re, rapid shift nearly drove the five wolf riders to madness in their individual battles.Although the force besieging them was nearly half weaker than their own, the current situation was almost overw...Lu Xia Tian followed the remnant aura of the woman in black escaping with her primordial spirit, pursuing it all the way. After nearly two hours of swift travel, the surroundings had become extremely dim, with only occasional firelight flickering between the cave walls providing a meager illumination. 。

With a deafening boom, a massive burst of flames erupted. Lu Xiaoteng was startled. Someone was fighting ahead, their energy so shockingly powerful that their cultivation far surpassed his.

The woman in black was also unlucky. Her soul escaped just as she encountered this vast expanse of flames. Covered by the spiritual fire, her soul burned at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ashes and disappearing. 。Just as Lu Xiaotian had barely breathed a sigh of relief, a black shadow screamed and coughed blood as it crashed toward him. 。Huò Rán was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Right behind him, a quadrupedal fire snake with flames all over its body caught up. It already showed signs of becoming a Fire Jiao. 。Farther away, in a vast expanse, a larger fire dragon, several zhang long and fully formed, fought in mid-air with a woman in white. Below them lay a pool of scalding lava. 。Even from afar, Lu Xia Tian could feel the astonishing aura emanating from the blue and red flames rolling on the magma. 。>...for even approaching it was unbearable, let alone falling into it. One would surely suffer annihilation, both body and soul, with even one's primordial spirit unable to escape. The cannons that periodically erupted from the pool of magma would incinerate everything, reducing them to ash. 。Perhaps only Jindan cultivators could fight recklessly in the vicinity. 。This woman in white was someone he had met before, the woman known as the Eastern Fairy by the Zhou family patriarch in the camp – Dongfang Yi. 。At this time, the place was in complete chaos. Five cultivators and four fire serpents were locked in a fierce battle. 。Besides the golden elixir fire python, the other three were relatively smaller in size and weaker in strength. One of them, a sixth-order fire python, was unusually ferocious compared to the foundation building late stage cultivators. It single-handedly fought two white-haired foundation building late stage cultivators. 。The other two, slightly smaller ones, were each fighting against a cultivator at the Mid Qi Condensation stage and an early Qi Condensation stage. 。

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator had already been struck in the chest by the Fire Jiao's tail, his sternum crushed, and blood splattered all over him as he crashed against the stone wall and slid down softly.

The woman in white, along with three other Foundation Establishment cultivators, watched with anger and frustration. Although only the weakest of them, a Foundation Establishment initial stage cultivator, had been defeated at this time 。But they were barely able to hold their own against the four Fire Jao, and even the weakest of their defeated opponents had shattered the precarious balance they were struggling to maintain. 。Once the balance of victory tipped sharply towards Huo Jiao, perhaps Dongfang Yi, this Jindan cultivator, could escape using his strength. But these few Zhuji cultivators would have no chance of survival at all. 。Eastwardly, at this time, was set on obtaining the "Azure Fire Heart Lotus" in the magma pool. She absolutely didn't want to leave easily, and the Azure Fire Heart Lotus would soon be ripe for harvest. If she left now, the fire dragon would pick it. 。There's no next shop after this one. 。Without the Bihuo Heart Lotus, her cultivation of the Ice Fire Profound Heart Decision would remain stuck at a bottleneck, and her cultivation base would be unable to improve. This was something Dongfang Yi could never accept. 。Therefore, when Lu Xiaitian suddenly appeared and fought with the vacant fire dragon, several Qi Refining cultivators were overjoyed. 。"Haha, excellent! Fellow Daoist, you arrived just in time. Otherwise, we would have been hanging by a thread. Now, let's fight side-by-side and slay these fire serpents. Not to mention the rewards from the ancestor, even the materials on these fire serpents are rare treasures for refining artifacts." 。A goat-bearded old man entangled with six fire pythons roared with laughter. Seeing Lu Xia Tian hold his own, he couldn't help but swallow his heart back into his stomach. 。

Lu Xia Tian had no expression on his face, but inwardly he was cursing bitterly. He never wanted to get involved in this mess. All these people before him were cultivators who had ties with the Zhou family. He was just an outsider, and now due to circumstance, he could only fight alongside them.

But once the fighting is over, his identity could be revealed under interrogation.

The only thing was that this Level 4 Fire Jiao, after killing its opponent, immediately came after him. He wanted to leave, but the fire jiao was on a killing spree and wouldn't let him go. If he didn't fight back and defeat this fire jiao, there would be no chance of escape.

