Mo Lian had noticed that Xiao Chen would not dare to use Deities Descending to explode forth with twenty Dragon Force again within a short time.

However, Xiao Chen had not intended to clash head-on with the other party in the first place. He was here to bully others.

Xiao Chen pointed at his own forehead and quickly awakened the will clone that the Supreme Sky Emperor gave him. A heavy aura slowly spread out from him.

Mo Lian’s expression changed drastically. He muttered, “This is Emperor’s Might. You have a Martial Emperor’s will clone!”

Xiao Chen smiled gently and said, “Your guess is correct. Today, you are not the one bullying me. Instead, I am the one bullying you. If you’re not convinced, I’ll make you understand that you really cannot do anything to me!”

Right after Xiao Chen spoke, the Supreme Sky Emperor’s will clone shot out from his forehead. Then, the will clone narrowed its eyes, and Emperor’s Might gathered.

Just the aura alone managed to knock Mo Lian into the air. His aura fell apart, and he fled in a sorry state, not daring to stop at all.

Martial Emperors could be divided into three stages: Minor Heavenly, Greater Heavenly, and Sovereign.

The strength of a Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor would improve by another level with every tribulation they went through. After they cleared eight tribulations, they would undergo one Sovereign tribulation to become a Sovereign Martial Emperor.

No matter what kind of Martial Emperor created the will clone, it would be able to kill a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage like Mo Lian easily.

The Supreme Sky Emperor, Ying Zongtian, was a Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor who had cleared eight tribulations. The will clone that he left with Xiao Chen would have no problem killing Mo Lian.

Mo Lian was so frightened that his soul nearly dissipated, his fighting spirit fizzling out entirely. The moment he sensed the Emperor’s Might, he even forgot to block, resulting in him getting sent flying.

He vomited blood and came to his senses. He paled and quickly fled without saying anything else. Every time he pushed off the ground, countless cracks appeared, spreading out in a spiderweb fashion.

However, it was already too late for him to flee. The four saw a large spatter of blood five kilometers away.

Barring complications, the Supreme Sky Emperor’s will clone had smashed Mo Lian to death, not even leaving any bones.

Yuan Xu felt some regret. He asked, “Xiao Chen, isn’t it somewhat of a waste to use the Supreme Sky Emperor’s will clone?”

Xiao Chen aside, Yuan Xu, Xiao Bai, and Kong Yuan were all outstanding talents who stood at the top of the Fiend Race’s younger generation.

While no one in their group had much of a chance against a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage in a one-on-one, if they worked together, including Xiao Chen, they would be able to put up a fight. In fact, their chances of victory were pretty good, at least sixty percent.

Xiao Chen’s countenance looked normal. He was currently recovered from the damage from using twenty Dragon Force. The surface wounds had already all healed.

Now, only some small cracks in Xiao Chen’s bones remained, slowly healing. However, as long as he did not bring out twenty Dragon Force anytime soon, he would recover completely before long.

Xiao Chen looked in the direction where Mo Lian came from. Then, he replied, “Whether it was worth it or not would depend. If we can snatch the Yin-attributed flame that those people have their eyes on, it would be worth it to me!”

He had guessed that those footprints at the side of Last Breath Lake earlier belonged to the Medicine God Valley’s people here to look for a Yin-attributed flame.

However, the Medicine God Valley’s group only had one great grandmaster-level Martial Sage while the footprints suggested that there were two of them.

Only after Xiao Chen saw Mo Lian did he figure it out. Now, he was sure that those who had preceded his group were the Medicine God Valley’s people. On the other hand, he still could not figure out why Mo Lian had joined up with them.

The Yin-attributed flame that the Medicine God Valley’s people sent a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage to retrieve would definitely be of a high grade. Xiao Chen’s Lunar True Flame had not improved for quite some time.

As a result, the balance of the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram between Yin and Yang was lost. Xiao Chen had not been able to bring out the greatest might of the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram for a long time already.

Now, an opportunity presented itself before him.

Naturally, Xiao Chen was not willing to let Mo Lian get away and risk the two great grandmaster-level Martial Sages joining forces. Obtaining the Yin-attributed flame would be much more problematic that way.

After listening to Xiao Chen’s explanation, the rest understood. So, that was why.

Xiao Bai thought for a while and then said, “I once read in Adoptive Father’s study that the highest grade of Yin-attributed flame in the Nine Layers of Purgatory was the Icy Snow Flame. However, no one has managed to find it for a long time. It is possible that this group of people is here for the Icy Snow Flame.”

Yuan Xu nodded and said, “This Icy Snow Flame ranks in the top ten among Yin-attributed flames. It is indeed worth making a move for.”

Kong Yuan was an impetuous person. He said quickly, “In that case, what are we waiting for? Let’s rush over. If we are too slow, the Yin-attributed flame might get snatched away.”

Yuan Xu smiled and said, “You blockhead! If the Yin-attributed flame was so easy to subdue, it would have been subdued long ago. I believe they are now waiting for this Ghost Race great grandmaster-level Martial Sage to snatch Xiao Chen’s Secret Treasure and go back to help.

“There is no need for us to rush. The fiercer the fight between them and the Phantom guarding the Yin-attributed flame, the better. We can just benefit from their battle.”

Xiao Chen smiled, agreeing with Yuan Xu’s opinion. He said, “Let’s go. We can take our time and walk over. If we are too fast and startle them, it would not be good.”

The four traveled leisurely, walking in the direction that Mo Lian had come from. After an hour, they finally heard the sounds of an intense battle.

Another hour later, the scene of a battle five kilometers away appeared before them. They quickly hid themselves.

The group saw a completely golden skeleton holding a huge sickle fighting at a quick pace with an old man wearing Battle Armor and brandishing a long spear.

