I manage female characters in all the heavens.

The ruby ​​ring on Ren Qianfan's hand is very similar in shape and style to this emerald ring, so they look like a pair. Perhaps the ruby ​​ring also has its unique function.

Ren Qianfan glanced at the emerald ring, then at the still composed Dongfang Bubai, pondered for a moment, and then tossed the ring to Shangguan Yun.

"Put it on her right middle finger." The deep, resonant voice rang out again, echoing through the cave with a lingering, reverberating quality.

Ren Qianfan walked step by step to the altar in the center of the cave, sat down cross-legged with his palms facing the sky, and made a prayer gesture.

Shangguan Yun, clutching the emerald ring, approached Dongfang Bubai, looking at her with a mocking smile.

"Master Dongfang, please obediently extend your right hand. You don't want me to use force, do you?"

"After all, you are seriously injured and have eight Dragon-Locking Nails in your body. You are weaker than a little girl. I am worried that I might accidentally kill you."

"You accidentally killed me?" Dongfang Bubai repeated the sentence, then suddenly laughed, "What a good dog."

Shangguan Yun's expression changed, and he immediately jumped back seven or eight meters, looking at Dongfang Bubai with surprise and uncertainty.

The other hall masters and elders were also startled. They exchanged glances and warily surrounded Dongfang Bubai, their brows furrowed.

Seeing so many experts surrounding Dongfang Bubai, Shangguan Yun felt reassured and asked:

"Han Jingde, have you confirmed whether the Dragon-Locking Nail is effective?"

Han Jingde, who was intently watching the situation, was startled and quickly replied, "I personally tested it with my true energy, and the Dragon-Locking Nails are undoubtedly effective!"

Upon hearing the reply, Shangguan Yun stared at Dongfang Bubai again, looking him up and down.

Clad in red, she stood atop the highest peak, exuding an unparalleled aura of dominance. How could a prisoner maintain such an unmatched demeanor?

Shangguan Yun sneered three times: "Playing tricks! Dongfang Bubai, regardless of whether you have lost your martial arts today or not, facing the siege of nine top-notch masters and with Master Ren backing you up, you are still doomed!"

"No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you can't possibly kill us all."

Hard to say.

Ren Qianfan quietly opened one eye, looking at Dongfang Bubai who remained calm and composed in the face of the encirclement, seemingly at ease, and pondered.

The reason Shangguan Yunlai was to put the ring on Dongfang Bubai's finger was to prevent Dongfang Bubai from having the strength to resist and suddenly launching an attack that would catch him off guard.

Currently, he has absorbed Ren Woxing through the "Double Soul Rings," gaining all of Ren Woxing's martial arts and combat power. Combined with his own martial arts, his strength is even greater than Ren Woxing's at his peak.

However, he ultimately lacked a divine skill to protect him. Faced with Dongfang Bubai, who had mastered the Sunflower Manual, his strength was still laughably weak, and it was not surprising that he was instantly defeated.

So he chose a safer approach, walking himself to the altar away from Dongfang Bubai, and letting Shangguan Yun put the ring on Dongfang Bubai's finger.

This way, even if Dongfang Bubai suddenly attacks, the first people to face her will be Shangguan Yun and others, giving her ample time to react.

Once the "Azure Soul Ring" is on his body, there will be nothing to fear anymore. With Dongfang Bubai's power in hand, no one in this world can stop him.

Compared to Shangguan Yun and others, and even everyone else in this world, he was the one who understood Dongfang Bubai's strength the most.

Whether it's Zuo Lengchan of Songshan, Fang Zheng of Shaolin, or Ren Woxing of the Demonic Cult, as long as Dongfang Bubai is determined, he can kill them in less than three moves.

Even if Feng Qingyang appeared before Dongfang Bubai at this moment, his old age and frailty would at most allow him to hold his own against Dongfang Bubai with the Dugu Nine Swords, with no hope of defeating her whatsoever.

Even if he was absolutely certain that the opponent was indeed seriously injured and locked by the Dragon-Locking Nail, he still had to be extremely careful when facing such a master.

He had no doubt that even if a powerful figure like Dongfang Bubai was truly crippled, he would still have the ability to take anyone with him before he died.

