The mirrored images of various battle teams became completely unclear, the scene blurry.

Manxi was greatly shocked by this, furiously ordering people to repeatedly contact Dongguo Shou.

Under the new offensive, it brought considerable trouble to Tong Mingshan.

Compared to the previous attacks from each Immortal Mountain, the onslaught of the rainstorm-like rocks couldn't compare, and any cultivation reaching the Earth Immortal Realm could defend against it with ease.

If it were used previously against Luo Que and Su Jikuan, it would have been basically ineffective.

But for Tong Mingshan, who was locked in a speed battle, it was quite problematic.

No matter how nimble his turns were, he couldn't keep turning under such a dense attack, while Dongguo Shou had no such concern; he seemed to teleport, nearly unaffected by the chaotic rocks.

With the combat speed so fast, it was difficult to distinguish between falling stones and the sudden emergence of Dongguo Shou, instantly putting Tong Mingshan in danger.

And it instantly struck out Tong Mingshan's fighting spirit.

Having dragged on for so long, Tong Mingshan estimated that Wu Jinliang and the others should have escaped far already, so he immediately fled, forcefully smashing through the house-sized, meteor-like boulders trying to break out of the bombardment range.

Yet, it was too late; reality was harsher than he imagined.

He could spar with Dongguo Shou in terms of speed, but against the 'Word and Law Follow' Divine Skills, running speed was incomparable; Dongguo Shou could block him anytime.

More terrifying, wherever Dongguo Shou went, the power of the 'Inch and Mile' Divine Skills followed closely.

In other words, wherever Tong Mingshan fled, the dense bombardment like Heavenly Punishment followed, coupled with Dongguo Shou's attack, driving Tong Mingshan into a life-or-death situation.

Dongguo Shou also noticed the frantic communication from the Mother-child Talisman, but he didn't look because he could guess who was contacting him and why, as for the consequences, he thought he had enough reasons to explain.

The biggest reason, of course, was his background!

In the midst of chaos comes disaster, while dodging, Tong Mingshan finally let out a muffled groan.

Suddenly slashed by Dongguo Shou, Tong Mingshan quickly turned to avoid, but still felt the intense pain in his arm, then felt the lightening of his shoulder, and sensed the drain of his physical strength.

Without looking, he knew what had happened; his left arm had been cut off.

He couldn't afford to be distracted to look because Dongguo Shou's fatal moves continued, missing just one would not be just a matter of an arm but his life.

All he could do was cast a spell to seal the wound on his severed arm.

Despite this, it was hard to hide the bitterness rising in his heart; with Dongguo Shou's murderous stance, he doubted if he could still avoid ten swords from Dongguo Shou.

With a strong will to survive, he desperately fled, already beaten to the point of being unable to fight back.

Another period of time passed, gradually feeling the sea of bitterness was endless, might as well give up!

Fortunately, Shi Chun did not give up on him; fortunately, Shi Chun made a decisive decision in time, sending help nearby.

Just as he was nearly in despair, a strange rumbling sound charged in from an angle, a figure with faint light and shadows hurried in.

It was Han Bao, Han Bao wrapped in a frenzy of light and shadows, who rushed directly in, with both hammers re-equipped in hand, but no one knew how many Big Melon Hammers he carried.

The dense meteor shower bombardment in the air, Han Bao didn't even bother to block, just charging forward under the bombardment, the boulders hitting him couldn't even break the insane mode shield around him, only rippling out waves.

The force dissipated outside his body, with very little affecting him directly.

His eyes glowing blue like entering a no-man's land, but even he couldn't keep up with the speed of the two, thus casting a spell and shouting: "Han Bao is here, Mr. Tong, quickly come to me!"

Earlier, when he first encountered the Mingshan Sect group, he disdained to call them brothers, but now it's different, or he wouldn't have appeared here in such a hurry.

A Tang Mingshan transformed into a stream of light felt like grasping at a lifesaver, regardless of whether it was effective or not, he immediately zigzagged over.

