Chapter 456: Tang Longfei's Help

Money quickly flew over to catch the falling Xiang Shaoyun. At the same time, the second-stage devil ant scorpion emperor charged over and roared, "For killing our leader, you will pay with your life!"

The devil ant scorpion emperor's tail started extending and shot toward Money and Xiang Shaoyun. Like a whip, the tail instantly crossed a distance of several hundred meters, its stinger piercing through the air with a might great enough to crush mountains.

Money was fast, but still not fast enough in comparison to a second-stage devil ant scorpion emperor. He had no way of escaping the stinger no matter how hard he tried. Suddenly, a figure charged over with an even faster speed. A bright radiance flashed past while a phoenix cry rang out in the air. A phoenix formed of flame crashed into the stinger.

Bang!

The flaming phoenix severed the scorpion tail, causing the devil ant scorpion to wail in pain as it quickly retreated.

"Die!"

The attacker was Yu Caidie. Instead of using the power of wind, she was attacking with the power of flame. A raging flame spread out of her halberd, radiating a unique power as it burned everything in its way.

In the blink of an eye, a sea of flame was formed, burning all the devilish energy in a radius of one kilometer into nothingness. This attack wasn't any weaker than the attack Xiang Shaoyun had unleashed with his nine-colored fog.

The second-stage devil ant scorpion emperor had no way of escaping. It was lit on fire and was soon burned into ash. Fear overtook the other devil ant scorpions. Poisonous beasts like them feared powers of extreme yang such as the power of flame the most. This was even more so for unique flames, one which Yu Caidie was using. In fact, her flame was much scarier than even the devil flame seed.

"Why are you still standing there? Slaughter them!" Yu Caidie commanded the young geniuses, her voice dignified and imposing, waking the geniuses from their shock.

"Kill!" They attacked the devil ant scorpions. They no longer held anything back. The combat strength displayed by Xiang Shaoyun and Yu Caidie had thoroughly shocked them.

They did not want to fall too far off behind Xiang Shaoyun in the race for Yu Caidie's heart, and the surviving devil ant scorpions were used to vent their anger. At this moment, someone suddenly charged in Xiang Shaoyun's direction with his mount.

"Su Jun, what are you doing?" Tang Longfei cried out.

Su Jun ignored the cry. Seated on his leopard king mount, he dashed toward Money at his top speed. Before he had even arrived, he swung his weapon, sending an attack toward the weakened Xiang Shaoyun.

Nobody had expected Su Jun to suddenly attack Xiang Shaoyun like this. Tang Longfei had been paying close attention to Xiang Shaoyun all along, and he quickly rushed over to stop Su Jun. However, since he was in the midst of battling a devil ant scorpion emperor when he noticed the attack, it was not possible for him to reach Su Jun in time.

"Let me kill you while you're down!" Su Jun roared as he erupted with all his strength. A gold radiance rippled out of him as a sharp aura wreaked havoc all around him.

Fortunately, Money was fast enough. He might not be as fast as Emperors, but dodging an attack of a ninth-stage King like Su Jun was still possible. By the time he dodged the attack, Tang Longfei was already standing before Su Jun with his mount.

"Since you want to kill him, I'll kill you first," said Tang Longfei with a thick murderous intent.

Nobody could understand why Tang Longfei, who did not seem to have any relationship with Xiang Shaoyun, was helping him. This was especially true for Su Jun. However, it was too late to change his mind.
