Chapter 20

The sky gradually cleared up, and the solar eclipse, brought about by the dark elements, finally came to an end, dissipating the eerie atmosphere that accompanied it.
I casually threw Tong Fei's body aside, his heart still beating "thump... thump... thump...", and couldn't help but squeeze it, causing blood to burst out from my right hand, staining me from head to toe with fresh blood.
"You finally got what you wanted!" The Duke stood with his hands behind his back amidst the rubble and spoke.
I looked at him with my head tilted, taking steps towards the direction of the sword.
The Duke saw the blood red in my eyes very clearly, flickering strangely and appearing quite peculiar.
The inscription on the "Devouring God Sword" still faintly glowed, creating a purple vortex in the air, forming a radius of ten meters of aura. The aura of the sword was still as familiar as ever. This demonic sword that had followed the Demon Dragon through countless battles and emerged again after millennia of silence surpassed the realm of magic tools. The only sword that could rival it in the past was the "Sword of Exorcism". How many magic tools could match it after thousands of years? However, I couldn't fully control its power to the extreme at the moment, but I was extremely excited to be able to pick it up again.
Various thoughts gathered together, unable to express the excitement in my heart with words alone. Excitement alone couldn't fully convey the feelings in my heart.
But the only way to express the feelings in my heart was to shout.
I gently stroked the hilt of the sword with my hand, unable to suppress the feeling any longer, causing me to unconsciously draw the sword and let out a long roar towards the sky.
"Ah..."
The sound that came out of my throat was not that of a normal human, but the roar of a dragon, a resounding dragon's roar that shook the heavens and the earth and shocked the entire city. From the imperial palace, the forbidden areas, to the small streets and alleys, everyone could hear it.
The sound of a dragon cannot be imitated because the vocal cords of a dragon are different from a human's, but it can be emitted by the soul. The Demon Dragon expressed his excitement with his unique dragon's roar, allowing more people to feel my excitement.
"The dragon's roar astonishes the city. What exactly is my son, a dragon or a human?" The Duke could no longer calm his astonishment.
A decade of accumulation erupted in an instant. The sword was awakened again after my shout, and all the stored magic power within me dissipated completely. The fatigue made my head spin, and I wanted to complain about this damn body, but I no longer had a choice.
As I was about to collapse, the Duke tried to approach me, as a father or as a Duke, wanting to extend his hand at this moment, even though we had just fought each other with swords, even though I had just defied my father's orders and become a killer with blood covering my entire body, I couldn't help but reach out my hand.
But things never go as planned. Suddenly, figures appeared in the sky, about ten of them, led by a man dressed in a suit, and the other nine formed a circle, trapping the Duke. The Duke instinctively resisted, and the flames of the Demon Fire appeared in his hand. The man in the suit stretched out his leg and kicked, meeting the Duke head-on.
"Not bad, you can withstand my leg technique, although it's not the fist that I'm proud of." The Duke blocked the attack falling from the sky with both hands, but the man smiled, as if appreciating a junior.
"But you still can't withstand Master's fist. It's truly embarrassing."
"We haven't seen each other for many years, Feng'er!" Judging by appearances, the man in the suit seemed younger than the Duke, but the Duke didn't look old either, around thirty at most, although he was actually over a hundred.
"The person who can match my boxing skills, apart from the ten Demon Kings in The Demon Realm, is none other than His Majesty, the Demon Dragon." This person called Yu Zhe had long ago submitted to me as one of my demon kings.
"Demon Dragon?"
"Your Qin family ancestor was the daughter of the previous generation's Boxing Demon King, my sister and His Majesty, the Demon Dragon's descendant. So you already have the blood of the demon race, no wonder His Majesty reincarnated as your offspring."
Yu Zhe respectfully carried me, speaking as we walked and stopping in front of the Duke.
"Your Majesty is entrusted to you. His Majesty still has many restrictions at the moment, but you must protect him well before he unifies The Demon Realm again. The Demon Fire has already been discovered."
"Could the prophecy foretold before Sartu's death come true? The Lord of the Demons is indeed Qin Yang!"Duke Qin took me, who was still asleep, with a gentle gaze.
"We will handle matters for the emperor in secret, as for what happens in the open, we can only leave it to you, the Duke of the Empire."
Yu Zhe gestured to the people beside him, "Restore this place."
The nine people immediately left their positions and formed a formation, casting magic and creating a unique magic array. All the shattered stones, screens, and even Tong Fei, whose heart was pierced, although his body was repaired, his life could not continue. Death has become a fact, and his soul has already returned to the underworld, unable to be revived.
"Feng'er, take the emperor and leave. I'm sure you have a lot to discuss."
"Understood!" The Duke carried me on his shoulder and walked towards the exit of the arena.

In the hotel, everyone waited by Wenxin's side. Wenxin was already fine and could get out of bed after resting for two days.
Now the biggest concern is me. The last live broadcast showed the confrontation between Duke Qin and me, and all the devices in the arena were destroyed. The repeated loud noises coming from inside were thrilling, and no one knew what happened inside.
"Will Xiaoyang be bullied by Duke Qin? After all, he is a god-level expert." Yao spoke up.
"The Duke is Qin Yang's father, so logically he wouldn't harm Qin Yang. But Qin Yang has always been afraid that his father couldn't let go of his deceased mother and would be unfavorable to him." The president bit his fingernails, gazing at the towering arena outside the window.
"He shouldn't be easily defeated. He should have confidence in himself at the end." Qiong, who had been by my side since the beginning, knew a lot of things that happened on-site. She could only reluctantly leave when the Duke ordered everyone to clear the scene. At the moment she left, she didn't see any signs of me backing down.
"Can that guy defeat a god-level expert? Sometimes he's like a weak lamb, and sometimes he's a strong lion. Even if he is the son of Duke Qin, it shouldn't be like this." Qing, my senior sister, couldn't figure it out, wondering what kind of person I am and how many secrets I have.
"Master, he is the Demon Dragon." Nofice meditated on the sofa with crossed legs, strangely not becoming docile as usual; the aloof and glamorous state remained.
When Nofice became my familiar a few months ago, she already knew of my extraordinary nature, so normally, signing a contract with Nofice would require a price. But I didn't have to pay any price to obtain Nofice as my familiar.
"What...what?" This piece of news undoubtedly shocked many people.
"And the white-haired Qin Yang is the Holy Dragon!" the president added.
"That's impossible. The Holy Dragon and the Demon Dragon cannot coexist peacefully, let alone be in one body."
"A lot of things can no longer be analyzed with common sense. Until now, the reason for the war between the Ink Dragon and the Demon Dragon is just speculation. Only he himself knows the final answer."
"Heh!" Suddenly, Nofice put on a gentle smile. "Everyone has a chance to become the master's concubine!" Nofice completely ignored the impact of her words and laughed to herself.
"Although I don't like it very much, I can't refuse anymore." Qiong's contract on the back of her right hand lit up, and she helplessly touched her hand and laughed.
"Sister?"
"He wants to establish a harem, and the president can't stop him, right?"
"Erm...there are so many rivals!" Yao murmured softly.
"Tsk, what does it have to do with having a harem!" Qing angrily left the room.
After Qing left the room, Tesha rushed back in a hurry and said, "Huff...Huff...Qin Yang was taken away by the Duke!"