Seizing the opportunity, Han Bao preemptively swung a hammer, almost hitting Dongguo Shou as he flickered to attack Tong Mingshan.

With a furrowed brow, Dongguo Shou disappeared instantly, reappearing behind Han Bao, slashing downward with his sword.

But to be the one invited by Mulan Jin to protect her daughter was no child's play; though the Han Family's influence and strength were far inferior to the Carefree Sect, in the Cultivation World, standing firm and distinguished as a family was no small feat.

When the sudden sword strike touched Han Bao's frenzied shield, the attack slowed, Han Bao calmly swung his hammer fiercely in return.

Knowing the hammer's power, Dongguo Shou dared not risk mutual destruction, quickly retracting the sword, his figure barely vanished before the hammer shadow touched him.

Finding the sword ineffective, realizing he couldn't deal with this opponent's turtle shell at the moment, Dongguo Shou immediately gave up entangling with him, flashing to attack Tong Mingshan again.

The launched melon hammer flew back through the air, grabbed swiftly again by Han Bao, who shouted loudly: "The chaos of the Demon Path, Mo Shiliu chased us before, Li Hongjiu helped us eliminate demons, now you, Dongguo Shou, have stealthily intervened, must be related to the Demon Path, speak, who exactly are you?"

As these words fell, Dongguo Shou's cold hum echoed, "Don't force connections here, that kind of dirty water can't be splashed on me."

Han Bao loudly declared: "I have identified the Demon Path's chaos, identified that we are saving Li Hongjiu to eliminate demons, and you still attack your own people, who is suspicious if you're not? Yes or no, the Xuanji Token Master will investigate clearly, enter the Stargazing Pavilion and find your own way to explain!"

Suddenly, the rumbling bombardment sound disappeared, the stones halted in mid-air vanished into thin air, and the starry sky above reappeared.

This sudden tranquility is quite magical.

Dongguo Shou also appeared opposite Han Bao, ignoring Tong Mingshan who transformed into a stream of light and departed. With the sword slanting in his hand, he said, "Relying on the Xuanji Token Master's backing, does that allow you to arbitrarily make accusations? It's you who attacked me first!"

Han Bao said, "I said saving Li Hongjiu is to eradicate demons. But you, the Command Center did not know you were coming here; you secretly deceived the Command Center to arrive. Why stealthily approach your own people, can you explain clearly?"

He was not spouting nonsense; he genuinely believed that saving Li Hongjiu was demon eradication because Wu Jinliang had indeed told him this.

And he believed it to be true, as he personally experienced the preceding events of Demon Path intervention.

On his way here, he also sent messages to Mulan Jin to verify, but has yet to receive a reply from Mulan Jin, not knowing whether Mulan Jin hasn't seen the message or what is going on.

Dongguo Shou pursed his lips slightly. The previous reason for rushing toward the Mingshan Sect group was truly hard to explain; it wouldn't be surprising if suspected after a Demon Path intervention. Calmly, he said, "Battle of Great Pardon, why would Demon Path intervene?"

Han Bao: "I don't know; only that Mo Shiliu has been captured and sent to the Xuanji Token Master's place. If you want to know, inquire yourself. In short, people of the same team killing each other is not good!"

"Hmm." Dongguo Shou coldly snorted, sheathed his sword, and said, "I could have taken the opportunity to deal with Luo Que and Su Jikuan; now it's too late, I've revealed myself, it'll be difficult to encounter them again."

After speaking, he stretched lazily, cast a spell, and shouted, "Kitty."

Soon, a white shadow dashed over. The big cat soared through the air, as usual the gentle and adorable giant, seemingly unaffected by anything.

Dongguo Shou floated up and rode, saying "go," and the big cat carried him away.

Han Bao watched him leave and breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, this one heeded advice and left, otherwise... he always sensed an underlying threat in luring Dongguo Shou to the sea.

