"Such powerful palm techniques!"

The Little Demon Immortal clutched her chest with one hand, her face pale as frost.

Yun Ying looked at the Little Demon Immortal and let out a chilling, bizarre laugh.

"Hehe, your skin is so tender, you must taste delicious!"

Before the laughter faded, he extended his scarlet tongue, licking his lips, and dove down like a bat, straight towards the Little Demon Immortal.

"Little Demon Immortal, watch out!"

Seeing the Little Demon Immortal in danger, Zhao Yuqing, Ling Shuanghua, and Ximen Qingxue were all shocked and turned pale.

Immediately, without hesitation, they each displayed their Divine Skills, trying to stop Yun Ying’s attack on the Little Demon Immortal.

"Moonlight Slash!"

"Ice Dragon Roar!"

"The White Clouds Emerge from the Deep!"

...

Various attacks, like shooting stars tearing through the night sky, targeted Yun Ying.

However, for a strong cultivator at the Late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm like Yun Ying, these attacks were like drizzle, not worth mentioning.

He snorted dismissively, waved his sleeve, and raised a blood-red gang wind, blocking the attacks from Ling Shuanghua, Ximen Qingxue, Zhao Yuqing, and others.

The Little Demon Immortal, seeing the monster Yun Ying rushing towards her, was terrified, her face losing its color. She immediately manipulated the Lotus Platform, rising against the sky, preparing to dodge the attack.

Seeing this, Yun Ying let out a sinister laugh.

"Haha, little girl, you can’t escape my grasp. Just surrender obediently, and I promise your death will be swift and painless!"

Just as Yun Ying was about to attack the Little Demon Immortal again, a sudden thunderous roar echoed from the void.

"Leave my daughter alone!"

With the landing of this thunderous voice, a majestic middle-aged man appeared, standing with a spear.

Seeing the newcomer, the Little Demon Immortal was overjoyed, wiping her tears and shouting, "Father!"

Indeed, the newcomer was Demon Emperor Lietian!

He held the Fiery Flame Spear, standing atop the clouds like the Undefeated War God.

However, when he looked at his precious daughter, the Little Demon Immortal, his eyes were filled with tenderness and love.

"Little Demon Immortal, are you alright?"

The Little Demon Immortal gently wiped away the blood at the corner of her mouth and said, "Father, I’m fine!"

Faced with Demon Emperor Lietian, even the usually arrogant Yun Ying dared not be complacent.

This Demon Emperor’s cultivation was on par with his, at the Late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm.

Who would’ve thought that such a spiritually barren planet as Earth would have someone reach the Late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm? Truly incredible.

"You are the one who hurt my daughter; I will make you pay!"

Without hesitation, Demon Emperor Lietian raised the Fiery Flame Spear, striking out a fire-red shadow towards Yun Ying.

The flames burned through the void, erupting with crackling sounds like fireworks.

Yun Ying dared not be complacent, summoning the Blood-Red Bellyband, which danced in the air, forming a defensive barrier.

"Clang!"

The Fiery Flame Spear collided with the Blood-Red Bellyband, immediately bursting into brilliant fireworks-like sparks.

Instantly, the entire night was transformed into a scene of intersecting reds and whites.

"Step step step!"

"Step step step!"

Yun Ying and Demon Emperor simultaneously were forced back.

Both of them drew a white line in the void, extending in the direction of their retreat.

From afar, it seemed almost as if this white line was going to tear the entire sky apart.

"Hehe, looks like if I don’t get serious, I really can’t catch you!"

Yun Ying let out a sinister laugh, his figure drifting like a ghostly phantom in the void.

Seeing this, Demon Emperor Lietian’s brows furrowed tightly like an iron cable, chained together.

"What an uncanny movement technique!"

Before this exclamation could land, Yun Ying suddenly extended a bloody claw, grabbing towards Demon Emperor’s Life Gate at the back.

Demon Emperor was already prepared, and at the moment Yun Ying appeared and acted, his entire figure retreated backwards in an unbelievable arc, like a kite with a broken string.

Seeing his usually successful killer move miss, Yun Ying’s face changed.

The retreating Demon Emperor abruptly shot into the air, the Fiery Flame Spear in his hand roaring out, brimming with flames, pushing towards Yun Ying.

Yun Ying was horrified. Due to the less than hundred-zhang distance between them, he had no time to change his tactics and was forced to retreat continuously.

Just as Demon Emperor Lietian was preparing to seize the moment and kill this monster, sudden thunderous black clouds rolled in the void, pressing down like a thousand troops and horses, roaring forth.

Immediately, a black lightning bolt tore through the void, striking towards Demon Emperor.

Demon Emperor, shocked by this unexpected strike, had no choice but to abandon his chance to kill Yun Ying, immediately raising his spear to block.

"Clang!"

The black lightning, not deviating, struck his spear, erupting in dazzling sparks.

"Step step step!"

Demon Emperor was no match for the blow, forced back, his half body seemingly numb and unresponsive.

It wasn’t until he retreated hundreds of zhang, crashing into a mountain to stabilize his balance.

"Father!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The Little Demon Immortal, seeing her father suffering heavy injuries, hurriedly manipulated the Lotus Platform to rush over.

Demon Emperor looked at the Little Demon Immortal. As he attempted to speak, he suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

In that moment, the black clouds dispersed, revealing a mysterious man in a black robe.

Seeing the newcomer, Yun Ying immediately approached.

"Fifth Senior Brother, you’ve arrived!"

The newcomer was the black sword!

Black sword glanced coldly at Yun Ying and said, "Seventh Junior Brother, you’re quite disappointing!"

Hearing Black Sword’s words, Yun Ying’s face, already flushed red, turned to the color of a pig’s liver.

"Fifth Senior Brother, I was just careless for a moment. Now, I’ll go kill him and redeem myself!"

As he spoke, Yun Ying was about to advance to kill Demon Emperor.

However, Black Sword stopped him.

"No rush, I have questions to ask!"

Upon hearing Black Sword’s words, Yun Ying reluctantly held back.

Black Sword’s sharp eyes coldly swept over everyone, finally resting on Demon Emperor Lietian.

"I only have one question, where is Li Chen?"

Upon hearing Black Sword’s question, Demon Emperor realized these people were here to seek revenge on Li Chen.

Thinking quickly, he glanced at Little Demon Immortal, urging her to quickly notify Li Chen of the threat and to prepare for the upcoming danger.

The Little Demon Immortal understood, ready to use the Jade Talisman left by Li Chen to contact him.

Seeing the Demon Emperor and others not answering his senior brother’s question, Yun Ying immediately glared with crimson eyes and sternly questioned.

"Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear my senior brother asking you a question?"

Demon Emperor still ignored Yun Ying, calculating in his mind how to break the situation.

This seems to be the only way!

Thinking of this, Demon Emperor Lietian sighed deeply.

The black-robed man’s cultivation was stronger than his, likely having advanced to the legendary Mahayana Divine Monarch Realm.

If they fought head-on, none of them would survive.

The only solution was for him to self-destruct, granting time for Little Demon Immortal and the others to escape.

...

Potian and Lietian, both names referring to the Demon Emperor! (This is purely the author’s mistake, giving the Demon Emperor two names.)

I originally planned to correct this, but since the task is substantial and doesn’t affect reading, I’ll leave it as is. In the future, we’ll consistently use Lietian.
