Yan Ruge's face was ashen, a trace of despair flickering in her eyes.
Her condition hadn't recovered, and she was already oppressed by the aura of the three Demon Kings. Now, facing the besiegent by three masters of the sa rank, there was no hope of survival.
Hidden in the shadows, Xu Guang's gaze turned completely cold.
He never expected Yan Ruge to end up in such a situation. Though she was cunning and ambitious, they had once fought side by side, and she had also taught him the art of Artifact Refining.
Moreover, her knowledge was still needed to uncover the secrets of the palace's Forbidden Techniques.
Barging in? Facing three Second Nirvana Demon Kings and tens of thousands of sea demons, even with his recent Nirvana Transformation, the risks were extrely high.
His gaze swept across the three forces, finally landing on the camp of the Northern Black Tortoise Demon King.
The Black Tortoise Demon King appeared steady, but his subordinates were a mixed group and relatively loosely managed, potentially offering an opportunity. Besides, the Black Tortoise Warriors seed formidable in defense but likely lacked speed...
The slow speed would increase the chances of escaping after the rescue.
As thoughts surged, Xu Guang made up his mind.
His figure moved like a phantom, silently circling to the back of the Black Tortoise Demon King's camp. Here, sea demons were nurous, of various races, with mixed auras.
He targeted a lone sea demon that had just returned from patrolling the outskirts.
This demon was a sea snake that had refined itself, not fully transford, retaining a snake's tail, with cultivation around the peak of Second Grade, not particularly noticeable within the demon crowd.
He had a Ghost Dragon Slaughter Talisman, with an aura seventy percent similar to this sea demon.
Xu Guang stuck to him like a shadow, and before the sea snake demon could react, the Forgetfulness True Intent enveloped it, causing instant distraction, while Slaughter True Intent turned into an invisible sharpness, instantly extinguishing its Divine Soul.
The entire process was silent, not even attracting the slightest attention from nearby Demon Soldiers.
He swiftly collected the sea snake demon's corpse into his storage equipnt. Simultaneously, his form blurred, with muscles and bones writhing slightly. With the Black Soul Venerable Body enhancing his control, he transford into the sea snake demon's appearance within monts, mimicking its aura to perfection.
He even conveniently took out the sea snake demon's token and a crude quality fish spear-like weapon.
This was the wondrous power from the complete fusion of Divine Soul and flesh after Nirvana Transformation.
Having done all this, he lowered his head, blending into the Demon Soldiers under the Black Tortoise Demon King, imitating their manner by waving the fish spear and letting out rough howls, but his eyes were fixed on the "hunt" about to begin in the field.
At this mont, the three selected sea demons had already approached Yan Ruge's starlight barrier.
The Bone-Crushing Demon Shark was the most ferocious, roaring as the bone spikes erupted in a ghastly white glow, charging at the barrier like a cannonball!
The Purple Lightning Arrow Eel flickered into an almost invisible purple electric light, swiftly circling the barrier, searching for flaws, occasionally shooting out sharp electric arrows.
The Black Tortoise Warrior strode forward steadily, a heavy hamr in hand gathering earth-yellow demonic power, striking down with imnse force!
Bam! Boom! Crack!
The starlight barrier shook violently, flickering, with more and more cracks appearing. Yan Ruge gritted her teeth, continuously channeling Source Qi into the Killing-Year Pearl and protective Magical Treasures, but her complexion grew paler, with blood once again trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"It's now!"
The "sea snake demon" Xu Guang had beco flashed a cold gleam in his eyes.
He seized the mont when the Black Tortoise Warrior's hamr descended, its old force just exhausted, new force not yet born, and the montary gap as the Bone-Crushing Demon Shark and Purple Lightning Arrow Eel were barely repelled by Yan Ruge!
He suddenly "staggered" from the demon crowd, appearing to be inadvertently caught by chaotic energy, helplessly lunging forward, shouting in panic, "Ah!"
This sudden change seed accidental, yet managed to stand between the Black Tortoise Warrior and Yan Ruge, slightly disturbing the other two sea demons' sight.
Amidst the lightning speed of this mont, the fish spear in the "sea snake demon's" hand seed to randomly stab backward, aid at the montarily stunned weak point in the waist of the Black Tortoise Warrior, caught off guard by his "comrade's" interference.
This stab appeared weak, yet contained Xu Guang's concentrated Power of Nirvana combined with a hint of Slaughter True Intent!
"Pft!"
The Black Tortoise Warrior felt a sharp, unmatched force, carrying the power of life extinction, instantly piercing within, rendering his massive body rigid, eyes filled with disbelief, trying to roar but unable to make a sound as its demonic power was instantly disturbed and obliterated by the eerie killing intent!
anwhile, the "sea snake demon" used the recoil from this stab to "slide" like a fish towards the precarious Yan Ruge! From the outside, it appeared as though this unlucky yet "fortunate" sea snake demon was "blown" by the Black Tortoise Warrior's hamr wind, coincidentally flying towards the target!
"Useless!"
"What's going on?"
The Blood Shark Demon King and the Thunder Eel Demon King frowned and berated simultaneously.
The Black Tortoise Demon King's gaze also narrowed, focusing on the unexpectedly appearing "sea snake demon", a hint of suspicion crossing his mind, but the changes happened too fast for him to think further.
That "sea snake demon" flailed its claws "helplessly" in the air, wrapping around the nearly exhausted Yan Ruge!
His hand touching her felt cold, with traces of blood. Yan Ruge was initially shocked, then her eyes showed a trace of determination, ready to activate the last power to self-destruct a talisman, preferring death over disgrace.
However, the next mont, an extrely subtle yet familiar voice whispered in her ear like a thunderclap:
"Don't move, it's ."
Yan Ruge's delicate body shivered fiercely, looking up in disbelief, locking eyes with a familiar yet cool pair hidden behind the eerie snake pupils.
It was Xu Guang!
How... how did he co? And why did he change into this form?
The imnse shock and indescribably complex emotions surged within her heart, and that resolute determination vanished instantly.
Xu Guang, holding her, feigned an excited and staggering deanor, shouting in the direction of the Black Tortoise Demon King, "My lord! My lord! I caught her! I caught her!"
Simultaneously, he secretly transmitted a ssage to Yan Ruge: "Cooperate with , conceal your aura, pretend to faint."
Yan Ruge instantly understood, her head tilting in cooperation, "fainting," her body's aura becoming even weaker.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. From the mont Xu Guang disguised as a sea snake demon took action, to the "coincidental" "capture" of Yan Ruge, it was rely two or three breaths of ti.
The Bone-Crushing Demon Shark and Purple Lightning Arrow Eel recovered, roaring and trying to charge up to seize her.
"Get lost! She's mine!" The sea snake demon Xu Guang had transford into, feigning fierceness yet inwardly timid, waved the fish spear, tightly holding Yan Ruge, retreating towards the Black Tortoise Demon King's camp.
The Black Tortoise Demon King, despite sensing sothing amiss, saw that his "subordinate" had indeed seized the target first. In such a public setting, how could he allow others to interfere?
He imdiately coldly snorted, his imnse pressure releasing, enveloping the Bone-Crushing Demon Shark and Purple Lightning Arrow Eel: "The outco is decided, you two wouldn't want to break the rules, right?"
