The scene fell silent. Cang Yu was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Zhong Li, then at the direction he had gone, and then pointed at Zhong Li with a trembling finger.

She was so angry that she lost her voice and couldn't utter a single word.

That wasn't all. Zhongli withdrew his hand, looked at Cang Yu calmly, and said, "This way, it's safer."

"And you don't need to worry about it. That rock spear isn't very powerful. It will only suppress you for a while, and you'll be able to get out after a while."

Cang Yu's eyes reddened, her lips trembled with grievance, and then she burst into tears. She really cried, and her crying was even more intense than the one who flew away earlier.

There's no way around it, it's just too damn messed up. Even Wu Qiu would cry if she were in Wu Qiu's shoes.

He originally thought it was Zhongli who sealed him away, but to his surprise, it was indeed him, but the one from three thousand years later, and right in front of him.

She told herself it was okay afterward, that she'd be out in a bit. But she didn't know if she'd actually be able to. The question was, would she dare? Clearly not; this would mean hiding for three thousand years!

Three thousand years, who knows how she spent those three thousand years? Even if she was unhappy, she thought that hiding for three thousand years, while not necessarily proving anything, must have had some meaning, since it would have been even more of a loss if she had just gone out and been killed.

But now? Zhongli told her directly that for the past three thousand years, she had been like a fool, suffering alone inside.

How could Cang Yu not cry? Of course, it's not entirely her fault. After all, who the hell could have imagined that they would be pierced by a rock spear that spanned three thousand years?

This is unbelievable, this is utterly ridiculous!

Just as Cang Yu was crying and shouting that he was going to fight Zhong Li to the death, suddenly, the world went dark. It really went dark, completely dark, and it was pitch black in an instant.

The entire sky turned dark, and for a moment, the world seemed to have fallen into hell. But soon, a glimmer of light appeared, and in no time, the world was transformed.

It was a dark red, the entire sky was dark red, and dark red clouds rolled in. Not far from them, really not far, a huge black vortex rose up, and within it, Wu Qiu vaguely saw something terrifying.

Chapter 475: The Struggle

The item appeared, directly and surprisingly. It wasn't far from Wu Qiu and the others, right in front of them.

Looking at the enormous scene, they truly hadn't expected it; they hadn't anticipated that the item would emerge like this. However, they had no time to marvel; seeing that the item had already come out, they couldn't wait any longer.

"Let's go, let's go and take it back."

As he spoke, Wu Qiu suddenly transformed into a demon, his wings flapping behind him, carrying him in that direction. Behind him, Ying stood on the void, blue winds rising and gathering beneath her feet to form a giant longsword.

Do you know what it means to fly on a sword? This is it. Although Ying just received Bai Mo's sword intent, it has already greatly increased her strength and allowed her to completely break free from her previous bottleneck.

Everyone approached as quickly as possible, and soon they arrived outside the thing. Inside, in front of them, they saw a pillar of light shooting into the sky.

The pillar of light was enormous, incredibly large, turning the entire area blood red. Standing outside, they could see something radiating power within it—the very thing they were searching for.

At the same time, they saw a person struggling to move forward inside, and upon closer inspection, they realized it was Tianli and the devil.

Sensing the approaching presences around them, Zhongli turned around and said, "I'll hold them off. You guys go get the things."

Wu Qiu was a little worried. "But, can you manage alone? After all, those are almost all the demon gods of Liyue."

Zhongli nodded. "Given my current situation, it would indeed be difficult to defeat them, but we can still buy time."

After saying this, his divine armor materialized, and auras emanated from him. Zhongli's voice also became deep and resonant as he spoke: "Go quickly, they're here."

Nodding, Wu Qiu and the others didn't stand on ceremony and flew straight in. As soon as they entered, they could clearly feel the compression of the space. In that instant, Wu Qiu felt as if something was pulling him, not injured, but pushing them outwards.

The further in you go, the stronger the force becomes. Wu Qiu was alright, but Paimon was sent flying. If Ying hadn't grabbed her, Paimon would be nowhere to be seen by now.

"No, Paimon can't get in. I'll wait over there."

So Paimon left on its own, flying directly away to get as far away from the battlefield as possible.

At this moment, figures landed outside, spreading demonic auras. They stared at Zhongli, who was standing there, without any fear.

"Morax! Get out of my way!"

