"Heavenly Silk Blood Net Palm!"

The three parties attacked simultaneously. Mengying transformed into millions of Gu worms and took the lead, covering the sky and the earth. Si Ming turned around and struck out with his left hand. This punch was ordinary, neither as fast as lightning nor earth-shaking, nor did it have any myriad transformations. However, as this punch was released, the surrounding space was filled with the vast pressure of the punch, so much so that it could not accommodate anything else. All the Gu worms exploded in an instant.

However, Mengying had clearly anticipated this outcome. She did not mix her true form into the group and managed to escape early, thus avoiding disaster and successfully delaying Si Ming's actions, preventing him from unleashing his ultimate move.

At this moment, Huang Yan and Chang Qing arrived one after another. The two of them launched a whirlwind attack together. In the blink of an eye, they had already made hundreds of moves. Their moves were so fast that only experts of their level could see them clearly. They were as swift as lightning.

The power of their palm strikes is secondary; however, the martial arts they employ are both insidious and vicious. "Burn Meridians and Sever Roots" specifically targets a person's meridians and dantian, damaging their Cultivation Body once they are hit. "Heavenly Silk Blood Net Palm" solidifies the blood vessels in the victim's body, turning them into threads that strangle the internal organs.

Si Ming didn't have time to use his ultimate move to counter, or even to gather his strength to throw a punch. No matter how great his power was, it needed a process of accumulation before it could be unleashed. He immediately switched from offense to defense, drawing circles with both hands to generate energy, using the large to overcome the small, the oblique to overcome the straight, and the formless to overcome the tangible. Each move he made was secretly generating energy.

The three of them spin around in a dazzling display, often unleashing hundreds of moves simultaneously in the blink of an eye. Without the aid of Primal Qi, it is purely a matter of martial arts application. After all, in the spiritless environment created by the Pale Flame, True Qi or demonic Yao Qi emitted would be burned away and wasted.

Compared to the previous battle of strength, it has now been changed to a battle of skills. The two people and one demon in the battle did not damage a single blade of grass or tree in their path, showing an extraordinary level of control over their strength. Not a single bit of residual strength was released, and all the power was contained in their fists and palms.

As Demon King, Zhen Hu naturally possesses extraordinary recovery abilities. Moreover, the attack he suffered just now was purely an external injury, without any invasion of foreign True Qi. Therefore, after resting for a while and using Yao Qi to heal himself, the injury to his arm was almost completely healed.

But the more he watched, the more moved he became. Faced with the fierce and dense attacks of the two Spirit Transformation experts, Si Ming used one hand to fight back, flipping and slashing, and with simple martial arts skills, he managed to deflect both of their ultimate moves. Huang Yan and Chang Qing's crazy and ruthless attacks had no effect whatsoever.

Zhen Hu was unaware that Si Ming had an older sister who was equally skilled in this kind of insidious martial arts. Through frequent sparring, she had long mastered the techniques to deal with such martial arts, either deflecting or neutralizing them, leaving no trace and preventing those insidious forces from touching her.

"The power in martial arts is ever-changing, with positive and negative, soft and hard, rigid and supple, and stretching and bending, but it can also be divided into three types of power: light, heavy, and empty. Using light is worse than using heavy, and using empty is worse than using light."

While fighting, Si Ming was even able to speak, as if instructing his opponent on how to fight. He said unhurriedly, "The boxing manual says, 'Double force won't work, single force will succeed.' Double force is a struggle of strength against strength, where I want to go and you want to come, resulting in the greater force overpowering the lesser force. Single force, on the other hand, uses my lesser force to strike where the enemy is weak, and that can succeed in one strike. If the enemy's great force misses everywhere, even though my internal force is small, I can still defeat the enemy."

Huang Yan felt frustrated. Although he was Military God, not War God, he was still quite knowledgeable about the principles of boxing. Normally, he could argue with Si Ming and point out the shortcomings, but unfortunately, he had to maintain the Pale Flame while launching his punches, so he had no time to speak.

Even if you have a lot of valid points, they are useless if you can't put them into words.

Although the Demon King Changqing could speak, unfortunately, as a member of the demon race, her skills came from actual combat and had not undergone systematic learning. She knew how but not why. She understood how to exert force, but could not translate it into practical theory, and therefore could not refute it.

"Dragon Whale Raises a Hundred Tides!"

Zhen Hu naturally couldn't stand by and watch his teammates' efforts go to waste, so he immediately channeled his Demon Power and unleashed a powerful burst of energy, just like Si Ming's punch earlier, filling every corner of the surrounding space. The originally formless and shapeless air became as solid as a solid, and the clouds in the sky were instantly blown away as if they had encountered boiling white snow, revealing the deep and endless azure sky.

He took a step forward, and the heavy earth seemed unable to withstand the immense pressure, beginning to tremble uneasily. After taking the step, he unleashed a fierce punch, and the phantom of a dragon whale appeared, its vast power crashing straight towards him.

Seeing this, Huang Yan and Chang Qing did their best to hold Si Ming back, not giving him a chance to dodge. The pale flames were like a surging Torrent, and the dark green light tore through the space, cunning to the extreme.

The next moment, the power of the dragon whale slammed into Si Ming's back. In the instant of the collision, the air within a radius of a hundred feet was overturned and pushed aside, turning into a huge ring of air that spread outwards.

However, Si Ming, who was hit, only swayed for a moment, then clenched his fists and punched out. The power of the dragon whale was transmitted out and combined with his own three divine powers, which hit Huang Yan and Chang Qing. The pale flames dissipated and the green light shattered. The two groaned and were each punched in the chest. With the sound of bones cracking, they retreated with injuries.

