Chapter 99: Toad Eats Swan

  In the sky, a magnificent swan folds its wings elegantly, like a dance, posing in a beautiful posture, and then suddenly freezes in place, suddenly plummeting straight down from the sky, dodging two flying lotus-picking devices.

  A pair of eyes like rubies stared at Shi Qianqiu, his entire body radiating a scorching aura that sent chills down the spines of the people on the ground.

  Shi Qianqiu let out a furious roar, swinging the thin chain in his hand with all his might, hoping that the dragon's dance could entangle the Blazing Sky Swan.

  The Blazing Sky Goose didn't dodge the fine chain that was close to its body, and instead charged towards Shi Qianqiu. Seeing a glimmer of hope for victory, Shi Qianqiu became even more frenzied, his entire body's yuan energy bursting forth, his aura exploding outwards, with a faint feeling of breaking through to the third stage of the Unity Realm.

  A fine chain hit the wing of a swan, Shi Qianqiu was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout: "Yu Zhen! Quick!"

  Yu Zhen withdrew the lotus picker, and the people on the ground approached Shi Qianqiu. The lotus picker in their hands suddenly struck towards the direction of Zhu Tian'e's goose head, trying to force Zhu Tian'e into the delicate chain cage made by Shi Qianqiu.

  However, the next action of Zhu Tianyan made Yu Zhen's legs tremble, and he forcibly plowed two furrows on the scorching hard ground, his shadow retreating violently.

  The swan's body emitted a piercing glow, and its body was engulfed in a raging white flame. The fine chain near its body sank into the flames, emitting a hissing sound as it melted into droplets that fell to the ground.

  Shi Qianqiu didn't have time to react, his eyes suddenly turned yellow and dry, the white hair on his head, the gray clothes on his body, silently burned, his thin skin rapidly shrunk, burst open, but blood couldn't seep out, directly charred black.

  Shi Qianqiu's eerie howl, his voice hoarse from a scorched throat, sent shivers down everyone's spine!

  Among the mournful cries of two elderly humans, the long-quiet crucible finally stirred.

  Two low whirring sounds, two scarlet blades tore through the thick molten lava, slashing towards the fireball wrapped around the Blazing Swan.

  At this time, amidst the drastic changes in sound, light and heat, time seemed to have come to a standstill. Only two flame knives were quietly sliding, cutting through the air, cutting through the white flames, and finally, with two loud explosions of flesh, the world resumed its changes.

  Everything became a blur as two scarlet flame swords flew out of the light sphere, followed by two crimson wings drifting down from it, and then the entire sphere plummeted downwards.

  The sound of geese is no longer clear, and the pain that suddenly burst out has already covered human screams.

  The human cry is weakening, and Shi Qianqiu seems to be welcoming the flames like a salted fish, puffing out smoke, and the blazing swan continues to burn with flames falling onto his body.

  The sound continued, the molten pool seemed like a drum, this time it was a "bang" that jumped out of it, the sticky molten pool seemed to be the giant mouth of an unknown beast filled with sticky saliva, and this time it spat out something again.

  This is a gigantic toad! The five or six meter large toad, its entire body fiery red, with scattered golden spots that are particularly dazzling, makes the giant toad's fiery red not appear abrupt, not like it has been skinned, but rather like a set of hot and spicy attire that pierces through one's soul.

  Fire Cloud Toad!

  Yu Zhen didn't know why he didn't run away, but instead kept marveling at the changes in sound and light around him within these few short seconds.

  Then he was fortunate enough to witness a toad eating a swan.

  A soft, pink tongue darted out of the Fire Cloud Toad's mouth and lightly stuck to the falling Blazing Sky Goose. Without giving the once beautiful bird time to continue its mournful cries, it suddenly retracted, roughly pulling the Blazing Sky Goose back into the enormous maw that could swallow the Fire Cloud Toad itself.

  The second-order mid-term roast goose was eaten like this!

  Yu Zhen fell to the ground, before his eyes were the charred and twisted corpses of Shi Qianqiu, as well as Huo Yun Chan's brutal act of swallowing the second-stage intermediate Fire Beast King, Zhu Tian E.

  The fire cloud toad let out a satisfied belch, still feeling unsatisfied as it smacked its lips, several blood-stained red feathers floating down from the corners of its mouth. The fire cloud toad stuck out its tongue and reattached them back onto its mouth.

  Huoyun Chan's eyes, as colorful as a giant opal gemstone, glanced at the fallen human and suddenly stood up. One of its sturdy hind legs stood upright, while the other leg swung out a golden-red flame sword, lightly slashing through the humans on the ground.

  "No..." The miserable scream had not yet stopped, the body was already severed into two parts, falling to the ground, with a charred and blackened stump, too horrible to behold.

  "Ribbit!" Huoyun Chanchan puffed out his chest in satisfaction, looking in the direction where Eyehu Gao had left. There was a hint of puzzlement in Huoyun Chanchan's eyes, as if he couldn't quite figure something out. But then he simply stopped thinking about it and took off after him with two quick hops of his hind legs.

  But in an instant, it seemed to have thought of something, turned around, looked towards the direction of the molten lava, and there was some hesitation in its eyes, as well as a reluctance to part with it, but in the end, it still reluctantly walked towards the molten lava.

  "Hmm..."

  As it approached the magma, it didn't waste any more time. With a single suck, one or two hundred black fire lotus seeds flew directly into its mouth. However, this process was far from over. In just an instant, another three to four hundred black fire lotus seeds flew up and entered its mouth once again.

  "Huff... huff..."

  He sucked all the black lotus into his mouth and then turned around to chase after Hu Gao's direction.

