The figure wreathed in Demonic Energy appeared and immediately struck at Jiang Zhishen.
The attack was vicious, ruthless, and terrifyingly swift.
If that palm strike landed, it would not only interrupt Jiang Zhishen's breakthrough—it would likely kill him.
Worse, the attacker had chosen his moment perfectly. No one nearby could reach Jiang Zhishen in time.
As for Su Ye's Extreme Dao Blood Pupil...
"That Mental Attack can't hurt an Eighth Heaven expert! Everyone, attack! Kill Bald Head first!"
Grayson roared and charged ahead.
When the strange Mental Attack had first appeared, he too had panicked.
But as people around him fell one after another, Grayson noticed something: the strongest among the dead had only reached the Seventh Heaven of Chaofan.
Not a single Transcendent Eighth Heaven expert had died.
Clearly, whoever was attacking from the shadows wasn't strong enough to affect anyone at the Transcendent Eighth Heaven or above.
So what the hell was there to fear?!
Jiang Zhishen was the greater threat. They could not let him complete his breakthrough!
Above him was the newly arrived Demon King.
All around him, Blood Demon Cult experts surged forward.
Caught in the middle of his breakthrough, Jiang Zhishen was suddenly in deadly danger.
"What do we do?!"
"Brother Jiang!"
Cries of alarm rang out.
Edward and the Xu Family's Bodyguard Team rushed to help, but they were too late.
Just then...
"Sigh."
A sigh sounded.
A figure appeared out of nowhere and, in an instant, stood above Jiang Zhishen.
Elder Xu!
Xu Yinyin's guardian.
At this critical moment, Elder Xu had finally stepped in.
His duty was to protect Xu Yinyin, but she had previously begged him to save Su Ye and Jiang Zhishen at any cost if they were ever truly in danger.
And so Elder Xu acted.
