Chapter 160

On the battlefield, Tian Xiong returned to his human form and stood side by side with Huangfu Cheng and the three.

The aura of the four Grandmaster-level powerhouses merged into one, completely suppressing the Jiang family members and the group of murderers opposite them.

Jiang Weiwo looked at Tian Xiong, his eyes filled with deep disbelief.

"How can you still be alive!?"

Tian Xiong sneered, his killing intent erupting: "Didn't expect that, did you? Not only am I not dead, but I've also broken through to the 8th Order."

Dai Jiangshan on the side asked in a deep voice: "Junior Brother, did the Jiang family also participate in the matter of your serious injury?"

"Yes, after I chased and killed the Silver Flood Dragon to the Red Pine Forest, I ended up in an ambush by the Jiang family and Zhao Qian. If it weren't for my Seal Demon Infinite Battle Technique breaking through at the last minute, I might not have even had the chance to escape."

"It seems today we are destined to fight the Jiang family to the death." Dai Jiangshan felt anger rise in his heart after hearing this.

Huangfu Cheng hurriedly used mental transmission: "Jiangshan, the most important thing today is to rescue Yang Chuchu; we cannot delay here for too long, let's put the matter of dealing with the Jiang family aside for now."

"Alright!" Dai Jiangshan knew the priorities and nodded decisively.

Huangfu Cheng looked at Jiang Weiwo and said coldly: "Patriarch Jiang, do you still want to continue fighting?"

Jiang Weiwo's expression was extremely ugly; Tian Xiong's appearance had completely broken the balance of victory. If they continued to fight, the only ones to fail would be their side.

But this group of people did not retreat immediately; instead, they conspired with each other through mental transmission before leaving.

"Those guys from the Jiang family are up to no good." Dai Jiangshan snorted coldly.

"We can't worry about that now, let's go save Yang Chuchu first!" Huangfu Cheng replied in a deep voice.

Ten minutes later, Chen Fan and his group of six arrived in front of Fengming Mountain.

The mountain body that had been destroyed here had already been repaired by Earth-type ability users, and the cave entrance had been set up with illusions once again.

The group stopped outside the cave entrance without entering immediately.

Huangfu Cheng asked Chen Fan: "When will that Quasi-Martial Saint arrive?"

"Hard to say!" Chen Fan shook his head: "She didn't give an exact time."

"We can't wait!" Huangfu Cheng said in a deep voice: "Zhang Kun, you are responsible for protecting Chen Fan; the others will come with me to meet that Snake Venerable."

"Alright!" The group responded one after another.

The next moment, Huangfu Cheng let out a low shout, and his mental power spread out; the mountain body in front of the group seemed to be forcibly pried open by an invisible giant hand.

This movement instantly alerted the group of Beast Worship Cult members in the underground space.

"Which fool is looking for trouble with my Beast Worship Cult again!"

In the underground space, a Seventh-Order Beast Worship Cult member killed his way out with a blade.

However, when he felt the aura of the four figures standing in front of him, his expression changed drastically, and he turned around to flee back into the cave.

However, the next moment, a giant hand formed by mental power descended from the sky and directly patted him into meat paste.

"Follow me and kill!" Huangfu Cheng snorted coldly and took a step forward, as if shrinking the earth into an inch; the next moment, his figure had already appeared in the underground space.

Tian Xiong and the other two followed closely behind!

The aura of the four swept across the entire underground space, making the group of Beast Worship Cult members tremble with fear.

They were like tigers entering a flock of sheep; wherever they passed, all Beast Worship Cult members vomited blood and flew backward.

"They are the Grandmasters from the National Martial Arts University, run, don't get close to them!"

This underground space was in complete chaos.

Huangfu Cheng and the four pushed their way through, and soon arrived at the end of this underground space, seeing that huge altar.

At this time, the blood exchange ritual had already reached its final stages. Yang Chuchu's entire body was burning with Phoenix Divine Flame, and both her body and appearance had changed.

Her body had grown quite a bit taller, and there was an extra golden pattern on her forehead, about an inch long, resembling a miniature golden Phoenix.

It was precisely because of the existence of this golden pattern that Yang Chuchu's temperament had changed, and her originally pure face had become somewhat bewitching.

