Chapter 19

1

The dark shadow in the sky was not the theoretical moon, but a dense shadow composed of dark elements, blocking the sunlight and plunging the entire capital of the empire into dusk and darkness in a short period of time.

The excessive dark elements caused a cold and terrifying sense of panic in the environment. Unless they were Dark Magic Masters, people would feel extremely uncomfortable in it. And the most concentrated place is this arena. If the audience is still here, it is undoubtedly a torture for them.

"One last time, will you let her go or not?" Bathed in the demon fire, Duke and I were both in a state of complete battle readiness. We were two warriors here, not father and son. The person lying on the ground was just a prey fought over.

"......" The Duke didn't say anything more. He frowned and walked back to Tong Fei, blocking my line of sight.

Spatial step, after stepping out, disappeared in place, and reappeared not behind the Duke but chose to launch a frontal assault.

Appearing from behind was my usual attacking method, but now, when the two sides were nearly evenly matched, the method was superfluous. Following the attack pattern that I always followed would only expose my weaknesses in repeated "rehearsals."

The two flames tore at each other, entangling endlessly. The Duke was surprised to find that my flames gradually differentiated from his under the eclipse. In the crimson-black flame, which was originally a combination of crimson and black, crimson symbolized the fire element while black symbolized the dark element. In my flame, the dark element was unusually active and concentrated. The entire body of flame was pitch black, and only a hint of crimson could be seen at the end of the fire. Within the darkness of the eclipse, the only feature left in the flames on me was that tiny bit of crimson.

After several rounds of clashes, the Duke suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Are we not going to fight anymore!"

"Qin Yang, what's the deal with your flames?" My flames might be a psychological pressure for the Duke. People always feel a little uneasy about things they don't know. The Duke and I were like two sides of a balance, and any force would break the balance for us.

"Just how powerful is the power of the flames? Why don't you give it another try?" My hands turned into tiger claws, like an eagle striking, firmly grabbing the Duke's arm. How could I miss such an exploitable factor?

"Could it be a mutated divine fire?" The flames on the Duke's body strengthened once again.

Elemental forces are uncontrollable for humans or other gods and demons. But for me, elements have to listen to me. To elements, I am equal to a king. Otherwise, why am I able to activate the "Sealing Demon Art."

At this moment, most of the dark elements were on my side, but the Duke's flames could still match the power of a human who could break through to the divine rank. This cannot be underestimated.

"Ah!! Exploding Emperor Flames Dance!" The Duke shouted loudly, and the crimson-black flames actually exploded. Then the flames danced, sweeping the arena on a large scale. The range was so vast that even with my three spatial dodges, I was still caught in it.

"Huh! This arena really can't be used anymore after this. Huh?"

After the flames danced and burned, I stood in the air, the entire arena was completely destroyed, except for the spot where Tong Fei was lying, which remained intact.

But there was no sign of the Duke anywhere in sight.

Has he been suppressing his power all along? His sudden burst of power has surpassed mine. Or perhaps it's because of some other enhancement items.

"Eh!!!" I desperately searched for my father who had disappeared, but before I could fully investigate, I was hit hard from behind with a fierce blow. I lost my balance and fell from the air, causing rocks and stones to be kicked up, reaching a height of five or six meters.

Taking advantage of his victory, the Duke pursued me, descending from the air, and kicked me on the shoulder blade. The strength was so great that my shoulder almost dislocated, causing me intense pain.

How could this be? Have I already lost?

"I don't care what your flames are, but I regret not going out with your mother that year. If only you were still just an ordinary child!" The Duke stepped on my shoulder, but his expression was so gentle.

"If it weren't for that day, maybe I wouldn't have been an ordinary child, either. And I wouldn't have just stood by and done nothing." I exerted all my strength to try to stand up, but the Duke's foot pressed me down. I was no match for his strength, and he understood that.

"Stand by?"

"Dual Soul in One Body! You must have known about it since my birth, right? Being ordinary was never an option for me. Although I once wanted to be ordinary and mediocre, we have been unable to be ordinary since birth."

"You? Throughout history, there has never been any precedent for you to survive, but you actually can. When you were born, it was a shock to discover that you had two souls inside you. It really surprised us. We never dared to have any extravagant hopes because everything relied on the premise that you were still alive. I was so afraid that one day you would leave me and your mother. We live every day in anxiety for you, but you... you took your mother's life away and your hands are covered in blood. You have a cruel and violent nature."The Duke's gentle expression, always maintained when he mentioned his wife, my mother, suddenly shattered. In his heart, my mother held too much weight. Even after ten years, she still remained alone, constantly changing noble suitors, already forgetting her old love.

