Fairy Ningyu's expression also tightened as she looked ahead...
Then.
Clack! Clack! A series of peculiar footsteps came from the far end of the corridor...
Ye Han and Fairy Ningyu exchanged a glance. As though their hearts were linked, their spell power surged, turning into a hazy mist as they concealed themselves within the passage. Without a sound, they rose to its upper corners, one on either side...

At the bend at the end of the passage, a creature several dozen feet tall emerged. Its lower body resembled a water buffalo's, with red bristles covering all four legs. It wore armor made from a snow-white material and inlaid with gold trim.

The strange monster's head resembled a dragon's, with a ring of blood-red runes around each eye. A savage aura radiated from its body, and it bore some resemblance to the Heavenly Dragon Demon Saint.
At the sight of this strange armored member of the Demon Race, something stirred in Ye Han's mind. Among the murals in the passage through which they had entered the Ascension Immortal Palace, there had been a scene like this: a group from the Heavenly Dragon Demon Race wielding bows and continually raining arrows upon an enormous monster...
By all rights, the Heavenly Dragon Demon Race within the Ascension Immortal Palace should have been dead.
Why were there still archers from the Heavenly Dragon Demon Race here?
Moreover, after the first Heavenly Dragon Archer emerged, several more archers followed...

The twelve Heavenly Dragon Archers marched in unison, drawing closer and closer to Ye Han
