The demon soldier immediately drew his long sword, intending to hack the lowly and filthy human into pieces, but he was pulled back by a fellow demon soldier nearby.
Just as Wu Yingying and Bao Ya opened fire, a burst of gunfire erupted simultaneously from the side of a dim rock in the distance. A hail of bullets struck exactly where Wan Miao and Qiuqiu had been a moment before, and sparks flew instantly from the rock behind Wan Miao as the bullets hit.

One, two, three... more than a dozen blood essence pearls were now in hand. The harvest was immense, and every face was filled with expressions of wild joy.
Li Huai understood; Linglong was not crying from anger, but clearly from envy, jealousy, and being moved.
"Haha! Mo Fan, today is your day of death!" Li Bai was confident of victory. He had by now fused himself, the Bone General, and the Blood Spirit Bone-Eroding Array into one.
