21: A desperate struggle, a turning point suddenly appears

Inside the main hall, the battle instantly escalated to a fever pitch. The clash between Marshal of the Unruly and Black Wind Old Monster was the most intense, with the residual energy from their spiritual power collision causing ripples in the surrounding space. As a Protector of the Earthly Fiend Alliance, Black Wind Old Monster's Land Immortal Realm strength was indeed not to be underestimated. As he wielded his black staff, black spiritual energy beams shot out like cannonballs towards Marshal of the Unruly.

"Hmph, you think you can stop this old man?" Black Wind Old Monster cackled, his eyes filled with disdain for Marshal of the Unruly.

Marshal of the Unruly's expression was solemn as he fully activated the black Qi flow within his body, forming a solid shield in front of him to block the beams one by one. At the same time, he flickered, approaching Black Wind Old Monster like a ghost, his hands like eagle claws, reaching out to grab Black Wind Old Monster. Black Wind Old Monster dodged sideways, sweeping his staff horizontally, hitting Marshal of the Unruly's arm. The immense force caused Marshal of the Unruly's arm to go numb.

"Old scoundrel, if you have the guts, don't dodge!" Marshal of the Unruly roared, launching another attack.

On the other side, Fu Hongxue, West Gate Blows Snow, and the others were also engaged in a bitter struggle with the experts of the Earthly Fiend Alliance. The Earthly Fiend Alliance's experts cooperated flawlessly, surrounding Fu Hongxue and the others in a Formation, attempting to defeat them one by one.

"Everyone, don't panic, maintain the Sword Formation!" West Gate Blows Snow shouted. He, Ye Gucheng, and Thirteen Swallows stood back-to-back, executing exquisite sword techniques. Their Sword Qi intertwined to form an impenetrable net, temporarily fending off the attacks from the Earthly Fiend Alliance's experts.

Fu Hongxue, on the other hand, relied on the fierce Saber Qi of the "Bright Moon Blade of the Horizon" to constantly break through the enemy's encirclement, creating opportunities for the Sword Formation. Each swing of the "Bright Moon Blade of the Horizon" brought a shower of blood, striking fear into the hearts of the Earthly Fiend Alliance's experts.

Li Xunhuan was at the edge of the battlefield, his Little Lis Flying Dagger shooting out like lightning, precisely hitting the vital points of the Earthly Fiend Alliance's experts. Each Dagger took a life, effectively weakening the Earthly Fiend Alliance's combat strength.

"Little Lis Flying Dagger, never misses!" Li Xunhuan shouted while continuously attacking.

Lin Feng, leading the Disciples of Spirit Wind Valley, also joined the battle. Although their strength was slightly weaker compared to the Beyond Heaven members and the Earthly Fiend Alliance, their participation brought some variables to the battlefield. The Disciples of Spirit Wind Valley performed Spirit Wind Valley's unique Spirit Wind Sword Technique. Their sword moves were like a gentle breeze, yet concealed killing intent, cooperating with the Beyond Heaven members to cause some trouble for the Earthly Fiend Alliance.

However, the Earthly Fiend Alliance had come prepared and possessed great strength. As the battle continued, the Beyond Heaven and Spirit Wind Valley members gradually fell into a disadvantage. Some of The Unruly and Spirit Wind Valley Disciples were already injured and collapsed, and Fu Hongxue and the others felt the pressure growing.

"This won't do, we must find a way to break the stalemate," Ye Gucheng said while fighting.

Just then, Shen Lang discovered a flaw in the Earthly Fiend Alliance's Formation during the battle. Seizing the opportunity, he used the movement skill of "Treading Snow Without a Trace," moving like a white shadow among the Earthly Fiend Alliance's experts.

"Now!" Shen Lang roared, thrusting his long sword towards the flaw. The Earthly Fiend Alliance's Formation immediately showed a slight loosening.

"Everyone, take this chance and attack with full force!" Fu Hongxue seized the opportunity, unleashing the strongest Saber Qi of the "Bright Moon Blade of the Horizon," slashing towards the Earthly Fiend Alliance's experts. West Gate Blows Snow, Ye Gucheng, and Thirteen Swallows also launched their strongest attacks simultaneously, greatly increasing the power of the Sword Formation.

Under the combined attacks of everyone, the Earthly Fiend Alliance's Formation was finally broken. The Earthly Fiend Alliance's experts were thrown into disarray, falling into chaos for a time.

"Good opportunity, continue the attack!" Lin Feng saw the situation reverse and immediately led the Disciples of Spirit Wind Valley to pursue the victory.

However, Black Wind Old Monster was furious to see his subordinates in distress. "You ants, how dare you ruin my plans!" He no longer entangled with Marshal of the Unruly and turned to charge at Fu Hongxue and the others.

Black Wind Old Monster's intervention made the situation critical again. His strength was too great, and Fu Hongxue and the others were simply unable to withstand his attacks. With a wave of Black Wind Old Monster's staff, a black spiritual energy vortex appeared, sweeping towards everyone.

