Xiao Xiao Li arrived before Shen Kuo in the blink of an eye!

But it was just at this critical moment——

"Go die!"

"The Heaven Fighting Mother unleashed a barrage of vines!"

"The target was actually all the Shen family members, including Zhong Minglan."

"After all, the Heaven Fighting Mother came today to avenge the extermination of her clan!"

"Of course we must let Shen Qingli taste the pain of extermination!"

And it is also at this moment——

Di Jin and Shen Qingli have already emerged from the altar.

But they hadn't even had a chance to act before they no longer needed to.

"Ah!"

"Little Xiao Li barefoot stepped onto the Heaven Fighting Mother's head!"

"Hum."

A circle of gray mist naturally emanated from the little one's body……

It instantly engulfed the dozen or so black vines that the Heaven Fighting Mother had burst out.

All the Shen family members who had almost been skewered and roasted were stunned……

Even Shen Kuo, who had already sensed Xiao Xiao Li's aura, had already opened his arms, ready to catch the little one.

Who would have thought, this little one actually stepped on the Heaven Fighting Mother's head and even easily thwarted her killing move!

Shen Kuo broke out in a cold sweat, and at that moment he rushed forward heedless of danger, intending to grab back the obviously fearless little one, like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers.

But this little Xiao Li is truly fierce!

"Ah!"

The little one, stomping her feet while talking back to the Heaven Fighting Mother's skull, was fuming!

She even stomped the Heaven Fighting Mother into a daze—her head was buzzing and she really couldn't figure it out.

Actually, she didn't even need to think about it……

Shen Qingli's voice came through just in time.

"Xiao Xiao Li!"

"Ah?"

In the instant the little one turned her head,

She had already been scooped back into Di Jin's embrace with a flick of his sleeve.

And then, there was no afterwards.

"Ahchoo!"

Jiu Li descends.

"Ying!"

Jiu Ying descends.

"Ming!"

Shen Que descends.

Three beasts, three battlefields, simultaneously unleashing carnage——

Jiu Li, with a single sweep, wheeled the Heaven Fighting Mother around and smashed her into the ground!

Smash hard!

Smashing with a "bang bang" sound!

Directly smashing her human form to pieces.

Bursting out as a gloomy green gelatinous substance made from Qilin King Vine.

Staging a violent frenzy!

And Jiu Ying, as soon as his nine heads emerged, directly devoured those non-human, non-vine creatures of the He clan.

After all, he's no longer human, so Shen Qingli won't stop him, and she lets him eat to his heart's content.

However, Jiu Ying belched while eating, because he's not human—he doesn't like eating this!

"Damn!"

"What disgusting stuff!"

"It's so hard to eat!"

Even if it's hard to eat, we still have to eat it.

Jiu Ying held his nose and endured it.

"Ming!"

Demonic fire descends!

Shen Que, burning everything in a single blaze!

And it burned all of the Si clan's defensive talismans.

Shen Duo, Shen Qingmo, and the others immediately charged in, subduing all of these human-vine hybrids.

"Click!"

But the heavenly gate of the Taiqing Palace suddenly swung open.

Immediately after——
