The five of them worked together and performed their respective skills.
The air within a radius of one hundred meters was squeezed and contorted by a strong compressive force, and buzzing sounds rang out. The ground and the buildings on it were all shaking.
Kuang Zhan looked calm, and his eyes flashed with contempt. A wild fighting spirit was surging inside his body, and the golden armor on his body and the golden spear in his hand were shining brilliantly.
Swoosh!
The golden spear shining with golden light flew out from his hand, ripped through the air, and darted toward Jiu You.
Kuang Zhan lowered his waist, and with his Qi surging wildly around him, he launched a palm strike at the magic signet of Flaming Qilin’s Red Flame Fist.
Jiu You wielded the halberd and slashed at the golden spear coming at her. With a “clang”, sparks splashed, and golden ripples spread out. Her small body flew backwards like a kite on a broken string, and she lost hold of the halberd.
Boom!
Flickering flames were rolling and soaring into the sky. Kuang Zhan smashed the magic signet of Flaming Qilin’s Red Flame Fist with a palm strike. Terrifying Internal Breath surged out of his palm like raging waves.
Bang!
The layer of Red Flame Qi around Red Flame Qi was shattered. He was sent flying, spitting out big mouthfuls of blood.
The sword Qi from Yan Wushuang’s awesome strike hit Kuang Zhan, but it was smashed by the golden air current around Kuang Zhan’s body.
Jing Hong launched her magic signet, and numerous ice lotuses darted from the sky toward Kuang Zhan.
The golden air current around Kuang Zhan was very turbulent, moving at a high speed. He stamped on the ground violently, and terrifying Qi burst out of his body, forming a golden tornado that protected him.
Bang, bang…!
Shining ice lotuses kept hitting the golden tornado and blew up one after another, causing no damage to Kuang Zhan at all.
Boom!
The Demon-slain Finger was plunging down from the sky with the devastating power that could destroy heaven and earth.
Kuang Zhan let out a loud shout and launched a palm strike toward the sky. A golden turbulent current with mighty power soared toward the giant finger.
Boom!
Brilliant golden light burst out in the air, and a storm rolled in. The Demon-slain Finger directly blew up the moment it collided with the golden turbulent current.
Jiu You and Flaming Qilin looked sullen, with blood at the corners of their mouths.
Jing Hong and others also looked serious. Kuang Zhan’s cultivation level was too high for them, and they were no match for him.
“You are, after all, the top-ranked figures on the Earth. Is this the best you can do?” Kuang Zhan said very arrogantly with a contemptuous look on his face.
“It seems that you are just basking in the light of Chu the Devil. This coincides with the saying that even the dog swaggers when its master wins favor. You have earned your reputations relying on him, haven’t you?” Jing Lei said sarcastically.
Kuang Zhan shook his head in disappointment. “I thought that Chu the Devil would be a rare opponent, but now that I have seen how you performed, I guess he just has an undeserved reputation.”
Jiu You snorted coldly. “Your mouth stinks worse than your feet. If Chu Xun were here, you wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.”
“Really?” Kuang Zhan gave her a disdainful look. “Well, may I ask where Chu the Devil is? Is he so scared that he has hidden in some corner in fear and sent you here for death?”
Before Kuang Zhan’s voice faded away, there came a boom. Above the square were flashes of lighting accompanied by loud peals of thunder, and the surrounding buildings shook and collapsed. A shrill scream rang out like a ghost’s cry.
Everyone looked into the distance. Yu Xiyuan, who was breaking the formation, was sent flying, and the lower half of his body was gone. A purple flame was burning on his body.
“Ouch…” Yu Xiyuan fell to the ground and screamed miserably, writhing about on the ground.
Leng Rui reacted fastest. He raised his hand and threw a water dragon at Yu Xiyuan. This was his unique martial skill, the Ice Technique.
Unfortunately, he saw a shocking scene. Before the water dragon fell on Yu Xiyuan, the purple flame evaporated it, and white puffs of steam rose up.
Boom!
The purple flame blew up, shrouded Yu Xiyuan, and then vanished in the blink of an eye.
The pupils of the people of the Assembly of Immortals shrank, because after the purple flame vanished, Yu Xiyuan also disappeared, leaving behind only a human-shaped pile of ashes.
Dark clouds were rolling in the gloomy sky, and the wind was howling, blowing away the ashes on the ground. The people of the Assembly of Immortals couldn’t help shivering.
At this time, it began to rain. Sparse raindrops fell from the sky.