"Not good, quickly dodge!" Marshal of the Unruly shouted. Everyone quickly used their movement techniques to evade, but some were not fast enough and were hit by the spiritual energy vortex, sent flying backward, spitting blood.

Just as everyone fell into despair, Jun Xiaoyao behind the scenes was burning with anxiety. He looked at the situation on the battlefield, knowing he had to make a decision.

"System, how many Summoning Points do I have left now?" Jun Xiaoyao asked anxiously.

"Host currently has 1500 Summoning Points," the System replied.

"Consume these points to summon!" Jun Xiaoyao said without hesitation.

In the secret chamber, light once again shot up into the sky, and the space seemed to be violently stirred by an invisible giant hand, distorting beyond recognition. The intense light almost melted the entire secret chamber, and at the center of the light, a figure gradually condensed into shape.

Summoned Character: Qiao Feng

From the world: "demi-gods and semi-devils"

Realm: Earthly Immortal Early-Stage

Martial Skill Cultivation Technique: Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, incomparably fierce and powerful, capable of striking enemies from a distance, severely wounding opponents with overwhelming force; also Dragon Capturing Skill, able to retrieve objects from a distance and control enemy weapons; his movement technique is also extremely profound, moving like lightning, with rich combat experience and extremely strong practical combat ability.

The light dissipated, and a burly, imposing man appeared before Jun Xiaoyao. The man wore a gray robe, his eyes revealing boldness and resolve. He knelt on one knee and said in a booming voice, "Greetings, Master!"

"Qiao Feng, the Beyond Heaven members are currently facing powerful enemies in the mysterious ruins and are in a desperate situation. Go and support them quickly!" Jun Xiaoyao said anxiously.

"Yes, Master!" Qiao Feng responded, then his figure flashed and he disappeared from the secret chamber.

Almost instantly, Qiao Feng appeared on the battlefield in the ruins' main hall. Seeing everyone struggling, he was enraged. "Audacious fanatics, how dare you harm my Beyond Heaven brothers!" Qiao Feng roared, charging towards Black Wind Old Monster like a fierce tiger descending a mountain.

Black Wind Old Monster was startled by Qiao Feng's sudden appearance. But relying on his Land Immortal Middle Stage strength, he didn't take Qiao Feng seriously. "Who are you, kid, coming out of nowhere, also seeking death?"

Qiao Feng snorted, said nothing, and directly unleashed the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms. "Vast Dragon Regrets!" A golden Dragon-shaped palm print shot out from Qiao Feng's hand, carrying a world-destroying Aura, slamming towards Black Wind Old Monster.

Black Wind Old Monster's face changed drastically; he felt the immense power of this palm strike. He quickly waved his staff, condensing a layer of black spiritual energy shield, attempting to block Qiao Feng's attack.

With a loud "Boom!" the golden Dragon-shaped palm print collided with the black spiritual energy shield, creating a powerful explosion. The immense impact caused cracks to appear in the surrounding ground, and everyone was shaken back.

Black Wind Old Monster was hit by this palm strike, his body flying backward, spitting out mouthfuls of fresh blood. He was utterly shocked, never expecting Qiao Feng's strength to be so formidable.

"You... who exactly are you?" Black Wind Old Monster looked at Qiao Feng in horror.

Qiao Feng ignored him and once again unleashed the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms. "Soaring Dragon in the Sky!" Another golden Dragon-shaped palm print shot out, flying towards Black Wind Old Monster.

Black Wind Old Monster was already injured and powerless to resist Qiao Feng's attack. He turned to flee, but how could Qiao Feng let him go? "Where do you think you're going!" Qiao Feng flashed, instantly appearing behind Black Wind Old Monster, and unleashed another palm strike.

Black Wind Old Monster was hit in the back of his heart by this palm and died on the spot.

The Earthly Fiend Alliance's experts were horrified to see Black Wind Old Monster killed. They no longer had any desire to fight and scattered, attempting to flee.

"Trying to run? Not that easy!" Fu Hongxue and the others saw the situation reverse and immediately pursued the victory. Under the pursuit of the Beyond Heaven and Spirit Wind Valley members, the Earthly Fiend Alliance's experts suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining ones fled in disarray.

This fierce battle finally concluded, with the Beyond Heaven and Spirit Wind Valley members successfully repelling the Earthly Fiend Alliance. However, everyone was exhausted, and many were injured.

"Thank you, brother, for your assistance. May I ask your esteemed name?" Lin Feng asked gratefully, looking at Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng looked at Lin Feng and smiled slightly: "I am Qiao Feng, a member of Beyond Heaven."

"So it's Brother Qiao. If not for Brother Qiao today, we would probably all have perished here. Spirit Wind Valley owes Beyond Heaven a favor," Lin Feng said.

"Everyone is fighting against the Earthly Fiend Alliance; there's no need to be polite," Qiao Feng said.

At this moment, everyone's gaze once again fell upon the colorful box on the stone platform. After this fierce battle, they finally had the opportunity to explore the secrets within the box. However, what kind of treasure did this box hide? And what changes would it bring to Beyond Heaven? Everything was still unknown, and everyone deeply understood that in this mysterious ruin, perhaps more dangers and opportunities awaited them...
