Hurry to the Imperial City!
Hua Cheng said, "Don't worry about this. They will take care of it themselves."
The Imperial Master placed Yinyu's body on the fish's back, and the bony fish, carrying the bony dragon head, Quan Yizhen, and Yinyu, swam away. The other bony fish picked up the scattered bony dragon segments, piecing them together and slowly repairing the problem. It seemed they could indeed handle it themselves.
Without hesitation, Xie Lian immediately launched the massive stone statue into the sky. The priests asked, "Where are you going, Your Highness?"
"Are you planning to chase him?! You barely managed to escape..."
Xie Lian said, “We must give chase! He’s gone to a crowded area! We’re running out of time, so please hold on tight!”
Hua Cheng flipped a dice between his fingers and said solemnly, "Brother, are you ready?"
Xie Lian nodded. Hua Cheng tossed the dice and said, "Shrink the Earth a Thousand Miles! Open!"
The giant stone statue accumulated enough magic power and rushed upwards with all its strength!
After passing through the clouds, I could see the Fire Giant ahead, illuminating the entire dark sky with a brilliant red glow. They had also arrived above the Imperial City!
The people on the ground saw a massive, flaming monster suddenly appear in the sky, slowly descending and approaching them. Some were stunned, some started screaming, and some were so scared that they almost turned around and ran. Shi Qingxuan also gasped, but he quickly reacted and shouted at the top of his lungs to the crowd, "It's okay!!! Don't panic! It can't come down, someone will stop it! It's just a fight between gods, hahahahaha!!!"
"Are you really alright, Lao Feng? Taking down a monster that big with a slap is no joke!"
Shi Qingxuan laughed wildly, "Really? Look, I'm here too. If anyone wants to die, I'll die first! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
He was so nervous he lost his mind again. Xie Lian steered the giant stone statue forward, dodging the walls of fire spitted out by the demonic fire giant. He grabbed it and pulled it upwards, desperately trying to prevent it from getting any closer to the ground, saying, "Everyone, get down quickly!"
The priests, who had been sitting on the statues along the way, were already terrified by Xie Lian's wild manipulation style. They were eager to escape and jumped down like dumplings. As soon as they landed, they were stunned by the sight of Shi Qingxuan: "Master Feng? You... why are you here?!"
"Why are you like this..."
Shi Qingxuan was overjoyed and said, "Don't ask so many questions. Come on, come on, join us. Join the human formation and help hold on for a while. I'll treat you to chicken legs later. We can't let the vengeful spirits inside rush out!"
Most of the priests hesitated, but Lang Qianqiu was the first to rush over and said, "I'll help you!"
With someone taking the lead, the other priests gradually joined in. The formation grew stronger and more solid. Xie Lian breathed a sigh of relief and continued to drag the demonic fire giant upwards, only to hear a loud crunching noise.
The devil fire giant actually disintegrated again!
One of its legs detached from its body and flew downward. Even with just one leg, it could have crushed a large group of people. Not just that group, but the entire street could have been destroyed!
Unexpectedly, when the leg was halfway through the flight, there was a sudden loud noise, and it broke into pieces and exploded in the air.
Thousands of tiny sparks, carrying countless tiny particles that dissolved into the darkness, scattered all over the sky. Like the dust raining down after a spectacular fireworks display, it had no killing power. Xie Lian was stunned and asked, "How could it explode on its own? Did someone do that?"
At that moment, a figure soared from the center of the fireworks, rising against the sky and landing a few times on the demonic fire giant. Xie Lian took a closer look and said happily, "General Pei, you're okay! That's great!" He had already made a mental note to perform a few free rituals for Pei Ming later.
Pei Ming held the sword in one hand and brushed his hair back with the other. His hair was not messy, and his demeanor was not diminished. He said reservedly, "It's a little bit, but it's nothing serious."
Even after being cooked and boiled, it still wasn't done. The Martial Gods were indeed very tenacious. Xie Lian asked again, "Where are Ban Yue and the others?"
