Sun Hai slipped into the darkness, while the other three dodged in different directions.

Bang!

The walls, along with half of the roof, were shattered by the sword energy, leaving half the room exposed to the night sky.

Ignoring the group, Ye Qing swung his sword again, slashing them against the edge of the building, which then reformed into a dark purple wall of flames.

Liu Xiaogang glanced at them sideways and clicked his tongue. Their combat awareness was indeed impressive; they even knew to block their movement to prevent them from escaping.

Several more sword energies and blade lights came slashing down, and Ye Qing, like a tireless machine, kept launching attacks at them.

All three tried desperately to dodge, making it difficult to get close.

Ye Qing's shadow began to wriggle, and Sun Hai's figure appeared silently, slashing a sickle at Ye Qing's neck without a sound.

Ye Qing brandished the blade, seeing his own demonic reflection and Sun Hai behind him.

His gaze sharpened, and sharp bone spurs grew from his back. Sun Hai's figure once again vanished into the darkness, disappearing into the shadows.

But Ye Qing seemed to know Sun Hai's abilities very well, and released lasers at his own shadow.

The laser illuminated the shadow, and Sun Hai raised his sickle to shield himself.

Sizzle—!

The scorching laser struck the blade of the sickle, and was reflected to both sides by the smooth blade.

Sun Hai's body was forced backward by the powerful laser beam, and his black scythe began to slowly turn red due to the high temperature.

He kept looking around, but thanks to Ye Qing's attack, which was entirely covered in fire, the surroundings were illuminated by the raging flames, leaving no dark places and not even a shadow.

Taking advantage of the moment when Ye Qing was not attacking, Liu Xiaogang was the first to approach him and thrust his spear directly into his eye socket.

The laser beam dissipated instantly, and Ye Qing slashed at the spear at almost the same moment.

The sound of metal clashing rang out as the blade and spear tip collided precisely. Ye Qing increased the force in his hand, flicking the spear forward and aiming it at Liu Xiaogang, then slashing straight down.

Liu Xiaogang immediately held his spear in front of him and blocked the blade in front of him.

[Black Crow] was flung away by Sun Hai and spun towards Ye Qing.

A thick, spine-like bone whip rose from the ground and swung violently, sending a scythe flying out of the building.

Sun Hai had already arrived beside Ye Qing.

With a swift movement of his hand, the Black Crow, which had already flown away, returned rapidly to his hand and slashed at Ye Qing's neck once more.

A pair of lasers shot out, forcing Liu Xiaogang, who was holding Ye Qing back, to dodge.

Ye Qing quickly turned her head and stretched out her arm to shield her neck.

Ye Qing's left hand was easily severed by the sharp scythe, and he fired another laser to force Sun Hai back.

Seeing Ye Qing's hand being severed, Xing Lan's face lit up with joy. For a swordsman, losing an arm is like losing half his life, which increases their chances of winning.

Ye Qing looked at her empty arm and bent down in pain.

But then the skull earrings on her ears emitted a faint glow, and her arm, which had fallen to the ground, quickly withered.

The severed hand suddenly grew back from the wound.

The four of them were startled at the same time, and Sun Hai also recognized the earrings on their ears.

"【The Curse of Immortality】..."

Ye Qing roared and unleashed a flurry of attacks on the group.

Sword energy, bone spikes, lasers, and blade light—a barrage of attacks nearly covered the entire floor.

The wounds on their bodies began to accumulate, and the intense pain from the burns slowed their movements.

On the contrary, the flames on Hera's body grew smaller and smaller, and the speed remained unchanged from beginning to end. But only Hera herself knew that the little energy left in her body was being consumed frantically.

We can't delay any longer!

With that thought in mind, Hera found a direction where the attacks were relatively weak and rushed towards it without hesitation.

The flying sword energy severed her arm, and her body grew back and then decayed again, but her speed remained unchanged.

Once inside the attack range of the bone whip, it swiftly swung the four thin, long, and short, blood-red whips behind it, aiming for Ye Qing's body.

*Pfft!*

Ye Qing's abdomen was pierced by the bone whip, and a mouthful of blood flowed from his mouth. Then Hera grabbed him and stabbed the bone blade made of flesh and blood into Ye Qing's arm that was holding the knife. She ran forward wildly, making him unable to react.

"Let go of me!"

Ye Qing grabbed Hera's hair, trying to make her let go, but Hera held on tightly and even bit Ye Qing's shoulder.

Xinglan gripped her knife and sprinted towards the two of them. This was a golden opportunity that Hera had risked her life to create, and she absolutely couldn't miss it!

He suddenly leaped towards the person, and with all his might, swung a faint crescent-shaped sword at Ye Qing's neck.

The moment he was struck, a layer of bone protected his neck, and the star-blue blade became stuck in the bone, unable to cut any further.

But Xinglan still didn't let go, her whole body suspended in the air, her hands constantly exerting force to cut the knife in.

Since Ye Qing rushed to protect his neck, it means that as long as his head is cut off, he will die.

Despite her efforts, Xinglan, whose strength was already depleted, could not get the blade stuck in her bones.

"Hold on, I'm coming right away!"

On the other side, Liu Xiaogang passed through the wall of fire, grabbed the end of his spear, and came to Xinglan's side, striking Xinglan's blade with his spear.

Click—

The bones shattered instantly, and the blade sliced ​​through the bones, touching Ye Qing's fragile neck.

"roar--!"

A roar like that of a wild beast came from Ye Qing's mouth, and Sun Hai, who had just arrived, immediately realized that something was wrong.

Using its beak to bite [Black Crow], it quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xinglan and Liu Xiaogang by the back of their collars, and pulled them back.

The moment he withdrew, countless bone spurs burst forth from Ye Qing's body, making him look like a white sea urchin, enveloped in bone spurs.

Hera, who was holding Ye Qing, was instantly stabbed into a bloody pulp.

Sun Hai felt a chill run down his spine. This reckless attack method—if he had been even a fraction slower, Liu Xiaogang and Xing Lan would probably have been turned into mincemeat like Hera. But Hera had regenerative abilities, while the two of them did not.

A bone spike transformed into a skeletal hand, grabbed Hera, who was no longer recognizable as human, pulled her out of the spike, and tossed her aside.

Hera!

Xinglan hurriedly ran towards Hera. At the same time, all the bone spurs on Ye Qing's body turned into ashes, revealing his true form.

At this moment, he was covered in blood, from the cut on his neck, the wounds on his shoulders and abdomen inflicted by Hera, but the most blood was from the wounds caused by the bone spurs he had just created.

The skull earrings glowed, and before the wounds could heal, Ye Qing angrily slashed a sword aura towards Hera.

Xinglan quickly hugged Hera, who had not yet recovered, and rolled to the side to avoid her.

Ye Qing stomped his foot, and countless giant skeletal arms reached out to grab Liu Xiaogang and Sun Hai.

The person hurriedly tried to dodge, but was still restrained.

Ye Qing sheathed the blade and lowered his body into a striking stance.

The next moment, with a flash of purple light, Ye Qing used Iaijutsu to strike Xing Lan like a bolt of lightning.
