Long Yeyue Dies, Chen Xinjie Loses His Mind, and Shrek Academy Is Done For

At that critical moment, Long Yeyue could only pull out her communication Soul Tool and call someone named Chen Xinjie.

Meanwhile, the fighting above the ruins of Shrek Academy had grown just as brutal.

The Nether Emperor wielded the Nether King Sword, its blade wreathed in the laws of death, as he battled Chen Xinjie.

Clad in his Vast Sea Cosmos Four-Word Battle Armor, Chen Xinjie poured out surging waves of Soul Power. He expanded his Vast Sea Domain to its limit and fought desperately to withstand the Nether Emperor's fierce assault.

Both were veteran Quasi-Gods. Without using the Sea God Helmet, Chen Xinjie could not defeat the Nether Emperor quickly.

Just then, he noticed his communicator ringing. He recognized Long Yeyue's ringtone at once and was overjoyed. He moved to answer, but the Nether Emperor cut him off.

Elsewhere, Yun Ming's injuries had become severe.

After blocking two God-Slaying Cannon shells in succession, his combat strength had fallen below the Limit Douluo level.

Yet his opponents were the Blood Demon, the eldest of the Holy Spirit Cult's Four Heavenly Kings and a veteran level-ninety-nine Limit Douluo, along with Dark Bell and Dark Hummingbird, two powerful fighters who specialized in mental attacks and devouring souls.

Terrifying blood-red baleful energy coiled around the Blood Demon as he kept Yun Ming firmly in his sights. Dark Bell and Dark Hummingbird took positions on either side, surrounding Yun Ming while unleashing one strange soul skill after another.

Ding-a-ling! Bzzzz!

Eerie, ethereal sounds swept across the battlefield, carrying a powerful dizzying, soul-devouring effect.

Yun Ming's soul was already damaged and his Soul Power unstable. Under their interference, his combat strength fell even further.

Leng Yaozhu's heart tightened. She immediately enveloped herself and Yun Ming in Nirvana Phoenix Flame to ward off the Evil Spirit Sound. At the same time, she unleashed Heavenly Phoenix Burns the World at full force. Phoenix flames poured down from the sky, driving the Blood Demon back.

"Hold on, Yun Ming!"

Yun Ming's face was deathly pale. He could only defend, struggling to fend off the Blood Demon and the other two Heavenly Kings with his Heaven-Reaching Spear.

Leng Yaozhu could not bear to see him like this. She threw herself into blocking every attack aimed at him. Whether it was a deadly evil-spirit assault or the Blood Demon's blood-fiend attack, she held nothing back, even burning her own Soul Power and vital blood.

After taking several blows in succession, her body reached its limit. She was only a level-ninety-eight Super Douluo, after all.

Even so, she steered her Phoenix Wings across the battlefield, intercepting one lethal attack after another for Yun Ming.

Watching Leng Yaozhu's face grow paler, Qian Gu Dongfeng felt his heart bleed.

He was close to losing control. He wanted to save her, but if he did, wouldn't everything they had worked for go to waste?

Yet seeing Leng Yaozhu suffer like this tore at him.

"Damn you, Yun Ming!

Aaaah...

You dared let Yaozhu suffer like this. I'll never forgive you."

With that, Qian Gu Dongfeng summoned his Coiling Dragon Staff and prepared to rush in.

But just then, a thicker Coiling Dragon Staff and a Halberd pinned him from the left and right.

"Hold this fool down."

"Yes, Father."

"Dad, Brother, what are you doing?

Yaozhu's about to die! I have to save her!

Let me go! Waaah!"

"We've never managed to take over the Leng Family because you keep giving in to her, you fool. You've let her demand more and more. It would be better if she died."

"Don't you dare say that about her!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng's face flushed red, and he breathed like a bull.

But all he could do was rage helplessly.

At last, Leng Yaozhu could hold out no longer. The Blood Demon sent her flying with a palm strike.

Yun Ming did not even glance at her. Instead, a cold smile touched his lips. The Heaven-Reaching Spear in his hand had taken solid form again, and not a trace of weakness remained on his face. His aura had stabilized at the Limit Douluo level.

