The Embroidered Spring Blade of Jin San, one of the Brocade Guard's Thirteen Taibaos, moved like a dragon, tearing through the air with ear-piercing shrieks wherever its blade passed.

Flying Eagle, the Eastern Depot's Supervisor, wielded his judge's pens, transforming them into a sky full of starlight. Each stroke carried a bone-chilling internal force, sealing off all of Illusion Zenith Sovereign's escape routes.

Under the combined assault of these two fourth-rank experts, Illusion Zenith Sovereign, despite his profound cultivation, gradually felt the strain.

His figure flickered like a ghost, his palm strikes surged like raging waves, but Jin San's blade techniques were fierce and domineering, while Flying Eagle's moves were cunning and venomous. The two coordinated seamlessly, forcing him into a desperate situation!

"Illusion Zenith Sovereign, today is your death day!" Jin San roared with laughter, his blade stance suddenly changing, like a tiger descending the mountain, directly cleaving towards the Sovereign's head!

Illusion Zenith Sovereign coldly snorted, his palms crossed, and a black aura suddenly erupted, forcefully colliding with the blade!

"Boom—!"

The force exploded, Jin San was blasted back several steps, his tiger's mouth numb, while Illusion Zenith Sovereign also had blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, clearly suffering internal injuries.

Just then—

"Husband, don't be afraid, your concubine is here to help you!"

A charming voice suddenly rang out, and then, a figure in a pink dress, like smoke and mist, floated in.

Desire Zenith Sovereign gracefully landed, her gauze dress lightly fluttering, vaguely revealing her exquisite figure beneath. Her phoenix eyes were full of affection, yet also carried a sharp killing intent.

She cultivated the Heavenly Desire Palace's supreme charm technique—the Lustful Soul-Seizing Art. Every gesture and movement could bewilder the mind. Ordinary men would lose their composure and be at her mercy with just one glance.

Seeing this, Jin San laughed heartily: "Supervisor Flying Eagle, you should deal with this woman! She has no effect on you!"

Flying Eagle's face darkened, his effeminate voice filled with anger: "Centurion Jin, it's a bit much to say such things at a time like this."

Jin San scratched his head, smiling awkwardly: "This humble one is just a boor, please don't take offense, Supervisor."

Seeing his wife arrive, Illusion Zenith Sovereign showed no joy, but instead roared: "What are you doing here?!"

Desire Zenith Sovereign's eyes were filled with tears, but she stubbornly said: "Husband, how can I leave you alone?"

Flying Eagle coldly laughed, flicking his orchid fingers: "Truly a loving couple, this humble one will send you to be tragic lovebirds today!"

Before his voice faded, his figure suddenly flickered, his judge's pens stabbing towards Desire Zenith Sovereign's throat like a viper spitting its tongue!

Although Desire Zenith Sovereign's charm techniques were unparalleled, against Flying Eagle's eunuch body, the power of lust was greatly reduced.

She bit her silver teeth, and a red silk ribbon flew out from her sleeve, wrapping around Flying Eagle's wrist like a spirit snake. At the same time, her delicate body turned, avoiding the fatal blow.

Seeing this, Illusion Zenith Sovereign knew that today would not end well, and he growled: "Get close to me!"

The two stood back to back, facing the siege of Jin San and Flying Eagle. Illusion Zenith Sovereign said in a deep voice: "I'll hold them off for a while, you go after Li Er! You must rescue our son!"

Desire Zenith Sovereign's eyes were filled with tears: "No! I can't leave you!"

"Go!" Illusion Zenith Sovereign roared, "If we both die here, Li Er will surely die!"

With that, he suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence. The black aura around him surged violently, and he formed hand seals, shouting:

"Shadow Doppelganger!"

In an instant, Illusion Zenith Sovereign's figure split into two, two black shadows simultaneously pouncing towards Jin San and Flying Eagle!

"Go!" One of the black shadows suddenly struck out with a palm, using gentle force to send Desire Zenith Sovereign dozens of feet away!

Desire Zenith Sovereign looked back with tears in her eyes, only to see her husband's two figures already fighting with Jin San and Flying Eagle, the aura crisscrossing, the entire long street trembling!

She suppressed her grief and turned into a pink stream of light, speeding towards the direction where Jade Faced Fox had fled, with only one thought in her mind—

"My son, don't be afraid, Mother is coming to save you!"

At this time, Jade Faced Fox had already been carried by three Heavenly Desire Palace death warriors to a dense forest in the suburbs. However, the pursuers led by Li Chen Zhou and Liu Xian were getting closer and closer!

"Young Master, hold on a little longer!" One of the death warriors gritted his teeth, his right arm having been pierced by a poisoned arrow. His entire arm was tinged with a strange bluish-purple color, clearly unable to hold on for much longer.

