Sizzle!
In the desolate and withered mountain forest, a muffled sound suddenly swept out. Black flames wreaked havoc like a storm, burning patches of the forest into ashes.
However, the black flames did not burn for long before they gradually extinguished.
Rustle!
Within the scorched black forest, a figure slowly walked out. It was Mu Chen. At this moment, he was expressionlessly lowering his head to look at his pitch-black palm. As his Spiritual Energy surged, the pitch-black color rapidly dissipated. The burn wounds on his palm were also recovering at an astonishing speed.
At this moment, he could vaguely see two silhouettes kneeling on the ground with their heads drooping down. The black flames on their heads had also extinguished along with their vitality.
There was still disbelief and shock in their eyes.
They never expected that a puny Greater Earth Sovereign would possess such terrifying strength.
"It's really them!"
Mu Chen couldn't be bothered to look at the two corpses. He raised his head and looked in another direction with his brows slightly knitted.
There wasn't any suspense in the previous battle. Although Mu Chen was only a Greater Earth Sovereign, his fighting strength had far exceeded ordinary Perfected Earth Sovereigns. On the other hand, the two experts of the Flame Demon Clan had only just reached the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, so they could only die when facing Mu Chen.
However, from the information that the two experts of the Flame Demon Clan spoke before their deaths, Mu Chen knew about the two women that they were talking about.
Just as he had guessed, the two women were Qing Shuang and Qing Ling of the Ancient Buddha Clan. After all, aside from the two of them, there's no one else that could enter this level.
The two of them seemed to have encountered the leader of the Flame Demon Clan. Although he wasn't clear about the leader's strength, he knew that the leader was comparable to a Pinnacle Perfected Earth Sovereign since he could force Qing Shuang into such a pathetic state.
Looking in that direction, Mu Chen briefly pondered. He was clearly hesitating if he should lend a hand. After all, he didn't have any favourable impression of the Ancient Buddha Clan.
Although his mother was from Qing Shuang's bloodline, they had watched his mother being imprisoned for all these years, which made Mu Chen feel resentment in his heart.
Mu Chen pondered for a brief moment, before gently flinging his lips aside. With a tap of his feet, his figure was like a great roc as he shot towards that direction.
Although he felt resentment for the Ancient Buddha Clan, Qing Shuang still wanted to help him when he was in trouble. Just this point alone was enough for Mu Chen to not help.
There was no need for his resentment for the Ancient Buddha Clan to implicate someone unrelated. If that's the case, then it would mean that he, Mu Chen, was too narrow-minded.
Boom!
A fist that was blazing with black flames descended from the sky like a meteorite. The terrifying might caused space to shatter, along with a destructive aura.
Qing Shuang grabbed onto Qing Ling's wrist and a spiritual lustre burst out from her body, instantly increasing her speed.
Whoosh!
The flaming fist whistled down from behind and smashed onto a mountain peak. In an instant, the mountain peak was blasted apart, while countless boulders were directly turned into ashes by the black flames.
When Qing Ling, who was grabbed by Qing Shuang, saw the terrifying destructive power of the fist, her face turned pale.
"Haha, two beauties, why the need to waste so much effort?
Obediently come to this Commander's hand and let me have a taste of the beauties of the Great Thousand World! "A burst of ear-piercing laughter resounded from the rear.
A stream of black flames whizzed over. Within the flames was a tall and sturdy man. His hair was also burning with raging black flames, while his face was engraved with fire runes.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with lust as he stared at the two figures that were constantly fleeing. He licked his lips and his eyes were on the verge of bursting out.
"Big Sister Qing Shuang, don't bother about me and leave!"
Qing Ling said with a pale face as she sensed the increasingly blazing fluctuations behind her. Previously, when they came to this area, they were extremely unlucky to encounter these so-called experts of the Flame Demon Clan. Qing Shuang was caught off guard and injured, causing them to have no choice but to flee.
But the Flame Demon Clan's expert was also extremely powerful, and even if Qing Shuang was at her peak, she could only barely confront him. So now that she was heavily injured, it would naturally be dangerous for her to bring along a burden.
"No way!"
Qing Shuang gnashed her teeth. She could sense the lust and violence in the eyes of that expert of the Flame Demon Clan. If Qing Ling fell into his hands, even death would be a form of release.
"You leave first, I'll hold him back!" Qing Shuang's eyes gathered a chill as she gnashed her teeth.
"Big Sister Qing Shuang, you're not his opponent right now!" Qing Ling anxiously said.
"If we continue to be entangled like this, he will catch up to us sooner or later. At that time, the two of us will be captured." Qing Shuang sternly said.
Qing Ling bit her rosy lips with tears gathering in her eyes before she nodded her head and her silhouette flashed as she flew in another direction.
