"Out of the way! Let Fatso deal with this birdman!"

Fei Xiao, having just been resurrected by Luo Xiu using the Elysian Nether Earth, eagerly leaped into the air and threw a savage punch at the Gu Diao.

His large, obese body shot forward like a massive cannonball, exploding with astonishing power.

"BOOM!"

With a thunderous crash, the Gu Diao was smashed directly into the ground by Fei Xiao.

"Hahahaha! Now that felt good! Damn good!"

Fei Xiao landed heavily, throwing his head back to laugh as his fists pounded his chest, sending ripples through the fat on his body.

This newly formed Body of the Dark Land, despite its eerie gray color, had a texture indistinguishable from real flesh and blood.

"Come on, you beast! Come fight Lord Fatso!"

Fei Xiao planted his feet, his face a mask of arrogance as he stared down the Gu Diao.

"Don't get cocky, fat sheep! If you want a fight, you've got one!"

"Taste my claws!"

The Gu Diao sprang up, swiping a claw fiercely. Its sharp talons tore through The Void, striking Fei Xiao's fleshy torso.

"CLANG—!"

Strangely, the impact sounded like metal striking metal, like an old bronze bell in an ancient temple being struck by an elderly monk.

Fei Xiao roared with laughter, looking utterly invincible. A nearly imperceptible Gang Qi was swirling around his body.

Mu Xueyan, who had retreated to a safe distance to watch, exclaimed in surprise, "His defense is terrifying."

No one present would have dared to meet the Gu Diao's claws head-on, yet Fei Xiao had taken the blow with his body and emerged unscathed!

Dou Dou said, "That dead fatty is cultivating the Heavenly Gang Armor of the Mysterious Sect."

Hearing this, Mu Xueyan's beautiful eyes widened for a moment before she relaxed. If it was the legendary Heavenly Gang Armor of the Mysterious Sect, then such a feat was no longer surprising.

Unexpectedly, just then, the enraged Gu Diao flew up and struck again with its claw, instantly shattering Fei Xiao's Heavenly Gang Armor of the Mysterious Sect.

"BANG—!"

With a loud pop, Fei Xiao's large, obese body exploded, turning into a shower of fragments that scattered across the sky like a popped balloon.

The Gu Diao couldn't help but laugh hysterically. "Just a pathetic fat sheep! And you dared to act so rampant before this lord!"

His tirade finished, his gaze swept over to Chi Sha and the other women. He sneered, "Now, it's your turn. This lord will drag you all back to my cave, enjoy myself for a good couple of weeks, and then eat you!"

"Birdman, Lord Fatso isn't done having fun! What are you so cocky about?"

Suddenly, a playful voice echoed through the air.

The Gu Diao's gaze wavered. To its shock, it saw Fei Xiao's exploded body regenerating at an incredible speed.

"My Body of the Dark Land is immortal and indestructible! I can fight you to the bitter end!"

With a fierce glint in his eyes, Fei Xiao pounced on the Gu Diao.

「Elsewhere.」

Luo Xiu glanced at Chi Sha and the others. "Fei Xiao doesn't have much time. You need to find the right moment."

Chi Sha just snorted coldly without a word. Her Majesty the Queen hated being ordered around by Luo Xiu.

Dou Dou's small face was full of determination. "Don't worry, Chen Shuisheng. Dou Dou is very good at finding opportunities for sneak attacks."

"..."

For the next several minutes, Fei Xiao was brutally beaten by the Gu Diao. He was torn to shreds several times in a gruesome spectacle.

However, the Body of the Dark Land was immortal. No matter how the Gu Diao tormented him, Fei Xiao remained undefeated. He was already dead, so how could the Gu Diao possibly defeat a dead man?

Gradually, faced with Fei Xiao's suicidal fighting style, the Gu Diao began to feel the strain. Though Fei Xiao was "killed" over and over, each time cost the Gu Diao precious energy.

Finally, as Fei Xiao reconstituted his Body of the Dark Land once more and lunged forward to grapple the Gu Diao, Chi Sha and Mu Xueyan made their move.

Chi Sha shot into the air and, with an incredibly domineering punch, slammed the Gu Diao into the ground.

Immediately after, Mu Xueyan used the length of white silk ribbon in her hand to tightly bind the Gu Diao's wings.

Yang Zhilu flashed forward, a terrifying power gathering in her jade-like finger. She thrust it out, piercing one of the Gu Diao's eyes and blinding it.

Witnessing this from afar, Luo Xiu couldn't help but shiver, the memory of this malicious woman blinding his left eye surfacing abruptly.

Following Yang Zhilu, Xue Xiao also darted forward. He pressed a single hand onto the Gu Diao's body, and eerie, blood-red patterns began to crawl across his skin.

"Blood Explosion Technique!"

"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG..."

In an instant, a series of explosions erupted all over the Gu Diao's body, as if its very blood was detonating under the influence of some strange power.

Within moments, the Gu Diao's immense form was riddled with bloody holes of all sizes. It was a terrifying sight that made one's scalp tingle.

Just then, Dou Dou descended from the sky, gripping her black umbrella with both hands. Wielding the power of thunder, she plunged the umbrella straight through the Gu Diao's head.

"Die, baldy! Watch me scramble your brains!"

Dou Dou might have looked cute, but she was more ruthless than anyone when it came to killing. She gripped the umbrella's handle and gave it a sharp twist. Instantly, a violent torrent of lightning erupted within the Gu Diao's skull.

The Gu Diao let out a heart-wrenching, unwilling scream.

"You despicable bipeds! To think that I, this lord, would fall to you!"

"Even in death, I'll take you all down with me!"

Its crazed roar echoed between heaven and earth as its massive body began to tremble, radiating a blinding light. An aura of pure destruction instantly filled the air.

"Not good! The beast is going to self-destruct!"

"Run!"

Xue Xiao shouted, turning on his heel and making a beeline for Xia Chan. To him, her safety was paramount.

At the same time, Luo Xiu sensed the mortal danger. Without hesitation, he grabbed Su Shenyun and ran.

But they hadn't gotten far when a world-shaking explosion roared from behind them.

"BOOM—!"

The entire world seemed to be swallowed by that deafening roar.

In that instant, Luo Xiu felt his body being thrown into the air by an immense force, sent spinning and tumbling uncontrollably.

After a wave of indescribable pain, Luo Xiu lost consciousness. He blacked out completely before he even hit the ground.

In the final moment before his mind went dark, he vaguely felt a pair of hands embrace his waist from behind, and a sweet fragrance filled his senses.

...

An unknown amount of time passed.

When Luo Xiu groggily opened his eyes, he found himself sprawled in a mud pit. His entire body ached unbearably, as if his bones had been shattered.

He tried to roll over and get up but felt something soft on his back. He hurriedly twisted his head to look and saw Su Shenyun lying on top of him!

"Su Fox!"

Luo Xiu felt a sharp pain pierce his heart, but he forced himself to remain calm. He carefully shifted Su Shenyun off him, laid her flat on the ground, and checked her injuries.

Her breath was as faint as a wisp of silk. Her entire back was a mangled mess of flesh and blood, matted with strands of her own hair. Her clothes were torn to shreds, barely clinging to her body.

Tears welled in Luo Xiu's eyes and his nose stung, but he fought to remain calm as he quickly and carefully administered first aid. It was only then that he remembered. In that final moment, Su Shenyun had hugged him from behind, shielding him from the worst of the blast.

"Su Fox, hang in there! You have to be okay!"

"Wake up!"

"Su Shenyun, you foolish woman!"

"Wake up, please!"