  "I'm telling you, I am Shi Dong, the fifth young master of the Shi family. This is my sister Shi Yu. If you dare to harm us, just wait for the revenge of the Shi family. At that time, it will not be something you can bear."

  Three thousand miles away from here, Shi Dong and Shi Huan stood exceptionally disheveled in front of Yun Feng and Han Chong, their weapons nowhere to be found.

  Originally, the brother and sister saw Shi Qianqiu's fearful expression when facing Zhu Tian'e, so they used "Hei Yu Dan" to force those two old men to block Zhu Tian'e, allowing them to escape. However, they didn't expect that the three little ghosts who were originally fleeing in front of them and weren't taken seriously by the siblings would actually dare to turn around and block their way!

  Yun Feng and Han Chong both curled their lips, clearly not taking his threat seriously.

  Their current goal is simple, since the Magma Pool has a Blazing Swan and another Fire Beast King guarding it, they will eliminate the two Stone siblings and take away the Black Fire Lotus in their spatial rings.

  As long as the whole process is careful and meticulous, there will be no accidents, and no matter how powerful the forces behind them are, they won't be able to find anything on their heads.

  "Sorry, it's you who are the threat, prompting your swift demise." Hu Gao walked out from the side and gave an answer, while also giving a piece of advice, "If you have another chance in the next life, don't let arrogance fool your heads!"

  "No! You can't kill us... absolutely not!" Shi Yuan cried out, her face filled with terror, suddenly realizing that apart from her own family, she had no one else to rely on for survival.

  "Can't find any excuse now, right?" Hu Gao looked at the Shi family siblings, Shi Dong was still pretending to be calm, while Shi Huan had already become somewhat flustered. "At the last moment, there's some progress, didn't drag down the family."

  "Shi Jia will forever protect us!" Shi Dong glared at Hu Gao furiously, now that the two siblings still had a bit of strength left, how could they lose their confidence just because of Hu Gao's few words? "And with just the three of you, can you kill us?"

  "Hmph." Hu Gao snorted, no longer speaking, and with a wave of his hand, a crimson light shot into Shi Dong's body, scaring Shi Wan next to him into a shrill cry. Before Shi Dong came to, a clear long sword was already pressed against his neck.

  With Hu Gao's current Blood Light skill, it doesn't have much effect on a normal Body Cultivator at the middle stage of the first tier, but for Shi Dong, who lacks spiritual training as a pampered young master, it's really hard to resist.

  "Not three, one is enough!" Hu Gao punched a fist into Shi Dong's abdomen, and the Shadowless Sword scraped out a bloody mark on Shi Dong's neck.

  Pain and fright caused Shi Dong's face to be instantly covered in cold sweat, his chest heaving with rough gasps, not daring to speak.

  "Bring out that elixir that controls people." Hu Gao's tongue licked his lips, looking somewhat arrogant as he stared at Shi Yan beside him.

  Shi Wan's face was equally unsightly, from the beginning of the fierce heavenly swan, the successive frights had already broken through her endurance, and she looked at Hu Gao with a bitter expression, saying: "That Heiyu Dan is useless to you too, inside are fragments of our divine souls."

  Shi Yu understood that Hu Gao wanted to use the Black Rain Pill to control his siblings, but she knew more about the pain it would bring, a face that was more painful than Shi Dong's punch.

  "She's telling the truth." Han Chong, who was walking alongside Yun Feng, said, "I know a thing or two about Hei Yu Dan. When refining it, one needs to infuse their own divine soul fragments into it. Outsiders can't use it."

  "It's a pity to say that you didn't leave yourself a way out." Hu Gao shook his head and said, "Hand over the space ring."

  Looking at the three swords aimed at her siblings, a spear, and Shi Wei who was still alive but feared death, she reluctantly took off the space ring from her hand and handed it over to Hu Gao.

  "You... won't... have a good ending..."

  Shi Dong, who had his space ring snatched away by Hu Gao and was punched again, hugged his stomach and spat out a resentful remark.

  "What will happen if they take this Black Rain Pill themselves?"

  Hu Gao played with the few Black Rain Pills he had dug out of Shi Xing's spatial ring, his face eager to try them.

  "I didn't know that." Han Chong shook his head, "I haven't heard of anyone trying it before. The Black Rain Pill can enhance one's spiritual energy, but the spiritual fragments inside are actually things that control other people's spiritual energy."

  "Come on, open your big mouth!" Hu Gao said with a smile to Shi Yan.

  Roughly knowing that Hei Yu Dan had no side effects, Shi Wei didn't resist much and was pinched by Hu Gao's mouth, with the five Hei Yu Dans being forced into her throat.

  "Good girl!" Hu Gao smiled and patted Shi Yun's face a few times, completely ignoring the woman's expression.

  What a pity! The elixir that can enhance one's spiritual energy!

  Hu Gao regretted it endlessly, his Blood Light skill consumed a lot of spiritual energy, if he could get the formula for the Black Rain Pill...

  Forget it, I won't even try to refine it myself, and borrowing someone else's hands is too dangerous.

  Hu Gao still wanted to observe Shi Yan's reaction, but suddenly a warning from Xiao Wu came into his mind.

  "Big brother, run quickly! The Fire Beast King is chasing after us!"

  "What about the Fire Beast King?!" Hu Gao's hand shook as he grasped the Shadowless Sword, and the scars on Shi Dong's neck deepened a few more lines.

  "It's coming out of the molten pool very quickly! Boss, let's go!" Little Five urged Hu Gao, looking extremely anxious.

  What the heck! Did those two old men both die?

  "Run fast!" Hu Gao didn't dare to think much, and shouted at Yun Feng and Han Chong, pulling them to run far away, not even having time to pull out the knife from Shi Dong's neck.
