Half a month later, the ground in a corner of the hall shook violently, and two furtive heads poked out, both pairs of eyes carrying traces of exhaustion.
"Old Bull, get the spirit herbs, quick!"
"Moo!!" Black Bull leaped out of the tunnel and rushed toward Nanmu Leaf.
Roar! Roar!
This demonic beast reacted far faster than the White Baleful Leopard. It immediately sensed someone touching the Nanmu Leaf and turned toward the hall.
Fireball Technique!
Chen Xun was startled, a rare solemnity appearing in his eyes. Huge fireballs surged forth one after another, forming a towering wall of fire that blocked it outside.
The demonic beast let out pained shrieks, but the crimson in its eyes deepened. A strange barrier slowly isolated the sea of flames.
"Damn!" Chen Xun's pupils shrank as he kept casting spells, turning his head to roar, "Old Bull, are you done yet?!"
"Moo!"
Roar! Roar!
The demonic beast suddenly burst from the sea of flames, baring its fangs as it lunged at Chen Xun. A gigantic palm rose from its claws, about to come crashing down and smash Chen Xun into pieces!
Suddenly, a huge figure shot out and immediately tackled Chen Xun back into the tunnel.
Boom! Roar!
A thunderous blast reverberated through the entire tunnel, deafening to the ears, accompanied by the demonic beast's unwilling roars.
"Move, Old Bull."
"Moo!"
Chen Xun and Black Bull broke out in cold sweat as they rode their swords through the tunnel. The passage behind them was continuously collapsing, showing just how terrifyingly strong that demonic beast was.
They burst out of the tunnel. After reaching a safe spot, Chen Xun muttered indignantly, "Damn it, if I weren't worried about that huge crowd of cultivators outside, I would've had to teach that demonic beast a lesson."
