With Pei Yan's help, Ye Jiumu achieved a fourth-level awakening by converting his internal energy. Although he unexpectedly gained a new, extraordinary ability, this very power was exceptionally difficult to wield, requiring focus of mind, body, and spirit at a singular point to successfully unleash it.

Moments later, as Ye Jiumu stared intensely into Shitang Longsi's eyes, ready to burst, his ability finally activated.

At this moment, Shitang Longsi, who was disregarding Pei Yan's attacks and focused entirely on escaping, suddenly felt his entire body freeze. His leaping figure seemed to be slowed, as if suspended mid-air, and began descending slowly like a snail.

This abrupt standstill caught his guards and other Divine Desire People off-guard; they continued their movements, rushing past his position. When they realized something was wrong and turned back to rescue him, Pei Yan had already caught up with them.

In the instant Shitang Longsi's movement stalled, Pei Yan understood what was happening. Seizing the opportunity, he descended from above with a flying kick to Shitang Longsi's rear, then grabbed at the sealing box carried on his back and pulled it toward himself.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of explosions erupted on Pei Yan, and the powerful impact forced him to release his grip momentarily and ascend into the air again. While suspended in mid-air, he fixed his gaze on Catherine, who was attacking him. This Russian young woman truly embodied the fierce spirit of her warrior nation, carelessly targeting both Pei Yan and Shitang Longsi in her assault, unconcerned about collateral damage.

At this point, Ye Ruozai arrived with reinforcements and hovered beside Pei Yan, asking with concern, "Pei Yan, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but that little bitch is fucking ruthless!" Pei Yan said as he descended to a steady landing. At this time, both his team and his sister's team of nine people finally converged to encircle the fleeing group of Shitang Longsi.

"Hey, little bastard, what's up with you? Can you make it? Why did you stop all of a sudden?" Du Guangyuan, who had turned back, quickly blocked the path of the fallen, motionless Shitang Longsi and questioned him.

After speaking, Du Guangyuan raised his head, scanning the young crowd that surrounded him. Nine against seven, huh? Although the opponent had the numerical advantage, they were too young—just rookies! Most of them he recognized from the last Secret Prison battle. He had a rough idea of their abilities, and escaping from their hands shouldn't be a problem.

While pondering, he heard the sound of chains clanging behind him, followed by a flash of light that enveloped everyone present.

Seeing the snowflakes drifting from the sky and the snow-capped mountains and tranquil lake around him, this familiar scene pulled Pei Yan back to the night he met Mu Fanchen. This Jiezhi Space perfectly simulated the place where he first encountered Shitang Longsi. He licked his lips and looked at Shitang Longsi, who had stepped away from the crowd after discarding the sealing box, sneering, "What? Not planning to keep running?"

"Ah, the sealing time is limited. Rather than let you all keep pestering me, it's better to fight quickly and end this here." Releasing the Jiezhi Space, Shitang Longsi placed his hand on his sword hilt and shifted his gaze to Pei Jin within the crowd, smiling, "Miss Pei, my pursuit of you is truly sincere. Alas, you squandered my goodwill. Since we can't get along, as you said, I have no issue taking you by force, confining you as the Shitang family's breeding machine!"

"Fuck you! This bastard is mine to deal with! Nobody fight me for this! I'm going to tear his filthy mouth apart!" Pei Yan, seeing him repeatedly harassing his sister, charged forward like a meteor, his right eye bloodshot.

"Kill them all swiftly!" Shitang Longsi ordered with a laugh as he unsheathed his long sword and charged forward.

Clang! In mid-air, swords clashed, sparking brilliantly. Shitang Longsi eyed Pei Yan, who had conjured a long sword with his right hand to duel with him, and sneered, "Did you know Mr. Mu told me to kill your sister and leave you in regret for the rest of your life?"

After these words, the swords parted as the two engaged in a flurry of attacks, moving like lightning. In the midst of the battle, with a more frenzied look in his eyes, Shitang Longsi shouted, "But more than killing your sister, I want to personally decapitate you, so that unappreciative woman knows the consequence of rejecting me!"

"Pah! You know, I once met another enemy just like you, jabbering endlessly beside me! You know what happened to him later?" Pei Yan parried the attack, and as they separated, he ended his stance in the air, spat out bloody saliva, and twirled his long sword, looking at Shitang Longsi with a smirk and asked.

"Oh, what happened to him?" Shitang Longsi re-entered a stance and asked with interest.

"His head got smashed open like a rotten watermelon by me!"

As the words fell, their figures vanished again, turning into two streaks of lightning crashing into each other in the air. As the thunderous light illuminated the field, Pei Yan's long sword shattered into pieces, and his right palm was pierced by the opponent's sword. Yet, with rising battle intent, he showed no sign of retreat, as his pierced mechanical right hand extended over ten iron cords, ensnaring the opponent's right arm. His left hand transformed into an electromagnetic cannon, aimed at Shitang Longsi's forehead.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Three consecutive electromagnetic blasts struck solidly on Shitang Longsi's head. As the smoke cleared, Pei Yan looked at the opponent's body, which turned into a puddle of mud and slid from the air, with confusion in his eyes; instead of a sense of victory, a massive sense of crisis surged within him.

Where? Where? Behind!

Ordering Suzi to initiate full-scale surveillance, Pei Yan detected Shitang Longsi's trace the instant he reappeared in the air. Even before the opponent's long sword could strike, his body instinctively leapt forward while several rockets launched from within him, all striking the target.

Stabilizing his form, Pei Yan eyed the once again liquefying Shitang Longsi, now leisurely standing on the ground, his gaze provocatively staring back at him, forcing a frown.

"Not bad, little bastard; you won't tell me this is the legendary ninjutsu, will you?" Pei Yan, now on the ground, pretended to be troubled, shielding his eyes. Having experienced numerous battles by now, if he had to pick the most troublesome from his adversaries, the celestial soldiers among human heroes would definitely rank in the top three. People with those strange abilities often wield unexpected powers, proving to be exceedingly troublesome.

Shitang Longsi drove his sword into the ground before him, clapped his hands, then spread his arms wide with a smile, "This is exactly the new ability I gained with the help of you and your sister. How about it, do you feel some regret now?"

"My sister and I aren't that petty!" Shitang Longsi then felt a melodious voice chiming in his ear, and immediately afterward, a long sword pierced through his chest.
