Chapter 575: Chapter 247: Immortal Wu Xiong, Surrender
"Ah......"
"Wuwuwuwu... it hurts, help me, help me!"
"Ahhhh...... save me!"
"Wuwuwu, save me!"
......
"Jiejiejie......"
From the four wooden houses engulfed in blue flames came countless shrieks and cries of agony. One by one, figures shrouded in blue flames scrambled desperately to escape from the four doorways.
Under the night sky, it seemed as if thousands of fiends were squeezing out of the gates of hell.
Above the wooden houses, at the intersection of the blue flames, Wu Xiong’s bizarre and maniacal laughter made everyone’s hearts skip a beat.
"Long Mountain army, retreat!"
"Retreat out of the valley."
"Don’t stand there dumbfounded, fall back!"
Li Xuanling’s three consecutive shouts woke everyone up.
Upon hearing the call, everyone frantically turned and fled towards the valley’s exit.
But in the sky, Wu Xiong moved.
Boom......
Wu Xiong transformed into a blue fireball, suddenly swooping down from the sky. A saber condensed from flames quietly appeared in its hand, and the fire arc it brought forth instantly sliced through dozens of people.
Several reacted quickly, using their weapons in advance to parry, but without exception, their weapons were instantly melted when they touched the Blue Flame Saber.
Even more bizarre, those slashed by the Blue Flame Saber did not have their bodies severed in two, but from their wounds emerged a large string of white droplets, which were then ignited by the flames, covering their bodies in fire and immediately prompting screams.
"Jiejiejie... jiejiejie......"
If the thousands of people in the four wooden houses just now only provoked Wu Xiong’s satisfied laugh, then at this moment, killing dozens of fleeing people with a single strike made Wu Xiong’s mood truly frenzied.
"Kill... kill!"
Wu Xiong’s eyes turned blood-red, his pupils gradually constricting, his face full of a bloodthirsty twisted smile as he charged again at the now even more terrified crowd, the blue flames above him leaping higher by several feet.
Clang......
But this time, it wasn’t that easy.
A silver longsword blocked the back of someone from the Earth-digging Realm, colliding fiercely with Wu Xiong’s Fire Blade.
Surprisingly, not only was the silver longsword not melted, but after the collision, it even severed a portion of Wu Xiong’s saber.
"Use silver weapons to block it, or everyone will die!"
As Li Xuanling’s voice fell, Li Xuanyan, Li Xuandu, Meng Ying, and Zhou Yuan, the four Cold Resistance Level members of Long Mountain, immediately pulled out a silver dagger from their bosoms and charged at Wu Xiong.
The six Cold Resistance Level members of Zhaoyang, including Hou Tong, exchanged glances before Hou Tong first drew a silver dagger from his bosom.
Seeing this, the other five immediately followed suit.
"Young master, facing a deceitful monster, let’s join forces!"
"Stop talking, let’s deal with it first."
Li Xuanling led the charge and had already reached Wu Xiong’s side.
Swoosh......
"Hmph!"
The arc of the silver sword swiftly surged forward, and Wu Xiong, originally charging at the crowd, immediately ducked to avoid it. Although he successfully dodged, the sword arc’s passage caused the blue flames enveloping him at a yard high to instantly drop by ten centimeters.
Wu Xiong raised the Blue Flame Saber, looking at the longsword in Li Xuanling’s hand. Just as a trace of dread flashed in his eyes, ten silver lights suddenly encircled him from all directions.
The ten silver lights naturally belonged to the two groups from Long Mountain and Zhaoyang who quickly reached a consensus just now.
All ten Cold Resistance Level individuals acted simultaneously, using daggers, which are light weapons, the violent force unleashed was enough to make the blue flames enveloping Wu Xiong roar wildly from the gusts of wind.
Swoosh......
Even though Wu Xiong had already chosen a direction to break through, Li Xuanling quickly swapped places with that person, using his silver longsword to completely block the escape route.
Thud!
Only four of them managed to plunge their silver daggers into Wu Xiong, namely Li Xuanling, Li Xuanyan, Li Xuandu, and Hou Tong.
This was not surprising, as they were the four strongest among the eleven present.
Moreover, Li Xuanling’s longsword pierced directly through Wu Xiong’s brow, penetrating his skull.
The suppressive effect of silver weapons on deceitful monsters was well known.
So, all eleven—including Li Xuanling—briefly wore smiles on their faces.
However, this smile soon transferred to Wu Xiong’s face.
"Jiejiejiejie......"
Wu Xiong suddenly raised his head, his pupils filled with dew, causing a shiver down one’s spine, and the laughter that seemed squeezed from his throat made one’s skin crawl.
"Killing me isn’t that easy!"
Boom...
As Wu Xiong finished speaking, the blue flames on his body shot skyward and abruptly transformed into thick smoke, disappearing directly from everyone’s sight.
Pfff...
"Help, help!"
"Ah..."
......
With Wu Xiong’s disappearance, the remaining Earth-digging Realm cultivators who had not completely retreated from the outer valley instantly let out scream after scream.
All eleven of Li Xuanling’s group turned and rushed toward the outer valley without a second thought.
The Wu Xiong they had just struck with silver weapons seemed to ignore them entirely, beginning a frenzied slaughter in the outer valley.
The Blue Fire Saber in his hand had already extended over two meters, and the blue flames covering his body had grown from the original one yard to a yard and a half, and with his slaughter, they continued to grow.
"We’ll die whether we fight or not; it will only grow stronger!"
This time, it was Li Xuandu speaking.
He looked at the silver dagger in his hand, now an inch shorter than before, his eyes filled with horror, exclaiming, "It’s starting to consume silver weapons. This is a sign of evolving into an Advanced Deceitful Monster. We can’t let it continue!"
"Stop the nonsense, hurry up."
Li Xuanling transformed into a silver light, instantly skimming through the crowd, latching onto Wu Xiong, the whistling sword light raising a snowstorm, and the remaining ten quickly rejoined the battle.
