Chen Han knew that if he faced Ye Mingci head-on and simply pursued a draw, he would have virtually no chance of winning. Having previously released the three phantoms of Chen Yue, Mu Qing, and the blue-robed old man, and having waited so long for this opportunity, he couldn't just settle for a draw.

He thought that he must take advantage of the opportunity brought by the gathering of so many forces to break through Ye Mingci's defense line unexpectedly, even if it was just to create a momentary flaw for the opponent, then there might still be a chance.

The attacks from both sides collided with a loud bang. In an instant, it was as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. The light was as dazzling as the scorching sun, and the power was so astonishing that the entire forest seemed to be trembling.

The Emperor's Cold Palm, brimming with bone-chilling energy, slammed into Ye Mingci's fiery red light like a moving iceberg. Not to be outdone, the attacks launched by Chen Yue, Mu Qing, and the blue-robed elder were equally fierce. Their various radiances of energy intertwined, clashing fiercely with the red light in mid-air.

Energy surged wildly, and a deafening roar echoed continuously, threatening to rupture eardrums. The surrounding trees were toppled and swayed by the powerful impact, many breaking and falling to the ground, leaving broken branches and leaves flying everywhere, creating a devastating scene.

Chen Yue watched helplessly as Chen Han was exhausted after delivering a powerful blow, his body swaying and about to fall to the ground. Without hesitation, she immediately mobilized all her energy and erected a barrier of energy in front of her.

As soon as it came into contact with the surging aftermath of the attack, the energy barrier began to ripple violently, like a fragile lake surface being tossed with a boulder. Chen Yue gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead as he desperately poured the remaining energy into the barrier, trying to maintain it.

However, the power of the aftermath was too fierce. It didn't last long before cracks began to appear on the energy barrier, and the cracks spread rapidly like a hideous spider web.

With a crisp "crack", the energy barrier finally shattered and turned into points of energy light that dissipated in the air.

But Chen Yue did not hesitate at all. The moment the barrier was broken, she rushed forward, grabbed Chen Han, put his arm on her shoulder, gritted her teeth, and ran towards the depths of the forest with a tenacious will.

Ye Mingci, on the other hand, also suffered a considerable recoil. His body lurched violently, and he took several steps backward before steadying himself. His internal energy instantly became chaotic, and his chest was filled with a surge of energy and blood. A trace of pain flashed across his face.

Ye Mingci was filled with shock. He had never imagined that Chen Han could unleash such a terrifying attack. Although the tree demon was there to assist him, the strength Chen Han displayed still far exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that with his own strength, dealing with Chen Han and Chen Yue would be a piece of cake, but the previous round of attack had caused him to suffer a considerable recoil, and the energy in his body was in disorder, and he was still trying to calm it down.

"How many hidden tricks does this kid have!" Ye Mingci gritted his teeth secretly, a trace of anger and fear flashed in his eyes.

Meanwhile, the Daoyang Sect elders and their companions, not far away, were rushing towards them. Their hearts tightened at the powerful aftermath of the previous wave.

The Daoyang Sect elder had a solemn expression on his face. He stopped and looked in the direction of the aftermath. He said in a deep voice, "With such a powerful force, there must have been a very fierce battle. Let's go and check it out quickly!"

When everyone heard this, they quickened their pace, their faces filled with worry and anxiety.

As the distance gradually shortened, the devastated battlefield scene gradually came into view, with broken branches and trees all over the ground, the air still lingering with the breath of Yuanli, and Ye Mingci who was gasping for breath.

The elders stepped forward quickly and looked at Ye Mingci. Seeing that although his face looked a little pale, he could still stand steadily, they felt relieved.

An elder was the first to ask, "Mingci, what just happened? Why did such a big commotion occur? This kind of power is truly astonishing!"

The other elders echoed this, their eyes filled with concern and confusion.

