Even the strongest cannot withstand being surrounded.
The East Extreme Demon Lord also began to suffer injuries—though, of course, this was all part of Nangong Xiyun’s act. She was far stronger than the original East Extreme Demon Lord.
The North End Demon Lord wondered whether the East Extreme Demon Lord would hold out till the end, but he still bet that once the latter had his fill of fun, he would leave without hesitation.
“Go on, show me what else you’ve got.”
“No matter what you do, we won’t let you leave today.”
“The Heavenly Demon Sect is finished.”
With numbers on their side, the Seven Stars Sword Sect could afford to speak boldly. Seeing the East Extreme Demon Lord’s initial arrogance wane only strengthened their confidence.
The East Extreme Demon Lord didn’t lose his temper, though his tone turned sharper. “You’re still far from being a match for me.”
But harsh words couldn’t turn the tide of battle.
Boom!
The East Extreme Demon Lord and the North End Demon Lord finally revealed an opening, failing to block a spell aimed at the room.
The room was struck and shattered, revealing the Left Envoy inside.
Cloaked in a murderous aura, he spoke calmly, “Perfect timing. Everything is ready. You’re all going to die.”
From the moment he appeared, his words dripped with confidence and menace.
The crowd was stunned. Could he really have some hidden trump card? Everyone grew wary.
But as the Left Envoy stepped forward, something felt off. “Where are the Right Envoy and the West Extreme Demon Lord?”
Focused entirely on preparing his killing technique, the Left Envoy hadn’t noticed the events outside.
At that moment, a loyalist left behind by the Right Envoy approached him and declared firmly, “The Right Envoy and the West Extreme Demon Lord have already left.”
“What?!” The Left Envoy’s face twisted in shock. How could they abandon him at such a critical moment?
The others were equally stunned. No one had expected the Right Envoy and the West Extreme Demon Lord to slip away from the start.
East Extreme Demon Lord: “You can’t be serious.”
North End Demon Lord: “Hey, hey, hey—since when was this decided?”
The North End Demon Lord truly hadn’t known. He never imagined the Right Envoy and the West Extreme Demon Lord would leave. What angered him more was that they hadn’t even bothered to take him along.
Seven Stars Sword Sect: “If what he says is true, there’s no catching up to them now. Let’s deal with the Heavenly Demon Sect remnants here first.”
The Left Envoy grabbed the messenger by the collar. “If you’re lying to me, you know the consequences?”
“I’m not lying. They’ve left, and they asked me to pass on a message.”
“Speak!”
“Drop dead, Left Envoy! Hack—ptui!”
The man actually spat a thick glob of phlegm.
Of course, it never reached the Left Envoy—the spit vanished before it could land.
The Left Envoy hurled the man to the ground and incinerated him with a spell before he could utter another word.
His expression darkened.
To think that two of the Heavenly Demon Sect’s strongest would desert him now.
The Left Envoy roared, “Right Envoy! West Extreme Demon Lord! No matter where you flee, I will hunt you down!”
His voice echoed through the Nightshade Forest.
Far away, the Right Envoy heard it—and left with a satisfied smirk.
Li Hongtao sneered, “Don’t waste your breath. You’ll die here today.”
“Hmph. Even with just the three of us, dealing with you is more than enough.”
By “three,” the Left Envoy meant himself, the East Extreme Demon Lord, and the North End Demon Lord.
The remaining Heavenly Demon Sect members were no longer a threat—most were dead, and the survivors were few.
“Sorry, but I’m out too,” the East Extreme Demon Lord suddenly announced.
“What now?” The Left Envoy thought he’d misheard.
“I had no idea the Right Envoy and the West Extreme Demon Lord had already left. If they’re gone, why should I stay and play the fool?”
Without hesitation, the East Extreme Demon Lord turned and fled.
He loved a challenge—but not a suicidal one.
Of course, some tried to stop him, but the East Extreme Demon Lord wasn’t so easily caught.
“Later, Sect Master. Hope you survive.”
And just like that, he vanished.
He’d actually escaped.
Now, only the Left Envoy and the North End Demon Lord remained, encircled by enemies.
If even one more got away, this entire operation would be a joke.
At least most of the Heavenly Demon Sect forces had been wiped out—only a few stubborn holdouts remained.
The North End Demon Lord edged backward, whispering to the Left Envoy, “Don’t worry. I’ll fight by your side till the end.”
“The Heavenly Demon Sect is lucky to have you.”
Compared to the others, the North End Demon Lord’s loyalty was genuinely touching. The Left Envoy couldn’t help but give him an approving look.
“But what do we do now?” The North End Demon Lord had subtly moved closer, positioning himself behind the Left Envoy.
“Relax. We still have a chance.”
“What chance?”
“When the time comes, I’ll use it. They’ll all die.” The Left Envoy spoke with absolute confidence.
North End Demon Lord: “...”
Even now, he wouldn’t share details. Fine.
Then there was nothing left to say.
In a flash, the North End Demon Lord struck—launching a thunderous punch into the Left Envoy’s back.
The attack was too sudden. Even the Left Envoy couldn’t react in time.
The North End Demon Lord pressed his advantage, unleashing a relentless assault while the Seven Stars Sword Sect joined in.
In moments, the Left Envoy was battered by hundreds of strikes, overwhelmed by the combined assault.
Then—BOOM!
A surge of demonic energy erupted from him, forcing everyone back.
But black blood trickled from his lips as he dropped to one knee.
Those attacks had nearly killed him.
“North End Demon Lord!” The Left Envoy’s voice was a snarl, but his eyes burned with confusion. Why?
The North End Demon Lord smirked. “Heh. I almost forgot my real name. I am Li Bei—of the Emperor Heaven Sect.”
“What?”
“Exactly what it sounds like. From the very beginning, I was never on your side. My loyalty has always been to the Emperor Heaven Sect.”
Li Hongtao stepped up beside him. “It’s true. Every word.”
The Left Envoy’s face twisted through a range of emotions—but fury dominated.
“Good. Good. Hahahaha!” He sounded almost unhinged.
This was the last betrayal he’d expected.
Even the Seven Stars Sword Sect was taken aback. Who could’ve imagined the Heavenly Demon Sect would abandon its own leader?
Truly, the demonic path was merciless.
Watching the Left Envoy’s downfall, the Seven Stars Sword Sect couldn’t help but feel a twisted satisfaction. Served him right.
But they couldn’t let him escape.
The battle resumed, the crowd surging forward once more.
Yet the Left Envoy stood, unflinching, and charged back.
“Alone—I am an army!”
Hundreds of clones split from him, counterattacking.
But Su Luo’s clones were flawed—too easily detected.
If it had been the Left Envoy’s true technique, the duplicates might’ve fooled them all, buying him time to flee.
Escape was his only option now. Alone, victory was impossible.
But Lin Xuan saw through the ruse, pinpointing the real Left Envoy mid-flight.
The Left Envoy spawned more clones, yet Lin Xuan’s discernment grew sharper with each attempt, dragging him back into the open.
Cornered, with no way out, the Left Envoy had no choice but to fight with everything he had.

villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

ither go to a cultivation world where a single sword strike can defeat ten thousand enemies. Or they travel back to historical dynasties to alter history and wield imperial power. At the very least, they'd go back a few decades to get rich using their future knowledge and build a harem. Who the hell would transmigrate here!
