Chapter 244: Twin Brother and Sister

The scorching sun at noon was roasting the creatures on the earth.

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival and midsummer, the weather was so hot and dry that it was hard to bear. At noon, it was the hottest time of the day.

However, in the wilderness, there were more than ten figures hurrying along.

The one leading at the forefront was a brawny man with disheveled hair, carrying a huge bronze pillar on his shoulder with immense strength.

Following him closely were more than ten figures of various heights and builds, but they all shared one characteristic: they moved swiftly and easily through the wilderness, as if walking on flat ground even when crossing mountains and rivers.

In the team, there was a green sedan chair, and everyone was hurrying to protect it.

Although the brawny man in the lead appeared rough and bold, he looked around vigilantly while walking, guarding against potential enemies.

The person they were escorting was of high status and significance, and could even impact the current extremely tense situation, so he couldn't take it lightly.

In the green sedan chair behind him, two young figures were nervously looking around.

Although it was difficult to travel through the wilderness outside, and the demons carrying the sedan chair were hurrying, the chair itself remained stable and steady without any jolting.

Although the sedan chair was calm inside, the hearts of the two young children, a boy and a girl, were nervous and anxious.

"Sister," said the little boy who looked almost exactly like his sister nervously, "Do we really have to go with these uncles? Why don't we go directly to Hanyu Mountain to find our father?"

The little girl, who was also cute and pink, frowned slightly, appearing to be more independent than her younger brother.

She said, "Before mother passed away, she urged us to follow Uncle Tie Yi. There must be a reason for her decision. Now the battle between wizards and demons in Fire Pass Country is cruel. If we, two little demons, venture out recklessly, how can we resist those wizards who kill demons without blinking? It's better to follow Uncle Tie Yi first, settle down and then contact father."

The little girl explained, and the content of this conversation naturally fell into the ears of the dozens of monsters in this wilderness.

The burly man named Tie Yi, who ran ahead carrying a huge copper column, remained silent and continued to move forward without saying a word.

Because the plan that the little girl spoke of was the purpose of their trip.

And at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the wilderness ahead, blocking their way.

Wearing a long black robe, which is the daily clothing of the Fire Pass Country's wizards, he had a small green and a small white snake hanging from his left and right earlobes, respectively.

These two snakes seemed quite satisfied with the scorching sun at this moment, lazily wriggling their bodies.

At the sight of the wizard of Xingyao City, Tie Yi's expression changed abruptly, and the dozen or so demons behind him suddenly paused and stopped moving.

In the wilderness, there was only the laughter of the wizard of the Xingyao City, Le Hetian, echoing.

"Gentlemen demons disguising as humans and carrying a sedan chair were galloping in the wilderness... does the Green Hell Cave's master want to marry off his daughter?"

After Le Hetian's voice fell, the wizards' figures appeared densely in the wilderness.

In just a few breaths' time, the demons were surrounded by dozen or so wizards.

In front of the wizard team, the burly Tie Yi coldly swept his surroundings and said, "How dare a mere city wizard like you stop me? I am one of the Four Elders of the Green Hell Cave! Bull Tie Yi with unparalleled iron hooves!"

Directly lifting the huge bronze pillar in his hand, the burly man shouted, "Today, whoever blocks our way will die!"

Since his whereabouts had been exposed, Tie Yi no longer concealed his demonic aura. In the wilderness, a violent evil aura surged into the sky.

The stinking black wind howled between the mountains and forests, causing the several nearest wizards to retreat repeatedly.

Behind Tie Yi, all the accompanying demons also discarded their disguises. For a time, the demonic wind raged, the evil qi danced wildly, and the originally scorching hot mountains and forests seemed to have fallen into a demon's lair, with a pervasive aura of maliciousness.

That was just within the team behind Tie Yi, there were actually two demons whose aura was no weaker than the roadblocker, Le Hetian...

However, facing a situation where the strength of the enemy and his own side was so disparate, Le Hetian was not afraid, still smiling.

Immediately afterwards, a low and angry voice suddenly sounded in the mountains and forests.

"Demons and evil demons, how dare you be so rampant under the scorching sun... Hmph! What more can you do with me?"

A blazing flame burst out from the side in an instant, evaporating one of the sedan chair bearers with a single strike.

As the emerald green sedan chair overturned, another figure dressed in black robes shimmered out of the forest, turning into a red light and flying towards the emerald green sedan chair.

The man in black robes within the red light had red hair all over his head, with a fierce and angry expression that frightened the leading few demonic creatures into repeatedly retreating.

"Gongshu Jie?!"

Iron Yi, who was originally standing at the front of the team, immediately rushed forward, feeling a little uneasy.

This man has actually come?!

The massive copper pillar, carrying a force that could shatter mountains and split seas, directly struck towards the flying red light.

However, facing the full-force attack from the Four Elders of the Green Hell Cave, Gongshu Jie didn't back down, instead exerting his divine power and striking out with a palm.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the raging aura of evil and the scorching flame energy swept outwards.

In the blink of an eye, it had leveled all the trees within a radius of five miles. In the primeval jungle, there appeared a massive depression.

Even the Fire Pass Country's wizards who were focusing on the formation and the dozen or so demons who were struggling to resist were all blown back several hundred feet by the shockwave generated by the clash between the two.

-- In fact, if it weren't for the formation created by nearly a hundred wizards and the resistance offered by a dozen demons, more than 90% of the shockwaves generated by the collision would not have been neutralized.

Just with this blow alone, it was going to create a vast expanse of scorched earth and white ground in the wilderness.

In the center of the conflict, the burly man who held the copper pillar took several steps back, looking grim, and protected a pale-looking little girl behind him.

The emerald green sedan chair had already evaporated in the instant the two had engaged in combat.

In a hurry, Tie Yi could only protect the little girl and was hit by Gongshu Jie's second palm on his chest, almost spitting out a mouthful of demon blood.

And the other little boy in the emerald green sedan chair is now captured by Gongshu Jie, unconscious in his grasp.

Seeing this scene, Tie Yi's eyes widened with anger, wishing to rush forward and engage in a life and death struggle with the black-robed wuzhu.

However, the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and himself made him stay clear-headed.

The black-robed wuzhu in front of them was the most formidable enemy in Fire Pass Country, with a cultivation base only second to Emperor Yan and Lianshan Jing.

Having already lost the upper hand in the previous battle, and with so many sorcerers lurking around, engaging in a one-on-one fight with the enemy was not an option.

Once the Holy Fire Demon Binding Net is formed, it would be difficult to break free.

Before leaving, the cave master sternly reminded them that the safety of escorting the two children was the top priority.

After taking a deep breath, Tie Yi stared fiercely at Gongshu Jie ahead and said in a menacing voice.

"Today I lost, but if there is a chance in the future, I will challenge you again!"

After speaking, Tie Yi turned into a black light and flew directly into the sky with the pale-faced little girl.

He didn't even care about the demons that he was traveling with.
