Bang!

A loud sound echoed from somewhere, followed by a fiery red shadow flying backward and finally falling into the Big Lake, splashing water.

"Chi Yan!"

When everyone turned their gaze to that place, Ling Wan, with sharp eyes and the earliest acquaintance with Fire Cloud Rat Chi Yan, although not seeing very clearly, exclaimed at this moment.

The fiery red shadow that flew backward into the lake was Chi Yan, who had just been harassing Wei Duzheng on the outskirts, but with his low-level Silver Grade Heavenly Demon strength, the harassment was very limited.

So, even against three opponents, Wei Duzheng, the President of Spirit Fighting Commerce, held the upper hand. If it weren't for the elusive Hu Ying'er, he would have already killed these two demons and one person.

But the gap between Great Rank Cultivations can't be made up by numbers. Hu Ying'er and Chi Yan Red Feather managed to hold on for so long, which was already a great Creation.

Earlier, Lu Tianrun's death triggered extreme killing intent in Wei Duzheng, his power suddenly increased, greatly intensifying the pressure on the two demons and the person, making it almost unbearable.

Yet, even Wei Duzheng didn't expect that the esteemed Vice Palace Master of Wuyan Palace would fail to Yun Xiao's hand in one move and be scared to retreat.

In fact, from Lu Tianrun being killed to Fu Lingxue intervening, to his cheek being burned in fright, all happened in a very short time.

During this time, Wei Duzheng finally seized the opportunity to punch Chi Yan on the mouse body, reverting him to his original form, eventually falling into the lake, life or death unknown.

Chi Yan was quite unlucky; back at Denghai Pier, he was the first to be defeated and plunged into the East Sea, nearly losing his life.

Though Chi Yan's severe injury from that incident led to a blessing in disguise, achieving the Heavenly Demon level, the opponents he faced this time were far stronger than those earlier.

Wei Duzheng wouldn't care about the life and death of a small rat. After opening a breakthrough, he backhanded an attack, forcibly sending that fiery red bird-shaped Vein Demon flying.

This instantly put Red Feather in the same plight as Chi Yan. Fortunately, she had the bloodline of an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, which made her condition much better than Chi Yan's. She didn't faint but her breath was extremely weak.

Thus, Red Feather and Chi Yan were both seriously wounded, and only Hu Ying'er was left barely holding on, her eyes flickering with a resolute light, determined not to retreat.

At this critical moment of life and death, though Hu Ying'er was another personality, the scene of her encounter with Yun Xiao at Yulei Mountain flooded her mind crystal clear.

Hu Ying'er knew very well that if this President of Spirit Fighting Commerce broke through, Yun Xiao would face great danger. No matter how formidable the youth was, it was impossible for him to fight across a Great Rank against Wei Duzheng in the Heavenly Rank Realm, right?

"Since you insist on courting death, don't blame me, the President, then!"

Seeing the girl standing resolutely without stepping back, intending to continue blocking him, Wei Duzheng's hostility turned into endless killing intent.

Since he decided to eliminate Yun Xiao, everyone or every Vein Demon related to Yun Xiao had to be exterminated, especially after witnessing the talent and strength of Yun Xiao's companions.

Whether it's this girl named Hu Ying'er or those two Vein Demons he seriously injured, or those watching, Wei Duzheng felt a strong sense of threat from these people or demons.

"In that case, let's seize this opportunity to kill them all?"

Wei Duzheng had the confidence to obliterate them before they grew stronger, an extremely thrilling act.

So, the next moment, a powerful strike was heading towards Hu Ying'er.

Already nearly exhausted of Qi, Hu Ying'er, even with full belief, couldn't sustain against Wei Duzheng of the late-stage Lingyun Realm alone.

Bang!

Under this blow, blood oozed from Hu Ying'er's mouth, yet she forcefully swallowed the blood about to gush out.

Stepping back several steps, Hu Ying'er remained blocking in front of Wei Duzheng, which made the latter feel extremely annoyed. Was it worth betting her life for that boy Yun Xiao?

"Hmph, let's see how many more times you can hold off?"

Having raised a killing intent, Wei Duzheng showed no mercy; since this woman wanted to die, he would fulfill her wish. Thus, his second attack arrived as expected.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the following three strikes, Hu Ying'er barely resisted, but ultimately due to the difference in strength, she was bombarded, spitting large amounts of blood, her graceful figure collapsing powerlessly on the ground by Wei Duzheng's third strike.

"Ying'er!"

Seeing this scene from afar, Liu Hanyi and the others wore expressions of grief.

