"The Yin Wind Cw?"

  Upon witnessing Liu Hong’s cw teique, Hua Gu Xiong’s face grew astonished.

  The Yin Wind bsp;was one of the basic martial arts of the demonic sects. While not rare, seeing a so-called righteous martial artist use it was truly bizarre.

  What’s more, Liu Hong’s Yin Wind Cw had reached minor mastery, and its power was formidable.

  “Enough talk! Prepare to die!”

  With a dark expression, Liu Hong lunged forward, his cws sshing like bdes, every move venomous and precise.

  Hua Gu Xiong didn’t dare sck off. He hastily unleashed a foundational demonic martial art, the Bck Fiend Fist, to ter Liu Hong head-on.

  However, they had barely exged blows before the gap in their skill became evident.

  Bloody cw marks appeared on Hua Gu Xiong’s body in an instant, painting a grim picture of the disparity betweewo.

  Seeing his advantage, Liu Hong pressed forward to deliver the finishing blow. But just as he was about to strike, a fierce gust of wind rushed toward him from the side—a fist shadow barreling straight at him.

  Without hesitating, Liu Hong swiped his cw horizontally to meet the ining attack.

  "Bang!"

  Fist and cw collided. Though Liu Hong mao repel the attacker, he felt his hand go numb, his fiingling slightly.

  "Split Stone Fist? How you use righteous martial arts?"

  Liu Hong stared in shock at the bck-masked figure, "Ren Woxing", whose Split Stone Fist had also reached minor mastery.

  “If you learn demonic martial arts, why ’t I master righteous teiques?”

  Zhao Heng, disguised as the demonic "Ren Woxing," didn’t waste time talking. He unched a relentless barrage of Split Stone Fist strikes, hammering toward Liu Hong with all his might.

  Hua Gu Xiong, unwilling to be outdone, also threw caution to the wind and joined Zhao Heng in a frenzied assault.

  Having uimated the resilience of these two, Liu Hong quickly found himself in a troublesome situation. After several fierce exges, he decided it was time to retreat.

  Shifting his footwork, Liu Hong prepared to escape.

  But his oppos weren’t about to let him go so easily. Both Zhao Heng and Hua Gu Xiong activated their own movement teiques, closely pursuing him.

  Hua Gu Xiong’s footwork, known as Bone Dissolution Steps, was agile and swift, allowing him to keep up with Liu Hong.

  Meanwhile, Zhao Heng used an enhanced version of the Bone Dissolution Steps, which was even more refined and elusive. Hua Gu Xiong noticed its simirities to his own teique but, caught up in the heat of battle, didn’t dwell on it.

  Unfortunately for Liu Hong, his prolonged battles with Hua Gu Sect over the past few days had already drained much of his energy. On top of that, Zhao Heng’s Soft Tendon Powder poison was beginning to take effect, severely promising his mobility.

  Finding himself ered, Liu Hong finally abandoned all pretense and reached for the bde at his waist.

  With a sweeping ssh, he forced both Zhao Heng and Hua Gu Xiong back a step.

  Then, without hesitation, Liu Hong bit his fiip and pressed his bloodied finger onto a groove at the base of his bde’s hilt. His grip shifted into an unusual stance.

  Before Zhao Heng’s eyes, Liu Hong’s face paled visibly at an arming rate.

  “Buzz…”

  The silver bde in Liu Hong’s hand began to tremble, emitting an eerie hum as a sinister bllow enveloped it.

  A thin line of blood extended from the hilt along the bde, f a bl that spiraled upward, with more blood lines appearing and growing.

  Witnessing this bizarre sight, Zhao He a deep sense of unease. Meanwhile, Hua Gu Xiong’s face turned pale with fear.

  “The Blood-Burning Bde Teique… How do you know the Blood Refi Sect’s secret art?”

  “What?”

  Zhao Heng was equally shocked.

  The Blood Refi Sebsp;was one of the Freat Demos, a legendary and terrifying demonic fa. What kind of secrets was Liu Hong hiding?

  “Brother Ren, aow and interrupt him! The Blood-Burning Bde Teique burns the practitioner’s own blood and vital energy to unleash immense power. It’s a secret teique of the Blood Refi Sect, capable of dealiating damage to the enemy… but at great cost to the user as well!” Hua Gu Xiong shouted urgently.

