Shangguan Xi was the weakest among them, and was ambushed after only a few moves. She tried her best to dodge, but was unexpectedly injured. Just as the men in black knocked Shangguan Xi to the ground and were about to press their advantage, Qi Guze made a move and killed some of the men in black.

"You're injured!" Qi Guze became uneasy when he saw Shangguan Qi bleeding more and more. If Shangguan Qi's wound wasn't treated quickly, it would fester and become more and more ulcerated.

"We must kill these men in black as soon as possible!"

Upon seeing that someone was injured, none of them dared to let their guard down. They worked even harder and fought side by side. Xu Yuehuai fought with all her might while trying every possible countermeasure.

There were countless men in black, clearly determined to kill them. Even with their superior martial arts skills, they were no match for their numbers, and the group gradually began to feel overwhelmed.

Shi Mu's attacks were getting weaker and weaker, and he was almost exhausted. He was forcibly holding on to fight back. "God, why are there still so many men in black? How many men in black have they prepared to deal with us?"

They were almost collapsing when Xu Yuehuai realized that he couldn't expend too much energy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to save the demon race.

She urgently reminded everyone that they must deal with the men in black as soon as possible, and her voice became serious, "We don't have time. If we don't rush over, the barrier will open soon, and we will all be trapped here to die."

After killing many of the men in black, the men in black then increased their numbers to deal with them, having come prepared long ago.

"Damn it, we can't shake off these men in black!"

The battle had dragged on for too long, and everyone could only defend. There were too many enemies, and they were unable to break free.

Nangong Yu stepped forward and said, “Some of us are already injured. If we continue to drag this out, we may not be able to keep up. You go first, I will stay and deal with them.”

With a determined look in his eyes, he stood in front of them, wanting to fight these men in black alone and buy time for everyone.

Xu Yuehuai refused, busy fighting and taking care of Nangong Yu, "No, we should all go together."

"I'm stronger than you. I'll protect you. After I kill them, I'll join you. There's no time!"

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Nangong Yu urgently urged everyone to protect her.

"But……"

Xu Yuehuai refused no matter what. They had come together, so how could she leave Nangong Yu behind alone?

“Nangong Yu’s cultivation is quite impressive. It’s only a matter of time before these men in black are gone. Let’s hurry, or it will be too late.”

Qi Guze realized that dealing with these men in black would be too time-consuming, so he advised Xu Yuehuai to take his men away as soon as possible.

In order to save the demon race, Xu Yuehuai had no choice but to find a way to escape. She specifically instructed, "You must be careful, Nangong Yu. Find us as soon as possible."

"None of you are leaving. Today is your death day!"

The men in black saw that Xu Yuehuai and his group wanted to leave, so they gave chase.

"With me here, no one can touch them!"

Nangong Yu fought desperately, using his powerful swordsmanship to protect them. Under Nangong Yu's cover, Qi Guze led his group away from there as quickly as possible, leaving the men in black to be dealt with by Nangong Yu.

The group fled and finally shook off the men in black, but Nangong Yu was temporarily entangled by them and unable to escape.

After going through countless hardships, the group was finally able to escape and breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could even catch his breath, he noticed that Shangguan Xi's face was growing paler and paler.

Xu Yuehuai realized that something was wrong with Shangguan Xi and said worriedly, "This is bad. Third Senior Sister's injuries are getting worse. If they are not treated, the wounds will fester."

"You all hurry up and save the demon race. Don't worry about me. I'm not worth your time."

Shangguan Xi was injured by the sword energy and was seriously wounded, but she did not want to involve them and asked them to leave.

With Shangguan Xi about to be injured, Xu Yuehuai and the others were at a loss for what to do. Just then, Ying Ziping took out the corresponding medicine, "I have a Heart-Protecting Pill with me. Take it. It is a rare treasure that our Ying family has only seen once in a hundred years. It will heal your wound."

"It actually healed!"

After taking the pill, Shangguan Xi's wounds healed rapidly; the pill was unexpectedly very effective.

Everyone was quite shocked. Shangguan Qi had fully recovered and thanked them.

"Thank you, Young Master Ying."

Xu Yuehuai suddenly realized that this person was not an enemy and began to change her opinion of him, but she still had some doubts. "He really fought alongside us just now, fighting against our families. What was the meaning behind that?"

"Didn't I tell you I'm a really good person? Now you believe me, right?"

Ying Ziping's face clearly showed that he was a great person, and he couldn't wait to prove it with his actions.

Ying Ziping had just gone through thick and thin with them, so for the time being, Xu Yuehuai and the others believed that he had no ill intentions.

Ying Ziping didn't explain much, changed the subject, and suddenly became tense, "Stop talking nonsense, I'll lead you to the place where the demons are trapped, it will be too late if we're late."

He calculated that the time was right and the opportunity was ripe; he had to rescue the demon race as soon as possible.

Led by Ying Ziping, they finally arrived at the barrier.

"This place has actually trapped so many demons!"

The scene before them was extremely shocking; many demons were imprisoned inside the barrier.

Those demons were all tortured and looked extremely painful.

Seeing their people being treated this way, the tree spirit cried and begged Xu Yuehuai, "Our demon race has always been peaceful and undisturbed by the world, you must save them!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely rescue the demon race," Xu Yuehuai reassured the tree spirit.

Upon seeing the strangers, the demons huddled together, extremely wary, as if keeping strangers at bay. Xu Yuehuai and his group then launched their attack.

"Don't worry, we're here to rescue you."

Xu Yuehuai explained his purpose, which made the demons lower their guard.

"If we want to save the demon race, we must open the barrier." Qi Guze was troubled when he saw the barrier in front of him. They tried to enter but found that their cultivation level clashed with the Ying family's barrier and they could not open it.

Ying Ziping smiled lightly, "Only I can open the Ying family's barrier. Leave this small matter to me."

As expected, Ying Ziping knew how to open the barrier. His cultivation technique was perfectly integrated with the Ying family's barrier, and he opened it very quickly.

"It's really open." Xu Yuehuai was overjoyed to see the barrier finally open and quickly led the group to rescue the demon race.

"We've come to rescue you, and you can all regain your freedom."
