Although Oulei sensed the situation, after thinking for a while, he did not say anything.

After all, his relationship with Baiyu was still just that of a savior and the one being saved, so he didn't want to say too much at the moment.

He wouldn't fall into a desperate situation immediately.

The longer he was free from restraints, the faster his strength would recover. At this moment, he was continuously absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Demon City, growing stronger by the second.

This is the traditional sense of getting stronger just by breathing.

So he wasn't worried about escaping.

However.

Oulei obviously didn't expect the situation to unfold as it did.

Just when he thought Baiyu's companion was already dead, ten seconds later, a grand light flew from a distance at extreme speed, like a flying sword shot from the horizon.

Oulei's eyes sharpened.

The person coming was extremely powerful, much stronger than he currently was; unless he was fully recovered, he wouldn't be a match.

Baiyu's Realm was only Tier Five.

Yet to have such a powerful companion traveling with him, it seemed this kid's status within their faction was not low either.

Oulei secretly speculated in his heart.

Baiyu didn't care about these things now, the rainbow light in the distance was Yao Shuimei, but her condition was not good at all, not to mention she was covered with wounds, her breath was also weak to the extreme.

She was carrying half a skeleton on her back.

This skeleton's lower half was completely crystalline bones, without a shred of flesh, white like jade.

But its upper half.

Was a normal human body.

Baiyu looked carefully, his pupils contracted, and his eyes were filled with unbelievable shock.

The person.

Was actually Qiu Yun!

In such a state and still alive, it's hard not to call it a medical miracle.

And at this moment, Oulei was also quite shocked.

He was surprised that Yao Shuimei's Spiritual Power was so powerful, able to hide and evade his detection.

The other party had a relic that could conceal Spirituality!

In an instant.

Oulei made this judgment.

Yao Shuimei's speed was very fast; by the time they saw her, she was already not far from them.

Only two seconds passed.

She had brought Qiu Yun to the open Teleportation Gate at the sack's opening.

Although surprised by the appearance of an unfamiliar face like Oulei and his strong power, Yao Shuimei clearly didn't have the time to care about this at the moment.

"Go, they're catching up. I didn't expect that guy to be even stronger after coming out of the Celestial Demon Pool, almost couldn't escape."

Yao Shuimei pulled Baiyu over and placed Qiu Yun on his back: "Carry him for a while, they're catching up."

Baiyu was just about to ask who it was.

When he saw a terrifying figure rising from the Demon King's Palace, like a giant from legend.

Emitting a pervasive black aura.

With eight hands, eight legs, and eight heads, its limbs covered with grotesque, mutated organs, and countless human heads wailing from its chest.

Just this scene alone made people want to vomit upon seeing it.

Not to mention the chaotic, evil aura that emanated from it, just looking at it made the Pollution Level surge wildly, making the whole body extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at it for a while longer.

Would certainly lead to immediate mutation.

No need to doubt, having such a grand presence could only be the Fourth Celestial Demon King, the supreme Leader of the Demon Race.

"Don't stare at him, although he doesn't have a divine body or divinity, the Pollution Level he carries is already high and will severely affect your mind."

Yao Shuimei loudly warned.

Then she waved a hand, and Blood Qi surged out like a mighty river, constructing a magnificent painting in the sky.

This painting swept toward the massive body of the Demon King.

Countless sharp arrows formed from Ice Blades shot out from the painting, like a torrential storm, blanketing the sky above Demon City.

Enormous surging power collided mid-air,

The residual force of the collision alone directly destroyed the buildings surrounding Demon City, killing countless members of the Demon Race.

"Despicable humans, your destinies have passed, your fortunes collapsed, yet you still perform these futile resistances... how laughable indeed."

The massive body of the Demon King, with an unstoppable momentum, came at them.

This oppression was absolute.

Baiyu completely couldn't withstand it; if Yao Shuimei wasn't there, he might even have been crushed to the point of explosion by this momentum!

An explosion that genuinely tears asunder!

"Go."

Yao Shuimei's gaze fell on the Teleportation Gate, first pushing Baiyu into it, then looking at Oulei.

"I can help you hold on for a while, it seems this thing you call a Teleportation Gate needs time to activate.

I am Oulei.

From the Dark Age Lion Imperial, always imprisoned in Demon City!"

Oulei succinctly introduced himself.

Yao Shuimei nodded, although surprised, she said nothing more, for she indeed needed help now.

"We just need to hold out for a while, wait for the light patterns inside the Teleportation Gate to calm down, after Baiyu and they return successfully, we can leave through the Teleportation Gate."

Yao Shuimei's logic was clear.

Oulei nodded, gazing at the towering hundred-meter body ahead, a hint of battle intent in his eyes: "Demon Horn Race, back then their Leader was a guy called the Second Celestial Demon King, didn't expect it to pass through two generations so quickly."

Having said that.

He ignited a fiery red Blood Qi all over himself, advancing not retreating, charging directly toward the gigantic body of the Demon King.

...

To be honest.

Carrying a dead person doesn't feel good.

But carrying someone like Qiu Yun, only with half a body, the other half being bones, feels even worse.