Huangfu Cheng's expression was extremely ugly; the significant increase in strength was not a good thing for Yang Chuchu. The beastliness and wildness contained in the Phoenix blood would make her completely lose herself, and from then on, she would become bloodthirsty, irritable, and fail to recognize her own kin.

In other words, Yang Chuchu's temperament would change drastically from now on! She would no longer be herself.

"Save her!" Huangfu Cheng could no longer care about anything else.

His mental power transformed into a giant hand and swiped toward Yang Chuchu on the altar.

However, how could Snake Venerable on the side let him have his way? The blood-colored runes on the altar emitted a dazzling light, easily blocking Huangfu Cheng's mental power.

"An array? The methods of an Array Pattern Master?!" Huangfu Cheng was surprised.

An Array Pattern Master is an extremely rare ability; it is said that they can master the power of the five elements, and can use mountains and rivers as a canvas, and the essence blood of strange beasts as ink, to outline arrays containing certain powers.

"Don't waste your effort; the four of you alone cannot save her."

Snake Venerable sat cross-legged beside the altar, controlling the operation of the blood exchange ritual, letting out bursts of strange laughter from under his snake-head mask.

"Being able to witness the birth of my sect's Saintess can be considered your honor!"

Huangfu Cheng's expression was ugly; he called out to the three behind him: "An array has been set up on the altar, and now the control of the array is in the hands of Snake Venerable. If we want to save Yang Chuchu, I'm afraid we have to take down Snake Venerable first!"

"Then let's go, what are we afraid of!" Tian Xiong snorted coldly, instantly transforming into a Swallowing Heaven Demon Bear, and threw a punch at Snake Venerable.

Snake Venerable was presiding over the ritual and could not get up, but he simply extended a palm and easily blocked Tian Xiong's heaven-shaking punch.

"You've only just broken through to the Eighth-Order, you are not qualified to provoke this seat!"

The next moment, he changed his palm into a fist, and the 15-meter-tall figure of the Swallowing Heaven Demon Bear was instantly sent flying backward.

"Attack together! Even if we can't take him down, we must stop him from operating the blood exchange ritual!" Huangfu Cheng shouted, and attacked together with Gongsun Lieguang and Dai Jiangshan.

Snake Venerable let out bursts of strange laughter, extremely disdainful.

"Just by relying on you, you are worthy of stopping me?"

"Do you know what it means to be a Ghost Envoy? That means even ghosts and gods can be dispatched!"

"In my name, I grant you life!" He shouted, pointed a finger, and the giant rocks on the cave wall behind him actually came to life, instantly transforming into rock demons over ten meters tall.

The aura of these rock demons was extremely terrifying; they had all reached the 8th Order!

"If you want to attack me, pass this hurdle first!" Snake Venerable sneered and placed his hands back on the altar.

These rock demons were extremely powerful; they did not fear death, did not know pain, and were extremely fierce when fighting.

But fortunately, the strength of Huangfu Cheng and the four was equally powerful, and for a time, the two sides were evenly matched!

"Tsk tsk tsk, the four of you are not bad; it actually makes me feel a sense of cherishing talent. If you are willing to join my Beast Worship Cult, I can spare your lives in a while." Snake Venerable said while operating the ritual.

"Bullshit!" Tian Xiong roared in anger: "Your Beast Worship Cult is devoid of conscience; even if I die here, it is absolutely impossible for me to be in the same boat as you!"

"Junior Brother Tian is right!" The group echoed one after another.

"You have quite a backbone." Snake Venerable let out a strange laugh: "In ten more minutes, the blood exchange ritual will be completed. At that time, I will kill you first, and then go to the National Martial Arts University to have a good time killing!"

"Hahaha!" This underground space was filled with Snake Venerable's manic laughter.

Chen Fan and Zhang Kun hid in the distance, their faces anxious.

Zhang Kun frowned and said: "If that senior doesn't come soon, I'm afraid it will all be too late!"

However, just as he finished speaking, a loud boom came, resounding through the sky.

A huge opening was broken in the mountain, and terrifying heat waves of fire swept through the entire underground space!

A woman walked out from the flames.

She was wearing silver battle armor, her long silver hair dancing behind her, and she was holding a Huntian Battle Halberd over two meters long in her hand!
