Dao Ling laughed heartily, "Nangong Yin, after three hundred years, you're still this foolish!"

Nangong Yin's face turned pale, veins bulging on her forehead. But her magic was being dispelled by the Demon-Slaying Sword, which had been passed down from ancient times; it was the sword of the first Immortal Emperor, now possessing its own intelligence and hard to shake off.

The sword radiated immense power, attempting to suppress Nangong Yin. She refused to kneel, pushing back against the blade's pressure.

Zhang Gao and Yuan Jin renewed their attack, coming at Nangong Yin from both sides. She was already exhausting herself resisting the power of the Demon-Slaying Sword when their palm winds struck her simultaneously, causing her shoulders to sag.

Yet she still did not yield; the ground beneath her began to collapse, her feet sinking into the mud and rocks.

"Lord Demon!"

Lei Shuang, blood foaming at her lips, swiftly dodged to Nangong Yin's side, reaching to grab the Demon-Slaying Sword. But the moment her palm touched the hilt, a sudden flash of golden light erupted from the sword.

With a thunderous crack, Lei Shuang was sent flying back, tumbling as she hit the ground.

It was the first time Lei Shuang had been repelled by a lightning strike she knew so well, leaving her in disbelief.

She supported herself on her knee, but her other hand went numb from her palm to her forearm. Looking down, she saw her palm charred and flesh torn.

The Demon-Slaying Sword augmented its power against all evil beings, and demons were no exception.

In her daze, a whooshing sound erupted as Zhang Gao aimed a deadly palm strike at her life.

A hand reached from behind, grabbing her collar and pulling her swiftly away to evade the blow.

The azure arrow lights covered their retreat, and Jiang Ying threw a few willow leaf projectiles, shouting at Lei Shuang, "Are you trying to die?! What are you dawdling for?!"

Snapping back to reality, Lei Shuang wiped the blood from her mouth and grinned, "Not anymore."

Jiang Ying shot her a glance before letting go. "Don't die."

The human realm experts, surrounded by corpse puppets, finally woke up to the reality.

They had all been deceived!

The earlier rumors had some truth; those small sects that had been exterminated truly were from the Fuyun Sect, which really was manufacturing corpse puppets!

Dao Ling's true objective was not to stop Nangong Yin from breaking the seal, but to seize Yan Yuanqing's soul orb!

Just as Dao Ling was about to retreat with the soul orb, preparing to use spatial magic to escape, a powerful force struck his hand, causing the soul orb to slip from his grasp.

"!"

Dao Ling whirled around in fury. "Yao Shenzi!"

The one who had suddenly intervened to intercept Dao Ling and knock the golden soul orb away was none other than Yao Shenzi.

The soul orb soared high into the air, and a blue shadow dashed up to catch it in full view of everyone.

Upon recognizing this person, Dao Ling's expression twisted with rage. "You don't know when to quit!"

He ignored Yao Shenzi entirely, letting his palm wind strike him while he charged straight for Ren Qingyue.

This insignificant junior from the Void Refinement stage dared to snatch the soul orb from him!
