"Sssss..."

The boiling Ruishui River possesses extremely potent corrosiveness, descending now like a torrential storm, splattering onto the ground below.

Vegetation evaporates instantly, mountains sink down, and the earth reveals one scorching pit after another.

At this moment, Mo Wangchen is operating the Haotian God Technique, coupled with his Divine King Body, facing the lethal Ruishui River without being affected at all; the water hits him, yet cannot harm him in the slightest.

"Buzz..."

He draws his Divine Bow to full moon, releasing a startling arrow force, which reaches Nalan Kang in the blink of an eye.

"Snap!"

Nalan Kang squints his eyes, malice emerging within as he faces Mo Wangchen and the uninvited guests without any pity; a vast, empty hand appears in the blink, crushing the sword force from Mo Wangchen.

"Is it you all?"

In the other direction in the sky, once the Ruishui River completely descends and the hot air dissipates, Jian Yi and Jiang Longwei finally see Mo Wangchen and the others’ faces clearly.

"Taixu Pavilion Master Li Mu, Canglong Lord Liu Qingxin, Divine King Body Mo Wangchen, Southern Immortal Xu Qingqiu!"

Not only those two, but many experts from Tianxuan Hall and Divine Sword Sect in the team also recognize the backgrounds of these intruders now.

"I wondered who it was, turns out you’re from Holy City Taixu Pavilion and Canglong Sect?"

Hearing the crowd’s words, Nalan Kang squints further; before exploring the Tomb, he reached a secret agreement with Jiang Longwei to cooperate.

Also aware that they clashed with Li Mu, Mo Wangchen, and others in the Holy Garden.

Unexpectedly, shortly after arriving at the Divine King Tomb, they encounter them quickly, and it’s while suppressing the Demon Flag that the confrontation arises.

"Heaven has a path you refused to tread, yet you’ve barged into the Hell without a door; no matter you’re from Taixu Universe or Canglong Universe, daring to disrupt my flag seizure is simply seeking death!"

After a cold snort, Nalan Kang’s large hand is probing the void; in an instant, the Divine Pearl shot out by Mo Wangchen returns to his grip autonomously.

"Buzz..."

The Divine Pearl in hand emits a dazzling Holy Light, turning the air hot at this moment; Nalan Kang’s Divine Pearl appears as radiant as a Bright Sun.

"Szz..."

At a certain moment, as the scorching aura fills the void and reaches a critical point, suddenly, an astonishing Holy Light refracts from within the Divine Pearl.

During its movement, this Holy Light transforms into a streak of Sword Light, carrying an intensely hot aura, floating towards Mo Wangchen to strike.

"Break!"

Mo Wangchen dares not underestimate; Nalan Kang, known as the strongest expert of the current generation in Tianxuan Universe, with a single cultivation reaching the Reverse Life Realm’s sixth level.

This shall be an unprecedented formidable enemy!

He drives the Haotian God Technique to the extreme, simultaneously urging the Creation Immortal Scripture; a golden fist tightens, possessing the force to suppress mountains and rivers, and strikes boldly.

"Crack!"

The formidable fist force seemingly capable of smashing everything instantly dissolves Nalan Kang’s attack, erasing the Sword Light formed by the Holy Light into nothingness.

"Hmm?"

Simultaneously, Mo Wangchen suddenly squints, his gaze shifting behind, witnessing a massive Azure Dragon extending its claw towards him, tearing through the void, rapidly approaching above his head.

"Begone!"

Mo Wangchen coldly shouts, eyes flashing with a cold glow, punching the dragon claw to pieces, while his gaze locks onto a distant bulky figure in the void.

"Courting death!"

He squints, identifying the opponent, clearly the Black Wither City Lord Zhuge Ye!

Previously heard Zhuge Ye had joined Tianxuan Hall with a large group of experts from Black Wither City; Mo Wangchen was puzzled as to why he would easily abandon the position of City Lord.

Now it seems, Zhuge Ye’s reason for joining Tianxuan Hall is likely to ally with them for the exploration of the Divine King Tomb?

"Engaging in combat, especially losing focus during combat with me, is a grave mistake, one that comes with a costly price."

Suddenly, a cold voice emerges from behind; Nalan Kang is not sure when he approached, holding a Divine Pearl glowing with Holy Light, emitting large swaths of boiling hot air, rushing like fire towards Mo Wangchen.

"Boom boom boom!"

The extreme temperatures dissolve everything, with space collapsing and vegetation below evaporating into void.

"Sss!"

A Holy Light flashes like cutting across the Heavenly Universe; Li Mu appears, arriving not far beside Mo Wangchen, slicing through the immense heat, splitting it into two, causing it to explode on the spot, scattering into rolling waves and engulfing all directions.

"Brother Mo, I’ll handle this person first; I can delay him briefly." Li Mu leaps forward, standing before Mo Wangchen.

Mo Wangchen nods upon hearing, secretly transmitting, "Do not become overly committed to the battle; this person, after all, is a Reverse Life sixth-level expert, prolonged entanglement will surely result in disadvantage, and our goal is merely to stop them from suppressing the Demon Flag, preventing it from becoming a threat to us."

His intention is simple; he planned it from the beginning.

Rushing out midway isn’t to seize the Demon Flag from Nalan Kang but solely to stop them from suppressing it.

Otherwise, if the Demon Flag falls into Nalan Kang’s hands, it would pose a threat to everyone. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Taixu Pavilion Master Li Mu... indeed a worthy opponent, but relying on yourself to block me might be a bit arrogant."

Nalan Kang sneers and continues, "I am indifferent; no matter who among you dies first, it makes no difference to me."

"Is that so?"

Li Mu merely chuckles subtly, showing no urgency, "I may not be your match, but killing me isn’t easy either. Moreover, apart from us, there’s something here threatening both you and everything present."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

As his voice ceases, wild winds rise within the nearby void, and the Demon Flag that had been forgotten now again unleashes massive waves of purple-black Demonic Qi.

"Sssss..."

Demonic Qi centers around the Demon Flag, spreading across the void, obscuring the day, instantly enveloping the entire field with a sharp and terrifying aura.

The Demonic Qi covering most of the sky suddenly condenses into countless Sword Lights and Sword Beams, thousands upon thousands, resembling a grand banquet of Sword Rain, descending in unison.

"Not good!"

Everyone’s expression changes drastically; this is an indiscriminate attack, any who dares linger within the Demon Flag’s attack range are locked by those Sword Lights and Sword Beams.
