Demon King: Hero, don't run away!

Two black arrows shot out from the bowstring of a black longbow, directly targeting the Flame Ejector at Gao Yuanyi’s feet.

Gao Yuanyi had already seen Bar’s intention and activated the Flame Ejector under his feet for acceleration.

Unexpectedly, the rocket booster under severe impact had already reached its limit, like an engine about to stall, intermittently spurting sparks.

Gao Yuanyi lost his best chance to evade.

With a "crack", the Flame Ejector at his feet was shattered by two arrows.

In mid-air, Gao Yuanyi instantly lost balance, falling into the black smoke.

Bar did not seize this golden opportunity to launch a fierce attack. Still struggling to stabilize his body, he traced a strange arc in mid-air, continuing to escape the battlefield.

Before Bar could get far, four blue waves approached from behind him.

Bai Jin drove the magic power to attack Bar.

Even without turning back, Bar could feel the magic fluctuation from the magic waves behind him.

Nimbly moving, Bar easily evaded the four blue waves.

The four waves didn’t stop and charged forward relentlessly.

The four waves came closer and closer, eventually converging at a point, exploding violently with magic fluctuation.

A thick water wall spread out from the point of convergence, blocking Bar’s path.

Circumventing this water wall would take an outrageous amount of time, and Bar had no such time to spare.

Surrounded by a black aura, Bar dove headfirst into the thick water wall like a cannonball.

This played right into Bai Jin’s hands.

Connecting his spirit and the magic composing the water wall, Bai Jin waved his magic wand and activated the magic technique within the water wall.

The originally expanding water wall rapidly contracted, frosting from the outside in, forming a large ice ball in mid-air.

Without any hesitation, Bar unleashed a large amount of black currents, gnawing a path through the large ice ball like worms.

Breaking through the ice, Bar once again breathed fresh air.

Bar hadn’t expected a shadow to have waited outside the ice ball for some time.

The shadow suddenly solidified, revealing Gao Yuanyi’s face.

Though his Flame Ejector was destroyed, Gao Yuanyi did not fall into the black smoke.

Escaping the influence of the Disrupting Hurricane, Gao Yuanyi separated into light shadows, riding thermal updrafts and persistently keeping up with Bar.

By repeatedly swapping places with the shadows, Gao Yuanyi came face to face with Bar.

The shattered mechanical limb pierced the ice surface as Gao Yuanyi swung his massive mechanical fist at Bar’s head.

Bar withdrew his body like a frightened turtle, retreating into the hovering giant ice ball.

With a "boom", the giant mechanical arm collided with the ice ball, spreading countless cracks from the point of impact outward.

In just an instant, the massive ice ball exploded!

Black arms broke through incoming ice shards, as Bar passed through the shattered ice ball, launching into mid-air.

Through the flying ice shards, Bar could see Gao Yuanyi revealing a taunting smile.

That expression seemed to say, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Look, I’ve broken my legs too but don’t rush to say goodbye, yet you wish to leave so fast, not giving a thing. Could it be that... you’re scared?

Seeing Gao Yuanyi’s annoying expression, Bar wished he could rush forward, grab Gao Yuanyi’s collar, and pound his face until dead.

But Bar’s reason told him he absolutely couldn’t act impulsively; Gao Yuanyi was deliberately putting on this expression.

Far-off, Tico and Li Yan had already regained their senses, preparing their magic. Rushing in now would be exactly what they wanted.

Bar focused his gaze, not letting emotions cloud his judgment, as he quickly contemplated countermeasures, releasing a large amount of black currents that tangled like threads around the descending ice fragments nearby.

"These ice shards are quite good.

Let me borrow them for a bit!"

The black currents took physical form, creating reliable ropes.

Driven by magic power, Bar swung the black ropes bound with ice blocks, sending countless flying ice fragments through the sky, crashing toward Gao Yuanyi and Tico nearby.

Tico and Li Yan had to temporarily halt the battle, weaving defense magic to block the incoming ice blocks.

Gao Yuanyi again swapped with a shadow, evading the incoming ice blocks.

But his evasion left him in front of Bar, still blocking Bar’s path.

"Why not step aside gracefully?

Why risk your life in such danger!

You can’t remain airborne for long."

Bar swung another black rope, tossing more ice blocks at Gao Yuanyi.

Gao Yuanyi had only a few more times left to swap with Ghost Shadow.

As Bar said, with his damaged mechanical legs, Gao Yuanyi couldn’t hover for much longer, yet he was not fighting alone.

A piece of Golden Glass glowed faintly in the distant sky.

A man held an elf with one hand and a triangular flying device with the other, streaking across the sky at an incredible speed.

Seeing the distance was right, the man flung the elf forward, launching her onto the newly created block of Golden Glass.

Iyas landed perfectly on the Golden Glass, quickly drawing her longbow, as a luminous Light Arrow formed in her hand.

The triangular flying device expelled copious exhaust, accelerating abruptly beyond Iyas and the Golden Glass like a missile-launching fighter jet, hurling Yang Yu forward.

Another new piece of Golden Glass formed, employing the Incredible Braking Boots to decelerate smoothly, and Yang Yu landed flawlessly, picking his direction and vanishing mid-air with a leap.

Meanwhile, Iyas’s Light Arrow pierced through, streaking across the skyline like a meteor toward Bar.

Another piece of Golden Glass generated in front of Gao Yuanyi. Just as the solid ice was about to hit Gao Yuanyi, a silhouette blocked his path, and an Illusion Shield swiftly extended from his Shield, blocking the oncoming ice.

"Temporarily leaving the battle.

Time to brush up on some passive.

Now is the moment to decide victory, it can’t be delayed."

The kind voice was succinct; this person’s judgment aligned with his own thoughts.

Since he’d spoken, Gao Yuanyi certainly wouldn’t be polite.

"Then I’ll leave it to you for now. I’m going to switch legs and come back to assist you later."

While speaking, Gao Yuanyi’s silhouette vanished in the sky, swapping places with another shadow, plunging toward the ground.

Bar had a premonition: if Gao Yuanyi is allowed to leave now, soon, he will return with the decisive strike.

Dragging this out further could prove fatal.

The ice shards drawn by threads trickled down as Bar severed all black threads, preparing to depart when Iyas’s launched Light Arrow rapidly reached his side.

His hand reached behind him, gripping a Long Stick, and Bar slammed it toward the incoming Light Arrow.

To his surprise, the Light Arrow pierced his weapon, striking his shoulder wielding the weapon.