Hua Cheng said, "Nothing. Brother, look, they are there."
Xie Lian turned to look. Sure enough, in the distance, Ban Yue and Pei Su had landed on the roof of a house. It seemed the Mingguang Palace was sealed tightly, and the boiling Black Sea water hadn't completely flooded in. No one was seriously injured. Xie Lian asked again, "Where are Xuan Ji and the others?"
A voice said proudly: "Of course I defeated you!"
The sound came from Pei Ming's hand. Xie Lian then realized that the sword in Pei Ming's hand was actually Ming Guang!
He was slightly stunned: "General Pei, how dare you hold the Mingguang Sword?"
Pei Ming chuckled, "This is more complicated."
Rong Guang said, "Haha, what's so complicated about it? Isn't it just you kneel down and apologize, saying you were wrong and begging for my forgiveness? Hahahaha! It feels so good! It feels so good!"
“…”
“…”
Xie Lian had probably guessed it. Most likely, the three ghosts hadn't killed anyone yet, but had already started fighting among themselves over an "uneven division of the spoils." Rong Guang, triumphant, kicked Xuan Ji and Ke Mo away, just as a rumble erupted outside, and the air began to soar and dart across the ground. With the situation dire and impossible to escape, the only way to break free was to join forces. He was obsessed with forcing Pei Ming to admit his mistake and help him. Pei Ming did as he wished, and he finally felt relieved.
The demonic fire giant, despite having lost a leg, remained calm and composed, slowly and methodically beginning to reassemble itself. Stones and the golden palace from other parts of the structure were moved to the missing part. Soon, the structure was complete, still a giant, albeit slightly smaller. Pei Ming, clutching the Mingguang Sword, charged towards the Shenwu Hall. Xie Lian said, "General Pei, be careful!"
However, with the Mingguang Sword in hand, Pei Ming's attack power suddenly surged. Although Rong Guang had a bad personality and ulterior motives, he was still Pei Ming's longtime subordinate. The two of them understood how to work together perfectly. Quan Yizhen was slapped several times before he even reached the Divine Martial Hall. His path was filled with obstacles, and he stumbled. However, Pei Ming outran him and charged directly into the Divine Martial Hall!
Rong Guang was fighting in the Mingguang Sword, sparks flying, and he shouted at everyone: "See? I told you long ago that the two of us are invincible together. There is nothing we can't overturn! If you had listened to me earlier, how come you are still just a Mingguang General after hundreds of years?!"
Pei Ming's forehead veins bulged as he said, "Could you please stop talking?!"
Qi Rong hid by the Shenwu Hall, watching the battle, and shouted, "You damned stud, don't come up here and seek death! Get lost!"
Mingguang swung his sword and said, "What the hell is that green thing? Get out of my way!"
Qi Rong was nearly spun around several times by the sword. Gu Zi hugged his thighs and managed to steady him from falling. He asked worriedly, "Dad...are you okay?"
Qi Rong was humiliated in front of Gu Zi and was furious. However, seeing that Pei Ming and Ming Guang Jian were both filled with murderous intent, he didn't dare to confront them head-on. He said stubbornly, "You're using despicable means again..."
Unexpectedly, Guzi suddenly fell to the ground with a thud. Qi Rong was stunned. He looked down and saw Guzi was silent and motionless. He glared at Guzi, grabbed him, and shook him violently, saying, "Silly son, what are you doing?"
Guzi seemed to be asleep, eyes closed, forehead burning. Xie Lian desperately held onto the demonic fire giant, and noticed what was happening below. He said, "Qi Rong! Why don't you leave now? It's burning all over there, with both the sky and the water. That child is too young, he'll die!"
Qi Rong stuffed the grain under his armpit, raised his head and cursed: "Don't teach me a lesson! Who are you trying to fool? This kid was raised in a cheap family, how can he die so easily? Do you think I don't know that you just want to trick me away? As soon as I leave here, you will definitely kill me!" Even if Xie Lian didn't do anything to him, Lang Qianqiu was waiting for him!
