Chapter 72

The Fire麟Beast? Ye Xiwén shook his head, who would sincerely come to help the Cáo family!

Almost everyone was there for the Earth Crimson Fire Lotus; without the benefits of the Earth Crimson Fire Lotus, no one would be willing to come!

Since he had to engage in a fierce battle with Chén Tiěshǒu, Wú Shàoyáng could only temporarily put aside the Earth Crimson Fire Lotus.

"Seize the Fire Lotus!"

"Kill!"

Seeing Wú Shàoyáng and Chén Tiěshǒu engage in a fierce battle, the other martial artists immediately erupted, their greed for the Earth Crimson Fire Lotus bursting forth.

The slaughter and carnage began, and many people died in a single encounter!

The greed of human nature was evident at this moment!

Many people also died because the lava pool's passage was too narrow, and they were pushed into the lava.

Ye Xiwén and Dài Xiǎohuā did not rush over in a hurry. To them, these people were just a mob, not worth worrying about. The only ones who could be considered opponents were Chén Tiěshǒu and Wú Shàoyáng, who were already engaged in a fierce battle.

Of course, there was also Cáo Jīnbāo from Cáo Family Manor, whom Ye Xiwén would not forget. He was also a Xiantian expert.

Suddenly, Ye Xiwén realized that Cáo Jīnbāo, who should have been in the middle of the group, was gone. This discovery suddenly made him tense and surprised.

"Cáo Jīnbāo is gone!" Ye Xiwén quickly told Dài Xiǎohuā.

"What? He couldn't have been killed by the martial artists just now!" Dài Xiǎohuā said.

"No, it seems we haven't seen anyone from the Cáo family since just now!" Ye Xiwén said.

Hearing this, Dài Xiǎohuā immediately realized that indeed, no one from the Cáo family had appeared since just now.

"There's something wrong!" Dài Xiǎohuā frowned, the surrounding shouts of battle not affecting his judgment.

Chaos, complete chaos!

The crowd had already surged to the other side, leaving only Ye Xiwén and Dài Xiǎohuā on this side.

Ye Xiwén saw someone rush over to try to seize the Earth Crimson Fire Lotus but was shot to death by a barrage of hidden weapons.

At this moment, whoever rushed over would die.

However, it didn't take long for everyone to rush over, all vying to get there first.

While Ye Xiwén was considering, suddenly, the lava began to boil, and a huge black shadow leaped out of the lava, pouncing and killing several martial artists who couldn't dodge in time.

It was the Fire麟Beast!

Everyone was stunned by the sudden appearance of the Fire麟Beast.

"I'll take care of it!" Dài Xiǎohuā shouted, his figure flying over, "Hundred Steps Divine Fist!"

A powerful punch was unleashed, the force shooting out.

"Boom!" The force of the punch hit the Fire麟Beast, but only made its massive body move slightly.

Ye Xiwén also leaped over the lava pool, a knife in hand, the blade's light shaking the sky as he fiercely slashed out.

The Fire麟Beast let out a惨叫, its scales shattered.

The Fire麟Beast did not linger but pounced toward the Earth Crimson Fire Lotus, trying to swallow it whole.

"Beast!" Wú Shàoyáng shouted, his long sword creating a thick and long sword aura that instantly pierced in front of the Fire麟Beast.

Chén Tiěshǒu, no longer concerned with Wú Shàoyáng, also unleashed a powerful punch, the air crackling with the force. The powerful Chén Tiěshǒu directly made the Fire麟Beast cry out and roll to the side.

However, the Fire麟Beast did not give up. It rolled to the side of the Earth Crimson Fire Lotus and bit off a large portion of it.

"Beast!" Everyone was enraged, seeing the Fire麟Beast eat most of the Earth Crimson Fire Lotus.

The Fire麟Beast let out a long roar and charged at the group of Xiantian martial artists, causing heavy casualties among them almost instantly.

"Kill, hahaha, kill them all!" At this moment, a shout of battle came from the distant passage, and the voice was very familiar to Ye Xiwén. It was Cáo Jīnbāo, the head of Cáo Family Manor.

In no time, the people of Cáo Family Manor had already charged in, led by Cáo Jīnbāo. Behind Cáo Jīnbāo were two Xiantian experts: a middle-aged martial artist, slightly younger than Cáo Jīnbāo, and a withered old man.

Ye Xiwén recognized the two. Previously, at Cáo Family Manor, someone had introduced them as the current powerhouses of the manor. The middle-aged man was Cáo Jīnbāo's younger brother, Cáo Jīnshuǐ, and the old man was an elder of Cáo Family Manor named Cáo Xīng. He didn't expect them to be Xiantian-level experts. Cáo Family Manor, a small manor, was unexpectedly hiding such powerful figures.

"What do you mean, Cáo Family Manor?" Chén Tiěshǒu asked.

"Hahaha, of course, to kill all of you. Today, you must all die!" A martial artist from Cáo Family Manor laughed and said.

"Do you dare to set a trap, not fearing our army's encirclement and annihilation?" Chén Tiěshǒu said coldly.

"Do you think you can escape? You are just the first wave. After attracting all the nearby Xiantian experts and killing them, Cáo Family Manor will be the dominant force in the area!" The martial artist said with a sinister smile, "And who will see that it was us who did it? Everyone knows that you all died in the mouth of the Fire麟Beast!"

"So, this Fire麟Beast..." Dài Xiǎohuā's face turned very ugly.

"Exactly, let you die knowing. We went through a lot of trouble to subdue this beast!" The martial artist laughed and said.

Ye Xiwén immediately understood. This way, everything could be explained. Why Cáo Jīnbāo's aura was unstable, it was probably because he was injured while subduing the Fire麟Beast.

In other words, the true targets of Cáo Family Manor should be the experts from Shàoyáng Sect and Tiānhuì City, while he and Dài Xiǎohuā were just collateral damage!

"Too much talk!" Cáo Jīnshuǐ growled, "Kill them all! When Cáo Family Manor becomes the dominant force in the area, you won't lack for good food and drink!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The people of Cáo Family Manor shouted, and those who had been invited by Cáo Family also had ugly faces. But at this moment, it was a matter of life and death, and they had no time to think. They immediately joined the battle with Cáo Family.

Ye Xiwén's figure moved, and he bent down to grab the root of the Earth Crimson Fire Lotus. Although the main part had been eaten by the Fire麟Beast, even just the root was very rare.

However, before Ye Xiwén could think more, a huge black shadow leaped over and fiercely collided with him, sending him flying.

"Plunk!" Ye Xiwén's entire body fell into the lava.
