Fiery red loose silk robe, fiery red long hair, smooth white skin, and yet exuding an aura that made others dare not approach. When such a woman looked down on them while she stood above a Shadow Flame Beast, even the most arrogant person would not dare to rebut her after being scolded and could only lower his head helplessly.
The Shadow Flame Beast took a step forward. It did not take to the sky, but instead ran on the ground rapidly.
The places where its four limbs stepped over were charred, the air was ignited and the effect rapidly spread out.
Madam Huo ran at the fore front, while the Hexfire obediently followed behind her. They used some unknown technique and created a burning path ahead of them. They could run at a very amazing speed within the flames, even the pseudo Immortal rank soul pets of Hexfire were not inferior in speed compared to Madam Huo’s Shadow Flame Beast.
......
“They’re coming, the flame beast at the front is exuding a really powerful aura,” reported Princess Jin Rou worriedly after taking a glance at the land lit by flames behind them.
Enemies from other places were also approaching from further behind them. The Martial Cloud Dragon could not continue flying in a straight line, or they would end up being sandwiched easily.
If they took a diagonal route, then the fire type soul pet trainers would easily be able to catch up, as they had clearly guessed that Chu Mu’s group was heading towards the back of the sun.
“Jin Rou, how far away is the first batch?” asked Chu Mu after he took a glance behind.
“With our current route and speed, they will catch up in twenty minutes. They are really fast, it’s probably because they are using a formation flight,” replied Princess Jin Rou.
Wing type soul pets of the same species could be used to arrange a formation. By controlling and guiding the air currents around them, their flying speed would become much faster.
It would not work if they were to continue like this. Once the Martial Cloud Dragon was caught up after ten minutes, they would have to face two continuous waves of attacks soon after that.
“Let’s finish off those fire type soul pet trainers first then,” stated Chu Mu.
Taking on the pursuers one by one was far better than simply getting sandwiched. Chu Mu asked the Martial Cloud Dragon to stop and turn around to face those seven fire type soul pet trainers.
The Martial Cloud Dragon landed. Its powerful hind limbs stomped on the ground loudly and caused a great tremor.
It turned around and pulled up a mountain that was over a few thousand meters tall from the ground, then hurled it towards those fire type soul pet trainers!
The scene of a mountain that was a few thousand meters tall gliding fast along the ground was truly astonishing, shards of rock were scattered all around the spots it passed through.
The Shadow Flame Beast did not jump or dodge after it saw a mountain sweeping towards it along the ground. It did not slow down its pace at all and created a rapidly spinning clump of fire around its body, attempting to directly drill through the mountain as it charged right through!
Bam!
The mountain was easily smashed into two by the spinning clump of fire. The other fire type soul pets followed behind it through the opened up path.
The six people behind Madam Huo turned pale with fright after they saw a mountain gliding towards them. However, Madam Huo maintained her calm. Her eyes focused on the Martial Cloud Dragon that had suddenly stopped, a trace of doubt flashing across her eyes. However, she snorted right afterwards, “You’re asking for it!”
Madam Huo took the lead. Although the Shadow Flame Beast was not as large as the Martial Cloud Dragon, the threatening flames around it made it look extremely dangerous.
The Martial Cloud Dragon’s dark blue eyes looked down at the Shadow Flame Beast from above. The air that was blown out from its nose turned into chaotic hurricanes. It seemed that this Martial Cloud Dragon was particularly interested in having a bout against the Shadow Flame Beast that did not lose to it in aura.
“Martial Cloud Dragon, you will take it on. I will handle the other six,” Chu Mu jumped down from the Martial Cloud Dragon’s back.
The Martial Cloud Dragon nodded. It did not like to defend passively anyway. When it saw the Shadow Flame Beast charging towards it without slowing down at all, it simply opened up its legs and charged towards the Shadow Flame Beast too while leaving deep footprints on the ground!
The flames on the Shadow Flame Beast rumbled and exploded when the two figures clashed.
The Martial Cloud Dragon did not mind getting burns from the flame. Its brute strength was far greater than the Shadow Flame Beast. After they clashed, the Shadow Flame Beast was pushed back a long distance, and the flames wrapping around it were also completely extinguished.
Madam Huo lost her balance and took a moment to stabilize herself. Her brows furrowed as the power displayed by that Martial Cloud Dragon had surprised her.
“This is a wild Martial Cloud Dragon,” Madam Huo immediately made this judgement and turned her gaze to look at Chu Mu.
She did not know why a wild Martial Cloud Dragon was helping that young man, but she was almost certain that the Light King’s Monument Tear was in the young man's possession.
Madam Huo was not really a Monument Tear Individual, the only objective she had when she came here was to find out the entrance to the Blazing Realm.
Madam Huo knew that the Seven Sins Fox Light King had once entered the Blazing Realm in the past and it had obtained a Monument Tear in there. Hence, as long as she obtained the Monument Tear of that Seven Sins Fox, she would know the method of entering the Blazing Realm and find the Immortal Fire Meteor that the Seven Sins Fox had hid inside that realm.
Of course, the Monument Tear itself was also a rare Immortal item in this world, so Madam Huo did not mind keeping that as well.
