Chapter 98: Blazing Heavenly Swan

  The magma quickly calmed down again, and Shi Dong, who was standing by impatiently, hurriedly urged Yu Zhen to pick the black fire lotus as soon as possible.

  Only then did Shi Dong take out a white, birdcage-like object from the spatial ring, with a long chain attached to its back. This was specially used for picking Black Fire Lotus from the molten lava, and it looked somewhat similar to the Blood Drop that Hu Gao's previous life was famous for. The Shi family was not ordinary, and since Shi Dong and his sister Shi Huan had come specifically for the Black Fire Lotus, they were naturally well-prepared.

  Yu Zhen threw the birdcage into the molten lava, and with a flick of his wrist, the cage emerged from the water again, bringing up a plump black lotus flower.

  Everything went smoothly, and the molten pool was still quiet, with nothing happening.

  At this scene, not only Stone Dong and Stone Huan siblings couldn't stand still on the side, but even Stone Qianqiu, who was suppressing Hu Gao's three people, couldn't resist the temptation and joined the picking team. One by one, the black fire lotus was taken out of the molten core and inserted into Stone Dong and Stone Huan's space rings amidst the cheers of the four.

  "Xiao Wu, what's going on? Didn't you say that the Fire Beast King was in a light sleep? How can there be such a big commotion and it still hasn't come out?" Hu Gao felt slightly puzzled in his heart, so he communicated with Xiao Wu.

  "How did I know that the Fire Beast King was definitely awake? Just now when I mobilized the dragon power, it sensed us for a while, but I hid it with the dragon aura, so it didn't discover anything."

  Xiao Wu was also somewhat perplexed. Every fire beast they had encountered in the Flame Valley before was ferocious and violent, so why was this Fire Beast King so calm? Even if it didn't care about those black fire lotus flowers, previously when Lao Na provoked it by exploding molten lava, this Fire Beast King still didn't go berserk. It was indeed a bit strange.

  "What to do now, Hu Gao?" Seeing the black lotus being picked and stored into the spatial ring one after another, Yun Feng couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. They had originally planned to let the Shi family's people fight against the Fire Beast King first before making their move, but looking at the current situation, if they didn't make their move soon, they might miss the best opportunity.

  "Let's make our move!" Han Cong gripped his Tiger Soul Gun tightly and charged forward.

  With the strength of the three, they could deal with the four Body Refining Realm cultivators on the opposite side. Although it was a bit difficult, it wasn't impossible. Han Chong was confident that as long as he played his trump card and suppressed Shi Lao, who was at the second stage of Body Refining Realm, it wouldn't be a problem. Plus, with Hu Gao's ability to use the Wind Thunder Pearl to ambush and kill Shi Dong or Shi Huan, it would be a piece of cake.

  "Alright!" Hu Gao mentally calculated the Blood Light Skill, Wind Thunder Bead and Fire Poison Bullet, how to use these three cards to maximize damage on Shi Lao who was at the second stage of the Unity Realm. "I'll hold off that Shi Lao, you guys quickly take care of those two siblings, I'm worried they might have some hidden tricks."

  "How bold!" Han Chong didn't expect Hu Gao to be so fierce and take on the most dangerous part voluntarily, feeling a bit stunned. However, he immediately remembered that guy's confident appearance and nodded in agreement, "Alright, be careful!"

  "Yunfeng, you take care of that young man first, I'll take care of the woman." Han Chong turned to Yunfeng and said with confidence in his eyes.

  "Alright!" Yun Feng nodded. He understood Han Chong's meaning, Han Chong had his own pride, wanting to quickly settle the weakest woman first, then turn around to deal with Yu Lao. But Yun Feng also had his own feelings, deciding that after he settled the man, he would go help Hu Gao.

  Han Cong saw the tiger's gun with a fishhook still wrapped around the barrel, and was about to rush out. Hu Gao immediately grabbed his hand and said, "Don't be impulsive, I have a way to sneak up on them quietly. Once my Wind and Thunder Bead is released, we'll launch a surprise attack!"

