Chapter 458: Old brothers, today's enemies

Xi Niuhe Zhou, Cui Yun Mountain.

The void cracked, and Su Chen, the Flood Dragon Niu Mowang, and the Lion Shi Tuo Wang walked out from the spatial passage.

Mountains rose and fell ahead, formation flags stood like a forest outside the Banana Cave, and demon clouds pressed on the mountain top; the noisy cave mansion of the past lacked the clamor of wine and meat, and now it was filled with murderous intent.

The mountain-guarding small demons were all armored and armed, bows and crossbows strung.

Seeing the Flood Dragon Niu Mowang and the Lion Shi Tuo Wang, those small demons were startled first, then hurriedly cleared the way.

"Greetings to the two Great Sages!"

The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang frowned: "Where is Big Brother?"

That mountain-guarding small demon said: "The Great King is seriously injured and is in the cave."

Hearing this, the three hurried toward the cave mansion.

Just as they entered the cave mansion, Su Chen smelled a bloody scent, and a strange demon aura.

That demon aura was manic, vicious, carrying the devouring Dao rhyme of the North Sea lineage, yet mixed with soldier evil; Su Chen did not stop his steps, his gaze falling toward the depths of the cave mansion.

In the inner cave, the Lady Lady Tie Shan Princess guarded the bedside.

The Rakshasa woman, who was strong-willed in the past, now had messy hair and red, swollen eyes, lacking the sharpness of the past.

On the bed, the Bull Niu Mowang leaned against the head of the bed, with a penetrating wound on his chest.

The wound went straight into the lungs from below the left shoulder, flesh and blood rolled, and black demon aura entangled the wound, gnawing at his vitality.

The Bull Niu Mowang's demon body was strong; logically, such an external wound should have healed long ago, but that strand of evil aura was firmly nailed into his body, making his injury difficult to heal.

Seeing Su Chen enter, the Lady Lady Tie Shan Princess was startled for a moment, then greeted him.

"Brother Su Chen, you finally arrived."

She only said one sentence, and her voice became hoarse.

The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang stepped forward quickly: "Big Brother, who injured you?"

The Bull Niu Mowang looked at the few, wanting to laugh, but it affected his injury, and he coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

"I was careless." He said with difficulty.

Su Chen walked to his side, first looking at the wound, then looking at the Lady Lady Tie Shan Princess.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry for now. Let's talk about the Red Boy matter first."

The Lady Lady Tie Shan Princess took a breath, pulling herself together.

"Red Boy has been cultivating at the Flaming Mountain for these years. He obtained the fire seed of the Six Ding Divine Fire that you gave him back then, and his cultivation progressed very quickly; he already entered the Heavenly Immortal realm a few days ago."

"But a few days ago, the demon general beside him escaped back. He was covered in blood, with only half a life left. He said a terrifying great demon came to the Flaming Mountain and abducted Red Boy."

The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang asked: "Did he leave a name?"

"He left one." The Bull Niu Mowang interjected, raging fire in his eyes, "He specifically named me to go and redeem the person myself."

"I went, and the one waiting for me there was the Peng Niu Mowang."

Hearing this, the Flood Dragon Niu Mowang was stunned for a moment, unable to respond for a long time.

The Lion Shi Tuo Wang cursed angrily: "Has the Peng Niu Mowang gone crazy? Red Boy is also his nephew; how dare he do such a thing?"

The Bull Niu Mowang smiled bitterly.

"I wanted to ask him that too."

The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang's expression turned ugly to the extreme.

Back then, the Seven Great Sages swore brotherhood; although they later learned that the Peng Niu Mowang had joined Kun Peng's sect, they drifted apart, but the brotherhood name still existed; he didn't expect that he would act against Red Boy.

"Did he admit it personally?" The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang asked.

The Bull Niu Mowang nodded.

"He asked me to pass a message to Brother Su Chen, saying that as long as Su Chen goes to the Flaming Mountain, he will release Red Boy."

Hearing this, the Lion Shi Tuo Wang cursed ugly words: "This beast, acting as a dog for that old thief Kun Peng!"

Su Chen's expression did not change upon hearing this; this was indeed Kun Peng's style.

The Bull Niu Mowang continued: "I fought with him on the spot. He is now a peak Tai Yi Jin Xian and has also mastered divine abilities, with extremely fast speed, and his magic power has the intent of North Sea devouring heaven."

The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang frowned: "Peak Tai Yi Jin Xian?"

Their cultivation was about the same back then; he didn't expect the Peng Niu Mowang to walk so fast after joining Kun Peng.

The Bull Niu Mowang gritted his teeth: "In terms of cultivation alone, he is on par with me; if we truly fight, I might not lose to him."

"But he has a spear in his hand."

Speaking of that spear, the black energy at the Bull Niu Mowang's chest wound surged, causing the veins on his forehead to jump.