Just moments ago, Ya Li had transferred all her Power of Faith to him. Thanks to the time Leng Yaozhu had bought, he had partially recovered from his injuries, replenished his Soul Power, and repaired his Martial Soul.

Now, with the Heaven-Reaching Spear in hand, he could easily kill these opponents who were not even Demigods.

Then he and Chen Xinjie could kill the Nether Emperor and the Ghost Emperor together. Today would not be such a costly day after all. It might even go down in history.

He, Yun Ming, would have destroyed the entire Holy Spirit Cult. That would be a genuine achievement.

"This Pavilion Master has regained his strength."

Yun Ming gripped the Heaven-Reaching Spear, a sharp glint in his eyes.

"If none of you are concealing your cultivation, then you can die."

With that, Yun Ming charged at the Blood Demon, eager to settle the score.

Elsewhere!

Long Yeyue was at the end of her strength. When Chen Xinjie finally answered her call, she shouted at once:

"Chen Xinjie, if you don't come now, all you'll be doing is collecting my corpse! I'm really about to die!"

"Don't kill me! Please don't kill me! I'll give you everything! I'll give you the Dragon Horns, Dragon Claws, and Dragon Scales.

You wield darkness. Are you the Demon Empress?

I can tell you all of Shrek Academy's secrets too. Just spare my life."

"Long Yeyue!"

Yun Ming gritted his teeth and roared.

Chen Xinjie, meanwhile, was nearly out of his mind.

"Yeyue, what happened?

Who is he?"

"Who are you?"

Chen Xinjie roared. He could no longer keep his composure. With the Nether Emperor's attacks clinging to him relentlessly, he summoned the Sea God Helmet. Sea God's Light burst forth and forced the Nether Emperor back. Then, abandoning the battlefield, he sped toward the Coordinates Long Yeyue had given him.

Yun Ming stared in disbelief.

"Chen Xinjie, you dare?"

"Why wouldn't I?

I only helped you fight the evil soul masters because of Yeyue. Now that she's in trouble, of course I have to save her.

Hold out a little longer. I'll be right back."

With that, Chen Xinjie cast everything else aside and vanished into the distance.

Yun Ming fell into utter despair. Victory had finally been within reach, and Chen Xinjie had let them down again. All because of Long Yeyue. That wretch would not stop until she had brought Shrek Academy to ruin.

"Yun Ming, your ally is a joke."

With Chen Xinjie gone, the Nether Emperor had no reason to pursue him. He immediately turned his sword on Yun Ming. His Quasi-God cultivation put Yun Ming under immense pressure.

After regaining some of his strength, Yun Ming had finally gained the upper hand. But with Chen Xinjie's departure, the tide of battle reversed in an instant.

Elsewhere, Long Yeyue's shield had shattered and her Four-Word Battle Armor had been reduced to fragments. She lay on the ground, her aura feeble.

Di Tian raised a hand. A powerful suction yanked Long Yeyue off the ground, and his bloodstained Dragon Claw closed around her throat, suspending her in midair.

"You can't kill me.

If you do, my husband will avenge me.

He's stronger than Yun Ming. He's the Vast Sea Douluo, the master of the War God Temple, and he possesses a Divine Artifact. If you kill me, he'll hunt you to the ends of the earth."

"If those are your last words, they're ugly ones.

I could have killed you in a single move. I only toyed with you for so long because I wanted to make you suffer before you died.

Even I find that beneath me.

But letting someone like you die quickly would leave me dissatisfied. I simply couldn't bear it."

"Even as a ghost, I won't—"

Crack!

Di Tian snapped her neck. Long Yeyue died on the spot.

After killing her, Di Tian said flatly:

"This is all Shrek Academy amounts to, yet the Master insists on remaining hidden. I truly don't understand."

With that, Di Tian took every Dragon Horn, Dragon Claw, and Dragon Scale from Long Yeyue's Storage Soul Tool. He tore open space and left without a backward glance.

Only Long Yeyue's corpse remained, its eyes wide, as though she were repenting her sins.

Chen Xinjie arrived some time later.

The moment he saw Long Yeyue's body, he went mad.

"Who?

Who was it?

Who did this?

Waaah! You damned bastard, you've taken away my love!"
