The demon commander’s spiritual power, though not as terrifying as ten thousand, still measured at six or seven thousand. If the front lines of defense collapsed, a massacre would surely ensue for both demon hunter teams.

Finally, the Greater Imp was blasted away by a sword strike, slamming hard into the wall behind. The massive wound prevented it from maintaining its mirrored form, and the severely injured Mirror Treasure Divine Pig revealed its true form.

Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan, and Sima Xian all lunged forward simultaneously, but the demon commander merely spun sideways, blasting all three of them away. Deep wounds were left on both Sima Xian and Han Yu.

Within the cave, Lin Xin was the only one with relatively intact combat strength remaining.

“Fire Element Shield, Resist Fire Ring!” Lin Xin’s hand, gripping the Fire Cloud Crystal Staff, trembled slightly. In terms of spiritual power strength, he was among the best in the team, but he was a mage who couldn’t attack!

“Ah—” A scream suddenly erupted from behind Lin Xin, followed by the sound of a body collapsing. A streak of silver light burst forth, appearing beneath the demon commander’s feet. The domineering and ferocious figure was frozen in place.

Lin Xin abruptly turned his head to look behind him. He saw Yi Jun engulfed in intense silver-white flames, urgently saying to him, “Quick, attack him! I can’t hold on much longer.”

The Flame of Life! It was the Flame of Life! Yi Jun was burning his own life force. This magic would only end when his life terminated.

The demon commander was motionless, his ferocious face not far from Lin Xin. But he couldn’t attack!

The Soul Chain’s life sharing couldn’t negate the backlash from the medicine. As the effects of the Exploding Spirit Pill and Bloodthirsty Pill wore off, Han Yu, Wang Yuanyuan, and Sima Xian had all lost their combat abilities. Their own spiritual power had been completely drained.

“I… I can’t cast offensive magic!” Lin Xin stammered.

Lu Xi, with his last ounce of strength, unleashed a series of Holy Light Orbs, bombarding the demon commander. He roared, “Damn it! Don’t you even know a basic Fireball spell?”

Within the cave, Lin Xin was the only one with the spiritual power to attack, but his face was ashen, and the firelight on his staff sputtered, unable to release a single offensive spell.

“I can’t hold on any longer!” Yi Jun roared, blood streaming from all seven orifices of his face.

“Ah—” Lin Xin screamed almost madly. A Resist Fire Ring erupted, blasting the demon commander out of the cave with a deafening roar. It also ended Yi Jun’s magical confinement.

“You…” Yi Jun glanced at Lin Xin with resentment before falling into a deep coma.

The demon commander was blasted out of the cave. Just as he was about to pounce back in for a massacre, a golden beam, like a meteor from the sky, descended. A piercing screech, coupled with an unparalleled powerful aura, brought with it an intensely sharp attack.

The compressed air caused the demon commander, whose spiritual power was still over six thousand, to be completely unable to dodge. The last thing he saw in his life was a figure riding a three-headed giant beast descending from the sky, his entire body radiating a golden glow.

*Pfft!* The sword broke, and the person died—split in two with a single strike.

The demon commander, along with his fifth-tier Nightmare mount, was cleaved in half by this earth-shattering blow. The corpses crashed to the sides.

The spiritual power link backlashed, causing the five Greater Demon Cavalry behind him to simultaneously cough up black blood.

“Roar—” Hao Yue’s three heads roared in unison, unleashing three streams of breath simultaneously, blasting the five Greater Demon Cavalry, suffering from the backlash, directly away. Long Haochen, on its back, flickered out, the Light Elemental Sprite Ya Ting by his side constantly emitting rings of white light. The Spirit Gathering Halo rapidly restored Long Haochen’s consumed spiritual power.

Yes, at the critical moment of life and death, Long Haochen had finally returned. He held Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in both hands. Dense, almost viscous, golden light formed a brilliant golden halo around his body. Coupled with the amplification from the Light Elemental Sprite Ya Ting, even without Hao Yue, he had the confidence to fight any sixth-tier expert head-on.

Undoubtedly, the strike that killed the demon commander was the Asura Slash. If it was just the Asura Slash, it wouldn’t have had such powerful attacking force. But what if it was the Asura Slash in a charged state?

On the return journey, with Hao Yue’s ascent, Long Haochen had been constantly immersed in comprehending the Asura Slash. He quickly discovered that his newly learned Asura Slash could be coordinated with the Accumulation skill. In this way, the attacking power of the Asura Slash became terrifying.

If he were alone, he naturally wouldn’t be able to use Accumulation in battle; that would be an act of suicide. But don’t forget, he had Hao Yue’s help! Standing on Hao Yue’s back, he had plenty of time to complete the Accumulation. And that demon commander became the first sacrifice under his Asura Slash.

