Chapter 244: Twin Brother and Sister

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.

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.
