Long Chen and Mo Nian felt a terrifying pressure pushing them forward. At that moment, their blood surged violently, and they nearly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The overwhelming resistance nearly crushed them, and the barrier of Tianmu Mountain shattered a huge gap—this was the gateway to Tianmu Mountain.
Because the portal had not yet fully formed, the shattered talisman from the shattered sky screen still faced terrifying resistance. Long Chen and Mo Nian braved the violent resistance and pressed forward.
Xing Wujiang had already calculated the timing. He needed to get Long Chen and Mo Nian into Tianmu Mountain as soon as possible, especially Mo Nian—he needed to rush to the demon corpse's location immediately. He couldn't afford to delay even a moment, or many complications would arise.
Xing Wujiang moved extremely fast, but the Deputy Hall Master of the Fire God Hall was not slow either. He immediately sent Qian Wu inside, though he was still a bit slower than Long Chen and Mo Nian.
Setting aside whether the Deputy Hall Master of the Fire God Hall was stronger than Xing Wujiang, in terms of experience in opening Tianmu Mountain, he was a notch behind.
However, what Xing Wujiang did not expect was that at the very moment Qian Wu moved, four figures shot out like lightning, closely following behind her.
When they saw those four figures, not only Xing Wujian but even the Deputy Hall Master of the Fire God Hall was shocked. You have to understand, to dare send someone directly into the passage at the very moment the sky screen was torn open, only someone of their level would be able to do so; otherwise, it wouldn't be a handout—it would be a death hand.
Only their strength could offset the pressure from the Sky Screen fragments. In other words, among the crowd here, there were actually four beings of their own level.
"Buzz!"
Flames surged around Qian Wu, transforming into sky-covering wings. Unfazed by the pressure of the Sky Screen fragments, she accelerated again based on the power of the Vice Hall Master of the Fire God Hall, striving to catch up.
"You two damn useless fools, if you've got the guts, fight me, Huo Qianwu."
It was only then that Long Chen learned that the woman named Qianwu's surname was Huo. However, her words were rather vicious; with just one sentence, the two were both annoyed and amused.
Mo Nian couldn't help but respond, "Are you an idiot?" We've already gained the upper hand, and we still stay to fight you? Are you sure your brain isn't filled with dung? Mo
Nian wasn't used to indulging others; regardless of whether the other person was male or female, he would directly retort.
"You don't dare to fight, and you still dare to speak arrogantly. You've disgraced all the men in this world." Huo Qianwu sprang up and chased after her, her words never stopping.
"Your father is a man too, and so are we. How can you say that about your father's kind?" Mo Nian retorted without hesitation.
Mo Nian's words immediately made Long Chen slam the table in admiration. This guy's way of thinking is truly extraordinary, and his reaction speed is incredible.
Mo Nian's words nearly choked Huo Qianwu to death. For a moment, she couldn't find any words to retort, gritting her teeth in anger, and saw that the end of the passage was about to be reached.
"Buzz!"
Huo Qianwu waved his palm, and a flaming long whip shot out, heading straight for Long Chen and Mo Nianjuan.
As soon as the flaming whip was unleashed, the entire passage trembled. Long Chen and Mo Nian immediately felt a chill in their hearts. The passage was actually showing signs of closing. If it did, everyone inside would be crushed to death in an instant.
Clearly, Huo Qianwu had used some kind of force to compress the passage. If they didn't want to die, they would have to turn back and fight.
"That woman is crazy, I'll go kill her!"
Mo Nian was furious. After being provoked several times by this woman, his temper flared instantly. This woman was simply shameless.
"You have important matters to attend to. Leave this crazy woman to me." Long Chen shook his head. Mo Nian's target was that demon corpse, which concerned Xing Wujiang's life. This matter could not be taken lightly.
The more time he gave Mo Nian, the more chance he had to succeed. Seeing the flaming whip already behind him, Long Chen grabbed the whip with his left hand and pushed it toward Mo Nian's back with his right.
With a loud explosion, Long Chen's whole body glowed. Mo Nian was sent flying like a meteor. Using Huo Qianwu's power, Long Chen directly sent Mo Nian into Tianmu Mountain.
Long Chen had originally planned to mock Huo Qianwu after succeeding, but to his shock, the power on the whip made his blood surge, almost spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The force of this whip was truly terrifying. If Mo Nian hadn't shared part of the force for him, he would have been seriously injured.
"Boom!" Long Chen's
large hand gripping the flaming whip was forcefully deflected. Long Chen sent Mo Nian inside, but due to the recoil, his own speed suddenly dropped. At that moment, Huo Qianwu was already in front of him.
Long Chen snorted coldly and kicked fiercely at Huo Qianwu, aiming straight for her face. Normally, Long Chen would never use such humiliating moves against women, but this Huo Qianwu truly ignited Long Chen's anger, and he showed no mercy.
Seeing Long Chen's move, Huo Qianwu flew into a rage. Her flaming whip spun rapidly, forming loops of rope that shot straight at Long Chen's feet.
"You brat, rude! Leave your leg!"
Huo Qianwu's moves were as fast as lightning, and the flaming whip was even more agile and varied. As soon as Long Chen's foot got close, it was entangled by the whip. With a sharp shout, Huo Qianwu tried to use her strength to tear off one of Long Chen's legs.
However, what she didn't expect was that Long Chen had deliberately wrapped her leg around her, while the other leg spun and delivered a side kick, aiming fiercely at her cheek.
"Smack!"
Huo Qianwu reacted quickly, instinctively covering her cheek with her palm. Long Chen's kick landed in her palm, and her force couldn't counteract it. Her palm slammed hard into her face, and her whole head was thrown backward.
Although the kick didn't land directly on her face, it made no difference—Huo Qianwu was sent flying.
"Crack, crack, crack... Huo
Qianwu was kicked away by Long Chen's kick, but she remained calm. She yanked fiercely with her flaming whip, and countless bone spikes sprouted from it. Even after being kicked, she tried to tear one of Long Chen's legs off. However, the spikes didn't pierce Long Chen's flesh and blood; instead, they pierced the scales of the dragon. The bone spikes scraped through Long Chen, producing a harsh grinding sound.
As the flaming whip slashed across Long Chen's leg, one of his thighs, covered in dragon scales, was already carved into countless white grooves, from which blood was faintly seeping out.
The two exchanged moves. Although Long Chen gained a great advantage and kicked Huo Qianwu away, his heart was filled with shock. He looked at the flaming whip in Huo Qianwu's hand, and through the roaring flames, he saw a whip made of bone.
"Bone of the Flame Dragon" At
this moment, Long Chen finally recognized the origin of the flaming whip.
