slaughtered first.” Huo Dang let out a cold smile. His wolf tooth hammer, empowered by magical energy, grew larger and the spikes on it shot into the air, detaching from the hammer body. Like countle...The ethereal sword array recovered from the attack of Biqiong Yaoxi, only pausing slightly before firing back at her again.

Eight flying swords transformed into eight beams of light, shooting out like arrows. Three snake demons with emerald scales bristled as the sword formation attacked their black scales, producing a flurry of metallic clangs that dazzled the eyes. However, the three snake demons' defenses could not withstand the continuous onslaught of the sword formation. With a hiss, a beam of sword light pierced through their scales, sinking three inches deep and bringing out a few drops of dark green blood.

Three snake heads hissed in pain, one spitting out a cloud of emerald poisonous breath. The black light shot out, colliding with the ethereal flying sword.

Lu Xia Tian was struck heavily, his figure staggering. The Purple Leaf Zhen Wu had just mitigated part of the attack before, this time its effect was smaller, a few blood streaks escaping from Lu Xia Tian's mouth.

“Not bad, but a human kid in the early stage of Nascent Soul, actually managed to wound this seat. When this seat recovers its strength later, I will come back and take your little life.”

Three snake demons arrived, their attacks coming one after another, each with formidable power. The other two Yuan Ying eight cultivators and the eight-legged demonic ox beast, though not directly attacking, swayed their forms to position themselves in extremely tricky angles.

These people have an undercurrent of aggression. Bijing reckons that in her prime, she wouldn't give these people a second glance. However, at this time, her strength is greatly diminished; a tiger fallen into the plains, it's not the time to clash with these people.

Having said that, the three-headed snake demon Bi Qiong Yin chuckled coldly. With a flick of her long tail, she plunged into the ground. A wave of earth magic rippled outward, and her figure vanished without a trace.

"Dual-attribute Ice and Earth Grand Demon." Lu Xia Tian narrowed his eyes. Originally, he had some thoughts about killing these three snake demons, but after a clash, he felt that this idea was unrealistic. Even though the opponent's strength had greatly diminished, their eyesight and combat experience far surpassed anyone present. Even if their combat power was slightly inferior to the combined forces of everyone present, if they were determined to leave, they would not be able to hold him back.

The opponent fled underground. If they had used the Ziye Zhenwu, they could have intercepted him, but after making a move just now, he realized the formidable power of the three-headed snake demon, especially the Biqiong Yao Xi which made him wary. Lu Xiaoteng didn't dare to act rashly. Moreover, Niu Qin, Zhao Xin, and he were not united. Their actions were clearly half a beat slower at first. If it hadn't been for his recent awakening of the Ziye Zhenwu, he would have been injured if he had made a move just now.

After suffering some losses, Lu Xia Tian would never repeat the same mistakes.

"When these two guys are alone with those three snake demons later on, they'll know they regret it." Lu Xia Tian thought coldly to himself.

"The crisis is over now, you two can do as you please." Lu Xia Tian glanced at Niu Qin and Zhao Xin, his tone cold. He glanced at the corpses on the ground, the storage rings had already been taken by the three snake demons. The original spirit grass garden was just a facade; there was no such thing as the Hao Yuan key grass, the Bi Shen wood and other spiritual herbs. They were simply hidden behind the black iron lion group, and no one could notice them until after they rushed into the group of black iron lions, it was too late. And they encountered three incredibly powerful snake demons."

As for the other herbs in Lingcao Garden, though precious, they held little significance for the Yuan Ying cultivators present, nor for the tenth-tier demon cultivators.

“Di Kun, would you be willing to be my spirit beast again” Lu Xiaotian looked at the three-headed serpent demon’s Biqiong demon aura that had left Di Kun lying on the ground, barely alive. There were large patches of festering wounds on his body, and several holes in his back wings. The demonic energy he emitted was extremely weak.

“Out of respect for the years I served you, grant me one final request: take my body back to Yin Feng Valley.”

