My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

519 Kill the Clan Leader

“It’s a rare seed that only emerges once every ten thousand years within our Kun Peng clan,” Huo Huan mused, “No wonder the sect master didn’t seem overly upset when that Xinglong died. That child was merely a sacrificial pawn pushed to the forefront.” He sneered, “The sect master has concealed this well.”

Boom!

A strong wind roared in Huo Huan’s ears, and in a blink of an eye, Qin Huai materialized before him. Not tolerating Huo Huan’s constant chatter, Qin Huai was unwilling to provide any opportunity for his opponent.

He knew that time was against him. If reinforcements were to arrive, assassinating Huo Huan would become a much harder task.

In the blink of an eye, the gap between them was reduced to a fist’s distance. Terrifying murderous intent rose from each of their bodies.

Qin Huai’s eyes glowed brighter as his black hair transformed to pure white. A brilliant power poured out from his body and wings. He threw a punch and Huo Huan’s face instantly paled.

Bang!

Before he could respond, Qin Huai’s wide Kun Peng wings, as sharp as the world’s finest guillotine, slashed down. A cold, sharp light flashed in Huo Huan’s pupils as blood splattered, blurring his vision. Reacting instinctively, Huo Huan retreated from Qin Huai.

Gasping heavily, he looked at his hands in disbelief. “How can he be so quick? Why is he so fierce?”

He examined his damaged wings, noticing a shocking crack caused by Qin Huai’s wings. He touched his cheek, feeling a bleeding wound. However, Qin Huai’s ‘blade’ was so swift that Huo Huan hadn’t felt any pain. The source of this ᴄontent is novelenglish.net . ꜰire

What truly astounded Huo Huan was the trembling fear he sensed from the depth of Qin Huai’s soul. This originated from his bloodline, a primal dread evoked by pure bloodlines.

“More than ten thousand years ago, our demon race chose to evolve to dismantle and control the human race,” Huo Huan reflected, “We willingly adopted a human form to explore their secrets and cultivation potential, allowing us to ascend from mere mortals to the strongest among us in a matter of decades or centuries.

“The price we paid was the weakening and degeneration of our bloodline power. We succeeded, acquiring not only the human race’s cultivation talent, but we also divided them, treating them as food and livestock to be slaughtered and toyed with.

“However, at the same time, we desperately sought ways to preserve our bloodline power. For thousands of years, we struggled down this path.”

Huo Huan lifted his head and gazed at Qin Huai. “Now, it appears the sect master has indeed nurtured an entity that transcends the era. I understand, I truly understand.”

He became increasingly agitated. “The five clan leaders are mere stepping stones for you to ascend as the sect master. All the rats were merely bait to draw us out. Your plan is truly commendable.”

Qin Huai watched Huo Huan’s ramblings with disinterest. In a way, his opponent had guessed correctly. Qin Huai did desire to eliminate them all.

He hadn’t anticipated the acquisition of the Kun Peng seed. It was possibly the purest bloodline of the Kun Peng clan. Against the Kun Peng demons, there was an innate suppression emanating from the power of the bloodline. This meant Qin Huai, who had invoked the Kun Peng seed, was far superior to the demons from the Kun Peng clan.

“How can I let you get what you want?!” Huo Huan roared suddenly.

Above the sea of blood, a rain of flames descended from the heavens. The sky filled with fiery arrows that pierced through the clouds and mist, aiming straight for Qin Huai’s head.

Raising his gaze, Qin Huai looked at the flames formed by wind-wrapped feathers. His expression was unfazed. It was a technique similar to that of the central clan Leader, albeit this leader was clearly more adept in offensive methods.

“Flaming sun, heavenly feathery Peng!” Huo Huan roared. The fiery feathers blanketing the sky instantly morphed into a Kun Peng.

The dense flames, in an instant, obscured the sky. The air was filled with flaming rocs, leaving no space for movement.

“You have no choice but to face my attack or plunge into the sea of blood,” Huo Huan declared, a prideful look on his face as he offered a ‘considerate’ reminder. “What are you going to do now?”

Boom!

Without hesitation, Qin Huai’s wings flapped, propelling him toward the fire illusion. The ten-meter-long purebred Kun Peng soared through the air. The flaming rocs aiming for Qin Huai’s body couldn’t harm him.

On close inspection, it seemed that the moment these giant flaming rocs made contact with Qin Huai, they trembled as if alive, their potency unintentionally weakening. It was as if Qin Huai had opened the black dragon realm.

His Kun Peng wings provided impressive defense, ensuring he didn’t sustain much damage as he navigated the flaming sea. Any minor injuries were quickly healed by Qin Huai’s formidable blood heart technique.

Boom!

Qin Huai passed through the sea of fire in an instant, invoking the dragon emperor. Dragon bones wrapped around him under his skin, crowning him with an astonishing power.

Qin Huai’s eyes radiated an indifferent white light as he gazed at the nearby fire illusion. His wings, sharp as the world’s deadliest weapons, descended on Huo Huan, accompanied by an intense white light. The icy slash left a long afterimage in the air.

Accompanied by blood and explosions, Huo Huan’s shock transformed into a ferocious smile. “I got you!” he roared, grabbing Qin Huai’s wings.

However, his sturdy body was slashed by Qin Huai’s wings, blood spouting from the wounds. Even his shoulders had been cut several inches deep. If the fire illusion had been a fraction slower, it’s likely he wouldn’t have been able to grab Qin Huai’s wings and would have instead lost his arms. Yet, Huo Huan paid it no mind, his focus entirely on Qin Huai.

“Do you think that the battle-hardened me will be distracted by such a thing?” Huo Huan’s face was grim.

Hundreds of fire feathers condensed into a ball in front of his chest, the terrifying flames accumulating without dispersing, the intense heat distorting the surrounding air.

“The moment I realized the difference between our bloodlines, I decided to pay a price. I will kill you in one strike! I won’t give you any chance! Arrogance… It will always be the cause of death for you talented people!” Huo Huan roared. “Go to hell! You and the painstaking efforts of the sect master!”

With these words, he unleashed a fireball that was as big as a person and instantly spewed terrifying flames that engulfed Qin Huai’s entire body, which began to melt upon contact with the flames.

His white hair evaporated in the blink of an eye, dissipating into the air. Only the edges of his body and the pair of wings that the fire illusion tightly gripped remained, emitting a charred smell.

“Haha… Hahahaha!” Huo Huan roared in triumph.

Bang!

Suddenly, he grunted, his eyes filled with confusion. He slowly looked down at the hand buried deep in his heart.

“I also respect you,” a familiar voice rang in his ears. The next moment, the wings in Huo Huan’s hand shattered into green fragments, disappearing with the wind.
