At this moment a sudden change arose again; as cry after cry rang out, the Fire Crows numbered enough to cover the sky and blot out the sun.

Scorching breath melted the surrounding cold Qi in an instant, even the air baked and twisted.

Immediately after, two giant ships followed slowly behind the ten thousand crows.

The first was the Wan Family's Wanbao Ship, closely followed by Wanhui.

Zhu Rong stood at the bow of the Wanbao Ship, Wan Niang and the rest of the Wan Family standing behind him; he merely raised his right hand slightly: "Burn."

As his words fell, the Fire Crow flock dove like a tide, a scorching wave of fire sweeping the entire field.

The Ice Erosion Insects melted the moment they touched the flames, unable to utter even a single miserable scream.

When the cold Qi dispersed, a gigantic Ice Erosion Insect Mother was revealed.

It was clearly the source of the cold wave; its whole body was covered in ice crystals, and when it did not move it looked just like an ice sculpture.

Now, seemingly sensing a threat to its life, it continuously released bone-chilling cold Qi, attempting to seal off the surroundings, even condensing layer upon layer of thick ice walls to block the perimeter.

But the Fire Crows' flames carried the might of spirit fire, and in the blink of an eye they burned through its ice walls, exposing the plump main body inside.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Rong's figure flashed, landing before the Insect Mother; a ball of crimson-gold flame condensed in his palm, and he pressed it directly onto the Insect Mother's head.

No matter how violently it struggled, it was firmly bound by the flame, and in the end could only let out weak whimpers, its massive body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

After not long, the Insect Mother seemed to be controlled by some force; its body grew smaller and smaller, until finally it vanished completely.

The surrounding Ice Erosion Insects, seeing this, instantly fell into chaos.

Either they scattered and fled.

Or they were eaten by the Fire Crows.

In no time at all, the originally dense swarm of insects dissipated completely, leaving only the pervasive smell of char and melted ice water in the air.

On the Wanbao Ship, Wan Niang leaned on the ship's gunwale, watching this scene; her face no longer held the previous panic, instead she could barely conceal her delight.

With this Zhu Rong holding the fort, not only could she stabilize her position in the Wan Family, she might even suppress those branch family members and climb to an even higher position.

Zhao Lie took this scene in with his eyes, revealing a solemn look for the first time: "Ten Thousand Insects Mother Nest?

This person's strength is not inferior to mine; could it be that the Crow Venerable truly lived a second life!"

Su Jinli, Yu Shi, Lu Wu and the others exchanged glances; faced with this kind of scene, they were at a loss for a moment, even a bit shocked and uncertain.

First Zhao Lie treated them as calamity cultivators and wanted to kill them all together.

Then a "Crow Venerable" popped out and helped wipe out the insect swarm.

The development of events — how could it become more and more incomprehensible.

The crisis was resolved just like that, yet no one present breathed a sigh of relief.

Every single one of them had eyes full of vigilance, not daring to be the least bit careless.

Zhao Lie is strong.

The Crow Venerable is also strong.

Although Su Jinli and the others are not inferior, they are also nervous inside.

At this time, Zhu Rong, having dealt with the insects, personally led Wan Niang and the others; at a seemingly slow but actually very fast speed, they arrived before Broken Moon Flowing Frost before long.

The three parties gathered; no one spoke.

Seeing everyone unable to let go of this face, Xu Zhangqing took the initiative to rise into the air: "On behalf of the Dongting Immortal Sect, I thank the Crow Venerable for lending a hand in assistance!"

Wan Niang's expression changed slightly: "A disciple of the Dongting Immortal Sect?!"

Zhu Rong stood with hands behind his back, expressionless: "A trivial effort; moreover, this time it wasn't even aimed at you."

As these words fell, Zhao Lie's gaze sharpened; although the opponent's strength was great, he himself was equally full of confidence, not the slightest trace of fear.

Su Jinli revealed a gloating emotion for the first time: "Looks like this newly advanced Crow Venerable came specially to find trouble for Zhao Lie; who knows if the two will fight?"

Regarding this, Yu Shi and the others deeply agreed, all preparing to watch the show.

Zhao Lie's attitude made them very displeased, but because everyone was a disciple of an immortal sect, they did not want to tear face.

At this moment, a third party ran out, and moreover a famous top-tier Golden Core from the "No-Management Area" — naturally they were delighted beyond measure.

Zhu Rong looked down from above indifferently at Zhao Lie below: "This time, the Wan Family was indeed in the wrong; we admit it.

