Chapter 71

"Six Dao Demon Lord, cease your madness!" Just as Gu Fei and the others were about to be hit by the massive demonic hand, which emitted a formidable demonic energy from the sky, a loud shout suddenly came from the distant sky.

The rolling sound waves shook the clouds at the horizon to pieces, causing the earth to tremble and the mountains to shake.

In the nick of time, just as everyone was in despair, thinking they would be crushed by the demonic hand, a streak of fire like a bolt of lightning shot from the east, then circled around the huge demonic hand, tearing it apart. The demonic energy surged and exploded, enveloping the sky, turning the world as dark as night, and also enveloping Dan Chenzi, Gu Fei, and the others below.

The Dao scroll under their feet was instantly surrounded by the exploding demonic energy. The impact of the demonic energy seemed to activate the power of the Dao scroll, which immediately burst into a brilliant golden light. Various runes appeared, forming a protective rune shield around them.

The golden cloud formed by the Dao scroll, under Dan Chenzi's control, moved like a solitary boat in a raging sea, violently tossing and turning, as if it could capsize at any moment.

On the mountaintop, the young man with blood-red hair frowned and turned his head to look towards the eastern sky. He saw a burst of firelight flash at the horizon, then in an instant, it was right in front of him, moving at an astonishing speed.

"Boom!" Flames soared into the sky, like a blazing sun suddenly falling from the heavens. A figure wrapped in a ball of fire quickly appeared in the sky in front of the young man with blood-red hair.

The terrifying heat scorched the surrounding area, and the rolling demonic energy that covered half the sky was forced back by this pure yang force.

In the firelight, a Daoist in a feather robe and star crown stood in the air. The feather robe on his body emitted a golden glow, swirling around him. Faintly, it seemed as if several golden three-legged birds were flying around him.

"Chao Yang Daoist?" The young man with blood-red hair, whose eyes seemed to have no pupils and were pitch black, narrowed his eyes, and beams of dark light shot from the slits.

The newcomer was indeed the Chao Yang Peak Master of the Tai Xuan Sect, Chao Yang Zhenren. It turned out that the high-ranking members of the Tai Xuan Sect, including Xuan Tian Daoist, were still not reassured and had dispatched Chao Yang Zhenren to secretly follow and protect Dan Chenzi, Gu Fei, and the others.

Sure enough, Dan Chenzi and his group encountered the great demon head of the demonic path, Six Dao Demon Lord, in this deep mountain forest within the territory of the Yan Kingdom.

"Boom!" Six Dao Demon Lord soared into the sky, and the mountain peak beneath his feet was instantly crushed. Rocks flew into the air, and dust rose high into the sky. "No one can save the ones I want to kill!"

His mad words echoed through the mountains. The world-shaking demonic power of Six Dao Demon Lord directly unleashed a punch, and the rolling demonic energy instantly transformed into a dragon with bared fangs and claws, rushing out for hundreds of feet, and pouncing towards the golden cloud trapped in the demonic energy.

"Damn it!" Upon seeing this, Chao Yang Daoist's hair stood on end in anger. He shook his magical robe, and nine fiery orbs, like blazing suns, immediately shot out from the robe, causing a massive fire to rise and rush towards Six Dao Demon Lord. At the same time, in front of Chao Yang Daoist, pure yang true fire condensed into a three-legged golden crow, which flew towards the dragon unleashed by Six Dao Demon Lord.

Chao Yang Daoist's feather robe was embroidered with nine golden crows, and golden light surged continuously. Streams of light and brilliance were drawn from the golden feather robe, and the nine golden crows seemed to come to life, as if they were about to burst out of the robe.

Nine massive fireballs, each as large as the sun, exploded around Six Dao Demon Lord. The nine yang true fire burned everything, and the terrifying heat caused the space to distort, creating visible ripples that spread out. Even Six Dao Demon Lord had to retreat.

