Thinking of this, Demon Emperor Lietian cast a loving glance at the Little Demon Immortal he cherished like a treasure.

"Be good, my daughter. Your father can only accompany you this far. The road ahead, you will have to walk it yourself. Take good care of your mother and find Li Chen!"

After the Demon Emperor spoke, he pushed her away before the Little Demon Immortal could react.

The Little Demon Immortal realized what had happened and cried out, tears brimming.

"Father!"

Seeing the Demon Emperor prepared to risk his life, the black sword frowned.

This Demon Emperor had reached the Late-stage of Divinity Transformation. If truly pushed, he might self-destruct, bringing everyone down with him, which would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, his gaze fell on the Little Demon Immortal.

The scenes earlier showed that the Demon Emperor had deep feelings for his daughter.

As long as he captured this Little Demon Immortal, it would be akin to holding the Demon Emperor’s weakness.

With this in mind, the black sword immediately signaled to Yun Ying.

Yun Ying understood, letting out a chilling laugh, heading straight for the Little Demon Immortal.

The Demon Emperor was shocked, wanting to intercept Yun Ying.

However, he was blocked by the black sword.

At this moment, the Little Demon Immortal was in turmoil, her thoughts entirely focused on her father, unaware of Yun Ying who closed in like a bat.

Unawares, she was cornered!

Ling Shuanghua, Ximen Qingxue, Zhao Yuqing, and Lian Hongshang, the four women, wanted to rescue the Little Demon Immortal.

But, their cultivation was too weak to be a match for Yun Ying.

With just one encounter, they were all pushed back.

Just as despair set in, a bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the sky.

"Let’s see who dares touch my woman!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

These nine words, each like thunder, traveled across mountains and valleys from afar.

In an instant, a figure appeared, taking steps in the air, surrounded by blossoming lotuses.

Everyone immediately looked up in unison.

"It’s Li Chen!"

Lian Hongshang, Zhao Yuqing, Ling Shuanghua, and Ximen Qingxue saw Li Chen’s arrival, each filled with excitement.

The Jiuzhou Alliance members rejoiced.

No matter what, with Li Chen’s arrival, they would have a morale boost, stabilizing the troops.

A shift in power!

Old Demon Ouyang and others felt as if in mourning, glaring at Li Chen with hate-filled eyes.

But when Li Chen’s gaze swept over, they bowed their heads, unable to meet his eyes.

Let’s see who dares touch my woman!

The Little Demon Immortal, hearing this, was first shocked, then overjoyed.

Moments later, her delicate face blushed with an enticing red hue.

Upon seeing Li Chen’s arrival, the black sword and Yun Ying also shifted their focus to him.

Yun Ying was closely tied with Lanhe!

It was clearly a meeting of foes, fueling his fury.

Forgetting about the Little Demon Immortal temporarily, his bulging red eyes turned towards Li Chen, hurling a hysterical roar.

"Was it you who killed my sixth senior brother?"

Li Chen heard Yun Ying’s question, furrowing his brows slightly, and asked probingly, "Sixth senior brother, you mean Lanhe?"

Yun Ying roared furiously, "Yes, it’s Lanhe!"

Li Chen nodded and replied, "Indeed, it was I who killed Lanhe!"

After speaking, he raised an eyebrow, glancing at Yun Ying and the black sword, coldly asking:

"So, do you two also wish to join him?"

As long as their master God Monarch Yunlong did not appear, Li Chen feared nothing, thus his tone carried a relaxed and mocking air.

Yun Ying, enraged by Li Chen’s overly audacious words, roared hysterically:

"Arrogant brat, today I’ll make you pay with your life, trapped between life and death!"

While these furious shouts echoed through the air, Yun Ying’s entire being transformed into a blood-red cyclone, sweeping towards Li Chen with the force to overturn mountains.

Li Chen glanced back at the Little Demon Immortal, Lian Hongshang, and the others, expressionless, said: "You all step back, watch how I slaughter this monster!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Ximen Qingxue, the Little Demon Immortal, and Lian Hongshang exchanged glances and nodded, retreating to a safe area.

Seeing that the Little Demon Immortal and the others had retreated to safety, Li Chen felt reassured without concerns.

He casually summoned the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, gently caressing the sword, stating: "Old friend, it’s your time to unleash again!"

The Seven-star Dragon Abyss seemed to understand Li Chen’s words, vibrating violently and emitting a soul-capturing dragon’s roar.

Since devouring the Demon Dragon’s Divine Soul in the forbidden depths of the Heavenly Sword Mountain, its power surged like a rocket, achieving a qualitative breakthrough.

Feeling the Seven-star Dragon Abyss’s overwhelming battle intent, Li Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile.

Immediately, he raised the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, its blade gleaming coldly, pointing directly at Yun Ying.

"Which evil spirit dares to confront death?"

Having spoken, Li Chen swung his sword forward.

The condensed and unmatched sword shadow, like a rainbow piercing the sun, extended towards Yun Ying.

Yun Ying, shocked at the sight, dared not underestimate, hastily summoning his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Blood Shadow Bellyband, to form an impenetrable defense, hoping to fend off Li Chen’s attack.

"Clang!"

The indomitably condensed sword shadow collided with the Blood Shadow Bellyband, bursting forth lights like volcanic lava, illuminating the entire night sky red.

"Break for me!"

At the life-and-death standoff’s instant, Li Chen fiercely shouted.

Immediately, the air filled with the sound of a dragon’s roar from the sword’s edge.

Following this, a dragon shadow formed, opened its massive jaws, and lunged towards the head on Yun Ying’s shoulder.

"Ah!"

The head on Yun Ying’s shoulder was bitten by the Dragon Soul, blood spraying, a ghastly sight.

The whole being let out a wild scream, retreating rapidly.

Seeing Yun Ying retreat, Li Chen planned to pursue and finish him off.

But at this critical moment, a black lightning bolt suddenly dashed through the air, standing between him and Yun Ying.

"Clang!"

The clash of swords resembled thunderous booms, causing the nearby space to violently tremble as if about to collapse.

"Stomp stomp stomp!"

"Stomp stomp stomp!"

The two figures simultaneously retreated.

Each left a deep, endless groove in the void, like a meandering Milky Way, seemingly cleaving the entire sky.

Both halted after retreating over a hundred steps, regaining their balance.

Then, as if in synchrony, they stared at each other.

Gaze meeting like storms clashing, sword gleams sparking bloodshed...
