Luo Shihua stared at Qin Yi with a gloomy chill, a grave look in his eyes; Qin Yi's cultivation had far exceeded his expectations.

Qin Yi's eyes opened and closed, killing intent blazing. The ground before him exploded with a deafening boom as his figure flashed to Luo Shihua, fist swinging straight out, domineering and overbearing.

Luo Shihua refused to show weakness. As the Tower Master of the seventh floor of the Sin Tower, a powerhouse among powerhouses, rarely meeting an equal, how could he retreat?

The two clashed once more, tangled together in a battle that turned heaven and earth upside down.

"Bang!"

A storm swept out as both were blasted backward by the other's force, slamming viciously into the wall behind them and blowing it apart.

The seventh floor was also shrouded by an array, ensuring the seventh floor would not be destroyed.

However, with Qin Yi's current cultivation, this array apparently could no longer withstand his destructive might. With that one collision, not only did the wall shatter, even the Great Array's boundary barrier showed cracks.

Qin Yi formed a seal with one hand.

Wind Blade.

A violent gale burst forth, transforming into countless Wind Blades, condensing into a Wind Blade Dragon that roared toward Luo Shihua.

Luo Shihua pinched a sword technique, terrifying power coursing around his body, transforming into thousands upon thousands of Sword Qi.

The two equally terrifying forces collided in midair.

"Boom, boom…!"

Explosions rang out continuously, deafening.

The two stared fixedly at each other, relentlessly driving their Wind Blades and Sword Qi.

But with each clash between Wind Blade and Sword Qi, both of them were forced to retreat further back.

"Boom!"

The final Sword Qi and Wind Blade collided and erupted with a thunderous blast.

Qin Yi and Luo Shihua both let out a muffled groan, their bodies shooting backward like cannonballs, slamming exactly into the spot they had hit before.

"Bang!"

The wall exploded, and the Great Array's boundary barrier shattered from the impact. The two blasted straight through the wall and flew out of the Sin Tower.

Outside, the noisy crowd instantly fell silent, dead quiet.

Everyone lifted their heads to look over, all dumbstruck, completely petrified.

The Sin Tower had actually been blasted through.

The Sin Tower had stood here for so long, dominating the two states of north and south, and had never been damaged. Yet these two had actually punched a hole through it—this was simply too terrifying.

Qin Yi and Luo Shihua stabilized themselves in midair, soaring up above the Sin Tower. They faced each other from afar, killing intent sharp as blades.

On the high point of the distant ruins, Xiao Jian abruptly stood up, face full of shock. "So it's Luo Shihua."

Yun Mengyao was puzzled. "Who is Luo Shihua?"

"The Tower Master of the seventh floor."

Everyone present had a drastic change of expression. Qin Yi had silently fought his way up to the seventh floor. Moreover, judging from the current situation, Luo Shihua actually had no way to deal with Qin Yi.

The Seven-inch Snake and the others had faces as pale as paper; they had never expected Qin Yi to have grown this strong.

Down below, there were also people who recognized Luo Shihua.

The Qi Refiners here numbered in the millions; it was no surprise that someone recognized Luo Shihua.

However, even the seventh floor Tower Master seemed unable to take down Qin Yi. Qin Yi was simply too frightening. How old was he, anyway?

"You did this on purpose?" Luo Shihua glared at Qin Yi and shouted harshly, "You deliberately blasted through the Sin Tower just to use me to boost your own fame."

Qin Yi sneered with utter disdain. "You're overestimating yourself. Luo Shihua, since when does Qin need to step on you to raise his reputation? Tell me, in the entire Southern Middle State today, who doesn't know me, Qin Yi? In terms of fame, I stand above you."

Luo Shihua snorted coldly and said in an icy voice, "So what if your name shakes the Southern Middle State? If you die here today, my glorious battle record will gain another brilliant stroke. Speaking of which, I should be thanking you."

Qin Yi's eyes were full of mockery. "Luo Shihua, do you even have that kind of ability?"

As his words fell, Qin Yi formed seals.

Chirp!