The Zhou family still has a Nascent Soul ancestor who hasn't shown up yet, who knows when they will arrive. If we wait for other cultivators from the Zhou family to come, he won't even be able to leave if he wanted to. 。Things cannot be dragged on any longer. As for these people in front of him, whether they live or die, he couldn't care less. Lu XiaTian quickly made a decision. 。Otherwise, not only will you be unable to escape the current predicament but you may also reveal your capabilities. 。Lu Xia Tian immediately thought of the Thousand Mile Divine Travel Talisman he had exchanged from Huo Yu Ming. It could greatly enhance his speed, making it ideal for escaping in such an emergency. 。After he had forced the slightly smaller fire dragon before him back with a single strike, he was preparing to invoke the “Thousand-Mile Divine Walking Talisman,” but at this very moment, the battle situation underwent a catastrophic shift in an instant. 。After a fierce battle, the sword qi that shot everywhere cut through a giant stone weighing tens of thousands of jin above the cave. 。Under the old man's plan, the giant stone fell precisely from the sixth floor, crushing the fire dragon. 。Tens of thousands of catties of boulders wouldn't be enough to kill a sixth-order fire dragon, but it would definitely affect its movements. Especially now, being besieged by two late Foundation Establishment cultivators, the fire dragon, which had just freed itself from under the boulder, was split in half by the silver axe wielded by the goat-bearded elder. A small fire dragon primordial spirit darted out from inside, didn't have time to escape, and in its panic, it was captured by the goat-bearded elder into a white vial. 。The seventh-order fire dragon, which was battling Dongfang Yi, saw its strongest descendant die at the hands of a human cultivator. It let out a cry of pain. As a seventh-order fire dragon with the spiritual intelligence equivalent to a nascent soul stage cultivator, it was highly intelligent and realized that the battle was rapidly deteriorating. The two human cultivators, who were quite powerful, had now freed themselves from their previous engagements. Its other two offspring would likely be killed soon as well. Even if it died, it would drag these human cultivators down with it. 。A fiery red demon pill shot out from the Seven-tailed Fire Dragon's mouth, carrying with it a massive amount of purplish-red flames. 。chilling 。Dongfang Yi's expression changed drastically. Although this place looked spacious, it was still cramped for a Jindan cultivator. 。The fire dragon's demonic core, as large as a sea bowl, came with such ferocity that it was impossible to dodge easily. 。Dongfang Yi gritted his teeth, the long sword in his hand bursting forth with an extraordinarily peculiar light. Half of the blade was a fiery crimson heat, while the other half was an icy blue chill. 。Two powers were surprisingly combined into a single artifact. 。It is precisely the Binghuo Xuanxin Sword forged from the meteorite iron of the Binghuo Domain in the East, and it is also a top-grade Dan Yuan magic weapon. Otherwise, a fire dragon as powerful as this seven-tiered Fire Jiao, an existence that's formidable even among its peers, she, a cultivator who had only recently advanced to the Golden Core stage, would have been no match for the Fire Jiao at all. 。At this time, the Fire Flood Dragon used its ultimate move, and Dongfang Yi also exerted the maximum power of the Binghuo Xuanxin Sword. 。The number of zhangs was like a real sword colliding with the fire dragon demon pill in one blow. 。Dongfang Yi's face turned pale, and the fire dragon let out a painful hiss. In the blink of an eye, they had collided dozens of times. With Dongfang Yi and the fire dragon at the center, the scattered sword qi and the purplish-red danfire from the fire dragon's demon pill being struck everywhere flew around chaotically. 。Whether it was the lingering sword qi or the purple fire from the Huo Jiao demon pill, they were both attacks of the Jindan level. In his battle with the Green Armored Skeleton, Lu Xiaoteng used the Lei Zhu, and the residual thunderous power that entered his body took him over a year to eliminate. 。Facing the full-strength attacks of two Nascent Soul cultivators, the power was naturally much greater than the explosion of a thunder pearl. 。Many passages near the cave couldn't withstand such a massive impact and collapsed with a deafening roar. One of them included the passage behind Lu Xia Tian. 。

What a mess!

Lu Xia Tian cursed inwardly, feeling the ill winds of fate against him. The level four Fire Jiao still refused to let go of him. However, he soon realized how lucky he was. Both the old man with the goat’s beard and the other foundation-building late stage cultivator were directly hit by the purple flame from the Fire Jiao's demon core and instantly burst into flames. Their entire bodies were consumed, and even their souls couldn't escape being incinerated to ashes.

Meanwhile, another middle-aged man in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and a sixth-order fire flood dragon offered little resistance. They were both cut into pieces along with their protective magic artifacts by the crisscrossing sword qi. Even their detached primordial spirits didn't get far before colliding with other sword qi and being wiped out completely.

