The all-encompassing purple light finally clashed with the blood-red mountain range.
The purple light was like a sword. It carried with it an aura that seemed to be able to tear the heavens and earth apart. It continuously tore at the blood-red mountain range, causing the mountain range to darken.
However, at this moment...
A ball of fire began to appear between the purple light and the blood-red mountain range.
It was a ball of fire that was as bright as the sun. It was also a ball of fire that could burn everything. The blood-red mountain range seemed to be ignited at this moment. The rocks, trees, and rivers had all turned into a sea of fire.
The purple light suppressed the ball of fire. The purple light splashed in the flames.
At a glance, it seemed to have a huge advantage. However, at some point in time, the flames began to slowly devour the purple light. Bit by bit...
The speed of the devouring was not fast. However, as the flames continued to grow, the speed of the devouring became faster and faster. In the end, it became visible to the naked eye.
The blood-red mountain range had completely disappeared. However, it left behind a ball of fire. A ball of fire that continuously devoured the purple light...
The melodious sound of the flute reverberated through the air.
In reality, when the ball of fire appeared, the flute music had never stopped. It was a desolate sound. It was also a sorrowful sound that could burn everything.
It was just like the memory in the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan.
It was filled with sorrow.
Finally, the purple light disappeared. The flute music also disappeared. All that was left was a slowly shrinking ball of fire. Because, there was no more purple light for it to devour.
A light breeze blew past, carrying with it specks of yellow sand.
The fire was extinguished.
It looked as if it had never appeared. The air was still air, and the wind was still slightly cold. However, everyone's hearts were in their throats at this moment.
Especially Wu Feng.
What was different from the previous time was that blood still flowed from the corner of his mouth. However, he forcefully endured it. He only let the blood flow slowly from his mouth. He did not spit it out.
Because...
That would affect his flute music.
There was a faint sorrow in Wu Feng's eyes. It was unknown whether it was because of the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan, or because of Yan Xiu's current state.
Anyway, his eyes seemed to be a little wet. His gaze was fixed on the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan in Yan Xiu's hands. Of course, the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan could no longer be called the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan.
That was because the mountains and rivers were no longer there. On the surface of the fan, other than a patch of white, there was also some blood. Some blood that had sprayed out from the mouth and landed on the surface of the fan.
The blood-red light also disappeared.
However, the eyes of Yan Xiu, who was holding the fan, were as red as ever. Other than his eyes, there was also a red light shining on his chest.
Like a heartbeat, it flickered rhythmically.
"I didn't expect the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan to be so powerful. No wonder he was one of the five treasures of the Yan Family. However, why did Yan Xiu look so weird? Could it be … "
"Oh no, Yan Xiu has been controlled by the Asura Dao! I once read in a book that if one's foundation isn't stable and forcefully raises one's realm and strength, it's very likely that one will go astray and go berserk! "
"Cultivation deviation? Is he going to become an Evil Asura? "
"If that's the case, then it'll be terrible. I heard that once one becomes an Evil Asura, they'll lose the kindness in their hearts. Their hearts will be filled with kindness and they'll completely lose their minds. If we want to save him, the only way is to cripple his cultivation."
All of the candidates were terrified when they saw the red light on Yan Xiu's chest.
"Evil Asura?" The middle-aged man did not look too well. It was obvious that he had been injured in that attack.
However, when he saw the pulsating red light on Yan Xiu's chest, the corners of his mouth curled into an exceptionally pleased smile.
He did not attack Yan Xiu again.
Anyone who fell into the Evil Asura Dao was no different from a dead person.
A person who was evil and was controlled by the Dao of Asura was a tragedy for the human world. Of course, there was another reason why the middle-aged man did not attack.
That was …
Right now, Yan Xiu was in the Dao of Asura.
To put it bluntly, Yan Xiu was not easy to deal with. Why would the middle-aged man find trouble with someone who was not a threat?
As such, when he saw Yan Xiu, he walked past Yan Xiu and towards Fang Zhengzhi, who was protected by Yan Xiu.
He did not seem to care about Yan Xiu's bright red eyes that were staring at him.
Nearer, nearer still nearer …
Just as the middle-aged man was less than a step away from Fang Zhengzhi, a bright red light suddenly slashed at his side.
It carried with it a kind of cold killing intent that seemed to have come from hell.
"Woosh!" The middle-aged man's figure floated and disappeared in a flash. He turned into a ray of purple light and landed five steps away. He looked at Yan Xiu, who was slowly turning towards him, and his expression was one of extreme shock.
Evil Asura!
He was called an Evil Asura because he could no longer control his mind. As such, he could attack those around him for no reason.
However, the Yan Xiu in front of him did not seem like someone who would attack him for no reason.
It was a form of protection!
It was a form of protection that came from the heart. It did not require one's mind to make a decision. It was a form of protection that made one's heart tremble.
Similarly …
This made the middle-aged man a little annoyed.
"How troublesome! What a pity … you are a cripple! " A purple light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and the sword in his hand slashed out an arc of sword light from top to bottom.
At the same time, another ray of purple light shot towards Fang Zhengzhi.
"Woosh woosh!" Two beams of red light shot out once again. One of them blocked the crescent sword light, while the other flew towards the purple light that was charging towards Fang Zhengzhi.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two loud noises rang out.
…
On the cliff of Feng Su Mountain.
Yun Qingwu looked at Yan Xiu, who was fighting with the middle-aged man. She seemed to be slightly taken aback, but it only lasted for a moment.
Then, Yun Qingwu finally moved. She waved her hand at the dozens of demon elites standing behind her with a cold look in her eyes.