“You six, catch that kid. If you cannot even accomplish that, then you should just get buried along with this ruined world!” Madam Huo coldly glared at Hexfire.
“Madam, please rest assured. We are no match for the Martial Cloud Dragon, but this kid is definitely a piece of cake,” Feng Xu immediately appealed.
Madam Huo nodded. Seeing the Martial Cloud Dragon approaching her, she could no longer get distracted and fully focused on fighting it.
......
Feng Xu immediately surrounded Chu Mu along with his other five team members.
Feng Xu could tell that Chu Mu was really young. A person at that age would clearly be no match against old time soul pet trainers like them.
“Brat, don’t touch things that don’t belong to you. If you hand over the item right now, the Madam may let you live,” said Feng Xu after he took a glance at Chu Mu.
“That brat looks really familiar,” said the female soul pet trainer amongst the six.
That female soul pet trainer wore a rather revealing robe, using seductiveness to hide her common looks. Princess Jin Rou wondered, that woman still needs to put on so much makeup even after coming into the Imprint Valley?
“Isn’t he Chu Mu, the champion of the Outstanding Expert Competition?” Lan Huo from Hexfire recognized Chu Mu as he was also at the main spectator seat at the time.
“Oh, so he was one of those who were chosen to cultivate in Imprint Valley. Didn’t the three already leave from this place after the passage was opened a while ago? Why didn’t he leave then?” questioned Li Huo.
Chu Mu did not expect that he had become rather famous and was already recognized.
However, so be it then. This battle could not be avoided anyway. He immediately summoned Little Hidden Dragon and Zhan Ye to take on those six people.
“How ignorant!” Feng Xu sneered, “The Outstanding Expert Competition is just like playing house to people who have stepped into Immortal rank a long time ago like us!”
“Finish him off quickly, or Madam Huo will blame us again,” reminded Li Huo.
Hexfire did not put the champion of the young generation in their eyes at all. They did not even get into a formation, and Lan Huo simply charged towards Chu Mu first while riding on his Flame Lion.
“Zhan Ye, it’s yours,” Chu Mu told Zhan Ye.
Zhan Ye roared excitedly and charged towards the Immortal rank Flame Lion after it accelerated all of a sudden.
“I heard that your Dream Beast is quite strong. Won’t it be the perfect opponent for my Burning Nine-Headed Bird?” Feng Xu rode on his Burning Nine-Headed Bird and hovered above Chu Mu, sealing his escape route in the sky.
“Mo Xie, you handle it,” Chu Mu told Mo Xie.
“Wuwuwuwu~!”
Mo Xie leapt off from Chu Mu’s shoulder and purple flames rapidly ignited arount it as it stepped in midair.
Demonic cloud-like tails suddenly manifested in the sky. Feng Xu did not notice it at first and was frustrated when he realised that Chu Mu did not use his strongest soul pet to fight him.
Feng Xu was the leader of Hexfire, so he hated being underestimated the most!
“I will vanquish one of your souls first then!” cursed Feng Xu. He ordered his Burning Nine-Headed Bird to take on a proper stance in order to finish off Mo Xie in a single strike.
After Mo Xie transformed into the Hades Fox Noble in midair, it had a long trail of phantoms dragged behind it. Fox shadows were rapidly crossing through the demonic clouds. Dozens of tails had tumbled around Burning Nine-Headed Bird.
Despite having nine heads, Burning Nine-Headed Bird could not tell which one was the real Mo Xie. It could only cluelessly spit out magma pillars towards every phantom!
Chu Mu raised his head and saw that Mo Xie was toying around with Burning Nine-Headed Bird. He no longer paid attention on that side as he believed in Mo Xie’s strength, and he chanted an incarnation instead.
“Has no one ever taught you that a soul pet trainer should not easily go about revealing his location?” A fiery blue Flame Lion suddenly appeared. Lan Huo looked down at Chu Mu from above the Flame Lion and smugly declared Chu Mu’s death.
After reaching their level, every soul pet trainer would be fairly cautious of their location. It was rare for soul pet trainers to make a mistake of getting attacked by the enemy soul pet directly.
The place where Chu Mu stood at was not a well hidden spot, the experienced Lan Huo grasped this chance and had intended to end this battle immediately.
Chu Mu raised his head slightly and took a glance at Lan Huo calmly.
His did not stop chanting, and his body slid back creepily.
After easily dodging the attack from the Flame Lion, Little Hidden Dragon slapped the Flame Lion away at the right timing. Due to its soul devour ability, the Flame Lion’s flames had also dimmed a little.
Lan Huo opened his eyes wide in shock. He could not understand how a mortal soul pet trainer was able to dodge his soul pet’s attack.
Meanwhile, Chu Mu had completed his incantation and had summoned Night.
“Night, you take those two on,” Chu Mu believed in Night’s strength and let it take on two enemies by itself.
Night did not say anything. It quietly stood in front of Chu Mu, coldly focusing on the female soul pet trainer and another fire element Immortal.
“Leave the last one to me,” said Princess Jin Rou.
“Won’t it be dangerous?” Chu Mu was still worried about the safety of Princess Jin Rou, since the enemy was an Immortal rank.
“Relax,” replied Princess Jin Rou confidently. The current her was in very high spirits, giving off the vibes of a spirit queen!