Lu Xia Tian was originally just arriving, a little further away from Dongfang Yi and the seventh-order Fire Jiao. 。The impact was relatively minor. 。His heart ached with despair. He had never witnessed such a brutal scene before, two powerful cultivators of the Golden Core Realm clashing with all their might in a space that was far too confined. 。including the weakest of the four fire dragons he had fought, which at this time also abandoned its fight with him, wailing as it dodged the constantly spreading sword energy, the purple fire's afterglow 。No matter which one you encounter, death is certain. 。How did he end up in such a damned place Lu Xiao cursed inwardly, but fortunately, the passage behind him hadn't been completely blocked. It was still possible to reopen it at a cost. 。Lu Xia Tian directly summoned all the puppets to stand in front of him, the giant elephant, two-headed dog, and black bear puppets were all taken out and placed in front. 。At the same time, he controlled a fourth-order centipede puppet with his secondary soul and used its speed to clear the falling rocks from behind. 。“By the way, there are also two strands of Cold Iron Wood that have reached over two thousand years old within the barrier!” Under desperation, Lu Xia Tian suddenly remembered that when he was building his foundation, he had taken nine Foundation Establishment Pills before and after, and only used a small part of them. The vast majority of the absorbed spiritual power entered the barrier, nourishing the spirit grasses and spirit trees inside. Because the Cold Iron Wood was slightly taller in shape, it received more spiritual power than most other spirit grasses, so under the nourishment of the rich spiritual energy, the Cold Iron Wood grew in size and age year by year. A Cold Iron Wood that is a thousand or eight hundred years old is quite rare for a Golden Core cultivator, and one that is two thousand years old is even more precious. Since it is unusual for a Golden Core cultivator, it shouldn't be so easy to damage, right” 。The giant elephant puppet in front of him, along with over a dozen black bear puppets, seemed huge in size. However, they didn't bring him much security. Under the crisscrossing sword qi and purplish-red dan fire, they were cut apart like paper paste and turned to ashes. 。Facing such an attack, Lu Xia Tian didn't have the slightest confidence to resist. 。Lu Xiaotian hurriedly took out a stalk of cold ironwood, several meters high and slightly thicker than an ordinary person. The cold ironwood just stood in front of Lu Xiaotian. 。

Poof poof... Several sword energies slashed against the cold iron wood. Though they carved shallow scratches, the thick thudding sound made Lu Xia Tian's heart, which was pounding in his chest with anxiety, slightly calm.

With a booming sound, the Fire Serpent's crimson-purple flames also struck the cold iron wood, splashing quite a bit of fire and burning a small patch black on the cold iron wood before gradually extinguishing. 。Although Cold Iron Wood is also a kind of spirit wood, it also carries the coldness of ice and is not easily ignited. 。

is one of the few spiritual trees that are not restrained by spiritual fire.

and the fourth-order Fire Jiao, which had previously fought with Lu Xiaitian, cowered behind a huge rock, as if trying to use it to block the immense shockwaves generated by the battle between the Golden Core cultivators. It was undoubtedly a laughable attempt. 。After a moment, this fourth-order fire dragon along with the giant stone was split apart by the fierce sword energy. 。The primordial spirit fled wildly, seeing that the sword energy of the woman in white and the dan fire of the Fire Dragon could not destroy the spiritual wood blocking the human cultivator Lu Xia Tian. Driven by the instinct to survive, the Fire Dragon's primordial spirit directly fled towards Lu Xia Tian, and was directly captured by Lu Xia Tian using a small bottle. 。With a deafening roar, the passageway that had been partially opened by the centipede puppet collapsed again amidst a violent explosion. The centipede puppet was also crushed inside. Lu Xia Tian exerted all his strength to get the centipede puppet out. 。My heart was heavy with anguish, I struggled to find a way out of this wretched place. 。Suddenly, I realized the impact coming from the center of the fight seemed to have lessened. 。Lu Xiaoteng hid behind the Cold Iron Wood, carefully sticking his head out to look forward. He saw that the Fire Jiao's demon core had lost its luster. It was covered in a thick layer of purple-red demon fire. After repeated clashes with the white-clothed woman's spirit sword, only a few faint embers remained, and several fine cracks even appeared on the surface of the demon core. 。The fire dragon's aura was significantly weaker than before, almost on par with the deceased goat-bearded elder. 。Lu Xia Tian's heart jolted, could it be that his cultivation had temporarily decreased because he fought the woman in white to a standstillAs for the woman in white, her situation was even worse at this time, a mouthful of blood staining the front of her white clothes crimson. 。She trembled, holding her flying sword, her aura having plummeted considerably. 。At this time, the woman in white knew even more clearly that her strength was still a bit weaker than that of the fire flood dragon. Previously, she had only been able to tie with it because of the power of the Binghuo Xuanxin Sword, a dan yuan artifact in her hand. 。Before, she thought that as long as she held them off here, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators could win. Then, they would send someone to notify the Zhou family's other cultivators to come continuously, and ultimately they would achieve victory by dragging down these fire serpents. However, she did not expect this Golden Core stage fire serpent to not only be extremely violent in temperament but also have intelligence indistinguishable from ordinary people. Seeing that the human cultivators were gaining the upper hand, it immediately adopted this tactic of mutual destruction to kill all the human cultivators here. 。 woman's cultivation was far deeper than that of the lotus avatar. They had both suffered some injuries, but their conditions were much better.Chu Yangzi and Guan Penghe were also secretly startled. O...
