46: In the moment of crisis, strong reinforcements arrived.

The Cultivator revealed a look of horror, hastily summoning a black bone shield to defend himself.

"Clang—Crack!"

The sword light, containing the power of the Five Elements in circulation, slashed fiercely against the bone shield!

The bone shield shattered upon impact! The sword light, its momentum undiminished, instantly pierced through his protective Devilish Qi and swept across his neck!

"Urgh..." The light in the Cultivator's eyes instantly extinguished, and his corpse, trailing spurting blood, plummeted from mid-air!

Clean! Swift! From the moment Yao Delong struck to the killing of the Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator, only a few breaths had passed!

"Bastard!!" The other Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator was both shocked and enraged, frantically urging his Demonic Technique, summoning a demonic fork to stab at Yao Delong's back in an attempt to sneak attack.

Yao Delong didn't even turn his head, slashing out with a backhand sword strike; a condensed Fire-element Sword Qi lashed out like a whip!

"Swish!" The demonic fork was knocked aside by the Sword Qi, sparks flying everywhere!

Using the momentum, Yao Delong spun his body, unfurling the Five Elements Sword Technique once more, launching a continuous, storm-like onslaught against the remaining Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator!

Under the suppression of the Innate True Fire array, he struggled to resist, finding himself in constant danger!

On the other side, the battle between Lin Qingxue and the Black and White Fiends was even more intense!

Lin Qingxue transformed into an ice-blue stream of light, her sword moving with her, as fast as lightning!

She pushed her ice soul sword intent to the limit; every sword strike carried a chill that froze the Soul and a sharpness that tore through space!

Ice crystals danced across the sky, transforming into countless tiny ice soul sword qi, sweeping toward the two fiends like a storm!

"Ice Seals a Thousand Miles!"

A massive ice-blue sword aura swept out, and wherever it passed, space itself seemed to be frozen!

"Ten Thousand Ghosts Devour the Soul!" The Black Fiend roared, frantically shaking his bone banner. Countless vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts shrieked as they lunged out, only to be frozen into ice sculptures by the extreme frigid Sword Qi, shattering and dissipating!

His face was pale; clearly, the suppression from the Innate True Fire was having a significant impact.

"Bone-Eroding Poison Web!" The White Fiend's ten fingers danced, and dense, sickly green poison threads coiled toward Lin Qingxue like venomous snakes, attempting to restrict her speed.

However, Lin Qingxue's sword light was extremely agile, and her movement technique was as elusive as a phantom. She wove through the poison web, her ice soul sword qi occasionally severing the poison threads while she seized opportunities to counterattack!

Although the two fiends had tacit coordination and higher cultivation, they were pinned down by the suppression of the Innate True Fire array and Lin Qingxue's peerlessly fierce Sword Intent.

On the main battlefield, the Blood Fiend Demon became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed!

That panyan gold puppet was simply a monster that felt no pain and knew no fatigue!

It didn't defend at all, only knowing how to attack! Fists, feet, elbows, knees... every part of its body had turned into a terrifying weapon. The runes inscribed upon it lit up with blinding light under the infusion of Nascent Soul-level Spiritual Qi, and every collision erupted with force capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks!

It was fighting with a style of trading injury for injury!

The Blood Fiend Demon's withered claws tore through the dark gold armor on the Puppet's arm, leaving deep claw marks and causing corrosion with Devilish Qi, but the Puppet felt nothing. With a backhand punch, it caused his protective demonic light to vibrate violently!

His Devilish Qi attacks landed on the Puppet, leaving only marks of varying depths, but unable to cause fatal damage!

Devilish Qi was usually lethally damaging to Righteous Path Cultivators, but it was completely useless against a Puppet!

What made him even more frustrated was that the flame array covering the battlefield was causing continuous, bone-gnawing burning and suppression on the Demonic Essence within his body!

It forced him to use only eighty or ninety percent of his full strength!

With the shifts in their respective strengths, he, a dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator, was actually being beaten so frustratingly by a Puppet, and he roared repeatedly!

"Trash!!" Seeing one of his own instantly killed by Yao Delong, the other in imminent danger, and the two fiends pinned down by Lin Qingxue.

"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique—Activate!" The Blood Fiend Demon let out a roar of extreme misery!

He slammed his chest, spitting out a large mouthful of pure life-bound demonic blood!