Over there, Pei Ming and Jun Wu had already begun fighting. Qi Rong, engulfed in the flames, screamed and leaped from time to time to avoid the flames. Xie Lian angrily shouted, "If even a ghost like you can't stand this fire, how can you expect a child to do the same?!"
Gu Zi's face, being held under Qi Rong's armpit, burned red. Qi Rong stubbornly said, "Hehe, I won't leave! I won't leave! Wow, fucking...!!!" A burst of flames hit him, and the scorching waves hit his face. Qi Rong rolled and crawled around, his butt almost burned. He couldn't help but jump up and yell, "That old... boss Jun Wu! Can you not be so angry? You're burning you... me!"
Xie Lian always felt that what he wanted to say was "Jun Wu, you old thief, you burned your father!", but he didn't dare to say it out loud because he was afraid of death. Jun Wu didn't care about him at all. He was fighting with Pei Ming with a strange smile on his face. The fire around Qi Rong was getting bigger and bigger, and there was no place to stand. Although he was a ghost and the burns didn't kill him, he was also very uncomfortable and had almost no place to stand. Not long after, Gu Zi suddenly screamed, as if he was burned by the fire. Qi Rong took him out from under his armpit and took a look. Sure enough, there was a bloody patch on Gu Zi's forehead, and a big hole was burned on his shoulder, revealing the burned shoulder.
Guzi woke up from the fever and burst into tears. He hugged Qi Rong and said, "Dad, it hurts so much! I'm scared!"
Qi Rong had probably never faced such a situation before. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his mouth stiff with a look of frustration, not knowing what to say. Gu Zi, clutching his wound, sobbing in pain, said, "Dad, are we going to burn to death here?"
Qi Rong stammered, "This... this, this..."
Gu Zi sobbed, "Although your place seems very beautiful, it doesn't seem very good... The people here don't seem to treat us very well. Otherwise, we should move to another place..."
Qi Rong couldn't help it.
He rushed into the hall, wanting to catch Jun Wu but not daring to get close. He shouted from afar, "Let's have a discussion... Boss! It's okay if you set the fire. This is your territory anyway. You can do whatever you want. But, hehe, um, can you..."
This idiot, Xie Lian was so angry he almost fell off the Jade Crown Platform. He said, "Don't go up there and get yourself killed. Just come down! I promise I won't touch you!"
Qi Rong didn't listen to him at all. Seeing that Jun Wu was indifferent and didn't take him seriously at all, Gu Zi burst into tears. Perhaps she felt embarrassed in front of her adopted son again. Her face turned green and red. She suddenly rushed forward and scolded, "Why are you so angry? I told you to stop burning, didn't you hear me?!"
Xie Lian said, “Qi Rong!!!”
Before he got close, Jun Wu raised his hand and a ball of fire instantly surrounded him!
Qi Rong let out a sharp scream. Xie Lian said, "Guzi!"
With such a big fire, Qi Rong would be burned to ashes at least seriously injured, and the millet would be turned into ashes directly, right?
Pei Ming also noticed Qi Rong holding a child under his arm and wanted to help, but Jun Wu gradually gained the upper hand and he couldn't get away. Calculating the time, it was probably too late to save the child, so he said, "Emperor, there's no need to do such cruel things to a child of such age!"
But Xie Lian and he both knew that Jun Wu no longer cared about children. All he could see were his enemies and those who stood in his way. With a single swing of his palm, a ball of flame enveloped Pei Ming and sent him flying.
The many priests below exclaimed in surprise: "General Pei is on fire!"
At this moment, a torrential downpour began to fall. While it couldn't extinguish the giant's rage, it did extinguish the fire within Pei Ming. A dark figure leaped into the air from the crowd and caught the falling Pei Ming.