All of a sudden, the entire sky turned scarlet. Rolling Purple Light surged out from Qin Yi's body, soaring into the air and transforming into terrifying Purple Flames. The sea of fire billowed, as if it would refine the heavens themselves.

A shrill, vicious cry pierced metal and cracked stone, making eardrums ache.

The rolling Purple Flames condensed into a gigantic Phoenix. Its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky and sun, its terrifying baleful might shaking people's Divine Souls.

Qin Yi raised his hand and gave a fierce shake.

The Fire Phoenix screeched, its wings beating once as it dove down toward Luo Shihua, carrying terrifying Purple Flames.

Luo Shihua's expression was solemn. His hands danced, constantly forming sword techniques. Terrifying power surged from all over his body, transforming into dense Sword Qi; the Sword Qi gathered, actually forming a terrifying Sword Dragon that charged head-on at the Fire Phoenix.

The Fire Phoenix screamed.

The Sword Dragon roared.

The terrifying roars made the Qi Refiners below turn deathly pale, their blood and Qi surging; those with weaker cultivation coughed up blood on the spot.

The gigantic Fire Phoenix stretched out its talons like Iron Hooks and grabbed straight at the Sword Dragon.

The Sword Dragon howled, countless Sword Qi slamming into the Phoenix's claws.

"Boom, boom…!"

Streak after streak of Sword Qi exploded, and the storm raged madly in midair, shaking heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

Another earth-shattering explosion rang out. The Fire Phoenix's claws were finally torn to pieces by the Sword Qi. The Phoenix spun, its Fire Wings like blades, and took the opportunity to slice the Sword Dragon cleanly in two.

The two segments of Sword Dragon coiled in the air, then howled as they charged again at the Fire Phoenix.

"Boom!"

Under the control of Qin Yi and Luo Shihua, the Fire Phoenix and Sword Dragon clashed in a massive collision and exploded.

In an instant, a terrifying storm mixed with waves of fire swept across a thousand-meter radius of sky, its might utterly astonishing.

"Run!"

"Run, hurry!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The terrifying explosion shook the ground below, splitting it with horrifying cracks. Countless people spat blood on the spot; some had their heart meridians shattered by the shock and fell dead.

The area below descended into chaos as everyone fled in all directions. Some Qi Refiners with weak cultivation were trampled to death, truly unlucky.

Qin Yi's face was pale. Luo Shihua was worthy of being the seventh floor Tower Master—his cultivation was terrifying.

Luo Shihua forcibly suppressed the blood surging up his throat, swallowing it down by sheer will. His old face was ashen and gloomy. He had sat in command of the Sin Tower for a hundred years and had never been so battered. To end up pushed this far by a young junior truly made him feel wretched.

On the ruins, Yun Mengyao's eyes were filled with smiles as she said softly, "I really didn't expect that this shameless scoundrel's cultivation was so terrifying—even I didn't know."

Jing Wuyan and the others had long been stunned. Just watching this battle scene was enough to terrify them.

Xiao Jian gave a bitter laugh. He had once exchanged blows with Qin Yi. At the time he had thought Qin Yi was no pushover, but he'd never imagined he was this strong—absurdly strong.

"Luo Shihua, come on."

Qin Yi raised his hand, Purple Light surging around him. Strings of Star and Moon Symbols gushed from his palm, wildly spreading in all directions and condensing into Star Rings over two meters in diameter.

Luo Shihua's gaze was gloomy; he had to kill Qin Yi. Otherwise, the Sword Sect's reputation built over thousands of years might be ruined in a single day.

Terrifying power coursed around his body, turning into streaks of bone-chilling Sword Qi.

At this moment, the sky was incomparably dazzling, filled everywhere with brilliant and resplendent Star Rings.

Within several hundred meters around Luo Shihua, Sword Qi roamed, killing intent piercing the heavens.

Qin Yi formed a seal with one hand.

God Slaying Blade.

A gigantic blade over ten zhang long stood upright in midair. The blade—king among weapons—was inherently domineering and fierce.

Qin Yi pressed down with his raised hand.

"Boom!"

The enormous Purple Blade cleaved straight down toward Luo Shihua's head. The terrifying blade force seemed as if it would split the earth open; even the Void itself showed cracks.
