Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 142 The Assault on Heaven
When Yunren made his move, Pingshang's attack killed two of the six disciples, Demon Consciousness and Lingguan, and also left Yaowen and Xiehui without a trace. The terrifying power made Guizhi and Mingjian realize that they had been tricked and decided to retreat. However, their painstaking plan could not be allowed to escape. Lian Emei struck again with a palm, and Guizhi and Mingjian were in critical condition. Countless demon soldiers were also reduced to ashes.

Immediately, Lian Emei turned her gaze to the three gatekeepers who had rushed into the Realm of Nothingness.

"Daoping left her trace!"

The Heart-Falling Technique, which once severely damaged the Otherworld, has reappeared, possessing terrifying power far surpassing that of its inheritor. The power of this single move simultaneously envelops the three gates of Shenwu, Tianhuang, and Shesheng. The three gatekeepers felt unprecedented pressure and were forced to abandon their opponents and focus all their efforts on countering the attack.

"The Way of No Way!" Bie Jiankuanghua shouted, and the Divine Lotus in his hand suddenly bloomed, unleashing a barrage of attacks.

Within the Heavenly Desolate Path, Yuan Huo Tianhuang brandished his sword and offered up "Blood Weeping Heavenly Desolate," causing ripples to spread through the space wherever the sword light passed.

With a wave of his wolf-smoke halberd, the Hurricane Wolf Slash swept out with a bloody wind.

The three ultimate moves rose from the three passages respectively, solely to deal with the impending killing blow. Yunren's aura tightened, and he unleashed a move with overwhelming force. At the same time, the three gatekeepers met the attack with their ultimate moves. With a deafening roar, all three gates were breached simultaneously, and the three gatekeepers were forced to reveal themselves. Under the residual power of Yunren's ultimate move, each of them was covered in blood and wounds.

Meanwhile, Mu Shaoai, Tan Wuyu, and Jianzi Xianji also managed to escape from the three passages the moment Lian Emei broke through her barrier. Looking at the battle situation before them, they felt at peace.

"This is troublesome!" Tunfo Tongzi frowned, severely injuring Tianxian Daozang with a single sword strike, but his gaze was fixed on the battle not far away. If Lian Emei's appearance was an unexpected turn of events for the Otherworldly Demon Realm, then her formidable strength and unyielding style made her an even more formidable opponent than the Demon Realm had anticipated.

Today's defeat, while the loss of ordinary demon generals and soldiers is still acceptable, would be a devastating blow to the Otherworld if all three guardians were to perish here. Fortunately…

The three extraordinary phenomena caused a change in heaven and earth, and even the Realm of Nothingness sensed them. The righteous people did not pay attention to them, but as a person from the Demon Realm, Tunfo Tongzi was all too aware of this feeling.

With the fault line connecting and the demonic dragon reborn, the three races of the Otherworldly Demon Realm—ghost, demon, and evil—will unite. Jiu Huo, realizing the situation is not right, will surely send reinforcements to aid the battle in the Realm of Nothingness. The most urgent task is to buy time until the reinforcements arrive.

Thinking of this, Tunfo Tongzi quickly pressed forward with his sword, intending to capture Tianxian Daocang as a hostage to deter the righteous faction from making any rash moves. However, just as Zhu Yan was about to reach the heavily injured Tianxian Daocang, an even faster flash of cold light, accompanied by a gust of wind, appeared, and a white-robed figure with wings cut through the barrier with a single strike!

"So fast."

The swordsman remained silent, his swift blade flashing even more. Faced with the sudden attack from a master, the Devouring Buddha Child was unable to extricate himself, and his plan to take hostages failed.

On the other side, Guizhi and Mingjian were critically injured and on the verge of death. Looking at the remains of demon soldiers scattered all over the ground, their hearts were filled with bitterness.

"We misjudged the enemy's situation, leading to a crushing defeat for our army. Now, only death can atone for our sins to the people of the Demon Realm." Guizhi laughed bitterly, pressing his palms against Mingjian's, his demonic energy surging wildly around him.

"Today, only death will give us a chance to retreat."

