The sword plunged directly between the eyes of the beast leader, the black lion.

Ye Fei withdrew the sword, and a pool of green blood gushed forth from the wound between the eyes of the black lion. At the same time, the beast let out a painful howl.

The roar, imbued with immense power, sent Ye Fei, who hung in front of the black lion's eyes, flying!

Having been flung into the air, Ye Fei thrust his body forward, unleashing a pale blue Merfolk Power from within him toward the still-pained beast leader.

And his sword suddenly melted away like ice turning into water, vanishing from his hand.

The black lion beast leader, with a giant sword, blocked the incoming Merfolk Power while releasing a lion's roar so powerful it could make the whole Hua Shan tremble.

At this moment, a mass of pale blue Merfolk Power emanated from Ye Fei, expanding and surrounding him within its glow.

Ye Fei flung out his left hand, pointing at the black lion's leader. In that instant, countless pale blue swords shot out from him, raining down like a tempest on the black lions.

"Amazing!" Chen Hao exclaimed, witness to Ye Fei's true strength for the first time.

With roars, the black lion beast leader continually swung its sword, knocking away all incoming blades, while those black lions around him scattered in all directions, avoiding disaster. The majority, however, were struck down and killed.

At that time, toward the southeast, Chen Hao glimpsed a dazzling silver light, racing towards them like the invisible footprint of a colossal beast, stepping over the undulating terrain.

That cluster of silver light originated from a glowing tree, headed to resurrect the black lions that Ye Fei had slain.

Suddenly, inspiration struck in Chen Hao's mind! He harnessed the Dust Power within him, summoning a massive golden light column at the precise moment, accurately striking the cluster of silver light.

In an instant, he commanded the dust within the column to solidify!

To his delight, as the light column solidified, the cluster of silver light below also stumbled in its progress.

As long as that mass of silver light did not reach the dead black lions, they would not be resurrected, and the beast leader's wounds would not heal.

However, Chen Hao's joy lasted only a few seconds as countless clusters of silver light converged.

The glowing tree was matching his vigor!

Seeing so many clusters of silver light, Chen Hao, unable to summon an equal amount of light columns, felt disheartened. He could only watch helplessly as the light revived and healed the black lions.

Once the wound between the eyes had healed, the black lion beast leader, wielding a bronze greatsword, pounced towards Ye Fei.

Ye Fei again produced a pale blue sword in his hand, blocking the leader's first strike. He was then sent flying by the subsequent lion's roar, tumbling into the forest.

The black lion beast leader turned back, roaring at the other black lions, pointing its bronze greatsword toward the lengthy rescue convoy in the distance—toward the farther military camp and headquarters at the port.

The other black lions responded with roars, some charging toward the target indicated by their leader, while the rest set their sights on Chen Hao. The black lion beast leader continued to handle Ye Fei, who had fallen into the woods.

Watching dozens of black lions bypass him in an instant, Chen Hao panicked.

He first unleashed a Nether King's Power to take out the black lions lunging at him, then turned and cast Nether King's Maw at the group rushing towards the rescue convoy and the port.

All of a sudden, a massive black and purple vortex appeared in the night sky above the black lions' heads, sucking all of them into its swirling depths.

"Roar!" Just then, a black lion beast that had just been resurrected suddenly crashed into Chen Hao, its two sharp fangs piercing directly into Chen Hao's back.

"Ah!" Chen Hao couldn't help but let out a pained scream.

Another black lion beast that Chen Hao had burned to death but had been resurrected leapt over and bit off his head, holding it in its mouth. Soon after, four black lion beasts swarmed in and devoured Chen Hao's flesh.

At that moment, a huge silver radiance slashed from above their heads, then blocked the portal summoned by Chen Hao, preventing dozens of black lion beasts from being sucked into it.

Immediately after, countless black lights appeared at the summit of the first mountain of the Six-Finger Range. Amid the vast night, these black lights seemed particularly pure.

"Roar!" A succession of deep, mournful roars arose. The black lion beasts, holding parts of Chen Hao's body such as his head, limbs, or flesh, were torn apart by the Nether King's Power.

Then, under the effect of the Nether King's Heart, Chen Hao resurrected. At the same time, the black lion beasts around him were also resurrected.

He looked at the portal and saw it blocked by a ball of silver light, his face showing an incredulous expression. Meanwhile, the remaining black lion beasts had caught up with the long dragon-like convoy, wreaking havoc on the trucks.

Fortunately, the people inside the trucks had already gathered together as Chen Hao had previously arranged, and were led into the Mirror Realm by Lin Xiaofan.

Sensing the approaching aura of the black lion beasts, Chen Hao created an afterimage and shot into the sky, dodging several black lion beasts' pounces.

At this moment, he felt somewhat helpless.

He looked toward the eastern woods, where Ye Fei was in the midst of a fierce battle with the leader of the black lion beasts; then he looked toward the rescue convoy and noticed dozens of black lion beasts had begun to head toward the harbor after destroying the trucks.

In the fishing village near the harbor, there were more than ten thousand soldiers stationed.

Just as Chen Hao was about to stop the dozens of black lion beasts, Hua Shan suddenly appeared beside him.

"It's terrible! Dozens of black lion beasts are rushing toward Hualian Town. I tried to eliminate them with a space barrier, but that glowing tree actually broke through my barrier, which is really unbelievable!" Hua Shan urgently said.

"Ah!" Chen Hao was astonished; there were still six thousand civilians in Hualian Town.

"What now!" Chen Hao's heart was completely panicked; he didn't know which side to rescue, and even if he made a choice, he might not be successful.

In this critical moment, a purple door suddenly appeared in the night sky.

Feeling that familiar aura again, Chen Hao said in disbelief, "My wife is here?"

"Your wife?" Hua Shan exclaimed, "Is it the Queen?"

Indeed, as the purple door opened, Ye Yuqiao stepped out from it.

"Yuqiao, why are you here?" Chen Hao hurriedly sent a silent message to Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao did not respond but teleported directly above the black lion beasts heading toward the harbor.

Brilliant firelight illuminated the entire night sky, and a massive surge of flames erupted from her, engulfing the dozens of black lion beasts that were sprinting like a colossal wave, turning them to ash.

Right after, a ball of silver light rushed over from the Six-Finger Range at high speed and resurrected all the black lion beasts.

Ye Yuqiao took out a dagger, sliced the palm of her left hand, and faced her palm downwards, turning the ground beneath into an unquenchable Purgatory Fire Pool with her blood.
