Terrifying Mana was released slowly in the air. Ji Dong's face revealed a cold glow. His body would not stay in one place for more than two breaths of time. The Flying Serpent Flash was fully activated. Sometimes, it could be seen that he was clearly charging forward, but in the next moment, his body had already moved backwards. Streaks of fiery light formed lines of death in the air. Every time he paused, at least one Demon Master from the Golden Eagle Chamber of Commerce would perish under Ji Dong's Ultimate Dual Flames.
The last time he had entered the Holy Evil Battlefield, Ji Dong's Wax Serpent Flash could only be completed twice. He had relied on his own strength to render two Dark Saints who were over level 50 helpless, and had even almost killed them. Now, his Mana had broken through two barriers and had risen to level 61. With the support of his powerful Mana, the Flying Serpent Flash could be completed four times. If a powerhouse like Ji Dong was able to continuously change directions four times in the air, who would be able to catch his figure? Not to mention the seven crowns Lu Carr, even an eight crowns Heavenly Sovereign powerhouse would not be able to do so.
Right now, all they could do was run for their lives to chase after him, or use their area of effect Demonic Techniques to attack. However, the area of effect attacks that were dispersed would be useless against Ji Dong, who had the Tyrant Devil Yin-Yang Armor, the Phoenix Dance Dragon-Snake Transformation, and the Flying Serpent Transformation.
Lu Carr finally realized the severity of the problem. It was not that he had not thought of attacking the Flaming Bar, but Ji Dong was already so strong. How could the woman with him be weak? Furthermore, there was a powerful Class 6 Magical Beast of unknown species waiting there. How could a Class 7 Magical Beast be easy to deal with, a Class 6 Magical Beast that could make a Class 7 Magical Beast tremble in fear? If he attacked that woman, there was no doubt that he would be the first to bear the brunt of Ji Dong's violent retaliation.
Making a prompt decision, Carr roared, "Retreat!" More than 30 Magicians from the Golden Eagle Chamber of Commerce had died in the hands of Ji Dong. Among them, six were at the level of Six Crowns. It was definitely a heavy loss. However, if they did not retreat now, no one knew how much magic power this terrifying young man had left and how long he could continue fighting. From his current state, it seemed as if he had not consumed any magic power at all. If this continued, perhaps they would all be wiped out, and even they themselves would not be able to leave this place alive.
The remnants of the Golden Eagle Merchant Guild retreated rapidly. Although they were in a state of panic under Ji Dong's powerful attacks, they were of high quality and their formation did not fall apart as they retreated. This was especially so for Lu Carr and the other Enchanters. They gathered together and focused all their attention on Ji Dong as they retreated slowly.
With a flash of light, Ji Dong calmly stopped and landed on the ground. He watched as the Golden Eagle Merchant Guild slowly retreated. In the battle just now, the Golden Eagle Merchant Guild had already lost more than two hundred people. All of them had fallen to his magic skills.
Slightly panting, Ji Dong slowly recovered his magic power. His eyes flashed with an uncertain light. According to his temper, he would not rest until he had killed every single one of these people. However, he had no choice but to restrain himself right now. This was because he still had to protect the Flaming Bar. In his heart, there was nothing more important than protecting the Flaming Bar.
It was not impossible for him to kill all these people. After his magic power had increased to six crowns, his six crowns relied on the Yin Yang Fire to sustain the formation. It contained the power of six dragons and six snakes. With this huge amount of magic power and Little Flame, he could unleash his ultimate skill — World of Yin and Yang of Sun and Moon.
With the terrifying power of the World of Yin and Yang of Sun and Moon, not a single person from the Golden Eagle Merchant Guild would be able to escape. However, if that happened, Ji Dong would fall into a state of weakness. He would not have a backup plan. If he were to encounter another strong opponent, how would he protect the Flaming Bar? Therefore, after much consideration, he gave up on the idea of chasing after them and allowed them to leave.
The Golden Eagle Merchant Guild's retreat was extremely hasty. They did not even have the time to bring away the corpses of their own people. In addition to the devastation caused by the Ultimate Dual Flames, the area of thousands of square meters was like hell.
