Chapter 1243: Second Battle Between Enemies

Nobody had expected any help to come during this critical moment. Not even Yu Caidie herself had expected help to come. In truth, both Yu Caidie and Yu Ziyang had their guardians. However, they never brought their guardians when they were out training, as that would be pointless.
Thus, they had entered the Devil Domain without their guardians. Yu Caidie believed that she had trained very hard. But when facing all these opponents, especially when her phoenix was captured, she still couldn't maintain her composure.
In fact, the phoenix had already burned through the net around it, but the short moment of distraction had caused her to receive numerous attacks and suffer heavy injuries. Di Lin had intentionally commanded to have her phoenix killed so that she would lose her calm and fail to escape.
One ought to admit that Di Lin was extremely good at scheming. Yu Caidie was completely helpless against his tricks. He was simply too good at seizing any opening she presented. Just as she had given up and Di Lin was on the verge of success, someone had appeared to block the final blow.
Along with the newcomer, a furious roar resounded, "You dare lay your hands on my woman? You must be tired of living, Di Lin."
Accompanying that voice were numerous lightning bolts shooting toward Di Lin. The newcomer was none other than Xiang Shaoyun, who had arrived with Devil Concubine. The duo had traveled far and wide in search of some devilsand. Whether it was for their own benefits or for the sake of the mission, devilsand was something they had to search for.
The moment they had arrived, they had sensed the intense battle. With Xiang Shaoyun's character, he naturally wasn't interested in getting involved. However, he couldn't stay out of it after hearing Yu Caidie's voice.
He had always viewed her as his woman. Regardless of whether she acknowledged it, it was a decision he had made and a goal he had been working toward. He was naturally infuriated when he found that someone was trying to kill his woman.
He didn't even say anything to Devil Concubine as he rushed over at his top speed. Fortunately, he was fast enough to block the fatal blow. If he was even slightly slower, she might have already died.
Di Lin was surprised to hear Xiang Shaoyun call his name out, but he remained unflustered as he faced Xiang Shaoyun's incoming attack with all his strength. Boundless flame swirled around him. With his high-tier flame, he could surprisingly face Xiang Shaoyun's lightning equally.
"Xiang Shaoyun, time for you to die," said Di Lin as he no longer bothered to hide his identity.
He brandished his sword and sent a slash forward. The sword tore through the sea of lightning and shot toward Xiang Shaoyun's vitals. The might of his Innate Flame Physique was fully displayed as all eight of his stars erupted and granted him a boundless combat strength capable of matching a peak Soul Foundation Realm expert.
Di Lin's strength surprised Xiang Shaoyun's, but Xiang Shaoyun showed no fear. He sneered and said, "I don't know how you survived, but you will die again today."
He took out the Overlord Skyslaying Saber and swung it, unleashing a wave of lightning infused with thick saber intent forward. Lightning and fire collided as the saber and the sword clashed, spreading destruction all around them.
While the two were engaged in combat, Yu Caidie took the opportunity to rush toward her phoenix.
She might have received some injuries with some of them poisoned, but she wielded a flame of extreme yang that would protect her from all poison. Her current priority was to save the phoenix.
Unfortunately, the other Soul Foundation Realm cultivators surrounded her and stopped her from reaching the phoenix. During the critical moment, a different figure arrived and instantly killed two people. The pressure on Yu Caidie dropped, and she immediately charged toward the phoenix.
When her gaze landed on the one who helped her, complicated emotions rippled in her eyes. She muttered, "Why did she help me?"
For some reason, she felt threatened. This wasn't a type of threat that would harm her physically. Rather, it was a threat related to the matters of the heart, but she didn't have the time to think about it. She had to first help the phoenix.
The intensity of the battlefield reached its peak.
Yu Ziyang had suffered miserably during the battle, and his entire body was ridden with injuries. If it wasn't for his armor, he would have been killed by now. As for the two Dragon Phoenix Academy overseers, one was killed, and the other was forced to flee with grievous wounds after killing one of his opponents. The two overseers might be strong, but their opponents were no pushovers either.
With the departure of the overseer, three of the peak Soul Foundation Realm experts no longer had an opponent. They respectively headed toward Devil Concubine, Xiang Shaoyun, and Yu Caidie.
Xiang Shaoyun could sense that it was getting dangerous. Their opponents had both the strength and numbers. He could no longer hold back as he immediately unleashed a fusion attack and blasted Di Lin away.
If Di Lin hadn't reacted fast enough, that one attack would have killed him. Even with a higher cultivation level, he still wasn't Xiang Shaoyun's match. Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to press forth, two peak Soul Foundation Realm experts charged over.
"Kill him! He can't be spared!" Di Lin commanded. He could see just how terrifying Xiang Shaoyun's foundations were.
The two Sovereigns used all their strength against Xiang Shaoyun. Two soul foundations appeared and sent a heavy pressure crashing upon Xiang Shaoyun. However, all their joint attack could do was force Xiang Shaoyun to reveal his true strength.
Fiery Lightning Storm!
Lightning and flame combined, and wind helped them spread. A boundlessly powerful might emerged and caused the joint attack to instantly collapse. The two opponents were frightened, but they still held their ground. Just as they were about to launch a counterattack, time seemed to stop for them. The next thing they knew was that their consciousness was fading away.
