Rumble!
A violent explosion suddenly rang out.
A dazzling blaze abruptly erupted, engulfing the Old Man. The flames churned as they relentlessly burned his body.
Aah!
A miserable scream came from within the flames, showing just how terrifyingly powerful they were.
Thud!
With a loud crash, the flames gradually died out, revealing the Old Man burned into charcoal.
Dao Lord Taichu let out a sigh of relief. He took the injured Yang Qianyu with him and continued onward. Before long, the two reached the mountainside.

Clang!
The blades struck the armored man's body with a piercing metallic clang, followed by his scream.
A deep wound appeared across
