In the mountain range, sharp sonic booms resounded above the Void Realm.
The moment the sonic boom sounded, a shadow flashed out, paused briefly, and then reappeared several hundred meters away.
The instant this shadow disappeared, two more black shadows followed closely.
One of these black shadows was enormous, like a flagship warship flying through the air, charging ahead without restraint, seemingly invincible.
The other exuded powerful light-green Qi, and its speed as it flew through the air was in no way inferior to the black shadow in front.
As one fled and the other pursued, Mo Yu's figure had once again become a small black dot within the sight of the two.
The Black Lizard Demon Snake King slowly raised its head, watching the black-robed figure flying rapidly with purple-gold wings on its back. It flicked its crimson tongue, then muttered darkly in its heart, "This person's Aura is so familiar; I seem to have seen it somewhere before."
On the other side, the Lion-headed Elder murmured, "This person's speed is truly strange. There's no Qi overflowing during his flight. Such perfect control is quite rare."
"Why have I never known that the Mu Lan Empire produced such a strong expert? This speed is difficult to compare even for some Dou Huang experts." The Lion-headed Elder's brows furrowed tighter, showing the confusion in his heart.
"We can't drag this out any longer. It would be bad if we lost him, especially with that Lizard Serpent King…"
Glancing at the Black Lizard Demon Snake King, who was also in hot pursuit, the Lion-headed Elder hardened his heart. He absolutely could not let go of someone who dared to play tricks on Mulan Valley.
Looking at Mo Yu in front, he said coldly, "Five hundred meters is within attack range. Now, just a little more… accelerate."
As his voice fell, the Lion-headed Elder's green Qi surged violently. The next moment, his body suddenly rotated slightly in the air in a strange manner. A afterimage remained in place while his true body mysteriously vanished, reappearing over a hundred meters away.
"Mulan Valley, don't even think about snatching the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire from this King!"
Seeing the Lion-headed Elder suddenly accelerate and disappear, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King was first startled, then a surge of anger welled up in its heart.
It was originally the first to obtain the exotic fire, but then it was targeted one after another, first by that despicable thief in front, and then by the bandit beside it. It felt like it was about to spit blood.
Flicking its crimson tongue, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King's Triangle Eye grew even more sinister. At the same time, the black mist on its body suddenly flared with brilliant light and spread out. As the black mist gradually billowed and churned, in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a pair of black wings.
With the addition of the black energy wings, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King resembled a giant Dragon flying through the sky, majestic and extraordinary. Its speed also abruptly increased, not losing out to the Lion-headed Elder in front.
"Oh no…" Noticing the slightly unusual wind sound by his ear, Mo Yu glanced back from the corner of his eye. Seeing the two Dou Huang experts flashing towards him, his heart couldn't help but sink.
A Peak Dou Huang expert plus a top-tier sixth-tier Demonic Beast. This was dangerous.
"This venerable one hasn't fully recovered yet, otherwise, how could I allow such trash to be so presumptuous?" A sinister glint flashed in Snake Uncle's enchanting eyes as he said resentfully.
Hearing this, Mo Yu's mind also raced. Facing the pursuit of two Dou Huang experts, it was unlikely that Snake Uncle could fight one against two…
"Be careful!"
"Lion King Fist!"
Just as Mo Yu was contemplating his escape route, a roar of killing intent like a lion's roar and Snake Uncle's urgent cry suddenly resounded.
And as the shouts faded, the space dozens of meters in front of Mo Yu suddenly twisted, and a tangible fist, entirely condensed from Qi, abruptly formed.
The fist was imbued with violent Qi, resembling the head of a lion, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts. Looking at it, if anyone were to crash into it, they would likely be immediately hammered into a puddle of mud by this terrifying fist, with no chance of survival.
Staring wide-eyed at the terrifying lion-headed fist that was getting closer and closer, Mo Yu's pupils at this moment almost shrunk to pinholes. As if by inertia, he had already desperately slowed down, but his body was still fiercely crashing towards the lion-headed fist.
"Damn it!"
The horror in his heart made Mo Yu's face turn pale. Just as his body was only a few meters away from the lion-headed fist, a purple-gold light suddenly surged out from within him.
His body also suddenly became extremely stiff, as if it had been nailed firmly in mid-air, coming to a complete halt.
His body suspended in mid-air, a few drops of cold sweat slowly dripped from Mo Yu's forehead.
A few centimeters in front of him, the huge lion-headed fist roared like a Lion King, emitting continuous, violent sounds, quite terrifying.
Slowly calming his emotions, Mo Yu's voice was also somewhat perilous and resentful, "Damn, this is too vicious."