It was clear that the old man in Battle Armor was at a disadvantage.

If not for a person at the side occasionally sending out bright light at the Golden Bone Demonic Soul from an ancient mirror in his hand, the great grandmaster-level Martial Sage would not have been able to hold on and would have fled long ago.

Several tragic-looking corpses lay on the ground, all of them chopped in half.

Xiao Chen’s gaze immediately went to the mound. When he saw the magnificent Icy Snow Flame, he revealed joy on his face.

It was indeed the Icy Snow Flame, one of the top ten Yin-attributed flames. After the Lunar True Flame consumed it, the Lunar True Flame would be able to match the current Purple Thunder True Fire.

When that happened, the might of the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram would strengthen further. In the future, he would be able to ensure his own safety when facing a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage.

Xiao Chen scanned the entire battlefield in the sky. After that, he figured out a method to deal with this. He said, “Later, I will block the Golden Bone Demonic Soul. Xiao Bai, help me retrieve the Icy Snow Flame.”

“What about those two in the air?”

A bow appeared in Xiao Chen’s hand. Then he took out the last Star Breaker Arrow and said softly, “They will be dead men soon. If you do as I say later, we will be able to retrieve the Icy Snow Flame without suffering any injuries.”

He drew the bowstring, using three Dragon Force. As he slowly pulled the bowstring back, the limbs of the bow creaked. Now, he could vaguely feel the limits of the Soul Slayer Bow.

The might of the Soul Slayer Bow increased with the amount of Vital Qi. However, it was, after all, an ordinary item; there would be a limit eventually.

However, with fifteen thousand tons of force and the Star Breaker Arrow, Xiao Chen would definitely be able to take down the Medicine God Valley’s Mister Wei in one shot if he caught him off guard.

Seeing Xiao Chen’s stance and intention to kill those two people in one go, Xiao Bai and the other two could not help but hold their breath in rapt attention.

If this shot succeeded, the balance of the battle in the air would collapse.

Mister Wei and Gongsun Hualong were still persisting bitterly in the air, anxiously waiting for Mo Lian’s return.

As the intense battle continued, Gongsun Hualong did his best to knock back the Golden Bone Demonic Soul. However, he vomited a mouthful of blood involuntarily; his complexion paled after that.

Mister Wei quickly activated the Soul Slaying Mirror. A bright light shot out, and flames burned on the Golden Bone Demonic Soul’s body, causing it incredible pain.

Although the flames deterred the Golden Bone Demonic Soul from chasing after Gongsun Hualong, it did not inflict any significant injuries to it. When the flames burned out, it charged over again.

“Mister Wei, I will hold on for another fifteen minutes. If Mo Lian still does not arrive, this old man can only retreat,” Gongsun Hualong said anxiously.

Using the time Mister Wei bought him, he swallowed another Sage Grade Medicinal Pill for healing injuries.

Although Gongsun Hualong used a Sage Grade Medicinal Pill, he had consumed many already, so the effects were significantly weaker.

Mister Wei sweated heavily. The Golden Bone Demonic Soul was much harder to deal with than he had expected. The other people he brought with him had all died within moments.

Now, only Gongsun Hualong and himself remained. If not for the Soul Slaying Mirror in his hand, he would have died several times already.

Hearing that Gongsun Hualong intended to retreat, Mister Wei said quickly, “Don’t be in such a rush. We already injured this Golden Bone Demonic Soul. Hold on just a little longer. This will be over when Mo Lian arrives.”

Seeing the flames on the Golden Bone Demonic Soul slowly fade away, Gongsun Hualong snorted coldly and said, “You can continue playing with the Golden Bone Demonic Soul yourself. This old man does not have enough lives to continue this. After fifteen more minutes, this old man will leave.”

Mister Wei felt conflicted. Should he raise the reward again? Suddenly, his heart thumped loudly, and he turned his head to look.

“Boom!”

Before Mister Wei could clearly see what it was, blood leaked out from between his lips. He discovered a bloody bowl-sized hole in his chest, and his lifeforce slowly faded away.

The protective inner vest that Mister Wei spent a large sum of money to buy had been no help at all.

The situation changed so suddenly, flabbergasting Gongsun Hualong, that his eyelids twitched and his mind blanked out for a moment.

By the time he recovered his wits, the flames on the Golden Bone Demonic Soul had vanished. It brandished its sickle and struck with lightning speed, illuminating the sky as it did so.

Gongsun Hualong’s expression changed drastically. He blocked hastily, and the spear in his hand snapped. A golden light descended, and the Battle Armor on his chest split in two and fell away from his body.

He felt Death Qi moving about his body. His body was nearly chopped in half. He vomited blood and immediately tried to flee.

However, just as Gongsun Hualong was turning around, he heard the roars of ten heavenly dragons coming from behind. Rain poured and the sky changed colors. It was like Xiao Chen planned everything.

Right after the Golden Bone Demonic Soul injured Gongsun Hualong, Xiao Chen used ten Dragon Force and struck Gongsun Hualong’s chest mercilessly.

“Crunch...! Crunch...!” The sound of Gongsun Hualong’s ribs breaking filled the air. He did not even get to see who attacked him before a bloody hole appeared in his chest. Then, he fell towards the ground like a cannonball.

“It is our turn.”

Kong Yuan smiled gently. Then, twelve holy peacock feathers opened up in the light behind his back. Together with Yuan Xu, he headed for the already severely injured Gongsun Hualong.

On the other hand, Xiao Bai pushed off with her feet and landed on the mound beside the Icy Snow Flame.

After sending Gongsun Hualong flying with one punch, Xiao Chen would have to face the horrifying Golden Bone Demonic Soul alone.

This Golden Bone Demonic Soul was something that Gongsun Hualong and Mister Wei could do nothing to even after working together and had forced them to retreat several times.
