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

"Those three eagle demons are too cunning. They want to wear down their subordinates' lives, deplete our energy and stamina, so that they can kill us in one blow."

Hearing Dongfang Jinghong's words, Li Youan nodded.

This intense battle, though not very long, consumed a great deal of energy.

At this moment, Li Youan's breathing had become somewhat heavy, and the light from the pair of wings behind Dongfang Jinghong had also dimmed slightly.

Occasionally waving his gun to deflect incoming feathers, Li Youan's eyes quickly scanned the surrounding terrain.

At this moment, the battlefield had moved to a relatively open clearing in the woods, surrounded by dense trees and overgrown with weeds.

But the eagle demons didn't give the two any time to think.

A cunning glint flashed in the Black Feather Eagle Demon's eyes. Of the two, it had already discovered that although Dongfang Jinghong's magical treasures were incredibly powerful, they also consumed a great deal of vital energy.

Moreover, her cultivation level was already low, and she had already exhausted most of her vital energy. In addition, the continuous battle had left her somewhat weak.

Its eyes were fixed on Dongfang Jinghong, and it let out a sharp cry.

"Attack with all your might and kill that damned woman. She's done for."

Thus, the three eagle demons at the eighth or ninth level of the Kaiyuan Realm that were originally roaming high in the sky, along with the remaining two eagle demons at the sixth level, a total of five of their strongest combat forces, launched a rapid attack on Dongfang Jinghong from all sides.

These powerful eagle demons had excellent speed, strength, angle, and timing, far surpassing the eagle demons that had been killed before.

Among them, the black-feathered squad leader was the most ferocious in its attack. Its pair of eagle claws, which gleamed with black light, were clearly using some kind of demonic technique, making them extremely terrifying.

The other four eagle demons completely blocked all possible escape routes for Dongfang Jinghong.

"A stunning sight!"

Upon seeing this, Li Youan's expression changed. He wanted to rush to the rescue, but he was desperately entangled by the remaining eagle demons and was unable to break free for a while.

Faced with this perilous predicament, Dongfang Jinghong's pretty face remained slightly cold, but her beautiful eyes showed no fear.

She bit her tongue hard, and a spurt of blood shot onto the longsword in her hand. The sword immediately emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, and its light instantly intensified, shooting out in all directions.

"Illusion Sword Technique: Thousand-Petal Lotus!"

With a shout from Dongfang Jinghong, she rapidly channeled the remaining energy in her body into the longsword.

Centered on Dongfang Jinghong, countless beautiful lotus flowers of sword energy instantly appeared around him.

The moment the image freezes, these sword-qi lotus flowers bloom, and as they bloom, countless lotus petals composed of sharp sword energy spiral outwards in layers!

These lotus petals were not mere illusions, but rather a sword energy splitting technique imbued with surging killing intent, the price of which was the instant depletion of her vital energy.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

The two eagle demons charging at the forefront were caught off guard and pierced through by countless sword energies, turning into two sieves.

Bang!Bang!

A foul-smelling mist of blood filled the air. Moments later, the two corpses plummeted straight down from the sky, creating two bloody craters in the open ground below.

The other two eagle demons, both at the eighth level of the Kaiyuan Realm, were also forced to dodge in a sorry state by the sudden, wide-ranging sword energy. Although they managed to avoid vital parts by flapping their wings wildly, they were still pierced by the sword energy, leaving several holes in their bodies.

Only the black-feathered squad leader let out a sharp cry, its claws gleaming even brighter, and actually managed to withstand the attack of the sword-qi lotus petals with its claws alone.

Although Hei Yu had several more wounds on his body, his speed increased instead of decreasing. One of his sharp claws, surrounded by black mist, had already broken through and was less than three feet away from Dongfang Jinghong's chest.

At this moment, Dongfang Jinghong's spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and the wings on his back were dim and uncertain, making it impossible for him to dodge.

A hair's breadth away!

Dongfang Jinghong's eyes already reflected the eagle-like face of Black Feather Squad Leader, which was grinning maliciously.

At this moment, a sudden change occurs!

Dozens of emerald green vines had sprouted from the weeds beneath Dongfang Jinghong and were swaying slightly.

Immediately afterwards, "whoosh whoosh whoosh—" these dozens of exceptionally tough green vines covered with red spikes shot straight up and wrapped around the black feather at an astonishing speed.

In an instant, his claws and wings were completely bound, fixing him in mid-air like a rice dumpling.

Although these vines could only bind Hei Yu for a brief moment with his ninth-level Kaiyuan Realm cultivation, in that instant, he could be killed dozens of times over in a life-or-death battle.

"Vine Binding Formation!"

Li Youan had begun selecting the best location to set up this formation at the very beginning of the battle, and this was the reason why the battlefield was moved to this open space.

Although it is unknown when the attack will be launched, Li Youan will never fight an unprepared battle.

Li Youan was stopped just now, also to confuse this group of eagle demons.

Having already discussed it with Li Youan, Dongfang Jinghong would never miss this opportunity that was almost worth risking her life for.

He swallowed the Rejuvenation Pill that he had been hiding in his mouth for a long time, and Dongfang Jinghong's depleted vital energy was instantly restored by more than half.

She mobilized the energy she had just recovered, abandoning all fancy sword techniques, and concentrated all her energy and spirit into a straight sword light, aiming directly at Hei Yu's throat, which was exposed due to being pulled by vines.

Originally, Hei Yu was terrified when he saw Dongfang Jinghong's energy depleted and charged forward. He struggled desperately, unleashing all his demonic energy and breaking almost all the vines, but he was still a fraction too slow.

"laugh--!"

The long sword in Dongfang Jinghong's hand pierced through Hei Yu's throat, and the ferocity on Hei Yu's face froze instantly, his golden eagle eyes filled with disbelief.

However, Dongfang Jinghong's longsword did not slow down at all. With the infusion of Yuan Qi, it instantly severed Hei Yu's entire head.

Black Feather's struggling body froze instantly, its dark claws hanging straight down, and its massive body crashed to the ground, creating another deep crater.

Upon seeing their squad leader killed, the remaining eagle demons immediately fell into panic.

Seeing that his plan had worked, Li Youan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had already broken through the eagle demon's obstruction and arrived at Dongfang Jinghong's side.

"Boss, how was it? I told you I'd protect you, absolutely no problem!"

With another shot, Li Youan forced back the two eagle demons in front of him, who were somewhat distracted by the death of their squad leader.

He then quickly thrust his spear into the ground and, with lightning speed, threw dozens of array plates into the air.

"Now it's my turn to perform."

With the help of the Rejuvenation Pill, Dongfang Jinghong's complexion became rosy, and he returned his longsword to his hand, standing beside Li Youan.

"Give me five breaths to watch me deal with them."