"Hand over the exotic fire! I don't know who you are, but daring to trick my Mulan Valley is not a wise decision. You will pay the price of death!"
A voice filled with furious killing intent slowly resounded from behind. The Lion-headed Elder slowly appeared in Mo Yu's line of sight.
"Sigh, Snake Uncle, it seems we'll have to fight to the death now." Hearing the voice behind him, Mo Yu's brows furrowed, and he let out a light sigh.
The escape plan had failed. Now, only the most tragic frontal battle remained.
"Mm-hmm, try your best. It's still the same thing: fighting one Dou Huang expert, I can guarantee your life, but don't forget, there's also that trash lizard snake." Snake Uncle's voice was as hoarse and cold as ever, with a hint of solemnity.
As soon as his voice fell, an angry roar echoed through the mountain range.
"You despicable little thief, how dare you frame my Lizard Snake Clan and steal this King's Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire! When you fall into this King's hands, this King will surely tear you to pieces!"
Hearing this roar, Mo Yu's face immediately sank: "The Black Lizard Demon Snake King is here too. It seems this trip is truly bad."
Although Snake Uncle was a Dou Zun expert, his Soul Power had only partially recovered. Dealing with one Dou Huang was already strenuous, let alone two Peak Dou Huang experts.
However, since things had come to this, he still had to face it.
Stopping his steps, Mo Yu slowly turned around, finally facing the Lion-headed Elder, one of the Three Elders of Mu Lan, and the renowned sixth-tier Demonic Beast, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King, for the first time.
The moment Mo Yu turned around, the Lion-headed Elder and the Black Lizard Demon Snake King also finally took a direct look at the mastermind behind the conflict between the two major forces.
However, when they saw Mo Yu's face, their expressions couldn't help but freeze, then they exclaimed in surprise, "You… you're actually a young man!?"
Seeing Mo Yu's handsome and slightly youthful face, both the Lion-headed Elder and the Lizard Serpent King's eyes flashed with unparalleled shock.
Who would have thought that the one who plotted the great battle between the two top forces, Mulan Valley and the Lizard Snake Clan, was actually a young man who looked to be under twenty?
"Kid, I can feel the exotic fire on you. Tell me, who is instructing you from behind?!"
The Black Lizard Demon Snake King flicked its crimson tongue, its Triangle Eye coldly staring at Mo Yu. It didn't believe that all of this was the plan of a Human Race youth. There must be others involved.
The Lion-headed Elder on the side suddenly interjected with a cold shout, "This child dared to abduct my grandson and plot against my Mulan Valley. Whether or not someone is instructing him, this old man must take him away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lizard Serpent King on the side immediately snorted in dissatisfaction, "Elder Shi, this child possesses this King's Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire. You can take the person, but the exotic fire must be left behind."
The Lizard Serpent King was extremely dissatisfied with the Lion-headed Elder's interception. If the true enemy, Mo Yu, wasn't still in front of them, perhaps the man and the Beast would have erupted into another battle.
Seeing the two seemingly on the verge of internal conflict, Mo Yu slightly raised an eyebrow, then subtly shifted his feet, wanting to use this opportunity to quietly escape.
As if sensing Mo Yu's little scheme, the Lion-headed Elder suddenly snorted coldly, "Lizard Serpent King, we can discuss the ownership of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire later. First, capture this child to avoid further complications."
Hearing this, the Black Lizard Demon Snake King glanced at Mo Yu, a cold killing intent flashing in its Triangle Eye. This child had caused its evolution plan to encounter an unexpected turn halfway through; no matter what, it could not be allowed to live.
Moreover, who knew if the young man had any helpers behind him? It was indeed not suitable for internal conflict at the moment.
"Alright, as Elder Shi says." The Black Lizard Demon Snake King nodded and said.
Seeing the two Dou Huang experts reach an agreement, Mo Yu's heart couldn't help but sink. He gave a bitter smile and said, "Snake Uncle, if you can fight later, then fight. If you can't, just run. If you have a chance, remember to avenge me."
Having undergone Rebirth three times, Mo Yu had long since come to terms with life and death. Although he was extremely unwilling at the moment, facing the pincer attack of two Peak Dou Huang experts, Mo Yu was not afraid or panicked, nor did he kneel and surrender to the enemy.
A man is bound to die. Perhaps, his path of conquering the continent could only stop here.
Hearing Mo Yu's calm words, Snake Uncle couldn't help but be startled. Even he, when facing death, was filled with fear, yet he couldn't be as calm as the young man.
Mo Yu, this guy, really is different…
"Heh, kid, this venerable one still needs you to help me restore my Physical Body. You can't just die here."
