The Demon Race Flees in Defeat

The sea wind howled, and blood mist filled the sky.

In an instant, the area within a hundred miles was shrouded in blood mist.

The Heaven-Burning Eagle looked at the mist that filled the surroundings, a hint of weariness flashing in its single eye.

It raised its head to the sky and let out a cry.

A violent and scorching aura swept outwards in all directions to the west.

Under the impact of this aura, the surrounding blood mist, like clouds swept up by a gale, swirled and surged, spreading into the distance.

Suddenly.

From the surging blood mist, nine transparent blades shot out, aiming straight for the head of the Heaven-Burning Eagle.

The Heaven-Burning Eagle's eyes narrowed; it was another Divine Sense attack. It had been defeated in a single move during the day.

The cunning Human Race deliberately feigned weakness, their true intention in dismantling the Blood Mountain was to use the blood mist to confuse its senses.

The Heaven-Burning Eagle cursed the Human Race inwardly for their despicable nature. With a flap of its wings, it tried to flee.

However, the Divine Sense Blade was already within reach; there was no time to escape now.

Nine Divine Sense Blade pierced its head one after another.

The excruciating pain that penetrated deep into its soul instantly blurred the Heaven-Burning Eagle's consciousness, causing it to lose control and plummet towards the sea below.

After falling more than ten feet, the consciousness of the Heaven-Burning Eagle slowly returned.

It had just regained its senses when it noticed nine Corpse-Suppressing Nails shooting towards it, all targeting its only left eye.

With a flap of its wings, blazing flames erupted from between its wings like a volcano, rushing straight towards the nine Corpse-Suppressing Nails that were shooting towards it.

At the same time, its body retreated rapidly under the cover of flames.

The flames swept away the Corpse-Suppressing Nails, and the Heaven-Burning Eagle escaped the blood mist's coverage in a matter of breaths. Then, it fled into the distance.

The Heaven-Burning Eagle could escape, but the Black Flood Dragon could not.

It is still trapped in the sword formation.

Within the sword formation, Sword Qi crisscrossed, each imbued with sharp, metallic essence.

Under the frenzied onslaught of countless Sword Qi, the scales on the Black Flood Dragon's body suffered varying degrees of damage. Some were left with white marks, while others developed cracks from the repeated attacks of the Sword Qi.

Seeing the Heaven-Burning Eagle escape, the Black Flood Dragon knew that it could only rely on itself to get away.

A resolute glint flashed in its eyes, and with a spit, black Nether Spring True Water shot out once more, crashing into the array barrier in front of it.

Ice crystals instantly condensed on the array barrier.

Before the Daoist Lan Yin could dispel the ice crystals on the barrier, the Black Flood Dragon suddenly accelerated, its majestic head slamming into the icy part of the barrier.

The Black Flood Dragon was instantly smashed open, bleeding profusely. A large number of scales fell off, revealing a bloody, mangled wound and a stark white skull underneath.

The collision severely injured the Black Flood Dragon, but it also accomplished nothing.

Under the full force of the Black Flood Dragon's impact, the nine flying swords forming the sword formation shimmered with light; the originally orderly Sword Qi within the formation also became chaotic.

Ignoring the injury on its head, the Black Flood Dragon suddenly swung its long tail and struck the spot where it had just been hit.

The nine flying swords shone brightly for a moment, then dimmed again, their power diminishing sharply.

The array barrier composed of Sword Qi shattered with a roar, transforming into boundless Sword Qi that swirled wildly in all directions.

The tail of the Black Flood Dragon was also severely damaged, with many scales broken and blood flowing freely.

Looking at the Lan Yin, who was suspended in mid-air above the high wall, Black Flood Dragon's vertical pupils revealed a deep hatred.

With a flick of its tail, its massive body suddenly lunged forward, pouncing towards the Daoist nun Lan Yin.

The Black Flood Dragon had only flown a few dozen feet when a look of panic flashed in its eyes. Its tail twitched again, and it abruptly turned around and fled into the distance.

The Black Flood Dragon suddenly fled because a square-shaped magic ruler was shooting towards it from behind the Daoist nun Lan Yin.

The ruler was entirely black, resembling both gold and wood, and about two feet long, covered with golden runes.

