Secondly, the Devil Race didn't try to seize the Heaven-Opening Sword from them, but instead entered Phoenix Valley. Could it be that there's some treasure the Devil Race want in the valley? We absolutely cannot let the Devil Race succeed!
"This should be it." The Devil Race Envoy noticed the Demon Disk in his hand vibrating. Suddenly, he waved his hand, signaling the Devil Race Army to stop in front of a waterfall filled with Spiritual Qi and rush into it.
Phoenix flew above them, relentlessly spewing Phoenix Blaze at them to prevent them from entering the waterfall. The waterfall contained a secret treasure guarded by the Phoenix Lineage for generations; no one could steal it!
The Phoenix Blaze were incredibly powerful, burning the Devil Race soldiers to a crisp and causing them to fall one by one.
The Devil Race's Right Envoy remained calm and took out a black magic bottle from the Demon Ring. He had come to Phoenix Valley to search for a secret treasure on the orders of the Demon Venerable, and he had made preparations for the Phoenix Blaze Demon Venerable, having previously sent Abyssal Demon Dragon to investigate.
The magic bottle continuously spewed out Devil Race Holy Water, easily extinguishing the immensely powerful Phoenix Blaze.
To boost morale, the Devil Race King swung his massive sword, taller than a man, and swiftly struck a fiery Phoenix from the sky, killing it instantly.
A flock of Phoenix circled overhead, encircling the dead Phoenix, emitting mournful cries and performing a mournful dance. The beautiful, multicolored tail feathers instantly lost their luster.
The Phoenix's Nirvana Flame is already scarce, and it had been almost completely used up when fighting the Demon Dragon. Now, facing the overwhelming Devil Race, the Phoenixes were powerless to fight back.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Devil Race killed several more Phoenix.
Those sacred and dazzling Phoenix were killed one after another by the Devil Race.
Before the Spirit Spring Waterfall, the blood of the Phoenix flowed into a river, its crimson color shocking to behold, and mournful cries echoed throughout the entire Phoenix Valley, stirring a sense of sorrow in all who beheld it.
Ye Qinghui clenched his fists, he was beyond furious. He quickly flew over Qiongqi's back on his sword, "Qingchuan and Qingyao, you two come with me to slay the Devil Race. Junior Sister, you stay on Qiongqi and don't get off!"
He raised his Flowing Light Sword and struck directly at the Devil Race Right Envoy's broadsword, which was about to slash at the Phoenix. In a flash, the sword and blade collided violently, creating a tremendous shockwave that sent the Spirit Spring soaring a hundred meters high, and instantly cracked many large rocks nearby.
"Who goes there? How dare you ruin my Devil Race's grand plan!" The Devil Race's Right Envoy, his face veiled in black robes, stared at Ye Qinghui with eyes that emitted a ghostly green light. "You brat, are you courting death?"
The Devil Race's Right Envoy unleashed his demonic power, and a surging black pressure immediately spread out like lightning and thunder. He had broken through the Demon Infant Stage and entered the Aperture Opening, which is equivalent to the early stage of the Spirit Transformation for Human Race cultivators, and his strength far surpassed that of Ye Qinghui, who was in the Nascent Soul Late Stage realm.
Dressed in white, with her robes fluttering, Ye Qinghui wielded her slender and Flowing Light Sword, moving with the grace of a startled swan and the power of a swimming dragon, fiercely battling the Devil Race's Right Envoy like a beacon of justice.
Ye Qingchuan, Ye Qingyao, and the others led the Phoenixes in a fierce standoff with the Devil Race soldiers.
Although the Devil Race Right Envoy was superior in terms of cultivation level, no one could gain any advantage under Ye Qinghui's swift sword. With a slight shift of his feet, as if a dragon were playing in the water, he transformed the Flowing Light Sword into ten thousand stars, striking the Devil Race Right Envoy.
The Devil Race's Right Envoy was caught off guard and completely at a disadvantage.
[First Senior Brother, watch out!] Ye Zhenzhen, perched on Qiongqi's back, clearly saw the Devil Race's Right Envoy suddenly dodge to the side and take out a blood-red umbrella-shaped Devil Artifact. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Isn't that the Demon Venerable's Crimson Blood Demon Umbrella?"
The Crimson Blood Demon Umbrella is said to be the Demon Venerable's most treasured possession. Having absorbed a large amount of blood, it exudes a terrifying, bloody Devil Qi, and its malevolent energy is almost unstoppable. Once the Crimson Blood Demon Umbrella is unleashed, it must drain the blood of its enemies before it will be put away.
Ye Qinghui was relentlessly pursued by the Crimson Blood Demon Umbrella. If he was not careful, his skin would be cut by its sharp blades and his blood would be sucked out of his body.
"Hahaha, how dare you ruin the Demon Venerable Lord's plans! Let me show you the power of the Demon Umbrella!" The Devil Race's Right Envoy laughed heartily from the side, easily watching the good show unfold before him, just waiting for the Crimson Blood Demon Umbrella to knock this Human Race cultivator, brimming with spiritual energy, to the ground, drain his blood, and further enhance the power of the Demon Umbrella.
[Qiongqi, go quickly to help my First Senior Brother. If anything happens to him, I will hold you responsible.] Seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen jumped off Qiongqi and told Qiongqi to go help Ye Qinghui.
Qiongqi is a High Antiquity ferocious beast, which can suppress the Crimson Blood Demon Umbrella to a certain extent.
As expected, Qiongqi used its powerful body to cover Ye Qinghui. The Crimson Blood Demon Umbrella could not penetrate Qiongqi's iron-like scales. Instead, it was repeatedly struck by Ye Qinghui's sudden Sword Qi, making it dizzy and disoriented. Seeing this, the Devil Race's Right Envoy rejoined the melee, attempting to attack Ye Qinghui behind Qiongqi.
Ye Zhenzhen, who had just escaped Qiongqi's clutches, was immediately besieged by Devil Race soldiers. Fortunately, her Heaven and Earth Pearl was full of treasures. With quick reflexes, she took out a bunch of Red Lotus Flower-Burial Needles and a stack of Weak Water Talisman given to her by Ye Qingchuan, and fired them one after another at the Devil Race around her.
The Devil Race fell to the ground one by one, unable to get even a step closer to her.
However, Ye Zhenzhen was still in the body of a baby and could not see and hear everything around her. If she relaxed her guard even slightly, Devil Race would sneak up behind her and take the opportunity to attack her.
Just as a Devil Race was about to pierce her heart with an arrow, Ye Qingchuan flashed forward, stabbing the Devil Race soldier to death and shielding the Little Glutinous Rice Ball behind him. More and more Devil Race pressed forward, using their numbers to surround them. Ye Qingchuan fought off the demons while carefully retreating with Ye Zhenzhen to the side of the waterfall.
A strange suction force pulled them into the waterfall.
Before they could react, they had already entered the cave inside the waterfall. Strangely, the waterfall appeared to be brimming with Spiritual Qi from the outside, but the deeper they went into the cave, the more Devil Qi surged, with black mist swirling around it.
Ye Qingchuan took a deep breath, then stretched out his arms, and Devil Qi poured into his body like a whirlwind. The Devil Qi around him surged, and faint black lines appeared on his originally flawless white skin.
