I manage female characters in all the heavens.

Moreover, the icy cold true energy traveled along the sword and almost froze his arm!

If it weren't for the intense heat of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill for expelling the chill in time, his right arm would probably be ruined!

Lord Yingri shook his slightly numb right hand and looked at Yan Nantian with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

For her to back down, Yan Nantian truly deserves to be called the number one swordsman in the world. He has made considerable progress in recent days, surpassing his previous peak by a large margin.

But that's it.

She transformed into a blur once more and launched her attack!

With a swift movement, he appeared in front of Yan Nantian and struck out with a palm!

That palm strike seemed light and effortless, yet the air itself froze wherever it passed!

Yan Nantian dared not be negligent. He blocked with his longsword, channeling his true energy into the blade, causing a layer of crimson light to emanate from its edge!

Bang!

Their palms clashed, producing a dull, loud thud!

Yan Nantian felt a chilling, bone-piercing true energy flow through the sword, causing his right hand, which was holding the sword, to stiffen slightly!

He was startled and quickly activated the true energy of the wedding dress to expel the cold energy from his body. At the same time, he flicked his longsword, which transformed into a crimson sword curtain, blocking all of the Demon King's subsequent attacks!

The two exchanged five blows in an instant, and the forces of yin and yang collided and exploded on the battlefield, leaving the surrounding ground cratered!

However, it was clear to anyone with eyes that Yan Nantian had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Every sword strike he wielded was easily deflected by the Demon Lord Ying Ri, while every palm strike from Ying Ri forced him to fight with all his might, lest he be invaded by that icy true energy if he was not careful.

The omnipresent demonic influence was affecting him. Although he burned it away in an instant with his extremely ardent will, it lingered like a shadow or a maggot clinging to his bones, making it impossible to completely get rid of and requiring him to constantly distract himself from dealing with it.

The demon-slaying warriors around them dared not approach, and could only stand at a distance, looking for an opportunity to shoot arrows or throw hidden weapons.

However, those cold arrows and hidden weapons, when they approached within three zhang of Lord Yingri, were frozen by that bone-chilling true energy, and then fell helplessly to the ground.

"Hero Yan, I'm here to help you!"

With a loud shout, Lu Zhongyuan burst out from the crowd, his palms striking out simultaneously, two sharp palm winds aimed directly at Lord Yingri's back!

His palm technique was incredibly exquisite. With each breath of his palm, it was as if countless hidden forces were intertwining in the air, forming an invisible net that completely blocked Lord Yingri's escape route!

Without turning his head, Lord Yingri waved his left hand behind him, and an ice wall materialized out of thin air, blocking Lu Zhongyuan's palm strike!

Bang!

The ice wall shattered, and Lu Zhongyuan's palm strike was also mostly depleted. The remaining palm strike was about to hit Lord Yingri's back, but it suddenly stopped three feet away and was reflected back by a strange force field!

Lu Zhongyuan's face turned ashen. He had been sent flying by his own palm strike and dared not attack rashly again.

He had used all his strength in that palm strike, but the opponent didn't even bother to defend properly.

The difference is huge!

Of course, this is not surprising. It is a fact that even a blind person can understand that Ying Ri is far superior to Lu Zhongyuan.

"Let me, Xie, also come and learn from you!"

An aged yet sharp voice rang out, and Xie Guiyuan's figure shot out from the crowd like a streak of cyan sword light!

He held an ancient longsword in his hand, the blade of which was covered with a layer of cyan sword energy, carrying a sharp aura that could cut through anything, and aimed straight at Lord Yingri's throat!

This sword strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless, with no superfluous movements, only the purest killing intent!

A hint of admiration flashed in Lord Yingri's eyes once more. He condensed demonic intent into a blade of light and slashed out at the sword aura in an instant!

The blade light and sword energy collided and clashed in the air, then exploded, turning into a terrifying storm that tore everything around it to shreds. Terrifying cracks quickly appeared on the ground, and many people were swept up and crushed.

Xie Guiyuan's sword stance changed, and he slashed horizontally with his longsword. The sword energy was about to rise again, but Ying Ri struck the sword with a powerful finger strike in advance, sending him flying.

"The legacy of Divine Sword Manor is quite impressive." Ying Ri didn't hold back her praise. As expected of Divine Sword Manor, which produced Xie Xiaofeng, Xie Guiyuan is quite something.

Xie Guiyuan steadied himself, his hand gripping the sword still trembling uncontrollably, and his gaze toward Lord Yingri was filled with solemnity.

This demon... is terrifying!

Just then, a short figure emerged from the ground beneath Lord Yingri's feet like a ghost!

It was Wei Wuyuan!

He held a poisoned short blade in each hand and thrust it straight at Lord Yingri's ankles!

This move is insidious, vicious, and impossible to defend against!

However, it seemed as if Lady Yingri had anticipated this, and the moment he appeared, she stomped her right foot on the ground!

A terrifying chill erupted from beneath her feet, freezing the surrounding ground into an icy expanse!

Wei Wuyuan felt a bone-chilling coldness coming from his feet, and his movements instantly froze!

In that brief moment of stalemate, Lord Yingri had already kicked out, striking him squarely in the chest!

Bang!

Wei Wuyuan was kicked away like a ball, tumbling several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"Sect Leader Wei!"

Lu Zhongyuan exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to check on Wei Wuyuan's injuries.

