Just as Lu Lingxi Yao used her elemental combination skill to temporarily block the Heavenly Rift, the masked man took the opportunity to sneak up to Di Lin and Di Hong, and silently slashed at the unprepared Di Hong with his scythe!

"Father!" Di Lin was horrified and tried to stop him, but it was too late!

At this critical moment, a vast and powerful imperial aura erupted from Di Hong's body. This was the dormant imperial essence within him, an instinctive stress response when he sensed a fatal threat.

The moment the demon-faced scythe came into contact with this imperial pressure, it suddenly stopped and its speed decreased sharply. For the first time, a look of horror appeared in its eyes. It could feel that this pressure had an absolute suppressive effect on it!

Although the oppressive force only lasted for a brief moment before dissipating, and Di Hong's body became even weaker as a result, he successfully bought Lu Lingxi a precious second.

"It's now!"

Lu Lingxi's eyes flashed with a sharp light. She poured the last of her power, along with the fragments of divine power bestowed by the Goddess Lu Yao, into the Azure Dragon Sword!

"Azure Dragon Roar - Void Slash!"

The Azure Dragon Sword let out a deafening dragon roar. On its blade, spatial power and sword energy merged perfectly, and an almost imperceptible silver crack instantly tore through the void, precisely slashing towards the masked man.

The masked man had just recovered from the shock of the emperor's aura and had no time to dodge this sudden and fatal blow.

With a soft "swoosh!", the scythe that the masked man used to block was actually cut in half by the Void Slash. Although he avoided the fatal blow with his strange movement, the black robe on his left arm was torn open, revealing a pale and withered arm with a deep wound that exposed the bone, from which black blood slowly seeped out.

The masked man let out a roar of shock and anger, retreating rapidly. His eyes, as he looked at Lu Lingxi Yao, were filled with surprise, suspicion, and murderous intent.

At the same time, taking advantage of the moment when Lie Tian was stunned by Lu Lingxi Yao's desperate attack, she endured the excruciating pain from the backlash, grabbed Di Lin and An Ye, and shouted sharply, "Go!"

The three protected Di Hong, like three streaks of light, and ran desperately towards the exit of the passage. The traps and mechanisms inside the passage seemed to have temporarily stopped working due to the previous battle and energy disturbance, which made it easier for them to break through.

"Where do you think you're going!" Lie Tian reacted and roared in fury, immediately giving chase. The masked man also endured the pain, transforming into a black shadow and following closely behind.

Just as Lu Lingxi and the others were about to rush out of the ancestral vein forbidden area entrance, a violent energy fluctuation came from ahead!

"boom--"

A violent explosion occurred at the entrance to the ancestral vein's forbidden area, the powerful shockwave even surging back into the passage. Lu Lingxi's heart tightened; it was Rong Zhi and the others. They had already reached the entrance. The next moment, the scene before them invigorated them.

Outside the forbidden area, the once heavily guarded area was now a scene of devastation. Nalan Rongzhi hovered in mid-air, his demonic energy surging, as he engaged in a fierce battle with several powerful Lietian City guards.

The Netherworld transformed into countless black shadows, leaping and darting across the battlefield, constantly creating chaos and illusions. The White Tiger transformed into its original form, its massive body brimming with power, tearing several enemies apart with each pounce!

Feng Xiao and Pan Shi Lie led the elite warriors of the Pan Shi tribe, along with some loyalists who rushed to the scene, forming a battle formation on the outer perimeter and fighting against the Lie Tian troops who were coming from all directions to reinforce them.

"Yao Yao!" Nalan Rongzhi was the first to spot Lu Lingxi Yao rushing out of the forbidden area. Seeing the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth and her pale face, his eyes were filled with deep heartache.

"Your Majesty!" Feng Xiao, Pan Shi Lie, and the others were so excited when they saw Di Hong being supported by Di Lin that their morale soared!

However, Lie Tian and the masked man also rushed out of the forbidden area. "Stop them! Don't let them escape!" Lie Tian pointed at Lu Lingxi and the others and gave a death order!

The masked man didn't speak, but stared coldly at Lu Lingxi, the wound on his severed arm seemingly reminding him of the humiliation he had just suffered.

"Everyone, move closer to me!" Lu Lingxi Yao, enduring her pain, quickly issued the order, "Prepare to break through!"

Nalan Rongzhi instantly appeared beside Lu Lingxi Yao, channeling a stream of pure energy into her body. At the same time, he coldly looked at Lie Tian and the masked man, unleashing his powerful demonic might without reservation.

The White Tiger roared as it charged toward the reinforcements from the Sky-Splitting Army, clearing a path for everyone. The Netherworld created a wide-ranging illusion to disrupt the enemy's vision and judgment. The Emperor Lin protected the Emperor Hong, closely following Lu Lingxi, Yao Nalan, and Rong Zhi. Although the Night was weak, it still tried its best to release soul interference. The Rocky and the Wind Howl commanded the outer forces to hold off the pursuers and buy time for the team's retreat.

"Kill—" The battle cries shook the heavens, and various energies collided fiercely in the air.

Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi fought side by side, one manipulating the elements and the other controlling magic and space. Their perfect teamwork was like the sharpest blade, tearing a bloody path through the enemy's encirclement.

Lie Tian and the masked man tried to intercept him, but Nalan Rongzhi's strength far exceeded their expectations. In addition, with Lu Lingxi Yao assisting from the side, as well as Bai Hu, You Ming and others restraining him, they were unable to stop him for a while.

"Retreat!" Lu Lingxi Yao seized the opportunity and gave the order again.

However, there were simply too many pursuers, and the encirclement around Lietian was constantly shrinking.

"Chieftain, hurry! We'll hold them off!"

Just as an elite Wolf Fang Guard was about to flank them, several wounded Rock Tribe warriors resolutely turned around and blocked the pursuers' path.

"The rock will never crumble, the loyal souls will live on forever!" They roared in their final moments, then detonated their demon cores without hesitation!

"Boom!" A violent explosion rang out, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The powerful energy shockwave temporarily halted the pursuers' advance and bought Lu Lingxi and the others a final chance to break through.

"No—" Pan Shi Lie's eyes turned bloodshot as he saw the tragic sacrifice of his people, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar. But he knew that this was not the time for grief. He had to lead the remaining people to complete their mission!

"Hurry! Follow this road!" Feng Xiao's voice was urgent and hoarse. Relying on his familiarity with the Black Wind Mountains, he led the way while constantly triggering pre-arranged traps and decoys to further delay the pursuers.

Finally, under the cover of several loyal warriors who risked their lives, Lu Lingxi and her group broke through the last blockade line outside Lietian City and disappeared into the depths of the Black Wind Mountains along a hidden mountain path.
