He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"court death!!"

Upon seeing this, the leader of the men in black robes cried out in alarm and anger.

He hadn't expected the phantom of the divine general to be so powerful, and he certainly hadn't expected it to turn against him in the blink of an eye!

Seeing that Huo Ming's life or death was unknown, he shouted sternly:

"Attack together! Eliminate this phantom first!"

At the same time, the ten black-robed men unleashed intense dark energy, their figures transforming into ten black lightning bolts, attacking Marshal Tianpeng from all directions!

Various insidious and bizarre dark magic and martial arts techniques,

It poured down on that enormous, golden figure like a torrential downpour.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

In an instant, golden light and black light collided wildly in the air!

The deafening roar continued incessantly, and energy storms swept in all directions, dyeing the sky a mix of gold and black.

Marshal Tianpeng fought ten opponents single-handedly, wielding his nine-toothed rake with sweeping, powerful strokes.

Each strike contained terrifying divine power capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth.

The golden light forced the ten men in black robes to retreat repeatedly, their dark energy constantly being dispersed.

Lu Chen had already taken the opportunity to fly higher and sit cross-legged to watch the show.

"Pfft! Haha—"

Hua Xiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"My husband, you are so amazing!"

Such a ridiculous lie...

They actually managed to fool this divine general!

"Husband, I never knew you had such a talent for 'swindling and deception'!"

Bibi Dong smiled.

"Could it be... something he honed when he was flirting with young girls?"

"How is that possible!"

Lu Chen immediately issued a solemn statement.

"I swear to God!"

I, Lu Chen, have always acted with integrity and honesty. I only have you guys in my heart. How could I have ever had any experience of seducing young girls!

Don't wrong me!

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Bibi Dong and Hua Xiyu felt incredibly sweet inside, gazing at Lu Chen with tender affection.

Only Zhu Qingqing's tiny face was filled with shock.

As a member of the military, she knew more secrets than ordinary people and had some understanding of the Tibetan family's "divine invocation" technique. Those divine generals were likely powerful beings from a higher plane.

Now, her husband was able to tell the whole story of this "Marshal Tianpeng" without even realizing it.

Doesn't this mean that my husband...?

It is very likely that they come from the same world as these "divine generals" or have a very deep connection with them.

This discovery sent shockwaves through Zhu Qingqing's heart, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.

Her gaze toward Lu Chen held not only deep affection but also a strong desire to explore.

Just how mysterious is this man?!

On the battlefield, the situation was one-sided.

"puff!"

"puff!"

Two more men in black robes were struck by Marshal Tianpeng's rake, even with the protection of dark energy.

He was also shaken by the divine power, spitting out blood, and was sent flying backward like a tattered sack.

It crashed heavily into a distant sand dune, its fate unknown.

Marshal Tianpeng wielded his rake like a tiger among sheep, routing the ten black-robed men and leaving them in a sorry state.

The dark formation was shattered, and its combined attack had long since collapsed.

As he played, he shook his head and commented, his voice full of disdain:

"Weak! Too weak! With your meager skills, you dare to act as lackeys of demons and frame my junior brother? You're not even good enough to tickle my old pig's itch!"

"Damn it! How come this guy is so thick-skinned?!"

A man in black robes clutched his sunken chest, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face extremely pale.

The ten of them attacked, unleashing a barrage of dark magic, but they couldn't even break through the opponent's golden light defense. The recoil caused their blood to churn.

"Whoosh—"

Marshal Tianpeng slung his nine-toothed rake over his shoulder, picked his nose, and looked down at the ten disheveled men below with disdain, grumbling in a deep voice:

"You demons and lackeys, show me what other skills you have, and let this old pig see just how much you're worth!"

He was seized by a playful impulse and decided to give the other person a chance to "show off."

According to his calculations, his divine power projection was basically invincible.

"boom!!!"

Just then, the yellow sand below exploded, and a disheveled figure soared into the sky. It was Huo Ming, who had been smashed into the sand pit by a rake earlier!

His hair was disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and his eyes were bloodshot.

His murderous aura was so intense it almost solidified.

"Get out of my way! I want this fat pig to die a horrible death!!"

Huo Ming roared at the black-robed men who were still besieging Marshal Tianpeng, his voice hoarse.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the black-robed men's eyes flashed with a strange light. He waved his hand, and the other nine black-robed men immediately withdrew, giving up the main battlefield.

They also wanted to see if Huo Ming, who was using his trump card, could deal with this strange and powerful phantom of a divine general.

"Old man, are you sure you can beat me, Old Pig, by yourself?"

Marshal Tianpeng looked at Huo Ming, who seemed to have gone mad, and spoke with a tone full of sarcasm.

"Shut up!"

Huo Ming roared and, without saying a word, shattered his tattered clothes with a loud "bang," revealing his muscular upper body.

Strangely, a dark purple magic circle was clearly inscribed on his chest.

The array patterns undulated slightly, like living things, emitting a chilling fluctuation.

"puff!"

Without hesitation, Huo Ming slapped his own chest.

He forced out a mouthful of heart's blood, rich in vital essence.

He then smeared it onto the magic circle on his chest!

"With my blood, ignite the Netherworld Fire!!"

"True form of the Netherworld, manifest!!!"

Huo Ming rapidly formed hand seals, letting out a beast-like roar, his face contorted with bulging veins.

"boom--!!!"

The next second, a cold and violent aura burst forth from his body like a volcanic eruption!

The magic circle on his chest suddenly lit up, and then a large ball of dark blue flames surged out from it, instantly engulfing Huo Ming!

The flames expanded rapidly, transforming in the blink of an eye into a ten-meter-tall fire giant, clad in ferocious bone armor and wielding a massive, ghostly blue flame sword!

The giant's eyes burned with two eerie blue flames as he locked onto Marshal Tianpeng!

"Um?"

Marshal Tianpeng's expression turned solemn, his brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself:

"I didn't expect this little world to have demonic creatures... This is going to be tricky..."

On the other side, Lu Chen, who had been watching the battle, also put away his relaxed expression and his eyes became sharp.

The aura emanating from this fire giant was cold and evil, yet contained terrifying power, making him feel a strong threat.

"My lady, be ready to merge at any time!"

Lu Chen immediately sent a telepathic message to Bibi Dong and Hua Xiyu.

"My husband, we are always ready!!"

Bibi Dong and Hua Xiyu's voices rang out simultaneously, both tinged with solemnity.

They also sensed that the aura of the fire giant was comparable to that of a great demon of level 280 or above!

Even more dangerous!

"That Huo Ming guy, he's really enraged, actually willing to sacrifice his lifespan and use the Netherworld Secret Technique!"

The leader of the black-robed men looked at the fire giant from afar, muttering to himself, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

While the Netherworld True Form possesses immense power, its backlash against the caster is also extremely terrifying.

His gaze lingered between the fire giant and Marshal Tianpeng, trying to see who would emerge victorious.
