That night, thirty miles away from the south gate of the city—

The location of Xiangcheng is roughly located in the middle of the East Pole Domain, and it can go to almost any place in the East Pole Domain in all directions, and of course Xuanyang Gate is no longer a problem. And to get from Xiangcheng to Xuanyang Gate, where it is located in Candle Yan Mountain, although the actual distance is not long, it still needs to cross a huge primeval forest. A black figure galloped quickly in this primeval forest, and finally stopped about a few dozen meters away from the road, then took three steps and made two steps, and in a few clicks climbed a towering tree in front of him, lying sideways on the thick branches, from which he could clearly see the situation on the road.

"Whew—I'm so tired, it's been a long time since I've run so fast...... But it's okay, with their speed, they shouldn't have arrived here yet......" Ling Xiaozhi said to himself while panting, and after saying this, a battle aura surrounded his body, attached to the black robe on his body, and the black robe immediately emitted a circle of magical light, enveloping his entire body and aura. Ling Xiaozhi took out a black jade box from his storage ring, and the contents inside were the black dragon scales he had purchased at the auction, but after thinking about it for a while, Ling Xiaozhi still didn't choose to open it.

It was still sunny during the day, but at night, a large cloud almost covered the entire night sky, and the whole sky was filled with an oppressive atmosphere. At this moment, a rickety light appeared on the narrow road below, Ling Xiaozhi fixed his eyes on it, the bright red light as bright as a flame came from a carriage that looked very luxurious, and the flame symbol on the canopy was extremely obvious, it was the vehicle of Xuanyang Gate. Seeing that the carriage was getting closer and closer to himself, Ling Xiaozhi couldn't help but hold his breath, put the black jade box in his hand back into the storage ring, and made a posture that he was about to rush out at any moment.

That is, just as Ling Xiaozhi was about to leave, he suddenly felt more than a dozen powerful battle qi fluctuations suddenly appear in the surrounding woods, and without exception, they all blasted towards the carriage in the middle of the road, and in an instant, with the scream of the demonic beast pulling the carriage, the carriage that originally looked extremely luxurious actually exploded into pieces in an instant. However, at the moment when the carriage exploded, the three figures quickly dodged from the carriage, Ling Xiaozhi took a closer look, it was actually two people and a huge ice Jiao, that ice Jiao was obviously Xiao Xi, and the one who was protected by one person and one snake was naturally the one he had seen in the Yuehua Mountains that day, the Xuanyang goddess of Xuanyang Gate, Liaoyun'er.

"I'm not dead...... I still underestimate you, but if you really die, it won't be easy to deal with. ”

Seeing that the people in the car were safe and sound, more than a dozen black-clothed figures appeared on the road, and a middle-aged man led by him said slowly, his words full of disdain. And the figures behind him, all of them released strong battle qi fluctuations, even Ling Xiaozhi, who was dozens of meters away, could feel it clearly!

"Twelve Guards...... In addition, there are actually three Battle Venerables! There is also a person whose cultivation is at least an eighth-rank Battle Venerable...... Cut...... I met my peers......" Ling Xiaozhi continued to restrain his breath and whispered to himself, firstly, he did not expect that there would be people ambushed here like him, and secondly, this group of people with the same purpose as him actually cultivated so powerfully, twelve battle guards, three warrior honorables, there were not many forces that could casually come up with such a lineup, let alone knowing the identity of the other party!

"Bold thief, you dare to intercept and kill my Xuanyangmen people, I really don't want to live!"

The original coachman, that is, the middle-aged man from Xuanyang Gate, protected Liao Yun'er's body, and roared angrily at the group of black-clothed people in front of him, while a high-temperature flame burned all over his body, and the blazing flame condensed hard armor around him, which was the secret method of Xuanyang Gate - Xuanyang Tiangang Method! The blazing and dazzling firelight suddenly pierced the darkness of the night sky, and being able to serve as the personal guard of the dignified Xuanyang Gate Xuanyang Goddess must be superb, but it is still a little powerless in the face of such a huge number of people. Bing Jiao had already recovered his original huge body at this moment, protecting Liao Yun'er in the middle, looking at the dozen or so black-clothed people in front of him with great solemnity, there were five-stage battle guards at the lowest level of cultivation here, and no one of them could deal with.

