A vast aura emanated from the giant iron lizard ahead, reaching the Composite Body Realm!

"Roar!"

Before anyone could react, another deafening roar came from behind.

As the ground shattered, another giant lizard, similar in size to the Composite Body Realm black-backed iron lizard from before, burrowed out of the ground. It was equally ferocious, with streaks of bright red patterns on its back and a pair of dark red horns on its head.

This red-patterned giant lizard also exuded an aura of the Composite Body Realm!

"It's the Iron Lizard King! No wonder so many iron lizards were mobilized…" The Liu family retainer's pupils constricted, and he gasped, muttering to himself.

"If we capture the leader first, will this battle end with the death of the Iron Lizard King?" Upon hearing this, the Kou family man's eyes lit up.

"That may be the case, but their strengths are similar, so I fear they won't be able to determine a victor in a short amount of time. If it were any other time, with all our skills at our disposal, we might be able to find a way to kill these two Iron Lizard Kings, but now…" The Qi family retainer glanced at the overwhelming number of iron lizards engaged in a fierce battle all around and shook his head, sighing.

As he spoke, the two Iron Lizard Kings glanced at each other from afar, and then simultaneously pounced, moving as swiftly as lightning.

Boom!

The two massive bodies collided in mid-air not far from the flying boat, creating a deafening muffled sound, and then they began to fight each other frantically.

Explosions and roars filled the air, interwoven together!

A violent wave of energy swept in all directions, mixed with dazzling black and red lights.

Nearby smaller iron lizards were directly blown away, and some were even torn apart by the shockwave and light.

The white flying boat was affected by the violent shockwave, and the shield's light flickered wildly. Amidst the increasingly intense swarm of iron lizards, it retreated a considerable distance, swaying back and forth.

"We can't hold on much longer! Senior Liu, esteemed retainers, please think of something!" The Kou family man exclaimed anxiously, glancing at the gradually dimming and thinning light barrier around the boat.

However, the two Composite Body Realm retainers could only use their techniques to kill the iron lizards surging toward them as much as possible. Even so, they were gradually becoming overwhelmed and could not take any other actions.

At that moment, Han Li suddenly raised a hand and flicked his finger.

Buzz!

A blinding white light suddenly erupted from an unknown source, filling everyone's vision and making it impossible for them to open their eyes.

The white light also contained inexplicable fluctuations, as if the divine sense of everyone present was imprisoned.

The next moment, Han Li's body flashed with silver lightning, and he disappeared from his original location, appearing out of thin air above the two giant lizards hundreds of feet away.

A golden light flashed on his fists, and his fists suddenly turned golden, slamming down fiercely onto the heads of the two giant lizards.

The two giant lizards didn't have time to react.

Crack!

Their heads exploded as easily as eggs, and countless white brains mixed with blood splattered in all directions.

Boom!

The two giant lizards didn't even have time to let out a cry before turning into two massive corpses, falling from the sky and crashing heavily onto the ground.

Han Li's body flashed with silver lightning, and his figure disappeared from his original location, returning to the flying boat in the blink of an eye.

The entire process took no more than a breath, and the surrounding white light disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared.

Everyone on the flying boat was stunned.

"Just now… what was that white light?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

No one answered, and even the two Composite Body Realm retainers felt completely bewildered.

"Huh, these iron lizards…" One of the Composite Body Realm retainers exclaimed in surprise.

The iron lizards that had been covering the sky and biting each other suddenly stopped fighting. The fierce, bloodthirsty light in their eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of panic.

The next moment, several high-pitched roars echoed among the iron lizard herd. The two groups of iron lizards separated and retreated to both sides as if the tide was receding. As they had appeared, they quickly burrowed into the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the iron lizards in the sky had decreased by more than half.

This scene was like parting the clouds to see the sun.

"Look, the two Iron Lizard Kings have been killed!"

Someone with sharp eyes pointed to the corpses of the two Iron Lizard Kings on the ground hundreds of feet away, which were now being carried underground by several smaller iron lizards.

The others were shocked, and the two Composite Body Realm retainers exchanged glances, their expressions also changing.

"Fellow Daoist Kou, no matter what happened, in my opinion, we should leave here as soon as possible!" At this moment, Han Li slowly said.

"Yes, yes, let's go quickly!" The Kou family man nodded repeatedly and turned to leave.

The white flying boat shone brightly and flew toward its destination, quickly leaving the surrounding area.

Seeing that the iron lizards were not chasing after them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"What just happened?"

"I don't know. The two Iron Lizard Kings were killed after a flash of white light."

"I think there must be a hidden expert on this flying boat. He was the one who killed the two Iron Lizard Kings, but he didn't want anyone to know, so he used white light to cover it up."

"Don't joke around, how is that possible! I think it was probably an immortal passing by. How could an ordinary person kill two Composite Body Realm demon beasts in an instant!"

