"Be careful, senior brother."

"Be careful, Uncle-Master."

As the Yellow River Formation was about to touch the main body of the Burning Lamp, the members of the Chan Sect cried out in alarm.

Just then, the body of the lamp suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a huge phantom appeared around it, looking like a lampshade.

The Yellow River water crashed directly onto the lampshade.

"Sizzle..."

The river water evaporated instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of blue flame flew out from the lampshade. The flame was as blue as a blazing sun, which was very strange. People could not feel the temperature, but they could feel the energy contained in this huge flame. The ball of blue flame crashed down towards Duobao and the others below.

“Glass lamp, Netherworld fire.” Lu Ya frowned.

"Retreat!" Duobao roared, then used his magic to leave behind an afterimage before disappearing.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Three Holy Mothers and the Three Immortals abandoned the formation and quickly disappeared from the spot.

"So powerful," Bai Ze murmured.

It's truly astonishing that a half-step Primordial Realm cultivator could hold his own against seven Quasi-Saints.

After passing through the afterimage left by Duobao, the ball of blue flame fell directly downwards.

"Boom..."

After a deafening roar, a cloud of dust billowed up from the ground, and the powerful impact swept outwards like a nuclear bomb, forcing everyone to use magic to stabilize themselves.

"Protect the human race!" Bai Ze shouted to the demon saints beside him.

The group quickly flew back to the front of Sishui Pass and used their magic together to create a barrier that immediately appeared outside the pass.

"Bang..."

The shockwave collided with the barrier, causing the entire Sishui Pass to tremble as if an earthquake had struck, but fortunately it did not collapse and was blocked by Jiuying and the others.

"Damn it." In the sky, the Taoist Duobao, who had just dodged, looked grim. He hadn't expected that even this wouldn't be able to hurt Randeng.

As the smoke and dust cleared, everyone looked down and saw that the entire battlefield had vanished. All that remained on the open ground where the Sishui Pass and the Xiqi army had fought was a huge crater spanning dozens of miles, its depths unfathomable.

Everyone was stunned, staring dumbfounded at the Taoist Ran Deng in the air.

Ran Deng was extremely excited. Looking at his hands, he thought, "Is this the power of a half-step Hunyuan? It's so powerful. How powerful must a true Hunyuan Saint be?"

"Okay!" Guang Chengzi shouted.

"Great, that's wonderful."

"Brother Burning Lamp is mighty!"

The members of the Chan Sect immediately cheered.

Compared to the Chan Sect, Daoist Duobao and several demon saints had their brows furrowed.

Burning Lamp is very strong, but not enough to kill them. However, with Burning Lamp Daoist's current power, killing those below the Quasi-Saint level is as easy as taking candy from a baby, which is what the Quasi-Saints are worried about.

Duobao couldn't help but look at Lu Ya beside him, hoping to get some help from him.

“Senior Lu Ya,” Duo Bao said softly.

"No need to say more, I know." Lu Ya nodded.

Lu Ya slowly flew forward and stood opposite Randeng.

“A half-step Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator is indeed beyond the reach of a Quasi-Saint. But Randeng, how long can this borrowed power last?” Lu Ya asked.

“Indeed, it won’t last long. I know I can’t kill you, but you can’t protect the others either. Lu Ya, I’ve already given you face, but you didn’t appreciate it,” Ran Deng said indifferently.

"Are you going to take action against these juniors?" Lu Ya asked.

Ran Deng didn't respond, and began to prepare an attack.

"Randeng, if you dare to do this, I, Lu Ya, guarantee that none of your Chan Sect disciples will leave here today," Lu Ya said angrily.

"Then I must kill them even more," Ran Deng said angrily.

"Light the lamp."

At this moment, Grand Master Xuandu suddenly spoke up.

Ran Deng turned to look at Xuan Du.

Xuan Du was, after all, of human origin, and he couldn't bear to watch the entire human race at Sishui Pass be slaughtered. He shook his head at Randeng, signaling him not to act rashly.

However, at this moment, Randeng was extremely proud and paid no attention to Xuandu. He smiled slightly at him and continued to accumulate power in his hands.

"Chirp..."

A cry rang out, followed by a rapid rise in the surrounding temperature. A golden light appeared in everyone's eyes, and a giant three-legged golden crow appeared in the air. It was Lu Ya, who had reverted to his original form.

"roar..."

"roar..."

Immediately afterwards, the four demon saints, Bai Ze, Jiu Ying, Shang Yang, and Ji Meng, also transformed back into their original forms, and the four primordial beasts appeared at the same time.

The oppressive feeling terrified the members of the Chan Sect, but Randeng remained unmoved, and began to accumulate energy in his other hand.

"Um?"

Just then, both sides suddenly sensed something and stopped looking at the distant sky.

The crowd quickly followed the gazes of the powerful figures and saw a figure flying unsteadily in the southern sky, seemingly dragging someone along beneath it.

"Whoosh..."

Before the person even arrived, a strange sound came from the sky, unlike the sound of people flying normally or transforming into rainbows.