Wei Wuyuan clutched his chest, his face pale, his eyes filled with horror: "Her...her strength...is so much stronger than it was two months ago!"

Just over two months ago, he was able to fight Yingri and destroy the Jiang family mansion.

But now, only two months later, he can't even withstand a single move!

This demon's rate of progress is simply terrifying!

Lady Yingri patted her skirt, looked around at the demon-slaying warriors who surrounded her, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

Without another word, she transformed into a blur and plunged into the crowd!

Mingyu Gong, the Absorption Technique, and the three demonic swords of Avici Hell unleash their full power!

Wherever she went, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and corpses littered the ground!

No one can stop her from making a single move!

No one can keep up with her speed!

She was like a life-reaping machine, traversing the 60,000-strong demon-slaying army with unparalleled skill and might!

Yan Nantian gritted his teeth and charged forward again, sword in hand!

Lu Zhongyuan, Xie Guiyuan, Wei Wuya, and others also took action to try to restrain her movements!

After experiencing a painful ordeal and receiving guidance from Yan Nantian, Xiaoyuer has cultivated the Five Ultimate Divine Skills to the level of a top master. Although he is not as good as veteran top masters like Lu Zhongyuan and Wei Wuyuan, he is not much weaker.

Meanwhile, there is also Murong Jiu from the Murong family, who, under Yan Nantian's guidance, has cultivated the Fossil Divine Skill to a profound level, and his strength is no less than that of Xiaoyuer.

Du Sha, too, was treated by many divine healers summoned by the Demon Extermination Alliance. In a special way, the meridians lost due to the loss of his arm were restored, and his martial arts were restored to perfection, allowing him to once again join the ranks of top masters.

They were all fighting, battling like madmen, giving it their all.

However, it was all in vain.

The power of Yingri has exceeded their comprehension.

Even when Yan Nantian joined forces with them, they could only create some obstacles for Ying Ri. They could only launch futile attacks on Ying Ri time and time again, taking advantage of the opportunities created by the army's sacrifices, and were repeatedly defeated.

One hour later.

On the battlefield, corpses littered the ground and blood flowed like rivers.

Of the 60,000 demon-slaying troops, more than half have already been lost.

More than 30,000 corpses lay scattered across the wilderness, blood soaking the earth and a heavy stench of blood filling the air.

The pale yellow figure still stood in the center of the battlefield, his robes fluttering in the wind.

She looked down at the gash on her skirt that Yan Nantian had cut open, and shook her head.

This was the greatest achievement the Demon Extermination Alliance had made in this hour—severing a section of her skirt.

She quite liked the dress.

She raised her head and looked at the remaining soldiers of the Demon Extermination Army in the distance, whose morale had almost collapsed and who were beginning to flee. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

Those who survived have already been tempered by the bloody battle, their potential has been pushed to the limit, many have made key breakthroughs in their martial arts, and they must have come up with many ingenious ideas to destroy this demon.

They've already largely digested their previous foundation, making it difficult for them to make significant progress in a short period. It's time to reap the rewards.

The spiraling aura spread, drawing strength from the air, while simultaneously pushing her lightness skill to its limit, allowing her to arrive in front of Yan Nantian with lightning speed.

Exhausted, Yan Nantian unleashed a powerful sword strike, tearing a seven- or eight-zhang-long chasm in the ground with its overwhelming light.

But it was impossible for her to hit Yingri; she easily dodged it, flicked the sword out of his hand, and pressed her right hand against his body.

The Absorption Technique is activated at full power!

Even if the Absorption Technique is considered a superior technique, it's unrealistic to expect it to absorb Yan Nantian when he's in good condition.

Yan Nantian's martial arts skills are probably no weaker than Cao Zhengchun's in "The World's Number One", and may even be stronger.

Even Zhu Wushi had to defeat Cao Zhengchun and severely weaken him before he could absorb him. Yingri's skill was far inferior to Zhu Wushi's, so it would be even more difficult for him to absorb a master like Yan Nantian.

Fortunately, she had already exhausted Yan Nantian in the past hour, and he was now in position.

The moment he was grabbed, a strange suction force spread throughout Yan Nantian's body, making him, who was already exhausted, almost unable to move.

Feeling his true energy, essence, flesh and blood, and even his soul and consciousness rapidly draining away, Yan Nantian smiled bitterly.

It was a truly utter and utter defeat, without any dramatic ups and downs...

"Hero Yan!" "Little Yan!" "Uncle Yan!" "Hero Yan!"

When Lu Zhongyuan, Xie Guiyuan, Xiaoyuer, and the others saw Yan Nantian being captured and devoured, their eyes widened in fury, and they rushed forward like madmen, only to be knocked away by Yingri, who managed to find an opening amidst the chaos.

Without Yan Nantian, these so-called experts are nothing but ants.

Despite being devoured, Yan Nantian surprisingly mustered the strength to move, grabbing Yingri's hand that was pressing down on him, and then shouting at the top of his lungs, "Escape!!!"

The members of the Demon Extermination Alliance were taken aback, and many of them who were already fleeing suddenly sped up even more.

Lord Yingri was quite surprised: "You can still move, as expected of you, Yan Nantian. But what's the point of running away? You will eventually be caught up and devoured by me one by one."

Yan Nantian gripped Yingri's hands tightly, his eyes filled with determination: "I will stay here and hold you off! I will buy them time."
