Mortal: Fellow Daoist! May I borrow your essence for a moment?

"What?!"

Ye Chengren's face flushed red as he looked at the demonic energy surging on his palm.

Even with his cultivation level of twelve, he couldn't dissolve it using his spiritual power.

"Hahahaha." Li Feiyu laughed uncontrollably.

"Benevolent Protector, thanks to your four brothers, my cultivation has now broken through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, just like yours."

"Hmph! We're both on the twelfth floor, do you want to test my strength?"

Ye Chengren sneered, his black gold shield flashing brightly, and a sharp mother blade above his head poised to strike.

Even though they were both at the twelfth level of Qi Refining,

But with two top-grade magical artifacts by his side, what did he have to fear from Li Feiyu!

Today he will surely capture this scoundrel and tear him to pieces.

"The Benevolent Protector is highly skilled and possesses two superior magical artifacts."

"I have fought a fierce battle all night, and in a prolonged battle, I am indeed no match for you."

Li Feiyu spoke solemnly, his eyes becoming serious.

Although he absorbed the spiritual power of the four guardians of the Ye family and broke through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, just like Ye Chengren.

Furthermore, he possesses the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, making him invincible among those of the same level.

However, after a night of fierce fighting, he was already severely exhausted.

Not only was his own spiritual power almost depleted, but the cultivation he had seized from Ye Chengde and Ye Chengxin had also been significantly reduced.

After all, the three of them had been fighting all night and were almost at their limit.

"Haha, you scoundrel, do you know your death is near?"

Ye Chengren gritted his teeth and spoke coldly.

He knew that even if Li Feiyu had seized Ye Chengde's spiritual power, he was already at his last gasp.

Not only had he broken through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining long ago and was in excellent condition, but he also possessed two magical artifacts.

Theoretically speaking, capturing and killing Li Feiyu should be a piece of cake!

"If we were to fight, I would indeed be no match for Protector Ren, but as for who will die today, it's uncertain."

Li Feiyu gave Han Li a wink, and Paopao immediately understood and fled.

"Ren Protector, my spiritual power is running low. Let's settle this with a single move."

He spoke slowly, and the demonic power within his body began to circulate.

It actually rose into the air and stood tall in front of Ye Chengren.

The first rays of sunlight shone on Li Feiyu.

It made him ethereal and otherworldly, like a god.

At his feet, Ye Chengde stared in disbelief, momentarily frozen in place.

"Soaring through the air! A Core Formation cultivator!"

"No! You could never be a Core Formation cultivator!" he glared angrily, speaking incredulously.

Qi Refining cultivators cannot fly, while Foundation Establishment experts, although able to fly, still need to rely on magical artifacts.

Flying through the air is a supernatural ability possessed only by True Monarchs at the Core Formation stage.

Even their ancestor, who was renowned throughout the Ye family, could not achieve this.

But Li Feiyu stood right in front of him so naturally.

At that moment, a mix of emotions, including shock, confusion, and even fear, welled up in Ye Chengren's heart.

He felt as if the whole world had become magical.

Even so, Ye Chengren reacted in just a moment.

If Li Feiyu were truly a Core Formation True Monarch, how could he possibly be involved in such a messy relationship with me?

A top-tier expert at the Core Formation stage could cause the entire Ye family to collapse with just a single finger.

Why waste time talking to yourself?

"Renhufa is indeed a remarkable person; he was able to remain calm even in the face of my supernatural powers."

"Unfortunately, today is your death day!"

Li Feiyu stood on the void, looking down at Ye Chengren and nodding slightly.

In fact, the head of the Ye family's protectors is quite good in terms of character.

They are no worse than those great supernatural beings who have reached the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stages.

In other worlds, he might have achieved something great.

Unfortunately, in the mortal world, talent is the most important factor.

Even Mo Juren and his daughter Mo Caihuan, lacking the necessary talent, could only waste their lives in the mortal world.

Not to mention Ye Chengren.

Boundless demonic energy surged forth, and the demonic shadow that had appeared before became even more imposing.

Standing tens of feet tall, it descended before Ye Chengren like a celestial demon.

"What kind of demonic power is this?!"

Ye Chengren sensed something was wrong, and the black gold shield in front of him emitted a dazzling light.

With a flash of the mother blade, the entire set of Golden Cicada Mother Blades was poised to strike.

Li Feiyu's expression was tense, his face flushed, and he channeled all the spiritual power in his body into the demonic shadow.

It slowly extends one finger.

"The Heaven-Devouring Hand, a single finger can swallow heaven and earth!"

Before the words were finished, a demonic shadow descended upon the world, and a finger fell.

A vast amount of demonic energy swept over everything around it.

The birds have all flown away, and the beasts are startled.

Amidst the demonic energy, Ye Chengren roared and raised his black gold shield to fight back desperately.

However, when the finger that the demonic shadow pointed out actually arrived.

Thick demonic energy spread along the previous cracks to the entire black gold shield.

With a bang, this powerful high-grade magic artifact shattered into pieces like a mirror.

Under the magic finger,

Ye Chengren collapsed, his face filled with resentment and bitterness.

"call--"

"Is it over?"

Li Feiyu breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease.

Cold sweat poured from his forehead, and an unprecedented fatigue swept over his entire body.

Although his finger strike seemed incredibly domineering, possessing an aura that shook the ages and an unparalleled power over the universe.

However, it consumed all of Li Feiyu's spiritual power.

If it weren't for Ye Chengren's immense strength and the protection of two magical artifacts...

Li Feiyu would never use such a fighting style.

It was precisely because of the power of this leader of the Ye family's protectors.

That's why he first ordered Han Li to retreat, and then went all out to achieve his goal in one fell swoop.

He used all his remaining spiritual power to unleash this finger strike.

He knew that if he chose to fight Ye Chengren, he would inevitably be the one to lose.

Only by putting ourselves in a life-or-death situation can we defeat the head of the Ye family's protectors with swift and decisive action.

Now that the Black Gold Shield is shattered, it seems that everything has been a great success as Li Feiyu had envisioned.

However, he couldn't help but frown after the demonic energy dissipated.

Although the black gold shield was shattered, Ye Chengren was covered in blood.

Despite being struck by a single finger, the head of the Ye family's protectors stubbornly survived.

"Another defensive magic artifact. Protector Ren, you certainly have quite a few treasures."

Li Feiyu's lips twitched slightly.

Ye Chengren was covered in fragments, clearly indicating that this was another broken magical artifact.

"Cough cough cough."

"You dog! I am the head of the Ye family's protectors. I don't know how many people I've killed or how many families I've wiped out."

"How could a scoundrel like you possibly comprehend my true potential?"

He coughed up large amounts of blood, and not just in this one spot.

Ye Chengren was bleeding from his eyes, nostrils, and other seven orifices.

A deep sense of resentment and bitterness welled up on the already blurred face of the head of the Ye family's protectors.

He strained to reach for the Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade beside him, wanting to fight again, but in the end he could only kneel down helplessly.

He benefited from the protection of the two magical artifacts.

Li Feiyu's finger strike failed to kill him.

But what kind of powerful killing technique is the Devouring Heaven and Earth Hand?

Even a single finger was enough to cause Ye Chengren's demonic energy to enter his body, beyond the help of even a god!

"Further words are useless, Protector Ren, let's go." Li Feiyu descended to the ground and spoke slowly.

"No--!"

Ye Chengren, however, let out a ferocious laugh:

"Even if the magic weapon is shattered, blood flows from the seven orifices, and the internal organs and meridians are all crushed by your demonic energy."

"But I, Ye Chengren, can still guide you on your journey!"