"Xuanyang Tiangang Method...... It does look a bit powerful, but do you think you can stop so many of us! I'll hold him back, and the rest of the people will hold the little girl behind him, remember to live!" The middle-aged man at the head said with a smile, pulled out an incomparably sharp knife from his waist, his body flashed, and in an instant he rushed to the front of the guard, and the extremely fast knife slashed at the armor condensed by Yan Gang, and the armor was immediately slightly damaged, that is, at this time, the middle-aged guard gathered Yan Gang on the palm of his hand, and slapped it forward, a red palm print that was one person high smashed several tall trees on the side of the road, but it did not hurt the killer at all.

It was at this time that more than a dozen killers who had been behind the middle-aged man before were dispatched at the same time, bypassing the guards one after another, and rushing towards Liaoyun'er behind him. However, where will this guard pass them over? He waved his arms, and a mouthful of blood mist protruded from his mouth at the same time, and a wall of fire suddenly rose from the ground, completely separating him from Liaoyun'er, the temperature of the wall of fire could be said to be extremely terrifying, and it actually directly burned the protective battle qi of a battle guard, and more than a dozen strong people at the level of battle guards were actually powerless against a wall of fire!

"Goddess, hurry up and get out of here, there is protection here!"

The Xuanyangmen guard shouted loudly, and as he spoke, he took out a ring knife from his back, and with a thought, the ring knife that looked extremely sharp also ignited with raging flames, and his whole person was like a terrifying flame god of war! The cultivation of this Xuanyangmen guard was extremely powerful, at least stronger than Cheng Tai and Shen Yi that Ling Xiaozhi met when he was in the Yuehua Mountains, however, he was surrounded by more than a dozen killers around him, but he still looked so thin and powerless. As if he understood the guard's words, Xiao Xi let out a long howl, and without waiting for Liaoyun'er to react, he hunched it on his head and fled towards the depths of the woods.

"What a faithful dog...... If you're not mistaken, this wall of fire should be released only when you condense your essence and blood in the state of Xuanyang Tiangang's method...... No wonder my brethren can't break through, for this fiery wall of fire is tied to your life. But as long as I kill you, this wall of fire will be self-defeating!" Looking at the huge wall of fire that rose to the sky and was more than ten meters high, the blazing breath coming from the wall of fire made him feel a little terrifying, but to use such a powerful move, the price to pay was bound to be heavy. The high-temperature wall of fire used by the force of the essence and blood is almost connected to the user's life, and as long as the guard is killed, the wall of fire can be easily broken through. In the eyes of the man in black, it was not a wise choice to use such a trick with such a great deal of effort.

"It's not certain who kills whom! Look at the move, the madness is slashed!"

At this moment, deep in the woods—

"Xiaoxi, what are you doing...... Stop, those people are so powerful, Mr. Coachman can't beat their ......" Liao Yun'er said anxiously as she grabbed Bingjiao Xiaoxi's horns hard, trying to keep her balance on its head. Bingjiao let out a few low sounds, but it didn't seem to slow down in the slightest, and its huge body kept moving forward in the dense woods, with no fixed direction or fixed goal, like a lost dog fleeing frantically.

It was at this time that Bing Jiao seemed to have noticed something, and his huge body suddenly stopped, this stop didn't matter, but it made Liaoyun'er, who was originally standing on Bingjiao's head, lose his balance all of a sudden, fell from his high head, and was about to fall to the ground, but it seemed to have fallen into a powerful and warm embrace, Liaoyun'er, who had closed his eyes because of fear, opened his eyes, but saw a face that he didn't expect-

"Brother Ling?"
