The sky was already dusky as a large expanse of sunset glow arose in the west.

Amidst the glow, distant forests were stained with layers of colors.

The mist around Immortal Sorrow Cliff, under the amber-colored sunset, was as light as a sheer veil, floating and sinking, like the graceful dance of an immortal maiden.

The evening breeze wafted as a solitary goose flew distantly, presenting a beautiful scene of the sunset.

However, at this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang had no time to appreciate the scenery, as his eyes were firmly fixed on the pink tender tongue of Little Qing, shaped like a willow leaf outside her mouth.

He saw that the tongue could bend into the shape of a drill bit, and Wang Xiaoqiang secretly marveled, excited and thrilled.

The tongue of a snake species, utterly incomparable to that of a human.

...

Half an hour later, Wang Xiaoqiang felt slightly fatigued, so he had Little Qing keep watch and comfortably lay down in her arms to nap for a moment.

Only after the sky had completely darkened did Little Qing wake him up.

Then, with Little Qing carrying Wang Xiaoqiang on her back, they continued on their journey under the hazy moonlight.

This narrow path on the sheer cliff, indeed as Little Qing had mentioned, was very safe,

especially at night, extraordinarily quiet, with only occasional roars of spirit beasts coming from below the cliff.

They walked through the night and did not encounter a single spirit beast.

By dawn, they stopped again to rest,

Wang Xiaoqiang took out food and wine, shared it with Little Qing, and as they filled their stomachs, Wang Xiaoqiang asked while eating, "Little Qing, we should have reached the heart of the mountain range by now, right?"

"Yes, master, if we continue forward, we will enter the interior of the mountain range..."

"Mm, after eating, let's hurry on our way, and moreover, speed up!" Wang Xiaoqiang instructed.

Little Qing nodded solemnly and obediently.

When they set off again, she carried Wang Xiaoqiang on her back and increased her speed.

Wang Xiaoqiang dared not sleep again; he released his Divine Sense and searched carefully for the armor,

but by the afternoon, he still had not found the whereabouts of Armor Nr.8.

"Master, if we proceed another thousand meters, we will reach the central area of Yan Mountain, which is filled with spirit beasts from sixth level to tenth level, very dangerous. Are you willing to take this risk?" Little Qing cautioned.

"Since we're here, not getting the armor means we won't turn back!" Wang Xiaoqiang said as he fiercely expanded his Divine Sense.

Having gone another nine hundred meters and just about to enter the central region of the mountain range, Wang Xiaoqiang's Divine Sense made a significant discovery,

he found Armor Nr.8.

However, at this time, the bearer of Armor Nr.8 was being attacked by a group of spirit beasts.

Wang Xiaoqiang made a decisive decision, "Little Qing, stop."

Little Qing stopped abruptly.

Wang Xiaoqiang got off of Little Qing and said, "Little Qing, I'm going to seize the armor. For your safety, I'll first keep you in my Storage Ring…"

Little Qing did not ask more, just obediently nodded her head.

With a movement of his will, Wang Xiaoqiang kept Little Qing in the Sumeru Ring and then leaped upwards to the cliff face, flying towards the location of Armor Nr.8.

Soon, Wang Xiaoqiang arrived at the location of the armor, where he found that he had encountered the same group that had entered the mountain with him.

However, out of the nineteen individuals, only nine remained,

among these nine, there was the female cultivator named Liyan, and the other eight male cultivators whose cultivation bases were not weak, all above the eighth stage of the True Immortal Realm,

and Armor Nr.8 was firmly grasped in the hands of the powerhouse with a Fourfold Body of the Immortal Venerable...

Clearly, he had just found and seized Armor Nr.8, but unfortunately, these nine were being surrounded and attacked by a group of large-bodied spirit beasts.

This was a group of Li Dragons, totaling ten.

Li Dragons resembled dragons in form, with wings on their backs that allowed them to fly. However, Li Dragons weren't flying beasts; they weren't accustomed to flying and usually preferred crawling, making them quite fast on land as well.

The bodies of Li Dragons reached over fifty meters in length, their forms both long and large.

