The coiled dragon soared into the sky, letting out a deafening roar.
Lu Jianbi's wisp of remnant soul was almost shattered, and he quickly hid inside the Crimson Flame Immortal Lord's battle armor.
Crimson Flame Immortal Lord's expression was also not good; his entire face appeared extremely solemn.
He flipped his hand, and a red-tasseled spear appeared in his grasp, making his knuckles look even paler.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he unconsciously swallowed.
He had only ever felt this powerful and terrifying pressure from one person: the Heavenly Emperor.
He couldn't help but wonder if the rumors were true.
Legend has it that the Heavenly Emperor once had a sworn brother surnamed Mo, whose given name was simply "Long". He was a demon who entered the Dao and was so powerful that he was named the God of War.
The two joined forces to defeat the demon army and usher in a golden age of peace.
In terms of strength and military achievements, Mo Ye should be the ruler of the Heavenly Realm.
However, he suddenly betrayed the immortal realm and was eventually imprisoned in a snake coffin by the Heavenly Emperor.
Crimson Flame Immortal bit his tongue, blood filling his mouth and a strong metallic taste assaulting his nostrils.
His eyes were bloodshot, and a strong fighting spirit arose in his heart.
So what if he was once the God of War of the Heavenly Realm?
He, Chi Yan, is the strongest in the Immortal Realm right now!
He stared intently at the dragon in mid-air, grinning maliciously and revealing his blood-stained teeth.
He brandished the red-tasseled spear with both hands, and the spear seemed to transform into a fire dragon as he soared upwards.
The dragon slightly raised its eyes, let out a cold snort, and coiled its body into human form.
Mo Ye raised one hand slightly, placing a palm horizontally in front of him.
The oncoming fire dragon seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of air, unable to advance even an inch further.
Upon seeing this, Immortal Lord Crimson Flame roared and activated the immortal energy within his body, causing the fire dragon to become even larger and more ferocious.
Mo Ye tilted his head slightly, his bones making a soft cracking sound.
The invisible wall of energy instantly transformed into blades of energy, shredding the fire dragon completely, leaving not even a wisp of flame behind.
Crimson Flame Immortal Lord took three steps back, his eyes filled with astonishment, as he heard Mo Ye's cold voice.
"An ant trying to shake a tree is laughable and shows a lack of self-awareness."
These were the words he had said to Kui Kui earlier, but he never expected to be proven wrong so quickly.
An immense pressure emanated from above the Crimson Flame Immortal Lord's head, and with a "thud," he was crushed to the ground.
His knees slammed into the ground below, creating a huge crater.
"Pfft!" He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood also seeped from his eyes, ears, and nose.
He caught a glimpse of Mo Ye landing out of the corner of his eye, and beyond fear, he felt admiration—admiration for the strongest.
Mo Ye didn't even glance at him, but went straight to Kui Kui and picked her up.
Mang Tianlong also got up, knelt down in front of Mo Ye, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master!"
"I am not your master, so please do not address me like that."
Mang Tianlong frowned and said, "Immortal Lord is engaged to my family head, so we should address him as Lord."
Mo Ye glanced at him sideways.
Mang Tianlong immediately lowered his eyes, fell silent, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, and dared not even breathe.
"Your Mang family deserves much credit for my escape. I will save her. As for the marriage, doesn't the Mang family know who she loves?"
Mangtian lowered his head even further, feeling that his robes were completely soaked with sweat.
Trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin is utterly futile.
Upon hearing the two talking, Lü Jianbi decided to escape. He quietly slipped out from behind the armor of the Crimson Flame Immortal Lord and immediately drifted away into the distance.
Mo Ye didn't even raise his head, and made a grabbing motion in the air.
Did I give you permission to leave?
Lu Jianbi's last remaining wisp of soul immediately stopped in place, and upon hearing this, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He prostrated himself on the ground, kneeling in obeisance, and said in a trembling voice, "Immortal...Immortal Lord, spare my life..."
"Like man, like woman. They all have such soft bones."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Jianbi turned to ashes, leaving not even a trace.
Mo Ye's gaze fell on Immortal Lord Chi Yan, but he left without saying a word, taking Kui Kui with him.
Kui Kui stared at his handsome jawline, lost in thought.
Upon noticing her gaze, Mo Ye seemed like a different person; his eyes softened, and even his voice was as warm as the early summer sun.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt a lot? Hang in there a little longer."
Kui Kui shook his head, and in a daze, Mo Ye had already brought Kui Kui to the Shangqing Temple on Maoshan Mountain.
The first to sense it was the True Man of Non-Action.
He bowed to Mo Ye, who nodded slightly and carried Kui Kui to the room where Kui Kui was staying.