Jade Faced Fox nodded weakly, but a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes: "Li Chen Zhou... if I can survive, I will make you pay with blood!"

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the dense forest ahead!

"Be on guard!" The death warrior shouted sharply, and the three immediately protected Jade Faced Fox in the center, their blades facing outwards.

However, the next moment—

"It's me!"

Desire Zenith Sovereign floated down, her pink dress stained with blood, yet still incomparably beautiful.

She saw her son's miserable state at a glance, her heart aching. She quickly stepped forward to support him: "Li Er! How are you?"

Seeing his mother, Jade Faced Fox finally broke down and cried: "Mother! They... they crippled my martial arts!"

Desire Zenith Sovereign's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but with the situation being critical, she suppressed her anger and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Mother will take you home."

However, at this moment—

"Home?" Li Chen Zhou's cold voice came from outside the forest, "I'm afraid you won't have that chance."

Around the dense forest, countless torches lit up, Eastern Depot agents, Brocade Guard, and the Black Armor Army had surrounded the area!

Liu Xian said with a sinister smile: "The remnants of the Heavenly Desire Palace, we will eliminate them all today!"

Desire Zenith Sovereign protected her son behind her, her phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent, the red silk ribbon moving without wind: "If you want to touch my son, you'll have to get past me first!"

Li Chen Zhou's blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight. He stepped forward, the Golden Bell Shield aura erupting, faint golden Sanskrit characters flowing around him, like a Vajra descending to earth.

"Desire Zenith Sovereign, you won't escape today!"

Although Liu Xian's Heart Severing Sword was destroyed, the poisoned silver needles hidden in his sleeves glinted coldly as he chuckled sinisterly, "The Heavenly Desire Palace's charm techniques are useless against this one."

Desire Zenith Sovereign sneered, her red silk ribbons coiling around her arms like bloody snakes. Although she wasn't known for her martial prowess, she was still a peak sixth-grade expert. Now, fiercely protective of her son, her killing intent surged even higher!

"Just you?"

She attacked suddenly! The red ribbons lashed out at Li Chen Zhou like living things, while her left palm struck, a pink energy blast heading straight for Liu Xian's face!

Li Chen Zhou roared, his saber flashing like a rainbow, forcefully cleaving the red ribbons. But the silk was like a bone-deep curse, rejoining itself the moment it was severed, instead wrapping around his wrist!

"Hmm?" He suddenly realized his inner energy was sluggish—the red ribbons were soaked in dissolving powder!

Liu Xian dodged the pink energy blast, but as the palm wind brushed past his cheek, it caused a ripple in his mind, almost making him lose his focus!

"What powerful charm techniques!" He was horrified, even as a eunuch, he was affected!

Desire Zenith Sovereign seized the opportunity, her figure flashing like a ghost behind Li Chen Zhou, her five fingers forming a claw, aiming straight for his heart!

"Die!"

At the critical moment—

"Shhh!"

A streak of black light tore through the air. Desire Zenith Sovereign instinctively tilted her head, the hidden weapon grazing her cheek, leaving a trail of blood.

"Ten-Finger Yama is here, witch, cease your madness!"

From the shadows of the dense forest, a tall, gaunt man slowly emerged. He wore black iron claws on both hands, the fingertips glowing with a ghostly blue sheen, obviously coated with deadly poison.

The Brocade Guard Thirteen Protectors, ranked tenth—Ten-Finger Yama, Yan Shi!

Desire Zenith Sovereign's pupils shrank. This man was famous in the martial world for his poisoned claws, having fought three sixth-grade experts alone without defeat. He was a dangerous figure heavily marked in the Heavenly Desire Palace's intelligence!

"Mother..." Jade Faced Fox called out weakly, his eyes filled with fear.

Desire Zenith Sovereign's mind raced. Although Li Chen Zhou was affected by the dissolving powder, the addition of Ten-Finger Yama completely reversed the situation. If they continued to entangle themselves, both mother and son would surely die!

"Let's go!"

She suddenly threw out three smoke bombs, and pink mist instantly filled the entire dense forest. At the same time, the red ribbons scooped up Jade Faced Fox, and she leaped onto the treetops!

"Trying to run?" Ten-Finger Yama sneered, waving his iron claws, five streams of poisonous energy tearing through the smoke, but he was still a step too late—

Desire Zenith Sovereign's figure had already disappeared into the night, leaving only a string of silvery laughter behind:

"Li Chen Zhou, the Heavenly Desire Palace will repay today's debt a hundredfold!"

As the smoke dissipated, Li Chen Zhou tore off the red ribbons wrapped around his wrist, his face gloomy.

Liu Xian coughed twice, clutching his chest, and screeched, "Chase them! They can't have gone far!"

Ten-Finger Yama raised his hand to stop him: "No need."