Two rays of light flew out from Ji Dong's shoulders. They were the Holy Fire Elemental Body and the Devil Flame Elemental Body. Although these two elemental bodies could not truly determine the outcome of the battle, they could be used to clean up the battlefield. As their figures flickered, all the burning flames were absorbed by them. They were perfect for extinguishing fires.
Ji Dong walked back to the side of the Flaming Bar. He looked at Elder Tam and the group of Forest Demons who were standing in front of him and coughed slightly.
Everything that had happened was too fast. It was so fast that they did not even have time to react. From the time Ji Dong attacked until the end of the battle, only the time it took for half an incense stick to burn had passed.
Looking at Ji Dong, who was wearing the Devil Lord Yin Yang Armor, these weak Forest Demons felt as if a demon god had appeared in front of them. Even though Ji Dong had helped them chase away their strong enemies, they could not help but reveal expressions of fear at this moment.
The Flaming Bar's gentle voice sounded, "You don't have to be afraid. We were just passing by and happened to see the Golden Eagle Merchant Association slaughtering your people. We saw that it was unfair, so we attacked. We have no ill intentions. Ji Dong, let's go."
As she spoke, she personally tied the silver chain that Ji Dong had previously untied around his waist. Then, she pulled Ji Dong's hand and walked towards the depths of the Forest of Life. If they wanted to return to the Middle Earth Empire, they could pass through the Forest of Life and keep heading west. They could save a lot of time. This was also an important reason why Ji Dong had decided to pass through here.
Ji Dong looked at the Flaming Bar in surprise. After he had cultivated the Soul Fire, their Soul Realms were connected. Even if they did not open their mouths, they could still communicate with each other. Their souls rippled and he asked the Flaming Bar, "Flaming Bar, aren't we going to taste the Source of Life?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and called Little Flame back to his side. Little Flame did not return to the Vermillion Bird Bracelet. Instead, it spread its wings and soared above Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar.
The Flaming Bar's voice directly sounded in the depths of Ji Dong's soul, "Forget it. So many of the Forest Demons have died, and it was because of the Source of Life. Wouldn't it be taking advantage of them if we were to offer to buy it now? I don't want them to think that we are trying to repay their kindness. Ji Dong, you have become more mature than before. If it was in the past, you would definitely release your full strength to kill the people of the Golden Eagle Merchant Association. However, you did not do so today. I know that it is because of me, but I hope that you will always be like this in the future. Regardless of whether I am by your side or not, a wise man will not stand under a collapsing wall. No matter what, you must always leave a way out for yourself. Unless you have a partner that you can absolutely trust by your side, don't easily release your full strength. "
Ji Dong nodded and said, "I understand."
At this moment, the voice of the Forest Demon Tribe's Elder Tamu came from behind the two of them, "Wait a moment, my two benefactors, please wait a moment."
Ji Dong held onto the Flaming Bar's hand and turned around. At the same time, he retrieved his Demon Monarch Yin Yang Armor.
Without the hideous mask, Ji Dong looked a lot less oppressive. Elder Tamu's face was filled with shame as he quickly ran over with his clansmen. Before he could reach Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar, he had already knelt on the ground with a thud. Thousands of Forest Demons immediately knelt down.
"Elder, what are you doing?" Ji Dong hurriedly took a step forward and raised his right hand. A gentle magical power lifted Elder Tamu up from the ground. This was not the Extreme Yang Fire or the Extreme Yin Fire. It was a gentle magical power that was produced after he comprehended the Soul Fire. It did not have any attributes and was infinitely close to the aura of Primal Chaos. This aura could not be used as an offensive or defensive power, but it was still very useful, especially when it came to cultivation.
Elder Tamu was helped up by Ji Dong. His body was trembling slightly as he said, "My two benefactors, I was momentarily blinded by sorrow and treated you poorly. Please forgive me. If it wasn't for your help today, I'm afraid our tribe would have been destroyed by those evil humans. I, Tamu, and my clansmen will never forget such a great favor. Please stay for a few more days and let us show our hospitality to you."
Ji Dong sighed and said, "Elder Tamu, we appreciate your kindness. However, your tribe has just suffered such a heavy blow, and there are too many things waiting for you to handle. We will not disturb you any further. If there's a chance in the future, we will definitely visit you again."
The Flaming Bar was right. The Forest Demon Tribe had just suffered such a heavy blow. Although they had helped the Forest Demons solve their problem, they were still humans after all. There was no point in staying any longer. It was better to leave through the Forest of Life as soon as possible.
