Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

Qi Xuan shouted, and the five of them quickly changed positions, instantly surrounding Hou Er in the center again.

He Xiaoluo roamed around the outermost perimeter, firing arrows in rapid succession, preventing Hou Er from concentrating on fighting the enemy.

Feng Lin and the Luo brothers worked together to pull and restrain Hou Er from the front, which also diverted most of Hou Er's attention.

Qi Xuan wielded the Flying Dragon Spear in his hand like a real dragon, attacking Hou Er's vital points with every thrust.

Although Monkey Two was at the seventh level of the True Spirit Realm, he was temporarily suppressed when faced with the combined attack of the five people.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the situation before him, Monkey Two's temper, which had just calmed down, flared up again. He suddenly changed his stance with the iron rod in his hand.

"Ape Demon Dance!"

The shadows of the staff poured down like a torrential rain, each strike carrying its full power.

The pressure on the four increased dramatically, but they still managed to maintain their formation and keep Monkey Two trapped in the center.

-----------------

"We're under the least pressure here, so we must finish this quickly!"

Wei Xiao had observed all the battlefields and found that their side was under the least pressure. They needed to end the battle as soon as possible to support the other battlefields.

Otherwise, if they drag this out, there will be too many variables in this Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, and time is not on their side.

Wei Xiao roared and charged at the eagle guard on the left with Zheng Xuan. These three eagle guards were about five or six meters tall and, like Ying Xiang, relied on their sharp talons to fight.

Wei Xiao wielded his broadsword with wide, sweeping strokes, forcing the Eagle Guards to parry each strike once they were close in.

Zheng Xuan did not use the twin swords she had used before, but instead used the long whip that she had shown Li Youan earlier.

In Zheng Xuan's hands, the long whip moved like a serpent, sometimes coiling around and sometimes lashing out, its angles tricky and ruthless. Combined with Wei Xiao's broadsword, it kept the Eagle Guards busy.

"This eagle demon is nothing special."

Seeing the Eagle Guards being forced to retreat repeatedly by the two of his own men, Wei Xiao burst into laughter.

"Don't be careless," Zheng Xuan reminded Wei Xiao.

"I'll create an opening for it, and before it flies into the air, I'll quickly capture it," Wei Xiao transmitted to Zheng Xuan.

Not far from the two, Kang Ping wielded his twin short swords like butterflies flitting among flowers, each move unpredictable and elusive. Already agile, his movements, aided by the short swords, were even more relentless, relentlessly attacking the Eagle Guard's vital points.

Fu Ming's swordplay was much more moderate and balanced; although he was an alchemist, his swordsmanship was also incredibly refined. He helped Kang Ping seal off the eagle demon's escape routes.

With their combined efforts, the two managed to suppress the other Eagle Guard.

Zhao Jing stood behind the four, focused intently. With a wave of her hands, three silver shuttles flew like shooting stars, darting and weaving across the battlefield.

Whenever the Eagle Guards above attempted a sneak attack, the shuttle would always appear in time to either block or interfere, preventing the Eagle Guards from launching an effective attack.

The eagle guard flew in mid-air, wanting to intervene in the battlefield but unsure how.

Having witnessed the combat prowess of the others, it did not want to land rashly and lose its aerial advantage.

Whenever the eagle guards on the ground tried to break through and fly back into the air, the shuttle, under Zhao Jing's control, would always create an opportunity for the group to intercept them, preventing the two eagle guards from returning to the air.

"Kill the human behind us who's using the flying shuttle first."

After several unsuccessful attempts to break through, one of the eagle guards let out a shriek, signaling its companions above to temporarily abandon this area and instead launch a surprise attack on Zhao Jing.

"Don't even think about it!"

Wei Xiao and Fu Ming simultaneously dodged and intercepted.

These three eagle guards, all at the first level of the True Spirit Realm, were tightly entangled by Wei Xiao and his group. Although they had a slight advantage in cultivation, they were unable to gain the upper hand. Instead, their tacit cooperation with the four of them frequently revealed weaknesses.

The battle became intense, but Wei Xiao and his group gradually gained the upper hand thanks to their excellent teamwork.

