"Lin Xiaofan, can you take all those people into the Mirror Realm?" Chen Hao asked Lin Xiaofan.

Lin Xiaofan rolled her eyes at Chen Hao, seemingly still angry with him. However, considering the bigger picture, she replied very seriously, "Yes!"

"Then hurry up and take everyone except for Ye Fei and me to the Mirror Realm! After that, lead them away from Six-Finger Mountain!"

"What about you and Ye Fei? Are you staying here to deal with so many black lion beasts?"

Lin Xiaofan looked at Chen Hao with concern. She shook her head and said, "No, it's too dangerous. If we're going to leave, we should all leave together!"

"Don't worry, Ye Fei and I will be fine!"

Lin Xiaofan still shook her head, her frown deepening. She was just about to speak when suddenly, a series of loud noises erupted, and numerous stones of varying sizes began sliding down from the mountain.

The two looked up at the mountain, only to see the black lion beasts prying large boulders loose, many of them already holding the stones above their heads.

They planned to crush Chen Hao and his group to death on the mountain road with the boulders.

"Quick!" Chen Hao urged.

"Roar!" Lion roars continued unceasingly, followed by the black lion beasts hurling the boulders down from the summit.

At that moment, a mirror was thrown from Lin Xiaofan's hand, tossed high into the air.

When the mirror reached its peak and fell into Chen Hao's hands, all the Onmyoji and members of the Superpower Organization, except for Chen Hao and Ye Fei, had already disappeared.

After catching the mirror, Chen Hao and Ye Fei dodged the falling boulders while leaping toward the summit.

"Boom, boom, boom~" The boulders smashed onto the road, making loud noises.

The black lion beasts on the mountaintop still looked down expectantly at the carnage below, but instead saw a deep black light and a pale blue light rapidly approaching.

The black lion beast leader was startled, realizing that the deep black light was coming straight for him, and immediately raised the bronze greatsword in his hand.

With a "bang!"

Chen Hao's Nether King's World-Slaying Blade clashed with the bronze greatsword of the black lion beast leader again.

"Roar!" The black lion beast leader let out a bellow.

Anticipating this, Chen Hao became a high-speed blur and appeared behind the head of the black lion beasts.

Another "bang!" sounded as the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade collided with the bronze greatsword once more.

Chen Hao's eyes shone with two bright lights, astonished that the black lion beast leader had been able to enhance its speed and reaction so greatly in such a short time!

"Is it because of that glowing tree?" Chen Hao couldn't help but think.

Just then, a heart-wrenching roar came from beside him as Ye Fei killed a black lion beast.

However, a dazzling silver light suddenly shot up from below, entering the body of the dead black lion beast, and in an instant, its eyes opened.

"Ah!" Chen Hao was shocked. The black lion beast had revived, just like the leader he was currently facing.

After dodging two fierce strikes from the black lion beast leader's sword, he looked back in the direction from where the silver light had come. Below in the valley was the lake.

The lake where the glowing tree stood.

"It's definitely that tree!" thought Chen Hao.

Immediately, he disappeared from in front of the black lion beast leader and in a blink, he was above the glowing tree.

Raising the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade in his hand, he let out a loud shout and swung down at the tree.

Before the blade itself could touch the tree, a burst of even brighter silver light flashed from it, followed by a mysterious invisible force surging out, repelling the descending Nether King's World-Slaying Blade and Chen Hao along with it.

Flung into mid-air, Chen Hao somersaulted and once again raised the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade to strike at the glowing tree.

This time, he infused the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade with enough of the Nether King's Power!

However, just like before, before the blade even hit the tree, Chen Hao was blown away by that mysterious and invisible force.

Just then, he heard the excited cheers of the black lion beasts from up the mountain, seemingly mocking his stupidity!

After sighing, he instantly teleported to Ye Fei's side, who was surrounded by the black lion beasts, and took Ye Fei into the Nether Acupoint with him.

"Ye Fei, that glowing tree can revive the black lion beasts!" Chen Hao said to Ye Fei, "To deal with those black lion beasts, we must destroy that tree first!"

"I saw you wield the blade to chop that tree just now."

Chen Hao grunted, "That tree has very strong and ancient mystical powers; I can't damage it at all!"

Ye Fei frowned and busied himself thinking of a good way to deal with the tree.

After a moment of silence, Chen Hao spoke with a tone of helplessness, "Let's get back to the harbor first and consult with Hua Shan and the others to see if they have any good ideas."

Ye Fei nodded.

Chen Hao tore a rift in the Nether Acupoint and then led Ye Fei out of it.

When they emerged, the two were already outside of Liuzhi Mountain, hovering above the entrance on the north side of the Ring Mountain Road.

Few kilometers to the west, a long line of trucks, rescuing the trapped residents of Hualian Town, formed a lengthy convoy on their swift return to the harbor.

"You two are out as well!" Hua Shan suddenly appeared before them.

"Has Lin Xiaofan led the others out of the Mirror Realm?" Chen Hao asked.

Hua Shan nodded, "They're out, and now they've taken off in the vehicles."

As Hua Shan finished speaking, a bell-like roar of a lion suddenly erupted.

The three looked down at Liuzhi Mountain to see countless black lion beasts sprinting and leaping amongst the mountain peaks, heading towards the direction of the rescue convoy.

"Not good!" Chen Hao exclaimed, "Those black lion beasts are going after the rescue convoy; we need to stop them right away!"

With that said, Chen Hao descended onto the summit of the first peak of Liuzhi Mountain, standing in the way of all the black lion beasts.

He raised the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade in his hand, his gaze was like a torch, exuding the demeanor of a lone warrior guarding the pass!

All the black lion beasts stopped their advance and then parted, making way for the leader of the black lion beasts who walked up to them brazenly carrying a bronze greatsword.

Ye Fei and Hua Shan also landed next to Chen Hao one after another.

"Hua Shan, go and notify the convoy, tell everyone to gather together, and have Lin Xiaofan ready to take everyone into the Mirror Realm at any moment. It doesn't matter if the vehicles are destroyed; the main thing is to keep the people alive," Chen Hao told Hua Shan.

Hua Shan agreed and then disappeared.

"Ye Fei, don't you have your own sword?"

"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded.

"Then you deal with the leader of the black lion beasts, lure it away, and I'll handle the rest of the black lion beasts!"

Ye Fei grunted in agreement and turned into a pale blue lightning bolt, rushing towards the face of the black lion beast leader.

The leader of the black lion beasts' attention had been fixed on Chen Hao, not expecting Ye Fei to suddenly attack. It was just about to ward off with its sword when its nose was fiercely struck by Ye Fei.

The leader of the black lion beasts let out an angry grunt; Ye Fei's strike didn't hurt it, but it did cause pain.

"Ding!" A crisp sound of a sword rang out!

A flash of sword light!

Unknown to them, Ye Fei's hand was now holding a sword emitting a pale blue glow.

The sword pierced straight between the eyes of the leader of the black lion beasts.
