The True Demon was eager to see Ember's despair, but instead, he saw a smile flicker at the corner of her lips.
The True Demon's expression subtly changed.
At a time like this, Ember could still smile?
Something seemed off!
He abruptly looked at the water screen. In the water screen, the five Transcenders simultaneously attacked Li Shuang.
The next moment.
However, world-destroying thunder descended, forming a massive shield that protected Li Shuang and You Lan in its center.
Even the full force of five Transcendants' attacks dissolved into nothingness under the protection of the thunder shield.
This wasn't all.
Above the Divine Soul Prison.
Ember's thunder dharma body suddenly appeared on the scene.
The True Demon was stunned, looking at Ember with a touch of disbelief.
Was Ember crazy?
Did she really dare to divert her attention to control a clone?
One had to know.
She was currently facing not just some small fries.
But the three strongest True Demons in the Land of Despair!
In this level of battle, even a tiny distraction could determine life or death!
If she expended power on the clone in the Divine Soul Prison.
What about her main body here?
Was she throwing her life away?
Although he didn't know why Ember suddenly made such an irrational move, almost instantaneously, the three True Demons launched their strongest attacks!
Ember had made such an irrational move.
Now was the best time to eliminate this top human expert!
Ember dies!
Humans perish!
This was not just empty talk!
In the Land of Despair, the pressure suddenly increased.
But Ember showed no intention of recalling her clone. Her thunder dharma body controlled the sky-filling thunder, completely engulfing the five Transcendent-level beings.
In that instant.
Of the five Transcendent-level beings, two died and three were injured.
However, this was not over. A long sword appeared in Ember's hand, and she attacked again, looking as if she intended to wipe them out completely.
In the Land of Despair, the three True Demons saw this as an unprecedented opportunity. All the hidden tactics and reserved moves they had refrained from using were now deployed.
Ember also seemed to be struggling with fighting on two fronts.
After she killed another Transcendent-level demon seed, her mind wavered, and her true body failed to evade the combined attack of the three demon seeds, resulting in a bloodied hole in her chest.
Although the bloodied hole instantly healed, Ember's face became even paler.
The three True Demons were overjoyed at the sight.
Aside from that one time when Ember had actively ventured deep into the Land of Despair, they had never found an opportunity to seriously injure her again!
This time.
Ember had made an extremely irrational decision to save Li.
And this action might cost her her life!
"Seize the chance, kill Ember."
"Seize the chance, kill Ember."
The True Demon's shouts echoed continuously above the Land of Despair.
The Transcendent-level demon seeds in the Divine Soul Prison seemed to have received instructions. They turned around and desperately attacked Ember's clone.
If they could tie her down here for a while, Ember would have to expend more mental energy on this side.
The True Demon Lords in the Land of Despair could then seize the opportunity to take Ember's life.
"Go." Ember's telepathic message echoed in Li Shuang's mind.
The thunder shield instantly receded.
You Lan pulled Li Shuang, and the two continued to flee.
Li Shuang looked back at Ember from afar, a tremor flashing in her eyes.
This was just a clone of the City Lord, not even her true self, yet it possessed such terrifying power.
If the City Lord were to unleash her full power, what would that be like?
This woman was terrifyingly powerful!
"Don't let Li escape!" The spatial demon seed once again warped through space, chasing after them.
Ember sneered, transforming into lightning and instantly appearing in front of the spatial demon seed.
Her thunder clone's speed was astonishing, showing no inferiority to the spatial demon seed.
The spatial demon seed's expression slightly changed. The next moment, its throat was tightly grasped by Ember's hand.
In an instant, its head exploded!
A demon core fell.
Li Shuang and You Lan fled once more.
Close, so close!
They just needed to hold on a little longer, and they would return to Ten Thousand Fa City.
Once they left.
Ember would no longer need to be distracted, and the crisis for both sides could be resolved.
This was definitely not the outcome the Land of Despair wanted to see.
Ember's eyes flickered.
So.
Did the Land of Despair truly have no backup plans?
Were they just going to accept this failure?
Come on.
You can't possibly have only this much preparation, right?
Bring out even stronger countermeasures, let me see!
Ember showed no mercy. While Li Shuang and You Lan were fleeing, she had already killed five Transcendants in one go. The few Spirit Refinement Realm demon seeds who were behind them also met their demise, turning into dust under her world-annihilating thunder.
On the other side.
Li Shuang and You Lan had reached the exit.
As long as they took one more step, entering the array in front of them, they could instantly leave!
Li Shuang and You Lan didn't hesitate and rushed forward.
However, just as they were about to enter the array.
A long sigh echoed in the air.
The two of them were blocked at the very last step.
It was as if an invisible shield stood before the array. Though it was only one step, they could never cross it!
"High-level demon seed: Parasitic Demon Seed!"
The Heaven and Earth Furnace once again gave a prompt.
Li Shuang's expression suddenly changed.
Parasitic Demon Seed.
It was a Parasitic Demon Seed again!
Ye Zhaozhao's parasitic demon seed, due to her specialization in the Taishang Forgetting Emotion Art, had not fully evolved.
But what about this unknown parasitic demon seed in front of them?
To what extent had it developed?
Ember looked at the sky, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
If it were solely for the purpose of killing Li.
This person might not even show up.
But now.
It wasn't just Li.
Ember herself had actively exposed a flaw.
With the double temptation superimposed, how could this demon seed resist?
She wanted to see who this deeply hidden demon seed actually was!
In the void.
The true form of that voice still didn't appear. Several illusory shadows emerged in the air and attacked Li Shuang.
Ember's figure instantly blocked in front of Li Shuang, deflecting all attacks.
"Good, good, City Lord Ember sacrificing herself to save someone is truly moving. But, fighting on two fronts like this, how long can you sustain it?" The True Demon sneered. With each attack, more wounds appeared on Ember's body.
Ember looked at the sky, exceptionally calm in that moment.
The flaw she was exposing now was not enough.
Unless they were certain they could kill her, that chess piece might not reveal its true form.
Then... she would give him a little more confidence.
She needed to make these demon seeds believe that if they just tried a little harder, they could kill her here.
Only then would they be willing to expose their most important chess piece.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Ember's lips.
Then let's see whose performance is more convincing.
