Qin Long!!

It was the patriarch of the Qin back in Sparrow City, Qin Long!!

Bai Yunfei only knew of the fallout of his battle with the Qin after he returned to the soul cultivator world and thought everyone of any importance in the Qin was dead. He just never expected to see Qin Long here today, and in…such a way.

It was only for a moment, but Bai Yunfei saw his face. He couldn’t see anything close to resembling ‘rationality’ in those eyes. He was more like a rabid beast than a sensible human.

Bai Yunfei also remembered Qin Long being a wood-type soul cultivator. How was he a wood and darkness type soul cultivator now?

More importantly…Qin Long had only been a Late-stage Soul King when they last met. How was he a Mid-stage Soul Emperor?!

“He’s sworn allegiance to the Soul Refining School? I see…did they use some kind of technique on him then? Power in exchange for sanity? What a frightful amount of power!”

It was a good guess, but the price Qin Long paid was actually a lot more than just his sanity. Now known as Feng Mo, the man gave away his sanity, rationality, and even lifespan to attain even more power…

It was all for the sake of a grudge. A grudge so deep that it was imbedded in the bones just like Zhang Zhenshan or even Lin Dongxiao…

……

“Roar!!”

Another bestial roar erupted from Qin Long’s mouth as he glared at the most hated person in his life. Even though he lost his mind, Qin Long was still fully capable of recognizing Bai Yunfei. He could sense him by his aura and wanted nothing more than to tear him to pieces!

“Whoosh!!”

Like a leopard, Qin Long pounced at Bai Yunfei to simply try and rend him limb from limb with nothing but his own physical strength.

It happened a little too fast for Bai Yunfei. He only saw a blur as Qin Long reached for his heart with claw-like hands!

He wasn’t too afraid, though. The armor he wore would be enough to protect him. So while his enemy was attacking his chest, Bai Yunfei lashed out with a left punch onto Qin Long’s face!

“Bang! Bang!!”

Once again, Bai Yunfei was shocked to see Qin Long ignore his attack again. So when Bai Yunfei’s fist struck Qin Long in the face, Qin Long’s attack struck Bai Yunfei in the chest!

But Bai Yunfei was the one who came out on top in that exchange.

Qin Long’s attack didn’t manage to break through Bai Yunfei’s armor, but it did manage to create enough concussive force to send Bai Yunfei back a bit. However, it did little to harm Bai Yunfei.

Qin Long, on the other hand, had his head knocked back so far it was nearly ripped off his shoulders and was lit up in flames. Though the dark-green light managed to extinguish the flames, it didn’t do much to stop the flames from spreading to his robes and burning it to a crisp. Not even his hair was spared from the flames. Only his flesh was saved from the flames thanks to his soulforce.

But his face was caved in in some places. There was definitely more than a few bones broken. A heavy wound like this would’ve been hard for anyone to heal, a Soul Emperor was no exception.

But then Bai Yunfei watched in awe as…

The wounds on Qin Long’s face began to knit together. The bone fragments in his skull were fusing back together!

It’d take Bai Yunfei some time to recover from any wound like that, and that was after taking into account his soul armaments! But Qin Long was doing it in no time at all!

He stood back up on his feet as if nothing was wrong. Like a mad beast, he leaped at Bai Yunfei again!

“Tch!!’ Clicking his tongue, Bai Yunfei gathered his soulforce to him. “Freeze!!”

“Bzz…”

The Soul Anchor Technique activated at the same time the Interdimensional Phantasm began to spread itself to swallow up Qin Long and take him into itself.

“Retreat!!”

It was at that moment when Bai Yunfei heard Lu Suxing call out a warning for everyone to retreat. To his surprise, Bai Yunfei watched as Mo Ni and the others abandon their attack—while Qin Long continued to advance—and retreated!

Everything happened so fast—Qin Long attacking, Bai Yunfei using the Soul Anchor Technique, the Interdimensional Phantasm acting up, Mo Ni retreating…

The Interdimensional Phantasm had already spread itself as far as it could, but Bai Yunfei was disappointed to see Mo Ni and Lu Suxing manage to evade it!

“Don’t they care if Qin Long dies or not?!”

Qin Long was taken into the Interdimensional Phantasm along with Li Chengfeng and Xiao Binzi, but no one else. That meant the enemy was clearly aware and prepared against the Interdimensional Phantasm. But more importantly, this also meant they were ready to send Qin Long to his death in his fight against Bai Yunfei!

“Whoosh!!”

Now in the Phantasm, Bai Yunfei watched as Qin Long rapidly approached him!

Bai Yunfei’s Soul Anchor Technique didn’t do a thing to him!

A mass of dark-green light pooled around Qin Long’s right arm. Jettisoning out from his arm to form a blade, Qin Long then used it to stab at Bai Yunfei’s throat!

Having been so astonished at his own attack failing, Bai Yunfei watched with wide-open eyes as the sword drew ever closer to his person!

“Whoosh!”

The sharp blade shot toward Bai Yunfei’s throat and closed in to slice into it!

“Yunfei!!”

Li Chengfeng and Xiao Binzi both shouted, but they were both alarmed to see Bai Yunfei in danger. But as the sword ‘sliced’ across Bai Yunfei’s throat, they watched as it went ‘through’ him as if he was an illusion.

—Bai Yunfei was forced to use the Core Stone’s ability straight off the bat!

“Chirp!!”

Simultaneously, Xiao Qi let out a loud chirp of anger before littering the entire field around Qin Long with spatial tears!

Not even Qin Long could look at his current situation without being unphased. A wave of dark-green light exploded out from his person once again to strike out at the spatial tears.

“Boom boom boom boom!!”

Countless explosions filled the air as the Laws fought against the spatial tears. Not even the spatial tears were strong enough to plow through the Laws.

But they were just a diversionary tactic. Xiao Qi’s true goal was to use the spatial tears as a visual smoke screen to get close and then come down for the kill onto Qin Long’s head with his claws!

That was the reason why Xiao Qi had yet to transform to a larger size. It was more convenient for him to remain at a decent size to crush his head.

The teamwork between Bai Yunfei and Xiao Qi was flawless. Since Bai Yunfei was in another dimension, Xiao Qi could attack relentlessly without fear of harming Bai Yunfei. In fact, Xiao Qi was currently on a trajectory that’d go through Bai Yunfei’s silhouette to strike at Qin Long!

But Qin Long wasn’t brain dead. His sanity was gone, but not his sense for battle. He managed to shift his head out of the way just enough so the talons would land on his chest instead!

“Pcht!!”

The left talon lit up as the +10 additional effect activated. An extra boost in attack power was granted to the talon and sent Qin Long flying with several hole in his chest!

This was a wound that crippled parts of his organs! Not even a Soul Emperor could recover from a fatal blow like this!

Two seconds later and Bai Yunfei was back in ‘reality’. He looked a little stunned—was it over? Just like that?

But Qin Long came to an abrupt halt two-hundred meters away. When Qin Long stood up, Bai Yunfei gaped in confusion at him!

He could see…the fatal wounds on Qin Long’s body begin to knit together so…he was back to normal!

The clothes Qin Long wore were ripped to shreds by Xiao Qi’s attack. Now free from the fabric, his flesh could be shown in its pristine state of health—not a single mark was on it!

“Impossible!!”

Bai Yunfei exclaimed in shock—did Qin Long have an immortal body or something?!