Seeing the battle disperse, Manxi before the mirror image breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to praise Han Bao for his successful persuasion to Mulan Jin.

Mulan Jin did not respond, presumably knowing what rhetoric Han Bao used to persuade because he saw Han Bao verify the information with a message, noticing that Shi Chun's group truly dared utter anything.

The crux of the problem: can he tell Han Bao that Shi Chun and his group are spouting nonsense, suggesting not to rescue, etc.?

Currently, they don't know Dongguo Shou severed one of Tong Mingshan's arms.

In the West Ox Team Command Center, as the mirror image self-carnage concluded, seeing the result was not as hoped, Commander Niu Qian's face turned grave.

The leading strength of the five teams abruptly revealed their depths; the strength shown by the Heavenly Court Team was too formidable — a single expert equating to thousands of troops, how to battle afterward?

Not only he, but all teams were mired in similar concerns.

A figure floated to the high stage from Xun Gate, after saluting Niu Qian, transmitted, "The Royal Court has a message for the Commander, advising not to worry, and quickly find Feng Yin. Feng Yin can suppress Dongguo Shou; once found, the other three families will contact the Commander, can ally to first eliminate Dongguo Shou, then each vie for supremacy later."

Turning swiftly, Niu Qian's eyes brightened. Upon hearing, he understood — the Four Great Royal Courts likely had covert communication facing this situation.

Finally confronted, Wu Jinliang brought the severely injured Li Hongjiu, and Tong Mingshan with a severed arm, to meet Shi Chun.

That Feng Yin's token, Wu Jinliang handed it to Shi Chun personally, the price paid for this token was enormous.

Seeing Tong Mingshan, blood from white hair severed an arm looking quite disheveled, Shi Chun was silent; Wu Jinliang had informed him, knowing Tong Mingshan suffered for rescuing Li Hongjiu.

No comforting words spoken, nor avenging ones. After some silent gazing at each other, Shi Chun nodded, softly said, "It's good to be alive."

Then turned and walked to the unable-to-stand only laying Li Hongjiu's side, checked with a spell, confirmed no life-threatening concern, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Chi inquiring everyone's detailed account during the incident.

Beside, Situ Zhen casually dealing with Wu Jinliang's teasing, silently observing the group.

A while pacing back and forth alone, Shi Chun suddenly summoned Wu Jinliang for a whispered exchange, then beckoned Tong Mingshan aside for a word.

Away from others, Shi Chun asked Tong Mingshan, "How's the injury?"

Tong Mingshan bitterly smiled, "Problem too big, not too small either, an arm missing."

Shi Chun slightly shook his head, saying, "No, your injury is severe, you need to be severely injured, need to publicly faint unconscious..."

After his soft murmuring, though Tong Mingshan puzzled over the aim, he complied, suddenly collapsing unconscious, prompting a commotion, causing a crowd to gather.

Wu Jinliang loudly squatting for Tong Mingshan's inspection.

Shi Chun investigated, produced the Mother-child Talisman to contact Mulan Jin, bitterly denouncing Dongguo Shou's actions, saying Dongguo Shou severely injured Tong Mingshan, nearly dead.

Soon, the Heavenly Court Team's Heavenly Mirror mirror image scene switched here, seeing a crowd guarding an arm-missing unconscious Tong Mingshan, Manxi and Mulan Jin's expressions turned unsightly; something unseen before as those two shifted too swiftly.

They witnessed, and other families' mirror images swiftly switched to confirm.

Simultaneously, Shi Chun discreetly summoned Situ Zhen, secretly handed Feng Yin's token and softly instructed, "Zhener, take this token and run, pretend you stole my thing, stealthily slip away, heading directly to the map's Land of Extreme Abyss."

Land of Extreme Abyss? Situ Zhen's heart stirred slightly, eyes gleamed with feigned curiosity, "What to do there?"

Shi Chun softly chided, "Obey, I'll find you later."