Qing Shuang came to a stop, then she turned around and looked at the Flame Demon Clan's expert with a frosty expression.
"Haha, sacrificing yourself to save someone?
How touching. "
The expert of the Flame Demon Clan slowed down and looked at Qing Shuang with ridicule before greedily sweeping his gaze on her voluptuous figure.
"Forget it, I'll first capture a treasure like you and enjoy it." The expert of the Flame Demon Clan licked his lips and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
The chill in Qing Shuang's eyes grew denser as she clenched her fist. An azure longsword appeared in her hand with an extremely cold aura emanating from it that froze the atmosphere.
The longsword looked as if it was forged from ice. When it appeared, an azure lustre spread out, vaguely turning this entire region into a world of ice.
Judging from the might of it, it was a genuine High Rank Saint Artifact.
When the commander of the Flame Demon Clan saw this scene, his eyes squinted before he chuckled and raised his hand. Black flames gathered in his hand and formed into a black flame pearl in the blink of an eye.
The flame pearl was gushing with endless heat that seemed to be able to trigger the evil flames in the depths of one's heart. If one stayed in it for a long time, they would lose their mind.
The Blazing Pearl was no ordinary object either.
Roar!
The commander of the Flame Demon Clan shot out, and at the same time, countless black flaming serpents shot out from the flame pearl. The serpents' mouths were filled with black flames that looked like magma as they whistled towards Qing Shuang ferociously.
Qing Shuang's face was cold as she brandished the longsword in her hand and a cold aura gathered over. In just a few breaths' time, it had turned into an ice prison that firmly froze the serpents that were about to approach.
"Hehe?"
When the commander of the Flame Demon Clan saw this scene, he slyly smiled.
Boom!
The serpents that were blazing with flames violently exploded at this moment. As the black flames wreaked havoc, the world of ice that Qing Shuang had created was instantly destroyed.
Poof!
A mouthful of blood spewed from Qing Shuang's mouth. She was already heavily injured, to begin with. Now that she was struck by the commander of the Flame Demon Clan, her injuries had become even more severe. The Spiritual Energy in her body had fluctuated, causing her to feel a stinging pain on her body.
"Haha!
Beauty, come to me! "
The commander of the Flame Demon Clan laughed as he moved and appeared before Qing Shuang with his hand grabbing towards the latter's slender neck.
When Qing Ling saw this scene from afar, her gaze was instantly filled with despair.
There weren't any ripples in Qing Shuang's gaze as she looked at the commander of the Flame Demon Clan, before a resolute light flashed in her eyes. She abruptly formed seals and the Spiritual Energy in her body violently fluctuated.
She actually intended to self-destruct!
"Big Sister Qing Shuang!"
When Qing Ling sensed the violent Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth, her face turned pale as she yelled out in a trembling voice.
"Bitch!"
The commander of the Flame Demon Clan's face drastically changed at this moment, before he gritted his teeth and wanted to retreat.
But in that instant when he burst out in retreat, two silhouettes suddenly appeared before him. Fists that contained crystallised lustre and gathered boundless Spiritual Energy as they ferociously slammed towards the chest of the commander of the Flame Demon Clan.
The attack was too sudden, so the commander of the Flame Demon Clan had swiftly waved his palm and black flames blazed, forcing the other party to retreat.
However, the two silhouettes paid no attention to the domineering black flames as their crystallised fists heavily slammed against the palms of the commander of the Flame Demon Clan.
Boom!
A deep sound rang out and the commander of the Flame Demon Clan's body trembled before he was blown back in a pathetic manner. However, what left him shocked wasn't the power of the two silhouettes, but the crystallised lustre spreading out from his palms. In the path of the crystallised lustre, even his black flames had started to swiftly dim down.
It was as if they had been sealed.
"What's that?!"
The commander of the Flame Demon Clan exclaimed as he retreated and frantically circulated the energy in his body to expel the crystallised lustre.
When the commander of the Flame Demon Clan retreated, another silhouette appeared before Qing Shuang. Looking at Qing Shuang, whose Spiritual Energy was rampaging in her body, he knitted his brows and slapped his palm against her chest.
As the crystallised lustre spread out, some sealing energy entered Qing Shuang's body and temporarily sealed her Spiritual Energy.
As her Spiritual Energy gradually calmed down, Qing Shuang slightly opened her eyes and a familiar youthful face was imprinted in her eyes.
"Mu Chen …" She was startled and just when she wanted to speak, her vision had turned black and she had fainted.
Just when she was about to fall, Mu Chen stretched his hand out and embraced Qing Shuang's waist. Looking at the latter, who had fainted, he helplessly knitted his brows.
"Which bastard dares to spoil this Commander's matter?!"
When Mu Chen embraced Qing Shuang, a furious roar resounded from the rear.
