"They may not be here to rescue people; they only attack and don't defend, they are purely a sharp sword on the battlefield."

"This Blood River Formation is so terrifying. Of our tens of thousands of elite troops, only seven thousand remain. Their sword cultivators cannot lock onto their targets within the Blood River. Even if their swordsmanship is superb, they are likely in grave danger!"

"Yes, we have to do something!"

But they soon realized that their worries were unnecessary.

Because the sword's cry was accompanied by the sound of flesh and blood exploding, which rang out continuously from all directions of the Blood River Formation.

Then came the roar of the Blood Glutton:

"Impossible! The Blood River shields all senses. Even if you're a Nascent Soul cultivator, your divine sense couldn't possibly extend beyond a thousand meters. How could you possibly pinpoint our location so precisely!"

Li Yang certainly didn't rely on divine sense, nor on sight.

He closed his eyes, relying purely on intuition to sense the killing intent within the river of blood.

Li Yang locked onto their location and manipulated the Myriad Swords Returning to One Formation to continuously generate sharp sword energy for precise kills.

"Die!" Blood Glutton roared.

Blood mist surged, blood sea boiled, and a towering blood hand condensed.

Gathering the power of the Blood River, it was tens of thousands of feet in size, blotting out the sky and making the already dark Blood River even more gloomy and terrifying.

The blood-red palm slammed down, each area containing immense power, enough to shatter entire mountain ranges and continents.

Li Yang didn't dodge at all.

Because at this moment, he locked onto the immense killing intent of the Blood Gluttonous that was directed at him, which was extremely obvious among the many Dao Blood River Dao cultivators.

Right on the Blood Palm!

Li Yang raised his hand and gripped the Phoenix Sword tightly.

After he and Ning Xi began their dual cultivation, he no longer needed her help to use the Phoenix Sword.

But his other hand still held Ning Xi's delicate, boneless hand tightly. Their relationship seemed normal, but holding hands became extremely natural.

An experienced person could immediately tell that the two must have developed a more intimate relationship, otherwise they wouldn't have acted so casually.

"Zheng!!"

Within the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One Formation, all sword cultivators swung their swords at the same time as Li Yang, while the inner sword cultivators had sword pellets above their heads that split into sword lights.

Under the unified formation, the sword energy and sword light, led by Li Yang's sword intent, condensed into a crimson slash powerful enough to split the heavens.

It contains the sword intent and killing intent of three thousand sword cultivators, and an extremely dangerous baleful aura further enhances the power of this Heaven-Opening Sword Qi.

The Heaven-Opening Sword Qi did not defeat Blood Hand. After all, the number of three thousand sword cultivators was far too small compared to the tens of thousands of Blood River Dao cultivators. It was a gap that Li Yang alone could not bridge.

But the Heaven-Opening Sword Qi was too sharp and unstoppable, directly cleaving the Blood Hand in two!

The bloody hand continued to press down, but a gap appeared in the middle of the bloody hand that had been cut in half. The Myriad Swords Return to the Origin Formation remained motionless, allowing the bloody palm to strike down from its side.

The lingering power of that heaven-opening sword energy was still terrifying, locking onto the figure hidden in the blood mist.

"Damn it! Holy Son Qianyang didn't even tell me you obtained that supreme treasure of the killing path—ah!!"

The Blood Glutton let out a mournful howl, its voice appearing from another direction.

"Qin Feng! I'll remember you. You can't be so smug forever!"

Half of his body was gone, and the wound was corroded by murderous intent and evil energy, which even he, a peerless master of the Blood River Sect, could not heal.

"He'll always be smug!"

A chilling voice came from behind Xue Tao.

Two blood-red swords were held against his neck.

"It's you! Tu Jiuzhou?! You actually cooperated with him!" Xue Tao's eyes were bloodshot, and he tried to turn into a blood mist and escape.

But with swift and domineering swings of the twin swords, his head was severed.

"Cooperation? Not really, we're just like-minded people with similar ideals."

With the death of Xue Tao, the leader of the Blood River Sect, the collapse of the army was like a landslide.

The Nine Suns Illuminating Sky Formation was activated at full power, bursting forth with boundless golden light, illuminating the Blood River cultivators and Blood Puppets, further accelerating the killing efficiency of the Heavenly Gang Demon-Slaying Camp.

In just a quarter of an hour, the blood mist that had swept across the land dissipated, and the thousands of surviving Blood River cultivators scattered in terror.

Before Li Yang could lead the Heavenly Gang Demon-Slaying Camp into the battlefield, Mu Zangfeng appeared, holding a colorful pearl.

"That's—a miniature world of the Five Elements! What's he going to do?!"

Mu Zangfeng arrived alone ten thousand feet outside the Tiangang Demon-Slaying Camp, activated his small world, and displayed the scene inside.

Inside, countless mortals, regardless of age or gender, were imprisoned, enduring various forms of torture and punishment, resembling a scene from purgatory.

One scene depicts ordinary people huddled together, with a mother who has just given birth and is still bleeding, numbly cooking a pot of meat soup to share with her parents-in-law and husband.

And that's still considered good.

Another scene depicts a vicious demon devouring people, turning them into a mountain of bones, with blood and hair smeared together. The survivors numbly cut off their limbs and put them into the demon's mouth, hoping to at least survive.

"Qin Feng, it's unrealistic to expect you to give up killing with this." Mu Zangfeng smiled. "Hundreds of millions of mortals from the Nine Nether Dynasty are imprisoned here. If you agree to abandon the sword formation and come with me to fight to the death deep within the Nine Nether Dynasty, I will swear on my Dao heart to release them."
