Bai Pu was blocked, unable to catch up with Haotian for the moment.
However, Bai Pu also had teammates.
A virtual image of a golden ribbon flew out, entangling Haotianâs ankle, suddenly tightening.
It was Yuan Yue who intervened to stop him.
Haotian nearly stumbled, and naturally, the Ice Path Charge skill was interrupted.
Breaking free from the binding of the golden ribbonâs virtual image, Haotian leapt up suddenly, grabbing hold of one of the Melt Fire Wings of the Molten Rock Dragon.
Boom!
Anvil unleashed a Flying Strike Hammer, with a Thunder Hammer Shadow carrying a powerful shockwave, striking Haotian on the forehead.
Although Haotian used Decoupling, Anvilâs timing was precise, just as Haotian was leaping to the highest point, ready to climb.
This blow ultimately interrupted the movement, and Haotianâs fingers were just centimeters away, helplessly falling down.
Several Awakened from the Haotian Clan launched attacks at Yuan Yue and Anvil. They had also realized the tough nature of these Special Service Officers.
Suddenly, You Bai pulled out a white, round object, tossing it into the air!
In an instant, sword shadows fluttered, and a small white flying sword zipped through multiple spaces like Instant Teleportation, landing on a Haotian Clan Awakened.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
Like spring silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves, amidst the rustling as fine as a spring rain, that Awakenedâs figure floated upwards, stabbed rapidly by the white flying sword, with blood gushing from his body, forming a blood mist in the air, then evaporating in the underground palaceâs scorching environment!
"C-level Golden Artifact, Chaotic Void Sword!"
Another burly Awakened from the Haotian Clan turned pale, quickly raised a shield, and rushed towards his companion.
The white flying sword seemed to randomly select targets, with a new target within its attack range, it flew over, producing another series of sizzling sounds.
The burly Awakened seemed quite foolish, but it was actually the only way to save his companion. By enduring the white flying swordâs attack himself, his comrade naturally broke free from the floating state, given a chance to catch his breath!
Three Haotian Clan Awakened simultaneously charged into the attack range of the white flying sword, enduring a full ten seconds of furious stabbings.
They all ended up surviving, each injured but not dead.
You Bai didnât exhibit any heartache for using the C-level Golden Artifact.
His objective was already accomplished.
Bai Pu gained nearly ten seconds of unobstructed time!
Almost simultaneously, Bai Pu stepped on Gang Wind, while Haotian conjured an ice chain, both grabbing hold of the Molten Rock Dragon, landing on the dragonâs back with force.
Compared to the Molten Rock Dragon, they were like two overambitious mantises hunting a giant eagle.
Bai Pu took the first stand on the spine, seeing Haotian climbing up, he raised his sword to strike.
Haotian rolled on the Molten Rock Dragonâs scorching spine, Bai Puâs sword blade striking among the dragonâs back scales. Kicking the blade, his continuous slashes were dodged by Haotianâs lazy rolling, leaving nothing but sword marks on the dragonâs back.
The Molten Rock Dragon roared skyward, flapping its wings to fly high, suddenly crashing into a solid molten rock pillar supporting the underground palace.
Crash!
The pillar shattered, and balls of molten rock fell from the dome.
The few below didnât have time to fight, scattering to dodge. Being hit by these molten rock balls, even if not dead, would result in severe injuries.
The tremendous impact from the Molten Rock Dragonâs crash nearly threw Bai Pu and Haotian off. Both struggled hard to grab the dragonâs protruding bone fissures, barely avoiding falling down.
"Gangxin! This place is probably going to collapse!" Yuan Yue screeched.
With the Molten Rock Dragon frantically flying and crashing everywhere, the underground palace space had one load-bearing molten rock pillar after another breaking.
Balls of molten rock, accompanied by sand and dust, rained down in showers.
Whether it was an illusion, Bai Pu felt the bubbling frequency in the magma lake rising, and the surrounding temperature was soaring rapidly.
"The volcano is about to erupt!"
Bai Pu shouted, "You guys go!"
As he spoke, Bai Pu caught the Molten Rock Dragonâs bone with one hand, holding a great sword in the other, slashing fiercely at Haotian.
At this point, with the Molten Rock Dragon madly flying and crashing, it was already impossible to maintain balance, naturally making it impossible for Haotian to dodge.
Even with the superior swordsmanship specialty from Genetic Fusion and high power assessment, Bai Pu couldnât fully maintain balance; now slashing single-handed, the force wasnât even a third of usual, unable to perform the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts.
Haotian endured one slash, then a second, howling in pain. Ignoring it, he directly activated the Mystical Arts skill: Ice Wheel Dance!
Six black ice blades crazily slashed at the surroundings.
The power of an Advanced Awakened was indeed extraordinary, these six black ice blades had extremely high cutting sharpness, leaving fine ice spikes afterwards, causing further damage and severe bleeding effects!
This must be a new special effect from upgrading the skill to Advanced.
Bai Pu was grazed a couple of times, but it was no big deal.
Haotianâs Ice Wheel Dance spun wildly without purpose, causing the most severe injury evidently to the Molten Rock Dragon.
The Molten Rock Dragon roared longingly, with its voice seemingly carrying a mysterious resonance frequency.
The magma lake suddenly churned.
The surrounding air compressed to the extreme in this small space, the natural consequence being...
Eruption!
...
Crash!
A distant giant noise transmitted.
Blood Spider and Yuan Hall, who were hurrying to the Giant Fern Volcano, suddenly halted, feeling the frantic trembling of the earth!
"Look ahead!"
Yuan Hall exclaimed.
The Giant Fern Volcano erupted, a pillar of crimson magma shooting straight into the sky, with thick smoke and rolling dust, painting an apocalyptic scene.
"Gangxin and the others are still inside!" Blood Spiderâs little face was full of anxiety.
"The Spiritual Camera isnât responding, it must have been damaged during the intense battle." Yuan Hall frowned, "Now itâs only known that inside the underground palace were Haotianâs Clan Awakened, a Molten Rock Dragon, and Gangxin and the others. But donât worry too much, Gangxin and the others all have forcibly distributed escape artifacts from the bureau temporarily."
The two waited for the earthquake to end, hurrying toward the volcanic explosion area.
The giant fern plants ahead had already been ignited.
The dinosaur groups residing in the Giant Fern Mountain Range were fleeing. Even fierce carnivorous dinosaurs had no intention of stopping to attack when seeing Blood Spider and Yuan Hall.
One of these was a rarely seen Double-Sailed Dragon in the area, brushing past Blood Spider and escaping headfirst.
"Hiss... Thatâs..." Yuan Hall looked up at the sky, his eyes widening unconsciously.
Blood Spider looked up, equally jaw-dropped.
Amidst the rolling magma pillars and thick smoke, a whole-body red Molten Rock Dragon flew through the sky, almost brushing the magma pillar, gliding towards the distant Henggu Plain!
"Did you see clearly?" Yuan Hall said, "It seemed like there were two small black dots on that dragon."
"I... I didnât see very clearly. It seems Gangxin is on that dragonâs back." Blood Spider spoke softly.
"Chase!"