At this moment, Snake Uncle's hoarse voice sounded.
Unknowingly, Snake Uncle had developed a different kind of affection for the young man. Although they were of different races, after this tribulation, the two had developed a true camaraderie in adversity.
Moreover, as a dignified Dou Zun, a former strong expert who had the chance to be the King of the Snake-People, Snake Uncle also had his own pride. How could he abandon the young man and flee in a panic?
Hearing this, Mo Yu was also startled. He and Snake Uncle did not have the same sincere feelings as Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, but he did not expect that at the critical moment, the latter would still remain loyal. Because of this, the young man's heart also warmed slightly.
"Don't worry, Snake Uncle, if I survive this great tribulation, this junior will definitely help you restore your Physical Body in the future." Mo Yu said firmly.
Snake Uncle smiled at Mo Yu's promise, then looked at the two powerful experts in front of him, his expression immediately becoming solemn.
Next, it was probably going to be a tough battle…
At this moment, the Lion-headed Elder and the Black Lizard Demon Snake King also looked at the young man, their Auras surging, preparing to capture him in one fell swoop.
Just as Snake Uncle was about to control Mo Yu's Physical Body and engage in a fierce battle with the Lion-headed Elder and the Black Lizard Demon Snake King, a clear and ethereal young girl's voice suddenly resounded in the mountain range.
"Young Master, Qing Lin is here."
Hearing this familiar voice, Mo Yu was immediately stunned, then secretly thought, "Oh no, Qing Lin, why is she here? It's very dangerous here…"
Just as Mo Yu was thinking this, the young man's powerful Soul Power suddenly sensed something was amiss, because next to Qing Lin, there seemed to be a powerful Aura not inferior to that of the Black Lizard Demon Snake King.
"This is…"
Feeling this Aura, Mo Yu was startled. How could there be such a strong expert beside Qing Lin? Could it be…
As if he had thought of a possibility, Mo Yu secretly rejoiced and quickly looked towards the direction from which the voice came.
The Lion-headed Elder and the Black Lizard Demon Snake King also heard this voice. When they felt the powerful Aura of the newcomer, they exchanged glances, their expressions also tensing. They quickly stopped their attack and, along with Mo Yu, looked towards the direction from which the voice came.
The sudden turn of events caused the impending battle in the field to halt abruptly. Then, under everyone's gaze, a cyan figure, with an extremely terrifying speed, quickly swept into everyone's line of sight.
When the cyan figure stopped in front of them, the few people finally saw the true appearance of the newcomer.
The cyan figure was indeed a woman dressed in green.
Mo Yu stared intently at this Fairy Xiao. Although the green veil on her face concealed her appearance, the exquisite and graceful figure beneath the green clothes made it clear that the woman's appearance would likely not be bad.
At this moment, this mysterious Fairy Xiao was holding Mo Yu's little maid, Qing Lin, in her slender arms.
"Kid, you're really lucky. It's someone from Heavenly Serpent Mansion. This Heavenly Serpent Mansion is a deeply hidden and powerful sect in the Northwest Continent. Even this venerable one, when traveling the continent back then, didn't dare to provoke this force too much.
Looking at the situation, it seems Heavenly Serpent Mansion has taken an interest in your little maid. In this way, you might have a helper." Snake Uncle's voice resounded in Mo Yu's heart.
Hearing this, Mo Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. The moment he saw the Fairy Xiao, he had roughly guessed the whole story. What Snake Uncle said was probably not far off.
Moreover, Mo Yu also had some understanding of this Fairy Xiao's identity. She was Lü Man, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Elder and Dou Huang expert from the original work who snatched Qing Lin from Xiao Yan in the Mo family.
At this moment, Qing Lin also quickly jumped down from the Fairy Xiao's embrace and ran to Mo Yu's side, giggling, "Young Master, are you alright? Qing Lin has been very worried about you recently.
Oh, and Qing Lin also found you a very powerful helper. Sister Lü Man promised to help you. Qing Lin can finally help Young Master now."
Hearing the little girl's words, a warm current slowly flowed through Mo Yu's heart. He gently stroked the little girl's head and chuckled, "Yes, Qing Lin is the best."
Hearing Mo Yu's praise, Qing Lin immediately smiled, her small face radiating a flower-like smile, making her adorable.
At this moment, the Fairy Xiao on the side also slowly walked over. Looking at Mo Yu, a hint of surprise first flashed in her beautiful eyes, then she chuckled softly.
"You are Qing Lin's young master? To dare to provoke two experts comparable to Peak Dou Huang at the same time, you are truly extraordinary…"
