#109 - The...breath of an immortal!

“Bang!”

Qin Buyi was sent flying once again, crashing to the ground.

Jinwu, looking as if he were taking a leisurely stroll, approached Qin Buyi, who was desperately using the Killing Blade to prop himself up.

Spreading his wings, he prepared to send Qin Buyi flying once more.

Suddenly, Qin Buyi felt a surge of warmth from the Killing Blade in his hand.

The Killing Blade felt as if it were connected to his very blood, and at this moment, he truly reached the state of being one with the blade.

Scarlet pupils reflected the increasingly clear image of the Red Lotus, who walked barefoot from the depths of the blood sea...

Qin Buyi heard the Red Lotus's cold but slightly gentle voice in his ear: "Give me control of your body, or we will both die."

Qin Buyi relinquished control of his body, and the Red Lotus instantly took control.

Just then, Jinwu's attack was only one centimeter away from Qin Buyi's body.

“Clang!”

“Qin Buyi” revealed a cruel and cold smile at the corner of his mouth, gripping the Killing Blade and slashing at Jinwu's attacking wings.

“Chirp!”

The Killing Blade struck Jinwu's wings, severing them without any resistance.

“Chirp~!”

With one wing severed, Jinwu let out a horrible screech.

“Qin Buyi” reached out his left hand and grabbed Jinwu's throat.

The screech came to an abrupt halt.

“What's going on in the arena?”

“Wasn't the challenger Qin Buyi about to be beaten to death?”

“How could he possibly have the strength to fight back? Can someone explain what's going on?”

“I guess this must be a final burst of energy before death. It's said that people have such a phase before they die.”

“Is your 'final burst of energy' this strong? Look at the aura around him, it's clearly different from before!”...

After handing over control of his body to the Red Lotus, “Qin Buyi’s” entire external appearance underwent earth-shattering changes.

Substantial red killing intent surged from every part of his body, covering Qin Buyi's injured areas.

The most severely injured area was his heart, with nearly half of it torn away by Jinwu during the battle.

The red killing intent enveloped the heart area, preventing the injury from worsening.

The two blood holes in his chest that pierced through his body were also sealed by the red killing intent.

The abdomen, where the intestines could be vaguely seen, was covered by the red killing intent.

It was as if a red armor was wrapped around the outside, completely concealing the abdominal injuries.

The injured areas stopped bleeding, and almost in the blink of an eye, the injuries on Qin Buyi's body were dealt with by the red killing intent.

The changes in “Qin Buyi” on the arena were truly unexpected and surprising.

Looking at the changes in his opponent, Lie Huo, who had always had a composed smile on his lips, lost his smile.

His eyes showed fear, as if he had seen something shocking and appalling.

Wang Chengfeng, who had been watching with great interest from the stands, widened his eyes after “Qin Buyi” changed.

His mouth uttered in alarm: "Impossible... This is impossible."

Ying Ye's expression wasn't as exaggerated, he only assumed that Qin Buyi was using a secret technique to temporarily enhance and unleash his power.

Ying Ye asked Wang Chengfeng: "Dean Wang, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Chengfeng ignored Ying Ye, his eyes glazed over, muttering: "Impossible... This is impossible!"

Ying Ye, hearing Wang Chengfeng repeating these words over and over, grew impatient and raised his voice:

"Dean Wang, what is it? What has made you so distraught?"

Wang Chengfeng finally reacted, a trace of fear in his eyes, swallowing hard, his voice dry:

"Your Highness, from him... from Qin Buyi, I sensed a trace of immortal aura."

Ying Ye's face instantly became interesting upon hearing this.

He knew very well what the aura of an immortal meant.

That was an existence that could obliterate the entire Great Ming Dynasty with a single thought, and it could not be treated carelessly.

After a long while, Ying Ye cautiously said: "Dean Wang, are you sure that what's on Qin Buyi is the aura of an immortal?"

Wang Chengfeng nodded with difficulty: "When I broke through to the Mahayana stage, I traveled abroad and happened to encounter two immortals fighting, and the aftermath of the battle alone left me seriously injured."

"I am very sure that what appeared on Qin Buyi is indeed the aura of an immortal."

Ying Ye frowned and said: "This is troublesome!"

It was really troublesome. Wang Chengfeng had instructed Lie Huo to toy with Qin Buyi.

He wanted to kill him in a torturous way to make him die in pain.

He didn't expect that the other party's background would be so terrifying, with an immortal standing behind him.

This time, Ying Ye felt that he had kicked a steel plate.

The two sides had already formed a deadly feud, and if handled carelessly.

The Great Ming Dynasty would be completely wiped out in the Heavenly Desolate Realm.

At the very least, he, the First Prince...

Ying Ye didn't dare to think any further, he couldn't bear any of the consequences.

Ying Ye looked at Wang Chengfeng with some resentment: "If we had killed him directly just now, there wouldn't have been so many changes."

Wang Chengfeng felt uncomfortable under Ying Ye's gaze, his voice dry:

"I didn't expect this kid to have such a deep background..."

Ying Ye snorted coldly: "Hmph, how can someone with great supernatural powers be underestimated? Didn't you say earlier that Qin Buyi's inheritance was obtained by chance?"

"How do you explain this now?"

Wang Chengfeng's face was almost turning liver-colored, and he cursed Ying Ye from his ancestors to the present in his heart, thinking:

"Isn't everything I've done for you to win the throne? Now it's all my fault."

"You didn't object when I said to kill Qin Buyi, but now that there's a problem, you're pushing all the responsibility onto me."

Although he cursed Ying Ye in his heart, he still had to squeeze out a smile on his face:

"Who would have thought that someone with such a deep background could be easily recruited by the Third Prince."

"In my opinion, the situation is not that bad, if it really doesn't work, we'll just abandon the pawn to protect the chariot."

"We'll push all the responsibility onto Lie Huo. Qin Buyi has already killed two of our senior instructors before."

"At that time, we'll say that Lie Huo held a grudge, so he deliberately tortured and killed him."

Ying Ye took a deep look at Wang Chengfeng and said: "That's the only way."

At the same time, he thought to himself: "Hmph, if Lie Huo can't withstand the anger of the immortal, don't blame this prince for sacrificing you, and putting on a show of abandoning the pawn to protect the chariot."

Wang Chengfeng felt a chill in his heart. As a thousand-year-old fox, how could he not know what Ying Ye was thinking?

But he had no better way at this time. He had instructed the torture and killing of Qin Buyi, so he could only bite the bullet and endure it.

At the same time.

Ying Zhi had already closed his eyes and no longer looked at the arena because he couldn't bear it.

At this time, Nan Tianlong called him from behind: "Young Master, Young Master, look at the arena."

Ying Zhi then opened his eyes and asked: "What happened?"

Nan Tianlong briefly explained what had happened in the arena earlier.

Ying Zhi's somewhat dim eyes suddenly filled with brilliance, and he looked towards the arena.

In the arena, Lie Huo didn't know that he had become a sacrificial pawn.

He was looking at "Qin Buyi", who had been covered in red killing intent and had not moved since, with a solemn expression.
