Buck House looked at Mei Simiao, who was continuously crafting three heads and eight arms to fight him, sensing from all directions, with a sneer on his face. His sharp claws passed through Mei Simiao's spear, gently scratching a small cut on her arm, then with a wave of his hand, he released dozens of deathly black needles.

Having suffered from these black needles several times, Mei Simiao quickly retreated. These needles, formed from deathly mist, could not be blocked by any tangible object like swords or spears. They would effortlessly pierce through, and once they hit, a small wound on the body would continuously expand.

"Too slow!" Buck House intercepted Mei Simiao from behind, dodging the Yin Yang Sword that she swung at him. With a flick of his fingers, he sent over ten deathly needles into her body, watching as her wounds burst, blood gushing out continuously and sneered, "Friedrich's ability enhances the force of death, causing his enemies to feel pain and illness, whereas my demon god transformation enhances speed to expand injuries. You've developed three heads for a broader view, but your body can't keep up with my speed. Don't struggle, just die peacefully. Blame your choice of opponent!"

"Ah, indeed I chose the wrong opponent. If I had known your ability, I should have let Old Lin handle you." Zuo Huaxian's voice sounded from behind Buck House.

Hearing this, Buck House's mouth twitched. He clearly sensed through the battle that the old man's speed was definitely not as fast as his, but his abilities were bizarre, like a slippery eel, constantly escaping his attacks, repeatedly entangling him to his great distress.

Enraged after being constantly harassed, Buck House turned and attacked with his sword behind him, only to be stunned when Zuo Huaxian did not dodge his longsword but allowed it to pierce his left palm. Zuo Huaxian lightly patted his chest, chanting, "The frog at the bottom of the well."

Buck House didn't understand the meaning behind these words. That palm on his chest also seemed to have no effect. Just as he twisted his sword to expand the wound on Zuo Huaxian's palm, his vision suddenly went black and blurred.

Furious and shocked, Buck House stopped chasing and quickly withdrew his sword to check his body. Only then did he realize his sight was confined to a small area right in front of him. Not only had his vision been restricted but also his hearing, touch, and perception, all compressed into a small range.

Without wasting further effort in shock, Buck House felt a sharp pain at his waist, knowing without looking that Mei Simiao had taken the opportunity to attack him. He angrily swung his sword back but hit nothing but air. Subsequently, more pain surged from his ribs; not only didn't he see the attacks, but he didn't even hear a sound from them.

Realizing he had been tricked, Buck House quickly escaped from their battle zone, ramping up his speed whilst using his magic power to clear the anomaly in his body.

"Elder Zuo, stop lingering and finish him off quickly!" Mei Simiao relentlessly chased, thrusting her spear several times and urging as she glanced towards Pei Yan on the other side of the battleground, who was being drawn into a dark barrier by Friedrich.

"Do it now!" Without hesitating any longer, Zuo Huaxian halted, drawing forth his inner source, and began reciting incantations while keeping a keen eye on Buck House who was dodging around.

By now, Buck House had pinpointed the issue. Accumulated in his mind was an energy that didn't belong to him, restricting his perception capabilities. After withstanding a few of Mei Simiao's attacks, he eventually expelled this strange energy from his mind.

The moment his vision fully restored, Buck House prepared to counterattack, only to see a large crimson glow swiftly enveloping him from above.

"Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield!" Mei Simiao shouted, hands clasped, mouth wide open, releasing a Samadhi True Fire from her mouth into the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield.

Within the shield, Buck House felt the abrupt rise in temperature, staring at a slowly illuminating giant dragon on the shield wall, he realized things weren't looking good. Panicked, he lunged at the shield, but no matter if he used sword or transformed into black mist, he couldn't breach it. Meanwhile, under Mei Simiao's command, three fire dragons had already lit up on the shield.

Inside, the searing flames caused Buck House's crystalline body to start melting, the scales on his surface scorched and crackling.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!" After a few ineffective attempts at breaking free, Buck House, reaching his breaking point as the sixth fire dragon lit up, finally recognized the severity of the object. Understanding there was no chance of survival if he continued, he reached up to one of his two magical horns atop his head and, gritting his teeth, broke it off.

Through the agonizing pain, magic power gushed out. He tossed the broken horn into the air, converging all death energy onto it. The horn grew larger as he activated it, reaching its peak death energy accumulation before Buck House hurled it.

Thud! The tip of the horn struck the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield, resulting in a dull thud. The shield, previously impervious even to the attacks from the witch Sarah from the Magic Realm, began to bulge. As Buck House urged it further, the horn burrowed deeper and cracks on the shield grew larger.

Seeing this, a reluctant Mei Simiao prepared to apply more pressure, but her thoughts were interrupted by Zuo Huaxian saying, "Xiaomei, don't force it. It will harm you and others. Withdraw some of the firepower and release him to me!"

Hearing this, Mei Simiao understood Elder Zuo's concern that the backlash from a broken shield might hurt her, and the Samadhi True Fire might spill out harming others. Helpless, she complied, retracting her inner source, and the fire dragons on the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield dimmed one by one, while the interior flames diminished significantly.

Boom! The sound of an explosion echoed as Buck House, burnt all over and cracking, finally broke through the receding, dark shield. He did not dare linger, and amidst Mei Simiao's slight recoil, transformed into a ray of light, frantically fleeing the battlefield.

"In Beiming, there is a fish, named Kun!" Zuo Huaxian's voice resonated once more behind Buck House, who turned his head to see a huge whale, composed of vast amounts of liquid and even larger than before, appearing out of nowhere with a destructive force, rushing at him.

"Old fool! Do you think I'll fall for it a second time?!" Buck House mocked loudly as he cast an air slash. Watching his air slash vanish after kicking up a splash, Buck House was briefly stunned. His steps faltered momentarily, and the enormous whale body crashed down upon him.
