From the fake emperor to the concubine

"I'm here to help you!"

At the critical moment, Liehuo didn't even care about the Lihuo Sword.

His pupils suddenly shrank, and his red hair moved without wind. He simply let go of the Lihuo Sword and let it fall to the ground. The sword body collided with the ground and made a crisp sound. He put his hands together and pushed forward violently.

"Practice your state of mind!" His voice became hoarse with anxiety.

A dressing mirror more than half a person's height appeared without warning between the monster and Jian Shisan.

The frame is carved with intricate cloud patterns, but the mirror surface appears to be rippling like water.

The monster's claw that was aimed at Jian Shisan hit the Lianxin Mirror directly.

As a result, the claw penetrated into Lian Xin realm silently.

The mirror seemed to be non-existent, allowing the monster's claws to penetrate it. It was as if there was nothing on this mirror, just connecting to another space.

The scene in the mirror was strangely distorted, revealing the terrifying appearance of the monster.

Before the monster could react to what was happening, the hand that was reaching for Jian Shisan suddenly reached out from the void behind him, and its target was his own head.

The sharp claws pierced the back of the head in the blink of an eye, and blood spurted out.

The monster roared in pain and its body twitched violently, but it was unable to break free because it was attacking itself.

I have no idea what exactly happened.

Although the monster didn't know what was happening, the extraterritorial demon in the sky could see everything clearly.

The pupil of the giant single eye suddenly shrank, and bloodshot appeared on the white of the eye. Before the monster was seriously injured, he was forced to stop attacking, so the monster did not suffer a fatal injury.

The monster's movements suddenly froze, and then it quickly retreated like a puppet, avoiding being attacked from the front and back while being injured.

Liehuo withdrew his training state of mind, and the mirror surface returned to calm after the last ripple appeared.

The corners of his mouth curled up with a smug arc, and he sneered: "See, this is the result of not paying attention to magic weapons." His fingers stroked the frame of the glasses, and his tone was a little boastful: "If you had a better weapon, you wouldn't be in such a mess."

Jian Shisan remained unmoved, his expression still stern. He tore off the hem of his shirt and bandaged the wound on his shoulder, his movements quick and decisive: "This only shows that my cultivation is not enough."

His voice was so calm that no fluctuations could be detected, but his slightly white knuckles revealed the pain he was enduring.

Another flying sword reappeared in his hand.

The sword body is simple and seems to be very old, but the spiritual energy on the flying sword is not very strong. It is actually just an ordinary flying sword.

"You two be careful, this monster is nothing to be afraid of. But the demon from outside the domain should be controlling him through his demonic energy." Taking this opportunity, Zheng Yi quickly told the two of them about his discovery.

His voice was rapid and clear, and his fingers pointed at the looming red mist tracks in the sky.

With Zheng Yi's hint, Jian Shisan and Liehuo finally understood what was going on.

Jian Shisan's eyes focused and he noticed the tiny red mist.

Liehuo laughed, his hair flying in the wind: "So that's how it is? Simple!"

There was a hint of arrogance in his laughter, and he had obviously thought of a countermeasure. He reached for his waist with his right hand and directly took out a palm-sized magic weapon that looked a bit like a bell from his personal space.

This magical object is red all over, with runes engraved all over the surface, and it has a metallic luster in the sunlight.

He chanted a spell softly and threw the object into the air: "Mysterious Phoenix Heart Burning Shield!"

As the spell fell, the object suddenly burst into a dazzling red light. When he read out the name of the magic weapon, everyone realized that it was not a bell but a cover.

The inner wall of the cover is carved with a lifelike pattern of a phoenix spreading its wings as if about to fly.

The Black Phoenix Heart Burning Cover spun rapidly in the air, making a buzzing sound. A thin layer of fire curtain spread in all directions like an umbrella, and finally fell to the ground, covering the people and the monster.

Pale golden flames danced on the fire curtain, but strangely, it did not emit any heat at all.

As the Black Phoenix Heart Burning Hood fell, the demonic energy emanating from the outer demon was directly cut off. The red mist was like being cut off by a sharp blade, lingering outside the fire curtain but unable to penetrate in.
The huge single eye in the sky became visibly agitated, and its pupils contracted violently.

The monster with the big eyeball that was so aggressive not long ago was now visibly weakening. Its movements became sluggish, the red mist on its body gradually dissipated, and even its ferocious single eye dimmed a little.

