Bai Yang was dumbstruck while everyone else was dumbfounded.

In order to appease everyone, the Demon King suggested striking Bai Yang three times. Everyone around them silently approved. After all, when the Demon King makes a move, there is no one who could survive all three blows. If the traitor, Xie Zetian, took three blows from the Demon King, even if he didn’t die, he’d still be ruined. Therefore, everyone thought that Xie Zetian would definitely die this time.

But nobody expected that after receiving that frightening strike, Xie Zetian would unexpectedly be fine.

It was amazing!

Bai Yang was the first to react. Just now, when the Demon King attacked, the South Sea Mermaid’s Pearl suddenly emitted a burst of white light. It formed a protective cover that wrapped tightly around him.

He remembered that when the Demon King gave him the South Sea Mermaid’s Pearl, he’d said that he’d put his personal shield inside the pearl. Said shield could resist three of his strikes at full power.

As such, the Demon King suggesting that he take three strikes was actually him letting him go. This was him intentionally letting Bai Yang walk away.

Bai Yang felt choked up. The Demon King never planned to hurt him. Even though Zhou Ying had destroyed the Palace of Eternal Darkness, the Demon King was doing all he could to protect him.

It was because he’d told the Demon King that his and Zhou Ying’s life were linked.

A crack had already appeared on the South Sea Mermaid’s Pearl.

“Second hit.” The Demon King’s calm voice reached his ears.

Bai Yang regained his wits. The Demon King gathered magic over his whole body. The power of it was so great, it was like being at the heart of a hurricane.

Bai Yang quickly braced himself.

Suddenly a flash of lightning appeared in the sky. The huge magical power attracted spiritual orbs. A huge ball of light formed over the ruins and struck Bai Yang in the head with a crack.

The power behind that strike was no less than that of tribulation thunder one had to endure to enter the Crossing River Stage. It was a narrow escape.

Bai Yang was trapped deep within it and could feel its power even more.

He was surrounded by a barrier, which cut off most of his magic.

The shield started to crack, allowing the magic to pass through and hit Bai Yang hard enough to make him spit blood.

The might of the thunder and lightning gradually dissipated. Bai Yang was sore all over from the beating. While he looked miserable, all he had were superficial wounds.

“Dad!” Zhou Ying cried out in fear. He rushed to jump up and support him. He said while choking on sobs, “Are you alright, dad?”

“Son….” Bai Yang pretended to cough twice and said with his last breath, “I’m alright….”

Zhou Ying was on the verge of tears. “How can you be alright when you look like this? Don’t lie to me!”

Bai Yang vomited a mouthful of blood.

The Demon King, who was standing far away, watched him spit blood. His body was shaking slightly as if he wanted to go over there, but he ultimately had to restrain himself.
