Hearing Yue Qingyou's sharp rebuke from afar, the Mad Prisoner and his companions felt their hearts clench, their bodies involuntarily trembling.
The long-awaited battle had momentarily made them lose all restraint, carried away by the thrill of combat.
At this moment, Dao Immortal Mu Kui, standing before the Mad Prisoner, was in a sorry state. Her robes were tattered, her body covered in wounds and dripping with blood, her face a picture of utter despair.
She gasped for breath, her eyes wide with terror as she stared at the Mad Prisoner and Chi Huan.
Behind her, Chi Huan twirled several golden rings in his hand, his expression a mixture of excitement and mockery as he gazed down at her.
"My apologies~ The Left Protector has given the order, so I must send you on your way~"
"I'm truly reluctant to part with you~"
*Damn it!*
*What kind of creatures are these two demons?!*
Dao Immortal Mu Kui cried out inwardly.
The burly, mountain-like figure before her was utterly impervious to her Immortal Art attacks. Not only was his demonic armor unbreakable, but even his skin was as hard as rock, rendering ordinary Immortal Arts utterly useless!
In contrast, the sharp claws in his hand slashed wildly, unstoppable, nearly eviscerating her with every strike—a terrifyingly close call!
He was terrifyingly strong, and his speed was no match for her own!
The woman behind him was even more terrifying!
The golden ring on her hand, of unknown origin, could change direction and size at will, attacking from all directions with devastating force.
She had personally witnessed the massive golden ring slice through the continuous mountain range, leaving perfectly flat, smooth cuts at the mountain peaks.
The memory of several Dao Immortal disciples being beheaded without warning burned vividly in her mind.
If that ring were to pass over her body, it could easily sever her head and dismember her.
Just defending against their combined attacks had already drained her to her last reserves.
And this was without the tens of thousands of other Demonic Race members joining the fray...
Dao Immortal Mu Kui's gaze involuntarily drifted toward the distant Southern Departure Academy, her eyes filled with desperate hope.
With all the elite forces of the Dao Immortal sect now annihilated here, her final hope rested solely on the Immortal Ancestor.
If she could just hold on a little longer, until the Immortal Ancestor returned, he would surely slaughter every last one of these demons!
"You insect from the Immortal Realm! Don't worry, I'll gut you and drain you dry, bit by bit!"
Mad Prisoner roared with a savage grin, his Demonic Spirit aura intensifying to a terrifying degree. Behind him, a monstrous beast's face seemed to coalesce from the darkness.
*Has this guy been holding back all along?!*
Dao Immortal Mu Kui's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe Mad Prisoner hadn't unleashed his full power until now.
"Mad Prisoner! This one's mine!"
"Don't you dare steal my prey!"
Chi Huan's expression hardened. The golden ring in his hand split into two, then dozens, then over a hundred in the blink of an eye.
The hundred-plus golden rings transformed into streaks of golden light, streaking toward Dao Immortal Mu Kui.
"Hmph! Whoever claims it, claims it!"
Mad Prisoner stomped his foot, shattering the void beneath him. He vanished in a blur of motion.
He reappeared beside Dao Immortal Mu Kui, his claws raised high, ready to strike.
One blow from those claws would reduce her to a bloody pulp on the spot.
"How could I possibly fall to a Demonic Race abomination?!"
"Haaah!"
Unwilling to perish here, Dao Immortal Mu Kui roared and hurled a branch, her hands swiftly forming immortal seals.
"Immortal Art: Immortal Tree Manifestation!"
The branch erupted in radiant, dazzling Immortal Spirit light that illuminated the entire sky, forcing Mad Prisoner and Chi Huan to shield their eyes.
As the light gradually faded, the branch had transformed into a towering, ancient tree standing majestically in mid-air.
Countless massive branches and vines erupted from the tree, entangling and enveloping both Mad Prisoner and Chi Huan!
Vines and branches spread across the sky, sprouting new trees that formed a magnificent forest in the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Even the people of Nanli City looked up in stunned awe.
*Is this the power of immortals...?*
Dao Immortal Mu Kui panted for breath, but seeing Mad Prisoner and Chi Huan trapped in the vines, a triumphant smile spread across her face.
The branch she had thrown had been obtained after a century of prayers beneath the Immortal Spirit Ancient Tree!
The Immortal Spirit Ancient Tree, repository of the world's purest Immortal Spirit, naturally suppressed Demonic Spirits. It was the perfect tool to suppress these vile creatures of the Demonic Race!
*She's not taking this seriously? Does she think I'm some pushover?!*
However, Dao Immortal Mu Kui's relief was short-lived. The vines binding Mad Prisoner were suddenly pierced by a pair of sharp claws!
The claws tore through the layers of vines, one by one, revealing half of Mad Prisoner's grinning face through the gaps.
"Now this is more like it~!"
Seeing this, Dao Immortal Mu Kui felt her hair stand on end and couldn't suppress a shudder.
Meanwhile, on the other side, several golden rings flew out, instantly shredding the vines binding Chi Huan into dust.
The rings vibrated at chainsaw-like speeds, forming a whirling vortex around Chi Huan.
Casually twirling a golden ring in his hand, Chi Huan gazed at her with a smirk.
*Why can't the Immortal Spirit Ancient Tree's power seal them?!*
Dao Immortal Mu Kui's expression turned blank, her hope extinguished. An unprecedented terror gripped her heart.
Even in a one-on-one fight, she wouldn't stand a chance against either Mad Prisoner or Chi Huan.
*In just over a thousand years... has the new generation of the Demonic Race already reached such terrifying heights?*
Neither Mad Prisoner nor Chi Huan was willing to yield their prey. In near-simultaneous attacks, they lunged toward Dao Immortal Mu Kui.
Dao Immortal Mu Kui refused to give up. She formed hand seals and once again summoned the Immortal Spirit Ancient Tree to shield her, still relying on its power to resist the attack.
Just as the beast's claws and the golden ring were about to strike the ancient tree, a beam of light instantly pierced through the air!
Dao Immortal Mu Kui noticed that Shi Mo Yan was already upon her, the light engulfing the ancient tree before her and her upper body...
When the light dissipated, only her lower torso remained, plummeting from the sky...
"Huh?!"
Having their prey snatched away at the last moment, Mad Prisoner and Chi Huan whipped their heads toward Night Sky God, roaring in unison:
"Night Sky God! How dare you steal my damn prey!"
"That's too much! X2!"
Floating in mid-air, Night Sky God slowly lowered his arm, his expression as cold and impassive as ever. He said indifferently:
"You two have been playing around for too long."
"The Left Protector ordered us to finish this quickly."
Hearing that Night Sky God had invoked the Left Protector, Mad Prisoner and Chi Huan, though seething with resentment, had no choice but to swallow their anger.
Compared to losing their prey, they feared the Left Protector's wrath far more.
