With no time to check whether Yu Ji was alive or dead, Xiao Ying flashed toward Kong Wu. A skyful of spear shadows stabbed down, denying Kong Wu any chance to unleash his power!
Kong Wu's expression darkened. His figure flickered and vanished, reappearing beside Immortal Empress Yu Ji in the blink of an eye. With a sweep of his treasured fan, every dense strand of Sword Qi she had released disappeared without a trace...
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Thousand-Armed Demon King Zhang De, whom Yu Ji had harried into a towering rage, erupted with magical power in wild delight. An enormous octopus manifestation appeared, its flailing tentacles filling the sky like arrows and blades as they battered toward Yu Ji in a fierce, relentless barrage.
"Crack..."
Xiao Ying's face changed in alarm, but it was already too late to react. Fortunately, Hua Qiandai lashed out with the Heaven-Seeking Divine Whip, turning it into a pitch-black net that blocked the space before Yu Ji...
Countless octopus tentacles, incomparably tough and hard as steel, plunged into the great net, only to be sliced apart as easily as noodles. Blood sprayed from Zhang De's entire body, drenching him red. Clearly, those tentacles were not merely condensed magical power; some were parts of his body as well.
Xiao Ying inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. The eight wings of wind, fire, lightning, and space spread behind him, and he appeared beside Kong Wu as though teleporting, thrusting his spear with lightning speed...
Kong Wu's face darkened. Just as a wind blade swept past, he vanished... Wind Evasion!
A breath later, he appeared behind Consort Qin, Li Yanyan, and was about to act...
Locked onto Kong Wu's aura, Xiao Ying appeared only a hundredth of a breath later and stabbed down with his spear again...