"If it was a passing expert, there would be no need to release that white light to cover it up!"

The people on the flying boat gathered together, whispering to each other, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

The two Composite Body Realm retainers stood on the flying boat, their gazes constantly scanning the people around them, as if they were trying to determine who the expert was.

However, they didn't dare to investigate too closely.

Judging from the way that person killed the two Iron Lizard Kings, he must be at least in the Mahayana Realm, or even a legendary True Immortal. They wouldn't dare to provoke him.

At this moment, Han Li sat cross-legged on the flying boat, minding his own business. Some gazes occasionally fell on him, but he ignored them.

The rest of the journey was very smooth. Until dusk, they flew out of the Black Rock Gobi and were not attacked again, which allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

After flying over the Black Rock Gobi, a vast grassland appeared in front of them.

Time passed slowly in the process of traveling.

Everyone's curiosity about the mysterious expert gradually faded with the passage of time, and the flying boat quickly returned to its previous state.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

The white flying boat flew over a desolate desert.

The destination, Bright Hill City, was very close. As long as they flew over this desert, they would arrive.

The journey had been relatively smooth. Although they had encountered some dangers, they had not encountered the almost certain death situation they experienced in the Black Rock Gobi.

At this moment, Han Li sat cross-legged in his room.

His ten fingers moved like wheels, forming hand seals. Between his hands, a patch of water and lightning intertwined, slowly merging together.

A black ball emerged, which was a Heavy Water Pattern Thunder.

A look of joy appeared on his face, and he flipped his hand to put it away.

Along the way, Han Li had been refining this Heavy Water Pattern Thunder whenever he had free time. He had consumed half of his Heavy Water, and he now had more than thirty Heavy Water Pattern Thunders on him.

He patted his clothes and stood up, coming outside and looking at the yellow sea of sand below.

The desert below was called the Boundless Sea of Sand, and it had a vast area. However, there were very few demon beasts here, and they were weak, so it was considered a very safe area.

The two Composite Body Realm retainers were not on the boat guarding it either.

Han Li took a light breath. This journey had really taken a lot of time.

However, once he arrived at Bright Hill City and had access to the teleportation array, the journey would be faster.

"Senior Liu." The Kou family man happened to be patrolling nearby and came over when he saw Han Li come out.

Han Li heard this, turned around, and nodded slightly to the other party.

"Senior, we will arrive at Bright Hill City soon. There is probably only half a day's journey left. Thank you for your hard work along the way." The Kou family man said, his expression quite excited and his tone grateful.

"Fellow Daoist Kou, you're being too polite. Since Liu has accepted the task, he should naturally be loyal to his duty." Han Li smiled lightly and said.

"I wonder what Senior Liu plans to do after arriving at Bright Hill City?" The Kou family man asked.

"Liu…" Han Li suddenly paused, suddenly looking to the right.

Several shadows appeared on the distant horizon, and a faint whistling sound came from there.

He spread out his divine sense, and his expression immediately froze.

"Senior Liu, what's wrong… It's a Gale Disaster! Quick! Stop the flying boat, dig a hole, and hide the flying boat inside!" The Kou family man followed Han Li's gaze and spread out his divine sense, then his expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.

Han Li was unfamiliar with the term Gale Disaster. He had not seen it in any of the classics before. Judging from the Kou family man's expression, it must be no small matter.

The people on the flying boat were in chaos. Soon, someone noticed the changes on the distant horizon. People who were familiar with the climate here also changed their expressions.

The white flying boat slowly stopped.

Whoosh whoosh!

Two figures flew out, precisely the two Composite Body Realm retainers.

The Qi family retainer had a solemn expression. Without saying a word, he flipped his hand and summoned a yellow banner. He activated the magic, and the banner surface suddenly expanded dozens of times, emitting a dazzling yellow light.

As the person waved his arm, an incomparably thick yellow light shot out and landed in the sea of sand below.

Rumble!

The ground within a radius of dozens of miles shook violently. Then, the ground suddenly cracked and moved to both sides.

After a few breaths, a huge black rift emerged, like a black abyss, hundreds of feet deep.

At this moment, the black dots on the distant horizon had approached, and they were actually huge black clouds, making a loud roar.

A strong wind was blowing around the flying boat, stirring up sand that filled the sky.

"Quick!" The Kou family man urged anxiously upon seeing this.

The white flying boat immediately descended toward the huge rift and quickly disappeared into it.

The Qi family retainer waved the banner in his hand, and the cracked rift rumbled as it closed again.

The white flying boat stopped in a huge underground cave.

At this moment, huge yellow gales swept across the ground, like giant wind dragons roaring, blotting out the sky and the sun.

The sea of sand on the ground was swept up, mixed in the gale, and the entire world became chaotic and dark.

The gale was like a giant's whip, fiercely lashing the ground and making a rumbling sound.

Although the people on the flying boat were hundreds of feet underground, they could still clearly hear the sounds above.
