"Junior Brother, don't be reckless. Remember, our mission requires safety first!"

After receiving a reminder from Chen Dengming, He Yingyu sent a Divine Sense message and rushed out without hesitation.

She knew that staying would be pointless and would only distract Chen Dengming. If she escaped beforehand and maintained a safe distance, she could use the Ghost Jade Bracelet to quickly help Chen Dengming escape if necessary.

This bracelet is made of a special material and has special properties. It can attract the souls of the two users within a certain time and distance, and to a certain extent, make their bodies spiritualized, greatly reducing wind resistance and increasing escape speed.

As soon as the Devil Cultivator and Demon Beast intercepted them, Chen Dengming unleashed his Soul Shocking Silk to clear a path for He Yingyu. The densely packed Soul Shocking Silk flashed with dazzling white light, instantly plowing open a road that was unstoppable.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Blazing Flame Blood Devil's astonishing Divine Sense, as sharp as flying fire, had already attacked Qiao Zhaoxian.

This Candidate Dao Son of the Tiandao Sect, having escaped from Golden Core Great Cultivator cultivators multiple times, was extremely experienced. He activated a jade pendant Law Artifact on his body in advance, forming a transparent eggshell-shaped protective shield to resist the impact of Divine Sense.

"Pop!"

The protective shield flickered only once before collapsing.

Qiao Zhaoxian's body flashed with a flash of inspiration, then collapsed like a dream, avoiding the attack of Divine Sense, but also missing the opportunity to kill the Molochara.

"Don't let a single one escape—stop them! Kill them all!"

As if frozen into a pool of ice water, the Molochara hiding in the eerie ground let out painful and angry roars, transmitting their Divine Sense.

"Everyone retreat! I'll lure away the Blazing Flame Blood Devil!"

Just then, Qiao Zhaoxian quickly transmitted his voice in mid-air, truly demonstrating his responsibility as the team leader at this critical moment. He flew into the air and used the Primordial Qi Bracelet on the Blazing Flame Blood Devil, intending to lure the Blazing Flame Blood Devil away as planned and create an opportunity for everyone to escape.

"Walk!!"

Without hesitation, everyone seized the opportunity to break through the encirclement formed by the Demon General, Devil Cultivator, and Demon Beast, and dared not linger in battle.

Qiao Zhaoxian was able to exchange blows with Golden Core Great Cultivator, managing to escape after a brief struggle, because the cultivator possessed numerous Law Treasure and trump cards, and had abundant Core Power.

If it were them, they wouldn't even need to think about how to escape; they'd only need to think about how to die with some dignity.

At that moment, a thunderous roar erupted in the sky, causing hearts to tighten and flames to soar into the air.

Qiao Zhaoxian's Primordial Qi Bracelet hummed and trembled, its spiritual light tainted by the blood light, and was directly knocked away by the Blazing Flame Blood Devil.

Seeing Qiao Zhaoxian flee into the distance, clearly intending to lure him away, the Blazing Flame Blood Devil Demon smiled disdainfully.

"This brat from the Tiandao Sect is trying to outmaneuver my Blazing Flame again? So he escapes from my grasp, and I'll become his new achievement. In the future, those old fogies of the Tiandao Sect can boast that their fake Core Formation disciple escaped from my hands."

"Hmph, do you think I'm that stupid? I'll kill these brats right now, refine their heads into blood bones, and they'll be by my side. That'll add another achievement to my record: Blazing Flame Blood Devil kills over a dozen Pseudo-Core cultivators in a single battle!"

He snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to Qiao Zhaoxian, and directly locked his Divine Sense onto Chen Dengming and the others below who were about to break through and escape.

But then he suddenly froze, his gaze instantly locking onto Chen Dengming, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes.

"It's that brat from the Longevity Sect!"

Below.

Chen Dengming's expression changed. He had only wanted to break through the encirclement with the others and let the Blazing Flame Blood Devil leave.

