Chapter 562: Chapter 322: This Old Demon Is One of a Kind in a Thousand Years, Astounding the Martial World for a Century
Under Duan Yun’s leadership, the Jade Pearl Heroes moved swiftly like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their divine skills to extinguish the fire.
In an instant, bursts of fist power, sword light, sword shadows, and palm wind interwove with the dark golden flames, creating brilliant fireworks that were quite beautiful to behold.
At this moment, the Murong brothers finally completed their "unite" with their beloved Ning Qing.
Previously, he was resentful for twice missing Duan Yun’s "ride," but now he, the Green Saber Young Hero, also had a ride!
Ning Qing’s martial arts were quite erratic; Mingyu Palace’s "Dream Emission Heart Scripture" made her combat power fluctuate depending on how well her dreams were emitted the night before.
But overall, she was quite adept at hand techniques.
Now, the two stuck together, and their saber Qi like spring rain and palm wind like flowing clouds howled, breaking through the encroaching flames with impressive momentum.
"Wait a moment!" Ning Qing suddenly said.
The Murong brother looked anxious and said, "Qing, what’s wrong?"
"I feel like we’re not doing too well this way," Ning Qing said, a bit lacking in confidence.
The Murong brother looked astonished and said, "Why not? Our unity is like gold wind meeting jade dew, far better than anything in the mortal world!"
He was confident and took responsibility for his words.
But the next moment, when he followed Ning Qing’s gaze, he was dumbfounded.
It was because Duan Yun had once again united with Shen Ying, Feng Ling’er, and Ziyu.
Not to mention Old Demon Duan’s issue with women, just the momentum that Duan Yun and these three wings created was beyond comprehension.
Shen Ying, Feng Ling’er, and Ziyu had different teachings. Even though Feng Ling’er and Ziyu both studied swordsmanship, one was as passionate as a peach blossom in full bloom, the other as clean as a bright mirror, with styles vastly different. But Old Demon Duan was absurdly capable of perfectly integrating whatever others could do.
So their combination achieved a more than fourfold effect.
Are you some kind of extraordinary artifact? How can you unite with any woman?
The Murong brother couldn’t help but curse and grumble.
Because he and his beloved Ning Qing, even if they exerted all their effort, couldn’t match the tacit understanding Duan Yun had with any woman.
Humans, most fear comparison!
At this time, Duan Yun stretched his "wings," but it wasn’t enough; two beautiful Dharma Images appeared behind him, as if adding another pair of wings.
In the next moment, he dived downward with the wings.
This time, with him diving down not only were there sword light and sword shadows, but also swirling fist power and palm wind, forcing the roaring sea of flames to retreat, unable to contend.
A cliff was even more thoroughly cut open, with the section smooth as a mirror.
At this rate, he might really create a barrier strip.
It was also then that the Murong brother and Ning Qing suddenly heard the sound of musical instruments.
The music of suona and trumpets getting closer, in this vast sea of flames, didn’t sound like an alarm but rather some joyous music, seeming rather eerie.
Following that, they leapt to a higher place, witnessing a truly bizarre scene.
They saw the villagers of Taoyuan Village wearing big red robes, playing instruments joyfully, running towards the sea of fire, looking like they were going to a wedding.
Duan Yun brought up the heroines and also noticed this, surprised: "What are these guys doing, playing with fire?"
Boom boom boom!
Faced with the terrifying sea of fire, these villagers frantically rushed in. Since there was some distance, it was too late for them to be rescued.
Or rather, anyone wholeheartedly going into the fire was rather hesitant to be rescued.
A group of people rushed into the sea of fire like moths flying to a flame.
No, even moths know pain and struggle when encountering fire.
But these villagers wore expressions of joy and happiness like crazy people, some even danced with tears, as if not being burned by fire, but being lathered by the prettiest girl in the Chushui Pavilion at Wang Chun Tower.
In the blink of an eye, the villagers were burned to death, their burning bodies, moments before death, constantly looking towards the north.
That was the direction where the Golden Tree was located.
As if that burning Golden Tree was the love of their lives, more true and loving than the Murong brothers.
The tree is mad, the fire is mad, the people are mad.
Watching these people get burned to death, Duan Yun also didn’t want to fight the fire anymore, waved his hand, and chose to give up.
The Murong brother watched many beautiful female villagers get burned to death, his tears almost fell down.
Why burn women!
He couldn’t bear seeing beautiful sisters suffer and perish in the flames!
But he only hated himself for being too far away to do anything; the fire burned too quickly for him to catch up to rescue them.
At this time, Duan Yun shouted: "Let’s retreat!"
Since people were dead, saving an empty village no longer held any meaning.
The group of people, battered and bruised, dashed towards the Fairy Cave amidst the overwhelming flames and smoke...
Leng Yimeng and Leng Yixue tunneled out through the cave entrance. With their previous experience of tunneling, this time, although they got stuck several times, they eventually managed much more smoothly.
The two beautiful Divine Catchers emerged from the cave entrance and returned to the peach blossom forest, their bodies half black, half white.
Though the fire hadn’t reached them, the smoke arrived first, and in that narrow space, the spreading dense smoke was a death trap more formidable than the imposing bears that were stuck.
However, by relying on the Inner Breath Technique they practiced by day, they managed to tunnel out.
Once the two Divine Catchers emerged, the smoke continued to billow out of the cave entrance, looking as if the entire Fairy Cave was exhaling clouds and mist.
In the rolling smoke, the two swiftly found the upwind, avoiding further smoke inhalation.
