Chapter 501 - 501 Slashes Four Wings, Slaughtering a Sect Alone!

501 Slashes Four Wings, Slaughtering a Sect Alone!

The brown wings radiated a startling sword aura, cutting through the air with a shrill whistling sound.

Boom!

The pure white air current remained as gentle as ever, yet it was strong enough to fend off these ferocious attacks.

“What…” Ma Dongfa’s eyes narrowed. Was this guy a turtle shell?

“Who is this guy? Why is he so brazen?”

The nearby martial artists who had intended to retreat halted their steps, disbelieving the spectacle before them. From their perspective, they were powerless against Ma Dongfa, yet multiple fierce attacks failed to penetrate this man’s defenses? Moreover, the man completely disregarded him!

“This guy… He looks so familiar.”

“Now that you mention it, I think I’ve seen him before?”

Whispers spread through the crowd, then a few courageous martial artists turned back to get a better look at the man’s face. Moments later, gasps could be heard.

“It’s him! He’s the master of the Qingzhou Alliance!”

“What?”

Numerous people rapidly retreated, attempting to escape from Qin Huai. This was because the members of the Qingzhou Alliance were notorious for hunting down these ‘orthodox martial artists’ who ruthlessly killed and devoured others.

However, some people dared to get a closer look.

“It really is the master of the Qingzhou Alliance! He’s even more handsome than in his portraits…”

“He has the complexion of a noble’s pampered servant, even fairer than a lady’s.”

These spectators gazed at Qin Huai as if watching a drama unfold. The name of the alliance’s master hadn’t been heard for a long time. Most of them had never seen him in battle — it was only the elites like Le Ji’an and Fang Huo who had demonstrated their prowess.

Given Qin Huai’s appearance, nobody was particularly scared of him. More importantly, he himself seemed to have no interest in them.

“The master of the Qingzhou Alliance?” Ma Dongfa eyed Qin Huai, the fighting spirit in his eyes flaring like wildfire. “You’re a relic of the old era, so just become a stepping stone for my rise, Ma Dongfa!”

Ma Dongfa roared, and hundreds of brown feathers instantly stirred violently around him.

Boom!

Brown eagle feathers exploded out from Ma Dongfa’s body like a tornado, immediately sending earth, stones, and bones flying into the air. The blood formed serpentine streaks in the sky, adding a mesmerizing tint to the tornado.

Countless eagle feathers enveloped the battlefield. Sparks and the sound of clashing metal erupted from the heart of the conflict.

Dozens of meters away, the scattering eagle feathers instantly pierced the forehead of a bone pattern realm expert with incredible speed. The unfortunate victim, even as he teetered on the brink of collapse, maintained a look of excitement as if enjoying a spectacle. But the next second, he slumped to the ground.

Qin Huai, standing at the epicenter of the explosion, didn’t even glance at him. He merely lifted his hand slightly.

Bang!

The feathers enveloping his body instantly shattered, piercing through the bodies of hundreds of martial artists around him like arrows.

As cries of pain echoed through the mountains, countless martial artists started to sense something was amiss and fled into the distance.

“Seems like I really have to show some of my real power.” Ma Dongfa’s expression remained unfazed. “There’s nothing to fear. It’s just stepping into the visceral prefecture realm. As long as I reach that, I’ll be fine.”

Rumble…

Suddenly, four large bulges started to form on Ma Dongfa’s back, squirming like a larva breaking free from its cocoon.

Bang!

Two pairs of enormous wings sprouted from his back and waist simultaneously. The brownish-black wings made him resemble a fallen angel, radiating an ominous aura.

Qin Huai finally paused and glanced sideways at the current eldest senior brother of the Heavenly Eagle Sect.

“Why aren’t you acting high and mighty anymore? Why aren’t you ignoring me and walking on?” The smile on Ma Dongfa’s face was almost contorted. “Looks like you finally understand fear.”

Ma Dongfa spread his four wings and began to lift off the ground, looking down at Qin Huai. He was certain that as long as they were in the same realm, he would be unbeatable.

“I have extraordinary power, the spirit treasure of a four-winged eagle demon with a trace of Kun Peng bloodline, and the exceptional healing abilities provided by the blood heart technique. How can you defeat me?” He looked at Qin Huai with arrogance.