Although their time with Hu Ying'er was not long, in just this brief period, they all grew to like this kind-hearted girl from the depths of their hearts.

Now, seeing Hu Ying'er fight to the death without retreat, it was all to give Yun Xiao a sliver of a chance. Such a heroic and resolute scene deeply resonated with all the girls.

"Die!"

Seeing Hu Ying'er fallen to the ground, still blocking his path, this stubbornness made Wei Duzheng furious, and he let out a deep shout.

"No!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Amidst the distant screams of the girls, Wei Duzheng's right foot viciously kicked Hu Ying'er's lower abdomen, sending her entire delicate body flying through the air, landing several dozen feet away.

"It's hopeless!"

Seeing this scene, Lianyun Mountain Sky Poison Institute's Dean, Qingmu Wu, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. With his Power of Soul, he could naturally sense the immense strength contained in Wei Duzheng's kick.

At least, as a Middle-stage Floating Life Realm cultivator, Qingmu Wu knew he could not take that kick, even at his peak, he would likely have to avoid it first.

Moreover, Wei Duzheng's kick was extremely vicious, directly aimed at Hu Ying'er's lower abdomen. Even if this astonishing girl survived, her Dantian, the vital point, would probably be ruined.

Hearing Qingmu Wu's sigh, beside him, Qian Sanyuan and Lian Yuluo's faces revealed a trace of the sadness of the fox mourning the death of the rabbit. They seemed to foresee the outcome once Yun Xiao also fell.

Since Wuyan Palace and Douling Commerce had decided to break up with Lianyun Mountain Xuanyin Hall, if the other side achieved a complete victory, there would probably be no one left alive from these two factions on Impermanence Island.

The current situation was already sliding towards the favor of Wuyan Palace Douling Commerce. Relying solely on Xue Tianao, there was no way to reverse the tide.

Once Wei Duzheng kills Yun Xiao, and joins forces with Wu Zhukong to deal with Xue Tianao, everything would fall under the control of these two factions.

And looking at the current battle situation, it was inevitably heading in this direction, seemingly soon, only the few experts of Wuyan Palace and Douling Commerce would remain on Impermanence Island.

"Hmm?"

While Qingmu Wu and Qian Sanyuan lamented, Wei Duzheng, who had kicked Hu Ying'er, even though sensing the girl was already at her limit, couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

Because Wei Duzheng discovered that the girl, who had taken a powerful kick to the abdomen, even if she had fallen back to the Half-step Heavenly Rank, didn't seem as miserable as he imagined.

In fact, her Dantian wasn't completely destroyed, still faintly emitting some Meridian Qi, leaving Wei Duzheng puzzled.

The President of Douling Commerce didn't know that Hu Ying'er was no ordinary cultivator's fragile body; she possessed the rare Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, not even seen in Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.

This physique would automatically unleash some hidden strength within the body to protect its owner when facing a crisis.

When she took Wei Duzheng's heavy strike just now, Hu Ying'er indeed was directly knocked back to her original form, her cultivation regressing to half-step Heavenly Rank. But the formidable power of the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body prevented her from being killed.

When countless lotus petals appeared on Hu Ying'er's skin beneath her clothes, her Dantian was ultimately protected, but at this moment, she was unable to continue fighting.

"Let's deal with Yun Xiao first!"

Although somewhat surprised by Hu Ying'er's special nature, at this moment, Wei Duzheng did not want to waste more time on this girl. He immediately turned his gaze to the young man in coarse clothes.

At this moment, Yun Xiao was seizing the opportunity to finish off Wuyan Palace's Vice Palace Master, Fu Lingxue, but little did he know that in this instant, a deadly danger was already approaching.

"Die!"

As Yun Xiao's low shout fell, and when his right hand holding the Dragon Taming Sword slashed towards Fu Lingxue's neck, a similar word was uttered from behind him.

"Die!"

This voice was naturally from Wei Duzheng, who acted later but arrived first. Even though he had no particular friendship with Fu Lingxue, now that they were on the same side, losing one Heavenly Rank expert could lead to some unpredictable changes.

As the chilling shout fell, Yun Xiao felt a powerful force attacking from behind. He immediately knew that if he did not evade, he might be annihilated in an instant.

However, at this moment, Yun Xiao found it too late to use the Shadow Clone Meridian Techniques. Moreover, the blow from the Late-stage Lingyun Realm expert had already used Sky Power to bind him, leaving him with no escape.

Boom!

Wei Duzheng's gigantic handprint, condensed with Meridian Qi, pressed down, followed by a loud explosion, stirring up dust, causing despair to flicker on the faces of the not-too-distant Liu Hanyi, Mo Qing, and others.
