The atmosphere in the palace froze instantly. The Siren King's expression changed drastically, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Deep Sea Demons? They dare to challenge the majesty of my Siren Clan!"

Lan Yuan frowned slightly. The Deep Sea Demon Clan and the Sea Monster Clan had always kept to themselves, so this sudden invasion was really strange. He turned to look at the Sea Monster King and said in a deep voice, "Father, please allow your son to go and meet the enemy!"

"Nonsense!" the Siren King roared. "You've only just come of age; how can you so easily take such risks?"

“Father, I am not greedy for merit or reckless,” Lan Yuan said firmly. “I have signed a contract with Lu Lingxi Yao, and she will definitely fight alongside me. There are also Feng Qingxue and Bai Ze. If we join forces, we will surely defeat the demons!”

Upon hearing the name "Lu Lingxi Yao," a strange light flashed in the Sea Demon King's eyes. He knew that this human woman possessed extraordinary strength and had a close relationship with Lan Yuan.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Very well, you must be careful in everything you do."

"Father, rest assured, I will definitely return in triumph!" After saying this, Lan Yuan turned and rushed out of the palace.

Meanwhile, Lu Lingxi Yao was lying listlessly on the grass in the garden of the Sea Demon Clan's palace, holding a piece of seaweed she had picked from somewhere and fiddling with it idly. Sunlight filtered through the seawater, casting dappled light on her delicate face, making her even more charming and beautiful.

"Ugh, these sea monsters are so boring," Feng Qingxue sighed, turning to look at Lu Lingxi Yao beside her. "Yao Yao, when do you think Ling Yu will finally come out? I'm dying of boredom!"

Lu Lingxi chuckled and said, "Be patient. The rules of the Sea Demon Clan's royal palace are very strict. After all, Ling Yu is a prince. How can he just come out whenever he wants?"

"Qingxue, when are you going to change your impatient nature?" Bai Ze lazily lay on a rock, squinting in the sun. "Besides, this Sea Demon Palace is beautiful and full of rare treasures. Why aren't you appreciating it? What are you complaining about?"

Feng Qingxue rolled her eyes: "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you get tired of it after a while! Besides, I'm not interested in those sparkly things. I just want to leave here as soon as possible..."

Before she could finish speaking, a cacophony of shouts and battle cries erupted from afar. Immediately afterward, a guard rushed over in a panic, yelling, "Enemy attack! Deep-sea demons have invaded!"

Lu Lingxi Yao sat up abruptly, a glint of excitement flashing in her eyes: "They're finally here! Xiaoxue, Bai Ze, prepare for battle!"

Feng Qingxue suddenly stood up, her body engulfed in raging flames: "You've come at the perfect time!"

Bai Ze yawned and stretched: "Okay, it's good to stretch my muscles."

The three of them quickly ran towards the direction from which the shouts of battle came. At this time, Lan Yuan had also arrived at the battlefield. He immediately spotted Lu Lingxi Yao, who stood out in the crowd, and felt much more at ease. He then leaped up and landed beside Lu Lingxi Yao, saying in a deep voice, "Master, the demons are coming in a fierce manner. We must be careful."

Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, her eyes full of confidence: "Don't worry, with us here, no demon is a problem!"

Just then, a mysterious figure in a black cloak appeared behind the demon army. He slowly raised his hand, and a powerful dark force instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

Lu Lingxi felt a chill run down her spine. She recognized the power as the mysterious black-clad organization she had fought against many times before!

"It's them again!" Lu Lingxi said through gritted teeth. "What exactly are these guys trying to do?!"

With the infusion of dark power, the already ferocious demons became even more violent after receiving this power, their combat strength increasing several times over in an instant.

"Damn it!" Lu Lingxi cursed inwardly. The appearance of this black-clad organization undoubtedly made the already difficult battle situation even worse.

"Master, these demons seem to be controlled by some kind of force," Lan Yuan said in a deep voice, his expression becoming solemn.

“I know.” Lu Lingxi gripped her longsword tightly, her gaze coldly fixed on the man in black in the distance. “It seems we need to deal with this mastermind first!”

After saying that, Lu Lingxi Yao's figure flashed, turning into a stream of light and heading straight for the man in black. Feng Qingxue and Bai Ze followed closely behind. The three of them were like three bolts of lightning, instantly breaking through the demon's defenses.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" The man in black let out a sinister laugh. He waved his staff, and a black light barrier instantly appeared in front of Lu Lingxi and the others, blocking their path.

"A mere trick!" Feng Qingxue shouted, spitting out a blazing flame that instantly incinerated the black light barrier.

Lu Lingxi and the others continued to rush forward, but the man in black seemed to have been prepared. He continuously released various dark spells to hinder their progress.

"This bastard is so annoying!" Feng Qingxue was getting impatient. She flapped her wings, and countless fiery feathers shot towards the man in black like meteors.

The man in black snorted coldly, waved his staff, and a black whirlwind appeared out of thin air, engulfing all the fire feathers.

"This guy is very strong!" Bai Ze frowned, sensing the powerful aura emanating from the man in black.

Lu Lingxi also noticed this, but she was not afraid at all. Instead, it aroused her fighting spirit. The long sword in her hand emitted a crisp sword sound, and a powerful sword aura soared into the sky.

"Let me have a go at you!" Lu Lingxi shouted coldly, her figure accelerating again, turning into a blur, and instantly closing in on the man in black.

The man in black clearly hadn't expected Lu Lingxi to be so fast. He quickly waved his staff, trying to block Lu Lingxi's attack.

However, Lu Lingxi's sword was even faster. Her longsword sliced ​​through the void like lightning, instantly piercing the black-clad man's defenses and heading straight for his heart.

