Facing the Saint Emperor, Fang Chen and the others had no power to fight back. Their only hope was to escape into the Death Mountain Range.
"Run!"
Huo Cang Saint Emperor roared, and a terrifying flame aura emerged from his body. He stomped his foot and soared into the sky, entering the Death Mountain Range.
"Let's go too."
Meng Ta covered his sister Meng Sha and plunged into the mountain range. Bai Yang was the first to enter.
In the end, only Fang Chen was left.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Before Fang Chen could move, he was enveloped by the terrifying hand.
The surrounding space was instantly sealed.
Fang Chen cursed inwardly. He gritted his teeth and executed the Primordial Chaos Sword Art in a frenzy.
One after another, sword lights intertwined in the void, forming a powerful sword net, trying to block the attack of the giant hand.
Crack!
However, the sword net was too weak. The giant hand tore the sword net apart without any effort.
Seeing that the giant hand was about to suppress him, Fang Chen's eyes shot out a cold light.
He turned his head and saw that Huo Cang Saint Emperor and the others had disappeared. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
"Damn it."
He gritted his teeth and cursed. At the same time, he quickly took out the Saint Emperor from the Immortal Cave Mountain.
Crash!
With a shake of his wrist, five energy crystals appeared in the Saint Emperor's hand.
Boom!
The crystals rotated, and the Saint Emperor's hand quickly absorbed the energy. In an instant, a terrifying power erupted.
"Kill!"
Fang Chen stomped his foot and came to the top of the Saint Emperor's head. He controlled the Saint Emperor's hand and launched a counterattack.
"Hmm?"
The leader seemed to feel that something was wrong. He continued to increase his strength, and the giant hand went straight down, trying to suppress Fang Chen.
Crack!
However, the power displayed by the Saint Emperor's hand was too violent. The giant hand couldn't resist it at all.
In just one exchange, the secret technique that the leader was so proud of was mercilessly shattered by the Saint Emperor's hand.
At this moment, his face suddenly changed.
"Oh no, this is … the Saint Emperor's hand."
He recognized the Saint Emperor's hand, but it was too late.
The Saint Mantis was Fang Chen's trump card. He would never use it unless he had no other choice.
But right now, he was facing a Fourth Level Peak Sage Emperor.
In addition to his special techniques, his battle prowess was comparable to a Fifth Level Holy Emperor. Fang Chen had no chance of winning at all. He could only use his trump card, the Saint Kiln.
Puchi!
The Saint Lion crazily attacked, violently tearing apart a weaker shadow. Then, with a stomp of his feet, he rushed into the crowd of shadows.
Apart from the leader of the black shadows, the other black shadows were relatively weak.
Rip!
One shadow after another died under the Holy Light.
This scene caused the leader of the black shadows to go completely mad. His eyes turned scarlet as he let out a long howl.
"I want you dead."
The black shadow took a step forward, bypassed the Saint Kiln, and came before Fang Chen, intending to kill him.
"As long as I kill you, the Saint Mantis will be mine."
Thinking that he could own the Saint Fruit, the black shadow's heart was filled with desire.
"Humph."
Fang Chen snorted coldly. With a thought, he recalled the Saint Kiln. With a boom, it blocked the leader's all-out attack.
"Kill him for me."
Fang Chen ordered the Saint Kiln to attack with all its might.
After a while, the black shadow could not hold on any longer.
Bang!
The Saint Kiln suppressed the leader of the black shadows with absolute strength.
Puchi!
The leader of the black shadows burned his Origin Source Energy, wanting to escape. Unfortunately, he encountered the Saint Kiln.
Five energy crystals could allow the Saint Kiln to display the battle prowess of a Fifth Level Peak Sage Emperor.
Moreover, the Saint Kiln did not have any perception and would not feel any pain. It did not need to defend. It only needed to attack endlessly.
Even a Fifth Level Peak Sage Emperor might not dare to fight the Saint Kiln.
Dong!
The Saint Kiln's palm penetrated the leader's chest, destroying his internal organs.
At the same time, it also shattered the leader's Primordial Spirit.
"Run!"
Seeing this, the other black shadows were terrified and fled in panic.
However, Fang Chen was already prepared. He chased after them with his sword.
Under his and the Saint Kiln's joint attack, all the black shadows that came to attack them died.
Huff!
Fang Chen took a deep breath. He could not calm down for a long time.
He looked up at the Saint Kiln and was quite surprised.
It was a pity that there were only nine energy crystals. After using five of them, there were only four left.
However, when Fang Chen put away the Sumeru Rings of these black shadows, he was instantly overjoyed.
"There are so many Yin and Yang Pills."
Fang Chen said excitedly.
With just a cursory look, he found a mountain of Yin and Yang Pills.
"With such a big commotion here, it will definitely alarm the Cang Nation's royal family."
Fang Chen suppressed the joy in his heart. With a wave of his sleeve, he threw all the corpses into the Death Mountain Range.
At the same time, he brought the Saint Kiln into the Death Mountain Range.
…
The Death Mountain Range contained an extremely strong illusion, and there was a natural illusion array.
It was like a maze, and one would get lost if they were not careful.
Bang!
Suddenly, several large craters appeared on the ground.
Then, there were a few muffled groans.
"Hiss!"
Huo Cang and the other three fled into the Death Mountain Range. The moment they touched the ground, they felt the powerful corrosive power of the Golden Corrosive Water.
They stood up and jumped onto the towering tree.
