Countless members of the Winged Clan swooped down upon them. Faced with the sheer numbers of the Winged Clan, Eastern Emperor and Zhu Hui, just two individuals, seemed like small boats adrift in the vast ocean, on the brink of sinking at any moment.

Eastern Emperor's face turned crimson as his energy erupted in full force. Under the intense surge of energy, his skin oozed red blood, and the vigorous energy continuously surged, boosting his strength several times over.

With a single punch, he directly smashed the head of a Winged Clan member in front of him. With a swift kick, he shattered another Winged Clan member into pieces.

In this moment, Eastern Emperor had reached the pinnacle of his life!

Zhu Hui, on the other hand, stood guard behind Eastern Emperor. The two of them had once fought Mutant Beasts together on the battlefield, and now, after such a long time, they had the opportunity to fight side by side once again.

"A Cheng, don't die!"

Zhu Hui shouted in a low voice, waving his hand. A massive palm suddenly appeared and slapped a group of Winged Clan members away.

At the same time, the Winged Clan's attacks began. For some unknown reason, the Winged Clan's attack method was quite singular. Their specialty was condensing energy spears and hurling them directly.

Countless energy spears whizzed through the air, resembling the firepower of numerous tanks. Among them were energy spears thrown by eighth-order Winged Clan members. Zhu Hui dared not attempt to intercept them all.

"Get out of my way!"

In an instant, Zhu Hui released his own domain. Within his domain, the energy spears flying towards him simply brushed past, not a single one making contact with their bodies. However, this drained a significant amount of energy.

"At this rate, it's impossible to capture Du Jing, let alone escape. A Cheng, we..."

Just as Zhu Hui was about to persuade him, Eastern Emperor suddenly roared. His speed increased dramatically, and he charged forward, effortlessly breaking through the Winged Clan members.

After all, the most powerful among these Winged Clan members were only Ninth-level Peak, while Eastern Emperor's strength was approaching that of a Small Galaxy level, making the difference between them quite apparent. In the situation of Eastern Emperor simply breaking through, they couldn't stop him.

"Oh no!" Zhu Hui exclaimed in alarm, and without hesitation, he used his abilities to teleport, instantly appearing behind Eastern Emperor.

It was teleportation!

Emperor Ming's Zhu Hui possessed a potent Transcendent Ability related to spatial manipulation. However, each use of teleportation consumed a significant amount of energy, so he rarely used it unless absolutely necessary.

The two of them fought their way out of the encirclement, bearing numerous injuries, and finally appeared before "Du Jing."

Eastern Emperor, a man of few words, immediately grabbed Du Jing by the neck with a cold look in his eyes. "Get out of her body!"

Du Jing's lips curled up, revealing a sinister smile. "It's a pity, you will never see her again in this lifetime. This body...belongs to me!"

Crash!

A loud noise resounded as Eastern Emperor and Zhu Hui were suddenly sent flying. A figure appeared before them - the leader of the Winged Clan!

The Winged Clan leader, who had previously looked down upon Du Jing, now knelt before her in reverence. "My lord, should I kill these two humans?"

"No, killing them would be too easy. Cut off their limbs. I want them to witness firsthand how this planet is destroyed."

The Winged Clan leader nodded deferentially and stood up, staring at the two of them. The immense pressure nearly rendered them unable to fly.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was immense - one was a Ninth-level on the planetary scale, while the other was a Ninth-level on the Small Galaxy scale. The difference was beyond measure.

Despite this, Eastern Emperor's gaze remained fixed on Du Jing, completely ignoring the Winged Clan leader.

"Zhu Hui, use your abilities to teleport out when the time comes."

Suddenly, Eastern Emperor relayed a message to Zhu Hui. The moment Zhu Hui heard it, he knew it was bad news. Eastern Emperor was about to self-destruct!

Facing the Small Galaxy ninth-tier powerhouse, Zhu Hui understood that it would be futile. The disparity in strength was too great. It was akin to a first-tier Transcendent self-destructing in front of them, which would have no chance of harming them.

Zhu Hui realized that Eastern Emperor's self-destruction was merely providing him with an opportunity to escape. Otherwise, in the presence of a Small Galaxy ninth-tier powerhouse, even if he possessed spatial abilities, he might not be able to leave.

"No!" Zhu Hui firmly refused.

Eastern Emperor knew he couldn't persuade Zhu Hui. He decisively prepared to initiate the self-destruction. Once it began, it would be nearly impossible to stop.

He was gambling, betting that Zhu Hui would definitely leave, and he wouldn't let his self-destruction go to waste.

As Eastern Emperor seemed on the verge of dying there, a voice reached their ears, saying, "We're here."

The moment the words were spoken, the "Du Jing" and the Winged Clan leader in front of them suddenly spewed blood and staggered.

"Let's go!" Zhu Hui didn't hesitate, grabbing Eastern Emperor and teleporting them away.

At this moment, within Du Jing's mind, the real Du Jing, standing in a dark space, suddenly felt the surroundings tremble.

Having spent so much time in the Psychic space before, she knew that when the space started to tremble, it meant that some external power was affecting it. If this space were shattered, she would have the opportunity to reclaim control of her body.

Out of a twisted sense of curiosity, "Du Jing" shared everything that had just happened with her. Faced with Eastern Emperor's determination to save her at all costs, Du Jing couldn't bring herself to hate him.

"Back when Commander Su Chen was able to rescue me from the Psychic space, it indicated that he and his subordinates possess Psychic powers. If they can help me break free from this place again, I'll have to contend with that Heart Demon Clan!"

Du Jing had regained her former self and was contemplating ways to regain control of her body.

This was something Su Chen had already considered.

The ones who intervened were his two Super Soldiers, Yuri and Libra, the only ones with Psychic powers. They used a Psychic shockwave together, injuring both "Du Jing" and the Winged Clan leader, giving Zhu Hui and Eastern Emperor a chance to escape.

The Winged Clan leader suffered only minor injuries, which didn't surprise Su Chen. However, the fact that "Du Jing" was equally injured raised some questions.

Just as Su Chen was pondering what was happening with Du Jing, the System's voice chimed in, "Triggered a side mission: Capture the Heart Demon Clan member who almost destroyed the Winged Clan. Success rewards Galaxy-version Spy Satellites; failure incurs no penalty."

Su Chen blinked. The information in this mission was quite significant.

A Heart Demon Clan member referred to the one who was controlling Du Jing's body?

It had nearly destroyed the Winged Clan? Why did it manifest within Du Jing?

He recalled Yun Ru mentioning that Du Jing had once come into contact with something the Zerg Hive desired most. Did that mean this Heart Demon Clan was what the Zerg Hive coveted most?

What exactly was the Heart Demon Clan?

So many questions flooded Su Chen's mind that he momentarily forgot to complain about the mission's rewards.

"System, don't you plan to explain this to me?" (To be continued)
