Meanwhile, Dao Immortal Huo Yan, who had been battling beneath the capital of Nanli City, was startled to see Dao Immortal Mu Kui perish in a single strike from the Night Sky God.
Yet his own situation was equally perilous...
"Where do you think you're looking~?"
"The most lively and adorable girl in the Demon Realm is right in front of you. How could you possibly look away~?"
As the words fell, a torrent of scarlet flames surged toward Dao Immortal Huo Yan.
The scorching flames twisted the void, melting everything in their path!
Dao Immortal Huo Yan was forced to leap backward, raising his Immortal Cauldron before him to absorb all the flames into its depths.
"Hmph~ That broken cauldron in your hand is so annoying..."
Yan Lili, cradling a flickering flame in her palm, glared at Dao Immortal Huo Yan with displeasure.
"Hmph! You vile creature of the Demonic Race! Once I trap you within the Nine Heavens Profound Fire Immortal Cauldron, I will refine you into nothing!"
With the members of the Dao Immortal Sect falling one after another, Dao Immortal Huo Yan's fury had reached its peak.
Armed with the Nine Heavens Profound Fire Immortal Cauldron, he was utterly confident he could defeat Yan Lili.
Though Yan Lili was also skilled in fire-based immortal arts, her mastery of flame manipulation and power, while formidable, was no match for his!
"Heh heh~ How amusing~"
"It's been so long since anyone spoke to me like that~"
"I quite like you~"
"I've decided!"
"I'm going to burn you into the most exquisite skeleton and add you to my collection~"
Yan Lili winked playfully at Dao Immortal Huo Yan, her sweet smile belying her chilling words.
"Nine Heavens Profound Fire Immortal Cauldron, open!"
Dao Immortal Huo Yan frowned, supporting the cauldron in one hand while channeling spiritual energy into it with the other.
The cauldron opened, and countless fiery, crimson-gold immortal chains surged forth toward Yan Lili!
Yan Lili stood motionless, her heterochromatic eyes—one scarlet, the other azure—igniting with flames of the same colors.
Scarlet and azure flames erupted from her palms.
"Whoosh~"
She fused the two-colored flames in her hands, then gently blew.
The scarlet-azure flames danced in the wind, instantly freezing the incoming immortal chains before miraculously turning them to ash and dissipating them...
Even the Nine Heavens Profound Fire Immortal Cauldron in Dao Immortal Huo Yan's hand froze solid and melted away!
"What... what kind of bizarre flame is this?!"
"It destroyed my Nine Heavens Profound Fire Immortal Cauldron?!"
Dao Immortal Huo Yan's face paled in shock.
The scarlet-azure flame had already spread from his arm to his entire body...
In an instant, he felt a bone-chilling coldness within him, yet his body burned with a searing heat!
These two diametrically opposed sensations ravaged his entire being and his divine sense.
He could no longer distinguish between the extreme cold and the scorching heat...
His skin, flesh, and even his internal organs were slowly dissolving...
"Ah! Wh-what have you done to me?!"
As Dao Immortal Huo Yan's body gradually melted away, he collapsed to his knees, unable to stand. Reaching out a trembling hand, he confronted Yan Lili.
Yan Lili remained silent, squatting before him like a mischievous girl, her face propped on her hand. She watched with quiet anticipation, her eyes gleaming with delight.
Until Dao Immortal Huo Yan had completely dissolved into a pool of blood, leaving only a translucent, snow-white immortal bone...
Yan Lili slowly picked up the skull, her cheeks flushed as she gently caressed the forehead. A smile of pure bliss spread across her face.
"Hmm~ Another masterpiece~"
"Pity it's not quite perfect..."
"If only I could collect the Demon Lord's skull..."
"No, just thinking about it makes me excited... How embarrassing~"
***
Dao Immortal Mu Kui and Dao Immortal Huo Yan had both perished. Of the thousands of Dao Immortals who had descended to the mortal realm, only Dao Immortal Feng Ming remained.
Seeing that the Immortal Ancestor had failed to return and that Dao Immortal Huo Yan and Dao Immortal Mu Kui had met their demise, and having witnessed no other survivors among the six great Immortal Law Elders besides himself, Dao Immortal Feng Ming dared not linger. Only one thought remained in his mind:
*Escape!*
Otherwise, his fate would be the same as the others!
Dao Immortal Feng Ming casually lifted the entire stretch of earth before him and hurled it at Luo Si. With a swift movement, his figure transformed into a wisp of clear wind and vanished in an instant!
Among the six great Immortal Law Elders, Feng Ming was the fastest, surpassing even Dao Immortal Lei Ze, who moved as swiftly as lightning!
Noticing Feng Ming's attempt to flee, Luo Si, known as the "Demon Realm's Filial Daughter," slowly raised her arm.
Countless fine threads erupted from the ground and the surrounding ruined buildings!
During combat, Luo Si would embed her hair into the surrounding structures and the earth.
These hair-thin threads were nearly invisible even up close, let alone when buried in the surroundings.
The swirling threads, sharp as steel wire, split the obstructing rubble and neatly sliced through the buildings!
Dao Immortal Feng Ming, having witnessed the formidable power of Luo Si's hair before, showed no hesitation. He swiftly drew his immortal sword and unleashed a wind blade that severed all the surrounding threads.
Yet the threads seemed endless, erupting from the ground and the surroundings in an unending torrent!