Although the Duke's intention was to lay down his sword, perhaps to not further lick the wounds in my mother's heart that no longer belonged to him, or perhaps to fulfill his duty to protect the people, this Tong Fei must die. Without his blood, I could never close my eyes today.

My peculiar eyes stared fixedly at Tong Fei, causing him to suddenly panic in his heart. He desperately wanted to escape, exerting all his strength to stand up and try to flee. But as he attempted to escape, I used the power of demonic flames to extend my palm and devour his leg muscles. Even with steel bones without nerve or muscle, he would not be able to run.

"He never changes." The Duke forcefully pressed his foot against my shoulder, causing me immense pain and cold sweat poured down my body.

He doesn't understand, Wenxin's significance to me is extremely important. He would never understand, which is why he repeatedly obstructs. There is no point in speaking with him further.

The power of my soul requires time to accumulate into physical strength, but the accumulation of ten years would definitely reach an unstoppable stage once it erupts.

This person, along with all the people at their school, treating Wenxin like this. No matter how tall the mountain, I will level it to the ground. I clenched my fists and swore in my heart.

The magic power rampaged, and the elements were all at my disposal. Originally, there was already a gathering of massive dark elements here, but at this moment, they concentrated even more intensely, enveloping my entire body. Even under the illumination of the flames of the Duke, I still remained in darkness, not a hint of light entering. If it weren't for the Duke feeling the unevenness of my shoes, he would have thought I had disappeared.

Whoever obstructs me, I will clear them away. The only exception is my father, but if he insists on obstructing me, then I have no choice.

Darkness shrouded my whole body, and the elements granted me infinite power to break the seal on my left eye. In my mind, scenes of Wenxin weakly calling "brother" surfaced. Who caused her to suffer? Who made all our hard preparations go to waste? And who made everyone shed tears? Everything that happened was all because of this person before me.

Tong Fei, regardless of who the mastermind is, you and the others at Nanz Academy will pay the price. Now, I no longer need to care about my father's feelings, nor do I have the time to do so.

The change in my left eye is similar to the right eye. Rune after rune climbed on the eyeball, covering the whole eyeball, gathering at the center of the iris, turning blood red, staining my pitch-black eyes. The blood-red light exuded the darkness that enveloped me. This abnormality startled the Duke, flames leaped on his fists, and he swiftly plummeted towards me.

"Boom..." A sudden impact surged from behind me. The Duke, after being repelled, stood firmly with a surprised expression on his face.

Tong Fei watched as I fought fiercely against a Divine Rank one after another, unable to suppress his inner fear any longer. He madly shouted, "Ah..." His hands wildly scratched, he wanted to leave, he must leave, he desperately wanted to leave but he couldn't. In a terrain full of ups and downs, for him, who couldn't walk upright, it was an unconquerable terrain.

I seemingly stood up in a dejected manner, tilting my head and gazing at the pitch-black sky, devoid of stars or sun. Pure darkness filled my excited heart.

A point of crimson light appeared in the sky.

"Dragon Clan Magic?" The Duke couldn't help but speak.

"Ignorant descendants, kneel before the majesty of our ancestors." As my voice fell, a strange blade instantaneously emerged from the red light, a purple crystal-clear translucent sword. With a completely different aura from the "Inferno Sword," it exuded an unrestrained and uninhibited essence, fully revealing its sharpness without needing a scabbard to conceal it.

The sword's relatively long blade plunged straight into the ground.

"The Demon Sword that slays gods, the eternal authority of soul suppression, now I command you to awaken once again." I bit my finger, blood flowing across the blade, black light erupted, and black-red inscriptions entwined around me and the sword, each inscription marking the blade.

"Today, I bestow upon this sword a new name - Devourer of Gods."

Taking the sword in my hand, I swung it towards the Duke at a speed surpassing the speed of sound. The blade directly broke through the resistance of the demonic flames, causing the Duke to decisively retreat. The tip of the sword grazed his back, and a black aura seeped out from his wound.

This sword is the Demon Dragon's personal sword, having slumbered in darkness for countless years. Both the blade and the hilt are infused with a strong aura of darkness.

The sword aura surged, forcing the Duke to retreat continuously.At that moment, I decisively drew my sword and used spatial steps to appear in front of Tong Fei.

"Oops!" the duke yelled, but it was already too late.

The hand wrapped in demonic fire instantly pierced through Tong Fei's heart. As I unleashed all of my power, the flame's strength multiplied a thousandfold, melting through steel bones and heading straight for the heart.

My right hand penetrated Tong Fei, gripping his beating heart as his body hung from my arm.
