Chapter 524: The Ghost Fire Demon blocks the way, the feeling of death
Soon, some major events that occurred in the Icefire Secret Realm spread throughout Seven Kings City.
Although the matter of the Peak Saint King Realm Golden Fur Hou setting an ambush and killing many Saint Realm powerhouses was very serious.
But everyone could barely accept it, after all, exploring Secret Realms and ruins was inherently a matter with a very high death rate, and everyone had some psychological preparation.
It could be said to be unexpected, yet within reason.
The most discussed topics afterwards were the clashes among the top Heavenly Prodigies in the Secret Realm and the two Immortal Bodies.
In the Secret Realm, while competing for the seven-leaf profound lotus, Xu Muge defeated Pei Haoran, and Xu Ying defeated Wu Xingyun.
Afterwards, while competing for rare treasures, they encountered Nie Zhe and the Fourth Prince of Tianhui.
Xu Muge defeated his old opponent Nie Zhe once again, and the Fourth Prince of Tianhui seemed to have injuries, being easily defeated by Xu Ying.
Everyone knew Immortal Bodies were powerful, but they didn't expect them to be so strong. Monsters who were also considered top Heavenly Prodigies like them surrendered after less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn in battle.
This Great Era of Strife seems to have already lowered its curtain in advance.
The might of the Immortal Body once again became famous throughout the Tian Yuan World.
Drawing attention from all sides.
"It only makes sense for Immortal Bodies to be this powerful, otherwise how could they be qualified to be called 'Immortal'?"
"With these two Immortal Bodies present, the rise of Xuantian Holy Sect and Piaomiao Immortal Palace is already unstoppable."
"Currently, the strongest in the Tian Yuan World is the Emperor Realm. Only when the Great Era of Strife arrives will Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouses appear. It seems now that the matter of these two Immortal Bodies breaking through to become Heavenly Emperors is already set in stone."
"What about Immortal Bodies? Before they fully rise, anyone could potentially die young!"
There were already enough people visiting and inviting Xu Muge and Xu Ying. After returning to Seven Kings City this time, there were even more. Some with not-so-simple backgrounds still needed to be met.
It's just that both of them were focused entirely on returning home and just wanted to go back as soon as things settled down.
Xu Muge and Xu Ying both had Emperor Realm Elders accompanying them, so they traveled relatively fast. Additionally, there were too many people visiting them, making them temporarily unable to leave.
Therefore, Xu Luo and the other two packed everything up and left Seven Kings City first, embarking on their journey home.
Just after leaving the East Continent where Seven Kings City was located, Xu Luo and the other two immediately felt something was wrong.
"Not good!"
As soon as Xu Luo's voice fell, the next moment, a vast expanse of black mist surged from all directions around them. This black mist covered the sky and the sun, not only blocking their sight and Divine Sense, but even directly blocking all their escape routes.
The three who were originally flying at high speed were directly fixed in mid-air, watching helplessly as the sky-filled black mist completely surrounded them. They didn't even have the ability to self-destruct, let alone anything else.
"Ah!!"
A powerful Emperor Realm pressure came from the black mist, distorting the features of the three and causing them immense pain.
Facing an Emperor Realm powerhouse, even if Xu Chen had many life-saving trump cards, they couldn't play any role.
Xu Luo and the other two had never felt death so close to them.
At this moment, a sinister and hoarse voice seemed to come from all directions.
"How is it? The taste of death isn't pleasant, is it?"
The red-haired Old Devil Guihuo slowly appeared from the black mist.
Seeing Old Devil Guihuo, Xu Luo's pupils trembled slightly, filled with horror.
Xu Luo thought about offending Old Devil Guihuo at the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild last time. He was sure he would hold a grudge. He originally thought he was still in the Saint King Realm, so even if they were no match, the three of them were confident they could escape.
He just never expected that he had already reached the Emperor Realm.
If they had known this, Xu Luo and the other two definitely wouldn't have rashly left Seven Kings City. At the very least, they would have stayed with Xu Muge and the other person.
"Did you not expect this old man to already be in the Emperor Realm?" Old Devil Guihuo chuckled, stroking his beard, looking quite pleased.
Everyone knew that he had been killing indiscriminately and suddenly rose from thirty-fifth to nineteenth on the bounty list, attracting the attention of several forces and being pursued by many powerhouses.
But they didn't know how much gain this brought him by doing so at great risk.
Old Devil Guihuo, who had been at the Peak of the Saint King Realm for many years, used this opportunity to break through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Unless their Realm was several levels higher than his, they couldn't possibly see his true cultivation.
Xu Chen had won treasures from Old Devil Guihuo and Wei Yiming at the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild, plus he took out a Dragon Pearl which was quite precious, which made Old Devil Guihuo target him.
Before, there had been no opportunity. Now that they had left Seven Kings City, the chance finally arrived.
So, just as they stepped out of the East Continent's territory, Old Devil Guihuo immediately made his move without hesitation.
"Alright, it's time to send you on your way."
Although Old Devil Guihuo had a little habit of tormenting people, this place was too close to the East Continent after all. An Emperor Realm powerhouse from another force like him was too conspicuous here.
Old Devil Guihuo stood with his hands behind his back, his mind slightly moving, and the surrounding black mist once again squeezed towards Xu Luo and the other two.
The three who were only in the Great Saint Realm had no ability to resist at all, watching as they were about to die at the hands of Old Devil Guihuo.
"Hmm?"
A more powerful Emperor Realm pressure suddenly descended, causing the world to change color.
Old Devil Guihuo, who originally had a smile on his face and a calm expression, instantly had a drastic change in complexion.
"Who are you, Your Excellency? This old man is an Elder of the Red Moon Sect. I will leave after dealing with these three little fellows; I have no other intentions."
Old Devil Guihuo thought it was an Emperor Realm powerhouse from the East Continent who had discovered him, so he quickly announced his identity and incidentally stated that he had no other intentions.
But he didn't expect that as soon as his voice fell.
"Whoosh!"
A red leaf suddenly flew over, directly passing through the black mist that restricted Xu Luo and the other two, and then flew straight towards Old Devil Guihuo.
"No…."
This red leaf seemed slow, but in just an instant, it had already arrived before Old Devil Guihuo.
The key was that his body, like Xu Luo and the other two, was unable to move even a fraction.
"Puff!"
The red leaf passed through Old Devil Guihuo's body. His life force dissipated completely in the blink of an eye, and even his Divine Soul was extinguished.
As Old Devil Guihuo fell, the surrounding black mist also disappeared, giving a feeling of clearing the clouds to see the moon.
"Hoo… hoo…."
Xu Luo and the other two, who were saved, gasped for air. It had been a long time since they had experienced the feeling of escaping death like this.
