As the wind blades approached, it sliced off a strand of his hair.

Xuan Ji struggled to respond, "Your Majesty...it was cut very symmetrically, but your new hairstyle...it's triggering my OCD."

Sheng Lingyuan: "..."

What kind of gibberish was he speaking in this foreign language?

"Your sword has turned into a golden body in the Chiyuan, and after three thousand years, I have finally learned some new tricks... I can transform into so many things now...hell, it's really taking a toll...aren't I impressive?" Xuan Ji felt like he was being buried alive, quite literally...

The dangerous seals underground sensed the presence of the descendant of the Vermilion Bird and began to stir, waiting for the opportunity to escape from the damaged array.

Gasping for breath, Xuan Ji continued, "To be honest, I didn't really want to deal with you just now... Did you know? I might as well just disappear. That way, you won't have to struggle with how to handle me."

Sheng Lingyuan's sword, crafted from his demonic power, transformed into a long whip in his hand, and he swung it with the intention of slicing through the sky. Dozens of wind blades and steel swords were shattered by his whip, and even a bolt of lightning was cut in half by him.

"Get lost!"

The figure in the green robe, now a white blur, turned to run but was struck by the whip and nearly dissipated on the spot.

In the twenty-ninth level below ground, Gu Yuexi's spiritual perception was surrounded by anxious inquiries from all sides.

The message conveyed by Dan Lin, a spiritual-type ability user, was clearer than that of others. Gu Yuexi quickly understood her meaning - Dan Lin wanted her to use her "All-seeing eye" to scan the area so that others could judge where she was trapped and rescue her.

Gu Yuexi firmly refused, her "All-seeing eye" fixed on the control room - no, open the main control room first!

Dan Lin was furious: "At least let us see where you're injured!"

Gu Yuexi, trained by Yan Qiushan himself, had not learned any good qualities.

Her stubbornness was like a copy and paste of that stone's temperament, her gaze unmoving: "Don't waste time."

Dan Lin's heart was burning with anger, thinking to herself that the code name "Wind God" should just be changed to "Blocks of Wood"!

She couldn't waste a second and, using Gu Yuexi's "All-seeing eyes," rushed towards the control room.

At the same time, Xuan Ji's divine consciousness finally understood the situation on the 29th floor, which had sunk underground.

"Damn it, the control room has leaked a piece of the tower base from the Southern Tower! Where did they dig this thing up from? Prairie dogs? Your Majesty..."

The self-proclaimed Demon King, a big eater, had devoured three heavenly demons in one bite, but unfortunately, those three were not much of a match even when they were alive.

On stage, they had no chemistry and could only sabotage each other.

He ate too quickly and, after a short time, showed signs of indigestion.

He had already been spun into a top by Sheng Lingyuan.

Just then, the heavenly thunder, which had been confused between striking the two, finally figured out who its target should be, and gathered all its strength and struck at Sheng Lingyuan with its full might.

The whip made of Sheng Lingyuan's demonic energy was shattered by the lightning, and the thunder struck him in an instant.

Sheng Lingyuan happened to hear Xuan Ji's words and was caught in a dilemma. If he didn't dodge, he could endure the pain, but if he did, Xuan Ji would be implicated thanks to that Mountain Vow... If he did dodge, the thunder would strike the ground and turn this dangerous building into a furnace, where not even a fly could escape alive.

As a heavenly demon produced in the feudal era, Sheng Lingyuan didn't think that sacrificing a few lives for the greater good was a big deal. However, he also understood that Xuan Ji didn't think the same way.

If he didn't dodge, Xuan Ji would be hurt physically, and if he did, he would hurt him emotionally.

"This birdman is such a troublemaker, born to be defeated!"

In a flash of lightning, there was a loud noise from the ground.

Dan Lin sneaked into the control room and successfully activated the final protection mode. An invisible large net suddenly rose from the ground, like a big plastic film, covering the devastated floor of the hall.

Sheng Lingyuan was in a critical moment and instantly moved several yards away. The thunder clashed with the ground and hit the "big net", turning into nothingness with a loud noise.

The underground temperature dropped sharply, and the field agents only had ten minutes to escape.

Dan Lin finally "saw" Gu Yuexi, but only took a glance. Half of Gu Yuexi's shoulder was soaked in blood, and she lost consciousness and her eyesight disappeared.

With just one glance, the field agents remembered each other's distance and quickly checked with each other through their mental perception. They felt their way to Gu Yuexi's side and deduced her position.