  As Hu Gao spoke, a golden gas burst out of his sleeve and quickly enveloped the three of them, isolating their auras.

  "My Wind and Thunder Bead is out, it's time to take action!"

  Shi Dong and his three companions were frantically searching for the Black Fire Lotus, their faces filled with madness. The immense joy had already made Shi Lao, who was usually extremely cautious, forget to pay attention to the three Hu brothers who had become captives behind them.

  Three people quietly and quickly rushed to the back of Shi Jia's four men, probably due to the dense black fire lotus in the molten pool, the distance between the four men was not scattered too far, which brought great convenience to Hu Gao's sneak attack.

  Hu Gaohu held the Wind and Thunder Pearl in his hand, reaching out to Shi Qianqiu. He had made up his mind that after throwing the Wind and Thunder Pearl, he would immediately use the Blood Light skill to catch this old man off guard. The Wind and Thunder Pearl might not be able to kill a martial artist of the Tongti Realm's second stage, but Hu Gaohu hoped it could blast this sinister old man into the molten pool.

  Thinking of this, Hu Gao felt a little regret. The power of the fire poison bomb did not lie in the shockwave formed by the explosion, but in the high temperature of the fire poison. Its explosive force was not great, otherwise, under these excellent conditions, it would have been possible to make these four robbers bloom like chrysanthemums!

  Yun Feng and Han Chong also reached out to Shi Dong and Shi Huan respectively, ready to take drastic measures against the two sisters.

  The situation is on the verge of eruption, Hu Gao's inner yuan energy surged towards his palm, and he was about to trigger the Wind Thunder Bead!

  "Wait!" Just then, Hu Gao's mind suddenly echoed with Xiao Wu's warning voice, and the golden dragon power radiated, blocking Hu Gao's yuan force from flowing towards his wrist, preventing him from triggering the Wind and Thunder Beads.

  Before Hu Gao could ask, a loud and clear goose cry suddenly came from the sky, with an urgent voice carrying the thick Fire Beast King's tail pressure, piercing through everyone's ears, stunning their minds.

  "Boss, it's the Fire Beast King!" Little Five's voice rang out at the same time, carrying a dragon's might and dispelling the Goose Cry Gang's influence on Hu Gao. "It's flying over from the direction of the Blazing Summit, what do we do?"

  What should I do? What should I do at this critical moment?

  Hú Gāo's brain began to spin rapidly.

  Xiao Wu stopped the activation of the Wind and Thunder Pearl, giving himself a chance to choose. Once the Wind and Thunder Pearl was activated, there would be no turning back!

  The enemy is now affected by Flame King's Mind and will also be attracted to Flame King's attention, this is the best time to strike!

  Once the Wind Thunder Pearl bursts, it will attract the attention of the newly arrived Fire Beast King. Who knows if I won't become the target of the Fire Beast King instead? After all, there is still another Fire Beast King in the Magma Pool!

  Yes! The Fire Beast King in the molten pool has not made a move, it's waiting for its companion! Facing two Fire Beast Kings and four powerful enemies, the three of them can't win!

  Withdraw!

  Hu Gao gestured to his two companions who were closely watching his actions, signaling them to quickly retreat.

  Fortunately, the effect of the goose's cry gave them enough time. Yunfeng and Han Chong did not have a chance to make a move during Hu Gao's thinking time. After waking up, they didn't dare to reveal their intentions, and quickly retreated with a fierce kick.

  "It's Kyūten no Kaze! A mid-second-tier Youjū!"

  The fastest Shi Qianqiu was overjoyed and shouted loudly, looking up to see the Fire Beast King flying extremely fast in the clear sky, with an extremely bitter heart. He didn't expect that the Fire Beast King wasn't in the Magma Pool, but instead flew from outside.

  Facing the flying second-order intermediate Fire Beast King, Chi Tian E, even if he was at the peak of the second-order realm, he had no chance of winning! He could only stay on land and, apart from taking a beating, he couldn't counterattack.

  If he can hold on, he still has a chance to escape with his life; if he can't...

