Lu Xiaotian followed the aura that the black-clothed woman's Primordial Spirit had left behind in the cave when it fled. He quickly advanced for almost four hours. The surroundings were already very dark, with only the occasional flicker of light from the flames in the cave walls providing some light.
Boom! A large expanse of fire sprayed out. Lu Xiaotian was shocked. There were people fighting in front of him. With such an astonishing presence, their cultivation was clearly much higher than his. The black-clothed woman was unlucky. Her Primordial Spirit escaped and just happened to meet the large expanse of fire. Touched by the spiritual fire, the black-clothed woman's Primordial Spirit burned at a visible speed and turned to ash.
Before Lu Xiaotian could breathe a sigh of relief, a black figure screamed and spat out blood as it crashed towards him. It was a first layer Foundation Establishment cultivator. Following closely behind this cultivator was a four-legged fire serpent covered in flames. It seemed to be showing signs of becoming a fire serpent.
In an open area further away, an even larger, fully formed fire serpent, several zhang long, was fighting fiercely with a white-clothed woman in the air. Below them was a pool of boiling lava. Even from far away, Lu Xiaotian could feel the astonishing presence of the roiling blue-red flames on the surface of the lava. Even if he got close, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it. If he fell into the lava, his body and soul would probably be destroyed on the spot. Even his Primordial Spirit wouldn't be able to run far before it was incinerated by the cannons that occasionally came out of the lava pool. Perhaps only Golden Core cultivators would be able to fight in the vicinity without fear.
This white-clothed woman was Dongfang Yi, the woman that Forefather Zhou had called Fairy Dongfang in the camp, Dongfang Yi. At this time, this area was already turned upside down. Five cultivators and four fire serpents were locked in battle. Apart from the Gold Core stage Fire Jiao, the other three Fire Jiao were relatively smaller in size and weaker in strength. One of them was at the sixth level, and it was unusually ferocious compared to the other Fire Jiao in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. It fought two gray-haired late stage Cultivators alone. The other two smaller dragons fought against a human cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm and an early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm respectively.
The early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator had already been struck in the chest by the Fire Jiao's tail. His sternum had caved in, and his body was covered in blood as he slammed into the stone wall and slid down softly.
The white-robed woman and the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators were both furious and anxious. Even though the one who had been defeated was the weakest of the three, the Foundation Establishment early stage cultivators, they were still able to defeat him. However, they were only able to fight the four fire dragons to a draw. Even if the weakest one was defeated, it would still break the balance that was barely maintained. Once the scales of victory suddenly tilted towards the Fire Flood Dragon's side, perhaps Dongfang Yi, a Jin Dan cultivator, could rely on her strength to escape, but the several Foundation Building cultivators had absolutely no chance of escaping.
Even Dongfang Yi, at this moment, was determined to obtain the "Jadefire Heart Lotus" in the lava pool, and did not want to leave so easily. Furthermore, the Jadefire Heart Lotus was about to mature, and if she left, the Jadefire Heart Lotus would be picked by the Fire Dragon. After this village, there would be no next shop. Without the Jadefire Heart Lotus, the "Ice and Fire Mystic Heart Mantra" she cultivated would always be stuck at a bottleneck, and her cultivation would also be unable to increase. Dongfang Yi could not accept this situation no matter what.
Therefore, towards Lu Xiaotian, who suddenly appeared out of thin air and fought with the Fire Dragon, the few Foundation Establishment cultivators were overjoyed.
"Haha, that's great, Fellow Daoist really came at the right time. Otherwise, we would all be in danger. Now, let's kill these Fire Dragons together. Not to mention the ancestor's reward, just the materials on these Fire Dragons are rare refining treasures." An old man with a goatee who was entangled with the rank six Fire Dragon laughed loudly. Seeing that Lu Xiaotian was not at a disadvantage at all, he could not help but swallow his heart back into his stomach.
Lu Xiaotian was expressionless, but in his heart, he was already laughing bitterly and cursing. How could he want to get involved in this mess? These people in front of him were all Foundation Establishment cultivators who were inextricably linked to the Zhou Clan. He was just an outsider, and now that he was forced to fight side by side with them. But once the battle was over, his identity might be exposed under interrogation.
It was just that after the rank four Fire Dragon in front of him killed its opponent, it found him without saying a word. Even if he wanted to leave, the Fire Dragon would not be able to help him. If he did not defeat this Fire Dragon, how could he have the chance to escape?
