He was already gaining the upper hand in his fight against Rong Shi alone, let alone with Lin Qi also by his side.

Lin Qi quietly amassed strength, preparing to strike decisively and end Rong Shi's reign once and for all, lest a long night breed more dreams.

A brilliant sword light flashed above, Rong Shi struggling to resist.

Lin Qi's Emperor Phoenix Seal suddenly descended from the sky, the huge seal pressing down on her head, forcing Rong Shi to kneel on the ground.

A pained groan echoed, followed by the sickening crack of bone.

At the moment, his temples bulged with veins, and he strained every muscle to resist the Emperor Phoenix Seal pressing down on him.

Four ice phoenixes, their bodies interwoven like a flowing ribbon, emerged with an intense chill that spread in wisps of frost. The frigid air instantly engulfed the surroundings, suppressing the heat emanating from the magma and forming a thin layer of ice on Rong Shi's body.

The intense cold felt like countless threads silently seeping into the very marrow of one's bones.

When time was used to gather spiritual energy throughout his body to resist the expulsion, he still couldn't withstand wave after wave of frigid air.

The situation is already set. Resisting further would be nothing more than a dying struggle.

As his gaze shifted, he caught sight of Lin Yun lying in the center of the high platform. A flicker of gloom crossed his eyes.

The magma, which was flowing peacefully moments before, suddenly came to life. It transformed into countless fire dragons that charged towards Lin Qi.

Lava surged, heat waves rolled like tides. The surrounding ice crackled and hissed, bombarded by the intense heat, shattering into pieces. The scorching heat mingled with this furious assault, crashing towards Lin Qi and Chu Jiucheng.

The power of this move has increased several times over, radiating a palpable sense of pressure.

The blazing magma landed on him, instantly igniting a raging inferno.

The sight that greeted the eyes was a fiery red expanse.

Lin Qi and Chu Jiu Cheng frowned, their hands forming seals as they controlled their swords.

Countless sword qi gathered in the air, forming a menacing force that collided with the magma dragon.

With a deafening roar, the earth shook violently. Ice and fire collided, unleashing a surge of spiritual energy that rippled outward in all directions.

The magma in the crater bubbled and churned, restless and eager.

It seems like it's about to explode in the next second.

Ten thousand dragons go to the abyss!

Rong Shi let out a low growl, countless fire dragons gathered again, magma condensed in the void, converging above their heads, and surged towards Lin Qi all at once.

Chu Jiucheng didn't know when he had circled around behind him, a cold light flashed.

Fearsome sword qi raged in all directions, forcefully carving a wide path through the flowing lava.

Sword qi darted through the air in a blink of an eye, and Chu Jiu Cheng's figure flashed along with it.

In the next instant, Lin Qi slashed through all the Flame Dragons with a single sword strike, her blade tip aimed directly at Rong Shi.

Chu Jiu Cheng's Tianshuang sword carried the snow and frost, piercing towards Rong Shi's heart.

Two swords, even if they are extremely skilled, can only dodge one sword.

Another sword strike, he will surely bear the consequences!

After a moment's thought, he fully blocked Lin Qi's sword with all his might.

Chu Jiuchen's sword followed closely, piercing his heart. A fresh red blood instantly seeped out, but before it could flow, it was evaporated by the high temperature, disappearing completely.

At that moment, his face was slowly turning gray and pale, as if all life was being drained from him.

Chu Jiucheng exerted a little more force, his long sword piercing through his body once again. Rong Shi spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this very moment, the energy above his head shifted instantly.

If before it was scorching hot because of the lava, but everywhere still had a hint of vitality.

Just then, as Rong Shi spat blood, countless death qi condensed above his head, as if something was about to emerge.

If not for the fact that the three of them were close, both Lin Qi and Chu Jiucheng would have thought Rong Shi was dead just by looking at him with one breath left.

The thick stench of death surged, and finally even seeped out through Rongshen's wound.