The Chosen Ones of the Assembly of Immortals were all silent. Yu Xiyuan failed to break Chu Xun’s magic formation, and he lost his life.
“Chu the Devil is really something. I have underestimated him,” Kuang Zhan said in a low voice.
He felt a chill surging through him. He just had a feeling that something was going to happen.
“Kuang Zhan, please take care of them.” Leng Rui became even more anxious. He said to Jing Lei and the others, “To save Wu Keyin, we have to rely on our combined power. I don’t believe that we can’t break a formation set by Chu the Devil if we make our moves at the same time.”
Kuang Zhan nodded and stretched out his hand to summon the golden spear, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
Jing Lei and his companions walked over to the magic formation and nodded to each other. Then they began to make moves like crazy, trying to break the magic formation by force.
Swoosh!
Kuang Zhan moved like a golden light beam and came to the front of Yan Wushuang in the blink of an eye. He thrust his dragon-like long spear straight at the latter.
Although Yan Wushuang was prepared for this, he was still taken aback by Kuang Zhan’s speed. He subconsciously placed his long sword in front of him to fend off the attack.
Clang!
The long spear hit Yan Wushuang’s sword blade, sparks splattered, and a formidable force came from the tip of the spear.
With a snap, Yan Wushuang’s long sword was broken from the middle by the golden spear. The tip of the spear easily pierced through his protective aura.
Pfft!
Blood squirted out. Yan Wushuang let out a muffled groan. The golden spear pierced through his shoulder.
Kuang Zhan shook the long spear gently and lifted Yan Wushuang into the air on the spear.
“Let him go!” Jing Hong shouted furiously. She hurled a long strip of white silk cloth forcefully into the air. Like a spear ripping through the air, it dashed at Kuang Zhan.
With his eyes flashing with contempt and coldness, Kuang Zhan looked at the strip of white silk cloth coming at him. He held the spear in one hand to keep Yan Wushuang in the air, and with the other hand that turned golden, he grabbed the strip of white silk cloth.
A golden light burst out from his palm, and the strip of white silk cloth was broken into countless pieces. Jing Hong’s pretty face turned pale, and she kept backing away.
Swoosh!
True Energy circulated Hua Qingwu’s long sword. She suddenly thrust her long sword at Kuang Zhan’s throat.
Kuang Zhan reached out his hand with a scornful look on his face. With a clang, the tip of the sword hit his palm, making a metallic sound, but the sword couldn’t pierce his palm.
He withdrew the golden spear with Yan Wushuang on it and thrust it out like a snake. The golden spear dashed at Hua Qingwu like a snake, and golden light shrouded her.
Pfft!
Blood spurted out, and the golden spear pierced through Hua Qingwu’s shoulder. Just like what he did to Yan Wushuang, he lifted Hua Qingwu into the air on the spear.
Hua Qingwu’s pretty face turned pale because of pain. She was trembling all over, but she bit her lip without making a sound.
Upon seeing that, Kuang Zhan laughed contemptuously. “Now I’m starting to admire Chu the Devil a little. After all, his woman is not ordinary.”
Jing Hong’s pretty face was ice-cold, and her True Energy surged wildly, rushing toward Kuang Zhan.
Kuang Zhan sneered, raised his hand, and slammed something down with his palm. A huge golden handprint fell from the sky.
Boom!
The huge golden handprint covered Jing Hong. The ground cracked, and the storm rolled up the soil, obscuring the sky and the sun.
Lifting two people in the air on his spear, Kuang Zhan rushed like a thunderbolt into the rolling waves of soil.
Pfft!
There came a sound like a sharp knife cutting through leaves.
Kuang Zhan passed through the stormy waves of soil. There was another person on his golden spear. It was Jing Hong.
Three persons on one spear.
Kuang Zhan turned his head and looked at Flaming Qilin and Jiu You.
“You are like a string of fruits. I wonder if Chu the Devil will continue hiding if he sees this.”
“You bastard!” Flaming Qilin wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. With the power of raging flames surging wildly inside him, he roared and came straight at Kuang Zhan.
“You’re being blindly confident,” Kuang Zhan said in a disdainful tone. He hurled out his long spear with three persons on it. The spear swooshed toward Flaming Qilin.
“Shameless!” Flaming Qilin roared angrily. “The long spear is carrying Jing Hong and the other two persons. Is he using the three of them as shields?”
Flaming Qilin was furious. He stretched out his hands and grabbed the tip of the spear, trying to save Jing Hong and the others.