Ye Mingci took a deep breath and tried to calm the chaotic energy in his body. Then he slowly said, "Just now, I encountered Yun'er's murderer. I thought I could easily deal with them, but I didn't expect that guy to have so many tricks up his sleeve. The attack he unleashed was extremely terrifying. Although I didn't suffer any losses, I did suffer some backlash."

At this point, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "Those few people, seeing the situation was bad, have already fled deep into the forest. Humph, but for now, let's kill this tree demon who dared to assist them without knowing how to live or die!"

After saying that, he looked fiercely at the tree demon that had not yet left, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

When the elders heard this, their expressions changed. Although they knew that Ye Mingci was quite powerful, anyone who made him pay so much attention must not be underestimated.

One of the elders frowned slightly and said, "That kid is so capable? It seems we need to be careful when dealing with him. But this tree demon dared to cause trouble here, so he really needs to be eliminated."

The other elders nodded, and then they all turned their eyes to the tree demon. The energy in their bodies surged faintly, and they were ready to attack together to kill the tree demon as soon as possible. They could also clean up the battlefield and chase Chen Han and Chen Yue who had fled to the depths of the forest.

Elsewhere, Chen Yue, wounded, desperately tried her best to flee with Chen Han and Meng Yue, finally finding a cave. She ignored the pain in her body and ran deeper into the cave, each step filled with anxiety and worry.

Meng Yue looked at her unconscious brother Chen Han, her little face full of anxiety and worry, her eyes red, and she said in a crying voice: "What happened to my brother? Sister Chen Yue, will my brother be okay? How could he be so badly injured!" As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, ready to roll down at any time.

Chen Yue hurriedly stopped and gently placed Chen Han on the ground. She turned around and comforted Meng Yue, saying, "Meng Yue, don't worry. Your brother just over-consumed his energy and is temporarily unconscious. He will be fine. Sister will definitely find a way to cure him."

As Chen Yue spoke, she squatted down and gently wiped the tears from Meng Yue's face, but her voice couldn't help but tremble slightly. She was actually unsure in her heart, but at this moment she had to calm Meng Yue's emotions.

Afterwards, Chen Yue moved closer to Chen Han, gently shook his body, and called out anxiously: "Wake up! We are safe for the time being, you can't be in trouble, wake up!" Her eyes were fixed on Chen Han's face, hoping that he would open his eyes quickly, even if he just moved, that would make her feel a little relieved.

Chen Han complained weakly: "I just can't move, please don't make me waste any more energy..." Hearing this, Chen Yue and Meng Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts settled down a little.

Chen Yue hurriedly said, "You scared us to death. I'm glad you're okay. Rest well first." As she spoke, she carefully helped Chen Han up and prepared to take him deeper into the cave, hoping to find a more secluded and safe place for Chen Han to recuperate.

However, they hadn't walked far when a strange smell began to waft into their noses. Chen Yue's heart tightened, and he became alert. He slowed down his pace and walked more cautiously with Chen Han and Meng Yue.

Before long, they were startled by the sight before them. They saw several wolves and some budding wolf demons gathered together, seemingly trying to steal something. Several eggs lay broken on the ground, their yolk and white spilling out, emitting a fishy odor.

Meng Yue couldn't help but let out a small cry of surprise, and Chen Yue quickly covered her mouth, silencing her. However, this still startled the wolves and wolf demons, who instantly turned their heads, their eyes gleaming with ferocity and letting out low growls. Clearly, they mistook Chen Yue and the others for food-stealing enemies and were ready to attack at any moment.

Chen Yue secretly groaned in her heart. She was already injured and had very little energy left. Even if the opponent was only in the budding stage at best, it would still be very difficult to deal with.

But she didn't have time to think too much at the moment. She gently leaned Chen Han against the stone wall beside her and whispered to Meng Yue, "Meng Yue, hide behind me and don't run around."

After saying that, Chen Yue forced himself to cheer up and mobilized the remaining energy in his body.