When Elder Ta Hao saw that Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar were determined to leave, he hurriedly said, "My two benefactors, can you listen to a few words from this old man?"
Ji Dong said, "Please speak, Elder."
Elder Ta Hao sighed. His eyes were filled with sorrow and pain as he said, "For thousands of years, we, the Forest Demons, have always lived in the Forest of Life. We are a nation that refuses to make any progress. We have been working hard every day, using our familiarity with plants to cultivate all kinds of plants to make the Forest of Life a better place. We have also received the blessing of the Goddess of Life, allowing us to continue to survive. My hundreds of thousands of clansmen and I have become the masters of this forest. In the beginning, when the humans entered the Forest of Life, they were quite friendly to us. Most of them came to sightsee. We, the Forest Demons, are kind and hospitable. We don't know how cunning and treacherous the outside world can be. Not only did we not reject them from entering the Forest of Life, we were even willing to be their guides, introducing them to all kinds of magical things in the Forest of Life.
"Later on, when they tasted the Source of Life we brewed, they expressed their desire to buy it. Living in the Forest of Life, we are self-sufficient and don't need money. Therefore, we allowed them to exchange some necessities of the human world, such as the cores of magical beasts, for the Source of Life.
"However, as more and more humans came to the Forest of Life to make a fortune, it began to affect our daily lives and destroy our environment. About a few years ago, the leaders of the various Forest Fey tribes decided to refuse any form of trade with humans in order to prevent the Forest of Life from being destroyed by humans in order to ensure the peace and happiness of the Forest of Life."
"After the human merchant groups were rejected by us, they bared their fangs. Today's attack was not the first time the humans attacked us. They came with the intention of destroying us, slaughtering our tribesmen, plundering our Source of Life, and even trying to enslave us. It is much more difficult for us Forest Fey to become Demon Masters than humans. We have hundreds of thousands of Demon Masters, but we only managed to form a team of less than two hundred people. Moreover, our strength is far inferior to that of humans. We don't have magical weapons, and our bodies are far weaker than humans. In just three years, more than one-fifth of our tribesmen have been slaughtered, and we have no choice but to retreat deeper into the Forest of Life. Even so, it is still difficult for us to resist the hunting teams of those large merchant groups. If it weren't for our two benefactors, I'm afraid that our tribe would really be finished today. Even if we managed to avoid this, they will not let us go. There will definitely be a next time. If this goes on, I'm afraid that our tribe will really be wiped out before long."
Two streams of turbid green tears flowed down his cheeks. Because of his agitation, Elder Tahm could not help but tremble. He was only able to stand firm after being supported by two sturdy adult Forest Fey behind him.
Ji Dong frowned slightly. He sympathized with the plight of the Forest Fey, but how was he going to resolve the crisis of his tribe?
Elder Tahm panted heavily. "Benefactors, I can see that you are both humans with great abilities. More importantly, you are different from those despicable fellows. You have hearts of gold, and you have selflessly helped us, saving our tribe from the disaster. I have a presumptuous request, and I hope that you can agree to it."
Ji Dong said, "Elder, please speak."
Elder Tahm said, "Our Forest Fey Tribe is at a critical juncture of life and death. We clearly saw the strength that you have displayed just now. You were able to defeat the powerful Golden Eagle Commerce all by yourself. I would like to represent our Forest Fey Tribe to hire the two of you to protect our tribe, and protect us from those despicable humans."
Ji Dong was slightly stunned by Elder Tahm's words. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Elder Tahm. I'm afraid that I cannot agree to your request. I sympathize with your tribe's plight, but I have many things that I need to do, and I cannot stay in the Forest of Life forever. So, I'm sorry, I'm powerless." He had too many things to do. Putting aside the fact that he hoped to travel the mainland with Flaming Bar, he had to go to the battle between the Holy and Demon in a year's time.
Once he heard Ji Dong's rejection, Elder Tahm hurriedly said, "Benefactor, although our Forest Fey Tribe has been in the Forest of Life for generations, we have accumulated quite a lot of wealth from doing business with humans. We are willing to pay a high price for your protection. Please, if you are not willing to help us, I'm afraid that it will not be long before our entire tribe …"
