"Good! Good! Good!"
Hearing Lan Yu insult him like that, Lu Nian flew into such a rage that he nearly suffered a brain hemorrhage and passed out.
"Go to hell!!!"
Lu Nian's roar and the dazzling Light Magic constellation showed that his fury had reached its boiling point.
His rage burned away his reason, and the magic energy inside him poured out wildly. A dense shower of light rained down from the sky.
There was no need for Lan Yu to defend himself. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger beat its wings and dodged Lu Nian's Light Fall Myriad Zhang.
"Lu Nian, you're useless! That attack didn't even touch a single hair on my Summoned Beast's crotch. Have you been jerking off too much, or do you have a thing for men? Is that what you and your little brother Lu Zhenghe get up to?"
"Damn! Now that I think about it, I might've uncovered a shocking secret."
"Here, here, Lu Nian, you mangy dog. All you do is bark. Why don't you sink your teeth into me? Can you even manage that?"
"Aw, if you can't get it up, go find your Indian sister-in-law and sleep with her for a year. Maybe then you'll get the hang of it, achieve divine mastery, and look down on everyone. That would be the perfect way to fulfill your dream of ruling the world!"
"Useless! Useless Lu Nian, you're good for nothing, but you sure are a first-rate daydreamer."
"Hey, that Wing Magic Tool on your back looks pretty good. I'm clearly the one who should be using it. Are you going to hand it over, or should I have the fierce tiger beneath me tear it off your back?"
"..."
While Lan Yu kept harassing Lu Nian with his trash talk, Zhan Kong had already caught up with Zhao Manyan and the others as they fled.
Seeing the handsome man with his prominent stubble, Zhao Manyan and the others grew intensely wary.
"Zhan... Zhan Kong..."
When the weakened Mu Ningxue saw that it was Zhan Kong, hope suddenly lit in her eyes.
"Quick... go save Mo Fan. He lured those devils into Jinlin Desolate City to save us!"
"And Lan Yu!" Bai Tingting hurriedly added.
"Right, Lan Yu too!"
Seeing that Mu Ningxue knew the man and that he had come to rescue them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After learning what had happened from the students, Zhan Kong beat his Wind Wings and soared into the air. "Head straight toward the Safe Zone from here. There's no danger along the way, so hurry and get out of here. I'll go save them!"
With that, Zhan Kong shot into the sky and headed straight for Jinlin Desolate City.
"Let's get moving," Zhao Manyan said.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger carried Lan Yu ahead, with Lu Nian in hot pursuit behind them.
They kept a steady distance between them, just beyond the range of Lu Nian's magic.
Lan Yu kept firing off insults, aiming every one straight at Lu Nian's heart.
"Lu Nian, your crimes are heinous! Stop this at once!"
Suddenly, an angry roar rang out in the distance.
At the sound, the three figures caught up in their game of chase turned their heads and saw a man with stubble riding his Wind Wings.
Zhan Kong?
The furious Lu Nian came to his senses a little.
Wasn't this guy in charge of the Southern Military Department? Why had he come here?
This operation had been conducted in secret. How had the military found out?
Had someone tipped them off?
Could it have been...
At the thought, Lu Nian grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Zhan Kong, you couldn't even protect Bo City, yet you dare dream of standing against me?"
"Lu Nian, I advise you to surrender at once, or else..."
"Or else what? You'll make me pay? Don't make me laugh! Do you think you're still the same spirited man you once were? Do you know someone's still waiting for you beneath the Tianshan Rift? You don't even have the courage to go collect their remains!"
Lu Nian's words struck straight at Zhan Kong's most vulnerable spot, and his face darkened.
"Tsk..." Lan Yu sucked in a breath from afar and said to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, "Why does this sound so familiar?"
"Hmph."
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger snorted, as if to say: Didn't its poop-scooper just use trash talk to stab that man right in the heart?
"Bastard!!!"
In his fury, Zhan Kong held nothing back.
Crimson stars appeared rapidly around him, linking into star paths that formed a Star Map.
Then one Star Map merged with another, forming a three-dimensional constellation.
Zhan Kong stood proudly within the magnificent constellation, like a ruler who could burn the world to ashes. Every gesture unleashed flames capable of destroying heaven and earth!
The constellation was complete, and the magic appeared!
Zhan Kong raised both hands, and a ring of flame formed from the Fire Element constellation soared into the air.
The blazing ring gradually enveloped the whole area, as magnificent as the setting sun.
"Heavenly Flame Funeral!!"
As Zhan Kong's furious cry rang out, vast waves of flame, like meteors tearing through the sky, rained down in a dense shower.
"Pathetic little trick!" Lu Nian sneered.
"Eye of the Rock Demon—Petrify!"
In an instant, a strange petrifying force surged out, and the blue sky and white clouds between them were blanketed in gray.
Petrifying dust filled the air. Within seconds, the low-hanging white clouds turned to stone, then crumbled into gray-white powder and scattered in the wind.
If even the clouds could be petrified, the falling fire rain was no exception.
Lan Yu clicked his tongue. He'd planned to kill Lu Nian and feed him to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but now that Zhan Kong had arrived, he couldn't do that.
Since Zhan Kong had Lu Nian occupied, Lan Yu didn't hesitate to turn and leave.
Besides, the Blood Li Zi was on Jiang Yi. He could just kill them and take it instead.
Soon, Lan Yu rode the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to find Mo Fan in Jinlin Desolate City.
"Hey, did you shake off that pack of devils?"
Hearing Lan Yu's voice, Mo Fan remained sprawled on a slab of concrete without even lifting his head.
"Yeah. Now I can sit back and enjoy watching those beasts die without a trace!"
"By the way, where'd their leader go?" Mo Fan asked.
Lan Yu hopped down from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's back. "He's fighting a military commander named Zhan Kong."
"The chief instructor?!"
Mo Fan froze. He'd never imagined Zhan Kong would come to this godforsaken place. Had he learned about the devils' plot and rushed here to rescue them?
"Wait, weren't you supposed to be taking Mu Ningxue and the others away? Why'd you come here?" Mo Fan pressed.
"Don't worry, they're safe. I wouldn't have come here otherwise," Lan Yu said.
Hearing that Mu Ningxue was safe, Mo Fan finally let out the breath he'd been holding.
The two sat there, quietly watching Jiang Yi and the others battle the Lizard Skull Giant Demon horde, occasionally tossing out a comment or two.
"She actually survived?" Mo Fan couldn't help exclaiming.
He hadn't expected Jiang Yi to lead the group out of the Demon Beast tide alive.
"Want to kick them while they're down?"