But from now on, Wanbao and Wanhui will be personally garrisoned by me; henceforth your Dragon Tiger Immortal Sect people will not be allowed to run rampant."

Hearing this, Zhao Lie immediately drew a crimson-red broken saber, arrogant: "Rampant — so what!"

His words were like ice-tempered thunder; the instant the sound fell, his left hand fiercely pressed toward his waist.

There hung a palm-sized Black Beast Talisman, its surface engraved with ferocious tiger stripes; as his fingertip mana touched it, a ball of black mist instantly exploded.

Roar!!!

From the black mist came a roar that shook eardrums painfully, and a colossal figure burst out.

It was a black tiger nearly five meters in body length, shoulder height over two and a half meters.

Its whole body of black fur was glossy like silk, yet every strand carried killing intent, like it was studded with fine sharp steel needles.

Four fangs protruded, length comparable to short swords, gleaming with cold, chilly light.

Copper-bell-sized tiger eyes swept across; even the Fire Crow flock's cries weakened a few degrees; its claws trod on empty air, unexpectedly stepping out rings of faint black killing intent ripples.

This is Zhao Lie's Symbiosis Spirit Beast, and also a Travel Tool, named "Xuan Sha Black Tiger".

The reason he didn't Summon it just now was mainly to prevent his true Identity from being Discovered.

Now, seeing that he was about to Duel with the other side, he Naturally had to Erupt with his peak state.

Along With the Black Tiger's Appearance, the aura around Zhao Lie's body suddenly Bao Fa.

His three-Meter body straightened even more; the clothes originally wrapped around him shattered, revealing the Xuan Iron Scale Armor Hidden Inside, and the Town Shaman Talismans all Brightened with dark gold light patterns.

The talisman patterns moved Along the armor gaps, intertwining with the sha qi emitted by the Black Tiger, forming a semi-transparent "Dragon-Tiger Phantom".

Dragon-shaped qi coiled on the Broken Blade, tiger-shaped sha qi protected his surroundings; when the two breaths merged, even the surrounding air Became heavy, and Zhang Su and the others on the Broken Moon Flowing Frost couldn't help but Retreat half a step, only feeling as if a Giant Stone was Suppressing their chests.

The Severing Heaven Art operated; at the Instant of mana Consumption, the Red Broken Blade held in his Right Hand instantly overflowed with a zhang-long Red light; though Only Left half a piece, it carried the Astonishing might of slashing heaven and splitting earth.

This is the Longhu Immortal Sect Core Cultivation Method he Cultivated to Perfection, combined with Golden Core Perfection mana; ordinary Top Golden Core cultivators can't even Receive a single move.

The Xuan Sha Black Tiger also cooperated by stepping forward one step; sha qi Condensed into a Substantial tiger Claw print, and when it struck toward the Void, it actually Twisted the heat waves fanned by the Fire Crows behind Zhu Rong.

Su Jinli Zhua Jin the Red Umbrella, her eyes full of Solemnity: "This aura... worthy of being the Longhu Immortal Sect's second-Ranked Core Disciple!"

Man like Dragon, Tiger cultivate together.

Drawing on Dragon-Tiger power, No Wonder he could become a Top-tier Golden Core.

Yu Shi nodded, yet didn't Dare speak.

The rest of the people, the schadenfreude on their faces all Retracted.

At this moment, Zhao Lie had already Thoroughly locked onto Zhu Rong; even they, these onlookers, could feel that overbearing aura of "if war then war".

However, Zhu Rong still stood at the Wanbao Ship's bow, hands behind his back.

When the Black Tiger's sha qi was about to Contact the Fire Crow Clan, the surrounding Temperature suddenly rose.

The space just Twisted by sha qi actually rippled with fire-Red Ripples.

The flames on every Fire Crow's wings Brightened a few degrees; countless Thin fire threads floated toward the Void, Kan Si scattered, yet Quietly wove into a fire net, just happening to Block the Black Tiger's sha qi.

Facing the aggressive Zhao Lie, Zhu Rong neither released a divine ability nor used mana, merely calmly looked at him once.

Just this one look made Zhao Lie's whole body stiffen; the hand pressing on the Broken Blade actually Paused, the saber intent just raised was like being splashed with a basin of cold water, instantly becoming sluggish.

The Xuan Sha Black Tiger seemed to have its strength drawn away; its front claws fiercely halted, the originally Exploded black fur drooped down, the roar in its Throat turned into a suppressed whimper, its tiger eyes timidly looking at Zhu Rong, even losing the courage to step forward another step!
