The pursuers, who had only exhausted their last bit of soul power and had not yet reached the ninth rank, posed no threat to Danyangzi and Chili. Seeing Chili charge ahead, Danyangzi brandished his spear and rushed forward to meet them.
In an instant, the pursuers, who had materialized, were swiftly and cleanly dealt with by Akari and Danyoko.
Danyangzi clenched his fist, which transformed into a golden bolt of lightning. He unleashed a spear that struck the ranks of soldiers from the sky, obliterating the souls of a small group of pursuers and causing them to vanish completely.
With a few quick movements, Chi Li dispelled the pursuing immortals one after another as her blade fell.
As their numbers dwindled, Danyangzi and Chili finally managed to eliminate the minions after the last pursuer vanished in a speck of light, having expended some of their energy.
The five ninth-tier immortals who had been in the back row were eyeing Danyangzi and Chili with predatory intent. The weapons in their hands were already gleaming coldly, eager to cut off Danyangzi's head.
Danyangzi and Chili stood side by side, their eyes sharp as they stared at the five ninth-tier immortals.
The two chose to strike first. Danyangzi threw his spear, aiming straight for a ninth-level immortal in the center. Just as the spear was about to pierce him, Danyangzi suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed the spear.
The spear swept across, forcing back five ninth-tier immortals. Golden lightning followed the sweep, instantly engulfing them.
The five ninth-tier immortals who were merely souls posed little threat to Danyangzi and Chili. However, eliminating the minions had taken some effort, so they still needed to be more careful.
A crimson shadow appeared behind the Five Immortals, and Chi Li swiftly slashed at their backs with two short swords.
Danyoko recognized this move; Akari had used it on him during their first encounter. It was incredibly fast, and Danyoko was lucky he hadn't been careless, or he would have been finished if he had been hit.
Chili's attack was very effective; all five ninth-level immortals suffered severe injuries, and their once robust figures were now somewhat diminished.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Danyangzi launched an attack, golden lightning crackling around the spear in his hand as he swiftly made his move.
"Dream - Golden Thunder - Exploding Cloud!!"
In an instant, Danyangzi unleashed a golden thundercloud that swept over the five ninth-tier immortals. The ninth-tier immortals, enveloped by the thundercloud, endured a lightning strike even more intense than when Danyangzi had launched his surprise attack earlier.
Akari held her twin swords in a cross shape in front of her chest. A blood-red demonic shadow condensed behind her. As the thunderclouds dissipated, the demonic shadow that had just condensed behind Akari immediately pushed out the twin swords in front of her chest.
An enormous cross-shaped slash struck the five ninth-tier immortals who were paralyzed by the thundercloud attack. Danyangzi initially attacked the ninth-tier immortal in the middle. Although the sweeping attack did not cause any damage, he secretly applied the [Thunder Weakness] effect to the ninth-tier immortal in the middle.
Having little power to begin with, and bombarded relentlessly by these attacks, the middle-level ninth-tier immortal dissipated under Chi Li's final blow, and the remaining four ninth-tier immortals were also in poor condition.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Three ninth-tier immortals transferred their last bit of soul power to one ninth-tier immortal, instantly giving this immortal the strength of two ninth-tier immortals.
Chili retreated to Danyangzi's side. Both of them felt the oppressive fluctuations emanating from the only remaining ninth-level immortal. These fluctuations transformed into tangible air waves that blew against Danyangzi and Chili's robes.
Danyangzi and Chili exchanged a glance, and before the Ninth-Rank Immortal who had merged with the strength of the other three Ninth-Rank Immortals could adapt, they decided to strike again!
"Crimson Night Storm!!"
Chili flew rapidly around the last ninth-tier immortal, his twin blades slashing wildly at the immortal's body. The blood-red tornadoes created by his spinning flight were awe-inspiring.
Danyangzi didn't realize that Chili had an even stronger killing move hidden; he had kept one up his sleeve beforehand.
There's no need to keep it anymore.
Danyangzi slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his resolute golden eyes were now enveloped in golden lightning, and the white wings on his back were also wrapped in golden lightning and turned into golden wings.
Golden lightning flashed around him, and Danyangzi twirled his spear before suddenly throwing it out.
"Nine Heavens, Cloud Thunder, Golden Calamity!!!"
In an instant, a blood-red storm and golden lightning intertwined. Dan Yangzi flashed in front of the Ninth-Rank Immortal and pierced his heart with his spear. Muffled thunder roared inside the Ninth-Rank Immortal's body, and lightning shattered his heart.
Chili also flashed behind the Ninth-Rank Immortal, crossed her twin swords, and instantly beheaded the Ninth-Rank Immortal.
The two gave the ninth-tier immortal, who had merged with the power, no time to catch his breath. Their clean and decisive ultimate killing moves once again annihilated the ninth-tier immortal in the cold, soul-devouring lake.
The ninth-tier immortal turned into specks of light and quickly dissipated. Danyangzi and Chili looked at each other, staring at one another.
Akari sheathed her Bloodstained Azure Blade, flew to Danyangzi's side, pointed her jade finger at Danyangzi's chest and said, "Well done, you still have such a powerful move left!"
Danyangzi remained silent, quietly sheathing his spear and staring intently at the demon girl before him.
Seeing that Danyoko remained silent and her gaze towards him held an indescribable ambiguity, Akari was about to retreat when Danyoko grabbed her hand and pulled her into her arms.
Danyoko's heart pounded wildly. He slowly moved closer to Akari's pink lips. Akari realized what Danyoko wanted to do, so she struggled desperately.
Neither of them used their internal strength; relying solely on brute force, Akari couldn't break free. She could only turn her head away, her voice soft and sweet as she said, "No, don't do this..."
Danyangzi stopped what he was doing, and his gaze toward Chili became even more sincere.
Are you worried about race?
Akari blinked her beautiful blood-red eyes, shook her head and laughed, "Who cares about those things? I'm just not mentally prepared yet."
Danyangzi scratched his head sheepishly, thinking that Akari was worried about the issue of his own race.
But that also means!!
He held his breath and gently turned Akari's small face toward him. Akari knew she couldn't escape and didn't really want to.
Seeing Akari slowly close her eyes, Danyoko's heart beat even faster. He slowly leaned in and pressed his lips to Akari's thin lips.
Akari was held in Danyoko's arms, and with nowhere else to put her hands, she could only grab Danyoko's clothes, feeling the stimulating sensation brought to her by the long kiss.
Danyangzi and Akari held hands and obtained the Holy Spirit Ice Soul, which emitted a cold, icy blue light, from the ruins. After obtaining the Holy Spirit Ice Soul from the ruins at the bottom of the lake, Danyangzi and Akari left the frozen lake.
The two admired the two precious materials by the frozen lake. Danyangzi held a black gold ore in his hand, which emitted black, ethereal flames that did not burn the hand holding it.
In Akari's hand floated the Holy Spirit Ice Soul, which was filled with a holy aura. It was shaped like a small ice-blue crystal tower and spun around in Akari's hand.
The two materials immediately exhibited a repulsive phenomenon as soon as they came close together. The black flames and the ice energy collided, neither giving way to the other, constantly eroding each other and being eroded by the other.
It's hard to believe what kind of confidence Danyangzi and Chili had in fusing and forging these two materials.