At this moment, the extreme cold mode began to spread outward. A cold breath crossed the blockade of their senses, and the agents felt both shocked and delighted as they experienced pain.

This meant that they could at least lift Gu Yuexi. Without physical sensation, it was impossible to successfully perform the "grabbing" action.

However, at the same time, this also meant that the 29th floor's low temperature was not suitable for human survival.

With the precious yet dangerous pain, the group quickly led Gu Yuexi out, fleeing the dark and endless underground 29th floor.

As their senses returned, Xuan Ji's voice echoed in the narrow safety passage, "It's too late, grab on!"

Shards of metallic feathers flew out, gathering together to form an iron chain with an odd temperature, sweeping towards them. The field agents instinctively grabbed onto the chain, forming a chain of people and were pulled out of the remaining safety passage in a chaotic manner.

The safety passage continued to collapse behind them, and the field agents, who had just regained their hearing, screamed so loudly that they and their colleagues were deafened and blinded by the sudden noise...

It was Heavenly thunder.

As the iron chains pulled the exhausted field agents from the ground, silence returned to the underground. The super-low temperature mode was activated, freezing all the dangerous materials that had burst out of the box in their original positions.

Fortunately, the few people protected by the Vermilion Bird Sword Spirit were not turned into ice popsicles. One Wind God shivered and sneezed, unexpectedly spitting out a broken tooth that had been knocked out somewhere.

The iron chains rolled in mid-air, and dazzling wings suddenly appeared, illuminating half of the sky as Xuan Ji appeared out of nowhere.

The self-proclaimed Demon King saw that the situation was not good and turned to run, but Sheng Lingyuan had already woven a large net with magic. In the midst of the lightning, he suddenly curled his finger and caught the white shadow in the net.

Just then, a sudden change occurred!

With a "crack" sound, it was as if the ice on the river had melted, and Xuan Ji looked down in surprise.

He saw the frosted ground, which had been in ultra-low temperature mode, rapidly heating up.

The frost marks seemed to be rolled over by fire, but they didn't melt.

They directly sublimated!

But he was careful not to leave a spark on the ground.

Dan Lin's face changed suddenly: "Thawing agent!"

Xuan Ji asked, "What?"

"Someone used a thawing agent to break the ultra-low temperature mode... It's impossible. The thawing agent is a level one confidential item in the bureau!"

At this point, there was no time to investigate who and how the thawing agent was dropped into the control room.

Xuan Ji hurriedly asked, "How long does it take to thaw..."

He didn't even finish his sentence, and he already knew the answer. The ultra-low temperature mode was not a natural cold, but a special ability that could freeze and thaw in an instant.

As the buildings and formations underground were completely damaged between freezing and thawing, dangerous items that were previously dormant tore open the ground and flew towards the human world in revenge.

Among them was the Southern Return Tower, which deprived all senses, the Bloodsucking Stone that sucked the life out of all living things, and the Earth Dragon that specialized in destroying foundations and could cause the entire city to collapse within five minutes...

They had no room for turning back and charged towards all directions.

Xuan Ji didn't even have time to speak, he had no choice but to make a decisive move.

He formed hand seals and boldly invoked the power of the Vermilion Bird, calling forth the true flame that could burn everything to ashes.

The white light of the departing fire was like a snowstorm, as if it wanted to brush away the entire world.

The artifacts that hadn't had time to leave the ground were all swept up by the flames.

Sheng Lingyuan, who was connected to Chiyuan, was immediately suppressed by the Fire-keeper and lost his strength. The sealed 'demon king' took advantage of the opportunity to break free and escape, and the net that was pulled to an extreme rebounded and turned on Sheng Lingyuan himself.

Without hesitation, Xuan Ji pounced on him.

Just as Zhang Zhao, who had risked his life to come to support, arrived, he pressed pause without any hesitation.

In a one-second break, Xuan Ji rolled out with Sheng Lingyuan.

Immediately after, fiery arrows and black mist intertwined and fell like sunlight, causing fine golden threads to jump on the accumulated pools of water.

Xuan Ji let out a hiss.

After a moment of hesitation, Sheng Lingyuan's face suddenly darkened - since there was the Mountain Vow and Sea Oath, whose injury was it anyway?

Why should he take the hit for him?

His gaze slowly fell on Xuan Ji's elbow. When Xuan Ji landed, his clothes and elbow were scraped, but it was just a minor flesh wound that immediately healed, not worth mentioning.

However...there was no similar wound on Sheng Lingyuan's body.