A full three thousand spiritual power accumulated Asura Slash! The strength of the attack was so strong that even Long Haochen himself was filled with shock. However, he didn’t have time to be excited.

Halfway through the return journey, he felt the injuries transmitted through the Soul Chain’s life sharing. As a knight, he could naturally treat and share the pain with Hao Yue. But how could he not realize that his companions were in danger? He hurriedly urged Hao Yue to return with all their might. Before exiting the cave, his accumulated Asura Slash had already begun to prepare. Long Haochen believed that the enemy must have a strong leader, and severely injuring the other side’s head was the most important thing.

Moreover, the appearance of the Eternal Melody necklace could be said to have given Long Haochen the spiritual aperture ability of a sixth-tier knight ahead of time. The spiritual power recovery speed when casting any attack was three times faster than before. Coupled with Ya Ting’s assistance, his spiritual power could recover at a terrifying speed of twenty points per second in battle. Long Haochen was quite certain that the Eternal Melody necklace was at least a legendary-level equipment. And that was the most conservative estimate.

With Nine Dragons underfoot, Long Haochen’s figure weaved through the demon knights like an illusion. He was very anxious now because, not long before rushing out of the cave, he clearly felt a strong sense of unease. The feeling of heartache made his heart flutter.

Lightning Thrust, carrying a misty and illusory luster, instantly spread out. This was not the original Lightning Thrust, but Lightning Thrust with the addition of Rippling Light. With Long Haochen’s current cultivation, how could these Greater Demon Cavalry possibly resist?

Radiant Light shone in the rear, and Little Light’s spiritual power support instantly fell on Long Haochen. Little Fire and Little Green also rained down low-level spells one after another to protect his flanks.

No Greater Demon Cavalry’s spear could block Long Haochen’s Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light. Light flickered, only a series of *puff puff* sounds of sword lights entering bodies could be heard.

The Lightning Thrust skill was just a low-level skill for a Retribution Knight. It was usually used by high-level experts against low-level opponents, or as a connection between other skills. Because Lightning Thrust’s attack power was scattered, and it didn’t require much spiritual power to conjure many sword lights, high-level knights rarely used it.

However, this skill completely changed in Long Haochen’s hands. After he obtained Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, the power of Lightning Thrust greatly increased, changing from a purely light-based dazzling skill to a light- and water-based piercing skill. At this time, with the amplification of Rippling Light, the attacking power of each sword was greatly enhanced.

Long Haochen had just comprehended Rippling Light not long ago, and hadn’t had time to truly improve Lightning Thrust, but even so, it was not something that ordinary Greater Demon Cavalry could block.

With Han Dao Si and Li Xin’s cooperation, the remaining battle ended quickly. All the Greater Demon Cavalry perished on the hillside. How could a few who wanted to escape outrun the Rose Unicorns that could fly in the air? They were all killed by Li Xin one by one.

“Haochen, you’re finally back.” Li Xin, riding the Rose Unicorn, landed on the ground and dismounted. However, when she came to Long Haochen, she found him standing there, his body trembling slightly.

Following Long Haochen’s gaze, she saw Cai’er standing silently not far away like a statue. Such fierce fighting was happening here, but she didn’t react at all, like a walking corpse.

“Cai’er…” Long Haochen’s voice trembled. With a flash of light in his hand, Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light had disappeared on their own. He took three steps as two, even using the Assault skill, instantly rushing to Cai’er’s front.

Dark golden light flashed, Cai’er’s right hand slightly raised, but only raised halfway before falling weakly. Her body softened and she collapsed directly into Long Haochen’s arms.

Holding her soft body tightly, Long Haochen unhesitatingly cast a Holy Light Shield over himself and Cai’er. However, he quickly discovered that Cai’er’s vital signs were not uncomfortable, only that her spiritual power was extremely depleted, both internal and external. After collapsing into Long Haochen’s arms, she couldn’t even lift a finger.

“How could this be? How could this be? It’s all my fault for coming back late.” Long Haochen regretted it, regretting not being able to return here sooner. He was so intelligent, even in a state of confusion, he could understand why his companions would fight to the death here.

“It was all my own wrong judgment that led to this! I thought the demons wouldn’t be able to arrive in a short time, so I stayed too long. It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault.”

Long Haochen’s heart was filled with self-blame. His gaze finally saw the demon lord’s body that had been cut in two.

Such a huge demon and Nightmare Demon Horse, Long Haochen gently stroked Cai’er’s long hair, “Silly girl, did you use the Samsara Spiritual Furnace again? It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault.” Holding Cai’er tightly in his arms, Long Haochen’s heart ached so much that he could barely breathe. His eyes also turned red.
