Without a doubt, Demonic Eyes are the nemesis of Demonic Bears. The latter have extremely good physical defenses, but their defenses against mental attacks cannot really be praised. As Demonic Bears are magical beasts of the sixth step, a Demonic Eye is unable to break their defenses, but with a mere Spirit Shock, a Demonic Eye is able to put these Demonic Bears in a daze. And, given that the Demonic Bears were climbing, it would certainly cause them to fall down. Given their massive stature, such a fall would not be much different from a tree falling, greatly influencing the climb of the other demons. This way, the area defended by Long Haochen and Han Yu didn’t sustain many attacks from the incoming demons.

The knights present all being veterans of practical battles, they didn’t rush to join. They rather chose to focus on reinforcing the other areas of the battlefield, leaving Long Haochen and Han Yu plenty of room to battle.

An orange glint shone on Long Haochen’s left arm, coming from Divine Obstruction.

_Bam!_ Long Haochen didn’t move, not even an inch. The highly concentrated dark red blade turned instantly into countless specks of light, as a thick, bright light lit up Long Haochen’s surroundings. A resplendent flash of light rose up abruptly, taking the shape of a dazzlingly bright lightning bolt, aimed straight at two powerful enemies.

In the instant that followed Long Haochen’s action, Han Yu also acted. The wings at his back followed after Long Haochen, and the instant after taking off, his eyes became a bloody red, as he aimed for the Fiend Commander on the right side.

As if the Demonic Eye was sticking to Han Yu, he followed Han Yu the whole way.

Lightning Flash reached a frightening speed, and Long Haochen was aiming it at the area in the middle of two Fiend Commanders, as if aiming to attack the two at the same time.

The Fiend Commander brothers weren’t twins for nothing. On their faces appeared looks of contempt. One of them held his sword in his right hand, the other one had his sword on his left hand, and the two of them held their other hands together. The Fiend Commander on the left swung his arm, suddenly aiming a chop forwards while throwing his brother ahead, along with a blood-colored sword edge. In mid-air, one could vaguely see a massive Fiend figure flashing, surrounded by a dark area.

A fist-sized, blood-colored skull suddenly launched from the sky, aimed at Long Haochen.

Although this blood-colored skull was small in volume, the instant it came into their view, Long Haochen and Han Yu both had a slight feeling of terror.

Right at this moment, the Demonic Commander reacted. Soft, distorted ripples were spread to a one-meter diameter around that massive eye. Immediately, the black mist that was forming behind that blood-colored skull was dispelled, revealing the figures of the two Fiend Commanders, and at the same time, that Mental Shock attack caused them to slow down.

In the state of Lightning Flash, Long Haochen was indeed just too fast. From the instant that red skull appeared, it took no time for Long Haochen to clash with the enemy. However, it wasn’t Long Haochen’s body that impacted, but his snail-carapace-shaped shield, which changed instantly into a size merely one-third of a meter in diameter.

With a ’ _Pam’_ sound, the blood-red skull struck the shield, and a soft orange light quietly spread to the surroundings, mystically dissolving that terrifying force.

In fact, at the time the Fiend Commander brothers joined hands, their combined force already reached the level of the ninth step. This blood-colored skull was comparable to a perfect Spiritual Highland! Unfortunately, they encountered an Epic Tier shield originating from the transformation of a legendary Starlight Divine Beast.

However, that blood-colored skull was not merely an offensive skill. After its offensive strength got dispelled, the skull acted as if it was alive and stuck to the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon.

With a dark-red glint of light, the skull-shaped face turned into a Fiend, biting at the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon.

This skill of the Fiend Commander brothers was very tyrannical. The great talents bestowed upon the two brothers made them receive the appreciation of the Demon God of Death Saminaga, and he personally taught them for a period of time. Therefore, they vastly surpassed any other Fiend Commander of the same rank in terms of skills. Otherwise, they wouldn’t take the initiative to face off against a Saint Knight clad in an epic tier Gold Foundation Mythril Armor.

Moreover, this blood-colored skull also had a terrifying ability of contamination. Creating this blood-red skull requires the blood and part of the soul of a Fiend, and thus, it could be called either a skill or a piece of equipment.

From the Fiend Commander brothers’ previous attempts, even a piece of Legendary Equipment would, after getting bitten by the blood colored skull, become damaged, or even get destroyed. Even a piece of epic equipment would be greatly affected.

