The figure slowly opened its eyes.
Those scarlet eyes stared intently at the two of them like demons.
Hair that looked as if it had been soaked in blood outlined a face that resembled both Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing.
She was still wearing those skull earrings.
Two white horns pierced the skin from the forehead, and several red lines, like cracks, spread from the base of the two horns across the entire forehead.
This transformed what was originally a handsome face into something resembling a demon.
The body was naked, with the lower body covered by a layer of bone armor, and the skin of the person was an unnatural red.
His body was covered in clearly visible blue veins, as if he had just been scalded by boiling water.
He raised the still-burning [Fire-Encased Blade] in his hand, its smooth blade reflecting his face.
The Demon Eye Twins, and the extraordinary individual Ye Qing, have arrived!
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, put down the knife in his hand, looked at the two of them, and slowly spoke:
"Very good...you did a very good job!"
His voice sounded like a combination of Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing speaking at the same time, yet it exerted an almost suffocating pressure on the two of them.
Hera carefully smelled the other party's aura. Not only were there the scents of Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing, but there was also an extremely strong aura of a different species, which was stronger than the combined scents of the two of them.
More importantly, the opponent's current realm has reached the terrifying peak of "transcendent"!
Hera couldn't understand how a "royal teacher" and a "high-ranking" could merge into a monster at the "transcendent" level.
After sensing the energy remaining in her body, Hera began to feel afraid.
He hadn't eaten high-energy food in a long time, and the energy he had left was simply not enough to defeat an opponent at the peak of the "Transcendent" level.
Xinglan felt equally desperate at this moment. The moment she saw Ye Qing, she knew that even at her peak, she could not defeat him.
Xinglan looked at Hera, wondering if she could try throwing her off the building so she could run away.
However, thinking of the hordes of alien creatures downstairs, Xinglan gave up the idea.
He didn't have much strength left and couldn't possibly fly away with Hera. An unprecedented despair enveloped his heart.
Ye Qing waved his hands and feet as if getting used to it, and then raised his hand upwards, and a huge skeletal arm rose from the ground.
He manipulated the skeletal hand to move slowly, completely ignoring the two people in front of him.
Xinglan squatted on the ground, her mind racing with solutions, much like Hera.
In the end, Xinglan decided to take a gamble and threw Hera off the building.
If Hera were to fall onto the spider silk, and given that the highest level of the alien species is only at the "City Destroyer" level, she might still have a chance to survive.
But if we stay here, Ye Qing will definitely kill us.
Having made up her mind, Xinglan grabbed Hera and ran desperately toward the window in the stairwell outside the door.
Hera was taken aback at first, but when she saw the direction Xinglan was running, she understood her intention.
However, Hera wanted to take Starblue with her when she jumped.
Just as they arrived at the door.
Whoosh—!
A scorching shark fin-shaped sword aura blocked their path.
Even though the person was still a meter away, Xinglan felt her face burning, and a few strands of her hair were even singed.
Hera, who had been caught, stopped abruptly and pulled Xinglan back.
Hera believed that if she touched that flame, she would be burned to ashes within ten seconds.
Hera shielded Xinglan behind her, while two blood-stained bone whips swayed slightly in front of her.
There is no way to retreat now; we have no choice but to fight.
Having fully adapted, Ye Qing gripped the knife with both hands and raised it in front of him. Then, a dark purple killing intent surged from his body like waves.
The flames on the blade were instantly dyed dark purple, transforming into a burning killing intent.
"Hera, you can't beat him, you shouldn't..."
Before Xinglan could finish speaking, Hera rushed forward and swung two bone whips at Ye Qing.
The two bone whips attacked Ye Qing from both sides, but he showed no intention of dodging.
Slide! Slide!
Two blades of light, burning with murderous intent, instantly swung out from Ye Qing's sides.
The dark purple blade, nearly a meter wide and two meters long, easily shredded Hera's blood-covered bone whip.
Before Hera could react, Ye Qing suddenly appeared in front of her.
He slashed straight down with the blade.
The cut that should have cleaved Hera in two only severed one of her arms.
The severed arm burned to ashes in an instant, and Hera hurriedly cut off the still-burning wound.
Xinglan grabbed Hera and pulled her away.
"Thank goodness, if it weren't for me, you might have been cut in half by him."
Xinglan breathed heavily, gripping the straight knife tightly with both hands.
"Hera, I'm still your senior! Even if I can't protect you, I should still fight alongside you!"
Her severed arm regenerated instantly, a glint of light flashed in Hera's eyes, and she nodded heavily at Xinglan.
"Hehe, you two have such a good relationship. I wish this kind of affection was on Ye Yiqing..."
As he spoke, Ye Qing gripped the knife in his hand tightly, and the killing intent burning on the blade intensified.
He unleashed several slashes at the two men in an instant, the sword energy filled with murderous intent rushing towards them.
The two ran off in opposite directions.
The sword energies were scattered and covered a wide area. Even though the two were separated, many sword energies were still aimed at them.
Hera increased her speed, using her extremely fast reaction time and superb agility to dodge time and time again.
