However, the sword in the fake Black Bat King's hand looked of poor quality like common iron, unlike the sword in Rong Tian's hand. Rong Tian's blade emanated an aura of power that whispered of ancient bloodlines and forbidden techniques, marking it as a treasure forged in the depths of demonic cultivation.Rong Tian snorted coldly again, his expression hidden behind the jade mask but his contempt evident in every gesture. "You brought archers like common bandits would. That's not the kind of army the Black Bat King should have, for I command forces beyond your comprehension. Want to see my real army?" he asked provocatively with voice sharp as his blade, his eyes staring intently at his opponent through the mask's eye slits.Hearing Rong Tian's words that challenged his authority, the archers aimed their bows at the sky with renewed purpose. They targeted specifically the direction where Rong Tian was floating, arrows notched and ready to fly at their master's command.However, Rong

However, for Qi Yu, the effect was entirely different when she saw Rong Tian's sharp eyes staring directly at her. Her heart raced like drums beating a war rhythm, and her sympathy for the Black Bat King grew deeper with each passing moment.She justified in her heart with reasoning that made perfect sense to her love struck mind. "This is the true Black Bat King, the real legend standing before me. He can fly like stories tell, unlike that similar figure who fled like a frightened dog."Qi Yu was about to scream in her unconsciousness that threatened to overwhelm her rational mind, about to call out the name "Black Bat King" with reverence and longing. But before the words could leave her lips, Rong Tian, who was floating in the air like a dark angel, blew his flute with deliberate purpose.TUIIIIIITThe magical and terrifying effect of the flute's haunting melody made Qi Yu snap back to reality like cold water thrown on her face. In an instant, all the zombie troops moved swiftly in

"Little sister Rong... One day, I will promote you to the Shadow of Darkness Sect and teach you true power.""It's important for a man to have martial arts skills that command respect. The purpose is so that you won't be looked down upon by others who see weakness as invitation!" she said in a slightly condescending tone that rankled despite her good intentions.Rong Tian didn't answer her proclamation, keeping his thoughts to himself. He just muttered something incomprehensible under his breath, and Qi Yu didn't pay any attention to him as they moved forward.The two of them continued walking quickly through the throngs, pushing through the increasingly dense crowd. Bodies pressed against them from all sides as the festival drew closer, the excitement building with each step.Upon arriving at Biramaki Beach where the festivities were in full swing, Qi Yu was confused by the sheer number of people. "Where should we watch from? All the areas are already full of spectators," she said ir

"Sister Qi Yu... let's go before this escalates further. I think standing among the crowd and watching the dragon boats from a distance... isn't so bad!" Rong Tian said with voice soft and pleading, trying to persuade Qi Yu to abandon this fight that could only end in disaster.However, being a fierce girl from the demonic sect who had never learned to back down, Qi Yu grew even angrier. She didn't mind being insulted by those who knew nothing of true power, but insulting Rong Tian, whom she considered family and under her protection, enraged Qi Yu beyond reason."I will get revenge for this slight... I will humiliate that spoiled girl who thinks herself untouchable!" Qi Yu said with bloodshot eyes full of rage that burned like hellfire, her voice like thunder echoing through the air and making children cry in fear.Amidst the blowing sea breeze that carried salt and the promise of storms, amidst the chaos of people talking and even laughing at Rong Tian with cruel amusement, Qi Yu's

"In the demon sects where I was trained from childhood, we have a special technique to determine whether someone is still a virgin or not. This is important so that the girls in the sect are not taken advantage of by the male disciples who would exploit their innocence!" continued Qi Yu with voice full of conviction that rang across the beach like a bell.Qi Yu took a deep breath that drew in the salty sea air, and everyone felt tense with anticipation building in their chests. They were eager to know what technique the girl was referring to, leaning forward with bated breath to catch every word.Qi Yu then produced a small jar containing white powder that gleamed mysteriously in the sunlight. The container was made of ancient jade, its surface carved with symbols that spoke of forgotten arts from the demonic sects.She then asked someone to step forward and approach her with confident gesture that brooked no refusal. "Whoever is still a virgin among you, come up to the podium without
