High-level martial arts: Long spear with black flames to suppress demons.

Shen Chang'an did not pursue. The wound on his chest was rapidly closing under the effect of the Nirvana Technique, but the power that had invaded his body was extremely difficult to deal with. It was not until the black flames flowed along his meridians that it was completely burned away.

He has been injured twice in just a few encounters.

Mi Hai's strength and speed were superior to his. Even within his spiritual domain, she was not completely suppressed; instead, she was able to seize every opportunity to get close and exploit her advantage.

But she didn't really gain any advantage.

The black flames on the spear continued to burn, and the fire in the spirit realm continued to expand.

The scattered demonic energy, once freed from the constraints of the stone crown's patterns, was quickly burned away and transformed into spiritual energy, flowing back into Shen Chang'an's body.

Despite the ebb and flow of energy, his aura did not weaken noticeably.

Looking at him, Mi Hai felt for the first time that this human was somewhat troublesome.

She could wound him, but she couldn't approach him without restraint. Any touch could unleash those black flames upon her, and she was certain that these flames could destroy the patterns the stone slab had given her.

This is far more troublesome than injuring the physical body. The physical body can be restored by demonic energy, but if the stone slab is damaged, it will be a permanent injury.

Beyond the Spirit Realm, Cang Gu and Kunpeng clashed once more. Giant waves surged past the edge of the battlefield, and Du Yue activated the Zhenhai Seal, unleashing an even heavier golden light to push the impact back into the sea.

The stone crown on Mi Hai's forehead glowed slightly, and a wisp of power was released to once again restrain Kunpeng's restless consciousness.

Shen Chang'an immediately raised his gun.

Several spatial nodes lit up beside Mi Hai, the cutting nodes of the Heaven and Earth Severing Seal connecting with each other, sealing off the direction she was originally preparing to retreat. At the same time, black and gold flames intertwined and rose along the spearhead, and a bolt of lightning fell from above, striking the spear tip precisely.

Mi Hai suddenly turned his gaze back.

The spear had already pierced through the wind and waves and arrived in front of her. She clasped her hands together, and layers of barriers condensed in front of her palms. For the first time, the stone crown on her forehead emitted a distinct purplish-black light.

The gun barrel collided head-on with the barrier.

The seawater beneath their feet suddenly surged outwards, black flames spread in all directions along the sunken barrier, and lightning continuously seeped in through the cracks. Shen Chang'an tensed his arms, his spiritual energy surging within him, and pressed forward with his spear.

The lines on Mi Hai's palm broke apart layer by layer, only to be restored again in the light of the stone crown.

Their eyes met face-to-face through the burning black flames.

At that moment, no one backed down.

The scales on the tip of the spear shattered one after another, only to be restored in the light of the stone crown.

Shen Chang'an tensed his arms, gripped the Thousand Changes and pressed forward. The seawater beneath their feet had been forced apart by the force of their collision, forming a continuously expanding depression.

Mi Hai raised his eyes, and a purplish-black light suddenly fell from the stone crown on his forehead, spreading outward along the barrier in front of his palm.

A tremendous force traveled through the gun barrel, and the opponent's counterattack began.

He used the momentum to retreat, and the Thousand Transformations spun halfway through his palm, the spear tip flicking up a black flame to block Mi Hai's follow-up palm.

At the same time, an umbrella quietly appeared above her head.

The moment the Heavenly Net Umbrella opened, fine patterns lit up between the ribs, and the dangling spiritual light intertwined, briefly enveloping the surrounding space.

Mi Hai paused slightly as she took a step forward. The surrounding seawater seemed to suddenly become viscous, even hindering the demonic energy she was spreading.

But this magical artifact still couldn't trap her.

Mi Hai reached back and grabbed at the drooping beams of light, her fingers tightening, instantly straightening the beams. But just as she was about to tear them apart, Shen Chang'an suddenly vanished.

The sea, the flames, and even the long umbrella overhead all blurred at the same time.

Mi Hai's eyes turned cold, and the stone crown flashed with an eerie light, instantly cracking the ever-changing scenery around her. She had already experienced this kind of technique that invaded her senses, so naturally she wouldn't be completely unprepared.

However, Shen Chang'an did not expect the dream to trap her; he only needed to delay her for a moment.

Within the spiritual realm, the pseudo-spiritual figure beneath the tree raised its hands, forming the same hand seal as Shen Chang'an. The spatial nodes scattered during their previous exchange lit up one after another, landing in front of, behind, to the left and right of Mi Hai, completely surrounding her location.

"The Seal that Severs Heaven and Earth!"

Shen Chang'an pressed down hard with both hands.

As soon as Mi Hai tore through the illusion before her, she saw a large number of spatial nodes appearing all around her and connecting with each other. Space began to collapse, and the world shifted in her eyes.

Her clothes tore silently.

Immediately afterwards, a line of blood extended from her shoulder to her abdomen.

Mi Hai's pupils contracted sharply, and bluish-black scales instantly covered her entire body, while the patterns in the stone crown on her forehead lit up. But the spatial slicing had already occurred, and fine cracks crisscrossed in front of her, causing blood to erupt from her shoulders, arms, waist, abdomen, and legs.

She turned sharply, trying to avoid the most crowded area, but the ethereal light from the Heavenly Net Umbrella once again entangled her.

But after that brief pause, several more cuts appeared on her back.

Large patches of scales shattered, and blood gushed from the cracks, turning the surrounding mist dark. Mi Hai let out a low groan, and with a sudden tug, finally broke free of the spiritual light binding him. He then rushed out through a gap that was not yet fully closed.

Shen Chang'an did not stop; his hand seals changed once more.

Several spatial slashes followed her figure and fell one after another, one of which struck her neck, cutting through the scales covering it and leaving a very deep wound.

But her body was never severed.

The purplish-black light emanating from the stone crown had seeped into every scale. Deep within the wound, fine lines, like threads, firmly held the flesh together, preventing it from separating. The spatial cutting technique severed the scales and flesh, but encountered immense resistance as it continued to penetrate deeper.

Mi Hai burst through the last cut and suddenly raised his hand.

A beam of purplish-black light struck the area beneath the Heavenly Net Umbrella, causing the umbrella surface to tremble violently and the cascading spiritual light to disperse instantly.

Shen Chang'an immediately waved his hand and retrieved the Heavenly Net Umbrella.

Through the churning mist, Mi Hai slowly straightened up. Her outer garments were tattered, and her torso and limbs were covered in bluish-black scales, with blood dripping continuously from the edges of the scales. Especially on her neck and abdomen, two wounds failed to close, still being torn apart by residual spatial energy.

She raised her hand and touched the side of her neck; her fingertips were immediately stained with blood.

When she looked at Shen Chang'an again, the coldness in her eyes had become extremely intense.

Shen Chang'an's breathing also became heavier.

The consecutive use of the Heaven and Earth Severing Seal had taken a toll on his spiritual power and soul. Now that he had finally gained the upper hand, he naturally wouldn't stand still and wait for his opponent to recover from his injuries.

The Phoenix True Fire within his body suddenly surged.

The branches and leaves of the golden parasol tree swayed in unison, and two phoenixes circling among them flapped their wings simultaneously, stirring up waves of fire interwoven with black and gold. He raised his right hand, his five fingers slowly closing, and streaks of fire converged along his arm towards his palm.

When Du Qiongyu taught him this move, he couldn't even condense a complete fire seal.

But things are different now.

"Nine Revolutions Burning Heaven!"

A low shout rang out, and the flames in the spirit realm suddenly surged upwards.
