The dust cleared, revealing Zhang Cheng's figure. He struggled to stand up, but felt as if his body was falling apart, and every inch of his bones was wailing. Blood flowed down his forehead, blurring his vision, but he still stared at the enemy in front of him, with an unyielding fire burning in his eyes. He knew that he was defeated, completely defeated. But he couldn't fall down, at least not now. Clinda was still waiting for him, and he had to save her...

"Give up, you have no chance." The hidden strong man said in a cold tone with a hint of mockery, "Your strength is as small as an ant in front of me."

Zhang Cheng did not speak, but silently gathered the remaining strength in his body. He knew that he was no match for this hidden strong man, but he would never surrender. Even if he died, he would die standing up, fighting like a warrior to the last moment.

The hidden strong man seemed to have lost his patience. He snorted coldly, and his figure flashed, appearing in front of Zhang Cheng in an instant. He slowly raised his right hand, and a black energy ball condensed in his palm. The powerful pressure caused the surrounding space to begin to distort.

"Go to hell!" The hidden strong man roared, and the energy ball in his hand suddenly blasted out, but the target was not Zhang Cheng, but the Dragon Star Sage who was watching the battle not far away.

Zhang Cheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and he wanted to stop it but it was too late. The Dragon Star Sage obviously didn't expect that he would become the target of the attack. He didn't even have time to react before he was hit by the black energy ball. His body fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, and his life or death was unknown.

"No!" Zhang Cheng let out a desperate roar, his eyes instantly turning red. He never expected that this hidden strong man would be so despicable that he would not even let go of the powerless Dragon Star Sage.

"You..." Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth, the anger in his heart almost burned him out. He wanted to rush forward and avenge the Dragon Star Sage, but reason told him that he couldn't do that. In his current state, rushing forward would only lead to his death, and it would not change anything at all.

The hidden strong man looked at Zhang Cheng, a cruel smile appeared on his lips, and he slowly said: "You should thank me for letting you witness the death of your companions with your own eyes. Next, I will let you experience something even more desperate..."

Zhang Cheng stared at the hidden strong man, his fists clenched and blood dripped from between his fingers. His eyes were full of hatred and anger, but also mixed with a deep sense of powerlessness.

Xiao Dian watched this scene with tears in his eyes. He was filled with grief and anger. For a moment, he even forgot to dodge and let the sharp blade chop at him...

"Xiao Dian!" Zhang Cheng's eyes were red with anger as he watched the blade emitting a cold light slashing towards Xiao Dian. He wanted to warn him, wanted to stop him, but he couldn't make any sound.

When Xiao Dian saw the Dragon Star Sage fall, his mind was so shocked that he forgot to dodge. The sharp blade cut through the air, and with a sharp whistling sound, it slashed his chest fiercely. Blood gushed out, staining his armor and the ground under his feet red. He groaned, and his huge body fell to the ground like a golden mountain or a jade pillar, splashing dust all over the sky.

"Ahem..." Xiao Dian struggled to stand up, but to no avail. He felt his vitality slipping away quickly, and the world in front of him became blurry. He tried hard to see Zhang Cheng's face clearly and wanted to say something, but he could only make indistinct whimpers.

Zhang Cheng's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the severe pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe. He watched his companions fall into a pool of blood one after another, but he was powerless. This feeling of powerlessness was more terrifying and more desperate than death.

"Mo Yi!" Zhang Cheng turned his head and looked at Mo Yi, only to find that his condition was not optimistic either. Mo Yi was already seriously injured, and now he was dying. The flame of life was like a candle in the wind, and could be extinguished at any time.

"Zhang Cheng..." Mo Yi raised his eyelids with difficulty and looked at Zhang Cheng, his eyes full of reluctance and regret, "I... I can't... help you anymore..."

"No, Moyi, hold on, you'll be fine, you'll be fine..." Zhang Cheng shook his head desperately. He didn't want to believe it, nor did he want to accept this cruel reality.

Mo Yi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a bitter smile. He wanted to raise his hand, but found that he had no strength. He looked at Zhang Cheng, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally closed his eyes. The breath on his body also disappeared along with his eyes.

"Ah!!!" Zhang Cheng roared to the sky, his voice filled with endless grief and despair. His eyes were red, and he looked like a madman, but his aura was constantly rising.

The hidden strong man looked at Zhang Cheng, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "What? Do you want to fight to the death? Unfortunately, you don't have this chance." As he said, he slowly raised his right hand, ready to give Zhang Cheng the final blow.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded: "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a girl in a green dress who had appeared at the edge of the battlefield. She was petite, with a delicate face, and long silver-white hair that fell behind her like a waterfall. Her green eyes were clear and bright, yet with a hint of cunning.

"Who are you?" The hidden strong man frowned slightly, looking at the girl who suddenly appeared, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"My name is Ling'er," the girl smiled and said cheerfully, "You can call me Ling'er, or you can call me..."

Before she finished her words, she saw Zhang Cheng waving at her frantically, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Go! Ling'er, go! It's dangerous here!"

Ling'er's smile froze slightly, and her eyes swept across the devastated battlefield and the people lying in a pool of blood. A complicated look flashed in her eyes. She bit her lips lightly, as if she was struggling and hesitating. Finally, she took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Cheng, her eyes full of apology and helplessness, "I'm sorry..."

Before Zhang Cheng could react, Ling'er's figure turned into a green light and disappeared into the sky.

"Ling'er!" Zhang Cheng screamed in despair, but he was unable to stop her from leaving. He watched helplessly as the figure who brought him hope disappeared from his sight, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered.

