Bai Di's soul trembled violently, and Bai Yanfeng's face twisted and deformed like melting wax.

"Wh...what do you mean by your formation?" Her voice shrill and distorted. "This is clearly ours..."

She abruptly turned to the demon man beside her, her soul swelling with rage: "Didn't you say this formation was foolproof? Didn't you say even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be at your mercy if they entered it?"

The demon man's face was ashen, and his well-defined fingers moved rapidly, forming hand seals.

The crimson runes danced at his fingertips, but they seemed to sink into the sea without causing the slightest fluctuation in the array.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He tried three different techniques to break the formation, but only received stronger backlashes from it.

"Oh no! The formation has really failed. We're trapped in a new formation."

He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood into his palm, and used Blood Escape—

The only option now is to leave this place immediately.

This Bai Ying can easily break through such a formation, and she also possesses such a terrifying killing weapon as the Killing Array. If he continues to stay here, he will surely die.

The moment the blood mist exploded, the demon's figure transformed into a streak of red light and shot towards the door.

However, just as he touched the threshold, the golden array suddenly lit up, violently bouncing him back.

"Bang!"

The demon man crashed heavily to the ground, his black robe ripped to shreds by the array's power, revealing a body covered in demonic runes. He touched his dented chest in disbelief: "My Blood Escape Technique... how could this be?!"

He suddenly looked up at Bai Ying.

"How did you manage to do that? I planned everything perfectly..."

"Did you plan everything perfectly?" Bai Ying's footsteps were like a death knell, each step causing golden ripples to spread across the ground.

She suddenly reached out, and golden lightning bolts shot out like serpents, precisely seizing the demon's throat.

"I, Bai Ying—" she said, her fingertips exerting force, the lightning transforming into tangible chains, "my greatest skill is breaking formations with formations."

The demon man's pupils constricted sharply: "So you knew from the beginning that this was a trap? Otherwise, you couldn't have broken through the formation so quickly."

"Of course." Bai Ying chuckled, dragon scales flying from her sleeves and swirling around her. "I started rewriting the formation the moment you all started peeking around outside the ancestral hall."

The white flute's spirit emitted a piercing shriek: "Impossible! You clearly..."

"You should have fallen for the trap?" Bai Ying suddenly tightened the chains. "Why do you think I would have come back with you?"

The Bai family is so heartless and ungrateful, how could she possibly come back?

She will come back, which can only mean that she will kill Bai Di!

Unexpectedly, she left behind a hidden danger: Bai Di was not dead! She even took over Bai Yanfeng's body.

But it doesn't matter, she should die now!

The demonic man suddenly sprang to his feet, his demonic runes glowing brightly beneath his tattered black robe. His hands transformed into sharp claws, their nails growing three inches long, and he lunged at Bai Ying with a stench of blood: "Die!"

"boom!"

The dragon scales collided with the demonic claws, the blinding light like the sun exploding, and the powerful shockwave hurled sand and gravel within a hundred meters into the sky.

The demon man's moves were extremely ruthless. Each strike was accompanied by a corrosive black mist, and wherever it passed, the air sizzled and burned, leaving charred marks on the ground.

The dragon scales on Bai Ying's body shimmered with a cold silver light; they were terrifying beings that could kill even a Nascent Soul cultivator with a single blow when their power was amplified.

At this moment, the dragon scales pierced through the demon man's body, but it was extremely strange—no blood flowed from the wound. Instead, dark demonic energy surged, and the wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had never been injured.

"Hahaha, I knew your dragon scales were powerful. But so what? I underestimated you, but you underestimated me too!"

The demon man's arrogant laughter echoed between heaven and earth. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and his figure transformed into a black beam of light, rushing towards Bai Ying with lightning speed. His fist, containing the power to destroy the world, slammed fiercely towards Bai Ying's body.

"Smack!"

At the critical moment, the Kongtong Seal shone with golden light, instantly transforming into a towering mountain that crashed down on the demon man.

"boom!"

A deafening roar shook the earth, sending dust billowing into the air.

The demon man was crushed flat, his entire body embedded in the ground, forming a huge crater.

However, the moment Bai Ying retracted the Kongtong Seal, a bizarre scene unfolded once again.

Amidst the surging demonic energy, the demon man slowly rose from the pit, his body completely unharmed, as if the heavy blow he had just suffered was nothing but an illusion.

Bai Ying frowned deeply, a sense of unprecedented gravity rising in his heart. The enemy before him seemed to be able to do nothing, no matter how many attacks he launched. This battle was far more difficult than he had imagined.

"Hahaha--"

A piercing laugh echoed through the smoke and dust, and the demon man's body, like flowing ink, slowly returned to human form from its flattened state. His twisted face was filled with a ferocious pleasure.

"I have cultivated the 'Mysterious Yin Undying Body' for over three hundred years," he said, cracking his newly grown neck, making a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound, "and with your meager skills..."

Before he finished speaking, his right arm suddenly swelled up, transforming into a tentacle covered in barbs that swept across the room.

Bai Ying quickly retreated three steps, her tentacles brushing past the tip of her nose before smashing the stone pillar behind her in half.

"Useless." The demon man chuckled sinisterly as he withdrew his tentacles. "No matter how many magical treasures you possess, they cannot harm me in the slightest."

The demonic energy around the demonic man suddenly froze, and his dark red pupils contracted violently.
