Xiong Rudong and his allies face increasingly powerful and numerous flesh demons, a side effect of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon. Despite their efforts and some casualties among their ranks, the demons continue to grow stronger. Just as the situation becomes dire, Fang Yu arrives, intending to face the horde of over a dozen powerful demons alone, much to the alarm of his allies.

The fiercely accumulating Qi waves centered on Fang Yu, forming a colossal vortex resembling a storm's eye.

Bolstered by the enhanced Qi Gathering Technique, Fang Yu channeled even more Qi into the vortex, generating more potent currents! And... endurance!

Qi flow, Qi flow, Qi flow!

Innumerable streams of Qi converged rapidly into a dense mass at the center, creating a fearsome gravitational pull!

"Roar?!"

Numerous Defiled Blood Clone Demons detected the disturbance and attempted to intervene, but it was too late!

They had all been drawn within the range of the Qi Explosion Vortex's sweeping airflow!

The spiraling Qi flow, expanding with amplified force, instantly engulfed all the Defiled Blood Clone Demons!

The immense suction held them captive within the spiraling currents, offering no chance of escape! They were compelled to follow the vortex's momentum, spinning uncontrollably within the storm, disoriented and stripped of any movement, merely tumbling with the currents.

Under the brutal scouring of the high-speed airflow, the demons' bodies were ripped apart, spewing copious amounts of blood!

The spilled blood mingled with the storm, instantly imbuing it with a crimson hue; the Qi Explosion Vortex became a blood-red tempest in an instant.

At a single glance, it truly resembled a cataclysmic storm.

Within this crimson tempest, damage numbers began to materialize above the demons.

-168!

-164!

-199!

-124!

-151!

-187!

-132!

-198!

...

A relentless barrage of damage values showered Fang Yu, akin to the satisfying spectacle of a classic online game where area-of-effect attacks decimate waves of enemies.

The advancement in the Qi Gathering Technique increased the overall Qi reserves within.

At this juncture, Fang Yu could sustain the Qi Explosion Vortex, keeping it temporarily condensed rather than dispersing immediately! This contrasted with the prior single, all-encompassing burst.

In truth, the former demands greater skill than the latter.

Because a singular, explosive release of the Qi Explosion Vortex signifies the completion of a whole cycle, coordinating with internal meridian pathways to execute a predetermined energy output.

Conversely, the former maintains the Qi within a defined boundary, continuously injecting more, placing a heavier strain on the Qi itself and requiring superior control; even a minor misstep could lead to Qi leakage and the premature collapse of the vortex.

Fortunately, Fang Yu had deployed the Qi Explosion Vortex numerous times, becoming intimately familiar with the process, thus minor enhancements would not pose a significant challenge.

Modifying the Qi Explosion Vortex in such a way was an achievement Yuan Hongxin had never realized, representing a novel application Fang Yu had devised by leveraging the vortex's inherent characteristics.

Although it was merely an extension of control over the existing Qi vortex, it unveiled a new realm of possibilities, sparking numerous innovative concepts in Fang Yu's mind.

Indeed, the total Qi is paramount; possessing a greater quantity of Qi allows for more flexibility in refining techniques.

The blood-red storm, held in a condensed state, ceaselessly generated potent Qi Blades. These blades, carried by the currents of the crimson tempest like passengers on a swift chariot, were amplified by both the storm and their own momentum, spiraling onwards and accumulating power with each rotation!

And as these Qi Blades swept through the demons trapped within the blood-red storm, they viciously carved into their flesh repeatedly, inflicting damage akin to a thousand cuts!

-264!

-240!

-266!

-299!

-231!

-287!

...

Power amplified!

Qi Blades materialized constantly, appearing at any location within the blood-red storm.

Furthermore, with every complete revolution around the blood-red storm, the Qi Blades' power surged!

The enhanced Qi Blades, upon slicing through the demons' bodies, became even more lethal!

However, Fang Yu's overall Qi reserves were rapidly diminishing, and he could no longer sustain the Qi Explosion Vortex.

Several seconds had elapsed...

Perhaps five seconds?

Fang Yu was unsure.

He only knew he had to act immediately.

Otherwise, once the Qi Explosion Vortex dissipated, the invaluable opportunity he had painstakingly created would be squandered.

As if isolating the scene from the outside world, beyond the barrier of Qi flow, the members of the Forest Snake Gang watched with astonished, bewildered, and shocked expressions.

Meanwhile, at the storm's epicenter, a profound calm prevailed.

Only the core of the Qi barrier was a maelstrom, akin to a doomsday tempest, continuously swirling, fierce as blades, relentlessly shredding the demons.

The potent and precise control ability ensnared all demons within the tempest.

The continuous output of Qi Blades steadily depleted the demons' vitality.

At first glance, the current manifestation of the Qi Explosion Vortex appeared to possess less raw power compared to its single, explosive iteration.

Yet in truth, the constantly appearing damage numbers nearing thousands on each demon's body had swiftly accumulated.

Lifting his gaze slightly towards the heavens.

Fang Yu drew his blade.

Bang!!

With a forceful stomp!

He plunged into the thick of battle!

With a swift motion, he entered the crimson tempest!

"Mr. Diao?!" Xiong Rudong shouted in astonishment from beyond the swirling vortex.

"Fear not, that is merely his Qi Force technique!" Tian Xinghan replied gravely.

"Not ordinary, but were I in that situation..." Qiu Xiaoping's mind immediately conjured her own participation.

Indeed, she regarded Fang Yu as a peer.

And this storm of blood, without question, seemed riddled with flaws to her!

Skilled in air coagulation barriers, she felt little apprehension towards such a confined tempest, moreover, this sanguine storm exhibited discernible vulnerabilities.

For instance, its potent force demanded continuous manipulation.

Alternatively, breaching the storm's core or exiting its perimeter would grant effortless liberation.

In essence, against a formidable adversary of comparable standing, this maneuver might prove largely ineffectual.

However, under the prevailing circumstances, it was... unequivocally effective.

Precisely! A flawless execution!