"That spear has heavy evil energy, and demon texts are carved on the spear body; I don't know how much demon blood it has swallowed. My protective divine ability was directly broken by it, and the second shot pierced my chest."

The Lady Lady Tie Shan Princess said on the side: "After the old bull escaped back, that evil energy remained in his body. I used magic power to help him heal, but I couldn't disperse that strand of evil energy, only able to hang on to his injury."

Su Chen looked down at the Bull Niu Mowang's wound.

That evil energy was indeed tricky, not ordinary soldier evil energy, but evil energy of a fierce weapon refined by someone.

The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang was somewhat strange: "If the Peng Niu Mowang had such a fierce weapon, why didn't he kill Big Brother?"

Although this was unpleasant, it was indeed somewhat strange.

The Bull Niu Mowang didn't mind, saying: "When I retreated in defeat, he could have caught up; with his speed, plus that spear, I couldn't have escaped, but he didn't chase me; I think he specifically let me come back to pass the message to Brother Su Chen."

The Bull Niu Mowang said, looking at Su Chen.

The Lady Lady Tie Shan Princess could no longer hold back, sobbing: "Brother Su Chen, sister-in-law knows this matter is dangerous, but Red Boy is still young; if he truly falls into Kun Peng's hands..."

"Sister-in-law." Su Chen interrupted her, his tone calm, "Rest assured, Red Boy will be fine."

The Lady Lady Tie Shan Princess was startled upon hearing this, looking at him.

Su Chen walked to the Bull Niu Mowang, reaching out to press on his chest wound.

"Heal the injury first."

The Bull Niu Mowang just wanted to speak, but Su Chen's palm already had Hunyuan magic power pouring in.

Yin and Yang energy intertwined, the five elements circulated, and after the Hunyuan magic power entered the body, there was no agitation, instead spreading along the Bull Niu Mowang's meridians, trapping that strand of black evil energy near the wound.

That evil energy sensed the crisis, like a living thing, drilling toward the lungs.

Su Chen pressed his palm, the Hunyuan magic power transforming into a Yin-Yang millstone, directly dragging the evil energy back to the wound; the black energy rolled, emitting a sharp whistling sound, wanting to rush out of the Bull Niu Mowang's body.

Su Chen closed his five fingers.

"Shatter."

As the word fell, that strand of evil energy that had tortured the Bull Niu Mowang for several days was ground into nothingness on the spot.

The Bull Niu Mowang groaned, then gasped for breath; without the obstruction of the evil energy, the flesh and blood on his chest began to heal, and after a moment, it scabbed and healed.

"Thank you." The Bull Niu Mowang raised his hand to press on his chest, exhaling a long breath of turbid air.

"Brother, your cultivation..."

Su Chen withdrew his hand.

"I have gained something over these years."

The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang sighed: "Not seeing you for many years, Brother Su Chen has already walked too far in front of us."

The Bull Niu Mowang looked at Su Chen, his eyes complex, but soon, he put away these thoughts.

Cultivation level was a later matter; saving his son was the top priority now.

"Brother, Red Boy really won't have an accident?"

"At least before I show up, he won't. Peng Niu Mowang captured Red Boy, not to kill, but to force me to leave Flower Fruit Mountain."

The Bull Niu Mowang was stunned, not understanding the meaning.

Su Chen did not hide it, briefly telling the story of the Star Fall Abyss in the outer realms.

Hearing that Su Chen actually injured Kun Peng and severed his path to Sainthood, the Bull Niu Mowang was silent for a long time.

He thought his cultivation progress over these years was not slow, peak Tai Yi Jin Xian, sitting in Cui Yun Mountain, also considered a powerhouse in the Three Realms.

But Su Chen was already wrestling with ancient giants like Kun Peng in the outer realms.

If this matter were told by others, the Bull Niu Mowang would have taken it as drunken nonsense, but the person speaking was Su Chen, and Kun Peng's revenge was already before his eyes, so he couldn't help but believe it.

Su Chen continued: "He didn't dare to enter Flower Fruit Mountain, so he set the trap in Xi Niuhe Zhou. Red Boy is the bait, and Bull Brother is also the bait. It was just to get the message to my ears, luring me out of Flower Fruit Mountain."

Hearing this, the Bull Niu Mowang slammed the bed.

"So he deliberately spared my life."

"Correct." Su Chen looked at the Bull Niu Mowang, "So Bull Brother, rest assured, Kun Peng truly wants to kill me. Red Boy is alive, so he has value. As long as I don't arrive, he won't let the Peng Niu Mowang act."

Hearing this, the Bull Niu Mowang's chest heaved, his eyes full of raging fire.

"Brother Su Chen, then tell me what to do, I, old bull, will listen to you."

Su Chen looked at the crowd and said: "Let's play along."

The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang said: "Go to the Flaming Mountain?"

"Correct." Su Chen nodded, looking at the Bull Niu Mowang.

"Bull Brother, you release the news to the outside, saying that you are hanging by
