Qin Taiming hadn't felt so powerless in a long time, and his face was extremely pale, especially considering Qin Xiuyang's fighting style, which was like teasing a cat or dog.
"Come out, let's have a fair and square duel."
"Upright and honorable? Master, doesn't it sound awkward coming from your mouth?"
"Qin Xiuyang, I never imagined you would become so despicable. Is this how I taught you back then?"
"What did you teach me? Wasn't it just to warn me every day not to tarnish your reputation? Look how well I've done, I've even surpassed you."
"It's nothing but a dark and treacherous scheme. Are you proud of it?"
"Of course I'm proud! Why shouldn't I be proud? I reached the Tribulation Transcending stage even faster than you did back then, Master!"
"You will never ascend."
"Who said that?" Qin Xiuyang pointed to the fierce battle between the human and demon races. "Look, they are fighting so hard that it's all thanks to me. Once you've exhausted your strength, the entire continent will be mine. At that time, I will turn all the creatures on this continent into demons. Then I will be the Demon King, and the fortune of the entire continent will help me ascend to immortality with ease."
The old tree said weakly, "Qin Taiming, you heard it all. This is his goal. If we don't join forces now, we're all doomed."
“He won’t join forces with you,” Qin Xiuyang said with certainty. “He doesn’t care about the lives of those people.”
"Qin Taiming!" The old tree of Qingyang felt a deep sense of powerlessness. How could a dignified Sword Master be so selfish!
Qin Xiuyang smiled again: "Besides, even if he were to give orders now, those sects and forces wouldn't listen to him."
The battlefield grew increasingly brutal. Qin Xiuyang attacked Qin Taiming once more, and their battle affected the severely injured Qingyang Old Tree, severing countless of its roots.
Meanwhile, in the mortal realm, Song Xia and Song Luo returned from another world and immediately sensed something was wrong.
"The smell of blood is so strong."
What happened to Qingyang City?
"Bai Xiao and Uncle Qing sent me messages." Upon hearing this, Song Xia's expression changed drastically.
"Let's go back to Sunset Forest first."
As Song Luo hurried along, he looked up at the sky and said, "The tribulation is coming. It'll be a good opportunity for those people to experience the taste of tribulation."
"Please don't let anything happen, please don't let anything happen!" Song Xia's heart was pounding. The first lightning bolt struck her directly, but she didn't do anything to defend herself. She was only thinking about the demons in Sunset Forest.
Song Luo's face contorted with rage: "It's Qin Taiming again. He really doesn't do anything right."
Song Xia was also filled with murderous intent, determined to make Qin Taiming pay the price this time!
At this time, the casualties in Sunset Forest had exceeded half. Eagle King was still suffering from the hidden injuries he had sustained in the previous sneak attack. In order to prevent the humans from obtaining the demon core, he directly self-destructed.
The second to self-destruct was Xiong Ba. He was fierce and stubborn. Before self-destructing, he tightly hugged two human experts of the same level, pulling them down with him.
Two petals of the still-fighting Tyrant Flower were lost, the horn on the Black Dragon's head was broken off, only a few worker ants remained guarding the Queen Ant, the Butterfly King's beautiful wings became dull, the Wolf King was covered in bloodstains, and Bai Xiao's once beautiful fur had lost its luster.
But they did not give up and continued to fight. If they gave up, what would happen to all the little cubs in the forest?
Similarly, things weren't going well for the human race either; some sects were even wiped out.
Their faces now only showed killing intent; at this point, there was no way they could back down.
Those who died were all relatives and friends, all loved ones. If before it was for resources, now it's for revenge.
Moreover, only by winning can one recover better; if one loses, there is no hope of survival.
When Song Xia and Song Luo arrived, this was the horrific scene they witnessed.
Both of them had bloodshot eyes as they saw a sharp sword piercing towards the already weakened wolf king. Song Luo swooped down and directly killed the humans in front of and behind the wolf king.
"Song Luo?"
Song Luo choked up and said, "Uncle Jun, I'm sorry, I'm late."
The wolf king simply smiled and said, "It's good that you've come."
Bai Xiao roared, "Go! Go save Uncle Qing!"
"Okay, you guys wait for me."
His immense strength greatly excited the demon race. As he flew over the human race, the lightning tribulation wiped out a wave of them.
"Haha, you're finished." The Queen of Flowers said with her broken mouth. She was already exhausted, but now she felt that she could hold on a little longer.
Meanwhile, the human race was in a state of panic. How did two late-stage Mahayana cultivators suddenly appear as helpers for the demon race? Where did they come from?
Looking at the few remaining high-level cultivators on his side, he began to feel discouraged.
The high-level cultivators were also terrified. After fighting for so long, they were no match for the two newly arrived demons.
"Father, did you see that clearly? That's Qin Chi." Xiang Chengyuan was horrified. How could this bastard have improved so quickly!
"I see it clearly." Xiang Hengguang looked at the situation and whispered, "Let's go."
"But……"
Do you want to die?
"Your children will obey you." So the two ignored the others from the Tianyuan Sect and tried to sneak away and leave the battle.
But the current situation means they can no longer simply leave if they want to.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy." The Butterfly King sneered, then used poison powder to subdue the father and son.
Upon hearing this sound, and seeing that even the Tianyuan Sect was considering retreating, the humans lost all will to continue fighting.
How can we fight like this? Are we just going to throw our lives away?
The first to retreat were the independent cultivators. They were not bound by any sect or authority, so they could retreat immediately if they wanted to.
Although the number of people retreating was small, it affected the morale of both sides in the battle. The demons fought more and more fiercely, while the humans were afraid of losing their lives like their other kin. They thought, "Where there's life, there's hope. Why be so foolish?"