When they saw the shield of the epic tier, they decided to use this blood-colored skull. This thing was named Blood Grudge, a powerful cursing ability that would give headaches to any human powerhouse.

Unfortunately, they found the wrong opponent this day. If the brother had aimed this Blood Grudge at Long Haochen’s Gold Essence Foundation Armor, it would perhaps have had some effect, requiring Long Haochen to waste some time to get rid of its effects. But to their bad luck, their target this time was the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon.

In fact, in all of human history, Starlight Divine Beasts such as this Divine Snail of Sun and Moon had appeared only three times, and as the spokespersons of the Goddess of Light, the purity of their light attribute surpassed even a Scion of Light such as Long Haochen.

How could a light attribute of such purity be contaminated by the effects of this kind of cursed magic item?

At the same time that the orange glitter of the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon shone, a gentle and luminescent sparkle spread out from the shield, engulfing that Blood Grudge.

Then, the Divine Snail Shield Moon lit up with intensity, and let out an intense ray of light, repelling all the surrounding darkness without exception. In the scope of this bright light, Long Haochen and Han Yu both felt as if they were refreshed by a sunrise.

An immense sun appeared, causing Long Haochen’s left arm to feel heavy. The spiritual energy in his body was drained at a frightening speed. In under a second, fifty thousand units of spiritual energy were used up like that. But by chance, this amount was extracted from the Gold Essence Mythril Armor, otherwise, he would have been totally sucked dry.

But this energy wasn’t consumed without good cause. Under the influence of the formidable area of bright light, the Fiend Commander brothers came suddenly to a standstill. They were shouting in pain, but remained totally motionless. A black gas was released from their skins, coming from within their bodies which were crumbling at a frightening speed.

_What is happening?_

Not only were the enemies stunned, even Long Haochen was in shock. It was so extreme that it even attracted the attention of Long Tianying and Saminaga, who were mainly in the sky serving as means of deterrence.

That golden color was really extraordinary. It seemed as if the seven colors of the rainbow were glinting inside, like soft waves rippling inside. This phenomenon covered an area a hundred meters in diameter, in which only Long Haochen, Han Yu, the Demonic Eye and the two Fiend Commanders remained.

The Demonic Eye disappeared the instant this light appeared, relying on his contract to leave. Even if this bright light wasn’t directed at him, he didn’t dare remain here.

But Han Yu and Long Haochen had another kind of feeling. They felt that this extraordinary bright light had attained a state of transcendence. All the spiritual cavities in their bodies shivered bizarrely. At each shiver, their internal spiritual cavities felt as if they were expanding. And the spiritual energy in these cavities was transforming to enter the state of Spiritual Highland at a frightening speed.

_What happened? And how?_ Long Haochen himself didn’t know, but these two Fiend Commanders were rapidly crumbling, disappearing bit by bit.

Their roars of alarm and shouts of rage were of no use at all. In the rainbow-colored light, all efforts were futile.

The Snail Shield of Sun and Moon already changed its color from the orange color of the epic tier, gaining a golden iridescence that continuously moved around it. Blood Grudge had dispersed long ago, directly crumbling from contact with the shield.

In the sky, a gray shadow flashed to Long Haochen’s location, and beside it, a blue-gold radiance flickered.

No sound came, but in midair, a stormy light source spread out.

This light source was made from a mix of gray and bluish-gold colors. Then, Long Tianying could be seen sitting behind it on the Divine Throne of Law and Order, while Saminaga returned to his original location, his body letting out some gray undulations.

In the previous clash, neither of the two sides had the advantage. But judging from their faces, Long Tianying was visibly a lot more nervous.

Certainly, Saminaga was aiming to save these Fiend Commander brothers, but Long Tianying had stopped him.

Until now, the two armies retained a lot of self-control, seeing that none of the other powerhouses of the ninth step followed the two commanders. That’s because neither the demons nor the Knight Temple could bear such losses.

As the Demon God of Death, Saminaga wouldn’t let his elites die without reacting! If such loss persisted, how would he be able to stand on an equal footing with the Moon and Star Demon Gods?

At this moment, Saminaga and Long Tianying’s gazes were focused on that seven-colored light. Intense changes also happened to the air forces in mid-air.