"Han Jingde, come here and put the ring on Dongfang Bubai's finger." Shangguan Yun hesitated for a long time before deciding to subcontract the work.

Ren Qianfan remained silent.

They dare to subcontract right in front of me, what would they do behind my back?

Is this the Sun Moon Cult or the Soul Palace's Laughing Proud Branch?

Sure enough, even though the cultists were numerous, powerful, and highly skilled, they couldn't be relied on; they could cause a major disaster at any time.

If you want to find followers, you have to go to the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Look at the followers of the Songshan Sect. They are truly willing to risk their lives for Zuo Lengchan. They are not afraid of hardship or fatigue. The Thirteen Protectors personally do all the dirty and tiring work.

Upon hearing this, Han Jingde stepped forward without hesitation, took the ring, and swaggered toward Dongfang Bubai.

He personally tested the effects of the Dragon-Locking Nails he had cast himself, and was more confident than anyone else that Dongfang Bubai would be unable to resist.

Shangguan Yun failed to seize this opportunity to perform well in front of the new leader and instead gave it to him; he was simply short-sighted.

Without even thinking, it's clear that Shangguan Yun will find it difficult to be given important responsibilities again, while Han Jingde will surely rise to prominence in the future!

"Dongfang Bubai, stretch out your hand!" Han Jingde shouted loudly, his eyes filled with a desire for advancement.

They didn't wait for Dongfang Bubai to obediently extend his hand, which was obviously impossible; he was just saying it for fun to bolster his own prestige.

He stepped forward, grabbed Dongfang Bubai's right hand, forcibly pried her hand open, and was about to put the ring on her finger.

Dongfang Bubai suddenly sighed, "It seems this is the end."

boom!

Like a sun rising in an instant, endless heat surged and roared, filling the entire cave in a flash.

Chapter 90 is too much! Cultivation is forbidden!

Before he could react at all, Han Jingde was sent flying and then exploded in mid-air!

Dongfang Bubai reached out and caught the Jade Soul Ring, his face cold, and his fierce true energy exploded out!

The moment Shangguan Yun and the others' expressions changed, an incredibly intense and scorching surge of true energy swept over them, instantly blasting them away!

The three hall masters and six elders, a total of nine top-notch experts, were defeated in an instant before they could even react, with some dying and others injured!

While Sang San Niang was still in mid-air, Dongfang Bubai had already taken a step in front of her and grabbed her in his hand.

Dongfang Bubai deliberately held back against Sang San Niang, but this was not out of forgiveness or favor, but because she was useful.

The intense, yang, fierce, and domineering Sunflower True Qi surged into her dantian, uncontrollably circulating along her meridians. It used the yin essence of her body as a female master to cool down the Sunflower True Qi before returning to Dongfang Bubai's body.

Through this process, the intensity and domineering nature of the Sunflower True Qi were temporarily reduced, preventing it from immediately killing Dongfang Bubai due to its fierce attributes.

The appearance of Sang San Niang was an unexpected surprise; not every woman could handle the task of calming the Sunflower True Qi.

As one of the ten elders of the Demonic Sect, Sang San Niang's martial arts skills are also at a first-class level. Moreover, due to the inherent disadvantage of women in terms of strength, she needs a relatively higher level of internal energy cultivation to compete with men of the same level.

Among these top-tier masters, Sang San Niang's internal energy cultivation is outstanding, which naturally means that her body's vital energy is relatively abundant, and she also practices a cold and yin attribute technique, which is suitable for her.

Only a female master like her could help Dongfang Bubai complete this process, giving her a sliver of hope to survive even if she unleashed her true energy.

The chance is slim, really just a tiny one, but it's worth a try nonetheless.

The Sunflower True Qi is extremely intense, capable of melting even metal. One can only imagine the effects of it being forcibly injected into the human body.

Sang San Niang felt as if her entire body was burning from the inside out, every inch of her flesh and blood was being licked by flames, the pain was excruciating, and her soul was shaking.

She opened her mouth to scream in agony, but her throat was already charred and she couldn't make a sound. She could only tremble in agony as it gradually smoked, carbonized, and burned.

Everything happened in an instant. When he felt the Sunflower True Qi flowing back into his body with a cool sensation, Dongfang Bubai continued to use Sang San Niang to cool down, while on the other hand, he released the embroidery needle he had been holding all the way after a short period of charging!