Li Dragons were fifth level Spirit Beasts, possessing formidable strength. Their Fire Spirit Technique was several times more powerful than that of the Fire Luan; not only could they spew flames, but their sharp claws could also generate fire.

Encountering this group of Li Dragons was particularly bad luck for these nine people.

Especially for that powerhouse with a Fourfold Body of the Immortal Venerable who had just seized the Armor. Relying on his profound cultivation base, nobody below dared to compete with him. Just as he was about to triumphantly return, he was attacked by these ten Li Dragons. It could be said he had encountered a streak of incredibly bad luck.

Seeing the nine cultivators entangled in battle with the ten Li Dragons, Wang Xiaoqiang naturally wouldn't go up to help; he stood far away, quietly observing the situation.

Under the assault of the ten Li Dragons, those nine cultivators were incessantly forced to retreat.

The Li Dragons not only breathed fire from their mouths, but their six claws were also enveloped in scorching flames, continuously launching fiery attacks at the cultivators.

Screams of agony kept coming as cultivators were continually slain by the claws and teeth of the Li Dragons,

However, under the counterattack of the powerhouse with the Fourfold Body of the Immortal Venerable, the Li Dragons also suffered deaths and injuries.

The Immortal Venerable with the Fourfold Body stood there, calmly issuing four Avatars to fight the Li Dragons.

Those four Avatars, indifferent to the life and death of their teammates, focused their attacks on a single Li Dragon.

No matter how powerful a Li Dragon was, it couldn't withstand the combined assault of four avatars at the Immortal Venerable stage. They fell one by one.

Cultivators and Spirit Beasts continuously fell in the deadly skirmish.

In the end, only three Li Dragons and two cultivators remained. These two were none other than the powerhouse with the Fourfold Body of the Immortal Venerable and Liyan.

There's a saying about invincibility stemming from meanness, which might just describe people like Liyan,

The True Immortal Realm Ninth Stage Liyan was continuously pushed back by a Li Dragon. To save her life, she kept moving closer to the original being of the Immortal Venerable Fourfold Body and repeatedly cried out to him for help,

This Immortal Venerable, perhaps seeing some charm in Liyan and not wanting her to perish under the claws and teeth of the Li Dragon, occasionally used his spell techniques to protect her.

As a result, Liyan too fortunately saved her life in the end.

However, the three remaining Li Dragons were still alive and showed no signs of stopping their assault on the original being of the Immortal Venerable and Liyan.

"Brother Xia, save me!" Liyan cried out tenderly.

The powerhouse with the Immortal Venerable Fourfold Body took Liyan into his Storage Ring and then joined his four avatars to battle the Li Dragons.

Like cultivators, Spirit Beasts also have variations in strength; even amongst the same species, they are distinguished as stronger or weaker based on the amount of Spiritual Power within them.

These three Li Dragons had fought to the end, which clearly showed their tremendous strength. In the battle against the original being of the Immortal Venerable and his three avatars, they were surprisingly holding their own.

After several rounds of fighting, one Li Dragon was killed by the combined force of two avatars.

At the same moment this Li Dragon died, the other two Li Dragons, as if their scales had been touched, roared with fury, unleashed their power, and launched a fierce attack on one avatar.

Their claws blazed with increased flames as the two Li Dragons, one in front and one behind, bit towards that avatar.

The two Li Dragons managed to tear that avatar into two halves.

Blood sprayed, covering the ground.

It was like Hell on Earth.

With the destruction of the avatar, the original being also suffered backlash; the Immortal Venerable with the Fourfold Body had his cultivation base reduced by one level and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood,

In anger, he roared and lunged at the two Li Dragons.

These two Li Dragons, one male and one female, whether or not they were mates, coordinated very tacitly, attacking and defending as one, advancing and retreating together.

Moreover, they took the opportunity to jointly attack his avatar.

Under their precise tactics, another avatar was swiftly eliminated.

At this moment, the Immortal Venerable again dropped a level, simultaneously spitting out another mouthful of fresh blood, (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on QiDian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