Moreover, one could vaguely see that the other party seemed to be mixed with flames, and the sound of airflow was coming from those flames.

"Teacher, you...you're too heavy...I can't hold on any longer."

A young voice rang out, and then the figure swayed and fell from the sky. Only then did people realize that it was a young man of about twenty years old, and his hands were gripping the white cloak of a bald man in yellow clothes.

"What a hassle. You're still lacking in exercise. It's only been a thousand miles." The bald man's lazy voice came from behind.

"boom..."

The two fell to the ground at the same time, landing right on the edge of the giant crater.

"Wow, you almost killed me! I nearly fell."

"I'm sorry, Saitama-sensei, I didn't mean to."

The newcomers were Saitama and Himeka.

"Huh? So many people, hi...hello everyone." Saitama scratched his head, belatedly looked up at the sky, and smiled as he greeted everyone.

"Ji Fa".

At this moment, Bo Yikao, who was hiding at the very back, also saw Ji Fa and exclaimed in surprise.

"Big brother? Big brother, it really is you." Ji Fa turned around quickly, his orange eyes instantly locking onto the source of the voice. It was none other than his older brother, Boyi Kao.

"It's Ji Fa!" Boyi Kao excitedly tried to rush out, but was stopped by Nangong Shi and others.

"Young master, you mustn't."

Ji Fa also wanted to rush over, but after taking a few steps, he realized that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange.

"Ahem... Can you tell me what you're doing?" Saitama said.

The sudden appearance of these two people made the scene extremely strange.

"Brother Saitama, it's very dangerous here. You should leave," Lu Ya said from the air.

"Wow, a talking crow, and it's golden!" Saitama's eyes lit up.

"Teacher, that looks like a three-legged golden crow."

"Oh right, it's Brother Lu Ya." Ji Fa suddenly remembered that Lu Ya's true form was a three-legged golden crow.

"Oh, it's you. I was wondering why your voice sounded familiar." Saitama nodded.

"Um, are you guys fighting? Do you need my help?" Saitama asked excitedly.

Before Lu Ya could reply, Randeng suddenly sneered.

"Another one coming to die, bald kid. Looks like you're one of them too."

"Hmm?" Saitama's expression immediately turned displeased, and he turned to look at the Taoist Ran Deng in the air.

“First of all, I’m a newcomer, and I don’t know if I’m part of their group. Secondly, I don’t like people calling me bald, and you certainly don’t have that right,” Saitama said, holding up one finger.

"Haha, kid, I..."

"Bang..."

Before the Taoist Ran Deng could finish his sentence, he was sent flying backward with a loud bang.

"Boom..."

Ran Deng crashed into a large mountain, causing the entire mountain to collapse.

Saitama appeared where the lantern had just been, still in the position of throwing a punch; it was he who had just made the move.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene, their gazes shifting back and forth between Saitama and the collapsed mountain.

"Wow, teacher, that punch was amazing!" Ji Fa exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Whoosh..."

Saitama slowly descended from the sky, his yellow bodysuit and white cape creating a scene that everyone would never forget. With a single punch, he sent a half-step Hunyuan flying.

"Damn, that's powerful." Lu Ya's figure swayed, and he transformed back into human form, opening his mouth to say.

The other demon saints also transformed back into human form.

"Oh, it's you, Bai Ze." Saitama waved to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze nodded awkwardly in response, he hadn't expected Saitama to be so fierce.

Just then, from the spot where Randeng had just been knocked away, a powerful aura shot into the sky, followed by a golden light that flew out from the mountain. It was Randeng, though his clothes were slightly disheveled and his body was unharmed.

"Damn it, who are you?" Ran Deng said angrily.

"You're alright?" Saitama was also slightly taken aback.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." Saitama then straightened up.

"I am Saitama, a hero who lives by his hobby."

"My name is Ji Fa. I am Saitama's disciple and a hero who does so out of interest." Ji Fa quickly imitated Qi Yu's self-introduction.

"hero?"

Everyone was puzzled.

“Second brother… second brother seems to have changed,” Boyi Kao murmured.

"You nobody, since that's how it is, then prepare to die," Ran Deng said coldly, and then his powerful aura pressed down on Saitama.

Saitama grabbed Ji Fa and forcefully threw him behind him. Ji Fa was thrown to Lu Ya's side, where Lu Ya reached out and caught him.

"boom..."

The aura of a half-step Hunyuan instantly pressed down on Saitama.

"Hmm." Saitama grunted, his legs sinking slightly as he assumed a horse stance, but he wasn't crushed by the imposing aura.

"So powerful, it's definitely far stronger than a dragon-level monster," Saitama exclaimed excitedly.

"Ha...ha...I think I'm getting the urge to fight," Saitama whispered.

After he finished speaking, Saitama's muscles suddenly bulged, almost bursting his yellow bodysuit. Then he straightened his legs, having already adapted to the pressure on his body.

"Huh?" Ran Deng looked at the small figure below in shock, seemingly not expecting that the other party could still move.

"Hime Fa, watch closely, this is a practical training session." Saitama turned around and gave Hime Fa a thumbs up.