One of the demons, wielding a massive blue trident, charged forward in a blur. However, just as he reached Zhongli, Zhongli's amber eyes snapped open, and a shield rose up, rendering the demon's attack utterly ineffective.

He raised his hand, and a burst of power blasted the demon god away. Zhong Li looked up at everyone, including all the demon gods, and spoke with absolute pressure: "You are not welcome here for the time being..."

Inside, Wu Qiu felt that the further he went, the more difficult it became. Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by a dangerous aura.

It was a demon god, a demon god from the future, brought by that devil. It appeared in an instant, its power surging wildly, and its strongest attack slammed directly towards Wu Qiu.

"I'm awesome!"

Wu Qiu cursed angrily, but before he could react, another figure appeared. Immediately afterward, he saw Cang Yu kick the demon god away with a single claw.

With one hand on Wu Qiu's shoulder, Wu Qiu could see three more figures of Cang Yu beside her. At the same time, she blocked the attacks of the three demon gods, and her power erupted, a gust of wind swept across the entire area, directly repelling the three demon gods.

"Hurry up! Forget everything else! Only you can get that thing, move forward!"

As he spoke, Cang Yu disappeared. At this moment, Wu Qiu looked around and found that there were at least ten demon gods here, but they were all blocked by Liu and the others.

Then, the azure Polar Star erupted from Liu's body, and the radiant light of dawn in his hand clashed fiercely with the four demon gods. However, those demon gods were no match for him, but they didn't intend to fight him either; they simply wanted to bypass him and kill Wu Qiu.

These are all demon gods, demon gods! Wu Qiu couldn't defeat one of them. Liu was handling three at once with ease, but he couldn't finish them off quickly.

Meanwhile, Cang Yu also fought three opponents, but still couldn't finish them off quickly. So the question is, what about the remaining four?

Just as Wu Qiu was thinking this, four figures surrounded him. Then, a barrage of attacks rained down.

Wu Qiu's scalp tingled with fear. He knew he couldn't dodge such an attack if he moved forward, as he was already struggling to move. So, Wu Qiu had to retreat, but retreating meant defeat, since the demons were almost upon him.

Just then, Ying appeared beside Wu Qiu.

"Don't back down, I'm here."

Those four words instantly put Wu Qiu at ease. Then, seeing Ying standing in front of him, a blue wind rising around her, she swung her Spirit Wind Slash.

In that instant, Wu Qiu saw the space in front of him tremble. Ying's attack was incredibly powerful; it had actually repelled the four demon gods.

"Xiao Qiu, you go quickly, I'll take care of things here!"

With her back to Wu Qiu, Ying spoke to the Demon God. At the same time, her aura became extremely powerful. This was something Wu Qiu hadn't expected; he hadn't anticipated Ying's strength.

Nodding, Wu Qiu continued forward. But as he got closer, Wu Qiu began to feel somewhat powerless.

The power here was too great; Wu Qiu had no chance to get close at all. Fortunately, the demons on the other side didn't seem to be doing much better either; they were advancing little by little, it was just a matter of who got there first.

"Brother Qiu! I'll help you!"

Just then, a roar suddenly came from behind. Wu Qiu turned around and saw that Feng Shan Jueyun's power was bursting out. The wind behind him was like a jetpack, carrying him forward and finally crashing into Wu Qiu.

Holy crap!

Wu Qiu exclaimed in surprise, and before he could react, he was pulled forward by this guy. They traveled a long way until the force here was strong enough that even Feng Shan Jue Yun Feng Zai together could not push Wu Qiu, and then they finally stopped.

"I'm going! You're crazy!"

Wu Qiu cursed, but looking ahead, he realized they had walked a long way, yet they were still slower than the demon. Moreover, the demon was stronger than Wu Qiu, so although it was slow, it was still faster than Wu Qiu.

At this moment, he was about to get his hands on the thing. Wu Qiu also saw it then; the thing had one eye, the eye of a demon.

"Wait, this thing..."

Wu Qiu casually took out the eye he had obtained in the abyss. Obviously, the one he had was no match for the one in front of him, but sensing that the two were of similar power, Wu Qiu raised his hand and aimed the eyeball at the other side.

The next second, the eyeball moved. The demon was about to get it when it suddenly saw the eyeball tremble, and then, it went straight towards Wu Qiufei.

"what!"

Heavenly Justice and the Demon roared together. Wu Qiu, however, seized the opportunity to grab the eyeball.

