Chapter 237: Dare Not Kneel Before Me

Qi Meinang was stunned by the intense confrontation between Qin Shuang and Chen Fei.

Before he could say a word, Qin Shuang suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Chen Fei. “Trash will always be trash! So what if you speak?”

As her voice fell, her Three-Pupil Spirit Eyes activated, and her gaze locked tightly onto Chen Fei.

Chen Fei remained calm and unmoved.

“You wretched woman! The dumbest thing you’ve done is trying to use the Three-Pupil Spirit Eyes against me! Have you forgotten where they came from?”

Indeed, Qin Shuang had once taken the Three-Pupil Spirit Eyes’ bone root from Chen Fei.

But Chen Fei was the original owner of those eyes. Even though the root was extracted, they still shared the same origin — making the technique ineffective against him!

Qin Shuang seemed to have anticipated this. “You think I don’t know that? I wasn’t trying to harm you — I was trying to trap you!”

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and a chilling power condensed in her pale palm.

“Soul Seize!” A flash of hatred crossed her eyes.

Even though her current accomplishments were impressive — most of them stemmed from Chen Fei — she still couldn’t erase her deep resentment. Especially now, as the child in her womb kept draining her strength, and her master’s words forced her to remain helpless.

These feelings had long been buried within her heart, carefully concealed. But now, faced with Chen Fei once more, she couldn’t hold back.

A ghostly face formed from inky-black Qi writhed in her palm and shot straight toward Chen Fei.

Chen Fei glared at Qin Shuang. He had thought he was close to forgetting this wretched woman — but seeing her again, every movement of hers carved itself into his heart, burning like fire.

That pain of having his bone root ripped from his flesh came rushing back in an instant.

“Begone!”

With a furious roar, the ghostly face disintegrated three meters from him.

Qin Shuang’s face showed a flicker of surprise — her attack had been destroyed so effortlessly.

“I didn’t expect you to reach this level…” Her voice trembled, and fear took root in her heart.

If Chen Fei had remained a cripple, he would’ve been nothing more than her punching bag. But now, his spiritual power had become so deep and vast — far beyond what she had imagined!

And no one knew better than Qin Shuang just how much Chen Fei hated her.

She was afraid.

Because she knew Chen Fei could really kill her! Even if he spared her for the child’s sake, he would still cripple her!

Qin Shuang’s head suddenly snapped up.

In the sky above, the Blood Soul Beast had already begun to stir.

But it was still short of full awakening.

“Chen Fei!” Qin Shuang screamed with a raspy, hysterical voice. She looked utterly deranged.

The disciples of Cloudrise Sect were shocked. They had never seen Qin Shuang like this.

“You must die today!” she shouted, her eyes filled with icy killing intent.

She raised her hand, and threads of black energy shot out, piercing through the bodies of the Cloudrise Sect disciples!

Many of them didn’t even have time to react. Looking down at the black lines piercing their chests, their faces were filled with confusion.

“Elder Qin, what are you doing?”

“Why?! Why are you doing this?”

Voices of disbelief rang out, but Qin Shuang ignored them completely.

The only one unharmed was Qi Meinang — not because he was spared, but because his protective artifact had saved his life.

“Qin Shuang! You bitch!” Qi Meinang trembled with rage, pointing at her with terror on his face.

Qin Shuang glanced coldly at him and clenched her fist. The disciples who still had some strength left shuddered violently as the black threads drew out their blood and flesh, gathering in her palm.

It formed a sphere of raw blood essence the size of a human head.

“Go!”

Without hesitation, she hurled it into the air.

The Blood Soul Beast, as if stimulated by the essence, suddenly opened its eyes wide. Its savage and violent gaze locked onto Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang’s heart trembled with fear, but she stubbornly raised her chin.

“You want to leave this place? I can help you — but you must kill everyone here!”

She revealed a seemingly ordinary stone in her hand, engraved with a strange sigil.

The Blood Soul Beast growled, “I’ll trust you once.”

With a thunderous roar, it stood up. The chains binding it clattered and then shattered piece by piece.

“How many years has it been… ROAR!”

It transformed from shadow to substance and leapt to the ground — the whole process took only a blink.

Chen Fei frowned. This insane woman… she really unleashed the Blood Soul Beast!

Even while sitting, the beast exuded a terrifying aura. It gently licked its paw like a docile cat — but Qi Meinang wasn’t fooled.

Without warning, a blood spike erupted beneath him. It pierced through his protective artifact and skewered him like a kebab.

“No! Don’t kill me! I’m the young master of Cloudrise Sect! I haven’t even begun my Holy Sect plan! I don’t want to die…”

His eyes grew vacant. He couldn’t comprehend how everything had gone so wrong.

At the same time, a blood spike shot at Chen Fei —

—but Chen Fei sensed it in time and leapt away gracefully.

The Blood Soul Beast turned its feral gaze toward him.

A simple, ancient sigil appeared on Chen Fei’s forehead — the bloodline seal of the Chen clan.

The beast instantly recoiled, as if struck by lightning.

“A Chen clan member?! You dare appear before me?! KNEEL!”

Its body surged with a crimson aura as it exerted its oppressive bloodline suppression.

Normally, it could completely suppress anyone with Chen blood.

But this time… nothing happened.

The beast blinked, confused.

Why wasn’t this Chen clan member affected?

Chen Fei didn’t care. He simply drew his great sword from behind his back.

“Qin Shuang! You think hiding behind that beast will save you? I’ll kill you all the same!”

His cold voice rang out as he glared at her.

Qin Shuang’s face shifted, and she shouted, “Senior Blood Soul, kill him! I’ll take you to the Blood Core and help you restore your strength!”

“Girl, are you teaching me what to do?” the beast growled, turning its head and glaring coldly at her.

Qin Shuang took a step back in fear. “I… I’m the direct disciple of Master Dingshan!”

“If not for that, do you think I’d even speak to you?”

With that icy rebuke, Chen Fei had already leapt into the air — greatsword in hand — ready to strike.
