Why aren't we chasing anymore?
"These stone pagodas must contain the treasures of ancient experts. Let's go in quickly. If we're late, there will be nothing left!" Tang Zhi urged.
"Let's go!"
The four of them quickly entered the stone forest and ran towards the ancient towers.
However, they soon discovered that the stone forest was like a maze. They couldn't find any towers.
Roar!
Roar! At that moment, three huge leopards spat out flaming true qi and pounced towards them.
"It's the Flame Leopards!"
The three Flame Leopards were all Blood Tempering Realm beasts. They could spit out true qi flames with terrifying power. They could melt rocks into magma in an instant!
"Brother Luo, be careful. Stay behind me!" Song Chen said to Luo Zheng with concern. His burly figure pounced forward!
"I'll block these three beasts. You guys think of a way to defeat them one by one. Golden Armor Tactic!"
Song Chen shouted. His powerful body was covered in a layer of golden true qi that condensed into the shape of armor. He stood at the front and fought with the three Flame Leopards. The scorching flames and sharp claws couldn't penetrate his golden armor.
Tang Zhi and Zhou Dongshi punched with their fists. Streams of true qi fist energy smashed towards the Flame Leopards. However, the Flame Leopards had thick skin and flesh, so it was difficult to injure them.
After a while, Song Chen was forced to retreat. After all, two fists couldn't fight four hands. Although he wasn't afraid of the Flame Leopards' attacks and his fighting strength was astonishing, the beasts' strength was astonishing. He could barely handle them.
Tang Zhi and Zhou Dongshi's defense was weak. They didn't dare to let the beasts get close to them. They could only retreat further.
Gradually, Song Chen was unable to hold on.
After a while, a Flame Leopard's sharp claws pierced through Song Chen's golden armor. Although he dodged quickly, it still left a large hole in his clothes!
Tang Zhi saw that the situation wasn't good. He glared at Luo Zheng and shouted, "You trash, you only know how to hide behind us. Why aren't you going to block the beasts?"
Luo Zheng didn't say anything. His body remained motionless as he watched Song Chen being besieged by the three ominous beasts. His face revealed a doubtful look.
Zhou Dongshi's eyes flashed with a sinister light as he whispered to Tang Zhi, "This brat has been scared silly for a long time. He really is a piece of trash. Once that big idiot can't hold on any longer, we'll leave and let the two of them block him!"
At this moment, Luo Zheng also drew a long sword from his backpack and charged forward.
This steel longsword was bought from the army. The Blue Separation Sword was too shocking and could not be easily used in front of others.
"This brat actually wants to engage in close combat. Isn't he courting death?" Zhou Dongshi could not help but sneer when he saw this.
"Brother Luo, please don't come over."
Seeing this, Song Chen panicked. The Flame Leopard's attacks became even more ferocious, forcing him to retreat continuously.
Suddenly, a Flame Leopard broke through Song Chen's defensive line and pounced towards Luo Zheng.
Whoosh!
Luo Zheng was startled and frowned. However, he did not retreat. Instead, he moved even faster and stabbed the Flame Leopard's eyes with his sword.
The sword was as fast as lightning, but it missed and only sliced off half of the leopard's nose.
Roar!
The injured Flame Leopard immediately let out an angry roar. It stopped attacking Song Chen and pounced towards Luo Zheng.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A terrifying flame that was three feet long viciously shot towards Luo Zheng. Fortunately, he had rapidly retreated after his sword attack had succeeded, allowing him to avoid this attack.
However, the Flame Leopard had been injured by Luo Zheng, so how could it let him go? It roared repeatedly and chased after Luo Zheng.
"I'll lure it away first. You guys kill these two ominous beasts and then come save me." Luo Zheng shouted. The Flame Leopard had already caught up. Without waiting for their reply, it ran away.
"This brat is dead for sure. He's only in the Membrane Forging Realm. How can he be faster than a leopard that specializes in speed?"
Tang Sheng said coldly.
In a short while, Luo Zheng had already bypassed a few rocks and ran to a place where Song Chen and the others couldn't see.
"Strange, that Song Chen seems to be hiding his strength. Those Flame Leopards can't hurt him at all. His clothes are torn in several places, but it seems like he did it on purpose."
Luo Zheng muttered to himself as he pondered in his heart as he ran.
The Flame Leopard behind him had already caught up. Luo Zheng looked around and saw strange rocks everywhere. "They shouldn't be able to see me here. I can attack now!"
Luo Zheng was about to take out the Blue Separation Sword from his Deity Sea when five figures flashed in the distance. They were the five girls from the Young Phoenix Battalion who had entered the pit earlier.
"He's only in the Membrane Forging Realm and he dares to come here. He's really bold."
"Aiya, this Flame Leopard is in the Blood Tempering Realm. If this continues, he'll be eaten."
…
"Hmph, he overestimated himself and came here to die!" One of the girls in yellow said coldly.
Obviously, the girl in yellow was the leader of the group. They looked at Luo Zheng with pity in their eyes, but no one dared to say anything.
"Let's save him."
Suddenly, a black-clothed young woman's figure paused for a moment. She dashed towards Luo Zheng, and the sword in her hand shook.
With a swoosh, a sharp sword qi shot out and cut open a wound on the Flame Leopard's forelimb.
Then, the girl in black's figure flashed and appeared beside the Flame Leopard. Sword qi burst out again and after a dozen strikes, the Flame Leopard was cut into a pile of meat paste.
