The one who broke the dome and entered the temple from the murky night sky was none other than Chongming. On the bird’s back, Zhu Yan didn’t wait to land before casting the most powerful spell she knew, a sunset arrow to push back the opponent and a wall of infernal flames to ward him off instantly, trying to help the trapped Shi Ying from across the sky.

The man’s voice could not help but be slightly stunned, “Another one?”

Before the words left his mouth, the sword in the God of Destruction’s hand lifted sharply and pointed to the sky.

“Ah-Yan!” Shi Ying cried out in dismay, “Watch out!”

She was pulled by a tremendous force and dropped from the back of the divine bird, falling rapidly from a high altitude towards the tip of the sword raised in the demon’s hand – in that instant, a white shadow flashed in front of her, and some sort of barrier suddenly unfolded, actually receiving the blow for her!

“Four-eyed Bird!” Zhu Yan witnessed the fresh blood splashing from the neck of Chongming Divine Bird and could not help but shout out in disbelief.

At the very moment she was attacked and fell, Chongming spread its wings and covered the top of the demon’s head, deflecting the full force of the blow – the sharp blast of the sword pierced through its neck and the blood gushed out like an arrow, raining down from the sky like a hail of blood!

Zhu Yan shrieked heartbreakingly and plummeted to the ground along with the divine bird from the high altitude.

The rain of blood poured down nearly covering her.

The huge sacred bird fell to the floor of the temple, dangling its long neck and head, dying. A trace of anxiety was still visible in its four blood-red eyes as he struggled to nudge his wings against her, gesturing for her to turn around and face the battle. However, Zhu Yan didn’t have the heart to mind anything else, and swooped over and quickly cast out a healing spell to try to stop the blood rushing out of its neck.

“Ah-Yan, forget about that for now!” Shi Ying, however, already reached her from behind, and with a stern whisper, pulled her up from the side of Chongming, “Defend yourself against the enemy first!”

Zhu Yan was soft-hearted after all, and she was a bit reluctant to let go of Chongming. However, before she could assist further, a loud rumble suddenly erupted in her ears, and the newly erected Red Flame Barrier suddenly collapsed, as a huge arm broke out from the wall!

When the enchantment was broken, the spell caster was also struck by a heavy blow, and her eyes went black. The dying Chongming, seeing her like this, became extremely anxious, but was also unable to move.

“Ah-Yan!” Shi Ying, however, was unforgiving and shouted, “Stand up!”

Zhu Yan caught a deep, big breath, feeling as if her entire body has been smashed right through, shaken to the core. She had never encountered such a formidable opponent who could crush her with a single blow. Yet, hearing her Master’s anxious and urgent command, she knew that she absolutely could not collapse right then and there, so she gritted her teeth and propped herself up, standing up on her feet with a single move – yes, she was here to fight with her Master! How could she fall down as soon as she arrived?

Yet, as she pumped herself up, out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of the hand that continued to reach out from the enclosure and swipe across, easily turning its hand to extinguish the wall of flame as if smacking a fragment of sparkle!

The ground reverberated and shook heavily as the god of destruction approached them step by step, his golden pupils shining brightly, and the long sword of heavenly cleansing glowing in his hand. Although it was a mere clay sculpture, she was dumbfounded by the power and imposing aura of the ancient god of war being reborn.

“Oh heavens!” Zhu Yan couldn’t help uttering out loud, “The God of Destruction is actually alive?”

“This is not the God of Destruction,” Shi Ying said in a deep voice, “It’s just that thing that possessed the statue of the god.”

“What is… that thing?” Zhu Yan’s voice trembled a little, looking at the idol that was forcing its way towards them step by step, feeling almost like a dream, “A demon! What the hell is this thing?”

Shi Ying remained quiet for a moment and replied, “I don’t know either.”

Although the enemy was now very close, Zhu Yan could not help but glance back at him in surprise: for the first time in her life, she actually heard the answer “I don’t know” from her master’s mouth! She was caught by surprise.

However, she couldn’t afford to think about it further, because the wind was already cutting into her face!

