After Wang Hong and his fourteen subordinates had thoroughly looted the Qing Fox tribe's lair, they swiftly returned to Yunxia Mountain, coincidentally arriving just in time for the great battle.
"Old demon, I've cleaned out your lair. Surrender now! Otherwise, this will be your fate," Wang Hong declared, tossing a three-tier Qing Fox corpse out.
Qingyu, who was in the midst of battle, turned to look and saw a bloody Qing Fox corpse that had been mangled beyond recognition. Even Qingyu couldn't identify it.
Extending its hand, Qingyu generated a force of attraction, pulling the fox's corpse towards itself.
Examining the corpse in its grasp, Qingyu pieced together the disfigured body and finally recognized it as one of its kin who had been guarding the treasure vault in their lair.
The body had been mutilated, with its abdomen ripped open. Suddenly, Qingyu's expression changed drastically as its Divine Sense detected several red beads hidden within the fox's abdomen.
In a previous battle, Qingyu had witnessed the power of these beads, which contained the Golden Crow Fire, something it had always feared.
As it was about to throw the Qing Fox corpse away, there was a sudden explosion, and the corpse disintegrated in its hand, giving rise to a massive burst of golden flames.
"Attack!" Wang Hong shouted, wielding both his swords as he moved to strike Qingyu.
The rest of his group also unleashed their own magic weapons and employed their most powerful techniques, encircling Qingyu.
At this moment, more than seventy Golden Core Cultivators on Wang Hong's side were converging on a four-tier Qing Fox, determined to capture it.
Qingyu's claw and chest were now ablaze with golden flames, a formidable fire that ordinary means could not extinguish. To protect itself, Qingyu had to isolate the flames temporarily with a significant amount of Demonic Energy. However, with the flames burning on its body, if not dealt with promptly, it would soon exhaust its Demonic Energy and be consumed by the fire.
Desperate to escape and find a hidden spot to deal with the Golden Crow Fire, Qingyu found its path blocked by a group of Golden Core Cultivators, adding to its growing anxiety.
With no other options, Qingyu extended one of its claws, quickly enlarging it to several meters in size and swiping it forward.
Just then, Wang Hong's pair of red Flying Swords in the Tai Chi Sword Formation transformed into a dual Yin and Yang formation. These two Flying Swords formed Yin and Yang fish, one red and extremely hot, derived from the Golden Crow Fire, and the other blue and extremely cold, derived from the Fusang Wood's properties. Because yang generates yin, hot generates cold, the blue Yin and Yang fish were exceptionally cold.
The two Yin and Yang fish intertwined and swam, gradually, their eyes began to shine. The blue Yin and Yang fish's eyes turned red, and the red fish's eyes turned blue.
Qingyu's enormous claw was about to strike the group when the two Yin and Yang fish's eyes emitted beams of light.
The two spiraling beams of light, one blue and one red, rapidly approached Qingyu and struck its massive claw in an instant.
The two Golden Core Cultivators who had been preparing to self-destruct saw the two beams of light surpass them and collide with Qingyu's claw.
The collision occurred silently, as if two beams of light had shone onto the claw.
However, the flesh and tissues on the claw disintegrated rapidly upon being illuminated by the two beams of light, dissolving into nothingness.
All things in the world are formed from the combination and transformation of Yin and Yang energies. Now, the Yin and Yang energies produced by the Tai Chi Sword Formation were returning everything to its original form.
Sensing the danger on its claw, Qingyu quickly retracted it, revealing a large area of bone as the flesh disappeared.
The onlookers had never seen Wang Hong employ such a technique before. Today was the first time they witnessed that the East Master possessed the power to confront a four-tier Demonic Beast head-on.
The two Golden Core Cultivators who had prepared to self-destruct now awkwardly retreated. They had made bold declarations earlier but now slunk back, their pride wounded.
Meanwhile, Qingyu's Golden Crow Fire burned more intensely and was becoming difficult to control. It needed to leave and find a hidden place to deal with the fire, but a group of Golden Core Cultivators blocked its path, causing immense frustration.
Unable to focus on anything else, Qingyu extended one of its claws, rapidly enlarging it to several meters in size, and swiped it forward.
At the same time, from Qingyu's tail, a large number of hair-like projectiles shot out, each as sharp as an arrow, heading towards the group with great force.
Simultaneously, despite its injured claw, Qingyu continued to swipe forward, having realized that the blue and red light beams, though formidable, couldn't stop its advance.
He quickly summoned a set of leaf-shaped magic weapons for defense. Both of his magic weapon sets consumed a significant amount of Spiritual Power, and usually, he could only use one at a time. In this exceptional circumstance, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and use both simultaneously. There was no time even for a sip of Spirit Wine.
Summoning the Tai Chi Sword Formation earlier had already consumed a third of his Spiritual Power. It appeared that the quality of materials used in magic weapons didn't necessarily correlate with their effectiveness. However, if not for the thousand-year Fusang Wood, his Tai Chi Sword Formation wouldn't possess such great power.
This time, Qingyu's claw, despite being reduced to bone, fiercely struck against the spiraling blue and red energies that were breaking it apart.
As it neared Wang Hong, the claw had become nothing but bone.
The claw, which Qingyu had nurtured for thousands of years and fortified with rare materials, especially in its bone section, was remarkably resilient.
However, the claw, now mostly crystalline bone, was blocked by seemingly delicate green leaves, which stopped its advance.
Simultaneously, the projectiles shot from Qingyu's tail injured more than twenty people, leaving them unconscious and possibly dead.
The remaining fighters, however, stood their ground, using their most powerful techniques to prevent Qingyu from breaking through.
They knew that this was their best opportunity to slay Qingyu. If they could just hold it off and prevent it from healing and dealing with the Golden Crow Fire, they could slowly wear it down.
Once it passed this hurdle, the next battle would come at a much higher cost.
Wang Hong's face turned pale, but he continued to control both sets of magic weapons with all his might.
The leaf-shaped magic weapons shielded against Qingyu's bone claw, while the blue and red light beams repeatedly targeted Qingyu's main body, which kept dodging.
However, the Golden Crow Fire on Qingyu's upper body had become more intense, and in front of Wang Hong, there were now only a dozen leaf-shaped defenses remaining out of the original thirty-six, with the rest having exhausted their Spiritual Energy.
Finally, as Wang Hong was on the brink of collapse, he heard Qingyu's agonizing scream.