The monster roared unwillingly, but it was obviously powerless.

"Frenzy Wu, hurry up and kill him now." Liehuo urged Jian Shisan anxiously while maintaining the Black Phoenix Burning Heart Shield.

Fine beads of sweat were already oozing out of his forehead, and his hands, which were maintaining the magic weapon, were trembling slightly.

Obviously, maintaining this magical instrument is probably a big burden even for Liehuo. The light on the fire curtain is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, showing the instability of his spiritual power.

Jian Shisan picked up his sword and rushed forward without any hesitation, the hem of his clothes rustling in the wind.

His swordsmanship seemed ordinary, but it carried a majestic aura. Each sword strike was simple and unadorned, yet incredibly powerful. Wherever the sword passed, tiny cracks were cut into the air.

Even the monster that was specially created by the Eye Demon to deal with them was suppressed by Jian Shisan at this time. It dodged left and right in a panic and could hardly find any chance to fight back.

Its movements became slower and slower, new wounds continued to appear on its body, and dark green blood spilled all over the ground.

Seeing this, Qiu Miaoyin played the pipa even harder, her slender fingers flying across the strings.

The melodious music turned into substantial help, making Jian Shisan's sword power even more fierce.

Sweat also seeped out of her forehead, but she gritted her teeth and persevered, and every note fell precisely in the gap between Jian Shisan's attacks, creating the best opportunity for him.

The demon from outside the domain would naturally not be willing to see the monster he created disappear so easily.

The Eye Demon hidden in the dark clouds threw out a huge eye.

This eye, like a meteorite, dragged a long flame and smashed directly towards the Xuanfeng Burning Heart Shield.

Looking at the eyes that looked like a meteorite and seemed to weigh tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds, Liehuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know if I can handle it.

"You guys, come and help..." Before he could finish asking for help, the huge eye had already smashed into the Xuanfeng Burning Heart Hood.

In an instant, the huge eyeball exploded like an egg hitting the wall.

Zheng Yi could even clearly see that the eyeball began to be squeezed and deformed the moment it touched the Xuanfeng Burning Heart Shield, and finally exploded because it could not withstand the huge pressure.

The flames spread out in all directions with the exploded eyes as the center. The flames on the Whirlwind Divine Fire Shield flickered in the impact of the explosion, becoming brighter and brighter, and finally even formed a blue color.

Liehuo, whose wounds had not yet healed, was desperately activating his magic weapon, hoping to withstand this devastating blow.

Just when he was about to reach his limit and couldn't hold on any longer, a hand suddenly pressed against his back.

Suddenly, an incomparably pure and vast spiritual energy surged into his meridians.

Liehuo looked subconsciously and found that the person who came was Zheng Yi.

Jian Shisan and Miaoyin were fighting with the monster.

Without the support of the Eye Demon, the monster's movements became much more clumsy.

Even so, it is not something that Jian Shisan and Qiu Miaoyan can easily solve alone.

Seeing this, Liehuo urged with sweat all over his forehead: "You two, hurry up, I can't hold on for much longer!" His voice was hoarse and rapid, veins on his forehead bulged, and his hands, which were maintaining the magic weapon, were shaking violently.

The flame on the Black Phoenix Burning Heart Shield flickered, as if it could go out at any time.

Jian Shisan's movements were agile, the tip of his sword rustling in the wind as he dodged and fought back at the same time.

His sword moves became more and more fierce, and each sword made a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Qiu Miaoyin also tried her best to cooperate, her slender fingers flying on the pipa strings.

"It seems that your magic weapon is not as useful as you thought. It can't hold up so soon?" Jian Shisan teased coldly, but there was a hint of concern in his voice.

Although he was teasing Liehuo, he never stopped his attack, and his sword energy poured down like a rainstorm.

However, the monster's body was too tough, and Jian Shisan's sword energy had no way to deal with it for the time being, and could only leave shallow scars on the surface.

There was a fierce light flashing in the monster's single eye, as if it was enraged, and its attacks became more violent.

As he spoke, another eyeball like a meteorite, dragging a trail of fire, smashed towards the Xuanfeng Burning Heart Shield.

This eyeball was even bigger than the previous one, and its surface was covered with hideous bloodshot, which continued to expand as it fell. A suffocating sense of oppression permeated the air.

