"Since there’s no choice, I’ll have to step in."

Indeed! The Taihuang Demon couldn’t hold back any longer and stepped forward holding Dual Swords. With Taihuang Demon’s level of combat power, defeating Nangong Shui wouldn’t be much of a problem.

Therefore, facing Taihuang Demon, Nangong Shui felt somewhat uncertain. But at this moment, he did not hesitate.

He drew a Broadsword from his back, focused his eyes, and observed Taihuang Demon’s movements. It’s known that the Demoness in front is quite cunning. The South Heavenly Gate had suffered quite a bit at her hands, hence Nangong Shui was extremely vigilant towards her...

Soon, the battle erupted.

But what was completely unexpected was that it wasn’t a one-on-one duel, but rather a brawl involving everyone. The Holy Daughter of Qingchi, Shen Kong, Jiu Yan, and the Desert’s top four experts joined forces in the battle against Jia Zhenjing alone!

"What happened to the promised duel? What, are we starting a group brawl now?"

Facing the combined assault of the four experts, Jia Zhenjing not only didn’t fall behind but became more courageous in battle. Even Shen Kong from the Divine Sky Sect was utterly astounded; if not for the four joining forces to fight the Dark Angel alone, there’s no way he could defeat the opponent by himself.

"So powerful!"

The old man was battling Huang Fangzi from the Demon God Sect. Growing more alarmed the longer he fought, as the opponent’s cultivation and combat power were clearly superior. The opponent’s cultivation technique had maximized his combat power to the extreme.

The old man’s cultivation now was at most at the early stage of the Third Layer Heaven and wasn’t the strongest Sub-Saint, naturally not as formidable as Jia Zhenjing. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Boom!"

A Divine Rainbow cleaved down from the sky with a thunderous crash. Nangong Shui was mercilessly knocked flying, rolling into the woods, then quickly got up.

Swoosh~ The Divine Light continued advancing. Taihuang Demon delivered a fierce kick to Nangong Shui’s abdomen, with the foot holding hundreds of kilograms of force.

Nangong Shui was kicked rolling once again, quickly rising, kneeling on one knee. His eyes exuded a cold and clear light as he watched Taihuang Demon’s graceful descent in white attire.

"Phew~" Nangong Shui struggled to resist vomiting blood but in the end couldn’t avoid spewing out a mouthful of crimson blood.

"Can you still hold on?" After noticing Nangong Shui’s condition, Jia Zhenjing yelled repeatedly, neck red with intensity.

"Still manageable! Not dead yet!"

Nangong Shui’s angry eyes were filled with fury. South Heavenly Gate was besieged by the Heavenly Punishment Alliance, and he had already prepared to die. At worst, he would perish together with Taihuang Demon.

"Taihuang Demon! I, Nangong Shui, will battle you to the death!!"

Nangong Shui roared furiously, ultimately transforming into a beam of light, swift as lightning, rushing towards Taihuang Demon in a killing attack.

"No!!!"

The old man shouted loudly.

This time Nangong Shui was truly ready to risk his life against Taihuang Demon.

"Hmph! I want to see what power the Blazing Angel still has!" Taihuang Demon swung the Dual Swords around in preparation for the battle. As soon as Nangong Shui entered her Killing Array, she would unleash the most lethal strike without hesitation.

"Nangong Shui! Are you really courting death? If you’re going to die, let’s die together!!!"

Jia Zhenjing was completely enraged, spreading his arms to unleash a formidable presence, blowing everyone away, then morphed into a gale trying to make one last desperate effort!

"Damn it! You can’t die!!! What will happen to us if you die? We promised to die together, don’t you dare die in front of me!!!"

In the gale, Jia Zhenjing was burning with anxiety. But the distance between them was simply too great. Even Jia Zhenjing himself couldn’t guarantee he could counter Taihuang Demon’s Big Killing Move.

"Such a lively scene, how can I miss out?"

Just as Nangong Shui was all set for a life-and-death battle, and Jia Zhenjing appeared to be in despair, suddenly a purple lightning bolt as thick as a bucket struck down from mid-air! If struck by this rampant lightning energy, even if one survived, they’d be severely harmed!

"Who!!!"

Taihuang Demon’s eyes glowed coldly. Feeling the rampant energy contained within that lightning, she dared not move closer. If her strength couldn’t match it, she might be sneak-attacked by Nangong Shui, which would be a significant loss.

"Isn’t the Taishang Sect going overboard now?"

After interrupting Nangong Shui and Taihuang Demon’s decisive battle, Nangong Shui was astonished too. Raising his head to gaze at the dim sky, he saw a crimson shadow descending rapidly towards their desolate earthly ground.

"Beiming Yu!"

Taihuang Demon’s eyes narrowed, raising her head for a glance, instantly recognizing the newcomer.

"Looks like you recognize me." Beiming Yu descended from the sky with undiminished flair. His crimson robe elevated his entire aura to a higher level.

"Damn it, you’re only arriving now. We’re nearly beaten to death."

Currently, Jia Zhenjing was filled with discontent towards her. Knowing the collaboration between the South Heavenly Gate and the Beiming Family wasn’t a secret; they had long awaited the Beiming Family’s intervention, damn it. They were nearly annihilated, and now this woman arrived. Was this intentionally letting the South Heavenly Gate suffer first?

"More than just recognition. Beiming Yu, fish in the north, known for reaching the heavens. Ten years ago, with just his own strength, he rapidly rose in Yanjing. Regardless of how the Lin Family and other families sought to intervene, they ultimately only found their efforts in vain. Evidently, Beiming Yu’s past prowess was formidable."

At this moment, Taihuang Demon sheathed the Dual Swords, gathering with the others. Everyone knew that a formidable character had arrived on the scene, potentially enough to turn the tide of the battle, necessitating heightened caution.

It’s known that ten years ago, Beiming Yu relied solely on his own might to rise powerfully in Yanjing, even though the Lin Family attempted intervention, still didn’t stall the Beiming Family’s ascent!

It’s evident—how terrifying profound the Beiming Family’s might was. Many even speculate there’s an unparalleled tyrant supporting the Beiming Family from within!

"Ha! How could such a grand scene lack my presence? I was, after all, a former Blazing Angel instructor!"

As the atmosphere was growing increasingly tense, a resounding whistle echoed once more from afar.

When everyone located the source of that sound, people’s expressions continually shifted at Taihuang Demon’s side.

"Undefeated!"

Nangong Shui stared with wide eyes, shouting out.

"Whew..."

An aura of dark gold swept through the woods, and Meng Chanji appeared in everyone’s view in an instant, then headed towards Jia Zhenjing, unifying with them.

"Meng Chanji!"

Someone recognized him. But recognising him now was of little use.

"Mr. Meng! As the leader of the Ability Group, are you stepping in today?"

Shen Kong, the wildly arrogant Shen Kong of the Divine Sky Sect once more stepped forward, pointing directly at Meng Chanji’s face.

"What? What did you say? Could you speak a bit louder? This person here is a bit hard of hearing, didn’t quite catch what you were saying."
