Chapter 174

This was simply eight lifetimes of bad luck.

"Senior Sister Cloud Retainer, don't be anxious. Don't forget, the Snow Hou King and the Fire Qilin Beast are sworn enemies."

Ningguang shook her head and said softly:

"Now, we can only hope for some external factors."

Everyone couldn't help but worry.

Ningguang’s implication was that the only one who could save them now was the Fire Qilin Beast, who was also one of the Seven Kings.

"Not coming out?"

The Snow Hou swept its gaze downward, and surging power pressed down like a crushing weight.

"Fine, I will destroy this area directly and see how you survive!"

It raised its hand slightly, and the power to destroy the heavens and the earth condensed on the Snow Hou. The entire world seemed to begin to tremble.

But before the Snow Hou could act, a tyrannical aura struck the sky, instantly sweeping away the ice clouds in the sky.

"White-haired dog! How dare you run wild in my territory! Have you been frozen stupid in the Ice Spirit Domain?"

An angry voice rang out, and a middle-aged man in a fire-red robe quietly appeared opposite the Snow Hou.

The opponent looked angry, with two horns on his forehead, and his neck was covered with a dense layer of dark red scales.

Compared to the Snow Hou, the aura of this newly appeared existence was much more overbearing.

The Snow Hou frowned slightly, stopped for a moment, stared at the Fire Qilin Beast opposite, and said coldly:

"Since when did the border of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range become your territory, you scaly beast?"

"Heh! You only know how to use your tongue; you are as useless as your subordinates!"

The Fire Qilin Beast mocked, swept a casual glance downward, and became even more contemptuous.

"Just a few Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation and Qi Refining and Essence Transformation cultivators were able to kill your personal guard? You are becoming more and more useless as you live!"

"White-haired dog, I advise you to end it yourself early to avoid living in this world and embarrassing yourself."

The Snow Hou sneered.

"Sharp-tongued!"

"Before Mo Yixi cut the world apart back then, why didn't I see you dare to bark so wildly?"

"I have no intention of wasting my breath on trash like you."

"Shushan disciples have entered the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm again after several hundred years, and they entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range from your territory!"

"Fire Qilin, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

As soon as the words fell, the Fire Qilin Beast laughed out of extreme anger.

"What are you? You dare to ask me for an explanation?"

"Your personal guard snuck into my territory, and I haven't even made you kneel and apologize to me yet!"

The Snow Hou frowned tightly and said coldly:

"The top priority is to clear out the Shushan disciples. Do you really want to waste your breath with me here?"

"They are just a few Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation and Qi Refining and Essence Transformation cultivators! It won't be too late to catch them after I deal with you!"

As he spoke, strands of purple thunder fire gradually condensed in the Fire Qilin Beast’s eyes.

"Catch them?!"

The Snow Hou was angry.

"Damn thing! You want to swallow the Shushan disciples all by yourself! Aren't you afraid that we will all crusade against you together!"

"Ridiculous! How are you any better? Do you really think I can't see through your intentions?"

The Fire Qilin Beast sneered.

"The Seven Kings Alliance? A bunch of treacherous villains with their own agendas are worthy of forming an alliance with me?"

"After I capture the Shushan disciples and find the exit, you can continue to spend the rest of your lives in this Nine Netherworld!"

"White-haired dog! Die!"

As the words fell, thunder fire filled the sky and roared toward the Snow Hou.

"Good, good, good!"

The Snow Hou laughed out of extreme anger and swung its palm out.

"If it weren't for giving Qing Feng face, you would have already become a ghost under my hand!"

"Today, I will send you to the Yellow Springs!"

The biting cold current and the thunder fire collided, and the entire world seemed to begin to tremble.

The moment the two demons clashed, an energy tide even more terrifying than the three-headed demon bird’s self-destruction erupted.

In an instant, the aftermath tore apart everything visible within a radius of a thousand miles.

Zhongli and the others were shocked. They couldn't care about hiding their aura anymore and decisively joined forces to block this wave of spiritual energy.

"Run!"

Venti urged hurriedly and swept up the others to escape outward quickly.

Zhongli didn't want to continue resisting hard either.

The aftermath of the collision between these two demons was much stronger than the self-destruction of the three-headed demon bird.

They had only resisted for a short while, and his True Essence was flowing away crazily like a floodgate being opened.

The principle of the city gate catching fire and harming the fish in the moat was clear for the first time.

Two high-level cultivators were fighting, and the aftermath almost tore them apart.

This time, Venti was truly risking his life.

The Wine Immortal Art was instantly activated, and he accelerated regardless of everything to carry everyone away.

It wasn't until an hour later that the sound of the collision behind them gradually became faint.

Venti breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment, the intense sense of weakness after the Wine Immortal Art ended surged into his heart.

Venti fell from the high altitude instantly, but fortunately, Zhongli grabbed him with quick eyes and hands.

"Old man... can't run anymore..."

Venti opened his eyes wearily and looked at Zhongli.

"Too tired... can't run."

Zhongli pursed his lips and nodded, his mood complex:

"Rest for a while, it shouldn't reach here."

"Two peak Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivators fighting, it shouldn't end in a short while."

Hearing this, Venti finally nodded with difficulty and fainted.

"Moon Carver, Spirit Gathering Formation."

Zhongli instructed softly. After Moon Carver urgently set up the Spirit Gathering Formation, he put Venti inside.

The circulation of the Zhou Tian Qi operated automatically, and Venti’s complexion improved a lot.

This time, his True Essence was truly depleted.

Zhongli and Alice were not much better off, after all, they were the two who had faced the aftermath head-on.

Immediately, they also sat cross-legged and took pills to start recovering their True Essence.

Not long after entering the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, one of the group was unable to move, and two had exhausted their True Essence.

And these were the three with the strongest combat power.

Ningguang and the others were truly a bit melancholy.

The key point was...

They hadn't even fought a few rounds of a proper battle.

Taking advantage of Zhongli and the others recovering and temporarily unable to move, Ningguang and the others took the time to look back at the battle area.

The sky there had completely become a situation of ice and fire separated into two poles.

It looked as if the sky had been split open.

As they continued to collide, the area just now was also constantly being annihilated.

The mountains that were thousands of meters high were broken and reduced to ashes as soon as they were touched by the attacks of the two demons.

Thinking back to the demonic beasts and fierce beasts that ran slowly that they saw on the road when they were escaping just now.

They all died in the aftermath.

Among them, there were many existences at the peak of Qi Refining and Essence Transformation.

Life in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm was actually so cheap...
