However—the Demon Nature Holy War did not believe it was over.

Just as the handsome guy was trying to escape, the Demon Nature Holy War let out a loud roar, and a matchless Fist Light crashed toward the Human King.

"Splash!"

The red-gold Primordial Energy clashed with the Human King’s white Primordial Energy. Immediately, the Human King let out a miserable scream, spitting out a mouthful of reverse blood. With a pfft sound.

The delicate jade body flew backward, and royal blood stained the sky!

"Roar!!!"

Seizing the opportunity, the Demon Nature Holy War roared again, another strong punch sweeping in. With a loud bang, this time the Human King couldn’t withstand it. The Demon Nature Holy War specifically targeted her Domain’s weak point to launch a killing blow.

However, Lin Zifeng, who had entered the Domain, could also feel the intense energy fluctuations outside. After capturing the opportunity, he swung the Heavenly Painting Halberd with all his might, striking straight at the Heavenly Vault!

"Break!!!"

The Heavenly Painting Halberd’s bloody glow shook the heavens, and with a mighty strike, it pierced a small crack in the Heavenly Vault. Taking advantage of the moment before the crack healed, seizing the chance, he charged upward with the Heavenly Painting Halberd.

But the crack was about to heal swiftly, causing Lin Zifeng to be greatly alarmed.

"No way! Am I really going to die in the Human King’s Domain?"

"Boom!"

The Domain shook violently again. This time, the crack above the Heavenly Vault broke open once more. Lin Zifeng seized the moment, like a streamer of light, rushing upward. Quickly darting through the crack, he slashed down with the War Spear, and the powerful blood light split open the crack, allowing him to burst out of the Domain. At that moment, Lin Zifeng finally caught the scent of hope for survival!

"Boom!"

At the moment Lin Zifeng rushed out of the Domain, he saw with his own eyes the Demon Nature Holy War knock the Human King flying again. Falling into the boundless darkness...

"Damn! Kid, over here! Over here!"

The handsome guy, seeing Lin Zifeng rush out, vigorously rubbed his dog eyes with his dog paw. He thought he was seeing things.

By the time Lin Zifeng escaped, the Human King had already been defeated. After landing, the Demon Nature Holy War still maintained a stern face, his eyes empty and expressionless.

"That was close! I almost lost my life." Lin Zifeng was secretly shocked. If not for the Demon Nature Holy War’s intervention, he might really have been wiped out by the Human King inside the Domain.

"Damn it! Kid, how are you doing?" The handsome guy quickly ran over.

"I’m okay. Still alive." Lin Zifeng nodded.

"Kid, the Human King has been defeated. This Demon Nature Holy War wants to go even deeper. Are you really going to risk your life with him? One Human King was already this powerful. The next layer’s king might be even stronger. Are you still willing to take the risk?"

"We’ve come this far already. Do you want me to give up?" Having finally defeated the Human King and reached this point, Lin Zifeng was not willing to let go. Who knew how many layers the Dark Prison had? Perhaps there were only a few more layers left. He couldn’t abandon his father and let him venture into the depths alone.

No matter whether this demonic father was his real father or not, he had to accompany him deeper.

"Damn! The tenth layer is the Jiuyou King! Do you also want to experience the Jiuyou King’s prowess? That’s basically courting death." The handsome guy was upset. At this rate, they were bound to be finished...

"The path is one I chose myself, how to proceed is my own business. Dead Dog, if you’re willing, how about accompanying me further?" Lin Zifeng’s eyes glittered. With the battle against the Human King, he seemed to have gained enlightenment between life and death. If he continued deeper, perhaps his strength might break through again. Under immense pressure, human potential could be further forced out. This was one of Lin Zifeng’s personal goals in braving the danger.

Of course, right now with the Demon Nature Holy War protecting him, where else could he find a high-level expert to accompany him as a bodyguard? If he couldn’t seize the moment this time, he wouldn’t have the chance even if he wanted to in the future.

He believed that as long as he didn’t die, he would surely break through to higher levels!

"Damn... you... you bastard! Damn it, if you want to go in, go in yourself. Your Grandpa Mastiff isn’t playing along!"

The handsome guy wanted to leave. He couldn’t just throw away his old life for nothing, could he?

"Are you sure you won’t accompany me further?" Lin Zifeng looked at him, sneering inside. He had no choice now. If he wanted to back out, there were still several layers of kings ahead. Even thinking of retreating was hard.

"I..." The handsome guy was speechless, feeling as miserable as if he had swallowed a dead frog.

"Dead Dog, if you don’t take advantage of this good opportunity yourself, then I’m going in."

Following the Demon Nature Holy War’s continued advance, Lin Zifeng also began to follow the Demon Nature Holy War deeper.

"Damn it! I’ve had the worst luck for eight generations!" Reluctantly, the handsome guy could only endure and followed him inside...

————————————

In the headquarters of the South Heavenly Gate in Zhonghai City... At this moment, all the high-level members of the South Heavenly Gate were gathered... including Liu Ruyan and the others.

Shao Huo’s incident of having his tendons severed had caused a stir throughout the South Heavenly Gate, but now the Green Gang and Hongmen were aggressively advancing into Zhonghai, with almost no experts left in Zhonghai’s South Heavenly Gate to oppose those ability users of the Green Gang.

It must be known that even in Yanjing, the South Heavenly Gate had been pushed to the brink by the Heavenly Punishment Alliance. There was no way to send people to assist Zhonghai’s South Heavenly Gate, and now the only hope could lie with the Ability Group. The main base of the Ability Group was in Yanjing, and the branch was in Zhonghai.

Now, Meng Chanji was also anxiously pacing. In the battle of Kunling Mountain, the Ability Group suffered heavy losses, with both Zhan Longchen and Chen Bubai, these two pride of the heavens, being severely injured. It hadn’t been long since then. The South Heavenly Gate was facing catastrophe again, and almost everyone knew in their hearts that this time the South Heavenly Gate definitely couldn’t hold out.

"Sister Zhang, you don’t need to think about it anymore. At worst, we’ll fight it out with the Green Gang and Hongmen! I refuse to believe our South Heavenly Gate can’t outfight the Green Gang!"

Hua Tiandu, having been wounded heavily in the battle against Hongmen in the East District, went all out, fighting as if he were dead. He took down a Hongmen big shot, securing half of the territory in the East District.

"Yes! Sister Zhang, with Lin Shao not here now, just give the order, and we’ll fight them to the end!" Cang Cun said.

Everyone present understood the catastrophe facing the South Heavenly Gate. Without saying it aloud, they were all ready to live and die with the South Heavenly Gate.

Zhang Mengjie looked over everyone present but said nothing. She was still hesitating. It’s not that she didn’t want to strike back, but the cost of such a counterattack was too great. She didn’t want the South Heavenly Gate to fall as a result of this battle.

If that were the case, she would rather keep wearing them down, believing that one day Lin could surely return! This belief had always supported her and was the belief of everyone since the foundation of the South Heavenly Gate!
