Meanwhile, Mikado Baiharu and the Mermaid Queen were pushed by a tremendous force for several miles before finally stopping.

The Mermaid Queen turned to walk away, but Mikado Baiqing grabbed her arm: "Where are you going?"

"How could I let Brother Zu risk his life alone while I try to survive by myself?" The Mermaid Queen said resolutely.

Mikado Hyoharu laughed: "Do you know that those two guys were both gods, their cultivation levels far surpassing yours? With your strength, going back would just be suicide, so why bother with this petty squabble?"

The Mermaid Queen said in a deep voice, "I naturally understand the gap, but I am good at providing various kinds of assistance, which can help Brother Zu and achieve a result greater than the sum of its parts."

"And even if we really can't win, it would be good to die together with Brother Zu."

After saying that, he ignored the other person's attempts to stop him and hurriedly ran back.

Mikado Baiqing remained where he was, his expression incredibly complicated. Why was that guy always able to win the hearts of so many women?

She stamped her foot, but had no choice but to follow.

Originally, she wanted to send the mermaid queen away so she could secretly go back and rescue people, but given the current situation, she could only take it one step at a time.

Meanwhile, Zu'an felt that the entire space was under Qin's iron claws. Since he couldn't avoid it, he decided to confront him head-on.

He drew his Tai'a sword and slashed out, clashing with the opponent's iron claws.

The opponent's flesh and blood body took the divine weapon head-on, and sparks actually flew out.

With a loud bang, the two men were forced back dozens of feet.

Qin hovered in the sky, his eyes fixed on the Tai'a sword in his hand: "Not bad."

Zu An frowned inwardly. The head-on clash just now seemed to be evenly matched on the surface, but he had the advantage of the divine artifact, and he also used the Taotie Devouring Heaven Technique to absorb the various energies that the opponent attacked. The opponent's strength was obviously above his own, even more powerful than Wei Yueyan, whom he had encountered before.

I don't know how the strength and realm of these gods are classified.

However, he was not flustered or afraid at all. After all, this was not the first time he had faced a stronger opponent while being weaker, and he had accumulated a wealth of experience over the years.

Ironically, it was because he recently gained control of the laws and authority of the cultivation world that he could easily crush his opponents in battle, and he almost forgot the passionate feeling he once had.

Just then, two figures ran over from afar: "Brother Zu, I'm here to help you!"

Hearing the Mermaid Queen's voice and seeing Mikado Byoharu following behind, Zuan was also a bit troubled. If they left first, it would be much easier for him to escape on his own.

Now that they're back, it seems the only option left is to fight to the death.

But he also knew that he couldn't blame her. A woman who would risk her life to be with him through thick and thin was something many men would beg for their whole lives.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of heroic spirit: "Very well, let's fight side by side!"

Although the enemy is stronger, it is not impossible to defeat them.

"You mere ants, yet you have such a big mouth." A sinister voice rang out, and the rustling sound of snakes rubbing against tree branches could be heard all around.

Zuan and the others' expressions changed slightly. Looking up, they saw that the serpentine body of the god called Drum had almost covered the entire forest. There were snakes on almost every tree, while his upper body was suspended in mid-air, looking down at them from above.

There was an inexplicable pressure in the entire space, which made the faces of the three people from Zuan turn pale involuntarily.

It wasn't just a simple crushing of strength and realm; it seemed to also involve a mysterious divine power crushing mortals.

Zu An's heart sank. If it were only Qin, even if the other party was a god, he would have a certain degree of confidence.

However, if an even stronger drum is added, even if all the cards are played, the chances of winning are slim.

The best outcome would be mutual destruction, to see if they could protect Ling'er and the Mermaid Queen and ensure their survival.

At this moment, the Mermaid Queen was also deep in thought. In the current situation, there was probably no chance of survival. She would try to find an opportunity to activate the forbidden technique of the progenitor later to see if she could buy a chance for her elder brother Zu.

At this moment, Mikado Baiqing was also secretly pondering how to save people without Zuan's knowledge. It was really giving him a headache.

"But this guy, who's just showing off his family background and bloodline, actually thinks he's a god?" A burst of laughter came from afar.

As they were talking, a figure strode over from a distance. The surrounding snakes tried to stop him, but he punched them open with a single punch, creating a bloody hole.

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, Zu'an was both surprised and delighted: "Brother Yi, what are you doing here?"

Yi cupped his hands in greeting, his gaze lingering on the mermaid queen for a moment before he quickly regained his composure: "I was tracking the pig's spirit and happened to be in this vicinity when I sensed that the jade pendant I gave you had broken nearby, so I came to check on the situation."

Upon hearing this, Zu An reached into his robes and pulled out a broken jade pendant. It turned out that during his exchange with Qin, he hadn't completely neutralized the opponent's powerful energy, and a small portion of it had dissipated into his body.

Although his powerful physique could withstand it, the jade given to him by Yi was clearly not enough.

"Yi?" Gu's face darkened, clearly recognizing the other party; this matter was becoming somewhat troublesome.

"You're getting worse with age. You're supposed to be a god, why are you bullying a few mortals?" Yi stood there casually, his tone quite sarcastic.

"Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself," Gu chuckled. "I heard you're engaged to the Holy Maiden of the Chang Clan. How come your fiancée is with another man instead?"

Upon hearing his words, Yi's expression changed, and he looked at the mermaid queen beside him: "Are you Chang'e?"
