Du Yun angrily said, "You think you can block my path with this thing? You’re courting death!"

With a wave of his claws, he tore the virtual shadow created by the replicated jade stone into two, intending to continue his attack on Qin An.

But just then, Du Yun felt a chill coming from behind him.

With the flow of water, the chilling feeling began to spread.

Du Yun’s heart was startled, sensing danger, he stopped pursuing Qin An, suddenly turned around, and witnessed an unbelievable scene.

He saw the virtual shadow conjured by the replicated jade stone recover again, emotionless, launching another attack at him.

This time, apart from the Secret Technique of the Three Blades Unite, the Qi Blood Power gathered by the replicated jade stone converged into a punch too.

Each punch had the Qi Blood of ten demon spirits burning fiercely, and in an instant, more than ten punches were delivered.

Du Yun was shocked: "Does this thing have no weaknesses?"

Without hesitation, he temporarily gave up the plan to surround and kill Qin An, hoping another of his kin could slow Qin An down, and charged towards the virtual shadow from the replicated jade stone.

When both attacks collided, an endless aftershock was generated.

The virtual shadow conjured by the replicated jade stone disappeared, but before Du Yun could relax, another virtual shadow formed, attacking him again.

Du Yun was very clear in his heart that the repeated use of such a Secret Technique required him to be extremely cautious.

If it were on land, he naturally wouldn’t care, but now he’s in water, so he had no opportunity to help his kin surround and kill Qin An again.

He could only continue entangling with the virtual shadow conjured by the replicated jade stone.

On the other side, Qin An had already exchanged several moves with the Bird Demon.

Qin An had now immersed the Cold Star in water, and under the control of Spiritual Energy, continuously performed blade skills, causing the Bird Demon considerable troubles.

The main attraction was Qin An’s fist technique.

Qin An did not care about using the demon spirits, in such a dangerous situation, if he still cared about them, he would be a miser risking his life.

Thus, with each swing of his fist, Qin An ensured it contained the Qi Blood of ten demon spirits, and with Qin An’s supreme foundation, the Bird Demon, hindered and weakened by the water, was faintly suppressed by him.

The Bird Demon felt increasing dread, its body now covered in dripping blood.

Especially Qin An’s fists and the Straight Blade that could automatically perform blade skills, they made the Bird Demon impulsive to flee.

The Bird Demon screeched, then a wisp of Evil Qi gathered onto its beak, pecking at Qin An again.

This was the fourth time it had used its strongest Secret Technique, which consumed a lot of its strength.

Yet Qin An, seemingly tireless, clashed with its beak once more.

"Boom!"

A terrifying booming sound erupted, and blood gushed from the corner of Qin An’s mouth, but his compound pills seemingly cost nothing as they continuously healed his wounds.

In contrast, the Bird Demon had grown exhausted, with its feathers in complete disarray.

Blood seeped from the gaps in its feathers.

It knew that if it continued like this, the only thing waiting for it was death.

The Bird Demon let out an angry shout, preparing to turn and flee.

It planned to give up on surrounding and killing Qin An, even abandoning Du Yun, its kin.

All it wanted now was to escape with its life.

But just as it was about to turn, a voice sounded in its ear.

"It’s a little late to run now; if you don’t leave your life here, wouldn’t my previous losses be for nothing?"

The Bird Demon quickly turned its head, seeing Qin An had drawn near.

Before it could react, Qin An grabbed its beak with his hands and forcefully tore it to the side.

Then, with a powerful surge and the addition of Qi Blood Power, the Bird Demon’s head was torn into two by Qin An.

Blood sprayed across the river, yet Qin An remained expressionless, extracting the demon spirit from the Bird Demon’s body and placing it in his bosom.

Then, Qin An turned his head, his eyes coldly sweeping towards Du Yun.

At this moment, Du Yun was still battling the virtual shadow from the replicated jade stone.

There was no benefit to be gained from the virtual shadow, as Du Yun was the strongest among the three Bird Demons.

Even with the obstacles posed by the water and the weakened combat power, he could still casually crush the virtual shadow created by the replicated jade stone.

Du Yun had also noticed Qin An’s situation, the chill in his heart visibly expanding.

When Qin An killed the first Bird Demon, it leveraged the replicated jade stone, the Bird Demon’s carelessness, and Qin An’s stealth attack.

But killing the second Bird Demon, Du Yun realized Qin An relied on his real strength.

Now, with both Bird Demons dead by Qin An’s hand, only he remained as an enemy, and combined with that virtual shadow, Du Yun felt an extremely deep sense of crisis.

He immediately shouted, cutting through the virtual shadow once again, and charged towards Qin An at full speed.

He knew clearly that the virtual shadow could not be scattered, so using his years of life-and-death experiences, he concluded.

To make the virtual shadow disappear completely, he must kill Qin An, who controlled it.

Now that the virtual shadow was causing him trouble, he ignored it entirely.

What harm was there in taking an injury once?

Judging by the strength Qin An had displayed, it was absolutely impossible for him to kill Du Yun.

As Du Yun thought this, the distance between him and Qin An had closed significantly.

Du Yun could even feel the murderous intent emanating from Qin An, while the virtual shadow struck at him again.

This time, Du Yun didn’t dodge or avoid it, only launching an attack at Qin An.

A sphere of Evil Qi formed in his beak, and with Du Yun’s breath, formed into an Evil Qi Light Pillar, turning the surrounding water to steam.

This was his most potent attack Secret Technique, the Evil Qi Light Pillar condensed forth, which even those at the same level dare not receive casually.

Even though his movements were impaired in water, Qin An should not be able to withstand it.

Intense pain shot from behind, but Du Yun gritted his teeth, letting the virtual shadow’s attack hit him.

The light pillar was already close to Qin An.

Du Yun thought this was a sure thing, yet Qin An displayed an astonishing calmness.

"Why is he so calm?"

"Impossible! Could he have a method to win?"

A thought emerged in Du Yun’s mind.

In truth, if dealing with an ordinary Void Shattering Realm opponent, or even a similar level Element Transformation Realm, he wouldn’t have considered so much.

But the enemy he faced this time was astonishingly peculiar.

He couldn’t help but entertain such thoughts.

Qin An remained composed as the Evil Qi Light Pillar approached, with a move of his fingers, the Cold Star transformed into a stream of light, performing the Three Blades Unite Secret Technique, cleaving towards the Evil Qi.

However, when Qin An’s Straight Blade met the Evil Qi Light Pillar, his blade was deflected, flying back towards Qin An.

Qin An shouted, relying on the Qi Blood within, continuously throwing punches.

Each punch contained the essence of ten demon spirits.

He had already exhausted all he had.

A series of booming sounds ensued, the Evil Qi Light Pillar gradually diminishing, while Qin An’s fists did not weaken but grew stronger with each punch.

Within a few breaths, the Evil Qi Light Pillar vanished, while Qin An’s injuries had become severe.

The virtual shadow launched another attack, but this time, created an excellent opportunity for Du Yun.

Du Yun swung his wing, the fierce wind enveloping the virtual shadow, turning it into nothingness instantly.

Seizing the moment the virtual shadow was reforming, Du Yun spit another Evil Qi Light Pillar at Qin An.

This was his absolute limit, launching such an attack one more time would leave Du Yun dead without a place to be buried.

But now, as long as he could kill Qin An, it was all worth it.

As the attack neared, Du Yun saw a hint of tranquility on Qin An’s face...