Di Kun's crimson eyes flashed with a hint of pain, obviously enduring the torment of Bi Qing Yao Xi. Looking at Lu Xia Tian now, his eyes were filled with unwillingness and defiance. In Di Kun's proud nature, he would never be willing to be controlled by a human again even if the person in front of him was his former master, while his spiritual consciousness was still intact.

Among those present, hearing that the tenth-rank Emperor Kun was Lu Xia Tian's spirit beast came as a great surprise to everyone. Emperor Kun's combat prowess was well known to all; his speed was astonishing. Even Niu Qin and Zhao Xin, when dueling with Emperor Kun, would not dare say they could win easily. As for Luo Qian and Qiao Lan and the others, they were even less formidable.

A strange look appeared on everyone's faces. It seemed that there was a complicated past between Lu Xia Tian and this Di Kun.

"You shouldn't continue to be against me, I have agreed to your demands."

A sliver of coldness flashed in Lu Xia Tian's eyes. He pointed his finger and a sword light shot from Di Kun's brow, piercing through it. At this time, Di Kun could no longer withstand such an attack and had no heart to resist. A few drops of blood oozed from between his brows. Di Kun's demon infant was also engulfed by the Biqiong demonic breath invading its body, and its primordial spirit was covered in a matter of moments. Lu Xia Tian didn't bother to save it. Besides, the power of Biqiong demonic breath was formidable; even if he wanted to save it, it would be difficult. He reached out and swept away Di Kun's corpse.

As for Emperor Kun, if he were left unattended at this time, given his current state, he would most likely be killed by other people or monsters, and even the spiritual materials on his body would be hard to protect, let alone escaping a fate of being dismembered. Lu Xia Tian had already let Emperor Kun go once, it was impossible for him to just sit idly by and watch another powerful enemy rise. Emperor Kun, having been a spirit beast for so many years, had his original memories erased. For the proud Emperor Kun, this was a humiliation. Between them, there was no possibility of reconciliation.

This time, their reunion saw Di Kun reduced to such a state, it was truly the heavens playing tricks. However, Lu Xiaotian felt a twinge of hesitation in his heart. Last time when Di Kun had fallen into his hands, even Longshi Yuanshen had tried to dissuade him. This time, there wasn't a single sound from him, leaving Lu Xiaotian wondering what unforeseen event had transpired Though he couldn't grasp the reason, Lu Xiaotian felt a heightened sense of caution. The absence of Longshi Yuanshen was not without cause.

After thinking hard, he couldn't come up with a reason. Lu Xia Tian didn't stay any longer and left with Luo Qian and the others.

Although he had flown hundreds of miles, Lu Xia Tian suddenly stopped.

“Lu brother, have you discovered something” the Eight-Legged Demon Ox beast asked.

“I'm not quite sure yet. You guys stay here for a bit, I have something to take care of and will be back.” Lu Xia Tian rubbed his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Brother Lu, could it be that you're upset with me because previously my brother Niu and I didn't heed your advice and recklessly seized spiritual objects If that’s the case, I apologize to Brother Lu. In the future, I will absolutely follow your lead and never disobey your orders.”

Upon hearing what Lu Xiaotien said, Qiao Lan's complexion changed. At this time, she was still injured, and her journey had made her aware of the dangers within this secret realm. Without a powerful ally like Lu Xiaotien, someone trustworthy and strong, she feared for her life every day.

"Your actions with Brother Niu are understandable, besides I'm injured now and still need some capable assistants. How could I abandon you both"

Lu Xia Tian shook his head, not saying much. He flashed forward a few steps and disappeared. Only his faint voice still echoed from afar, "I'll go back and see what's going on first. In an incense stick's time, you return along the original path and meet me there. That Black Iron Lion formation, though broken by time, is still somewhat strange." actually formed your golden cores, not bad." Lu Xia Tian saw these two cultivators who were once his peers, a few smiles appeared on his face. Although their cultivation levels were worlds apart, the...
