Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

Xiaoyang Valley.

Three thousand feet underground in this place lies the most intense Earth Core Mother Fire.

According to the Universe Treasures, both the Divine Blade Heavenly Cry and the Holy Halberd Divine Sigh were forged with the Earth's core Mother Fire, which is why they contain intense holy energy and can inflict great damage on the demon race.

Yanmo Hanba had no doubts... He believed in the weight of his favor, and he believed that Beichen Yuanhuang would not dare to joke about his favor.

So he brought Teng Xielang and Shesheng Tongzi, the two generals, to Xiaoyanggu to destroy the sword.

Unbeknownst to him, at this moment, Gui Liang Tianxia was leading Yan Guiren and Nao Huandian to the Magnetic Heart Source. Nao Huandian used a peculiar brainwave technique to hypnotize Gui Zhi, allowing him to break the Demon Realm's seal on the Holy Halberd, and then had Yan Guiren use a unique method to remove the Holy Halberd from the Magnetic Heart Source.

Kuanglong laughed and ran far away... After Guizhi regained consciousness, he stabbed Guizhi to death.

Subsequently, Yu Renfeijing and Yan Guiren, who had been lying in wait for a long time and had developed the best tacit understanding, arrived at Xiaoyang Valley one step ahead of the Demon Realm.

"Demon Lord, I have a feeling this journey will not be peaceful."

When Yama and Hanba arrived at Xiaoyang Valley with their two generals, Heng and Ha, they heard Heng speak in this manner.

"No matter what mysteries they may be, I will unravel them with my own strength!"

At this moment, Yama Hanba's confidence was off the charts... The Emei sect's rise to power is bound to decline, and isn't the same true for the Demon Lord?

With Lian Emei's death, her suppression of Yanmo Hanba disappeared. Yanmo Hanba's rebound after enduring extreme pressure made him complacent.

"Tengxie, Shesheng, you two wait outside the valley. I'm going to destroy the sword!"

Teng Xie didn't speak again, but like She Sheng, he silently bid farewell to the Demon Lord.

Then, Teng Xie took a deep breath and looked at She Sheng beside him... Dao Ji Kan Mo, others on the righteous path also have demons to fight.

"You foolish little brother, I told you to bring the Thunder Wolf Beast, but you wouldn't listen! You disobedient brother!"

The Thunder Wolf Beast is a unique species of demon wolf from the Demon Realm, born with the ability to summon lightning, which is the perfect match for She Sheng's cultivation. However, after She Sheng achieved the goal of killing monks to gain enlightenment and his power greatly increased, he no longer wanted to rely on external forces, and he kept the Thunder Wolf Beast as a pet.

"You really have a feeling something's going to happen?"

"...I know something's going to happen, be careful!"

Teng Xie was on his guard when he sensed a mysterious magical fluctuation, followed by a feeling of being surrounded by mist!

Then there was a spatial fluctuation. Teng Xie dispersed the mist with a palm strike and realized that he had been teleported ten miles away!

Standing around him were four people: the ethereal fairy Tan Wuyu, Emperor Xuanzong Liuxianqisan, Crimson Clouds, Green Mountain Journey, and White Snowfall.

"These are all old acquaintances, three Daoists. It's been a long time. Do you still remember the Demon Realm's vanguard that slaughtered alongside the Demon Lord and the Empress?"

While greeting him, Tengxie used a secret technique to summon the Black Mist Demon Dragon. He did not bless himself, but instead gave the dragon an order to find Shesheng so that he could sense its presence and observe Shesheng's situation at any time.

As for his side...

He was not nervous at all and believed that he could handle the situation without using the dragon clone.

This wasn't arrogance on his part, but rather a clear understanding that of the Xuanzong Six Strings group, only the String Master Cang was a peerless master. The other five Strings couldn't be considered mere fillers; they were simply background figures for the String Master.

Teng Xie clearly sensed that even Chi Yunran, the strongest among the three strings, was slightly inferior to his original self, and Bai Xuepiao and Cui Shanxing were not even first-rate.

Add to that Tan Wuyu, who was recently severely injured by Yama Hanba.

