His entire body was trembling, and blood was pouring out of all of his orifices, while his battle armor was in shambles. 

He and Wu Zhangkong were virtually identical in power to begin with, but Wu Zhangkong's four-word battle armor provided him with enhancements that were far too significant.

The disparity in their battle armor placed Dark Hummingbird at a huge disadvantage, and having sustained such severe injuries, there was no way he would be able to turn the tables.

"Long Bing... For Long Bing's sake, you can't kill me..." he implored as he looked up at Wu Zhangkong, but his stingers were slowly being forced lower and lower by the Skyfrost Sword.

A furious look appeared in Wu Zhangkong's eyes. "You have no right to say her name! Did you ever see her as your daughter? In your eyes, she was only ever a tool, perhaps only a slightly more trustworthy tool at best. If you had harbored even a shred of love for her, you wouldn't have hurt her like that, then abandoned her to die! If it weren't for the fact that I was also severely wounded at the time or if you just had the tiniest shred of human decency, one of us could've taken her back to Shrek Academy, and she could've been saved!"

Tears were already shimmering in Wu Zhangkong's eyes as he spoke.

At the time, both he and Long Bing had been severely wounded, and after telling him everything, Long Bing fainted from her injuries.

The number one healing system Soul Master was situated right in Shrek Academy, and if Long Bing could've been taken to Yali, then she would've definitely been saved.

However, Dark Hummingbird had left without so much as a backward glance, and Wu Zhangkong had done everything in his power to get Long Bing the treatment she needed, but he was only able to crawl for about 20 meters with Long Bing on his back before he also fainted, leaving a trail of blood behind him.

When he woke up again, Long Bing was already dead, and he was also plagued by severe chronic internal injuries.

This was why Wu Zhangkong had still only been a Soul Emperor when Tang Wulin first met him. Only after he returned to Shrek Academy and had those chronic injuries treated by Yali did he recover his aptitude, thereby allowing him to progress rapidly once again. At one point, he was considered to be the likeliest heir to the Sea God's Pavilion Master!

Not only did Wu Zhangkong's heart not waver in the slightest upon hearing Dark Hummingbird mention Long Bing, he only became even more determined to kill this abhorrent man.

What kind of father could be so cruel even to his own daughter?

"For the sake of all of humanity and Long Bing, it's time for you to die!" Wu Zhangkong roared as his battle armor glowed with scintillating light, and he plunged down his Skyfrost Sword with all his might.

The stingers were snapped, and the Skyfrost Sword was plunged viciously into Dark Hummingbird's chest.

Even in the instant that he perished, Dark Hummingbird's eyes were wide open as he stared up at Wu Zhangkong. Perhaps it was remorse or perhaps it was indignation, but a tear slowly slid down his face.

In that instant, it was as if he could see that little girl again, the one who would uneasily cling onto his leg and call him father; it was as if he could see the same little girl who would persist in her cultivation through gritted teeth under his constant scolding.

All of the memories gradually faded into darkness, and Dark Hummingbird permanently left this world.

Wu Zhangkong was panting heavily as bursts of sharp pain radiated through this body from his spine.

That final attack had still injured him to a certain extent, but at this moment, the physical pain was nothing compared with the pain in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Long Bing; I wasn't able to keep my promise to you and killed him in the end. Did you see the tear he shed? Perhaps he was finally feeling some remorse for everything he did. If reincarnation exists, I pray that you won't be his daughter again, and that he'll be reborn as a good and kind man."

Tears were already streaming down his face as he spoke. A tight knot had existed in his heart for so many years, yet it had been completely loosened with the death of Dark Hummingbird.

At this point, the situation on the battlefield was already trending more and more toward a positive direction for the human army. Tang Wulin was able to defeat Demon Sovereign, but he was able to keep her occupied, and without the leadership of the Abyssal Spirit Dragons, the abyssal army was nothing more than a massive horde of abyssal creatures that were only capable of charging ahead recklessly.

In the face of the Blood God Legion and the infrasonic aircrafts led by Zhang Huanyun, countless abyssal creatures were quickly being killed, and the abyssal army was being forced back further and further by the minute.

Tang Wulin was currently unable to enter the battle, but Gu Yuena was like an untouchable deity on the battlefield.

Abyssal creatures were dropping like flies in her presence, and her Silver Dragon Spear was devouring massive quantities of abyssal energy.

Under her leadership, six abyssal emperors had already fallen to her Silver Dragon Spear in a short time, and one resounding boom after another rang out from the abyssal passageway, clearly indicating that more abyssal levels were collapsing.

Meanwhile, Zang Xin was engaged in a battle of white-hot intensity with his opponent.

The Holy Spirit Cult was a sworn enemy of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, so as soon as the powerful beings of the Holy Spirit Cult emerged, Zang Xin immediately went after Dark Blood Demon, while Cao Dezhi challenged Ghost Emperor.

Dark Blood Demon was a tall and thin middle-aged man whose entire body was concealed within a large dark red cloak. His martial soul was very peculiar; it was a dark red vengeful spirit, which was the so-called Blood Demon that his nickname was derived from.

Dark Blood Demon was also a Limit Douluo of the demigod level, and his powers were of a virtually identical level to Zang Xin, so their battle was extremely fierce.

Dark Blood Demon excelled in casting all types of curses, making him a difficult opponent for any Soul Master.

This wasn't the first time the two of them had clashed, and it was none other than Dark Blood Demon who had been responsible for the deaths of Tang Wulin's foster parents.

Among the four heavenly monarchs, Dark Blood Demon was renowned for being mysterious and untraceable.

At this moment, there was a dark red figure with an inky-black face standing behind him. The figure was roughly three meters tall, and it had a pair of fiery red eyes that were burning like flames.

The nine soul rings around him were all black, and they seemed to fuse as one his black and red color scheme.

The vengeful spirit wasn't humanoid in shape. Instead, it appeared to be in the shape of a miniature mound, and even the air around it seemed to be slowly being corrupted by its presence.

Dark Blood Demon was definitely the purest type of Evil Soul Master. When his martial soul first awakened, it was very weak, and no soul power arose within him, so it appeared to be a trash martial soul that couldn't be cultivated. As a result, Dark Blood Demon was often made fun of by his peers, particularly those who had successfully awakened martial souls and soul power.

His parents had passed away when he was still a child, and it was his grandfather who had raised him, but his grandfather also passed away due to illness when he was eight years old. It was following his grandfather's passing that Dark Blood Demon's life began to take a turn.

On the day that his grandfather passed away, his martial soul suddenly appeared on its own.

At the time, his martial soul had resembled a ball of air, and it made a devouring motion toward his grandfather's corpse. After that, something seemed to have been sucked out of his grandfather's body, and he could even hear his grandfather's cries of agony, but he didn't know what was going on.

In the wake of that incident, his martial soul displayed itself for the first time, and it was a malicious vengeful spirit.

After devouring his grandfather's soul, the vengeful spirit took on a faint red hue, finally making it somewhat visible.

What was even more surprising to him was that a burst of unprecedented energy had appeared in his body following that incident.
