In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 839 Untouchable

"hiss!"

Looking at the still-steaming liquid on the ground, the martial artists couldn't help but gasp in shock!

It can even melt sand into liquid; if this flame were to fall on a person... there probably wouldn't even be any ashes left!

"This fire is truly terrifying!"

"Never touch this fire!"

"This demonic fire is truly terrifying! It must not be touched!"

"..."

The gazes of the crowd toward Chi Yan Yi became more solemn. This giant bird not only had sharp claws that could easily pierce through the protective true energy and flesh of a third-grade martial artist, but it could also spew strange fire, which was truly terrifying!

While everyone was staring at Chi Yan Yi with surprise and uncertainty, Hao Long was also watching Xiao Yuan on the other side!

Looking at the seemingly harmless little beast in front of him, Hao Long narrowed his eyes. The next moment, he kicked off the tree behind him with his right foot and, using the rebound force, shot towards Xiao Yuan like an arrow!

"Evil beast, die!"

Hao Long roared, raised his large cleaver with both hands, and slashed down fiercely at Xiao Yuan!

"boom!"

The impact of a second-grade martial artist's full-force strike was undoubtedly astonishing. When the greatsword fell, the ground trembled slightly, dust flew up, and a crack several meters long appeared in the ground. Hao Long's greatsword was even embedded in the ground.

However, Hao Long, who had just delivered the blow, showed no joy on his face, because he could feel that his strike had not hit Xiao Yuan at all!

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Hao Long, followed by a burning sensation on his back.

Hao Long reacted almost instantly. He released his grip on the machete and pressed his entire body to the ground in a push-up position!

The next moment, a ball of flame roared past Hao Long's back and crashed straight into a large tree in front of him!

"boom!"

Flames exploded, and the tree instantly lost a section of its trunk. The lower part of the trunk remained standing because it was still connected to the roots, while the upper part of the trunk, having lost its support, first fell vertically and then collapsed with a crash!

Gazing at the massive tree that had crashed down in front of him, a bead of cold sweat slowly rolled down Hao Long's forehead. If he had reacted just a fraction of a second later, it probably wouldn't have been the tree that had fallen, but him.

Hao Long quickly braced himself with his hands on the ground, stood up, and turned to look at the little beast!

Xiao Yuan looked at Hao Long, who was completely unharmed, and a hint of human disappointment flashed across her face.

Xiao Yuan's combat experience and wisdom are undoubtedly extremely high. Therefore, when facing Hao Long, a second-grade martial artist, it did not choose to launch a frontal attack. Instead, it chose to circle around to Hao Long's back at an extremely fast speed and spew out a highly destructive python flame to launch a sneak attack on Hao Long!

However, to Xiaoyuan's disappointment, while the python's flames were indeed extremely destructive, their flight speed was still too slow. With the agility of a second-grade martial artist, it was almost impossible to be hit.

"How can this beast be so bizarre!"

Hao Long picked up his broadsword again and stared intently at the small beast in front of him. The beast's strange speed alone was enough to frighten him, but he didn't expect that this beast not only had strange speed, but could also control fire...

Having practiced martial arts for many years, Hao Long had encountered countless formidable enemies, but he had never met one as bizarre as this.

"Hey!"

Although slightly disappointed by her failed attack, Xiaoyuan quickly made another move.

With a light leap, Xiao Yuan disappeared from Hao Long's sight.

"Damn it!"

Hao Long strained to open his eyes, but found he couldn't find Xiao Yuan anywhere. He felt a chill run down his spine, gripped the large cleaver tightly, and tensed up all over!

The next moment, a flash of cold light appeared, and Hao Long's fighting instincts made him raise his broadsword to block without even thinking!

"clang!"

Xiao Yuan's sharp claws landed on the blade of the large cleaver, and her small body was flung away, disappearing from Hao Long's sight once again.

"Damn beast!"

Hao Long cursed angrily. Xiao Yuan's speed was too fast, making him feel powerless. His eyes could not catch Xiao Yuan's figure at all, which made it impossible for him to attack Xiao Yuan. He could only rely on his own sense of danger to block Xiao Yuan's attacks!

However, simply defending is not a solution. No matter how well you defend, there will always be a moment when you expose a weakness. And once that weakness is exposed, given Xiao Yuan's ability to easily break through his protective aura, he would probably be injured immediately...

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

Just as Hao Long's mind was racing, Xiao Yuan launched several more sneak attacks. Although Hao Long blocked each one with his large cleaver, Xiao Yuan was not discouraged. She continued to circle around Hao Long with ghostly speed, launching attacks from time to time, leaving Hao Long with no choice but to defend passively.

"This beast is truly strange; even Hao Long couldn't do anything about it!"

Many martial artists also noticed the scene of Hao Long being entangled by Xiao Yuan, and were extremely surprised. Hao Long was a well-known second-rank martial artist in the Nine Provinces, but unexpectedly he couldn't even do anything to a small beast...

"Everyone!"

Just then, a burly, third-rank martial artist wielding a mountain-splitting axe reminded everyone, "This monster is strange, but it's probably not very intelligent. If we just kill its master, the monster will surely retreat!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and they all turned their attention to Chen Dao and the other two.

In the minds of martial artists in Kyushu, demonic beasts are creatures with strong bodies but very low intelligence. The two demonic beasts in front of them seem to be very intelligent, but in fact, someone is remotely controlling them!

And the one remotely controlling them should be the boy next to Yang Zheng, without a doubt!

Once that boy is killed, no matter how strong the uncontrolled monsters are, we will no longer need to fear them!

Upon realizing this, a murderous intent flashed across everyone's eyes.

"Gentlemen, I'll deal with that giant bird!"

Qi Yong, another second-rank martial artist on the field, shouted, "Yang Zheng and that boy are yours to deal with!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yong took the initiative to strike, slashing out with his long sword, a streak of light shooting towards Chi Yan.

This probing attack was naturally not taken seriously by Chi Yan. It lowered its head slightly, and with a peck of its incredibly sturdy beak, the blade light shattered instantly.

At the same time, Qi Yong quickly appeared in front of Chi Yan Yi and slashed at Chi Yan Yi's neck with a fierce expression!

"Giggle!"

Despite its enormous size, Crimson Flame One is by no means clumsy!

Its nimble neck ducked low, dodging the blade's attack. Then, with a flap of its right wing, it sent Qi Yong flying backward.

Then, Chi Yan attacked swiftly, using its wings, claws, and beak to relentlessly assault Qi Yong, leaving him in a sorry state!

"Gentlemen, what are you waiting for? Make your move immediately!"

Qi Yong shouted loudly as he tried his best to defend against Chi Yan Yi's attacks.