The Zhou Clan still had a Patriarch, Jin Dan, who had yet to appear. He did not know when he would arrive. If he waited for the other cultivators of the Zhou Clan to arrive, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to. He could not drag this on for too long. As for the people in front of him, whether they lived or died, he did not care. Lu Xiaotian quickly made a decision. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to get rid of the trouble in front of him, but he might also expose his strength.
Lu Xiaotian immediately thought of the Thousand Mile Godly Traveling Talisman he had exchanged with Huo Yuming. It could greatly increase his speed, and it should be used to escape in this kind of emergency situation. After he forced back the smaller Fire Dragon in front of him, he prepared to use the Thousand Mile Godly Traveling Talisman. However, at this moment, the situation of the battle had changed in an instant.
After a fierce battle, the Sword Qi that shot out in all directions cut off a huge boulder above the cave that weighed tens of thousands of kilograms. Under the calculations of the old man with the goatee, the huge boulder fell from above the rank six Fire Dragon, smashing it back to normal. A boulder weighing tens of thousands of kilograms was not enough to kill a rank six Fire Dragon, but it was enough to affect its movements, especially when it was besieged by two late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. The Fire Dragon that had just broken free from the boulder was cut in two by the old man with the goatee using his silver axe. A small Fire Dragon Primordial Spirit jumped out from inside, but it did not have time to escape. In a panic, it was put into a small white bottle by the old man with the goatee.
After the rank seven Fire Dragon that was fiercely fighting with Dongfang Yi saw its most powerful descendant die tragically at the hands of a human cultivator, it cried out several times. The rank seven Fire Dragon that was equivalent to the early stage of Jin Dan was already very intelligent, and it realized that the situation of the battle was rapidly deteriorating. The two human cultivators with considerable strength had already completely freed up their hands, and its other two descendants were likely to be killed soon. Even if they died, they wanted these human cultivators to be buried with them.
The rank seven Fire Dragon spat out a fiery red Yao Dan, which carried a large amount of purple-red flames. The aura was terrifying.
Dongfang Yi's expression changed dramatically. This place looked spacious, but it was still narrow for a Jin Dan cultivator. The Fire Dragon's bowl-sized Yao Dan came very quickly, and it was not easy to dodge.
Dongfang Yi clenched her teeth, and the long sword in her hand shone with a very strange light. Half of the sword was fiery red hot, and the other half was mysterious cold. The two kinds of power were mixed into a magic weapon at the same time. It was the Icefire Mystic Sword that Dongfang Yi made with meteoric iron outside the Icefire Domain. It was also a top-level Core magic weapon. Otherwise, she, a cultivator who had just entered Jin Dan, would not be a match for the Fire Dragon, a rank seven Fire Dragon that was incomparably powerful among monsters of the same rank.
At this moment, the Fire Dragon used its most powerful killing move, and Dongfang Yi also activated the power of the Icefire Mystic Sword to the greatest extent.
The sword, which was several zhang long, almost solid, collided with the Fire Dragon Yao Dan. Dongfang Yi's face paled, and the Fire Dragon also hissed in pain. In the blink of an eye, they had collided dozens of times. With Dongfang Yi and the Fire Dragon as the center, the Sword Qi that was scattered, and the Fire Dragon Yao Dan's purple-red pill fire that was sputtered everywhere.
Whether it was the remaining Sword Qi or the purple-red pill fire on the Fire Dragon Yao Dan, they were all Jin Dan level attacks. In the battle with the green skeleton, Lu Xiaotian used the Thunder Pearl, and the remaining power of thunder and lightning that entered his body took him more than a year to get rid of. Facing the all-out attack of two Jin Dan cultivators, the power was naturally much greater than the explosion of a Thunder Pearl. Many of the tunnels near the cave could not withstand the huge impact and collapsed, and one of them included the one behind Lu Xiaotian.
Really f * cked up! Unlucky year, Lu Xiaotian cursed in his heart. The rank four Fire Dragon in front of him was still pestering him. But soon, Lu Xiaotian understood that he was lucky. The two late Foundation Establishment cultivators, including the old man with the goatee, were directly touched by the Fire Dragon Yao Dan's purple-red pill fire. Their entire bodies were directly set ablaze, and even their primordial spirits could not escape, and were burned to ashes.
The other middle-aged man in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage and a sixth-level fire dragon also did not put up much resistance. Together with their protective magic tools, they were cut into several pieces by the crisscrossing Sword Qi. Their primordial spirits did not escape far before they collided with other Sword Qi and were also destroyed.
