Chapter 581: Chapter 564 Dragon King, Gold Devouring Ant_5
The old man bore a robust build and a fierce visage, resembling a primitive beast-man who subsisted on raw meat and blood.
“Break!”
He brandished the golden melon hammer in his hand, smashing it ruthlessly down on the copper coffin.
Bang!
The copper coffin was struck fiercely, a circle of dark energy manifesting on its surface only to be shattered instantly by the might of the golden melon hammer. The coffin lid was also catapulted away in an instant, detaching from the coffin body.
A body wrapped in dark energy flew out from the coffin, its frame rigid as a zombie.
Its specific features were indiscernible; one could only infer that the person shrouded in dark energy had a tall stature and must be extremely strong.
“Who are you? The Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect’s cowards won’t come out, so they sent you to die in their stead?”
The old man immediately recognized that this person was not the Hundred Refinements Immortal Monarch.
Qin Niu merely watched, wide-eyed.
“This is one of the two great protectors who serve beside the Immortal Venerable, known as Black Protector. His strength even surpasses mine.”
Next to him, the Immortal Master Haoxue gave Qin Niu a hint.
“I see!”
Qin Niu nodded, his understanding of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect’s strength growing.
He had assumed the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect was a newly established sect, with few top-tier powerhouses. Initially, he thought there were only two, Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch and Immortal Master Haoxue. Now it seemed that this wasn’t the case.
“Haha, your status as the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect’s Great Elder doesn’t qualify you to demand the presence of our Sect Master,” the Black Protector’s voice boomed, rough and resonant like the clashing of metal, echoing thunderously.
“Insolence!”
The old man’s complexion turned dark instantly.
The Earth Dragon, meanwhile, spit a mouthful of flame at the Black Protector. This was Samadhi True Fire, which could burn anything.
The black energy around the protector’s body crackled and hissed, rapidly dissolving.
“Go!”
Seeing the Black Protector at a disadvantage, Immortal Master Haoxue hurriedly took action, his hexagonal ice shields flying out directly to block the Earth Dragon’s flames.
The Samadhi True Fire was indeed extraordinary, rendering the seemingly strong ice shields as frail as foam.
The flames could easily burn through three to four ice shields in the blink of an eye.
Nevertheless, this bought the Black Protector a brief respite. He swiftly escaped the Earth Dragon’s attack range and landed beside Immortal Master Haoxue.
“Haoxue, thanks!”
His tone was a bit gruff, as if he reluctantly acknowledged the favor from Immortal Master Haoxue.
“It’s nothing!”
Immortal Master Haoxue’s gaze locked onto the Earth Dragon above, his spells continuously changing as he controlled more ice and snow to form new shields against its fire. However, the Samadhi True Fire from the Earth Dragon was too powerful, and his ice shield spell clearly couldn’t withstand it.
As the flames pressed closer and closer, Immortal Master Haoxue had no choice but to retreat repeatedly.
“Huoyun Ancestor, what are you waiting for? Act now!” the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect’s Great Elder commanded coldly and unceremoniously.
Huoyun Ancestor, a formidable Earth Immortal and head of a sect, was a figure admired by thousands. Now being so starkly reprimanded, he dared not show any displeasure; instead, he obediently performed the Fire Serpent Technique, attacking Immortal Master Haoxue and the others alongside the Earth Dragon.
His Fire Serpent Technique was far more formidable than Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch’s Great Fireball Technique.
The terrifying fire serpent swept toward them.
Fear flashed across Immortal Master Haoxue’s face. He was already losing the battle against the Earth Dragon’s Samadhi True Fire, and with Huoyun Ancestor’s Fire Serpent Technique added to the mix, he stood no chance at all.
The Black Protector on the side denounced the foes, “Have you no shame? Two Earth Immortals and an Earth Dragon ganging up on our two Immortal Monarchs!”
“Stop your noise!”
Furious, the Great Elder brandished the golden melon hammer at the Black Protector.
“Qin lad, run for your life, as far as you can!”
Immortal Master Haoxue was quite fond of his newly accepted disciple. Seeing the extreme danger, he immediately told Qin Niu to escape.
The Black Protector cast an unexpected glance at Qin Niu.
Until then, he hadn’t given Qin Niu so much as a cursory look. A mere Immortal Master, indeed, hardly merited the attention of someone of his stature, an Immortal Monarch.
“Master, let me try that Earth Dragon’s Samadhi True Fire!”
Far from fleeing, Qin Niu unexpectedly took the initiative to strike, leading the Black Protector to wonder if the boy had gone mad.
If the Earth Dragon’s Samadhi True Fire were so easily withstood, the two Immortal Monarchs wouldn’t have been forced into such dire straits.
Nevertheless, Qin Niu fearlessly charged toward the dragon’s breath that had pierced through the ice shields.
Immortal Master Haoxue’s heart clenched instantly, while the Black Protector watched in shock, “Aren’t you known for not taking disciples? When did you take in this lad?”
“I just took him on today!”
Immortal Master Haoxue had no intention of conversing with the Black Protector and instead desperately manipulated his spells, creating more ice shields to withstand the Earth Dragon’s breath, hoping to lessen the sustained damage to Qin Niu.
Little did he know, as Qin Niu charged into the dragon’s breath, he extended his left hand to block it, an act that seemed like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
“The fool, he’s courting death!”
Huoyun Ancestor scoffed in disdain.
It was only because Qin Niu had not only escaped from Chi Xiao Immortal Monarch’s enclosure but also severely wounded him, that Huoyun Ancestor took a slight interest in the boy. He suspected Qin Niu might possess an unknown treasure of great significance.
Soon enough, Qin Niu reappeared from within the dragon’s breath, standing tall as before. The surrounding ice and snow melted into water, and then evaporated into steam, revealing a deep pit. One could even faintly glimpse the rocky strata below.
He smacked his lips, an expression of unsatiated desire as he provocatively looked toward the Earth Dragon.
“You little crawler, keep it coming!”
Both Immortal Master Haoxue and the Black Protector nearly collapsed upon hearing this.
Just what was the background of this boy? He could withstand the Samadhi True Fire breath from the Earth Dragon with such ease, and he appeared utterly unfazed.
