Chapter 302: Brain Problem

Hearing this, several Grand Masters of Great Qian all showed expressions of surprise.

Everyone knew the cultivators of Mount Wutong were extremely arrogant.

Who would have thought that Senior Tang, though a disciple of True Person Qingfeng, was so humble; earlier he said that upon meeting the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor, he could rely on the treasure bestowed by his master to ensure his safety, but now that he had truly encountered it, he claimed he could slay it with one hand.

"You are bragging wildly here; does your master know?"

The Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor stood with arms crossed, not only without anger but actually laughing out loud.

Tang Yuan glanced at his right arm, the chill in his voice growing even more intense, and raised an eyebrow at the Lion Emperor, saying, "Want to try?"

As the words fell, three red lights suddenly shot out from his waist.

They were the size of a thumb, shaped like lotus seeds, yet crystal clear, with flames rising within them.

In the next moment, those lotus seeds drilled into his mouth.

With a crack, he crushed them fiercely.

In an instant, Tang Yuan's hair danced wildly like surging flames, and even his eyes became several degrees more ferocious.

As the remaining two lotus seeds entered his mouth, the skin beneath his snow-white robe suddenly cracked, with liquid like magma gushing from the fissures, making his entire skin appear blood-red.

The aura around him instantly became violent.

The terrifying temperature caused everything within sight to begin charring.

The few Grand Masters of Great Qian closest to him even had to summon their Nascent Souls to resist the overflow of his aura.

Tang Yuan looked indifferently at the Lion Emperor, then a ferocious arc formed at the corner of his lips.

He reached out and beckoned with his fingertips toward the other: "Come on."

"Hiss."

With such an arrogant expression, where was the calm demeanor he had shown earlier in the Demon-Suppressing City?

Xu Wanyun summoned her Nascent Soul, her hand gripping the sword hilt tightly.

For the first time, she truly felt the gap between herself and a true genius.

Just the rolling waves of fire sweeping over made her feel somewhat breathless.

Xu Wanyun instinctively asked Shen Yi, who had a lower realm: "With the support of such a treasure, can he defeat the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor?"

"..."

Shen Yi glanced at her and didn't even bother to answer.

Sure enough, the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor spat slowly: "Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Facing such a powerful aura.

It still stood with arms crossed, showing not the slightest reaction, and its expression even revealed a hint of mockery: "If Your Emperor wanted to play with you using real weapons, why would I waste so much effort, you fool?"

"..."

The smile on Tang Yuan's face slowly froze.

The several Grand Masters nearby were also stunned for a moment, then their faces changed abruptly; the formation that had originally protected Tang Yuan in the center immediately scattered, and they flew off in all directions.

But it was too late.

Several iron chains suddenly shot out from the gap in the fake formation with a clattering sound, wrapping tightly around the legs of several people before coiling up their bodies like giant pythons and yanking them down with a violent jerk!

【33】 Several iron chains suddenly shot out from the gap in the fake formation with a clatter, directly wrapping around the calves of several people; immediately, they climbed up their bodies like giant pythons and yanked them down violently!

"Play slowly; Your Emperor is very patient."

The Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor casually gave an order to those behind.

The withered old man in tattered clothes did not answer; his eyes were cloudy, without anger or resentment, and he numbly raised both palms.

The moment his fingertips twitched, the iron chains seemed to come alive, trembling along with his movements, while thick black fog swallowed the several people.

Tang Yuan roared, the flames becoming several times more intense, colliding with the black fog and emitting a piercing hissing sound.

After swallowing three lotus seeds, his aura was no longer inferior to that of the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor, yet he still fell into a disadvantage.

"How many heavenly treasures and earthly materials must this consume?"

A Qing opened her mouth in surprise; a normal Netherworld Dragon-Suppressing Array could not have this effect, being able to so powerfully suppress a cultivator of the Soul Transformation Realm.

"They occupy the most abundant lands and do not know how to use them... naturally, they are extremely extravagant."

Xu Wanyun's eye twitched: "Should we take the opportunity to leave, or go up to help?"

"The Dragon-Suppressing Array can only suppress, not kill; of course, we must wait until the demons make their move at the end, relying on Tang Yuan's desperate struggle to achieve the benefit of the fisherman."

A Qing, having followed Shen Yi for some time, immediately gave an answer, then turned to look at the young man: "That's right, isn't it, Brother Shen?"

Hearing this.

Shen Yi casually looked at A Qing.

He still remembered that last time they entered the cave abode, this girl would rush out to block the Xiang siblings; where had she learned this now?

He withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "Can you break this formation?"

A Qing was stunned for a moment, then affirmed: "Yes!"

Although she didn't know why things were different this time, Brother Shen must have his own reasons; when walking the world, one indeed cannot be too rigid; one must adapt to changing circumstances.

"I will do my best to protect you."

Shen Yi nodded, speaking concisely.

"Good!"

A Qing waved her hand; several dark stones were held between her fingers, then she shot them fiercely toward several positions!

The entire process was too fast; before Xu Wanyun could even react, she found that they had already been exposed.

What the heck?!

One dares to say it, and the other dares to believe it?

How could two Slain Hunyuan Grand Masters possibly protect a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was extremely weak in front of a ferocious Demon Emperor, even if we count the previous Golden Body True Person of the Soul Transformation Realm, it wouldn't be enough!

Several ordinary-looking stones instantly settled.

In an instant, the ragged old man's expression finally flickered, his voice hoarse: "The Xu family's Formation-Breaking Stone?"

Though named the Formation-Breaking Stone, it does not mean that simply throwing it will break any array.

One must know the array inside and out, locate its hidden core, before it can take effect.

The black mist between the chains froze for an instant.

Tang Yuan finally gained a moment to breathe; now the black mist had engulfed his entire right shoulder, and faintly showed signs of solidifying.

He seized the opportunity and slammed another palm toward the Demon Emperor and the old man.

Thick waves of fire surged over like a tidal wave.

"Roar!"

The Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor finally unclasped its arms, roughly seized the old man, and shot upward a hundred zhang—despite its swift reaction, it still lost a layer of dark golden fur to the heat.

It roared in fury, glaring into the distance.

What met its gaze was a swirling black robe; a handsome young man stood midair, his jet-black hair flowing, his clear eyes calmly watching the scene.

Shen Yi was not merely a sneak attacker.

This was likely the first time he stood before the Demon Emperor in full strength.

It didn't feel as overwhelming as he'd imagined.

"…"

The Golden-Eyed Demon Emperor released the old man and slowly extended its claws.

The young man's calm posture left it uncertain of the situation.

"Comrade, aid me in breaking the array! When I am freed, I swear by my master, True Person Qingfeng, I shall slay this fiend!"

Tang Yuan also noticed the new figure in the distance.

He had previously thought someone was scheming, trailing closely behind—but now realized this person had guessed the trap and had been protecting them all along.

Filled with shame, he shouted urgently.

Several Hunyuan Sect disciples were already wrapped in black mist; hearing the commotion, they frantically struggled, emitting muffled cries.