  Zhao Heng didn’t need further encement. He drew his Bck Iron Panther-Head Bde, charged forward, and swung with all his might.

  Liu Hong’s eyes fshed coldly as he raised his now blood-enshrouded bde to meet Zhao Heng’s strike.

  “g!”

  The two bdes collided, unleashing a deafening sound. The terrifying force of Liu Hong’s strike traveled down Zhao Heng’s bde, making his arm go numb.

  The webbiween his thumb and index fiore open, and his bde nearly flew out of his hand.

  Zhao Heng was sent flying, crashing into a thick tree trunk with a heavy thud. Blood oozed from the er of his mouth.

  “S!”

  The power of Liu Hong’s strikes had nearly doubled in an instant.

  As Zhao Heng struggled to recover, Hua Gu Xiong charged in, only to be struck by a horizontal ssh that sent both him and his on flying.

  With a low growl, Liu Hong advanced owo, his murderous i surging.

  “Brother Ren, don’t face him head-on! The Blood-Burning Bde Teique is powerful but drains his life force. Stall him, and he’ll burn himself out!” Hua Gu Xiong shouted as he dodged.

  Realizing the wisdom of this strategy, Zhao Heng and Hua Gu Xiong switched tactics. Instead of engaging Liu Hong directly, they used their movement teiques to evade and harass him.

  Hua Gu Xiong’s Bone Dissolution Steps made his bulky frame surprisingly nimble, while Zhao Heng’s enhanced version allowed him to move with ghost-like agility.

  Despite his overwhelming power, Liu Hong struggled to nd a decisive blow, his frustration mounting.

  As the battle dragged on, Liu Hong roared angrily, his blood boiling.

  “Enough! If you want to fight me, you’ll both die!”

  Fresh blood dripped from Liu Hong’s fiips onto his bde, f a third bl.

  With his power, speed, and ferocity skyrocketing once more, Liu Hong unleashed a devastating ssh.

  “Boom! Boom!”

  Zhao Heng and Hua Gu Xiong both flew backward, blood spraying from their mouths.

  Hua Gu Xiong scrambled to his feet, turail, and bolted. “Brother Ren, this guy is to. I’ll repay your kindness another day!”

  Zhao Heng wasn’t surprised by his retreat—demonic sect members were rarely loyal.

  But as Liu Hong charged toward him with his blood-drenched bde, Zhao Heng’s instincts told him to run as well.

  However, a thought struck him like lightning:

  Liu Hong’s identity and strength are too dangerous to leave unchecked. If I don’t kill him now, he’ll bring erouble iure.

  Though cautious by nature, Zhao Heng was no coward. When necessary, he could be recklessly bold.

  Fag Liu Hong’s ferocious charge, Zhao Hereated while scattering quicklime, creating a dense fog of white powder. Despite his boosted senses, Liu Hong was momentarily disoriented.

  Taking advantage, Zhao Heng attacked with a flurry of sshes, though Liu Hong deflected them with ease.

  As the quicklime fog thinned, Zhao Heng unched one final, desperate strike at Liu Hong’s exposed back.

  But Liu Hong suddenly spun around, his bde cutting through the air with terrifying precision.

  “g!”

  Zhao Heng’s bde was sent flying, and Liu Hong’s blood-drenched bde sshed toward Zhao Heng’s chest.

  “Die!” Liu Hong roared, his bde cutting into Zhao Heng’s shoulder.

  But just as it pierced deeper, a faint red glow emanated from Zhao Heng’s body, halting the bde’s advance.

  Though the bde didn’t kill him ht, the impact sent Zhao Heng flying like a onball, crashing to the ground with a siing thud. Blood spilled from his lips, and his vision darkened.

  As Liu Hong advao finish him, Zhao Heng coughed weakly and smiled faintly.

  “Liu Hong… it seems your death will e before mine.”

  “What?”

  Liu Hong froze, his gaze dropping to his waist, where a small, dark object protruded from his belt.

  Pulling it out, he realized it was a small, bck orb radiating a terrifying energy.

  “No!”

  Before Liu Hong could throw it away, the orb detonated with a deafening roar.

  A blinding white light engulfed the forest, turning night into day…
