Chapter 62: Backstab

"Of course it's to borrow your life for a use!"

Listening to Wang Qingyue's words, Duanmu Ji spoke with eyes full of killing intent.

Immediately after, a flash of spiritual light flickered in his hand, and a Medicinal Pill instantly materialized from it.

Then, with a flick of his finger, the Medicinal Pill shot toward Wang Qingyue like a shooting star.

Seeing this, Wang Qingyue sneered repeatedly and let out a light shout:

"Brother Duanmu, there's no way I can lend you my life, but as for your head, I, Wang, am definitely going to borrow it!"

As soon as his voice fell, the incantation gesture in Wang Qingyue's hand suddenly changed.

Five runic characters emerged out of thin air, and with a slight spin, a defensive light barrier sheltered Wang Qingyue within it.

The moment the Medicinal Pill touched the runic light barrier, it instantly shattered into a sheet of smoke.

Enveloping Wang Qingyue together with the defensive light barrier entirely within the smoke.

"I won't play with you anymore!"

Seeing that the smoke had enveloped Wang Qingyue, Duanmu Ji immediately let out a sinister chuckle and raised his foot to run.

The moment the smoke appeared, a strange odor emanated.

The surrounding Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoot instantly became even more agitated the moment this odor appeared.

Then, actually abandoning Duanmu Ji, all of them rushed toward Wang Qingyue, who was enveloped by the smoke.

"What the Hell is this!"

Seeing this, Wang Qingyue roared angrily with a somewhat distorted voice.

Then he screamed shrilly, full of ruthlessness:

"Want to leave?

Old thief Duanmu, stay here for me!

Earth-Origin Spirit-Binding Technique!"

As his voice fell, Wang Qingyue's eyes turned red, and he leaned down, pressing both hands onto the ground.

As yellow light circulated on his body, endless magical power was channeled by Wang Qingyue beneath the ground.

The ground beneath Duanmu Ji, who was just about to escape, trembled slightly, and several earthy-yellow arms immediately stretched out from the ground.

Then they fiercely grabbed all over Duanmu Ji's body.

Under the pulling and binding of these earthy-yellow arms, Duanmu Ji's figure trying to escape instantly stopped, completely unable to leave the spot by even half a step.

Seeing this, Duanmu Ji's expression turned greatly horrified, the magical power on his body surged violently, and bolts of current blasted toward the earthy-yellow arms.

However, these earthy-yellow arms were extremely tough; under the bombardment of the frantic current, they basically did not move at all.

Firmly binding Duanmu Ji's figure in place.

After a series of actions by Duanmu Ji and Wang Qingyue, neither of them could run away anymore.

Duanmu Ji was trapped in place by Wang Qingyue's Earth-Origin Spirit-Binding Technique and unable to move.

Wang Qingyue was turned into a target by Duanmu Ji with a burst of eerie smoke; naturally, Wang Qingyue was unwilling to leave alone and attract firepower for Duanmu Ji.

But the endless surrounding Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoot did not care about this damned nonsense.

Stimulated by Duanmu Ji's eerie smoke, the surrounding Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoot instantly turned completely berserk.

One by one, like sardines, they squeezed in front of Wang Qingyue, and without saying a word, blew themselves up amidst a rumbling sound.

Moreover, the distance between Duanmu Ji and Wang Qingyue was not far, so Duanmu Ji could not avoid these successive self-detonations at all.

Hiding in the dark and watching the scene before him, Sun Xuan could not help but applaud the two's outrageous operations.

Their relationship of over a thousand years vividly interpreted the two phrases: Not seeking to be born in the same year, month, and day, but seeking to die in the same year, month, and day.

Sun Xuan, hiding in the dark, had completely no intention of giving either of them a helping hand.

Although saving their lives was just a matter of convenience for Sun Xuan.

But these two old Devil Heads were so smooth at digging pits and backstabbing; saving them would still be a scourge.

Earth-shattering explosion sounds and the roaring curses of Duanmu Ji and Wang Qingyue echoed endlessly in the ears.

After only a short while, the cursing of the two gradually subsided.

Leaving only clusters of mushroom clouds rising continuously from where Duanmu Ji and the other were located.

Shaking apart the red fire clouds in the sky.

Seeing that it was almost time, Sun Xuan, hiding aside, shifted his figure and quickly headed toward the place where Duanmu Ji and the other were.

Right now, those two fellows were probably dead, but it was uncertain whether the Storage Pouch was damaged or not.

If the Storage Pouch was still there, to say the least, the Top-Grade Spirit Stones inside were still quite precious.

Walking forward, Sun Xuan simultaneously stimulated the Yin Corpse Poison Fire, swallowing up a large number of surrounding Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoot.

After just a moment's work, two charred, mummified corpses appeared before Sun Xuan's eyes.

Sun Xuan smiled with a mocking look in his eyes, and reached out to summon towards the location of the two mummified corpses.

Two Storage Pouches floated up from beneath the mummified corpses, then shook slightly and flew towards Sun Xuan's hand.

Sun Xuan's Divine Sense swept into the Storage Pouch, discovering that besides some Medicinal Pills and ordinary Magic Treasures.

There were also a total of six Top-Grade Spirit Stones quietly lying inside the Storage Pouch.

A flash of satisfaction crossed Sun Xuan's face, and he flipped his hand to put away the two Storage Pouches.

After putting away the Storage Pouches, Sun Xuan began to absorb the Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoot with all his might.

As a large number of Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoot were absorbed by Sun Xuan, a faint, strange fluctuation began to echo within the Land of Fire Element.

Just as Sun Xuan was nearly reaching the end of the Land of Fire Element, and the Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoot were almost completely absorbed.

The entire Land of Fire Element suddenly trembled slightly, and then all fire-type energy within the Land of Fire Element.

At this moment surged overwhelmingly towards the location in front of Sun Xuan.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan's expression changed instantly.

At this moment, the Yin Corpse Poison Fire in Sun Xuan's hand had almost entirely turned into a gray flame emitting an eerie, desolate chill.

Only at the very core position did it still carry a trace of imperceptible dark green.

However, this trace of dark green flame at its core position was extremely tenacious.

After continuing to absorb quite a few Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoot, it still showed no signs of being dyed gray.

At this moment, a blood-red spiritual light carrying an evil, catastrophic aura flashed out before Sun Xuan's eyes.

Immediately after, all the fire-type energy of the entire Land of Fire Element continuously poured into this blood-red spiritual light.

Even those Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoot that Sun Xuan had not yet had time to swallow rushed toward this blood-red spiritual light like moths to a flame one by one.

This blood-red spiritual light instantly expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And the eternal flame Hell phase within the Land of Fire Element rapidly cooled down after a large amount of fire-type energy flowed away.

Seeing the fire clouds in the sky slowly dissipate completely.

The raging magma on the ground slowly stopped flowing.

The firelight upon it quickly dimmed, and finally cooled down to form patches of pitch-black rocks.

The entire Land of Fire Element, after just a short moment's work.

Transformed from a crimson magma fire stream into a pitch-black, desolate rock region.

Feeling this astonishing change around him, Sun Xuan's eyes could not help becoming somewhat vigilant.

And that wisp of blood-red spiritual light not far in front of him also expanded to the extreme at this moment.

"Boom!"

Hearing an earth-shattering loud sound, that blood-red spiritual light surged dramatically.

Then a fiendish monster emitting an evil, catastrophic aura suddenly appeared before Sun Xuan's eyes.
