Chapter 749: Chapter 103: The Center of Attention (Thanks to the leader of the Orphanage Dormitory Manager at Some Point!)

The red-gold flame rose from the mountain peak, tearing through the clouds and wind.

At the same time, in the mountains to the west of Red Tower City, explosions erupted continuously, igniting the forests with similar crimson-yellow flames, covering the cold night wind with thick smoke and spreading the charred scent of the burnt vegetation.

A group of people was racing through the forest at high speed.

"Hurry, hurry, this token must be delivered to Lord Bai Luo!"

The leading Martial Artist was clad in heavy, thick black-patterned steel armor and wore iron battle boots, with dark-brown blood scabs seeping into every gap of the iron pieces; the steel armor plates on the warhorse beneath him were also deformed, clearly having gone through a bloody battle.

Constantly throwing back Thunder Pearl Flame Talismans to fully ignite the forest and hinder pursuers, the towering Martial Artist was tensely on guard: "Everyone, discard your armor! It’s useless to them!"

To speed up, he even exploded his whole body’s Gang Qi, shaking off his already half-destroyed armor; breaking the steel armor on his warhorse as well, completely giving up defense.

The Martial Artists behind him also discarded their armor in unison, making the whole team even faster.

But it was too late.

A deep gray flame streaked through the blazing yellow leaves, burning furiously, climbing as it surged like a river stream from the pitch-black ground and snuffing out the red-gold flames wherever it passed, leaving behind only dry rust and yellow.

It broke through the thick smoke and ultimately transformed into a grim, gray-black long sword, piercing through the last person of the team.

Without any wail, this person instantly turned into a bundle of skin and bones, collapsing off the warhorse while the horse, having the bloodline of a Ferocious Beast, also fell shrieking and tumbling into the sea of fire, blazing fiercely.

"Old Chen!"

Seeing this scene, the leading Martial Artist’s eyes nearly burst with grief, but beyond the sorrow, he also understood that they neither had the time nor the strength to fight the enemy that pursued them.

But the gray-black Flame Sword swept like a dragon, burning all life, and in an instant decapitated three heads, blood fountains sprayed, steaming into mist.

Seeing this, the leading Martial Artist could no longer hold back; seemingly grasping at thin air, the surrounding thunder fire instantly condensed into a Big Spear, he turned his horse and lunged, the rolling Qi Force broke through the thick smoke and fire, clashing head-on with the still pursuing gray flame long sword!

Boom!

The blast of wind scattered, sweeping like a broom, half-burnt leaves and ashes in the forest rocketed into the sky, forming a massive ball of flame, with Thunder Light crisscrossing and overflowing!

But the result of this strike was that the leading Martial Artist was directly blown away, a deep dent appearing at his chest, marked with an erosive sword wound.

The gray-black Flame Sword, though intangible, had immense solidity like a plummeting meteor, easily piercing through Flame Thunder. After blowing away the leading Martial Artist, it emitted a howl and chopped off several heads.

"Captain Lin, let’s split up!"

The one referred to as Captain Lin, though wounded, managed to get back on his horse; the deputy captain beside him gasping said, "The enemy is not from Taiming Sect but a mysterious force disguised as them. Flame Thunder can’t stop them, we need to get the message and the token back!"

Martial Meridian is always led by Bright Mirror Sect, and deputy leaders are certainly at the peak of Inner Strength. Now that Captain Lin has been severely wounded, he’s nearly exhausted, it’s better to split up, trying for a slim chance of survival.

"Go!"

With gritted teeth, Captain Lin gave the order, and immediately the five survivors spurred their horses in different directions, like the tips of a pentagram, diverging into five long straight lines.\

But they had underestimated the strength of the pursuers behind them.

The gray-black Erosive Life Flame Sword, sensing the division of enemies, instantly flickered its sword shadow, splitting into five equally sharp, equally chilling slashes of Sword Light!

A flash of ferocious killing intent, distinct from the seemingly similar Netherworld Killing Sword of Taiming Sect, burst forth with unrestrained, fierce Fiendish Qi, instantly penetrating and shattering the Martial Artists of Bright Mirror Sect in four directions, completely slaughtering them into a sky of blood!

Only Captain Lin, being a Martial Meridian, by operating the Inner Array Realm transformed part of his body into thunder fire, sacrificing himself to become a flame in the mirror, escaping a short distance into the flames nearby, avoiding this deadly slash.

But this was merely a desperate struggle, his Martial Vein Array Diagram [Mirror Watchtower] could only turn into a thunder fire body and leap beyond a hundred miles amidst flames when perfected and the Inner Array Realm reached Perfection. Now, he could only escape for about a mile, and the mysterious enemy could reach him in an instant.

However, strangely, the mysterious enemy did not pursue Captain Lin.

The gray-black Flame Sword reassembled, shook off the smoke, and then transformed into a Xuan Armor Martial Artist, his brows tightly furrowed, looking towards the top of the Nameless Mountain Range in the distance, where the suddenly bright red-gold flame and the across-the-sky Fist Intent appeared.

[Main mission target appeared... Should we ignore these thieves who snatched the token for now? The plan might be exposed]

He was communicating with someone in the distance, frowning slightly: [Hmm... just gilding the lily. Understood, carry out the mission]

The Xuan Armor Martial Artist turned his head, glanced in the direction where Captain Lin had escaped. If it was convenient, he wouldn’t mind killing him, but now that Captain Lin had disappeared, he didn’t bother to chase and turned to race towards the only peak in the stormy, thundery night where stars were visible.

"Why, why?!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Captain Lin couldn’t fathom why, subconsciously raising his head to look in the direction the Xuan Armor Martial Artist went, towards that Nameless Mountain burning with Golden Thunder Blood Flame, causing the surrounding clouds to churn endlessly, like ocean tides.