-----------------

The fifteen eagle demons circling in the air, seeing that their leaders had all entered battle mode, immediately let out a series of piercing shrieks.

The eagle demons simultaneously locked onto Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong below. In their eyes, these two humans, the weakest in cultivation, were the easiest targets and were already their prey.

"Hiss, whoosh—"

Li Youan took a deep breath and looked at the eagle demon in the sky.

Are you scared?

Dongfang Jinghong did not respond to him verbally, but instead, a pair of wings unfurled from the back of the Blazing Armor, and she slowly rose into the air.

"I've had some insights into marksmanship these past few days, so I'll use these to test my new marksmanship."

At the same time, Li Youan silently recited in his heart.

"Technique Card, Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Upgraded".

The "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear" on the panel had reached the initial stage of the Xuan rank, and its power was incomparable to what it had been before.

"Gah—!"

As soon as Li Youan finished speaking, the three most impatient eagle demons, whose strength was at the fifth or sixth level of the Kaiyuan Realm, swooped down first, their sharp claws aimed straight for Li Youan's crown.

The eagle demon was not only extremely fast, but it also brought with it a foul, fishy stench.

"Good timing!"

Seeing the eagle demon swooping down, Li Youan's eyes were calm but with a hint of excitement. Instead of retreating, he advanced and leaned forward slightly.

The spear in his hand, which was originally pointing downwards, was suddenly raised, and he met the attack with a move called "Hundred Birds Circling the Sky," so fast that it even left afterimages in the air.

Hundreds of birds of various shapes and sizes flew around Li Youan, surrounding him completely.

"Hmph, you're asking for it."

The eagle demon at the forefront flashed disdain in its eyes, and increased the force of its claws, which were gleaming with cold light, by three times, preparing to tear Li Youan and his gun to shreds.

However, just as its claws were about to collide with the spear tip, Li Youan gave an extremely subtle twist of his wrist, and the spear trembled like a serpent. The spear tip avoided the frontal claw strike, grazed the inside of the eagle demon's forearm, and pierced straight into the empty space at the base of its wing.

"Pfft!"

The spearhead pierced the flesh, and the accompanying vital energy exploded outwards.

"Gah—!"

The eagle demon let out a miserable cry, its right wing drooped down, its swooping momentum slowed, and the entire eagle crashed heavily to the ground, its head embedded in the soil, its body struggling violently.

But Li Youan didn't even look at it. He swung his spear horizontally, the end of the spear like an axle and the shaft like a whip, and swept it sharply behind him.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the spearhead struck the second eagle demon's talon precisely, which had attacked him from behind. The eagle demon, in pain, shifted its grip and flew past him.

However, just as the two were about to engage, Li Youan kicked him away.

However, as a result, Li Youan was unable to make any other moves in the air, and the attack of the third eagle demon was already upon him.

The eagle demon looked at Li Youan, who remained calm, with some surprise. "Is he scared out of his wits?"

Just then, a crimson figure flashed past like lightning.

Dongfang Jinghong wore the Crimson Fire Armor and had fiery wings spread out on his back. Although he could not fly for long periods of time and at high speed like a True Spirit Realm cultivator, he had no problem using it in battle.

If Li Youan hadn't witnessed the power of the Eastern Astounding Crimson Fire Armor during his previous battle against the Frost and Snow Crane, he wouldn't have dared to rush into the air to confront these three eagle demons.

Her longsword traced an arc, its blade trembling slightly, and in an instant, several illusory sword shadows split apart, all piercing towards the eagle demon.

"Illusion Sword Technique: Three-Part Sword Shadow!"

The eagle demon felt a blur before its eyes, unable to distinguish which sword was real and which was fake. In its panic, it could only dodge repeatedly.

"laugh!"

"laugh!"

A real longsword cleaved down from above, cutting a long gash across the eagle demon's chest, spurting blood everywhere.

Li Youan had already adjusted his stance and pierced the man's abdomen from behind with a single shot.

The eagle demon spun and rolled rapidly, leaving Li Youan and the other person behind.

In the blink of an eye, before the eagle demon behind could react...

Two of the three attacking eagle demons were already injured and one was crippled.