Unexpectedly, the Blazing Flame Blood Devil did not play by the rules at all and was not lured away by Qiao Zhaoxian. It seemed that he had already recognized him.

"You brat! This time, let's see where you run to!"

The Blazing Flame Blood Devil let out a fierce roar, its voice like a cannonball exploding above everyone's heads.

Chen Dengming instantly sensed a murderous aura approaching him.

Chi Yu and the others beside him were almost in despair, never expecting that the Blazing Flame Blood Devil would attack them.

The fierce and intense power of their Divine Sense already made them feel as if their souls were being burned, causing unbearable pain. Not to mention the terrifying blood cloud that followed, which covered everything and no one could escape.

Damn it!

Not far away, Qiao Zhaoxian's face was grim. He let out a long howl, transformed into a streak of light, and turned back.

Under the intense onslaught, Chen Dengming let out a long roar, a sound like the Dragon's Roar and the howl of a tiger.

His eyes hardened with coldness, and he made a hand seal.

"Whoosh!"

The Soul Shocking Silk shot out in front of him, transforming into countless cold rays that surged towards the blood cloud like a torrential downpour.

At the same time, his eyes shone brightly with silver light, and his divine sense seemed to transform into two vortexes, shooting out two silver beams that clashed with the suddenly attacking divine sense of the Blazing Blood Demon.

The power of the Dao instantly annihilated most of the Golden Core's Divine Sense, but a small portion still clashed with Chen Dengming's Divine Sense.

His mind went blank for a moment, a wave of palpitations and exhaustion washed over him, and he staggered backward, realizing that the battle had already taken a heavy toll on him. He feared he would have to fight to the death to maintain his peak fighting strength.

Those around him felt an astonishing, crushing pressure, which dissipated by most the instant Chen Dengming made his move, leaving them all shocked and bewildered.

Is this really Longevity Sect cultivator? Since when did Longevity Sect cultivators become capable of fighting against Golden Core cultivators?!

"Plop! Boom!"

In the air, the sound of countless Soul Shocking Silk colliding with the rolling blood clouds was like ten thousand iron balls rolling and rumbling on an iron plate.

Suddenly, a flash of Silver Light appeared, Soul Shocking Silk, highly condensed, spiraled and exploded with a sonic boom, tearing through the clouds and breaking free, startling the Blazing Flame Blood Devil.

"Die, all of you!!"

The Blazing Flame Blood Devil's eyes blazed with murderous intent. With a roar, his blood-red robes billowed, radiating a blinding crimson light.

He was like a blood-red sun hanging in the sky, unleashing his full power.

With a single claw strike, the air trembled violently!

The Spiritual Qi within a radius of a thousand feet was almost completely drained, creating a breathtaking red glow that seemed to converge into a giant blood-red five-fingered mountain, distorting the air and causing the sky to collapse and the earth to cave in, striking down fiercely.

Boom boom boom!

The surrounding air vibrated violently, bursting forth in layers of white shockwaves, as if a thunderclap had struck half the sky.

A massive mountain descended from the sky with the force of a thunderbolt.

With a series of "bang bang bang" sounds, the highly condensed Soul Shocking Silk were instantly crushed and exposed, scattering and flying away.

However, during this process, the crimson Five Finger Mountain was also worn down by layers of Daoist power.

Below, the Demon General and the heavily injured Molochara hurriedly retreated.

Chen Dengming was the first to bear the brunt, suffering immense physical and mental pressure and experiencing tremendous terror.

They had no choice but to quickly exchange their life force for Rong Qi to make up for the loss, while simultaneously unleashing the Indestructible Vajra Zen Skill.

In an instant, his hair turned completely white, his whole body shone with Silver Light, and he exuded a powerful and oppressive aura. His bones bulged and his muscles layered, and he instantly felt that the pressure had been greatly reduced.

The others around them had already begun to vomit blood, their bodies were flashing with spiritual light, their skin was covered in bulging veins, and their bodies were either swaying or kneeling on the ground.

