Xie An''s words sank the hearts of everyone present once again.

The already dire situation had become even more hopeless.

They were all familiar with the name of the Ming Tiger, a Demonic Beast rumored to carry the True Spirit bloodline, scarcely inferior to the descendants of the Dragon Beasts, possessing immense strength, against which cultivators of the same rank stood no chance.

Not to mention the Ming Tiger that had become a demon after death, whose strength was scarcely diminished, a key reason for the prosperity of the Heavenly Demon Sect''s demonic banners.

"No, his Ming Tiger demon soul isn''t complete, it''s just a remnant soul!" Xie An shouted again.

"What does it matter if it''s just a remnant soul, you still can''t withstand it!" Chen Yunlai sneered coldly, signaling with the demonic banner that he was ready to annihilate everything in his path.

Everyone knew him as Old Demon Chen, but little did they know where his notorious reputation stemmed from.

The Rolling Divine Plate and the Yin Yang Demonic Child were one thing, but in fact, his ultimate technique was this Ming Tiger demon soul.

A whole Third Rank Supreme Grade demonic banner, capable of bearing only one demon soul, spoke volumes of the Ming Tiger''s dominance and ferocity.

While deliberating, the Ming Tiger raised its head, its massive fangs began to emit a ghostly glow, lunging towards Xie An.

At this moment, the three Supreme Grade magic swords performing the Three Dragons Convergence secret technique seemed like toys being played with by the Ming Tiger, completely suppressed.

Xie An''s expression changed drastically as the Yin Yang Demonic Child spewed another breath of Yin Flame. In response, he scrambled to pull out an abundance of Spirit Talismans, casting defenses non-stop.

Meanwhile, Lin Shiming''s eyes were bursting with ferocity, continuously casting Spirit Arts with his hands.

The next moment, countless Purple Gold Vines shot out towards Lin Xianzhi''s opponents.

This assault of Purple Gold Vines had been long charged up by Lin Shiming; as he was being continuously suppressed by the Rolling Divine Plate, he had been preparing.

Now, nearly all of it was unleashed, turning into an ocean of Purple Gold Vines, entwining towards several people.

Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators had no ability to resist, and among the Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators, only Li Chengxian managed to escape.

A golden light emerged, and unexpectedly, two enormous golden limbs descended, severing two of the entwined Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators.

One of them was a cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Sect, his cultivation entirely bound to the demon banner, and was killed outright, while the other was enveloped by Lin Xianzhi''s Green Lotus Sword Light, dying without a whole corpse.

The remaining two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators were no match and were obliterated by the sword light on the spot.

They combated the Yin Yang Demon Child.

Yet, as soon as Li Chengxian noticed this, he would return to persistently harass Lin Xianzhi.

However, the most critical issue was still the Hell Tiger Demon Lord; Xie An was still unable to hold it off. Three Supreme Grade Magic Swords could only conjure about three zhang of space around him, desperately defending.

With each assault of the Hell Tiger, Xie An spewed blood, and the Magic Swords'' Spirit Light greatly diminished.

At that moment, Chen Yunlai''s complexion darkened as well; despite his suppression, Lin Shiming still managed to strike and kill others.

But just as he was about to wield the Rolling Divine Plate to crush Lin Shiming, a golden scythe leg sliced through the void at an extreme speed, leaving only a trail of dazzling golden light.

It was the Golden Winged Mantis controlled by Lin Shiming attacking again. However, a Spirit Shield appeared around Chen Yunlai, blocking the lethal strike of the Golden Winged Mantis, after which Chen Yunlai disappeared under the demon banner.

Magic mist enveloped the area, and Lin Shiming could not see a trace of Chen Yunlai.

The Golden Winged Mantis also continuously transformed into golden light, flying around the magic mist, then vanished into the void beneath the Qinglian Taoist Robe.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, the old demon Chen''s Divine Sense is lacking!" Lin Shiming also bellowed.

The Hell Tiger was indeed powerful, but as a demon within the Heavenly Demon Banner, its existence depended on Chen Yunlai.

This kind of Magic Artifact almost transcended its category, and the consumption of Divine Sense was naturally enormous.

Otherwise, with the character of old demon Chen, he would have taken out the demon banner early on to refine the Golden Winged Mantis into a demon head.

The cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect may lack other Magic Artifacts, but almost each one possesses several Heavenly Demon Banners, differing only in material.

Lin Xianzhi also noticed that the Yin Yang Demon Child didn''t display the same fierce aggression as it had in the fight against Xie An; instead, it attacked mechanically.

Now that Chen Yunlai moved the demon banner away, the Yin Yang Demon Child appeared even less formidable!

What vexed him though was that with the Heavenly Demon Banner shrouding Chen Yunlai, they simply couldn''t find his true body. If Xie An were to be slain, then it would be impossible for them to survive.

And indeed, that was the case for Xie An at the moment; most of the treasures in his Storage Bag were depleted, and his whole body radiated intense Spirit Light, evidently having used some kind of secret technique that drained his potential.

Even so, he was still in dire straits, with the possibility of being fatally struck by the Hell Tiger''s claw and breaching his sword defense at any moment, leading to his demise.
