"Wenbin, put away the sacred fire quickly!"
"It's unbearably hot!"
"By the way, you said this little girl is a phoenix. Does that mean..."
Lin Dong couldn't finish the following words.
Because where Mo Bei had been originally, a beam of light had shot up into the sky.
"Oh no!"
"The signal has been sent. The Great Emperor of the Qilin clan is coming back!"
Sure enough, just as Lin Dong's voice faded, a crack slowly appeared beside the beam of light.
It's not hard to tell that the strength of this summoned Great Emperor shouldn't be very strong.
At least, he is much weaker than Zhao Yuan'er.
After all, when Zhao Yuan'er tears through the void, she always does it in one go, and it's never this strenuous.
However, no matter how weak he is, he is still a Great Emperor.
He may not be considered much in the eyes of the truly powerful, but to kill them is definitely not much more difficult than crushing an ant.
"Don't resist!"
"I'm the strongest and the fastest here. So it's the best choice for me to lead you to escape!"
Hearing this, Long Ji subconsciously felt a sense of resistance.
She, who was well - acquainted with Cao Wenbin's methods, naturally knew that the Swallowing - heaven Pagoda was about to make an appearance.
But she also knew that Cao Wenbin was right.
So she suppressed the discomfort in her heart.
"Retract."
Soon, only Cao Wenbin was left on the scene.
Immediately after, he exerted the Divine - movement and Hundred - transformation Movement Technique to the extreme.
With the cultivation level of the quasi - saint initial stage and the assistance of the Golden - thread Sun - chasing Boots, Cao Wenbin at this moment was like teleporting. In the blink of an eye, he was already over a hundred li away.
Originally, Cao Wenbin thought that there wouldn't be any more accidents.
After all, in "The Dragon King in Another World", Lin Dong, with the peak cultivation level of the Nirvana Realm, could escape. So he, a pseudo - quasi - saint, should be able to manage it as well.
However, he forgot that Lin Dong was the chosen one.
He could turn danger into safety in everything.
But what about him...
According to the original plot, the grass on his grave should be one meter high by now.
So, without any suspense, an accident soon occurred.
"Old ancestor, that guy has snatched the Dewi Sacred Fire. Come out quickly!"
Watching Cao Wenbin running farther and farther away and about to disappear, Mo Bei became anxious.
And as soon as he said this, a roar immediately sounded from the other side of the crack in the space.
"Shameless thief, you're courting death!"
As the voice fell, the speed at which the space crack expanded immediately increased significantly.
Obviously, the Great Emperor on the other side of the crack must have used some secret method.
"Damn it!"
Cao Wenbin was furious.
He knew that he had to figure out a way. Otherwise, he would never be able to escape.
"We must block him on that side."
"If there's no spatial constraint, even ten of me wouldn't be enough for him to kill."
After making up his mind, Cao Wenbin took out the Raksha Sword.
Of course, he didn't expect this imperial weapon to help him defend against the enemy. Instead...
"Sword - nurturing Technique!"
Yes, Cao Wenbin took out another trump card.
A trump card that he had never used since he obtained it.
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed.
The sword qi that had been nurtured for several months, once it emerged, shocked the world.
Wherever the sword light passed, time and space were all distorted.
Not to mention others, even Cao Wenbin, the instigator, was stunned at this moment.
"Gulp."
"Is this the sword qi I slashed out?"
And just as Cao Wenbin was in self - doubt, Mo Bei, who had been roaring furiously just now, had already been turned into pieces of flesh all over the sky by the aftershock of the sword qi.
As for the main body of the sword qi, it continued to rush towards the space crack.
"Serves you right. You big mouth!"
"I just don't understand. You're just guarding the door. You're not even paid. Why are you risking your life like this?"
After a fierce rant, Cao Wenbin turned around and left.
Without any delay.
Because he knew that although this attack was powerful, it could at most cause some trouble to the Great Emperor.
To completely stop him from coming over was just wishful thinking.
Of course, if this sword qi had been nurtured for a few years, that would be a different story.
And indeed, as Cao Wenbin had expected.
This sword qi only delayed the Great Emperor for three seconds.
However, for Cao Wenbin, this was already enough.
When the Great Emperor of the Qilin clan, whose eyes were almost popping out with anger, arrived, Cao Wenbin had already stepped one foot into the secret realm.
"Goodbye."
"Ah..."
"Thief, I, Mo Yuan, swear that even if it costs me my soul, I will kill you!"
At this moment, Mo Yuan was so angry that his right leg started to paw the ground.
This was a precursor to him charging when he was in his beast form.
But unfortunately, he soon lost his target.
...
Inside the secret realm.
Cao Wenbin, whose cultivation level had dropped back to the late Nirvana stage, released Long Ji and the others with a wave of his hand.
After a short period of adaptation, Lin Dong rushed to Cao Wenbin in two steps.
First, he reached out his hands and grabbed Cao Wenbin's arms. Then, with great excitement on his face, he asked, "There are two Great Emperors locked in your pagoda?"
"Tell me quickly. How did you catch them?"
The Great Emperors he mentioned were the two from the Zhang family.
The corners of his mouth turned up. Then, Cao Wenbin said smugly, "They are the pigs caught by Sister Yuan'er for me, for my cultivation."
Lin Dong was stunned.
But soon, he jumped up. "Sister Yuan'er?"
"Damn it. You got Zhao Yuan'er?"