Chu Jiucheng, afraid of being tainted by the death qi, drew his sword and retreated.

At that moment, Rong Shi's body went limp and he fell, but a sinister and eerie smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Lin Qi suddenly raised her head and saw a silhouette of an ancient door slowly condensing above Rong Shi's head, just like the gate that appeared when she used Huáng Hún Guī Zhī to reveal her Phoenix soul.

However, what's different is that the gate to Huang Hun Gui Zhi is dark blue and carved all around with ice phoenix clan

Tribal language.

The gate before me is black and white, the black pure and the white pure. The two colors collide, creating a huge visual impact.

The patterns on the door are also very mysterious. When you stare at the black gate, you feel like your life force is being consumed; when you stare at the white gate, you feel like your soul is being pulled away.

After just a few breaths, Lin Qi moved her gaze away in time, only feeling a lingering sense of unease.

"What kind of move is this?!"

Before, Lin Qi had never seen Rong Shi use his charm.

Chu Jiu Cheng's face was grim, and he slowly uttered a sentence: "The gate to the underworld!"

"The Gate of Life and Death?! "

Lin Qi was shocked, and a murderous intent surged through her body.

This thing is probably brought down from the upper realm by Rong Shi. In the Cangwu Realm, it has always only existed in legends, and even the news about it is inaccurate.

Looking at him like this, I'm afraid he's scheming something.

Lin Qi asked Chu Jiu Cheng: "Do you know how to deal with it?"

Chu Jiu Cheng's eyes were very complicated. He probably didn't expect Rong Shi to actually summon the Gate of Life and Death.

"Opening the Gate of Life and Death requires a massive amount of vitality, and he can't sustain it for long."

Lin Qi could sense the heavy death energy emanating from the boundary gate between life and death from a distance, her face slightly changing.

"The air inside the room was heavy with death. He wouldn't last long, and neither would we."

Chu Jiucheng: "Don't touch the death energy of the boundary gate between life and death, it will devour people's vitality."

"I know," Lin Qi said impatiently, "Just tell me how to deal with the Deathly Gate!"

Chu Jiu Cheng's gaze shifted, landing on Lin Qi's sword.

When the time was right, a flicker of awareness appeared in his eyes as he followed her gaze. A subtle shift crossed his features, and his hands moved with lightning speed, muttering incantations to control the Gate of Life and Death, which slowly began to open.

A terrifying suction force accompanied by a frenzy of spreading death instantly filled the surroundings.

Lin Qi and Chu Jiu Cheng were both sucked forward, death energy little by little devouring life.

Both of them could feel the vitality within them slowly fading away.

They couldn't even resist.

This feeling of powerlessness makes one face death more directly. A surge of fear instantly spreads within.

Their faces gradually grew pale, as if their life force had been drained away, and they became listless in an instant.

Chu Jiucheng finally knew what to do, and shouted: "There is the breath of life and death on the gate of the world of life and death. As long as you use a stronger breath to suppress the breath of life and death, you can forcibly close the gate."

"Stronger aura?" Lin Qi's mind was in a whirl.

What is her aura like?

"Imperial Phoenix's Qi!" Chu Jiucheng suddenly spoke.

Lin Qi's pupils dilated slightly, she glanced meaningfully at Chu Jiu Cheng, but didn't argue further.

Looking at the slowly opening gate of life and death, Lin Qi suddenly made up his mind. He held the Emperor Phoenix Sword in his palm and slashed it hard.

The crimson blood flowed gently, with faint dark veins visible.

Lin Qiy eyebrow didn't wrinkle, she wiped the fresh blood onto the blade. As she silently recited the incantation in her heart, a wave of intense pressure instantly enveloped the surroundings.

The Emperor's Phoenix Sword slowly emanated a sense of pressure.

The oppressive aura was chilling, domineering, and ruthless... Like an emperor high above, looking down on all beings.
