Chapter 69
Chapter 69: The Demoness.
The guards all stood up eerily, their eyes, like Xiong Yu’s, filled with crimson demonic evil, as if they were all being controlled.
The killing intent emanating from their eyes at that moment was even more terrifying than that of wild beasts.
These guards, controlled by Princess Yashu, actually surrounded the uncontrolled guards, subtly intending to kill everyone within the encirclement.
Just then, Princess Yashu approached Qin Yefeng.
She chuckled charmingly at Qin Yefeng, “Qin Yefeng, I have a question. Why weren’t you controlled after drinking the Blood Wine? What methods did you use?”
Princess Yashu stared at Qin Yefeng, hoping to learn from him why her charm had failed to affect him.
“You saw me drink the Blood Wine, but did I truly drink it?” Qin Yefeng asked in return, his gaze fixed gravely on Princess Yashu.
“So you didn’t drink the Blood Wine. How did you discover there was something wrong with it?” Princess Yashu asked Qin Yefeng.
“Actually, I didn’t discover anything wrong with the wine myself. It was your sister, Ming Yuexin, who told me it was problematic, so of course, I didn’t drink it.”
“My sister? She is no sister of mine. Now you are all surrounded by my captured subordinates. None of you will escape today. However, do you wish to live?” Princess Yashu glanced at Ming Yuexin, then turned to Qin Yefeng.
“Are you saying that if I ask you to release us, you truly will?” Qin Yefeng took a step back.
“Sparing you is possible, but releasing these palace maids and concubines is not. I need their fresh blood.” Princess Yashu’s blood-red lips curved upwards slightly upon hearing Qin Yefeng’s implied plea for mercy.
“Alright, if you truly intend to spare me, you must have conditions, right?” Qin Yefeng smiled, looking at the demonic Princess Yashu before him.
As soon as Qin Yefeng spoke, the Grand Hall erupted in an uproar.
“What? Will this Holy Sun Envoy, Qin Yefeng, succumb to Princess Yashu’s charms, tempted by the demoness’s beauty?”
“Can Qin Yefeng not defeat that demoness? Why is he saying this now? Is he abandoning everyone in this Grand Hall to escape alone?”
Luo Wo also watched Qin Yefeng nervously. If Qin Yefeng were truly tempted by her beauty, the situation in the Grand Hall would become dire. He certainly couldn’t defeat the demoness now.
“Of course there are conditions. I see the energy within your body is very powerful. Become my male slave, and I will spare you.” Princess Yashu parted her blood-red lips, speaking to Qin Yefeng in a coquettish tone.
“I admit you are beautiful, but as a bloodsucking demoness, I’m afraid I have absolutely no interest,” Qin Yefeng said casually.
“You’re courting death!”
Princess Yashu’s face swiftly transformed, becoming chilling and terrifying. A ferocious glint appeared in her eyes, and her icy voice was laced with unparalleled killing intent.
Princess Yashu was enraged. The Blood Mist throughout the Grand Hall began to surge, and the guards she controlled unleashed their killing intent, attacking the palace maids and other guards.
At this moment, a blood cloud erupted from Princess Yashu’s entire body, its bloody stench overwhelmingly potent.
Princess Yashu drew a blood spear from the blood cloud. Her figure flickered, and a phantom-like blood shadow shot towards Qin Yefeng.
Facing this eerie and demonic woman, Qin Yefeng dared not be careless. Dark Golden Burning Heaven Dragon Flame erupted from his entire body.
As the Sky Flame Burning Heaven Dragon Flame, fused with Earth Flame, appeared in the Grand Hall, its scorching energy immediately caused the blood cloud above to begin evaporating.
In an instant, all the blood clouds around Qin Yefeng were purified by the extreme heat of the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame.
At that moment, the blood spear in Princess Yashu’s hand violently thrust towards Qin Yefeng’s head, a reddish sharp blade shimmering along its length.
Facing this unusual blood spear attack, Qin Yefeng dared not be careless in the slightest. The Golden-Yellow Spiritual Power within his body erupted completely.
Qin Yefeng’s gaze was stern as he watched Princess Yashu charge. He raised his Battle Saber high above his head with both hands, then brought it down with full force, cleaving towards the spear tip of the blood spear.
“Clang!”
A dull, heavy clang of clashing weapons rang out, followed by a shower of sparks that glittered brightly in the dim Grand Hall, bringing a fleeting glimmer of light.
“It seems this demoness’s blood cloud has no effect on Qin Yefeng whatsoever. Such a Qin Yefeng possesses an innate combat advantage.”
Luo Wo analyzed, fending off the guards’ attacks while watching Qin Yefeng and Princess Yashu’s battle.
Ming Yuexin also watched Qin Yefeng nervously. Although Princess Yashu looked exactly like her older sister, Ming Yuexin was perfectly clear that she was not her sister.
“You must win, Qin Yefeng! You cannot die!” Ming Yuexin clasped her hands together, secretly praying for Qin Yefeng.
In the Grand Hall, Princess Yashu’s blood spear failed to strike Qin Yefeng, and the bloody malevolent aura erupting from her entire body intensified.
In just a few breaths, Princess Yashu had thrust her spear eight times at Qin Yefeng’s body, each strike more powerful than the last.
Qin Yefeng defended with all his might using his Blood Shadow Battle Saber. At that moment, he dared not even take a breath, fully concentrating on using the saber’s flat to block Princess Yashu’s sharp spear thrusts.
Within the Grand Hall, the blood spear failed to pierce the Blood Shadow Battle Saber. Instead, much blood spurted from the spear itself, splattering onto the floor and making the entire hall appear even more gruesome.
“You can’t break my defense; now it’s my turn!” Qin Yefeng unleashed the Dark Golden Burning Heaven Dragon Flame from his body, coating his Battle Saber with it, then charged back towards Princess Yashu, who was hovering above the Grand Hall.
Qin Yefeng rushed towards Princess Yashu. Moving like a Black Shadow, the Power of Dragon Blood within him fully erupted, and his Golden Battle Saber slashed down with all its might.
Princess Yashu knew she couldn’t withstand this saber strike head-on. She gathered all the blood flowing through her body onto herself, forming a crimson blood shield.
The Golden-bladed Battle Saber was unstoppable. It directly cleaved through the blood shield, then continued to slice the blood spear in half.
A flash of golden light, and Princess Yashu’s body was cleaved in two by Qin Yefeng’s saber, collapsing onto the ground.
A torrent of fresh blood erupted from Princess Yashu’s body, and her eyeballs continued to roll on the ground, as if she had died a truly gruesome death.
Seeing the demoness cleaved in half by Qin Yefeng’s saber, cheers erupted throughout the Grand Hall.
“Hooray! That damned demoness is dead! We’re saved! The Holy Sun Envoy is truly formidable, this is wonderful!”
“What kind of demonic creature was that demoness? Why did she have so much blood in her body, and what exactly was that blood spear?”