Even the Devil Cultivator and Demon Beast screamed in agony before being blasted into blood mist by the powerful and terrifying pressure, clearing a large blood-red clearing.

This happened in the blink of an eye.

Before the mountain-like Blood Claw had even fully descended, everyone was already under terrifying pressure.

The Blazing Blood Demon's strength has far surpassed that of Lin He, the Lin family patriarch whom Chen Dengming once killed.

Just then, Qiao Zhaoxian turned his Tiandao Square Halberd around and charged forward with the force of thunder.

Three dazzling Golden Light emanated from his body, and his Core Power was mobilized to its maximum.

The flying halberd transformed into a gigantic weapon several dozen feet in size.

Like a small mountain, it shimmered with spiritual light and roared with a series of low, long booms that echoed in all directions.

It slammed heavily onto the mountain-like Blood Claw, producing a loud crash.

Click!!

The mountain-like Blood Claw was instantly torn open, revealing a large patch of blood-like light, yet it was still relentlessly crushed down amidst the Blazing Flame Blood Devil's roar.

The instant the Blood Claw came crashing down, Chen Dengming made a hand seal and used the Substitute Peach Tree Technique.

However, the Spiritual Qi in the air was completely drained, and without the Wood Elemental Spiritual Energy as a medium, the Technique Method failed.

He could only cross his arms as countless Soul Shocking Silk and Myriad Gold Pearl rapidly covered and spread throughout his entire body!

The next moment!

Thump!

The entire ground was sinking, the soil collapsed and cracked, and was then shaken into rubble, constantly bouncing and kicking up large clouds of dust.

Streams of blood foam gushed out from the cracks in the ground.

In mid-air, the Blazing Flame Blood Devil's face flushed red. He exhaled a long breath and suddenly activated his Law Treasure Flame Ring, to block Qiao Zhaoxian's enraged attack.

He looked down at the area below, which had been blasted into a cave-in, with a smug grin. "Kid! You're dead this time, aren't you!"

This Blood Mountain Claw, a top-tier third-order Technique Method, consumed almost forty percent of his Core Power.

It wouldn't be a disgrace if eleven fake cultivators could die from this attack.

Suddenly, at that moment, he abruptly sensed an extremely powerful and familiar aura below, as well as eight faint auras, and his old face changed.

"Not dead yet?"

Almost instantly, a violent whooshing sound erupted from below, transforming into a large, sharp, silver blade.

It fiercely cleaved through the smoke and dust, shooting out a brilliant white light that shot straight towards him in mid-air.

A towering figure, resembling a small giant, wielded a greatsword formed from countless Soul Shocking Silk. With a flash of white light, it burst through the dust and noise, instantly unleashing a sonic boom that sent shockwaves through the air.

Enveloped by the Law Treasure, Chen Dengming's escape speed was astonishing. He summoned the Soul Guiding Banner with one hand and called out his brothers within the banner.

At the same time, Qiao Zhaoxian seemed to have received a tacit signal and simultaneously made a low shout and attacked.

"Ban!"

As he made hand seals, his eyes emitted a dazzling blue light, and he chanted an obscure incantation.

Qi control technique!

The Blazing Flame Blood Devil froze, and just as he was about to mobilize his Core Power, he felt his internal energy becoming sluggish and his Core Power becoming difficult to circulate.

"A trivial skill!"

With a cold snort, his eyes glowed with blood-red light and condensed with blazing flames as his Divine Sense became highly concentrated.

However, just as he conceived the thought, an evil and insidious force suddenly invaded his mind.

He swept his Divine Sense across the area, immediately expelling the invading Divine Sense. He locked onto a head with sparse hair and pale blue eyes, which quickly approached. Two pitch-black ghostly claws grasped a strange single eye, emitting an eerie aura that could drive people mad and make them restless.

"What the hell is that?"

Upon witnessing that single eye, the Blazing Flame Blood Devil was horrified, and the vulnerability in his mind became even greater.