Under the dark canopy, the wind and clouds surged. As if summoned by an unfathomable power, the winds from all directions suddenly blew towards the White Pagoda, filling the previously calm eye of the storm – dark clouds swirled and the whole temple shook, as if a huge invisible sword was cleaving down from the void to split the entire White Pagoda in two!

How dare you even conjure the winds and clouds under the heaven and earth? What kind of origin this man has?! Zhu Yan had never faced off against such a formidable opponent before, and was somewhat dumbfounded for a while.

In her ears, she suddenly heard Shi Ying shouting softly, “Now, fast!”

“Huh?” Zhu Yan failed to react for a moment, as a white light flashed in front of her eyes, and Shi Ying suddenly stepped out!

He attacked with all his might, as fast as lightning, without preserving the slightest bit of strength for his protection, exposing his entire body. Without a second of hesitation, Zhu Yan immediately bent her knees and pressed her hands onto the broken ground of the temple, and quickly activated the Thousand Trees barrier.

The moment Shi Ying attacked, she simultaneously summoned the powerful forces from the depths of the Yunhuang earth. Those powers traveled from the ground, surging along a rampant path inside the White Tower and penetrating the ground of the temple in an instant. Countless celestial trees emerged from the floor and grew rapidly, like a bronze wall, trapping that demonic creature.

As soon as that happened, Shi Ying’s arm swung across and a dazzling light once again radiated from his hand – in that moment, he actually unleashed the Heavenly Punishment once again with just one hand!

In a flash of movement, the two of them worked in perfect harmony: the strongest attack spell followed by the strongest defensive spell merging together, performed in the same instant, creating a flawless knockout blow in the blink of an eye!

Shi Ying darted forward and poured all his strength into his body, engulfing his entire person in light, as if he turned himself into a longsword and swiftly slashed across the demon’s throat. The sharp light cut into the statue and crossed his throat in one swift stroke. With a single click, the demon’s head severed from its neck and rolled to the ground with a loud boom, sending chips of stone flying.

It worked? In that instant, Zhu Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Shi Ying glided silently across the room after the blow, stopping at the other end of the temple like a stunning star, his breath rising and falling slightly, turning his head to glance at Zhu Yan with approval in his eyes – just now, in a life-and-death situation, she had cooperated seamlessly, practically sharing the same mind and heart with him.

The demon’s head gurgled and rolled on the temple’s floor, without stopping for a while. Zhu Yan could not help but lift up her toes and stomp on the devil’s brow, halting the head’s movement.

“Be careful!” Shi Ying was startled and quickly stepped in front of her.

The demon’s eyes were wide open, and the expression on the carved face was still fierce, yet the whole thing had become a dead object, without the slightest hint of the dark aura it possessed a moment ago.

Shi Ying let out a sigh of relief as the light on his hand gradually diminished. He lifted his hand and covered his right arm, his breath becoming slightly rushed – when the light of the Heavenly Punishment disappeared, Zhu Yan noticed that there was blood seeping out of his shoulder incessantly, and half of his white clothes had already turned red.

“Master!” She exclaimed out of breath and hurriedly cast a healing spell on his shoulder. However, Shi Ying pushed her hand away and whispered, “Don’t worry about that for now; save some energy.”

Save some energy for what? Wasn’t the fight already over? Zhu Yan was stunned.

However, just in that moment, a sentence rang out from the hollow temple:

“That sword just now, what was that called again?”

In that instant, Zhu Yan’s entire body tingled with chills, and she shrieked out loud.

Yes, that voice was right behind them! Furthermore, it didn’t seem to be seriously injured – could it be that Master just sliced off the demon’s head with one blow, but failed to harm him?

“That strike exceeded the limit of power that a human should possess on the land of Yunhuang… could it be… that you have also created this yourself?” That voice arrived from the darkness with a hint of exhaustion but no signs of serious injury at all, “Could it also be named… Nameless?”

“Yes.” Shi Ying sneered, “You killed the Grand Master and must pay with your life.”

“To pay with my life?” The voice laughed, with an unmistakable tone of mockery and disdain, “How dare a mere ant… on the earth utter such words to me?”
