d Hu Bin, who had already escaped, also saw him. In this moment of crisis, Hu Bin didn't have time to think about how a Qi Refining cultivator like Lu Xia Tian could enter such a cold place and be cha...After Zhou Zhiyu and his two companions forced Yu or into the encirclement of the twin-headed green demon lizards, they immediately retreated to avoid a situation similar to what Yu or had experienced.

And these two-headed green demon lizards didn't care about the conflict between Yu or and Zhou Zhiyu, three humans. Yu or was quite powerful, and no lizard of his kind could match him. However, the delicious flesh of the fire dragon was too tempting for the two-headed green demon lizards to resist. These lizards were happy with this arrangement; they first devoured Yu or, then turned their attention to the remaining three humans.

>>> Yu was attacked by dozens of frenzied green demon lizards. His demonic fire burned brightly, having a significant restraint effect on the green demon lizards. However, the sheer number of these green demon lizards, all above the tenth rank, proved overwhelming. Soon, his demonic fire was extinguished by their relentless attacks.

With the passage of time, Yu's wounds on his body also increased.

Zhou Zhiyu and the two others sneered, maintaining a distance from the battle circle that was both close and distant. Once Yu or desperately tried to break free from the encirclement of these green demon lizards, Zhou Zhiyu and his companions would intervene and force Yu or back into the circle.

“Miss Jia Yu, though this demon's strength is formidable, judging by the current situation, he probably won't last long. These dual-headed green demon lizards have already begun to surround us.” A somewhat taller man named Zhou Fang vigilantly watched the dozen or so demon lizards. Seeing that the chance of winning was slim, the pair of eerie green eyes in his gaze turned unfavorably towards Zhou Zhiyu and the others, beginning to encircle them from nearby.

“Hold on a moment, let's observe for a while longer. If it doesn't work out, we should retreat first. We can then hunt down these two-headed emerald lizard demons separately later.” Zhou Zhiyu said with a confident expression as if he had already won.

"County Princess Jia Yu is right, we don't necessarily have to get the Ding Feng Stone now. As long as we confirm that Yu or Yun fell here, knowing the whereabouts of the Ding Feng Stone will be a certainty. These Green Lizard Demons are powerful, but as long as we don't give them the chance to surround us, once they disperse, we can hunt them separately. The Ding Feng Stone will eventually fall into our hands." Another middle-aged man named Zhou Zhi Nian, who looked extremely composed, also nodded in agreement.

"Not right!" While Zhou Fang and Zhou Zhi were discussing, Zhou Zhuiyu, the young lady of Jia Yu County, suddenly changed her expression.

"What's wrong" Hearing Zhou Zhiyu's surprised voice, Zhou Fang and the two spoke in unison.

"The areas we passed through before also have other Double-Headed Demon Lizards, but their attributes are different, and their strength varies. But they all have one thing in common: these Double-Headed Demon Lizards will only gather together to attack when they encounter a powerful enemy." Zhou Zhiyu said in a low voice.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Miss Jia Yu, is that what you're saying" Zhou Fang and Zhou Zhi Nian, two middle-aged men, reacted at the same time, suddenly looking around. Except for the demonic lizards that had begun to encircle them from afar, forming a large encirclement, there was only desolate mountains and rivers, crashed ghost ships, warships everywhere. There wasn't a single person in sight.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware that a hunter lurks behind it—a true irony," Zhou Zhiyu said with grim brows, his voice low and commanding. "Retreat!"

"How did these people find us" Lu Xia Tian frowned. He felt his aura was tightly controlled, and from this distance, he couldn't even use his spiritual sense to detect Zhou Zhiyu and the others, let alone them finding him.

“I wonder who you are, hiding your identity like this is not a skill to be proud of. Why don't you reveal yourself” Zhou Zhiyu's body retreated violently as he spoke loudly and clearly.

“Come out, come out! This old man has his eyes on this定風石. You bunch of wise guys, get lost before I make you!” A familiar voice boomed. A man with a spiky hairstyle, bristling beard, and a jade gourd hanging from his waist appeared. Behind him fluttered a flamboyant scarlet cloak in the wind. A five-colored dragon head staff rested on his shoulder as he charged through the air.

“Item Madman!” Zhou Zhiyu and the other two were taken aback by the sight of Xiang Kuang, a notorious villain. Zhou Zhiyu looked around, seeing no one else approaching, and felt a little more confident. “Item Madman, you may be powerful, but to take on all three of us single-handedly is a bit too arrogant, wouldn’t you say”

Item Kuang Hu glared, "A few hours ago, a few guys from the Great Zhou said the same thing. But within a stick of incense they were completely subdued."

Lu Xia Tian was momentarily speechless. From the standpoint of cultivation, Xiang Kuang calling himself an expert from outside the world wasn't an exaggeration at all. However, this behavior looked more like that of a vulgar bandit than a true master. The aura emanating from Xiang Kuang made Lu Xia Tian's heart skip a beat. Compared to when he fought Xiang Duo in Xiang Du, Xiang Kuang's abilities had undoubtedly advanced another step. Lu Xia Tian had encountered powerful figures like Xia Hou Dun Feng, Mu Fen Ni Chang, and Xuan Yan Gui Wang. Now, looking at Xiang Kuang, he couldn't gauge the depth of his strength.

"Item Madman, we several great immortals are allied forces. Could it be that you want to tear up the alliance with my Heavenly Martial Kingdom here" Upon hearing Item Mad's words, Zhou Zhiyu felt a headache coming on. If it were someone else, moving them with emotion and reason might still have a chance for reconciliation. But in front of this madman known as Item Mad, wanting to achieve the same goal with the same means, hope was truly slim.

As expected, before Zhou Zhiyu could finish his words, Xiang Kuang, bored and impatient, idly scratched his ears and said dismissively, "Stop lecturing me with all that moralizing. Alliances are for the outside world. Now that we're inside this secret realm, what good is an alliance Cut the crap, either fight now or get lost!"

"You...." Zhou Zhiyu and the others were instantly speechless.

"In that case, my brother and I can disregard our alliance and have a showdown with Brother Kuang." At this moment, a pair of burly twins, as massive as mountains and shining gold all over, strode forward with golden light under their feet.

“Uncle Shi!” Upon seeing the twin brothers, Zhou Zhiyu’s face lit up with joy.

"Lady Jia Yu, please rest assured, with my two brothers here, no one will dare to bully our Tian Wu Imperial family!" One of the twins spoke.

"So it's the two Qinghu brothers. Old man, I was just joking with the younger generation just now." Xiang Kuang chuckled without changing his expression, "Since you two are here, I won't add to the excitement. Farewell!"

"This old scoundrel!" Zhou Shiqing, one of the two brothers, muttered under his breath. Ordinary cultivators liked to bully the weak and fear the strong. Xiang Kuang was a renowned master after all, yet he acted without any regard for propriety or shame when it came to this matter.

“Eastern boy, that Fire Jiao is about to collapse. Let's join forces and snatch the Defying Wind Stone, what do you say” Xiang Kuang turned his body while secretly transmitting a voice to Lu Xia Tian.

Lu Xia Tian was startled. He thought he had hidden well enough, but he hadn't expected to be discovered by Xiang Kuang long ago. "The twin brothers of this Heavenly Martial Nation are so powerful that even Elder Brother Xiang is wary of them. Besides those two men and one woman, there are also dozens of Green Demon Lizards. We only have two people. Are you confident"