An evil force suddenly invaded, stirring up all his emotions and desires, giving rise to feelings of fear and anger.

In that instant, a chilling aura emanated from the top of the Blazing Flame Blood Devil Hejue's head, exuding a strong sense of danger.

"Roll!!"

He opened his mouth and shouted, unleashing a burst of intense Core Power, forcefully breaking free from all restraints.

A ring of Golden Light spread like the sun, blasting Zhu Xun.

The golden Core Power continued to spread and expand.

Five or six zhang above their heads, a dazzling Silver Light suddenly shone, accompanied by a terrifying thunderclap.

A massive blade slashed down like lightning, tearing through the air into shockwaves that erupted in succession with astonishing sonic booms.

Amidst the flashing blades, Chen Dengming was in a state of perfect harmony with the sword, feeling his entire body tremble violently as he endured immense pressure.

The bones in the arms, in particular, bear an enormous load.

This strike was not only incredibly swift and powerful, but it also withstood extremely strong air resistance.

Simply piercing the air is like piercing layers of iron plates, causing a tremendous tremor in one's arm.

If he hadn't been in a state of Indestructible Vajra Zen Skill, his arm would have been severed before the knife even reached the enemy.

But now, man and knife are one, like a small giant siege cannonball hurtling through the air!

Sudden!

Boom!

The air vibrated violently, as if an incredibly thick mass of paste had exploded!

The swirling Silver Light blade energy swiftly tore through the surging Core Power defenses, creating shockwaves that distorted the air, as if the sky itself had shattered and was falling in an instant.

"Not good!!"

The Blazing Flame Blood Devil's eyes narrowed, and the hairs on its body stood on end.

But at this moment, his Core Power had just been fully released, creating a power vacuum, so he had no choice but to immediately raise his Blood Claw to block it.

A loud clang rang out!

The Blood Claw was suddenly severed.

A dazzling greatsword, formed from countless Soul Shocking Silk of terrifying energy, pierced his chest with unstoppable force, instantly spurting blood.

On the ground, the Molochara was overjoyed just a moment ago, but the next moment he suddenly saw a swift white light shoot out from the dust and rush into the sky, then fall heavily back down.

Then came a bloodcurdling scream, seemingly coming from the mouth of the Blazing Flame Blood Devil.

He was immediately alarmed and quickly looked up.

A large, white-glowing blade, radiating a fierce aura, pierced through the Blazing Flame Blood Devil and hurtled straight towards the ground.

Then the blade struck down fiercely, cleaving everything from the chest and abdomen down in one stroke, causing the intestines to fall out of the air.

Provoke!!

A Golden Core Great Cultivator was killed in a single strike by a fake Golden Core cultivator from the Longevity Sect!

"How is that possible!?"

The Molochara immediately filled with terror.

Many Demon General looked up in horror, and seeing the blood splattered all over the sky and the waning pressure of the golden core, they were also filled with fear and trepidation.

At this moment, even Qiao Zhaoxian, who was on his own side, was shocked and his eyes showed disbelief as he watched the small giant, whose body was surrounded by silver aurora, rip open the belly of the famous Blazing Flame Blood Devil with a single slash.

Just then, an extremely intense golden light wave suddenly surged within the corpse of the Blazing Flame Blood Devil in mid-air.

An incredibly powerful surge of golden core energy began to surge and expand in the air.

The Molochara and Demon General were nearby all paled and immediately fled.

"Golden Core self-destructing?! Watch out!!"

Qiao Zhaoxian greatly alarmed and cried out.

Chen Dengming was closest to the Blazing Flame Blood Devil, was instantly terrified. He felt an extremely intense danger, accompanied by an aura that scorched his soul, rapidly expanding and surging from the shattered body of the Blazing Flame Blood Devil in front of him, forming a circle of chilling Golden Light.

Is it really necessary? Why does even a Golden Core cultivator have to self-destruct before dying?