Lu Xiaotian had originally just arrived, and was slightly further away from Dongfang Yi and the rank seven Fire Dragon. He was relatively less affected. He groaned in his heart. When had he ever seen such a tragic situation? Two Jin Dan cultivators were fighting with all their might in a space that was not spacious. Even the weakest rank four Fire Dragon that was fighting with him had given up on fighting him. It cried out in grief as it dodged the Sword Qi and the remaining power of the purple-red flames. No matter which one it encountered, it was certain to die.
How did he end up in such a place? Lu Xiaotian cursed in his heart. Fortunately, the tunnel behind him was not completely blocked, and it was possible to open it again by paying a price.
Lu Xiaotian directly summoned all of his puppets to block in front of him. The giant elephant, two-headed dog, and black bear puppets were all brought out to block in front of him. At the same time, he used his secondary primordial spirit to control the rank four centipede puppet, and used it to move the collapsed boulders out from behind at the fastest speed possible.
"That's right, there are still two Cold Ironwood that are more than two thousand years old inside the barrier!" In this desperate situation, Lu Xiaotian suddenly remembered that in order to build his foundation, he had taken nine Foundation Establishment Pills, but he had only used a small portion of them. Most of the huge amount of spiritual power that could not be absorbed had entered the barrier, nourishing the spirit grasses and spirit trees inside the barrier. Among them, the Cold Ironwood was slightly taller, so it had a natural advantage over most of the other spirit grasses. Therefore, under the nourishment of the rich spiritual power, the Cold Ironwood continued to grow, and its age also increased year by year. A thousand or several hundred years old Cold Ironwood was quite rare for a Jin Dan cultivator, and a two year old one was even more precious. Since it was also unusual for a Jin Dan cultivator, it should not be so easily damaged.
The giant elephant and black bear puppets in front of him added up to more than ten puppets. Although the size of the puppets seemed huge, it did not give him much sense of security. Under the crisscrossing Sword Qi and purple-red Pill Fire, they were cut apart like paper and burned to ashes. In the face of such an attack, Lu Xiaotian did not have the slightest confidence to resist.
Lu Xiaotian hurriedly took out a Cold Ironwood. The Cold Ironwood was more than ten feet tall and thicker than a normal person, and it just happened to block in front of Lu Xiaotian.
Puff puff … several Sword Qi slashed on the Cold Ironwood. Although it left shallow scratches, the sound of the slashes made Lu Xiaotian, whose palms were sweating, feel a little more at ease.
With a bang, the Fire Dragon's purple-red Pill Fire also hit the Cold Ironwood, splashing out a lot of flames. It burned a small part of the Cold Ironwood and gradually extinguished. Although the Cold Ironwood was also a type of spirit wood, it was also cold and was not easy to ignite. It was one of the few spirit wood that was not restrained by spirit fire. The Rank Four Fire Dragon that was fighting fiercely with Lu Xiaotian before hid behind a huge boulder in panic, as if it wanted to use the boulder to block the huge impact of the battle between Jin Dan cultivators. It was undoubtedly very laughable.
A moment later, the Rank Four Fire Dragon and the boulder were split apart by the swift and fierce Sword Qi. The Fire Dragon's Primordial Spirit fled wildly. Seeing that the white-clothed woman's Sword Qi and the Fire Dragon's Pill Fire could not destroy the spirit wood blocking in front of Lu Xiaotian, the Fire Dragon's Primordial Spirit was driven by its survival instincts to flee toward Lu Xiaotian. It was directly collected by Lu Xiaotian with a small bottle.
With a boom, in the midst of a violent explosion, the passage that the Centipede Puppet had opened up collapsed again, and the Centipede Puppet was also trapped inside. Lu Xiaotian spent a lot of effort to get the Centipede Puppet out. He was bitterly thinking about how to leave this damned place. Suddenly, he discovered that the impact from the center of the battle seemed to be much weaker.
Lu Xiaotian hid behind the Cold Ironwood and cautiously stuck his head out to take a look. He saw that the Fire Dragon's Yao Dan was already very dim. It turned out that the thick layer of purple-red Pill Fire wrapped around it had already reduced it to a few weak wisps of flame after repeatedly clashing with the white-clothed woman's spirit sword. A few small cracks had even begun to appear on the Yao Dan. The Fire Dragon's aura was much weaker than before, and it was actually about the same as the dead Goateed Old Man.
Lu Xiaotian's heart trembled. Could it be that the Fire Dragon's cultivation had temporarily dropped because it had fought with the white-clothed woman until both sides were injured?
