Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

```

"Demi-human, today we shall fight a fair battle to determine both the victor and matters of life and death!"

"Daoist Lin Luo, let's strike together, don't worry. I'll take the lead; this demon won't be able to cross the line!"

Yi Chen, who had faced mighty enemies in fair battles numerous times before, suddenly manifested the Holy Halberd in his hand. Ignoring his own injuries, he furiously attacked towards the direction of the Demi-human Mu He. The purple Dao domain frantically drew in the strange forces between heaven and earth to replenish his consumption, but it was still a deficit.

However, Yi Chen was not panicked at all; he still had a trump card.

That was his Pure Yang Primordial Spirit!

Boom!

Bang!

Yi Chen and the purple crystal shadow were sent flying back once more.

Lin Luo, with her purple hair and eyes, floated behind Yi Chen's broad figure, her heart stirred by towering waves.

Too terrifying.

This Hidden Dragon Taoist was just too tough; every time he fell, he would rise again with the tenacity of a cockroach, repeatedly fulfilling his promise by keeping her untouched from the purple crystal shadow, even catching it off guard and stabbing back.

Compared to the fearsome Daoist before her, though her offensive power was not lacking, when it came to the strength of the physical body, she felt as fragile as a thin-shelled chicken.

If it were not for Yi Chen's reckless consumption of the Demi-human's substantial demonic power, with her cultivation, she would certainly not be the match for this demon and could only flee in utter defeat.

All this, because the Demi-human before her was already half-stepping into the embryonic realm of Dao Mastery, opening up half a realm of difference with a late-stage Daoist.

And they were planning to kill this demon.

"Hidden Dragon Taoist, are... are you still able to continue?" Lin Luo asked hesitantly.

If it weren't for Yi Chen taking the lead, she'd lose half her life if the Demi-human caught her off guard. Although she could escape due to her mastery over the spatial Dao, what would be the point?

She could still escape with Yi Chen if they stopped now, but she wasn't confident about continuing the battle.

Chuk, to actually ask if this Daoist could continue?

A man can never say he can't!

Blood trickled down, the wind grew fiercer, and the Daoist's eyes shone with even greater dominance!

Yi Chen stood tall, with the halberd ready for another battle!

He had to keep the little missy behind him steady. On the surface, it looked like he was cleaning up the messes of Lin Luo and Great Qin – but in reality, hadn't Lin Luo been risking her life along with him all this while? Wasn't she essentially working for him?

This is the charm of co-working comrades~

He had to give his teammates confidence to play out this game; otherwise, what was the point of using the Soul Ignition Technique?

"Taoist, you're courting death!"

"Even if it costs me the foundation of my very source, I will kill you both today!" At this moment, Mu He, thanks to Yi Chen, was adorned in the war-damaged version of her thick, exquisite purple crystal armor. She was beyond furious.

Yet she did not attempt to flee.

As much as Yi Chen wanted to slaughter her, wasn't she equally eager to sacrifice Yi Chen and Lin Luo? This was mutual confrontation~

Despite being sneak attacked earlier and losing the upper hand, she believed the advantage was hers, for she too held a trump card.

The two, each harboring their own schemes, plotted against each other, each craving to plunder everything from the other.

In a moment of trance, Mu He even felt the Daoist before her was a special kind of Purple Crystal Demi-human.

Such a person's fear and soul would surely be of great interest to His Majesty Asna.

After a few more exchanges, Yi Chen knew that the final battle was imminent.

His physical body was nearly at its limit.

He heard the cries of his flesh; if it weren't for the governance of the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, his body would have likely disintegrated by now.

It was at this moment, between the grindstone of life and death, that he caught a glimmer of enlightenment within his heart.

The ultimate technique is always realized amidst life and death!

Back when he faced the Rakshasa King, amidst the infinite dark mazes, he had realized half of the Sky-reaching Move.

The first half of this move was based on swift and decisive disillusionment, serving as a guiding move. Its offensive capability was simply an add-on, not perfect – merely on par with the fifth halberd technique, Devour Heaven and Earth, and only suited for unique scenarios.

And just now, in the midst of frenzied combat, as he hovered between life and death, feeling his flesh's lament and the stench of death emanating from his body, he had fully extrapolated the latter half of the Sky-reaching Move.

"Ha ha, Taoist, you're about to break down, aren't you? The great power of His Majesty is not something you can comprehend."

"That whore by your side might still have a chance to flee, but today you are doomed beyond doubt. This is the price you pay for offending me."

Mu He closed her eyes, reflected for a moment and then began to laugh crazily.

"You had no idea, did you? The entire foundation of Zeyang Royal Palace has long been permeated with my vast dark essence."

"You wish to kill me, but have you thought that I yearn to slay you as well? Truly, man's calculations are no match for heaven's!"

"How laughable that today, two great prodigies will perish at my hands!"

"Evil Blade of the Underworld! Slash!"

With a fierce shout from Mu He, boundless evil aura emerged from the depths of the Underground Palace. The dark rock layers on the ground rapidly faded, becoming desolate.

Immense evil power converged into a dark nefarious blade, instantly targeting Yi Chen and Lin Luo. The shadow of death circulated around Lin Luo's heart.

Simultaneously, Yi Chen's cheerful voice echoed over Zeyang City.

"I, have realized it!"

"My halberd points, and that is the divine punishment; the light of Pure Yang pierces the fog, showing the way, the divine punishment befalls, and I am the divine punishment!"

Countless boulders and rocky materials floated up into the sky. At that critical moment, Yi Chen's figure flashed, positioning himself before Lin Luo.

The feeling of safety descended once again, as Lin Luo's eyes beheld the Daoist's broad and sturdy back.

A voice transmission then resonated within Lin Luo's heart!