The blood merged into the swirling blood robe around him, and the robe instantly began to wriggle like a living creature, erupting with monstrous bloody light!

His entire aura surged wildly like a volcanic eruption!

His withered body instantly expanded by a circle, the veins and blood vessels under his skin bulging like coiling Dragons, and blood mist churned violently on his face, faintly revealing an expression of extreme pain!

A terrifying demonic might, far exceeding what it had been before, descended with a boom! It had actually reached the Mid Nascent Soul Stage!

Although the power of this forbidden secret technique was not at its Peak because he had used it just a few days ago, this strength still instantly changed the battle situation!

"Boom!!" The Blood Fiend Demon threw a punch, and his giant fist, wreathed in rich bloody light, smashed fiercely into the panyan gold puppet's chest!

"Thud—!" A dull sound that made one's heart stop!

The panyan gold puppet's indestructible chest was actually smashed inward by a large chunk!

Countless fine cracks spread out! Its entire massive body flew backward like a cannonball, smashing fiercely into the mountain wall below; rubble flew, and dust filled the air!

At the same time, the terrifying shockwave of demonic might swept out, and Lin Qingxue's ice soul sword domain was instantly suppressed and shattered!

She let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, and she was shaken back repeatedly!

Yao Delong, who was suppressing the last Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator, also felt his body shake violently; the Spiritual Qi inside him churned, and his offensive stalled.

The Blood Fiend Demon grinned hideously, his blood-stained figure pouncing toward Yao Delong like a ghost!

A demonic claw, wreathed in viscous blood-light and emitting a lethal aura of devouring, tore through space and grabbed straight for the top of Yao Delong's head!

"Come with this Seat!"

Yao Delong's pupils contracted violently! The shadow of death instantly enveloped his entire body!

He forcibly mobilized all his Spiritual Qi to try and dodge, but that terrifying pressure of the Mid Nascent Soul Stage bore down like a mountain, causing his movements to lag!

The Innate True Fire array was also flickering unsteadily under the impact of that tyrannical bloody light!

Just at this critical moment!

"Devil Head! Do not be rampant!!!"

A roar containing monstrous rage and awe-inspiring Righteous Path energy rolled in from the distant horizon like a thunderclap!

At the same time, several incomparably tyrannical auras, like enraged Dragons emerging from the sea, arrived through the air at an astonishing speed, carrying the momentum to tear through the miasma!

The person leading them was none other than Mu Long, whose severed arm was wrapped in bandages, his face pale but his eyes spitting fire!

Behind him followed an old man with white hair and beard, wearing the robes of a White Cloud Merchant Guild Elder, whose aura was as deep as the sea (Mid Nascent Soul Stage)!

And several murderous Early Golden Core Stage guards!

"Reinforcements?" Yao Delong's whole body shook; he never expected that reinforcements would actually arrive!

"Mu Long?! That old scoundrel from the White Cloud Merchant Guild?!" The Blood Fiend Demon was terrified to the point of despair!

He also hadn't expected reinforcements to arrive! And he certainly hadn't expected that Mu Long, still suffering from his severe injuries, would have personally chased after him!

"Blood Fiend Demon! Pay with your life!!" Upon seeing the Blood Fiend Demon, Mu Long's eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot veins; when enemies meet, they are especially jealous!

He didn't care about his own injuries at all; crimson light surged violently on his right arm, and with the momentum of splitting the heavens and earth (Dao), he fiercely attacked the Blood Fiend Demon!

It was completely a desperate, reckless style of fighting!

"Protect Master Yao!"

The Mid Nascent Soul Stage Elder of the White Cloud Merchant Guild had eyes like lightning, instantly locking onto the Black and White Fiends, whose auras were withered and who had been shaken back!

He took a step forward, Spiritual Qi forming a lotus beneath his feet, and his figure instantly appeared before the White Fiend!

A hand, fair as jade, struck out lightly. Wherever the palm wind reached, space solidified, containing a terrifying power capable of overturning mountains and seas!

"No—!" The White Fiend only had time to let out half a terrified scream before that seemingly slow palm was pressed against his chest!

"Pfft!" It was like smashing a rotten watermelon!

The White Fiend's protective demonic light and body were as fragile as paper under that palm!

They instantly burst apart, turning into a sky full of blood mist and shattered bones!

Even his Divine Soul could not escape and was completely annihilated by that terrifying palm force!

Instant kill!
