“This is a truly desperate situation…”
Above the sky, Li Muyang held the unconscious Yu Chan, his face looking somewhat ugly.
In front of him, wrapped in bloodthirsty energy, the Ancestor of Demon Refinement transformed into a monster flew towards him with a rising killing intent.
Behind him, the Corpse Immortal wielding a Divine Sword, had just repelled Mo Immortal’s sword light with a single strike.
Caught between these two monstrous beings, Li Muyang clearly had no way out at this moment.
Not even a way to survive.
“…Would it be safer if I hadn’t brought Yu Chan out?”
Li Muyang held the girl in his arms, muttering to himself.
Holding the Yin Life Book above his head, he took a deep breath.
He had a rough idea of what danger Yu Chan had encountered.
Yu Chan must have left the Netherworld Saint Spirit and accidentally stumbled upon the Demonized Ancestor of Demon Refinement and the Extreme Night God shrouded in fog, chased by these two monstrous entities.
Even though both Extreme Night God and Ancestor of Demon Refinement had transformed into monsters, their hatred for the remnants of the Netherworld had not waned.
Facing Yu Chan, a remnant of the Netherworld, these two enemies surprisingly set aside their conflict and stood on the same front.
This really was a bit of dark humor.
Li Muyang sighed, “Corpse Immortal, if you don’t show up, Yu Chan is really done for.”
Given Yu Chan’s strength, she obviously couldn’t escape and endure for long under the siege of these two monsters; not being instantly killed was a victory.
The reason why Yu Chan could flee into the Qiankun Pot was probably because her mysterious teacher, the Corpse Immortal, had made a move.
As Li Muyang’s voice fell, the unconscious girl in his arms suddenly opened her eyes.
The next second, Yu Chan broke free from Li Muyang’s embrace and floated to the side.
“…I didn’t expect you to be Fairy Qinghe’s brother; I was mistaken.”
“Yu Chan” stood on air next to Li Muyang, glanced at him, and spoke.
Li Muyang cracked a smile and said, “The focus now is to escape… You hold off Ancestor of Demon Refinement, I’ll hold off Extreme Night God. As long as we get deep into the fog, we’ll be safe.”
Li Muyang’s ability to discern direction in the fog was something ordinary people didn’t possess.
But “Yu Chan” shook her head and said, “Difficult… very difficult.”
“Since you’re carrying the Netherworld Holy Artifact, the Yin Life Book, why not use its power?” The Corpse Immortal’s gaze fixed on the Yin Life Book.
Li Muyang shook his head and said, “This was borrowed; I’m not a true creature of the Netherworld, how could I possibly use it?”
“You think this is a cabbage on the roadside, anyone who finds it can take it home and cook it?”
“It can only guide us!”
During the exchange with Corpse Immortal, Li Muyang activated the Destruction Wheel, attacking Ancestor of Demon Refinement in front of him.
Mo Immortal blocked Extreme Night God while Li Muyang exerted all his strength, joining forces with Corpse Immortal to counter the frenzied Ancestor of Demon Refinement.
The two fought and retreated towards the fog.
For the moment, the attack of Extreme Night God was not fierce; this creature from Outer Heaven attacked Li Muyang while also wary of the Demonized Ancestor of Demon Refinement not far away.
Only the crazed Ancestor of Demon Refinement roared and charged relentlessly, attacking Li Muyang with full force.
The pressure brought by Ancestor of Demon Refinement at this moment far exceeded that of Extreme Night God.
Soon, Li Muyang and “Yu Chan” retreated into the midst of the fog.
The surging fog spread and came forth, confusing their direction and instantly losing their sense of the world.
However, in the surge of the fog, the calm Extreme Night God and the frenzied Ancestor of Demon Refinement relentlessly pursued.
In the fog, they kept chasing, and Li Muyang and his companion could never shake off these two monstrous entities.