"Hmph, you don't know your own limits." The hidden strongman of the Blood Night Demon Family snorted coldly, not caring about Ling'er's departure. He turned his head and cast a cold gaze at the Star Guardian, "And you, you will pay the price for meddling in other people's business!"

The Star Guardian stood in front of Zhang Cheng, his long silver hair flying in the wind, the scepter in his hand emitting a dazzling light. He was pale and his breath was disordered, obviously he had consumed a lot in the previous battle.

“I, Star Guardian, will take care of today’s matter!” Star Guardian spoke in a firm tone, with no intention of backing down.

“Then die!” The elder of the Blood Night Demon Family roared and swung the black staff in his hand violently. Black lightning attacked the Star Guardian like a poisonous snake.

The Star Guardian waved his scepter, and a series of starlight barriers blocked the black lightning, but his body was also shaken back by the huge impact force.

"Let's go together and kill him!" The messenger of the Blood Night Demon Family also joined the battle. The long sword in his hand turned into blood-red lightning and attacked the Star Guardian.

Facing the attack of two powerful enemies, the Star Guardian gradually fell into disadvantage. His injuries became more and more serious, and his breath became weaker and weaker, but he still did not give up, and still tried his best to protect Zhang Cheng behind him.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the scepter in the hands of the Star Guardian finally couldn't bear the weight and broke into several pieces. He was also knocked away by the elder of the Blood Night Demon Family and fell heavily beside Zhang Cheng, with blood gushing out of his mouth.

“Star Guardian!” Zhang Cheng’s eyes were red with anger, and he wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Star Guardian.

“Don’t come over… cough cough… I don’t have any strength left…” Star Guardian said weakly, his voice intermittent, “You… You have to live…”

The Star Guardian slowly closed his eyes, and the light on his body dimmed.

The hidden strong man of the Blood Night Demon Family walked towards Zhang Cheng step by step. Every step seemed to be stepping on Zhang Cheng's heart, making him feel suffocating and desperate.

"It's over..." The hidden strongman of the Blood Night Demon Family looked down at Zhang Cheng, his eyes full of mockery and cruelty, "Now, it's time to send you on your way."

Zhang Cheng sat on the ground helplessly, surrounded by the corpses of his companions and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. He looked at the invincible enemy in front of him, and his heart was filled with despair. Did they really fail like this? Did all their efforts go in vain?

He slowly closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

"stop!"

An old and majestic voice exploded in everyone's ears like thunder. The hidden strongman of the Blood Night Demon Family walked towards Zhang Cheng, who was sitting on the ground, with the attitude of a winner. Every step he took seemed to step on Zhang Cheng's heart, making him feel suffocated, desperate and powerless.

"It's over, human." The hidden strong man looked down at Zhang Cheng, his scarlet eyes flashing with cold murderous intent, as if he was looking at a dead person, "Your struggle, your resistance, are all in vain."

Zhang Cheng gasped weakly, blood soaked his clothes, and his vision began to blur. He struggled to stand up, but fell down again and again. His eyes swept across the battlefield, and his comrades who had fought side by side were now lying in a pool of blood.

Xiao Dian’s heroic laughter seemed to still echo in his ears, and the Star Guardian’s determined gaze seemed to still be before his eyes, but they had all left forever.

"Ling'er... Star Guardian... Xiaodian..." Zhang Cheng murmured to himself, his voice hoarse, full of sadness and despair, "I'm sorry... I'm too weak... I didn't protect you well..."

The hidden strong man looked at Zhang Cheng's desperate expression, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips. He slowly raised his hand, gathered a terrifying energy, and prepared to give Zhang Cheng the final blow.

"Go to hell, human! Your blood will be the best gift to commemorate our warriors!"

At this critical moment, an old and majestic voice exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

The sound seemed to carry some strange power and instantly spread throughout the battlefield. Even Mo Yi and Long Xing Sage who were watching the battle from afar could hear it clearly.

The attack of the hidden strong man stopped abruptly in mid-air. He turned his head sharply, his scarlet eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"Who is it? Who dares to stop my Bloody Night Demon Family from doing things?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw an old man in a golden robe slowly descending from the sky. His hair and beard were all white, but he was in good spirits, and his cloudy eyes flashed with wisdom, as if he could see through everything in the world.

"Who are you?" The hidden strong man felt a little fear in his heart when he felt the powerful aura emanating from the old man.

The old man ignored the questions from the hidden strong man, but turned his gaze to Zhang Cheng who was lying on the ground. A complex look flashed in his turbid eyes.

"Kid, you're suffering."

"You are..." Zhang Cheng looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

The old man slowly stretched out his hand, and a gentle force lifted Zhang Cheng up. He looked at Zhang Cheng, his eyes full of kindness and care.

"Child, I am..."

Before the old man could finish his words, the attack of the hidden strong man had already arrived.

"court death!"

The hidden strong man had obviously lost his patience. He roared, and the terrifying energy fluctuations erupted again, targeting the old man and Zhang Cheng.

"Humph!"

The old man snorted coldly, and an even more powerful force surged out of his body, instantly dissolving the attack of the hidden strong man into nothingness.

"Who are you?!" The hidden strong man was completely shocked. He had never seen such a powerful existence.

The old man ignored the questioning of the hidden strong man, but turned his gaze to Zhang Cheng and said calmly:

"Kid, are you ready?"

Zhang Cheng looked at the old man's deep eyes, and suddenly an inexplicable premonition surged in his heart. He took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"I'm ready."

The old man nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and looked at the hidden strong man with cold murderous eyes.

"You should pay for what you have done."

Before he finished speaking, the old man turned into a golden light and rushed towards the hidden strong man...
