"Roar--!!"

The Nine Nether Centipede King emitted a thunderous roar, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared in its crimson compound eyes.

It no longer dared to treat Tu Shanyue casually, as its entire body instantly erupted with overwhelming Demonic Qi.

The pitch-black energy wrapped around its massive body like a living entity, and in the blink of an eye, formed a hideous black Demon Armor.

On a distant hill, the Demon Race members who had been lurking for a long time witnessed this scene, and their faces showed disbelief.

"How could the Blood Race appear here?!"

"That Human Race! He actually dared to bring two Divine Patterns here."

"A rare opportunity! Now that the Blood Race is being held back by the King-level Fierce Beast, this is the best time to seize the Divine Pattern!"

The leading Demon Race member's eyes flashed with a fierce look: "Move now!"

Almost instantly, the group of Half-step Totem Level Demon Race experts reached a consensus.

They transformed into several black shadows and skillfully bypassed the battle area between Lilith and the Nine Nether Centipede King, approaching Gu Xing's location with astonishing Speed.

In their eyes, this human was only at Peak Commander level; as long as they got close, they could kill him in one strike.

However...

Long before entering the Qingqiu Race's territory, Gu Xing had already guessed there would surely be the Demon Race's presence.

A King-level Fierce Beast could not possibly cross mountains and rivers to attack the Qingqiu Race for no reason.

If there was no schemer behind this, Gu Xing simply would not believe it!

And the Qingqiu Race, long residing in Alternate Space, almost never made enemies with the outside world...

The only possible target against them is the Demon Race!

Therefore, there's no need to overthink the identity of the mastermind!

So, upon arriving at the Qingqiu Race at the first moment, Gu Xing instructed Liu Li and Vera to remain vigilant.

And now...

The moment the Demon Race made their move, Vera's Spiritual Power sensed the presence of these Demon Race figures.

Her emerald-green eyes suddenly focused:

"Master, a group of Half-step Totem Level Demon Race members are attacking us."

Given Liu Li and Vera's current strength, dealing with so many Half-step Totem Level Demon Race members was impossible.

But faced with such a situation, Gu Xing remained completely unflustered.

All of this was within his expectations!

At this moment, the battle between Lilith and the Nine Nether Centipede King also reached a critical point.

The next moment.

The Nine Nether Centipede King's massive body suddenly lunged forward, carrying terrifying force that seemed to tear through space as it pounced on Lilith.

However, at this moment, Lilith made a move that surprised everyone...

She did not confront the attack but instead turned into a blood-red shadow, dashing toward Gu Xing's direction!

And Gu Xing also, at this moment, had his entire nervous system stretched to the extreme.

Plan initiated!

Earlier, he had predicted the Demon Race would seize the opportunity to attack, and the response plan was already formulated:

Let Lilith take care of those Demon Race members with thunderous action, while he and Liu Li would block the Nine Nether Centipede King's strike!

With Lilith's current strength, as long as he and Liu Li could withstand the King-level Fierce Beast's strike.

During this time, these Demon Race members could be dealt with by Lilith!

"Liu Li!"

Gu Xing shouted, simultaneously utilizing his Soul-devouring Talent to continuously infuse his Power into Liu Li.

"Guardian Angel Form·Qi!"

Golden light instantly enveloped Liu Li, and twelve golden wings suddenly unfolded behind her!

The golden radiance instantly illuminated the entire battlefield.

[Divine Angels (Liu Li)]

[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]

[Level: Commander Tier Nine]

[Status: Guardian Angel Form]

[Power: 70000→560000]

[Constitution: 70000→560000]

[Spirit: 70000→560000]

[Speed: 70000→560000]

[Skills: Guardian Angel Form, Guardian Domain, Guardian Law]

But facing the fatal strike of the King-level Fierce Beast, this was far from enough!

"Liu Li, Divine Protection!"

The moment Gu Xing's command was issued, a massive golden shield suddenly unfolded, standing in front of the Nine Nether Centipede King.

"Guardian Domain·Full Release!"

"Guardian Law·Activate!"

Aside from the golden shield formed by Divine Protection, two more golden Shields of Protection appeared between the King-level Fierce Beast and Liu Li.

At the same time, Vera's Life Energy also reached Peak.

[Life Spirit (Vera)]

[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]

[Level: Commander Tier Nine]

[Status: In Heat (Heart of Nature defect-induced)]

[Power: 60000]

[Constitution: 60000]

[Spirit: 80000→640000]

[Speed: 60000]

[Skills: Life Spirit Form (including Natural Lament, Elf Monarchy, Life Blooming and other skills), Reincarnation, Life Domain, Life Law]

"Life Law!"

Vera cried out loudly, powerful Life Energy condensed before the golden shield, transforming into a jade-colored energy dragon that spiraled upward.

Despite going all out, Gu Xing's eyes still bore heavy gravity.

Liu Li's Divine Protection Shield could only withstand one attack.

If the Nine Nether Centipede King launched a second strike, defense would have to rely on Liu Li and Vera.

In essence, Gu Xing was gambling!

Gambling on the Nine Nether Centipede King only making one attack.

Gambling that if the King-level Fierce Beast launched a second attack, Liu Li and Vera would successfully fend it off.

And the various clans' life forms guarded behind Gu Xing looked toward the sky, all stunned.

They didn't understand why the powerful Blood Race would retreat but clearly knew...

If the Guardian Angel and Life Spirit in the sky couldn't stop the Nine Nether Centipede King's attack.

The Nine Nether Centipede King would break into their city.

Given their strength, even coming into contact with this King-level Fierce Beast would spell certain death.

On-site, only Tu Shanyue knew Gu Xing's purpose in doing this.

Although she was injured right now,...

The Qingqiu Race's powerful Spiritual Power still hadn't lost effectiveness.

She could sense that the group of Half-step Totem Level Demon Race members was now closing in on the Qingqiu Race.

Precisely because of this, she felt even more alarmed and fearful...

This human dared to use such a risky strategy!

"Too crazy..."

Although letting the Blood Ancestor deal with the Demon Race was the best choice, who could guarantee they could truly stop the King-level Fierce Beast's onslaught?

Once failed...

The consequences would be unimaginable!

At this moment.

Gu Xing was also enduring unparalleled pressure.

The situation was extremely critical, and taking such a risky approach was out of necessity.

Originally, the safest approach...

was for him not to bring any Guardian Beasts to participate in the Qingqiu Race's event, remaining uninvolved.

However...

Could he stand idly by and watch the Qingqiu Race be destroyed by this King-level Fierce Beast?

He couldn't!

Therefore, even at the risk of failing, he had to gamble.

As long as he won the gamble...

The Qingqiu Race could be saved!

The fierce figure of the Nine Nether Centipede King rapidly magnified within his pupils, and Gu Xing's clenched fists turned white at the knuckles.

When the massive shadow that obscured the sky and sun was less than a hundred meters from the shield, he suddenly shouted:

"Vera, do it!"

The Jade Giant Dragon let out a deafening roar, intertwined with the golden shield.