"Wow, I didn't expect it to be this simple."

Wu Qiu couldn't help but speak. The next second, the surrounding space suddenly returned to normal, the power and the sense of repulsion disappeared, and everyone recovered.

"Did you get it?"

"Well done, Xiao Qiuzi!"

Everyone turned to look in their direction, and were delighted to see Wu Qiu had successfully obtained the item. However, at that moment, Wu Qiu suddenly sensed a danger approaching.

Turning around, he saw Tianli holding the Demon Sword and looking at him. Their power was very unstable; clearly, if they wanted to exist in this world, and within the bounds of the Heavenly Dao, they had to suppress their power. Otherwise, with their combined strength, they could easily annihilate everyone present.

"Tianli, listen to me! You are not our enemy, you are a hero of this world! The regional guardian will not..."

Wu Qiu tried to persuade Tianli, since she wasn't an enemy. But it was clear Tianli wouldn't listen, and she was furious about having her things stolen; she was now glaring at Wu Qiu with rage in her eyes.

"Raising the demonic sword and bringing it down, Wu Qiu felt the threat of death. His demonic energy surged as he tried to resist, but he couldn't move at all."

"That demonic sword has too much suppressive power."

Wu Qiu felt a sense of foreboding. At that moment, Feng Shan Jueyun used chains to block Wu Qiu, trying to pull him over. But as soon as he reached Wu Qiu's side, the chains were shattered by the power of the demonic sword.

Just as Wu Qiu was about to die on the spot, Ying's figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Her power erupted, and Fenghen blocked the demonic sword in an instant.

But it was clear that Ying didn't have the power to deal with Tianli yet, let alone the Demon Sword. So, Ying crashed directly into Wu Qiu, carrying him away as a streak of light before slamming heavily to the ground.

In mid-air, Wu Qiu held Ying, trying to stay behind her. Ying, however, was trying to cushion the impact for Wu Qiu, but as soon as she made that move, Wu Qiu held her even tighter.

"Forget about all that, the important thing is to mitigate the impact."

As he spoke, demonic wings enveloped them from behind, and with a surge of power, they landed on the ground.

The powerful impact nearly made them both vomit blood, and Wu Qiu felt as if his bones were about to shatter. However, it didn't matter, since he could repair himself.

But as the power of the demonic sword spread throughout his body, Wu Qiu felt a sudden daze, and the next second, his body went limp and he fainted.

In his last moments before falling into a coma, Wu Qiu saw Ying, who was severely injured and staggering to her feet, and a huge black mist descending from the sky.

Wu Qiu didn't know what happened next because he was unconscious. The impact itself wasn't a big deal, but the power of the demonic sword spread throughout his body, and Wu Qiu felt completely disoriented.

Chapter 476: Crushing Defeat

The sound of hurried footsteps rang out. Ying's face was pale, blood was flowing from her forehead, and her breath was weak. She was running on her back through the rugged mountains.

Wu Qiu had already fainted by this point. There was nothing he could do; the weakest beings in that battle were all demon gods, and he was no match for them. However, he still clutched the eyeball tightly in his hand.

This was the result of everyone's efforts. In that battle, there were more than thirty demons outside, including the original demons and the demons they brought.

More than thirty! What does that even mean? It's only thanks to Zhongli that this happened; anyone else would have been dead long ago. Zhongli fought over thirty demons alone and didn't fall behind, but he definitely didn't have the strength to help them anymore.

The remaining demon gods were stopped by Liu and Cang Yu. Feng Shan Jue Yun Yao Ye Zhi Tong was 95% activated, and he also had the strength of a demon god, but unfortunately, he went mad.

It's a miracle that all the demons over there are now tied down. Keep in mind that besides Ying and the uncontrollable Fengshan Jueyun, they only have three other demons on their side: Liu, Cangyu, and Morax.

And on the other side? There were almost fifty of them in total, and they held on despite that. This shows that they were all fighting desperately, all to let Wu Qiu escape.

But they truly no longer had the strength to uphold justice, so...

Suddenly, a burst of power erupted behind him, and Tianli, wielding the demonic sword, soared into the sky. Looking at Ying over there, he raised his hand, and the demonic sword unleashed a tremendous force, instantly covering the sky with black demonic energy, shooting upwards.

"Mortals! Do you really think you can defy me?!"
