With Xing Wenyao's death, Yuan Hao and Feng Ying, two powerful demon lords, immediately considered fleeing. They were being held back by Xuan Chengzi, Yun Xu, Cui Xuanjing, and Jing Yuanliang, who had joined forces. Meanwhile, the Heavenflame Condor and the Double-Winged Silver Tiger were locked in a fierce stalemate with Zi Yun and Lan Yin. For now, the Demon Race still held a slight advantage. However, if Song Wen were to join the battle on the Human Race's side, the demons would undoubtedly suffer a swift and devastating defeat. Yuan Hao lightly waved his trident, and the Xuan Yin Heavy Water before him instantly coalesced into a massive shield hundreds of zhang wide, protecting himself and Feng Ying. Feng Ying flapped its wings, unleashing two blades of Azure Nether Gale. Instead of targeting Xuan Chengzi, Yun Xu, Cui Xuanjing, and Jing Yuanliang, the gale blades slashed toward Zi Yun and Lan Yin, who were over a hundred kilometers away. This was a feigned attack, intended to force Xuan Chengzi to intervene and rescue his allies, creating an opening for the demons to escape. Xuan Chengzi had already seen through their plan. While activating his compass to conjure an Eight Trigrams Diagram to intercept the attack and shield Zi Yun and Lan Yin, he shouted loudly: "Yuan Hao, Feng Ying! If you flee now, won't you abandon the Demon Race on Fangzhudao Island and in the surrounding seas?" At that moment, Yuan Hao's Xuan Yin Heavy Water Shield perfectly blocked the combined attacks of Yun Xu, Cui Xuanjing, and Jing Yuanliang. Just as he was about to flee into the sky, he heard Xuan Chengzi's words, and a flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes. The Tide Demons were already an exceedingly rare species. After the Demon Race seized Fangzhudao, nearly all the Tide Demons from the Chaotic Sea had migrated to the waters surrounding the island. Now, with the Human Race's massive invasion underway, Yuan Hao had gathered all the Tide Demons together, and they were currently sheltering in a saltwater lake on the island.

By the time his lifespan reached its end, the Tide Demon race might face complete extinction. Feng Ying glanced disdainfully at Yuan Hao, who was not far away. Just as he was about to spread his wings and take flight, a short spear blazing with Blazing Sun Thunderlight tore through the sky and hurtled toward them. Feng Ying's eyes flashed with a fierce glint. In the blink of an eye, a deep azure Gale materialized from thin air, instantly transforming into a miniature cyclone that swept toward Yuan Hao. Yuan Hao was too close and completely unguarded against Feng Ying. Caught off guard, he was easily engulfed by the swirling winds. The whirlwind hurled Yuan Hao forward, sending him crashing into the short spear hurtling toward him. Furious and desperate, Yuan Hao had no choice but to brace himself behind his Xuan Yin Heavy Water Shield and collide with the weapon. Lightning crackled across the deep blue shield, shattering it violently. The spear's momentum was stopped, but the shield was destroyed. Seizing the opportunity, Xuan Chengzi, Yun Xu, Cui Xuanjing, and Jing Yuanliang swiftly surrounded Yuan Hao, cutting off all escape routes. Meanwhile, Feng Ying, a flying demon beast naturally skilled in escape techniques, had already fled over a hundred miles away. "Trying to escape? Not so fast," Song Wen murmured, his body erupting in a thick cloud of Blood Mist that engulfed him completely. Feng Ying suddenly detected a mass of Blood Mist ten miles ahead. From within the crimson haze emerged the figure of Ji Yin. Panic surged through Feng Ying as it abruptly veered left. "Thunder, come!" Song Wen roared, unleashing twin bolts of Blazing Sun Thunderlight from his hands. The silvery whips cracked toward Feng Ying's wings. Without turning back, Feng Ying flicked its wings, releasing two blasts of Azure Nether Gale that met the thunderous whips. In an instant, lightning crackled and a violent gale erupted. Feng Ying seized the immense force generated by the