The Yang couple was shocked; although this sword Qi was not their most lethal technique, they relied on the myriad sword lights to slay devils, achieving success without exception. Yet, these ten devils seemed peculiar, confronting them directly without any harm.

However, there was no time to ponder, as five of the devils had already rushed forward. Fortunately, perhaps due to some change, their charge was not swift, allowing the couple to handle them effortlessly. They simultaneously performed a spell, turning the sword plate, no longer dispersing the sword light but instead condensing it into a beam, forming two flashing Golden Swords, suspended above. Because of the changes between reality and illusion, one used the Yang Skill, the other the Yin Skill, combining both swords, shouting in unison, pointing downwards, unleashing the sword light with full force.

The Yin and Yang Skills combined as one, regardless of how the devils transformed, they could all be struck. Yet, just as the sword light was about to hit, the five devils suddenly scattered, shooting outward, then folding in midair, bypassing the sharpness, abruptly transforming into illusory shadows, attacking where the couple stood, their speed surprisingly more than doubled!

The sudden attack was completely unexpected; the Yang couple never anticipated these devils to deliberately feign a slow flight, only to suddenly reveal their ferocious fangs upon nearing.

Normally, they wouldn’t be so careless, but because Feng Haiyang was pinned by Xun Huaiying, conventional wisdom dictated it was unlikely to manipulate Daoist Skills with such precision. Hence, at this moment, an unexpected flaw appeared.

Upon reaching the Third Realm of Tribulation Water, the devils had completely changed; their flying speed was comparable to the Netherworld Escape Technique, capable of shifting between reality and illusion. Yet, their true danger lay in their newfound spiritual wisdom, allowing them to adeptly confront enemies.

If Feng Haiyang refined all three thousand devils and combined them with the Forbidden Locking Heaven and Earth Skill, he could kill the two with just one encounter.

As the couple was in chaos, suddenly, five rays of golden light struck precisely through each devil, followed by a thunderous hum. Instantly, the Yang Fire erupted, burning them to ashes, revealing a spear adorned with Coiling Dragons.

"The Great Sun Dragon Sparrow Spear?" The Yang couple was slightly dazed, turning to see Huo Xuan and others arriving as well.

At this moment, there was a loud boom below, as Xun Huaiying intercepted Feng Haiyang once again, but the crowd saw the Tribulation Water still undispersed, indicating the person was not truly dead.

Zhong Muqing gazed at the surging river-like Tribulation Water, performing a Thunder Mantra, pointing downward. A mass of blue-black Thunder Radiance burst from his hand, tearing a hundred-zhang breach into it with a crackle, but it couldn’t shake the foundation of the mile-long black turbid water, even if scattered, it might still recondense. He snorted inwardly: "To eliminate this person, it seems the water must be refined."

Huo Xuan spoke solemnly: "Don’t bother with his Death Replacement Technique. With his mana alone, how can he withstand the eight of us? Each time he appears, we kill him once and see how much mana he has to exhaust against us."

The others agreed internally, they had the advantage of numbers. Despite Feng Haiyang’s high Daoist Cultivation, he was just one person; no matter how powerful his mana, it was ultimately limited. If they took turns, they could still kill him through attrition.

Huo Xuan understood clearly that the urgent task was not figuring out how to kill him, but trapping him so he couldn’t escape using the Escape Skill. He raised his hand slightly, and Zhong and Luo immediately understood, each flying in one direction.

The Yang couple also saw their intent, stepping on the Gang Wind, retreating instead of advancing, aiming to cut off Feng Haiyang’s retreat.

Elder Shen was only a step faster than Zhang Yan. His gaze turned, seeing Huo Xuan and the five seizing positions, he didn’t compete for the limelight, intentionally or unintentionally flying towards Zhang Yan’s sword light in the sky.

Feng Haiyang rose from under the Tribulation Water, glanced up, witnessing the actions of the Xuanmen members, discerning their plans. Even if his Daoist Cultivation was superior, being trapped would be disadvantageous, and he wasn’t willing to allow it. Clenching his fist, he struck his chest hard, shouting, spitting out a three-foot white light.

Yang Bi, having witnessed this Divine Skill, sensed something amiss as he was preparing, shouting, "Everyone close your eyes quickly!"

Huo Xuan, having heard from the Yang couple about Feng Haiyang’s Divine Skill capable of bewitching the Divine Soul, immediately closed his eyes, raising his right hand to guard six Great Sun Dragon Sparrow Spears in the sky, shouting, and throwing them downward.

Luo Qingyu and Zhong Muqing did the same, not only closing their eyes to prevent accidents but also sealing their mouth, nose, and ears with Spiritual Energy, while also summoning their Protective Treasure Light.

As everyone closed their eyes, they felt a slight stiffness in their bodies, the sensation growing stronger, realizing they were caught in the Forbidden Locking Heaven and Earth Skill, they all summoned their Dharma Treasures, maintaining high vigilance, afraid the opponent might individually target them.

Feng Haiyang did not intend to do this; although this Divine Skill was immensely powerful, it consumed a lot of mana. Even if he managed to kill one or two desperately, it would be a loss, easily leading to exhaustion.

Even when facing a single opponent, he had the confidence to kill, but once surrounded, he lost his greatest advantage. Thus, he temporarily trapped them, intending to break out of the encirclement and regain control of the battle’s tempo.

He swung his sleeves, transforming into a Yellow Smoke, heading towards the Heavenly Vault. Due to his rapid tunneling speed, he quickly escaped. Yet, just as he reached the Heavenly Vault, he heard thunderous sounds beside him, with dozens of purple Thunder Light striking him precisely, instantly scattering him into a myriad of fragments.
