Heaven Defying Emperor

"Hmm? What was going on? The demonic beast tide has actually retreated? " Tie Lang could not help but feel greatly surprised.

"Iron Wolf? This... What exactly happened here? " Shangguan Xiaoyue shouted.

Because she had consumed a pill to recover her strength, she had recovered about seventy to eighty percent. When she opened her eyes, she saw Tie Lang standing several meters away in a daze.

"The demonic beasts have retreated? "What's going on?" When the other two heard Shangguan Xiaoyue's shout, they also opened their eyes and looked at the scene in front of them in shock.

"Oh? He … He actually obtained the Light Jade Key? " The handsome Biyun Sect disciple suddenly saw the golden dot of light on top of Tie Lang's head and involuntarily cried out in alarm.

"As expected! It seemed that Tie Lang's luck was pretty good. What? There are two people from Nine Dragons Sect here, do you want to forcibly take them away? Moreover, it was Tie Lang who saved you just now! " Shangguan Xiaoyue's expression changed as she spoke in a deep tone.

Tie Lang hurried like he was flying. Just as he got close, he heard Shangguan Xiaoyue's words and his face changed slightly.

"Forced? How is this possible? Even though experiential learning from explorations can compete to the death, one still has to be principled, and one's grudges have to be distinct! If it wasn't for Tie Lang, I, Da Xuan, would have already died here. "In addition, senior brother Haotian has a very good relationship with me. I know that he is very dissatisfied with brother Ironwolf. Later, we can discuss this with senior brother Haotian …"

"Humph!" And, the Black Wood Sect has also calculated a disciple with conscience! " Shangguan Xiaoyue snorted and said.

"I will have to trouble Tie Lang to save me this time. I will not say thanks for this great favor!" If there's anything I need help with, I can come to the Biyun Sect to find me anytime. I will do my best to help. Also, now that you have the key, you will naturally become the target of other people, so you need to be careful along the way. It would be best to choose a concealed place to sneak out of the secret realm's canyon! "Perhaps having someone to help you is the best …" Finished speaking, Yun Lingzi's gaze drifted towards Shangguan Xiaoyue, the meaning in his words obvious.

"This is our Nine Dragons Sect's own matter, there is no need for you two to worry. Tie Lang is representing our Nine Dragons Sect, I will naturally always be by his side! If there's nothing else, let's part ways here! It's best if we don't meet again on the road! " Shangguan Xiaoyue replied coldly.

"Hmm, with Miss Shangguan's protection, it should be much safer! "Since that's the case, we will take our leave first and see if we have the luck to obtain a light jade key elsewhere!"

The two youngsters didn't waste any time on words. They got up and flew forward.

"You … "Why aren't you leaving?"

"Why? I said I would protect you! From now on, I will protect you! "

"Ugh …" "No, I really don't need it. I can do it myself."

"Hee hee …" If you had said that earlier, I would not have followed you. But now, he couldn't! There are two reasons: Firstly, you saved my life, I, Shangguan Xiaoyue, have always been one to repay favors, and I have paid you back by following by your side to protect you; secondly, you came here on behalf of the Nine Dragons Sect to gain experience, every single light jade key is extremely precious, as long as one person obtains it, they have to use everyone's power to protect me! This was for the benefit of the sect. Hence, whether it is in public or in private, I will stay by your side until you safely enter the Secret Realm! "

"This …" Tie Lang was left speechless for a moment …

After this incident, Shangguan Xiaoyue's heart was moved. Her attitude towards Tie Lang suddenly changed, and she started to act like a big sister, insisting to travel with him!

Tie Lang was speechless and could not refute his words. In desperation, Tie Lang could only agree.

When Tie Lang told Shangguan Xiaoyue that he was going to chase after the locust swarm, he had indeed shocked her. However, Iron Wolf did not object as he recalled his performance at the locust attack. She hid behind a huge rock and changed into a clean set of clothes. Then, together with the Iron Wolf, they madly chased after the retreating fiendish locusts.

Tie Lang's speed was astonishing, and Shangguan Xiaoyue was not slow either. In less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them had already caught up to the horde of demon fire locusts. The red bead in Tie Lang's hand once again released a strange purple light, continuously absorbing the Demon Fire locusts into it.

As the number of flames engulfed it increased, the bead also became hotter and hotter. In the end, Iron Wolf began to feel the ball burning hot in his hand.

"This bead …" Shangguan Xiaoyue was surprised, she had not expected the pearl in Tie Lang's hand to be so powerful. Swallowing his saliva, he asked, "Was it not because of the pearl in your hand that caused the demon fire locust to retreat?"

"Hehe …" I don't know about that either. Maybe! "

"What pearl is this? Where did you get it?" Can you give it to me? The conditions are up to you! "

"Give it to you?" Tie Lang could not help but have a serious face as he said, "Don't make such a joke. This was created by a bird that was always by my side." I've always thought of him as my best brother! His name is Little Can!