"So strong!"
Luo Zheng exclaimed inwardly. Although the girl in black was also in the Blood Tempering Realm, she was much stronger than Tang Zhi and Zhou Dongshi. Her sword technique was extremely powerful and it was likely a high-grade human-step sword technique.
"Miss, thank you for saving me." Although Luo Zheng could have killed the Flame Leopard himself, the girl in black had helped him with good intentions. Naturally, he was grateful.
"Hurry up and leave this place. This place is extremely dangerous. There are even vicious beasts in the Viscera Refining Realm."
The girl in black glanced at Luo Zheng and rushed off to catch up with her companions.
Luo Zheng didn't think too much about it and quickly ran back the way he came.
When he returned to the place where he had fought the Flame Leopard, Luo Zheng's expression changed. Tang Zhi and Zhou Dongshi were already dead.
Tang Sheng's body was covered with terrifying wounds. Half of his head had been bitten off. Zhou Dongshi's body was completely charred. He had been burned to death.
The death of the two Flame Leopards was even more horrifying. Their heads had been twisted off and their bodies were lying on the ground.
"Brother Luo Zheng, you didn't die?" Seeing Luo Zheng appear, Song Chen was slightly surprised and overjoyed.
"I met the people from the Young Phoenix Camp. They saved me. How did this happen?" Luo Zheng looked around and asked in horror.
"Sigh, these two vicious beasts suddenly went crazy and their strength became extremely terrifying. I didn't have time to react and almost died in their mouths. Fortunately, Tang Zhi and Zhou Dongshi risked their lives to block the vicious beasts and saved their lives. Although the vicious beasts couldn't last long, the two of them died in the end. In the end, the vicious beasts were exhausted and I risked my life to take revenge. "
Song Chen's face was filled with sorrow and his eyes were red.
"So that's how it is." Luo Zheng looked pensive. With a sad face, he said, "Brother Tang and Brother Zhou sacrificed themselves for others. It's really touching. Let's think of a way to bury them properly."
Luo Zheng turned around and walked towards Tang Zhi and Zhou Dongshi's corpses.
Seeing Luo Zheng turn around with his back to him, a cold smile flashed across Song Chen's face.
He moved and silently stretched out his big hand, slowly grabbing Luo Zheng's neck.
Seeing that Luo Zheng was completely unaware, Song Chen's mouth curled into a cruel smile. The speed of his hand suddenly increased as he tried to twist Luo Zheng's head off.
"Die for me … Mm!"
However, in an instant, the smile on Song Chen's face turned into a look of shock. He was determined to grab Su Mo, but he missed!
"Sure enough, above the pit, the person who showed murderous intent towards me was you?"
Luo Zheng instantly dodged to the side and stared at Song Chen. "With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult for you to kill me. Why did you let me come in here with you? What tricks are you playing? "
"You actually dodged it. It seems that you have been suspicious of me for a long time."
Song Chen looked at Luo Zheng with slight surprise, then he smirked and glanced at the two corpses on the ground. "Not bad, not bad. Your vigilance is very high, unlike these two stupid pigs. Killing you is not fun at all. I'm too lazy to do it myself."
"You're from the Giant Elephant Battalion. It was Zhao Feng who sent you to kill me, right?" Luo Zheng thought for a moment and then asked indifferently.
"That's right. Your life is still very valuable. As long as I give your head to Zhao Feng, I can exchange it for fifty Blood Nourishing Pills! Unfortunately, this kind of business is rare. "
Song Chen licked his lips. "You can't run. Let me twist your … Ah!"
Suddenly, the smug Song Chen let out a scream. Flames rose from his right foot, and a terrible pain was transmitted to his mind, causing his face to twist.
"You did it! You can control flames!"
Song Chen's expression changed dramatically, and fear appeared in his eyes. He hurriedly circulated his True Qi and tightly wrapped it around his right foot.
"Haha, you think that I'm standing here chatting with you, waiting for you to kill me?"
Luo Zheng sneered.
On the way back, he had sensed the situation from far away. When the three Flame Leopards had attacked at the same time, Song Chen's team of three was still able to deal with them. However, with one less Flame Leopard, Tang Zhi and Zhou Dongshi had died. Moreover, Song Chen had remained unscathed from beginning to end. How could Luo Zheng not feel suspicious?
At that time, Luo Zheng felt that the situation was not right, so he immediately hid the Stellar Fire Source underground as a precaution. He didn't think that it would actually come in handy.
Luo Zheng was most wary of Blood Tempering Realm martial artists because of their speed. Now that Song Chen's right foot was heavily injured, even if he could defeat him, he could still escape.
Luo Zheng faintly felt that this Song Chen was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
At this time, Song Chen's reaction was extremely fast. He used his True Qi to temporarily suppress the burning of the Stellar Fire Source, but the consumption of True Qi was extremely fast. The pain from his foot caused him to break out in cold sweat and rage.
"I'll kill you if I die!" Song Chen's heart was filled with hatred. He ruthlessly charged at Luo Zheng, but his foot was injured and his movements were greatly affected. He was unable to display his full strength.
At this time, not only did he have to endure the pain in his foot, but his speed was also unable to catch up to Luo Zheng.
"Damn it, it won't be too late to kill this brat after I extinguish this strange flame!" After chasing for a while, Song Chen only felt the pain in his foot increasing. He hatefully looked at Luo Zheng in front of him and helplessly stopped.
"Hey, Brother Song, why did you stop chasing?"