"What a terrifying Golden Corrosive Water."
After a long time, they calmed down and looked at the Death Mountain Range seriously.
"Hmm?
Where's Junior Brother Fang? "
At this time, Meng Ta realized that Fang Chen did not come in.
"Could it be that Junior Brother Fang was intercepted by the black shadows?"
As soon as Meng Sha said that, Huo Cang and Meng Ta's faces changed.
"The Golden Corrosive Water here is too thick, and the talisman's power is rapidly consumed. It's not good to stay here for long. We have to explore as soon as possible and then leave this place."
Bai Yang said.
His meaning was obvious. There was no need to care about Fang Chen's life or death.
"Senior Brother Huo Cang."
Meng Ta shouted.
"Our Heaven Defying Alliance is extremely united. How can we leave our fellow disciples behind?"
"Meng Ta, are you trying to kill us all?"
Bai Yang scolded. "Don't you know where we are?
This mission is beyond our imagination. It's good enough that we can go back alive. You can't even take care of yourself, and you still have the heart to care about others? "
"If you want to go back and find Fang Chen, go by yourself. I won't go with you to die."
Bai Yang's attitude was clear. He wanted to explore the Death Mountain Range as soon as possible and then leave.
In the end, Huo Cang and the other three went deep into the Death Mountain Range with talismans.
Not long after they left, Fang Chen entered the Death Mountain Range.
"Phew … What a thick Golden Corrosive Water."
Fang Chen could not help but exclaim.
The Golden Corrosive Water in the soil could definitely kill a low-level Holy King.
Fortunately, he had talismans and the protection of the Holy Jade.
In the previous battle, the five crystals had only consumed a little more than half. Fang Chen calculated that it was enough for him to explore the Death Mountain Range.
"I wonder how Senior Brother Huo Cang and the others are doing?"
Fang Chen murmured.
He spread out his divine sense and was shocked to find that his Primordial Spirit Golden Core was suppressed and could only explore within a hundred meters.
"This …"
Fang Chen exclaimed, feeling that the Death Mountain Range was unfathomable.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, Fang Chen vaguely heard the roar of a beast.
He rushed in the direction of the sound.
…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
On the plains in front of the Death Mountain Range, the sound of something breaking through the air could be heard.
Soon, the Grand Tutor and the Oblivion City Lord had arrived.
The Grand Tutor's face was gloomy. He scanned the ground and found signs of potholes.
"Lord Grand Tutor, there must have been a battle here," the Oblivion City Lord said.
"The five disciples of the Heaven Defying Alliance should not be a match for them. They are probably dead."
The battle had caused a huge commotion. After the Grand Tutor sensed it, he came here to investigate.
Just as the Grand Tutor was about to speak, the communication jade pendant suddenly rang.
In an instant, his face darkened.
"Damn it."
The Grand Tutor cursed. A terrifying aura emerged, and the sky changed color.
"Lord Grand Tutor, what's wrong?"
The Oblivion City Lord was a little scared and took a few steps back.
"We failed."
"What?"
The Oblivion City Lord exclaimed.
A Fifth Level Holy Emperor led a team of more than ten Third Level Holy Kings to encircle five disciples of the Heaven Defying Alliance, but they failed?
"Could it be that they have a Holy Emperor hiding in the dark?"
The Grand Tutor frowned and shook his head gently.
"Impossible. The entire Cang Kingdom is under our surveillance. Once any outsider enters the Cang Kingdom, His Majesty will know," the Grand Tutor said.
"Five little fellows from the Heaven Defying Alliance actually caused the Cang Kingdom to lose a Fifth Level Holy Emperor and more than ten Third Level Holy Kings. How interesting."
The Grand Tutor's voice was cold. He was responsible for this matter.
Now that they had lost so many people, he could not account for it.
"Lord Grand Tutor, I feel that this matter is strange."
The Oblivion City Lord analyzed.
"The Heaven Defying Alliance clearly knew that their disciples might have been killed by the Cang Kingdom, but they still sent disciples of the Holy King level to investigate. This shows that they are very confident."
"We worked hard to lure the five of them to the edge of the Death Mountain Range and prepared to hunt them down, but they killed us instead. It is very likely that the higher-ups of the Heaven Defying Alliance made a move."
If a Saint came here, how did the Cang Kingdom discover his tracks?
"Saint?"
The Grand Tutor frowned. "You continue to investigate here. I will immediately return to the royal family and report to His Majesty."
"Yes, Lord Grand Tutor."
…
Cang Kingdom's royal family.
The Cang Kingdom was very angry. They had lost so many strong cultivators, and they still did not know whether the five fellows from the Heaven Defying Alliance were dead or not.
Most importantly, those black figures who went to carry out the mission were not people from the Cang Kingdom, but …
"Send people into the Death Mountain Range to search. If they are still alive, they won't be able to last long in the Death Mountain Range."
The Cang Kingdom said.
"But …"
"No buts. Just do as I say." The Cang Kingdom said in a deep voice.
The Grand Tutor carefully left the secret chamber.
In a dark corner, a black figure appeared out of thin air.
"Cang Kingdom, you have disappointed me."
The black figure said coldly.
"Losing a Fifth Level Holy Emperor is a huge blow to my sect. I can't explain it to the Sect Leader."
"The Heaven Defying Alliance may have noticed that the Cang Kingdom is working together with the No Demon Sect. They may have sent disciples to explore the ruins on the surface, but it is very likely that they are secretly preparing to attack us."
