Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 843 - 842: Containment

The Power of Bright Moon can only be used once, just like magic with a cooldown period. This Continuous Dragon Technique also requires an interval before it can be used again.

The collapse of the Power of Bright Moon instantly made these Shadow Battle Guards realize that without it, they would have undoubtedly perished when charging into the fire barrier earlier!

Thinking of this, they couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. Initially, they thought that while they were no match for the Seven-Colored Famous Bird, neither could the bird kill them so easily. Now it seems they had underestimated the bird’s power.

But at this moment, they no longer had time to react. Having already charged into the fire barrier, retreating would completely allow Su Han to widen the distance between them. Advancing further...

They were uncertain if their Golden Bodies could protect them!

To them, the current situation was truly a dilemma where neither advancing nor retreating offered solace.

"Charge!"

Without hesitation, following the middle-aged man’s roar, the ten Shadow Battle Guards steeled themselves and prepared to advance through the fire barrier.

However, they had still underestimated the terror of the fire barrier. The golden radiance on their bodies quickly began to disintegrate. Though the fire barrier was only ten meters thick, they had only advanced five meters before their Golden Bodies collapsed!

With their Golden Bodies shattered, the expressions of the ten Shadow Battle Guards changed completely, as an overwhelming sense of crisis erupted within their hearts.

In that fleeting moment, they imagined vividly how the flames would burn them alive!

"How can this Seven-Colored Famous Bird be so powerful?!!!"

"Powerful as it is, how could such a notoriously defiant species among the Demon Beasts be tamed by Su Baliu?!"

Someone kept speaking, as they found themselves trapped in the very center of the fire barrier. Whether they retreated or advanced, without the Golden Bodies and the Power of Bright Moon to shield them, escape was impossible!

"Are we going to die here while watching helplessly?"

A sense of despair seeped into their hearts. Just then, a massive hand suddenly reached out from the void, directly into the fire barrier, grabbing all ten of them forcefully and pulling them out!

Seeing the sky again, the ten men froze for a moment before they finally snapped out of it, sweat streaming down their faces.

They had thought they were doomed.

Behind them stood a young man dressed in gray. Upon seeing him, the ten Shadow Battle Guards immediately displayed deep respect, clasping their fists and bowing as they said, "Greetings, Lord Green Immortal."

The gray-clad youth was none other than Moo Qinghai, reincarnation of the ninth-generation ancestor of the Sword Immortal Tomb, Green Immortal.

The Shadow Battle Guards belonged to the Sword Immortal Tomb. Naturally, Moo Qinghai would not stand idly by and let them be slain. If they perished, let alone the annihilation of the entire squad, he feared he would face severe punishment even if only one of them died.

Moo Qinghai nodded slightly, his expression indifferent. Looking at Du Yuehui, who still stood respectfully with clasped fists, he furrowed his brow and said, "Did you lose your eyesight? Or are you blind?"

"I was just about to make a move, but you showed up." Du Yuehui shrugged.

"Hmph!"

Moo Qinghai snorted coldly at her response, feeling a hint of helplessness in his heart.

He knew Du Yuehui had deliberately refrained from saving the Shadow Battle Guards. After all, with Su Han doomed to die today, any weakening of the Shadow Battle Guards by Su Han’s efforts would benefit her. Why not let it happen?

Their so-called alliance was merely a temporary arrangement targeting Su Han. Once Su Han was eliminated, they would revert to working for their respective sects, likely eager to see the other party suffer heavy losses.

"Fall back for now."

Moo Qinghai turned to the Shadow Battle Guards and said, "You’ve already used your Continuous Dragon Technique. Killing Su Baliu is no easy feat. With your current strength, you won’t be able to catch up to him."

"Understood..."

The ten men responded, albeit somewhat dejectedly.

The Shadow Battle Guards prided themselves on never failing a mission. Who would have thought they would come close to losing their lives today at the hands of a Dragon God Realm cultivator?

"Moo Qinghai, what do you mean by this?"

Du Yuehui frowned as she heard Moo Qinghai’s words. "The Shadow Battle Guards can hold Su Baliu at bay, leaving you and me to finish him off. Though their strength is limited, they aren’t completely useless."

"If something like what just happened occurs again, can you guarantee you’ll save them in time?"

Moo Qinghai snorted coldly and added, "Keep your petty schemes to yourself; I cannot afford the consequences of losing them."

"The Mad Immortal from my Immortal Dao Court is about to arrive."

Du Yuehui said, "Let your Shadow Battle Guards make a move. Once Su Baliu has exhausted all his trump cards, we’ll strike him down in one decisive blow."

"We’ll wait until they arrive." Moo Qinghai still shook his head.

"Suit yourself."

Du Yuehui knew there was no convincing Moo Qinghai, so she said no more. Instead, her gaze fell upon the Seven-Colored Famous Bird.

"Such a beautiful bird..."

Du Yuehui’s voice sounded hoarse. "Since you can serve Su Baliu, you can serve me as well, right? Come here."

The Seven-Colored Famous Bird understood her words. Its eyes filled with cold hostility as it locked its gaze on Du Yuehui.

"Come to me!"

Du Yuehui snorted coldly, her hand suddenly reaching out, grabbing at the Seven-Colored Famous Bird.

At this moment, Su Han waved his hand, and the Sunset Wood appeared, flying straight toward the Seven-Colored Famous Bird.

Although the Seven-Colored Famous Bird could defeat Peak Pseudo-Emperor Realm fighters, it wasn’t yet a match for someone at the Dragon Emperor Realm. But with the Sunset Wood, the two combined could challenge the Dragon Emperor Realm! freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Yi~"

Seeing the Sunset Wood appear, the Seven-Colored Famous Bird seemed incredibly excited. It let out a piercing cry and flapped its wings, gripping the Sunset Wood tightly with its massive claws.

"Whoosh!"

The power of the Sunset Wood complemented the Seven-Colored Famous Bird’s abilities, allowing it to harness part of that power.

In the instant it seized the Sunset Wood, the bird’s sixth color, originally faintly present, suddenly solidified, radiating brilliance!

"Hmm?"

Du Yuehui’s eyes widened in shock as she noticed the sixth color and felt the explosive surge in the bird’s aura, which now equaled her own!

"What kind of wood is this?"

Du Yuehui’s gaze fell upon the Sunset Wood.

At that moment, the Seven-Colored Famous Bird opened its mouth again and spewed forth a jet of pitch-black flames. This fire instantly reduced Du Yuehui’s conjured hand to nothingness and surged relentlessly toward her.

"It’s only a temporary Dragon Emperor Realm enhancement. Begone!"

Du Yuehui snorted coldly. If the Seven-Colored Famous Bird were a true Dragon Emperor Realm creature, she’d genuinely fear it. But as she saw it, the bird’s current power was merely a short-lived boost from the Sunset Wood, and she wasn’t intimidated.

The two quickly engaged in battle. The longer they fought, the more unsettled Du Yuehui became.

She hadn’t anticipated the sheer strength of the Seven-Colored Famous Bird. As time went on, despite being an authentic Dragon Emperor Realm Early Stage cultivator, she found herself firmly overpowered by the bird!

At this rate, she realized there was even a risk of being injured by the bird!