"Whoosh!" As if teleporting, Six Dao Demon Lord burst out of the sea of fire created by the nine yang true fire explosions. The thick demonic energy around him was dispelled, revealing his indistinct figure.

At this moment, the hundred-foot-long dragon unleashed by Six Dao Demon Lord was about to reach the Dao scroll where Dan Chenzi, Gu Fei, and the others stood, but it was caught up by the giant golden crow conjured by Chao Yang Zhenren and the true fire.

The dragon and the golden crow immediately engaged in a fierce battle, canceling each other out and exploding. The energy storm that erupted swept away the golden cloud formed by the Dao scroll.

The people standing on the golden cloud lost their balance, stumbling and falling, creating a chaotic scene.

Everyone was utterly shocked, even Dan Chenzi, who had reached the Ninth Heaven of Transcendence, had a deathly pale face, standing firmly on the golden cloud, his hands forming Dao seals, desperately controlling the Dao scroll to prevent it from losing control.

No one knew how far they had been swept by the energy storm. They only heard the thunderous roars quickly fading away.

On the golden cloud formed by the Dao scroll, besides Dan Chenzi, the most powerful cultivators were Gu Fei and Li Lingfeng. However, at this moment, the golden cloud was caught in a storm, spinning and tossing, and no one except Dan Chenzi could stand steadily. Everyone was rolling around, looking extremely disheveled.

After a while of rolling and tumbling, Gu Fei suddenly felt a violent jolt. Then, golden light flashed before his eyes, and he found himself falling uncontrollably. Crack, crack, he seemed to have fallen into a forest, hitting various things and breaking many tree branches.

"Be careful, there's a forest below!"

Gu Fei heard Dan Chenzi's voice, followed by a roar from Dan Chenzi, and then a massive wave of magical power spread out, indicating that Dan Chenzi was engaged in a fierce battle.

"Boom!" After passing through a layer of branches, Gu Fei landed on the ground, and the smell of decaying leaves and branches immediately filled his nose.

The ground was soft, covered with a thick layer of decaying leaves and branches, which had accumulated over the years, forming a layer of soft mud several feet thick. When Gu Fei landed on it, his body did not suffer any impact, and he was not injured.

As soon as Gu Fei landed, he immediately sprang up, crouching on the ground, his eyes sharp and piercing, quickly scanning the surroundings.

He saw tall trees, each over ten meters high, with lush branches and leaves. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the tree crowns, creating a dim and speckled light.

Soon, Gu Fei discovered the traces of the others. Li Lingfeng, Zi Yu, Dongfang Chen, and the other nine people had also landed in this forest.

Gu Fei identified the positions of the others, who were not far from him. He could even see a fellow disciple in white standing up not far in front of him.

Clearly, the violent jolt they had just experienced was caused by the golden cloud formed by the Dao scroll colliding with something or being attacked, causing everyone to fall from the cloud.

In the distant sky, two overwhelming auras emitted boundless power, causing the world to change color. These were the powerful auras of Six Dao Demon Lord and Chao Yang Zhenren, who were engaged in a fierce battle. The earth-shaking booms could be heard, and Gu Fei could even feel the ground tremble when the booms reached him.

"Boom!" Outside the forest, a loud explosion suddenly sounded, and a large area of the forest was completely destroyed, with trees turning into debris. Two figures moved rapidly, unleashing terrifying forces, destroying the forest in their path. In front of these two, everything seemed fragile.

Dan Chenzi's battle, which caused the ground to shake, immediately caught Gu Fei's attention. At this moment, several cries of alarm suddenly came from the forest, indicating that the others scattered in the forest were also under attack.

Just as Gu Fei was in a state of shock, a pile of decaying leaves in front of him suddenly exploded without warning. Amidst the flying leaves, a black shadow, like a ghost, shot towards him, and a cold light aimed directly at his throat.

It was too sudden. Before Gu Fei could react, the cold light had already left a faint trail in the air and shot towards his throat.

Gu Fei could already feel the coldness of the light stimulating the skin on his throat, causing a slight pain.
