    David helped Zi Yuan retreat to the camp, and Wu Hao immediately sent for healing elixirs.


    After taking the elixir, Zi Yuan’s spiritual power gradually returned, but she still looked at the ck-robed youth on the battlefield with a wary look.


    The ck-robed youth, who had been silenced by David’s rebuke, saw Zi Yuan being escorted away. He was filled with anger and fear, but he didn’t dare to confront David. Instead, he directed his rage at the Sixth Heaven cultivators, shouting hoarsely, “A bunch of cowards! Just won a match, and you’re so proud of yourself? Who else dares toe out and die?”


    His words pierced the cultivators’ hearts like a needle, and the morale that had just risen with Zi Yuan’s victory plummeted.


    Leng Yun’s face flushed red as he tried to advance again, but was held back by those around him. His spiritual power hadn’t yet recovered, and advancing would only add to his defeat.


    Just as the camp fell silent, a heartyugh suddenly rang out: “How dare you, young demon cultivator, speak so arrogantly? Let me confront you!”


    Before the words had even finished, a crimson figure leaped into the center of the battlefield like a raging fire, sending up a cloud of dust as itnded.


    The neer was a burly figure, dressed in crimson garb, a broadsword slung from his waist, and a savage smile on his face. It was none other than Han Lie, the “Red me de,” ranked third on the Martial Ranking.


    “It’s Han Lie!


    ” A cry of surprise suddenly echoed from the mountainside. “The third-ranked Red me de has finally made his move!


    ” “Han Lie reached the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm many years ago, even stronger than Zi Yuan just now. That ck-robed demon cultivator is doomed!”


    “Great! We can finally teach these arrogant demon cultivators a lesson!”


    The cultivators chattered with anticipation, and even Wu Hao’s face showed a hint of relief.


    Han Lie was renowned among the younger generation of the Sixth Heaven for his fierce fighting prowess. His “Red me Sword Technique” was unparalleled in its power, having once cleaved a cliff a thousand feet in half with a single blow. His strength far surpassed Leng Yun’s.


    The ck-robed young man, observing the powerful aura emanating from Han Lie, a glint of solemnity shed in his eyes, but his words remained unforgiving: “Another one seeking death? All the same, let me finish him off!”


    “Stop talking nonsense and give me your life!”


    Han Lie’s eyes zed with fighting intent, and he suddenly drew the broadsword from his waist.


    The instant the de


    was unsheathed, a scorching aura washed over him, and a faint me condensed on the de. This was the Red me de’s innate spiritual power—the Burning Heaven me.


    The ck-robed youth, fearingcency, formed seals with his hands, and demonic energy swirled around him. He quickly condensed into two ck scimitars, hovering at his sides.


    “Take it!”


    he shouted. The two ck des, like two dark shadows, pierced Han Lie’s heart with a sharp, air-piercing sound.


    Han Lie sneered and swung his des to block.


    With two crisp ngs, the ck des were cleaved by the Red me de, their demonic energy instantly incinerated by the Burning Heaven me.


    The ck-robed youth was startled, having not expected Han Lie’s power to be so formidable. He quickly controlled the ck des and attacked again.


    This time, the ck des no longer moved in a straight line but circled in the air like two ck bats, attacking Han Lie from all angles.


    Han Lie, however, remained unfazed. His Red me de danced imprably in his hands, forming a wall of fire that blocked every attack.


    “Is that all you’re capable of?”


    Han Lieughed heartily. Suddenly, he leaped up, gripping the de with both hands and shing down fiercely: “Red me de Technique, First Form – zing mes!”


    The moment the de fell, countless mes erupted from the de, sweeping towards the ck-robed youth like a tidal wave.


    Wherever the mes passed, the ground was instantly charred ck, and even the air became incredibly scorching. The ck-robed youth’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly summoned all his demonic energy to condense into a ck shield.


    “Bang!”


    The mes collided with the shield, making a loud noise.


    The ck shield continued to melt under the mes, and blood flowed from the corner of the ck-robed youth’s mouth, clearly suffering internal injuries.