Chen Dengming cursed inwardly and activated the Ghost Jade Bracelet without hesitation.

"Withdraw!"

Several bracelet shadows instantly interlocked and flew out.

His figure suddenly became somewhat transparent, and with even greater speed, he sped off towards the location of He Yingyu.

Unexpectedly, the moment he withdrew, the surging Golden Light gathered around the Blazing Flame Blood Devil's body suddenly dimmed and extinguished.

"You brat, I will avenge this one day!!"

Dao God spirit roared with resentment and panic as it fled, carrying a phantom golden core and a Storage Bag in its arms, and quickly disappeared.

A feint!

This cunning and treacherous Blazing Flame Blood Devil actually threatened Chen Dengming by self-destructing his golden core, and then immediately escaped with his soul.

This scene was completely unexpected even for Qiao Zhaoxian. He was stunned and wanted to give chase, but it was too late.

Just as the Blazing Flame Blood Devil's soul was about to escape, a strange, eerie laugh, accompanied by a chilling, malevolent power, suddenly enveloped the Blazing Flame Blood Devil's soul.

"Ah--"

The Blazing Flame Blood Devil's joy turned to sorrow.

A familiar yet powerful evil force invaded his mind, causing a sudden surge of two opposing emotions—fear and ecstasy—that left his soul spinning in place.

Zhu Xun, with his sparse hair and large head, descended from the sky. The single eye he held in his arms emitted an eerie light, locking onto the soul of the Blazing Flame Blood Devil.

With a grotesque laugh, it opened its blood-red maw and devoured the soul of the Blazing Flame Blood Devil.

"Good brother!"

In the distance, Chen Dengming realized what was happening, was overjoyed, and immediately turned his blade around and sped back.

Blazing Old Ghost, if you want revenge, then do it now. Let's see where you can run this time.

In mid-air, Qiao Zhaoxian also breathed a sigh of relief. He stared at Zhu Xun's ugly head for a while, made a guess in his mind, and then his heart pounded. He looked at Chen Dengming in surprise.

"This Fellow Daoist Chen is hiding his true strength very well."

As the dust settled, Qiao Zhaoxian's expression turned solemn. He glanced at his many teammates, whose auras were faint in the dust below, and a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes. He instantly locked onto the Molochara who was trying to escape below, let out a long roar, and gave chase.

After an incense stick has burned.

Two screams of despair and roars rang out in succession, followed by a violent burst of spiritual light in the air, which quickly subsided.

Two more corpses appeared on the ground.

One of them had a spiral horn on its head and a strong physique; it was clearly a Demon General.

The other person was handsome and imposing, his face filled with resentment, anger, and despair, and he was devoid of any life force; he was none other than the Molochara Prince.

Chen Dengming shook the Soul Guiding Banner, and Yin Wind blew, but it only pulled the Demon General's soul out and into the banner.

The Molochara Prince's soul seemed to have vanished without a trace, leaving him puzzled.

Beside him, Qiao Zhaoxian glanced strangely at the Soul Guiding Banner in Chen Dengming's hand.

I had long heard that the Law Technique and Law Artifact practiced by the Longevity Sect cultivators were extremely diverse, lacking a primary Cultivation Method, and therefore their combat strength varied greatly.

The sheer variety of this person is astounding, even employing the Soul Guiding Banner of a ghost cultivator; it's truly bizarre.

However, the opponent's strength was indeed ridiculously high. The combat power of the Longevity Sect cultivators varied greatly, which was no exaggeration. Some were extremely weak, while others were extremely strong.

"The soul of this Molochara Prince will likely perish within his bloodline upon his death."

Qiao Zhaoxian reminded them, "The royal family of the Mochao Kingdom is very proud. They believe that Rakshasa who are killed and defeated are not qualified Rakshasa and do not need to retain their souls after death. Therefore, their souls will dissipate after they are killed."

Only Rakshasa who die of old age will have their souls enter the legendary Rakshasa Holy Land after death.

