Xuan Shang Jun was clad in black armor, wielding a magic sword, resembling the God of Death descending upon the battlefield, where Demon Soldiers fell one after another.
However, Chao Feng was not to be underestimated. He had absorbed the Demon Core of an Ancient Beast, greatly enhancing his power, and fought fiercely against Xuan Shang Jun in a stalemate.
"Brother, are you truly willing to fight me to the death?" Xuan Shang Jun deflected Chao Feng's fierce attacks with his sword, his tone laced with fatigue.
"Stop pretending!" Chao Feng roared, "The position of Demon Lord should have belonged to me! It was you who took everything from me!"
"You are mistaken; I never intended to compete with you for anything," Xuan Shang Jun replied coldly. "It is you who have been blinded by power and strayed from the right path!"
"Shut up!" Chao Feng, filled with rage, launched another assault, each strike vicious and lethal.
Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, I and Mangmang arrived at the Wangchuan Riverbank.
Witnessing the devastating battle before us, I was deeply shocked. She had never seen such immense power and had never imagined being caught up in this conflict of the demon realm.
"Demon Lord!" Mangmang exclaimed, pointing at Xuan Shang Jun, who was trapped by dark energy not far away.
Following her gaze, I saw that Xuan Shang Jun was being suppressed by Chao Feng's powerful dark energy, his form swaying precariously, clearly at his limit.
"Damn it!" I cursed under my breath, feeling an overwhelming sense of urgency.
Though her magical abilities were weak, she could not just stand by and watch as Xuan Shang Jun faced danger.
"What do you want to do?" Mangmang grabbed my hand anxiously.
"Save him!" Without a moment's hesitation, I resolutely charged toward the center of the battlefield.
"I!" Mangmang gasped in surprise, wanting to stop me but it was already too late.
I rushed in front of Xuan Shang Jun, spreading my arms to shield him from Chao Feng's deadly strike.
"Boom—"
A powerful force struck me, violently sending her flying away.
"Poof—"
I spat out a mouthful of blood, darkness enveloping my vision as I lost consciousness.
"I!" Xuan Shang Jun's eyes widened with rage as he let out a thunderous roar.
He caught my falling body, holding me tightly in his arms, feeling my faint breath, his heart aching as if it were being twisted.
"Why did you do this?" His trembling voice was filled with sorrow and self-reproach.
I did not answer; I had already fallen unconscious, my face pale and my breath weak.
At that moment, a powerful force suddenly surged within me. This force was vast like the sea, yet filled with light and hope, completely at odds with the surrounding demonic energy.
"What is this..." Xuan Shang Jun looked at me in shock, disbelief filling his eyes.
This force was actually... Divine Power!
The golden Divine Power erupting from within me shone like sunlight breaking through dark clouds, instantly illuminating the entire Wangchuan Riverbank. The originally surging black demonic energy rapidly melted away upon contact with this golden light, like snow meeting the blazing sun. The waters of the Wangchuan roared and churned, seemingly fearful of this sacred power.
"What’s happening?" Chao Feng stepped back in disbelief, his gaze towards me filled with greed and shock. "Divine Power? You actually possess Divine Power?"
Xuan Shang Jun looked down at my unconscious form in his arms, his brow furrowed. He could clearly feel that this Divine Power was pure and powerful, something no being from the demon realm could possess. Could it be that I was not an ordinary person, but...
He dared not think further, only tightening his embrace around me with a flash of determination in his eyes.
" Chao Feng, I will not let today’s events go unpunished!" Xuan Shang Jun said coldly, his voice filled with suppressed fury.
"Hahaha, just you?" Chao Feng laughed arrogantly. "You can barely protect yourself; how do you expect to protect this woman? Today, I will show you what true power is!"
After saying that, Chao Feng formed hand seals, and a swirling mass of demonic energy gathered behind him, coalescing into a massive black dragon that lunged toward Xuan Shang Jun with bared fangs and claws.
Xuan Shang Jun gently placed me on the ground, then stood up, his gaze coldly fixed on the giant dragon before him.
"If you want to harm her, you'll have to step over my dead body!" Xuan Shang Jun said in a low voice, his tone firm and resolute.
He knew that in his current state, he could not defeat Chao Feng, who possessed Divine Power. However, to protect me, he was willing to risk his life!
"Master..." Mangmang saw this and anxiously tried to step forward to help, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
" Mangmang, protect her well." Xuan Shang Jun glanced back at Mangmang, his eyes filled with trust and a sense of responsibility.
"Yes, Master!" Mangmang nodded with tears in her eyes; she understood that the only thing she could do now was to protect me.
Xuan Shang Jun withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and Mangmang raised his hands. Black demonic flames flickered at his fingertips, radiating a chilling power.
"Forbidden Technique—Demon God Descends!"
As Xuan Shang Jun's voice fell, the space behind him began to warp, and a massive black vortex Mangmang formed.
"You've gone mad!" Chao Feng exclaimed, his face changing dramatically. "For a woman, you're actually willing to use forbidden techniques? Do you know what the consequences of this will be?"
"As long as I can protect her, I'm willing to give up everything!" Xuan Shang Jun ignored Chao Feng's warning, his eyes filled with determination.