"Boy, use all your strength, otherwise we're all doomed." Liehuo gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words to remind Zheng Yi.

His face was as pale as paper, and blood was constantly oozing from the corners of his mouth. Under his urging, the Black Phoenix Burning Heart Shield made a humming sound as it could not bear the heavy load.

Zheng Yi nodded to show that he understood, and his eyes became extremely solemn.

This eyeball was bigger than the previous ones, so it was naturally very powerful. He took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate crazily.

"As if I were here in person!" Zheng Yi said in a low voice, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.
The king's aura rushed straight into the sky, and his whole body suddenly burst into dazzling golden light. Even the spiritual energy in his body became several times purer in an instant. The spiritual energy in his body was as vast as the abyss of the sea.

Such a powerful spiritual energy entered Liehuo's body, almost making him lose control. This spiritual power surged like a flood that broke through a dam, rushing through his meridians.

Liehuo groaned, endured the severe pain, and immediately poured all the spiritual energy into the Xuanfeng Burning Heart Cover.

In an instant, a golden light appeared before my eyes.

The entire Black Phoenix Burning Heart Cover seemed to be coated with a layer of gold. The phoenix pattern on the cover suddenly came alive and made a clear phoenix cry. The flames on the fire curtain changed from red to brilliant gold, and the temperature suddenly increased, even the surrounding air was distorted.

The next moment, the eye thrown by the Eye Demon hit the Black Phoenix Burning Heart Shield heavily again.

The entire space was shaken at the moment of impact. Just as Liehuo had expected, the Eye Demon's attack this time was much more terrifying than the last time. The shock wave generated by the eyeball explosion swept in all directions like a tsunami.

The entire Black Phoenix Heart Burning Shield was deformed by the big eyeball. The golden flame curtain sank, forming a huge funnel shape. The phoenix pattern on the surface of the shield wailed in pain, and the golden light became much dimmer.

Under normal circumstances, the magic weapon of Fiery Fire would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the extraterritorial demons.

But with Zheng Yi's help, his Black Phoenix Burning Heart Shield became much tougher than usual.

Although it was severely deformed, it still maintained the shape of the cover. The golden flame burned tenaciously, evaporating all the corrosive liquid.

However, this thing didn't last long. Soon cracks appeared on the gold, and fine cracks spread like a spider web.

Soon cracks appeared all over the Black Phoenix Burning Heart Cover, and golden fragments began to peel off from the fire curtain.

Wow!
All the gold shattered and fell from the sky.

Countless golden fragments sparkled brightly in the sunlight, as if it was raining golden rain.

The fragments fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and turned into golden light and dissipated in the air.

As the golden light shattered, the Fiery Black Phoenix Burning Heart Shield also lost all its luster and fell to the ground like scrap metal.

The cover that once shone with colorful lights was now dull and the phoenix pattern on the surface had been shattered, no longer recognizable in its original form.

Liehuo hurriedly took back the broken magic weapon, stroked the cracks with his fingers, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

After all, this was his masterpiece that he had spent countless efforts on, but now it was destroyed.

For people from other sects, if the magic weapon is damaged in battle, it is basically useless.

However, what they, the Lihuo Sect, are best at is refining magical weapons.

As the leading weapon refining sect in the Eastern Wilds, they have plenty of ways to give broken magical weapons a new lease of life.

Even if it cannot be repaired at all, it can be recycled and used to repair other magical instruments.

The protective device is ineffective.

They could no longer stop it, and the extraterritorial demon used its magic energy to control the eyeball monster. The pupil of the huge single eye in the sky suddenly contracted, and the red mist-like magic energy once again established a connection with the eyeball monster.

The monster, which was already covered in wounds and on the verge of collapse under Jian Shisan's attack, recovered in the blink of an eye.

The wounds deep enough to see the bone healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the dull single eye once again glowed with a fierce light.

The long arm swung out suddenly and hit Jian Shisan.

The attack came suddenly and swiftly. The monster's arm left a shadow in the air and went straight to Jian Shisan's chest with a whistling sound.

He was forced to quickly block with his sword, but the force of the blow was far beyond his imagination. Both he and his sword were knocked far away, flying backwards like a kite with a broken string, and hit the ground heavily.

In the dust, Jian Shisan stood up quickly, but a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. (End of this chapter)