collision of the gale and thunderlight, spreading its wings wide. Like a streak of azure light, it slashed through the sky, rapidly widening the distance between itself and Song Wen. As it soared, each subtle tremor of its wings stirred the surrounding air, creating miniature tornadoes that surged toward Song Wen, slowing his pursuit. Suddenly, Feng Ying detected a bolt of lightning materializing ahead—the short spear. By the time Feng Ying could adjust its course, Song Wen had already guided the weapon in a sweeping arc, intercepting the hawk's path. Thunderlight crackled across the spear, far surpassing the hastily cast Thunder Magic Song Wen had managed earlier. Feng Ying had no choice but to confront it seriously. Channeling Azure Nether Qi, Feng Ying conjured a massive Azure Giant Blade and slashed it toward the spear. But the moment the blade streaked forward, a deafening thunderclap echoed from above. A bolt of violet lightning, like divine retribution, plummeted from the heavens. A complex emotion flickered in Feng Ying's eyes—this Thunder Magic was proving infuriatingly persistent. The purple thunderbolt struck with overwhelming force and lightning speed, leaving Feng Ying no chance to evade it. The Great Demon had no choice but to brace for the impact head-on. Feng Ying channeled the remaining Azure Nether Qi within its body, transforming it into a hemispherical shield that hovered above it. Drawing upon every ounce of its Demon Power, it barely managed to withstand the thunderous assault. As the storm subsided, a crimson light suddenly erupted several hundred feet away—Ji Yin had seized the opportunity to close the gap. A flicker of rage flashed in Feng Ying's eyes. Even a clay figurine retains a sliver of temper; how much more so a Great Demon at the Peak Nascent Soul stage? Chased relentlessly by Song Wen, Feng Ying had long harbored deep resentment. Moreover, it now realized that it could never shake its pursuer without severely injuring or killing him. Feng Ying's strength lay not only in its wind-based spells but also in its formidable physical body. The hawk's cry pierced the sky, startling the very clouds. Its razor-sharp beak darted forward, aimed squarely at Song Wen's throat. Unflinching, Song Wen met the charge. Gripping a short blade, he swung downward toward the dark, formidable beak. An ear-splitting screech filled the air. The hawk's beak—more indestructible than even a High-Grade Magic Treasure—shattered under Song Wen's blade. With the momentum, he drove the short blade toward Feng Ying's massive skull. A flicker of panic crossed Feng Ying's eyes, but as a Great Demon, it quickly regained its composure. With a powerful beat of its wings, Feng Ying surged upward, narrowly evading the short blade. Simultaneously, it extended its razor-sharp talons, which resembled iron hooks, and lunged fiercely at Song Wen. Song Wen's expression hardened. He knew he couldn't match Feng Ying's speed; evasion was impossible. His only option was to confront the creature head-on. Suddenly, two figures materialized before him: two Fourth-Tier Peak Corpse Puppets. They charged forward, meeting the talons head-on. The puppets' hands clashed against the eagle's talons with a deafening metallic clang. Both sides were equally indestructible, locked in a stalemate. Seizing the opportunity, the Corpse Puppets latched onto Feng Ying's talons, unleashing torrents of Corpse Qi that dragged the massive creature downward. Terror filled Feng Ying's eyes as it felt as if two mountains had been chained to its feet, anchoring it to the ground. Seeing his chance, Song Wen leaped into the air, the Soul Cleaving Blade raised high. He plunged the weapon toward Feng Ying's exposed jaw. The Soul Cleaving Blade effortlessly sliced through Feng Ying's metallic feathers, piercing deep into its flesh. A terrifying surge of Golden Sharp Qi erupted from the blade, instantly shredding Feng Ying's skull from within. Feng Ying's life force flickered and died. 📖Read (RDC) on Pa.treon@CinderTL - c1106.
