Not only were Leonard and others astounded, but so were the Blood Demon Squad and Bai Lan, as they stared blankly ahead at Ye Qiu who had been struck down, their minds in a complete void.

Could it be that the invincible Demon King Ye Qiu is about to lose?

"Whoa..."

Ye Qiu stood back up from the ground, but unable to suppress the surging blood and qi within him, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Without experiencing the monstrous power of X02 and X03, no one could understand the kind of pressure Ye Qiu was under.

The perfect forms of X02 and X03 were beyond comparison to the previous X01.

At least, the previous X01 had been harshly beaten by Ye Qiu, yet now, he was seriously injured.

"Crack..."

At this moment, Ye Qiu heard a slight cracking sound, as if something in his chest had shattered.

Following the shattering, a pure and potent power started spreading from his chest, coursing through his entire body.

Instantly, Ye Qiu seemed to realize something, his eyes widening in disbelief.

The only thing he had kept close to his chest was the jade ring, and now, it had shattered!

As Ye Qiu was in shock, he felt the fragments of the jade ring enter his body, transforming into a powerful force, causing the powerful qi within him to surge wildly.

"Pfft..."

As the rampaging qi violently coursed through him, Ye Qiu's skin suddenly burst open, blood seeping forth, covering him completely.

At this moment, Ye Qiu looked like a figure shrouded in blood, standing in the darkness, appearing terrifying and horrifying.

The change happened so suddenly that no one could understand why it occurred, watching in shock as Ye Qiu's skin burst open, blood flowing.

At this moment, Ye Qiu had to fully concentrate inward, fighting against the chaotic qi.

But soon, he was pleasantly surprised to find that despite his outwardly gruesome appearance, his condition wasn't as dire.

The injuries within were gradually healing under the effect of the restorative qi, which was also continuously elevating.

Ye Qiu could clearly feel his strength increasing bit by bit, this seemed to be... a sign of a breakthrough!

After being stuck at this realm for years, could he finally be breaking through?

Besides being astonished, Ye Qiu was filled with great joy. For this breakthrough, he had put in so much effort; everything he did was for this very moment!

As Ye Qiu continued to transform, outsiders couldn't tell, only knowing he was in grave danger!

"Brother Ye!"

"Ye Qiu!"

The Blood Demon Squad and Bai Lan couldn't help but cry out, their eyes filled with worry and fear.

Should Ye Qiu fall, no one present would survive!

In this dire situation, the Blood Demon Squad charged forward without hesitation, forcefully clashing with X02 and X03.

They knew that even Ye Qiu was no match for X02 and X03, and stepping forward meant certain death.

Yet, they no longer cared, as long as they could protect their comrades, it would be worth it!

This was what it meant to be a soldier, this was their duty, to defend their comrades' lives to the death, even if they couldn't, they would die first!

"Boom, boom..."

The members of the Blood Demon Squad charged quickly, but were knocked back even faster, the gap with X02 and X03 was too vast, they couldn't withstand a few rounds before being violently struck back, gravely injured and unable to rise.

"Blood Demon..."

The women in the rear, including Bai Lan, burst into tears at the sight. They initially didn't understand the fellowship between men, but now they understood, a comrade is someone you trust your life to.

For the safety of their comrades, to buy time, they'd willingly give their own lives!

"Demon King? He's nothing much!"

After dealing with the Blood Demon Squad, X02 and X03 didn't spare them a glance. To them, the Blood Demon Squad wasn't worth mentioning, certainly not on their mind.

Their sights were set solely on Ye Qiu, who was continuously spilling blood.

"It's unimaginable why those earlier fools were so pathetic, unable to handle such trash."

The conversation between X02 and X03 sounded awkward and clumsy, but their arrogance and disdain were unmistakable.

"Slay the Demon King and bring back his head as a report."

At this point, X02 and X03 were in no hurry, slowly approaching Ye Qiu, seeing him as a dead man.

Leonard and others, witnessing this, were more overwhelmed with joy than shock. To them, Ye Qiu was a nightmare that wouldn't fade as long as he lived.

But now... is this nightmare finally ending?

Great! The Demon King is finally going to die!

If not for their deadly feud with Blood Cross, they'd have cheered for X02 and X03.

But...

As X02 and X03 neared Ye Qiu, ready to kill him, Ye Qiu suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with blood-red color, X02 and X03 didn't understand what it meant, perhaps hatred? Or other emotions.

But one thing was certain: at the sight of Ye Qiu's eyes, they felt a strange trembling emotion within.

They were instantly shocked, knowing they were not normal humans, their emotions shouldn't fluctuate so greatly.

Yet now, they felt fear in Ye Qiu's gaze!

This was an unusual occurrence; their instinct was to retreat.

However, it was too late!

Before X02 and X03 could react, Ye Qiu's figure moved.

With astounding speed, he charged towards X02 and X03.

At this moment, Ye Qiu's speed was significantly enhanced, almost in the blink of an eye, he was in front of X02 and X03, delivering a double punch.

The explosive power erupted from within Ye Qiu, making direct contact with the bodies of X02 and X03.

"Boom!"

It sounded like a metallic collision that echoed across the night sky...