I saw
The two remaining Demon Realm leaders roared in unison, preparing to unleash their demonic energy and perish together with the others from the Realm of Nothingness. Seeing this, Lian Emei's eyes sharpened. With a flick of her jade palm, a golden light shot out like a chain, aiming straight for the two demons' faces. But at that moment, a crimson demonic aura suddenly descended from the sky, as red as blood and as vibrant as sunset, abruptly interrupting Gui Zhi and Ming Jian's self-destruction. Simultaneously, the demonic aura transformed into a human figure, standing steadily before the two demons.

"It's you..." Guizhi and Mingjian looked up, their eyes filled with shock.
The moment Tunfo Tongzi recognized the newcomer, a slight sense of relief washed over him. Indeed, the fault line had closed, and you were finally free…

Lian Emei's gaze turned cold as she carefully examined Xi Mie Tianlai before her: "An extraordinary demon, yet he also possesses Buddhist holy energy, hmm?"

Sensing the newcomer's formidable strength, Lian Emei dared not be careless and faced him with full force. Xi Mietian, on the other hand, immediately ignored Lian Emei, his gaze sweeping over the ravaged battlefield before him, muttering to himself, "This battle was a crushing defeat. Will you learn from this?"

Then Xi Mie Tianlai turned his gaze to Lian Emei, "Ping Shan Yunren, I have long admired your name. Let this battle end here."

"We must eradicate evil completely, why should we stop here?" Before Lian Emei could finish speaking, her Daoist energy transformed into a raging torrent, sweeping straight towards Tianmi's face.

"To the utmost?" Xi Mie Tianlai sneered. "If you can truly fight for a long time, why bother ascending to the heavens?"

With one palm strike, another was met. After receiving Lian Emei's full-force palm strike, Xi Mie Tianlai's expression remained unchanged, and his figure did not budge in the slightest. Seeing that the Otherworld Demon Realm had actually received more powerful reinforcements, the righteous people's expressions were equally grim.

"Let this battle end here, Seven Evils Tuli Alan Holy Seal!"

The demon unleashed his demonic power, its might and momentum overwhelming and destructive, aimed directly at Lian Emei. Lian Emei, channeling all her pure Daoist energy, countered with her Heavenly Leap and the Seven Evils' Tuli technique. The two attacks collided, and the heavens and earth held their breath. Daoist energy and demonic energy clashed in the void, forming a massive vortex that shattered the surrounding rocks, turning them into dust that filled the air. Lian Emei was forced back half a step, while Xi Mie Tianlai coughed up blood.

However, although Xi Mie Tianlai was injured, his momentum had not diminished. Instead, he used the force of the attack to sweep away the surrounding area with the remaining power of his ultimate move. Seeing this, the demons from the otherworldly realm made a feint and took advantage of the gap in the sweeping power to escape together.

"We still have a chance to fight again. Goodbye."

After the demon army retreated, Xi Mie Tianlai glanced at the righteous people on the battlefield, chuckled coldly, and then left as well.

……

On the four-sided platform, the Yama Hanba, who was fiercely fighting Beichen Yuanhuang, held the Yama Desolate God Slash and ruthlessly harvested the soul consciousness within the spirit banner. As the spirit banner was constantly consumed, the pressure on Beichen Yuanhuang also increased. Just then, a wisp of demonic energy suddenly broke through the air and entered the Yama Hanba's ear.

The Demon Lord's pupils constricted slightly as he coldly glanced at Bei Chen Yuan Huang. His sword thrusts quickened, forcefully pushing back the spirit banner. He then sheathed his sword and stood still: "Bei Chen Yuan Huang, I'll spare your life today. Next time, your head won't be so lucky!"

Having said that, he transformed into a gust of black wind and vanished without a trace.

This time, seeing the Yama Drought Demon leave, Bei Chen Yuan Huang could no longer spare the energy to chase after it. She vomited blood and barely managed to stand.

"That demonic energy just now... it seems the battle in the Realm of Nothingness has come to an end... Hmm, I hope the righteous path's victory was worth the sacrifice made by Bei Chen Yuan Huang."