"Birds …" Brother? Are you sure you don't have a fever? " Shangguan Xiaoyue was surprised.

Tie Lang knew that this was not something that could be explained in a few sentences, and immediately ignored Shangguan Xiaoyue, focusing on killing. If he could help Little Rascal recover earlier, he would undoubtedly gain a great deal of strength.

"Hmm? "Here, the temperature has suddenly risen by a lot, and the ground under our feet has also changed. Could it be that we're about to reach the nest of the Demon Fire Locust?" Tie Lang muttered to himself.

After walking for another seven to eight miles, they finally saw that the locust turned into a red river and flowed towards the top of a low, red hill. It seemed like a small volcano. The hill was not very tall, but it was emitting a terrifying temperature. Within a circumference of fifty miles, the grassland was completely covered in red. It was completely desert, and not a single blade of grass grew. From time to time, waves of unbearable heat would be emitted from the ground.

At the foot of the hill, more than seventy percent of the area was covered with streams of red lava.

"Ah?" Here... I know what this place is! Tie Lang, let's go back quickly! This place is extremely dangerous! "

"There is indeed an exceptionally dangerous aura hidden here." Tie Lang's sharp perception noticed this point, and he couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Do you know where we are?"

"I heard from my sect's disciples that this place was one of the most dangerous places within the Black Forest. It is said that there is a very powerful fire type Spiritual Beast inside. Without the strength of an Intermediate Soul Martial Disciple, one would die without a doubt if they were to encounter it. " Speaking to this point, Shangguan Xiaoyue's face showed worry. She continued, "The demon fire locust attack this time is obviously related to this spirit beast. You used this pearl to disperse the beast tide, maybe you have already alerted that terrifying spirit beast. "Once it comes out, we …"

"Fire attributed spirit beast?" Do you know what it is? "

Shangguan Xiaoyue was shocked to find that when she heard that there might be a fire-attributed spiritual beast here, not only was Tie Lang not nervous at all, his eyes even showed extreme excitement. It was as if he had heard that there was some kind of rare treasure.

"He's simply a madman!" Shangguan Xiaoyue thought to herself. Although she did not know the reason, but she could see that Tie Lang was planning to provoke that scary fellow! Of course she didn't know that to Iron Wolf, the fire attribute spirit beast core was superior to ordinary treasures!

In his estimation, a single spirit beast pill should be enough to completely restore Little Rascal. Since he met her, it was impossible for him to not snatch her away.

"You … "It can't be that you really want to …"

"Congratulations, your answer is correct!" Tie Lang's eyes lit up. He took out the key and handed it to Shangguan Xiaoyue, saying, "I want to go down to the crater to take a look. You just need to wait there, I'll leave this key here with you for now!"

"Are you crazy? There was a spirit beast underneath! Aren't you clearly going to die? "

"Hehe!" Even if I can't kill it, it won't be able to do anything to me if I want to escape! "Rest assured, just keep some distance away and find a secluded place!"

"No, it's too dangerous!" If you want to go, then I'll go with you! "

"Hehe, I'm sorry. I already have a girl I love! "Even if you intend to die with me, you won't have the chance to do so in this life …" Tie Lang chuckled. With a quick movement of his body, he dashed towards the top of the hill.

"You …" Shangguan Xiaoyue stomped her foot in anger. "However, if Tie Lang wasn't by her side, she really wouldn't have the courage to rush down the volcano." He said he already had a girl he loved? "Who could it be …"

Shangguan Xiaoyue felt a sense of loss in her heart. She looked at the volcano's crater, then looked at the bright jade key in her hand, and finally gritted her teeth and walked to a relatively hidden place not far away. Grasping the thin white Sang fist tightly, her ample chest heaved up and down as she angrily cursed: "Humph! Madman! "Damned Iron Wolf, if you don't come out alive, I won't forgive you!"

"..."

The temperature was growing higher and higher, and the dangerous aura was drawing closer and closer.

The surrounding temperature of the magma river below the hill was extremely high. Waves of scorching heat came from beneath his feet. Occasionally, a piece of black rock would explode under the scorching heat.

Tie Lang stepped on the rocks as he continued to fly. Very quickly, he passed through this swamp, and soon, he arrived at the top of the hill.

Above the hill was a huge, circular volcanic crater with a radius of about half a kilometer. The inner wall of the volcano was incomparably smooth and it was difficult to find a single crack. About 200 meters down from where he stood, he could see the surging lava. Above the magma, there were some black objects that seemed like rocks or volcanic ash floating.

"Oh!" The distance was really high! Fortunately, I have the Blood Wolf's Kiss, so I can transform. "If it was an ordinary person, it would not be easy for them to get down there!" With a thought, a thin, blood-red rope appeared on Tie Lang's right hand. One end of the thin metal wire turned into a meter-long steel nail and firmly nailed itself to the top of the rock. His body then quickly slid down towards the bottom of the volcano …
