"Retreat?"
Xiao Tianyang's lips curled upward when he heard their words.
"Without my permission today, no one is allowed to leave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Red Hare unleashed a blast of scorching Dragon Breath, lunging forward like a savage beast!
The Black-robed Venerable, who had been retreating, could only step forward to block it.
When water and fire collided, one side was destined to gain an absolute advantage.

Because if he did not, Xiao Tianyang's next target would be him.
The two of them could not defeat their opponent even together. Facing him