The next moment, Qin Huai’s figure appeared before him in an instant. Their gazes met, only ten inches apart. Ma Dongfa’s hair stood on end, preparing to leap away. But then, he sensed an abrupt void behind him, accompanied by a harrowing tearing sound.

Crack!

Blood splattered before his eyes. Taken by surprise, not only was Ma Dongfa left aghast, but the surrounding warriors and members of the Heavenly Eagle Sect who had been watching also found themselves stunned.

“H-How is this possible…” Ma Dongfa croaked, finding it hard to speak.

“If you had such capabilities, you should have said so earlier,” Qin Huai said, looking down at the fallen Ma Dongfa. A faint white light flickered in his eyes, and reflected on them, a pair of blood-stained wings traced a sorrowful arc in the air, painting a poignant backdrop.

“How could it be like this?” Ma Dongfa’s face turned crimson. “I fell seriously ill when I was three, my mother died from overwork when I was five, and I became an orphan at six. I grew up fighting wild dogs for food. That’s why I’ve been striving to cultivate! Pushing with all my strength!

“Do you have any idea how many times I’ve skirted death to reach this point? Do you understand the hardship I’ve endured?!” Ma Dongfa roared at Qin Huai, his voice sounding more like a plea than a question. “I cannot accept this!”

The blood and qi within his body surged, his entire form seemingly ready to rise from the ground supported by this energy. The blood around the ground crept up his body like mud, slowly forming a meter-thick, tortoise-shell-like blood wall before him.

Bang!

However, a large hand punctured the blood wall and crushed his heart.

“I’ll borrow your life for a bit,” Qin Huai’s impassive voice echoed. “If an opportunity arises to eradicate the demons and Sacred Heart Sect, I’ll erect a monument for you.”

Qin Huai slowly withdrew his blood-soaked arms. A young man who had managed to enter the visceral prefecture realm with two full patterns was indeed a prodigy. But that was all he was.

In the Qingzhou Alliance, his talent only ranked at the bottom. At present, all the rising stars in Qingzhou City had either fallen to the Sacred Heart Sect and the demons or had joined the Qingzhou Alliance.

Others, aware of the formidable adversaries they faced, sought seclusion within their respective sects. That’s why the young man before him appeared so obnoxiously arrogant.

“It’s only been a little over a year…” Qin Huai muttered.

“Ding! You have collected a [Four-Winged Eagle Demon (Fragment) x2], [Four-Winged Eagle Demon (2/4)]!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Sky Eagle True Technique Essence (Dark Red)], [Sky Eagle True Technique] experience points +666,666!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Blood Heart Technique Essence]…”

As Qin Huai felt the experience surging within his mind, he straightened his back and continued to walk toward the Heavenly Eagle Sect. It wasn’t enough, nowhere near enough.

Meanwhile, behind him, the dying Ma Dongfa looked at his hands. “How could I be so weak…”

The power of the blood heart technique activated wildly within his body, striving to save him subconsciously. However, for Ma Dongfa, whose heart had already been shattered, this was merely a delay of the inevitable.

“I want to see you die with my own eyes… No matter how strong you are, it’s hard to fight four hands with just two.”

“Eldest Senior Brother!” Many disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect surrounded him, their faces filled with despair.

“There are six visceral prefecture realm experts in the Heavenly Eagle Sect, including the sect master and the elders. Additionally, we have numerous treasured weapons, talismans, and secret techniques. Keeping the master of the Qingzhou Alliance at bay is only a matter of time and cost.”

The surrounding martial artists who had initially distanced themselves now regrouped, drawn by this intriguing turn of events.

“Young and hot-headed… I wonder what kind of feud exists between them.”

“The master of the Qingzhou Alliance is too arrogant.”

“Challenging a sect singlehandedly… Does he fancy himself as that lord from the Sacred Heart Sect?”

Everyone gleefully watched the direction of the Heavenly Eagle Sect. At the same time, some looked at Ma Dongfa with eyes filled with greed.

In fact, it wasn’t just them. The eyes of the Heavenly Eagle Sect disciples also flickered with a peculiar glint. This made the dying Ma Dongfa’s hair stand on end. He could already feel the hot breath and the greedy saliva nearby.

Boom!

Staggering rumbles echoed from the mountain.

Before long, a black-robed man, covered in blood, descended the mountain. He walked in a different direction…