Howling!

It didn't feel like a needle flying out; it felt like a cannonball leaving the barrel, emitting a violent whistling sound that made people's eardrums ache.

This needle carried nearly half of Dongfang Bubai's Sunflower True Qi, and it was the uncooled part. While maximizing the damage to the enemy, it could also consume his own power, further reducing the harm caused by the subsequent backlash of true qi.

The difference between a full backlash of true energy and a backlash of only half true energy is enormous for Dongfang Bubai, enough to further increase her chances of survival.

The delicate embroidery needle, propelled by a massive amount of Sunflower True Qi, was as heavy as a mountain and as swift as a streak of light, arriving before Ren Qianfan in the blink of an eye.

The events that just happened were as fast as lightning, but Ren Qianfan quickly recovered after a brief moment of astonishment.

The previous caution was not in vain!

Seeing the flying needles—no, the cannonballs—approaching, his pupils suddenly contracted. He activated his Star Absorbing Technique to its fullest extent, and the enormous suction force acted on the wall beside him, pulling him to the side and suddenly moving him a few inches away.

chap!

The flying needle swept past his eyes, the sharp wind tearing a bloody gash across his face, the crimson blood bead flying high into the air, as dazzling as his ruby ​​ring.

boom!

The flying needle pierced the wall, unleashing a tremendous roar. Large chunks of rock exploded, leaving a huge crater in the wall.

A green figure quickly dodged, avoiding the rubble while continuing to conceal itself.

Dongfang Bubai's eyes flickered, taking in the entire scene.

Endless rubble shot out, tearing apart tables, chairs, cabinets, and screens. All the man-made equipment and facilities inside the cave were shattered at this moment.

With a surge of immense true energy, Ren Qianfan turned and unleashed a series of palm strikes, shattering the incoming rubble.

The next moment, a whooshing sound came from behind again, like a huge rock flying towards them.

He took a deep breath, his true energy surged, and he activated the Star Absorbing Technique to its limit. He jumped into the air, flipped over, and unleashed a shocking palm strike behind him!

The repulsive force of the palm technique and the suction force of the Star Absorbing Technique acted simultaneously on the same point, instantly tearing and shredding the flying boulder.

A plume of black dust erupted from the broken boulder, accompanied by the sound of tearing clothing.

Ren Qianfan's expression changed, and he realized that what he had just torn apart was not a boulder, but the completely carbonized and dried corpse of Sang San Niang!

The moment Sang San Niang's body was torn open, Dongfang Bubai's beautiful yet arrogant and domineering face appeared before Ren Qianfan. A ring suddenly appeared in her hand and shot towards Ren Qianfan's brow at lightning speed.

Ren Qianfan's expression changed as he recognized it as his Jade Soul Ring.

Although the Jade Soul Ring is a supernatural item with extraordinary power, its material is not very sturdy and is no different from an ordinary emerald ring. If it were to hit any hard object at this speed, it would surely be damaged.

This is a treasure he acquired at great cost, a crucial item that made him invincible for a short period of time, and he cannot afford to lose it!

He immediately withdrew his palm force and used the suction power of the Star Absorbing Technique to draw in the Jade Soul Ring, intending to grab it and protect it.

But at that very moment, Dongfang Bubai forcefully gathered his energy and fired another needle, piercing Ren Qianfan's heart!

After receiving the injection, Dongfang Bubai finally collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on any longer.

Under Dongfang Bubai's exquisite control, the Jade Soul Ring and the flying needle will arrive at Ren Qianfan's location simultaneously, forcing him to either catch the ring and the flying needle at the same time, or abandon both.

Life or future? This is a difficult choice.

However, sometimes it may not be that difficult.

Without hesitation, Ren Qianfan chose to risk his life, dodging the flying needles and abandoning the Jade Soul Ring.

As long as a person is alive, possibilities always exist; when a person dies, everything is gone. He understood this very clearly.

Moreover, even if he lost the Jade Soul Ring, it didn't mean he had no chance at all. After all, Ren Woxing had already obtained everything, and he was no longer the same person he used to be.

At worst, I can become invincible on my own!
