Who could have guessed? Just as Tie Dagang charged forward, a sharp crack rang through the air. His body spun through the air like a top struck by a whip, and he spat blood in great sprays.
It was one of the Iron Armored Beast's tentacles. When it met Tie Dagang's fist, Tie Dagang—who had always held the upper hand—was defeated in a single clash.
Just as Tie Dagang was in danger, Meng Wanzhou, who was already fighting the other two Iron Armored Beasts, was defeated almost simultaneously.
The flames spewed by the two Iron Armored Beasts were no longer the dusky blue of before. They seemed almost pure white.
Even with the formidable strength of Spiritual Root Layer Two, Meng Wanzhou couldn't easily dispel the Fire Spirit Power spewed by the Iron Armored Beasts. He could only struggle to circulate water spirit power around himself. But the flames they breathed were astonishingly powerful; the moment they touched the water spirit power Meng Wanzhou had summoned, they began to melt it away in great swaths.
"Retreat!"
Xu Yi roared, and Jiang Fei and Duan Tiandai, who were bringing up the rear, both immediately fell back.
The situation had begun to collapse from the very start. The Iron Armored Beasts were far stronger than anyone could have imagined. At this point, Jiang Fei and Duan Tiandai joining the fight would accomplish nothing—and would only create another point of failure.
Xu Yi blurred sideways, dodging the two tentacles that lashed at him like streaks of lightning. He swept out a hand, about to summon the Hun Tian Sword, when a stream of pure-white flame shot toward him like a venomous dragon.
Xu Yi hastily gathered the Hun Tian Sword's energy into a Sword Robe around himself. Then, flames surged toward him again