When the demon elites saw Yun Qingwu's gesture, they looked at each other, almost as if they could see the determination in each other's eyes.
"Die!" The dozens of demon elites let out a cold roar at the same time. In the next instant, each and every one of them swiftly leapt down from the cliffs of the wind valley.
Like streaks of shooting stars, they flew towards Nangong Hao, the candidates, and the commander of the 50,000 soldiers.
Moments later, only three figures remained on the cliff. Yun Qingwu and the two Vice Domain Chiefs behind her. One was in the Rebirth State, the other was in the pinnacle Supernatural State.
Nangong Hao looked at the elites of the Demon Race that were shooting over like shooting stars and clenched the Wuwei Sword in his hand in an instant.
"Ka Ka" sounds came from his palms.
It seemed like he was making a huge decision. However, even Nangong Hao was hesitant about it.
At this moment, the demon elites finally rushed into the crowd.
They could no longer be called elites of the demon race. They were like a pack of wolves charging into a herd of sheep. Because, after they charged into the herd, they did not hesitate to slaughter the scholars who were standing in front of the soldiers.
"Archers, get ready!"
"Fire!"
"Spears and shields!"
"Block them, protect the candidates!"
A series of orders rang out at this moment. Arrows rained down from the sky, while shields were propped up in front of them. Spears were propped up on top of the shields.
However, they were unable to stop the swords of the demon elites.
Because...
They were all in the Supernatural State.
For a bunch of Supernatural State demons to kill a few Heavenly Reflection Pinnacle Heavenly Reflection State scholars and ordinary soldiers was a piece of cake.
"Whoosh!"
Just at that moment, a golden ray of light shot into the sky. It came from a sword, a transparent sword.
The sword's name was Wuwei, and the person wielding the sword was Nangong Hao.
Nangong Hao looked at the demon elites who had charged into the crowd, and his expression was extremely firm. It was a kind of determination that came after he had made up his mind and heaved a sigh of relief.
The source of this determination was, of course, related to the decision he made.
Xing Qingsui also turned to look at the golden beam of light. In that instant, his expression changed.
However...
He quickly recovered. He bit his lip and looked at Nangong Hao, almost as if he was trying to say something.
And at this moment, black cracks suddenly appeared beneath the walls of the Icy Monkey division. Then, the cracks widened and turned into doors that seemed to open on the ground.
This scene not only shocked the Southern Region soldiers who were charging out of the gates of the Icy Monkey Settlement, but even the candidates who were defending against the demon elites were shocked.
Because when those doors were opened, figures rushed out one after another like ants rushing out of the ground.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
They were densely packed and orderly.
Of course, the biggest difference between them and ants was that these figures were much larger and moved at an extremely fast speed. After emerging from the ground, they charged towards Nangong Hao and the elites of the Demon Race like streaks of light.
"Is this another ambush?"
"No, they are from the Great Xia..."
"Oh my god, it's really them!"
All of the candidates were stunned when they saw the figures charging towards them. They never expected to see these people here.
"I see... they actually didn't let them enter the Icy Monkey Settlement. Nangong Hao... is indeed the number one scholar in the world!" Yun Qingwu gazed at the rays of light that charged out.
She didn't seem too shocked by the figures that appeared. However, she couldn't hide the admiration in her eyes.
The figures appeared in front of Nangong Hao in an instant.
Every one of them was wearing bright armor, which was made of a special material. There were golden threads engraved on the surface of the armor, which looked like dragons coiling around them.
"Young Master Nangong!" Their voices rang out in unison. The biggest difference between their voices and those of ordinary soldiers was that their voices contained a sort of arrogance that came from deep within their bones.
It was a kind of innate arrogance, a kind of lofty arrogance.
Of course, they had the right to be arrogant. They were the Dragon Protection Squad, a special army that only the Emperor had given orders to.
The golden dragon on their chests represented their high status. They didn't have to bow to the princes, they didn't have to dismount when they entered the palace. These were the privileges of the Dragon Protection Squad.
Today, they were here, in the Icy Monkey Settlement. Furthermore, they were extremely courteous to Nangong Hao.
At this moment, four middle-aged men walked out from the Dragon Protection Squad, who were dressed in bright armor, and came to Nangong Hao's side.
"Young Master Nangong, this was not part of our plan." One of the middle-aged men looked at Nangong Hao, almost as if he was questioning him. However, there was no reprimand in his tone.
"I know." Nangong Hao nodded.
"Okay, I understand." The middle-aged man nodded. He didn't ask Nangong Hao for an explanation. He already knew why Nangong Hao made this decision.
"Leave Bai Xing to me. You guys can handle the rest. As for Fang Zhengzhi … leave him to Yan Xiu!" Nangong Hao made his decision.
However, when he looked at Yan Xiu, he hesitated for a moment.
However, he only hesitated for a moment.
In fact, this was not a decision he wanted to make. However, it was a decision he had to make.
Because …
The current Yan Xiu was not someone who would listen to his orders and advice.
In other words, the middle-aged demon could not get close to Fang Zhengzhi. Neither could the Dragon Protection Squad. As such, the best thing to do was not to get close.
"Evil Asura … Yan Xiu, you cannot become an evil Asura …" Nangong Hao looked at Yan Xiu and sighed. Then, he pointed his Wuwei Sword at Bai Xing.
Bai Xing's smile did not falter.
He did not seem too surprised by the appearance of the Dragon Protection Squad. In fact, he seemed a little excited, almost as if he had won.
"What do you have left after you take out your last pawn?" Bai Xing looked at the Dragon Protection Squad, who were charging towards the demon elites. His fingers trembled slightly, and streaks of starlight flashed.