As the runes flowed, a powerful aura, seemingly the will of heaven and earth, emanated from the ruler.

When the Daoist Lan Yin saw the suddenly appearing magic ruler, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She turned around and saw a middle-aged male cultivator dressed as a Daoist walking towards her.

"Senior Brother Yunxu, what brings you here? You should be stationed at the two Extreme Island right now!" asked Lan Yin in surprise.

The newcomer was Yunxu, another Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Two Forms Sect, Nascent Soul Late Stage.

He looked at the Black Flood Dragon that had already fled to the distant horizon, a murderous intent that he could hardly conceal in his eyes.

"Junior sister, you can rest assured. So far, apart from the Four Symbols City, no trace of the Demon Race has been found anywhere else," Yunxu said.

"What if the Demon Race are using a feint attack, or there are Demon Race lying in ambush? If you leave, wouldn't you be putting Extreme Island in danger?" said the Daoist Lan Yin with deep concern.

"The vast majority of the Demon Race's forces are tied up in the Northern Region. Where would they get the extra troops to launch a multi-pronged attack on our Two Forms Sect?" Yunxu explained.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Furthermore, there's a protective formation on the Extreme Island. Even without Nascent Soul Cultivator in charge, one or two fourth-tier Demon Race wouldn't be able to break through it in a short time. Even if there are other Demon Race lying in ambush, we'll have enough time to return to the sect and provide reinforcements."

"But..."

Lan Yin Dao Gu was still a little uneasy and wanted to say something more, but Yunxu interrupted her directly.

"There are no 'buts' about it. If we don't chase after him now, we'll never have another chance to catch up with the Black Flood Dragon. Right now, with the Black Flood Dragon deep in the Central Region, it's the best time to eliminate him. His death will greatly weaken the Demon Race's strength. Once he escapes to the Outer Sea, killing him won't be so easy."

After Yunxu finished speaking, without waiting for Lan Yin Dao Gu to respond, he chased after the Black Flood Dragon, which could now only be seen as a black dot.

Lan Yin stared at Yunxu's retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, then summoned a spaceship and shouted loudly.

"All Golden Core cultivators, follow me aboard the ship and pursue the remnants of the Demon Race army."

Lan Yin, the Daoist nun, was unwilling to pursue the Black Flood Dragon, but she also knew that she couldn't let Yunxu risk his life alone.

Including Purple Cloud, a total of twelve Golden Core cultivators boarded the spaceship.

Lan Yin Dao Gu discovered that Song Wen had not moved and was still communicating with Zhu Yin through Divine Sense communication.

"Zhu Yin and Extreme Yin, thank you both for your help. The Demon Race have retreated, and the crisis has been resolved. If you wish to leave, please do so."

After saying that, Daoist Lan Yin urged the spaceship forward and chased after Yunxu.

Zhu Yin summoned the Star Raft Divine Ark and addressed Song Wen Wendao.

"Extreme Yin, board the ship."

Song Wen knew that she was going to chase after Lan Yin Dao Gu and the others.

"Zhu Yin, why should we get involved in this mess? Let's just leave," Song Wen said.

"I'm just going to follow them and see what happens. If we really encounter Demon Race, we'll flee immediately," Zhu Yin said.

Song Wen shook his head helplessly and finally boarded the Star Raft Divine Ark.

Black Flood Dragon's injuries seemed quite severe. Not only was Yunxu closing in on him, but even in the eyes of Daoist Lan Yin, his figure appeared to be growing larger and larger.

While urging the spaceship forward, the Daoist nun Lan Yin used her Divine Sense to search the seabed.

She discovered that there was no trace of the Demon Race in the deep sea, and even the two Merfolk who had appeared earlier were nowhere to be found.

A bad feeling inexplicably rose in her heart.

"Bang!"

Perhaps realizing that it couldn't shake off Yunxu and the others in the high sky, the Black Flood Dragon suddenly plunged into the sea after escaping for hundreds of miles, creating a huge splash.

Yunxu hesitated for a moment, then followed suit and dived into the sea.

Seeing this, the Daoist nun Lan Yin felt even more uneasy, but she still steered her boat and ventured into the sea.