"I see."

Chen Dengming nodded slightly, then looked at the corpse of the Molochara Prince and smiled, "With this corpse, our mission can be considered complete."

After laughing, his expression turned somewhat serious as he turned to look at the streaks of spiritual light flying closer in the distance.

Qiao Zhaoxian was also in a bad mood, but she still managed a forced smile at Chen Dengming.

"Thanks to Brother Chen, we could have succeeded in this mission. Otherwise, not only would we have failed, but we would all be in grave danger."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light suddenly appeared in the far distance.

Both of them changed their expressions slightly and quickly looked towards a very distant location.

Immediately following was a roar, slightly delayed by the light, that came belatedly from afar, as if stirring up gusts of wind.

"It seems that Senior Zhu and the others have started fighting."

Qiao Zhaoxian's expression changed slightly as he observed the intensity and frequency of the flashing light.

"We should take this opportunity to evacuate immediately."

Chen Dengming frowned.

At this moment, eight beams of spiritual light arrived, supporting them.

"Junior Brother."

He Yingyu's face was covered in dust, and her expression was gloomy.

The other people who had gathered also looked grim as they put down the two corpses.

Two more corpses appeared on the ground, this time belonging to our own people.

One of the men had striking features, with an air of arrogance about him; he was none other than Shangguan Congliang of the Tiandao Sect Shangguan Congliang.

The other person was ugly, with a flat nose, small eyes, and a thin build; he was Chi Yu of the Longevity Sect.

Chen Dengming glanced at the two acquaintances; one had a very good relationship with him, and the other had a rather bad one.

After the war, they both perished.

"Junior Brother Shangguan is the son of Shangguan Yunji Golden Core Elder of our sect."

Qiao Zhaoxian sighed and looked at Chen Dengming and the other Longevity Sect cultivators, saying, "Although Junior Brother Shangguan usually speaks frivolously and arrogantly, he is actually not a bad person."

Chen Dengming nodded in agreement. Shangguan Congliang's performance in the previous bloody battle was indeed incredibly brave and responsible. Given his noble background and his usual arrogant manner, it seemed normal in retrospect.

The fact that Shangguan Yunji, the Golden Core Elder of the Tiandao Sect, was willing to let his son risk his life on such a Battlefield is truly admirable and commendable.

If it were Chen Dengming himself, he would ask himself if he could easily let his offspring take such risks.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer; let's leave immediately."

Qiao Zhaoxian said something.

Everyone nodded, and then thanked Chen Dengming and Qiao Zhaoxian. Their gazes toward Chen Dengming were filled with complex emotions and astonishment.

Chen Dengming responded calmly and politely, as always, without arrogance or impatience.

A short while later.

Amidst the increasingly intense roar in the distance, a spirit boat swiftly ascended, breaking through the clouds and disappearing into the sky above.

Then they sped back towards the various sects in the Eastern Region.

On the spirit boat.

Chen Dengming sat alone in the banner, took some medicine to heal his injuries, and then circulated his Blood Qi and qi to restore his full head of white hair to normal, leaving only his sideburns for aesthetic purposes.

"Junior Brother, you should use this secret technique less often."

With a worried look in her eyes, He Yingyu approached gently, picking up a strand of Chen Dengming's white hair, her heart aching for him.

Chen Dengming laughed nonchalantly, "Senior Sister, I know what I'm doing, don't worry. This secret technique has saved my life many times. If I hadn't used it in crucial moments, I might not be able to laugh so freely right now."

After saying this, he thought of the Blood Demon Old Ghost who was imprisoned by the brothers in the banner, a smile appeared on his lips, and he took out a gray round bead that emitted a faint light, and said.

"I did not forget to record it with the Sound-Image Pearl this time, but would it be too high-profile to hand it over?"

He Yingyu smiled upon hearing this, "With so many people witnessing this, especially those warmongers from the Tiandao Sect, Junior Brother, even if you want to keep a low profile in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to..."