The man in black's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Lu Lingxi to be so powerful. He quickly dodged and narrowly avoided a fatal blow.

Lu Lingxi Yao was not discouraged when her first attack missed. She swung her sword again and launched a fierce attack on the man in black.

The man in black was forced to retreat repeatedly by Lu Lingxi's attacks. While he was blocking Lu Lingxi's attacks, he secretly gathered his strength, preparing to launch a counterattack.

Just then, Lu Lingxi suddenly felt a powerful suction force coming from the man in black. She was startled and tried to retreat, but it was too late.

Her body flew uncontrollably toward the man in black, and the surrounding scenery began to distort and deform. She felt as if she were being swallowed by a giant black hole, and endless darkness surrounded her, making her feel suffocated.

At that moment, with a clear phoenix cry, a fiery red figure, like a burning meteor, crashed hard into the man in black.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the man in black was sent flying, and the powerful suction force disappeared. Lu Lingxi Yao staggered and landed on the ground.

"Yao Yao, are you okay?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head and said, "It's alright!"

Seeing that Lu Lingxi was unharmed, Feng Qingxue turned to look at the man in black who had been knocked away, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes: "You dare to hurt my friend, you're asking for death!"

The man in black got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with resentment: "Phoenix Clan, it seems we're in for a tough battle today!"

He rapidly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and a powerful dark force surged from his body, forming a massive black vortex behind him.

"Watch out, he's about to unleash a powerful attack!" Lu Lingxi Yao quickly warned.

Feng Qingxue sneered: "Him?"

She spread her wings and transformed into a fiery red streak of light, rushing towards the man in black.

At the same time, a lazy voice came: "Looks like I'm a step too late, the excitement has already begun."

Bai Ze flashed to Lu Lingxi Yao's side, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a powerful force swept out, instantly shattering the black vortex behind the man in black.

"What?!" The man in black's expression changed drastically as he stared at Bai Ze in disbelief.

"A mere trick, utterly insignificant in front of me!" Bai Ze said calmly.

"Damn it!" the man in black roared, launching another attack.

However, facing the combined forces of Lu Lingxi, Feng Qingxue, and Bai Ze, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Just then, a clear voice rang in everyone's ears: "Master, I'm here to help you!" A blue figure flew over quickly; it was Lan Yuan, who was holding a trident and had also joined the battle.

The four of them joined forces and surrounded the man in black, launching a fierce attack.

The man in black was struggling and retreating step by step, and it looked like he was about to collapse.

"Damn it!" he roared, suddenly pulling a black sphere from his pocket and slamming it hard onto the ground.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the black sphere exploded, unleashing a powerful surge of dark energy that sent the four people flying...

Lu Lingxi groaned and crashed into a boulder, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. She struggled to get up, but felt that her spiritual energy was disordered and difficult to mobilize.

Feng Qingxue was in no better condition; her body was charred black from the explosion, her face was pale, and her breath was weak.

Bai Ze and Lan Yuan were also affected, but fortunately their injuries were minor. Bai Ze frowned, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He went to Feng Qingxue's side and helped her up.

Lan Yuan rushed anxiously to Lu Lingxi Yao's side, helped her up, and asked with concern, "Master, are you alright?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and stared coldly at the center of the explosion, where black mist filled the air, like a gaping maw of an abyss that devoured everything.

"What is this?" Feng Qingxue asked with difficulty, clutching her chest.

Bai Ze said in a deep voice, "This should be a forbidden technique - Shadow Burst. This dark power is extremely strange and can corrode spiritual power and disturb the mind."

Lan Yuan's expression changed. "That dangerous?"

A glint of light flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. "It seems we underestimated this man in black."

As the black mist gradually dissipated, a figure slowly emerged from it. The man in black had recovered from his injuries, but his aura was even colder and more sinister, filled with an evil scent.

"I never expected you could force me to use this move," the man in black chuckled sinisterly. "But now, it's all over." He raised his hands, and a ball of black energy condensed in his palms, radiating a suffocating pressure.

“This is…” Lu Lingxi’s pupils shrank suddenly, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"The ultimate forbidden technique—Shadow Devouring!" Bai Ze's expression turned solemn. "Once hit, the soul will be devoured, and the victim will never be reborn!"

"Master, get out of the way!" Lan Yuan pushed Lu Lingxi Yao aside, but ended up facing the black energy ball himself.

"Lan Yuan!" Lu Lingxi exclaimed, but it was too late to stop him.

The black energy sphere instantly engulfed Lan Yuan, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

"No!" Lu Lingxi Yao let out a heart-wrenching roar, her eyes filled with pain and anger. She suddenly stood up, her spiritual power surging wildly, and a terrifying power erupted from her body.

"I'm going to kill you!" Lu Lingxi's voice was as cold as frost, filled with endless killing intent.

She formed a hand seal, and the surrounding elemental power converged wildly, forming a huge nine-colored halo behind her. The halo slowly rotated, emitting a chilling energy fluctuation.

"Fusion of all spiritual energy—Light of Chaos!"

A dazzling beam of light shot out from the halo, heading straight for the man in black...

Wherever the light passed, the void shattered, and all obstacles turned to dust.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, the man in black dared not be careless in the slightest. He exerted all his spiritual power in an attempt to resist this fatal blow.

However, the power of this attack was too great, and the black-clad man's defenses were as fragile as paper in the face of the chaotic light.

With a deafening roar, the light slammed into the man in black, and in an instant, a dazzling light burst forth, followed by a tremendous explosion.

When the light faded, only a mess remained. The arrogant man in black and the soldiers of the deep-sea demons had vanished without a trace.