Continuing in this trend, Li Muyang would probably reach the land but still not shake off the two monsters.
——Of course, it’s more likely that he would die before even reaching the land.
Li Muyang’s mana endurance did not support such high-intensity combat over a long duration.
Seeing that two-thirds of his mid-grade Spirit Pills in the Qiankun Ring were consumed, he still could not shake off the Extreme Night God and the Ancestor of Demon Refinement.
Li Muyang had to play his last card.
“Corpse Immortal! Get out of the way!”
Li Muyang violently roared, warning “Yu Chan” who was fiercely battling the Ancestor of Demon Refinement.
The next second, “Yu Chan” got the message and quickly retreated hundreds of zhang, creating a distance from the Ancestor of Demon Refinement.
At the same time, Li Muyang took out the Red Evil Bell.
The moment the inherited Magical Treasure of the Evil Vein Clan activated, its crisp ringing spread through the fog, bringing with it a gloomy and malevolent aura descending from the sky.
In the mist, the Extreme Night God and the Ancestor of Demon Refinement, who were tailing each other, both looked up to see a crack opening in the heavens above.
Following that, a pale female hand shot out from the crack in the heavens, reaching straight for the frenzied Ancestor of Demon Refinement.
A chill wind swept through the mist massively, briefly clearing the fog in the area.
Seeing this scene, the Extreme Night God immediately drew back and retreated hundreds of zhang in the blink of an eye, leaving the center of the battlefield.
Only the crazed Ancestor of Demon Refinement roared, instead of retreating from the descending female hand, he madly surged upwards to meet it.
“Ancient Evil Gods!”
The Ancestor of Demon Refinement’s furious roar echoed as the giant blood pupil in the void behind him flashed with blinding blood light.
The next second, the Ancestor of Demon Refinement’s frenzied figure collided with the female hand descending from the heavens.
An earth-shattering explosion followed, with the violent shockwave dispersing all the fog within a ten-mile radius.
The first to bear the brunt, Li Muyang, was blown away, with blood spurting from his orifices.
“…Damn it!”
It was the first time he summoned the Evil God and was thwarted!
The strike of the Evil God was actually withstood by the Ancestor of Demon Refinement!
Moreover, this strike not only drained all the mana inside Li Muyang’s body, it even began drawing out his blood essence.
Li Muyang was blown away, nearly losing consciousness.
“Go!” Corpse Immortal swooped in, dragging the semi-comatose Li Muyang and flying away into the distance.
Although Li Muyang’s strike did not kill his enemy, it at least repelled the frenzied Ancestor of Demon Refinement, and forced back the Extreme Night God.
Soon, Li Muyang disappeared into the depths of the mist, completely unable to sense the presence of those two monsters anymore.
But the price paid was the near-destruction of his newly revived body, with only a sliver of his health bar remaining, looking extremely wretched.
“The Red Evil Bell of the Evil Vein Clan is indeed terrifying.”
The Corpse Immortal’s Tunneling Light flew through the mist, heading towards the land as directed by the luminous guidance of the Yin Life Book.
She glanced at Li Muyang by her side and said, “I didn’t expect you to get your hands on the Red Evil Bell… Weren’t you born male? Did you become a female after resurrection and rebirth?”
The tradition of the Evil Vein Clan, which is to pass on to females and not males, is no secret anymore.
Before Li Muyang could respond to Corpse Immortal’s words, Yu Chan suddenly spoke up.
“…Teacher, please don’t tease brother. He’s already very tired.”
At this moment, Li Muyang’s body was almost devoid of blood essence, and his mana was completely drained, being carried along by Corpse Immortal’s Tunneling Light as if he were a rag doll, in a very pitiful state.
Upon hearing Yu Chan’s voice, Corpse Immortal sneered and said, “Silly girl, you’ve begun to pity your brother already?”
“Since you’re awake, you should make your own way from here. I’m tired too and going to take a rest now.”
