Retreat

The mountains stretched endlessly, shrouded in clouds and mist. Beams of black light tore through the sky and shot toward Hong Ya. The combined attack of the forty-two Death-Ray Demon Eyes was already capable of posing a fatal threat to Bandit Cultivator.

"Oh no, Captain is in danger!" Jie Yuan exclaimed, reaching out with both hands. One by one, golden beetles the size of a thumb swarmed out from his sleeves, transforming into a golden cloud that rushed towards Hong Ya, trying to help relieve some of the pressure on the latter.

"Hmph, you still want to interfere? Mind your own business!" Morati, hiding in the egg-shaped Flying Boat, snorted coldly, and the spiral horn on his forehead emitted beams of purple light that landed on the Demon Spider Cage.

As he moved, the Demon Spider Cage quickly changed as well.

The black spider web in the sky rippled slightly, abandoning Hong Ya and surrounding Yang Tianyou and the remaining six. The swarm of insects released by Jie Yuan were also blocked by the Demon Spider Cage and could not escape.

At the same time, the space rippled, and five hundred Demon Puppets appeared. Individually, these Demon Puppets were not strong; even a cultivator in the Early Void Refinement could defeat them. However, when they united, the demonic runes engraved on their bodies combined, forming a power linkage. The five hundred Demon Puppets became like one, and their threat level soared.

"There are so many Demon Puppets! I'm in danger now. Everyone, stop holding back and bring out all your trump cards. Don't be stingy with any treasures you have. Once you're dead, you have nothing left." Red Hawk said, flipping his palm and taking out a golden octagonal Formation Disc.

The Formation Disc was somewhat damaged, but the aura it emitted was extremely profound and unpredictable. Yang Tianyou's eyes flickered slightly, and he was already certain that the Formation Disc was definitely of the Ninth Tier. Even in its damaged state, it was far stronger than Eighth Tier top-grade Formation Disc.

As Red Hawk threw out the Formation Disc, countless mysterious and complex golden Array Mark instantly filled the entire world. A golden longsword materialized from Void, its blade containing an extremely sharp edge.

"Wow, the Golden Sword Demon-Slaying Formation! Sister Red Hawk has really gone all out this time, so I can't be stingy either! Heaven-Swallowing Insect!" Jie Yuan opened his mouth, and a ferocious-looking beetle slowly crawled out of his throat.

The insect was entirely black with two pairs of eyes. As soon as it was exposed to the outside world, it couldn't wait to let out a roar, a sound like the Dragon Roar and the howl of a tiger, carrying a majestic and domineering aura.

Roar!!

After the black beetle roared, it vanished. The next moment, a black hole appeared out of thin air, and its terrifying suction force acted on the five hundred Demon Puppets, like a Giant Mountain pressing down, slowing Puppet movements slightly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Red Hawk let out a shout, and his Golden Sword pierced through the air, slashing out directly. With a tearing sound, a black mark appeared in the space, and more than twenty of the five hundred Demon Puppets were instantly shattered. The remaining ones were also split into two parts by the Sword-Ray, making it difficult for them to reunite, and the threat was greatly reduced.

After unleashing this earth-shattering sword strike, a huge crack appeared on the Formation Disc that Red Hawk had taken out. The Golden Sword Demon Slayer was an ancient Formation left over from a distant era. Each activation would cause irreversible damage to the Formation Disc. Red Hawk would never use this trump card unless absolutely necessary.

Carefully putting away the Formation Disc, Red Hawk's delicate hands moved rapidly, and extremely precise and intricate Array Mark flew out from her hands. In an instant, two Eighth Tier top-grade Formation were constructed, completely dividing the Demon Puppets into two camps.

"Well done!!" Duo Ling praised.

"Jie Yuan and I will suppress these Demon Puppets. You all enter the Formation and kill them. Be quick. I'm afraid the captain won't last much longer. This Devil Race's plan is very clear: to hold us off temporarily and deal with the captain first!" After Hong Ya was separated from the Demon Spider Cage, Red Hawk naturally took over the command position. Jie Yuan and the others also trusted this big sister very much, and after she gave the order, they began to carry it out without hesitation.

"I have a Divine Ability that grows stronger the longer it is charged!" Yang Tianyou drew his sword and unleashed the Life-and-Death Blade. One after another, Gods and Devils appeared, followed by the gathering power of heaven and earth.

Seeing this, Red Hawk pondered for a moment, chose to believe Yang Tianyou, and nodded slightly. The others didn't say anything more and entered the Formation.

Yang Tianyou, on the other hand, focused intently on driving the Life-and-Death Wheel, frantically absorbing the surrounding energy of heaven and earth.

Over the years, not only has his cultivation become increasingly refined, but his self-created Blade Dao Divine Ability have also become more sophisticated.

This Life-and-Death Wheel technique borrows the essence of the Primordial Black Hole at the bottom of the Great White Grotto Heaven, resulting in an inexplicable transformation. Yang Tianyou was unaware of the specifics of this change before, but upon arriving on the Ninefold Universe Continent and activating the Life-and-Death Blade, he surprisingly did not experience the barrier between himself and the energy of heaven and earth that other cultivators felt. The Life Life-and-Death Wheel could absorb the energy of heaven and earth of the Ninefold Universe Continent, which was mixed with countless Devil Qi energies, without any hindrance, and it seemed to have subtly completed something.

"The Life-and-Death Wheel, Gods and Devils..." Yang Tianyou murmured to himself, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. He seemed to understand the direction of his future advancement with this Divine Ability.

By drawing upon the power of Gods and Devils and creating a true space, the power of this Divine Ability will surely be greatly enhanced.

Of course, now is not the time to enhance his Divine Ability. Yang Tianyou forcibly suppressed his thoughts and, after the Life-and-Death Wheel had accumulated to a certain level, he unleashed a fierce strike.

Red Hawk coordinated perfectly. A crack quietly appeared in the Formation on the right, and the Life-and-Death Wheel swept across the sky and entered it in a mighty torrent. One Demon Puppets after another was shattered, like grasshoppers blocking the wheel, utterly vulnerable.

"Good, haha, Long Kuang, you really found a good teammate this time!" The Kumao laughed and spat out breaths of deathly hurricane, blowing the Demon Puppets about. Long Kuang remained silent, his palms transforming into dragon claws, their surfaces burning with orange-red flames. With each punch, Demon Puppets was destroyed.

With the team working together, the puppets in the right-hand Formation were quickly cleared out.

Red Hawk controlled the Formation and collected all the shattered parts of the Demon Puppets.

"What? How could it be so fast?" Morati was extremely surprised as he felt all the Demon Puppets he had deployed shatter. His attention had been focused on Hong Ya, and he hadn't paid much attention to Yang Tianyou and the others.

"Damn it, what bad luck! To run into such an elite squad in this low-risk area! What a waste of my five hundred Puppets!" Morati was heartbroken, but he was quite rational. He knew that he couldn't take down this squad on his own. Hong Ya was still persisting. If they were really determined to fight to the end, then it would most likely be a lose-lose situation.

"Forget it, let's get out of here. Don't let me run into you again!" Morati muttered angrily, then put away the Death-Ray Demon Eyes and the Demon Spider Cage, and disappeared in his egg-shaped Flying Boat.