  At this time, Shi Qianqiu had already forgotten about the three little ghosts' plan to launch a sneak attack. He sensed that the three little ghosts were flying away quickly and he also had the idea of escaping in his heart.

  "You insignificant fools, how dare you launch a sneak attack on us? Just watch me tear you all limb from limb!"

  At this time, Shi Qianqiu had to make a decisive move. If he hesitated any longer, the only thing waiting for him would be certain death.

  When faced with a life-and-death crisis, he still thought of himself first and didn't put Shi Dong and Shi Huan in his heart at all. He even hoped that Chi Tian E would kill them both for the first time.

  "Shi Qianqiu, stop right there! Quickly block this blazing swan!" Shi Dong and Shi Huan were not fools either. Seeing Shi Qianqiu attempting to escape, Shi Dong immediately shouted for him to halt.

  "And you, Yu Zhen!" Shi Yuan also shouted at Yu Zhen beside her.

  "But..." Shi Qianqiu wanted to argue back.

  "This is an order, how dare you disobey?"

  Shi Wan Leng let out a cold cry, and Shi Qianqiu only felt as if there were countless poisonous insects biting inside his body, his face suddenly turning pale.

  Black Rainstorm Warning Issued!

  Yu Zhen saw Shi Qianqiu's expression change greatly, his eyes filled with fear, and he hastily said, "Sixth Miss, Old Shi still needs to retain some fighting strength!"

  The implication is that Shi Yu should not be too excessive, lest Shi Qianqiu suffers greatly from the spiritual torture and his strength is severely damaged, while also making himself extremely bitter. He had just taken the Black Rain Pill, and it's already taking effect! How regrettable...

  "Hmph, I'll spare you for now. Immediately get rid of the Red Swan for me. My fifth brother and I will take care of those three."

  Shi Wan said one thing and then ran wildly in the direction of Shi Dong and others leaving Hu.

  "These two damned guys!"

  Shi Qianqiu's spirit recovered, and he watched the two quickly fleeing figures with great anger, but was helpless. He had originally swallowed the Black Rain Pill in order to successfully join the Shi family, and it had never acted up all these years. He thought its effects had already worn off, but unexpectedly it still worked now, instantly making him disheartened.

  Goose!

  At this time, the Vermilion Bird had flown to their heads, saw the scattered black fire lotus on the ground, let out a loud cry, and dived towards Shi Qianqiu.

  Just now, Shi Qianqiu had burst out with a powerful surge of energy to resist the pain of the divine soul's erosion, while Yu Zhen cunningly hid in one corner, making Shi Qianqiu the first to bear the brunt and become the target of Chi Tian E.

  Shi Qianqiu gripped the lotus picker tightly in his hand, a ten-meter-long fine chain that was comparable to a low-grade treasure. This was the only weapon he had that could harm the Blazing Heaven Goose. At this moment, he couldn't help but pray to the lotus picker, praying that it would unleash its ancestral power, wrap around the goose's head, and cut off its beak.

  So he waited, waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow!

  However, Zhu Tianyan did not give him a chance.

  Goose, goose, goose! Three urgent cries of the goose, three scarlet fire arrows shot forth, the scorching fire arrows even emitted white light, this is exactly where the fierce Goose excels.

  "Yu Zhen! Take action!" Shi Qianqiu angrily shouted, rolling to one side in a sorry state, dodging the flaming arrows in mid-air.

  However, when he dodged the three fire arrows that could burn a hole in the ground, Yu Zhen's lotus picker was still in his hand, without any intention of letting go.

  "Ah!"

  Shi Qianqiu couldn't care less about the pain, and in a fit of rage, he yelled out loud, swinging the lotus picker in his hand at the Blazing Sky Goose that was drawing an arc in mid-air, hoping to entangle its long neck.

  Ding ding ding!

  Yu Zhen's lotus picker also made a move, the previous scruples, are no longer shooting birds with a bow, but birds pecking out the head of the bow, but he still shrinks like a turtle, there is no good result.