“You’re daydreaming.” Kuang Zhan sneered. He took a stride forward and shoved the other end of the golden spear with his palm.
Pfft!
Flaming Qilin’s hands grabbing the tip of the spear could have been sliced off. It was a close call. The long spear pierced through his chest and continued to fly with him on it. With a tanging sound, it stabbed into an old tree, causing the tree to shake violently and the leaves to fall.
Tick, tick…!
Blood kept dripping from height. It was the blood of Jing Hong and the other three persons. The four of them were nailed to the tree by the long golden spear, looking like a string of fruits.
Jing Hong looked at Jiu You, whose blood was flowing out from the corners of her mouth, and signaled her to run.
Jiu You’s face was terribly pale, and tears were streaming down her face. She shook her head hard because she did not want to escape alone.
“Jiu You, be a good girl. I need you to take care of Qianlong Mountain.” Jing Hong sent her a voice message.
Jiu You shook her head desperately.
At this time, there came a loud sound of explosion, and the sky was filled with purple flames. Jing Lei and his companions fled in panic.
They tried to break the magic formation, but they were almost engulfed by the purple flames.
Wang He’s face darkened. He reacted too slowly. His clothes were ragged, and smoke was rising from his hair. He looked like a beggar now.
The flames also caught the others, more or less. Different parts of their clothes were burned. If they hadn’t run fast enough, they would probably end up like Yu Xiyuan.
“Kuang Zhan, get rid of them as soon as possible. We need you to take action,” said Jing Lei.
Kuang Zhan nodded. “I’m getting more and more curious about this Chu the Devil. I really want to fight with him.”
“You don’t deserve it. If Chu Xun showed up now, he would kill you easily with a snap of his finger. It won’t take him more effort than killing a dog.” Yan Wushuang looked pale, but he spared no effort to mock Kuang Zhan.
“If I were you, I would keep my mouth shut. If you can do that, perhaps I will let you die without suffering too much,” Kuang Zhan said coldly.
“If you want to kill me, just kill me. If I frowned, I’d be your grandson.” Flaming Qilin roared furiously.
“In that case, I will let you have it.” Kuang Zhan walked towards him step by step, but he suddenly stopped and looked at Jiu You. “I almost forgot you, little girl. Although you are young, your cultivation is amazing. If I let you go today, you will inevitably become a trouble for me in the future. In the words of you people on the Earth, we have to remove the roots of the weeds; otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future.”
“Jiu You, hurry up and run!” Jing Hong hurriedly sent a voice message to urge Jiu You to escape right away.
Jiu You was very stubborn. She shook her little head and stared at Kuang Zhan coldly, and her small face looked calm and relaxed.
“I didn’t expect that even a kid wouldn’t be afraid of death. You have my respect!” Kuang Zhan said indifferently. “In this case, I can’t spare you. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I will regret it in the future.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked toward Jiu You, and his Qi was soaring.
Naturally, Jiu You would not just stay still and wait for death. Seven-colored lights began to swirl around her body, and even her eyes turned the same color.
“Jiu You, don’t do it!” Jing Hong shouted anxiously. She knew Jiu You was going to turn into her original form and fight at the risk of losing her life.
Roar!
Jiu You still turned into her original form. It was a Colorful Hellish Python about 160 feet long. It was as thick as a train, and its size was scary.
The Chosen Ones of the Assembly of Immortals all froze.
Roar!
Jiu You raised her head and roared. Even the big raindrops falling from the sky were shattered. She opened her mouth and spewed out a blazing hot flame and a stream of mysterious ice toward Kuang Zhan.
Kuang Zhan raised his hand, and golden light burst out. He launched a palm strike and easily put out the blazing flames that Jiu You spewed out.
He launched another palm strike, and golden light swept toward the stream of mysterious ice shooting out from Jiu You’s mouth.
Just then, Jiu You suddenly wagged her huge tail and wrapped it around that old tree. With a rumbling sound, the ground shook, and the old tree was uprooted.
Jing Hong and the others were pinned on the tree by Kuang Zhan’s long golden spear. Jiu You directly pulled the tree out of the ground. She bent her giant body like a bow and whipped her huge tail, throwing the tree into the air.
“Jing Hong, hurry up and leave now!” Jiu You shouted.
The look on Kuang Zhan’s face changed abruptly because his long golden spear was thrown out together with the tree. It was a Sacred Relic compatible with the golden armor on him. It could be wielded flexibly at short range, and its power was tremendous. It could also enhance his fighting ability. Most importantly, it was very handy to use, so he definitely couldn’t lose it.