Luo Si stood motionless from beginning to end, yet the strands of hair on her head grew longer and denser, nearly completely engulfing her body.
The fine, elongated strands stretched infinitely, moving with astonishing speed!
The interwoven hair formed a fishing net that descended from all directions!
"Immortal Art: Wind Vortex!"
Dao Xian Fengming threw his Immortal Sword, which began to circle him, whipping up a razor-sharp tornado that severed all the surrounding hair!
The fierce wind blades, like a storm, pulverized everything in their path—buildings, the earth, and all else!
Having briefly cleared the troublesome hair, Dao Xian Fengming swiftly retrieved his sword and resumed his rapid advance.
This time, however, he wasn't fleeing. He charged straight toward Luo Si!
He knew that without killing her first, he could never escape the endless strands of hair!
Just as Dao Xian Fengming lunged toward Luo Si, a pitch-black divine rainbow flashed behind him!
*What?!*
Dao Xian Fengming instantly sensed the danger and instinctively spun around, raising his sword to block.
The black rainbow collided with the blade of his Immortal Sword, sending him flying dozens of *li* back!
Once his footing stabilized, Dao Xian Fengming focused his gaze and realized the pitch-black divine rainbow was actually a magnificent, ebony halberd!
The halberd's tip pressed against the blade of his Immortal Sword, its shaft etched with vivid depictions of demonic beasts and fiends from the Demon Realm, exuding a thick aura of dread and terror.
Before Dao Xian Fengming could pry the halberd from his sword, two demonic claws suddenly extended from its shaft, seizing his arm.
The creatures and demons carved on the halberd seemed to come alive, transforming into demon souls that glared at him with bared fangs.
The one gripping his arm was a ghastly, fanged ghost.
From a distance, Rakshasa, the seventh-ranked Demon God of the Demon Realm, began to approach slowly, followed by countless demon souls and vengeful spirits. The air filled with the wails and moans of tormented souls, his procession resembling a hundred ghosts on a moonless night.
"A pleasure to meet you, Rakshasa, the seventh-ranked Demon God of the Demon Realm," Rakshasa said, his face beaming with a radiant, sun-like smile, revealing pearly white teeth.
He then gestured to the halberd coiled around Dao Xian Fengming's arm. "By the way, that's my old companion, the Soul Devouring Demon Halberd."
"Looks like it really likes you~"
"What nonsense!"
Dao Xian Fengming felt utterly insulted. With a furious roar, he summoned a whirlwind of razor-sharp wind blades at his feet.
The raging wind blades obliterated every demon soul in the vicinity.
But at that very moment, countless hair-like strands erupted from beneath the ground and behind him, piercing through his entire body!
The fine strands even penetrated the Immortal Sword in his hand, pinning him immovably in place.
Dao Xian Fengming's face was filled with disbelief.
The Fengli Immortal Sword in his hand wasn't just one of the finest Immortal artifacts; it was also the guardian of the Wind Realm, wreathed in deadly wind blades. Yet it had been pierced by mere strands of hair!
Just moments ago, he had easily severed those strands!
*Wait, these strands are different from before!*
Dao Xian Fengming peered closely and realized the strands piercing his body were a dark, emerald-green, completely unlike the ones that had chased him earlier!
Luo Si, dragging her floor-length hair behind her, slowly approached from behind Dao Xian Fengming. Because her hair was so long, she accidentally stepped on it and fell face-first with a *splat*...
Rakshasa rubbed his forehead in exasperation, unable to bear watching.
*Even so, she's the fifth-ranked member of the Demon Realm. How could she be so careless...?*
Luo Si rose slowly from the ground, her movements so subtle that it seemed nothing had happened.
Though Dao Xian Fengming couldn't see behind him, he heard Luo Si's footsteps approaching one by one. His body froze, not daring to move a muscle.
*Because if he twitched even slightly, the hair piercing his body would slice him into countless pieces...*
"W-Wait...!"
"If you spare me, I'll do anything you want!"
"I'm an elder of the Dao Xian Clan, with considerable status...!"
"I can act as a spy for the demons—I'd be a great asset!"
Dao Xian Fengming desperately pleaded with the Rakshasa before him.
The Rakshasa scratched his cheek, looking conflicted, and offered an apologetic smile.
"Sorry, I'd love to let you go, but the Left Protector's orders are to leave none of you alive!"
Dao Xian Fengming's entire body trembled involuntarily.
In his eyes, the Rakshasa's smile was a monstrous, eager grin of anticipation!
*This man never intended to spare him!*
Before Dao Xian Fengming could beg for mercy, Luo Si behind him raised her pale, slender fingers. The strands of hair coiled around her fingers tightened, pulling at his entire body...
In that instant, Dao Xian Fengming felt death descending upon him.
His premonition was accurate.
Luo Si's delicate fingers closed slightly, and the hair sliced through Dao Xian Fengming's body as easily as cutting tofu, without a sound and without drawing a drop of blood.
Dao Xian Fengming's eyes glazed over, and his body disintegrated into countless fragments that scattered across the ground.
As Dao Xian Fengming's last wisp of soul tried to flee in secret, Rakshasa smiled faintly and shouted:
"Soul Devour!"
The Soul Devouring Demon Halberd seemed to come alive, its maw opening wide to reveal rows of fangs. It tore the wisp of soul apart and swallowed it whole!
"Ahhh!"
Dao Xian Fengming's soul was devoured in despair and agony, and the Soul Devouring Demon Halberd returned to its usual stillness.