Huang Yan's injuries from fighting Ba Shenhuang had not yet healed. Now, after being struck again, the new injuries aggravated the old ones, and he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Although he managed to support himself, his face was extremely pale, clearly indicating that he was at his last gasp.

Si Ming endured Zhen Hu head-on, relying on his physical strength to forcibly withstand it. Although he inevitably suffered some injuries, he successfully reduced the number of his opponents, making the price he paid entirely worthwhile. He had also learned the martial art "Sea-Upholding Demon Dragon Art), so he easily neutralized the Fist Intent and only suffered external injuries.

From the very beginning, Si Ming had set his sights on the Military God Huang Yan. Since the God of War God had not yet recovered from his injuries, Huang Yan was naturally unlikely to be fully healed either, making him the weakest link in the enemy's defenses.

After this entanglement, Demon King Mengying had secretly completed his power accumulation and immediately unleashed it. Countless insects rushed into the air, splitting into two groups. One group emitted a pale golden Gang Qi, transforming into a blazing sun with a dazzling halo spreading outwards. The other group emitted a pitch-black Gang Qi, forming a crescent moon with dark shadows spreading rampantly.

"The Divine Sandworm Bukong's Shadow-Shooting Sand!"

The sun and moon revolved around each other, spinning rapidly. Light and darkness intertwined and merged, yin and yang. Every insect transformed into energy particles, instantly turning into rainbow light that shot towards Si Ming.

"Good timing!"

Si Ming punched Zhen Hu back, but seeing that he was unable to circulate his power to defend against this extreme move, golden light burst forth, and he had already entered the Solar Prominence Eruption state. He stretched out his hands in the raging flames, facing the rainbow light of the insect swarm head-on.

"Return Evil, Turn Radiance, Shift the Stars!"

Receive, transform, strengthen, and return—the four steps were completed in one smooth motion. Si Ming then unleashed the strengthened Demon Race's ultimate move at Chang Qing, who had just recovered from his injury.

"Myriad Phenomena Arrayed Like a Forest!"

Chang Qing's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly activated her innate divine Divine Ability. Accompanied by the ripples of green light, thick tree branches emerged from the void and formed several shield walls in front of her.

However, even the strongest innate Divine Ability are only at the level of ultimate moves, and cannot withstand the enhanced ultimate move. All the tree shield walls were pierced by the rainbow light of the insect swarm. Chang Qing stretched out his hands to take the hit, and was immediately forced backward, crashing into one large tree after another, and finally crashing into a mountain wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

With a deafening roar, the mountainside exploded, sending boulders flying and burying Chang Qing inside; his fate remains unknown.

After a series of dazzling and intense battles, Si Ming still stood tall, but his opponents were now down to only two. The situation had changed dramatically from one against four to one against two.

"My body has been tempered a thousand times, my martial arts are boundless, and I have never been defeated in a hundred battles!"

What makes you think you can fight me? Who gave you the courage?!

Si Ming took a step forward, his momentum soaring like a rainbow. Even though the two Demon Kings were both heroes of their time, they were at a disadvantage and subconsciously took a step back.

Seeing this, Huang Yan quickly said, "Don't fall for it. His breath is Blood Qi; he's clearly badly injured. Don't give him a chance to catch his breath."

He forced his injured body to leap up suddenly, raised one hand, and a deep blue ancient sword appeared in his palm. It shot out like a dragon emerging from the sea, and before he arrived, the sword light went first, slashing down at Si Ming.

Blue light tore through the night sky, and the cold sword blade was covered with Pale Flame. Ancient and ruthless, it was eternal and indestructible. The figure that streaked through the air formed a blue rainbow bridge, and the sharp sword light was unstoppable.

Normally, Si Ming could have blocked this One Sword with just one finger, but now he had no choice but to temporarily avoid its edge and summon the Dragon Scale Sword to defend himself.

Huang Yan was right. Si Ming had first taken Zhen Hu's ultimate move and then endured Mengying's extreme move. At this moment, his physical condition was extremely poor, and his body was empty. Although he had not "suffered a serious injury," he did need a chance to catch his breath. Therefore, he pretended to be strong, trying to intimidate the two Demon Kings and buy himself time. Unfortunately, the Military God easily saw through his strategy.

"Don't give him time to recover, and don't use your ultimate moves. Keep him occupied and buy him time, then use Pale Flame to exhaust his power before deciding the outcome."

As Huang Yan spoke, he brandished his sword, unleashing a sky full of light. Countless points of light gathered into a phoenix, dancing in the air, but were devoured one by one by the dragon-shaped Sword Qi.

Upon seeing this, Mengying and Zhen Hu immediately realized what was happening and quickly launched a pincer attack. Si Ming layer upon layer. Zhen Hu roared angrily, gathering the power of a demonic dragon in his hands. The sky and earth split open, and all things were shocked.

The four engaged in another fierce battle, their swords flashing and fists and kicks flying. In an instant, the sky darkened, and people and ghosts were filled with fear. Even the Medicine King Valley on the other side of the cold pool was affected, experiencing a violent tremor.

The elders of Medicine King Valley quickly activated their formation to withstand the impact. Then they climbed the mountain peak to look out. They saw waves of invisible energy emanating from the Pale Flame, spreading outwards. Four figures were rapidly changing, and with their cultivation levels, they couldn't tell who was who. They could only hear thunderous collisions.