Teng Xie was very curious about what kind of preparations the four had made to have the confidence to suppress him.

"Hmph, how dare this demonic disciple be so arrogant! The blood feud of the Xuanzong Sect will be settled today!"

Among the six strings, Bai Xuepiao is the youngest, and a single teasing remark from Teng Xie made him blush slightly.

When enemies meet, their eyes burn with intense hatred. Even a Taoist who has achieved great cultivation cannot suppress his rage to subdue the demon who has killed countless comrades!

"Three Talents Mystic Sound Array, activate!"

The deep-seated hatred between them left the three Daoists with no intention of engaging in verbal sparring... They probably knew they couldn't win against this cunning and treacherous little devil, so they decided to just fight!

The three Taoists quickly retreated, forming a triangle. Chi Yunran sat cross-legged with a three-stringed zither on her knees, while Bai Xuepiao and Cui Shanxing each conjured a pipa. All three of them spun their fingers, and the strings immediately generated rolling sound waves that converged towards Teng Xie!

"I see, that's a good method."

Teng Xie's eye twitched slightly, and he tilted his head slightly, feigning being affected by the sound waves. Yet, he remained calm and composed, unleashing the Dao Yi Xie Nai. Pointing his spear at Tan Wuyu, he said, "Talented Yue, my power is limited, my senses are disturbed, and your injuries haven't healed yet. Let's see who can hold out longer."

"Teng Xielang, then let's hope your strength matches your confidence!"

Tan Wuyu was sharp-tongued, but he knew very well that he was not in his best condition... well, actually he was in a rather poor condition.

However, Fo Jianfenshuo was more seriously injured than him, Gui Liangtianxia was responsible for the Magnetic Core Source, and Huangfu Xiaochan withdrew from the martial arts world for unknown reasons (Universal Wonders).

The white-haired swordsman will join forces with Ye Xiaochai to deal with Shesheng Tongzi.

Tan Wuyu couldn't find any other help for the time being, so he had to step in himself.

However, he was not discouraged. He had fought countless battles and experienced countless dangers throughout his life. Even with less than 50% of his Yuan Gong, he was confident that he could fight Teng Xie to the end... Well, at least until the white-haired swordsman and Ye Xiaochai were dealt with and Shesheng Tongzi was dealt with, then he could come to their aid.

"A thousand streams of ice peaks!"

Tan Wuyu gathered his true energy and mastered the ultimate technique, while Teng Xie was equally uncompromising, unleashing his power to retaliate!

"Upside-down Slash!"

The sharp energy collided with the icy sword light, both shattering into pieces, yet they were evenly matched!

This is precisely the result of Tengxie leaving some of his strength untapped!

After Teng Xie completed a cultivation of killing to gain karma, his physical strength and foundation of cultivation have improved significantly. His own strength has already surpassed that of Yu Ren Fei Jing or Yan Gui Ren. How could he have attacked with all his might and only managed to draw with Tan Wu Yu, whose cultivation was less than 50% complete?

He only used half of his strength. The other half was enough for him to flash after making his move and rush straight towards Bai Xuepiao, the youngest and least established of the six Xuanzong disciples!

"Hmph! That demonic disciple won't succeed!"

Bai Xuepiao, though young and vigorous, was not arrogant. She cooperated with her two fellow cultivators and smoothly operated the formation. Not only did she gather the power of her two fellow cultivators to shoot a pure energy towards Teng Xie, but she also changed the direction and turned it into Chi Yunran's attack to directly face Teng Xie!

Bang!

Teng Xie swung his spear to deflect the incoming force, and was about to attack Chi Yunran when he saw Tan Wuyu attacking from behind!

"Moon Rainbow Flows Over the Mountain!"

"Mysterious Waves Without Limits!"

"Wrathful Whirlpool!"

With a pincer attack from both sides, Teng Xie unleashed his full power, his body spinning rapidly, creating a violent vortex. The three attacks collided instantly, generating tremendous force!

Just as Teng Xie felt his arm ache and his breath catch in his throat, Cui Shan Xing and Bai Xue Piao joined forces to make their move!
