Looking at Shangguan Hong's smirking face, Cheng Xi narrowed her eyes and sneered, "He's definitely not a good person!"

Shangguan Honghuo's face was gloomy. If things continued at this pace, he didn't know what other obstacles awaited him.

He waved to the crowd behind him and coldly ordered, "Go!"

At a command, a team of elite soldiers charged toward Cheng Xi and Huang Xi.

Seeing the group charging towards them, Huang Xi angrily exclaimed, "Shameless!"

Cheng Xi said nothing, drew his sword, and went to meet the attack.

Seeing his men fall one by one, Shangguan Honghuo ordered again, "Next team, move in!"

Another small team rushed forward, and for a moment Chengxi and Huangxi found it difficult to resist.

Seeing this, Shangguan Honghu sneered, "Hmph, still trying to use a war of attrition? How laughable!"

Turning to the remaining soldiers, he said, "Let's go!"

Seeing Shangguan Honghuo leave with a group of men, Huang Xi was furious. "That guy really betrayed his teammates! All he knew was to run away first!"

"Don't worry, he won't get past the next hurdle easily!" Cheng Xi said coldly. "Let's deal with them first!"

"Since that's the case, let's show them what we're capable of—"

Upon entering the palace and finding no one around, Shangguan Honghuo exclaimed excitedly, "It seems they have no one left!"

Thinking of this, he slowed his pace, and the soldiers behind him walked ahead of him.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept by, and the soldiers running in front of them seemed to encounter a barrier, bouncing them back.

"What happened?!" Shangguan Hong asked anxiously.

"Yawn~ You're finally here! I was almost asleep waiting for you!" Mo Chen yawned and jumped down from the roof.

"It's you!" Shangguan Honghuo exclaimed in astonishment. "Even Lord Mo Han isn't stopping me, are you still going to stop me?"

"Hehe, first of all, my superior is not Mo Han; secondly, I'm not stopping you, I'm only stopping those who don't have the strength to pass through my wind formation!" Mo Chen said with a smile, "As long as you can get through, I will naturally let you pass!"

Shangguan Honghuo looked at Mo Chen with a suspicious expression. "Are you telling the truth?"

“Only dogs lie!” Mo Chen said with a grin.

Shangguan Honghuo looked up at the setting sun and frowned slightly: Why does it feel like the sunset is ending so quickly today?

Without giving it much thought, Shangguan Honghuo waved to the crowd behind him, "Those who can pass through this wind formation will be granted a hundred acres of fertile land when I unify the world! The path to supremacy for the strong begins beneath your feet!"

Upon hearing Shangguan Honghuo's words, everyone was energized and roared in unison, "Yes!"

Mo Chen smiled as he looked at the crowd, thinking to himself: Charge! Charge! The more people who charge, the better! Then you'll see what a truly desperate road is!
