Qi Tian did not immediately run away; he wanted to see what exactly it was that was rapidly drilling from the underground to the surface. If there was a chance, Qi Tian also wanted to see if he could take advantage of the situation. Xu Xinge and his companion were still fighting; if they could collaborate, they might be able to inflict serious damage on that entity, and Qi Tian might be able to capitalize on that. Even if it was a retreat to consider, Qi Tian was not too worried about the dangers since he had already taken the Teleportation Talisman in his hand, ready to crush it and escape from the mystic realm at the first sign of the situation developing contrary to his expectations.

For safety, Qi Tian took several steps back to widen the distance between himself and Xu Xinge and his companion. He retreated roughly ten miles, but even so, through the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine, he could still clearly detect the thing underground, as well as the situation with Xu Xinge and his companion.

Up to this moment, Xu Xinge and his companion had not noticed that something was rapidly approaching them from underground. On one hand, their Divine Senses could not detect such a far distance; on the other, their main focus was on each other, not expecting that there were other enemies in the mystic realm apart from each other.

The fight between the two became increasingly intense. The sounds and vibrations produced during their combat further masked the noises made by the entity as it approached them from below.

Qi Tian clenched his fist; he could feel that the speed of the entity underground was getting faster, and it was not far from the surface. Soon, he would be able to see clearly what it was exactly.

A moment later, right below where Xu Xinge and his companion were fighting, the ground suddenly bulged, and then with flying dust, the mound exploded violently, revealing the entity emerging furiously from below as a fiery red shadow that pounced toward Xu Xinge and his companion.

Xu Xinge and his companion were startled. Instinctively sensing danger, both wanted to dodge; however, each was wary that their opponent might seize this moment to hinder them. Neither dared to easily withdraw their moves, resulting in the fiery red shadow charging right beside them, its claws sweeping toward each of them like two huge doors.

At this moment, everyone, including Qi Tian, could clearly see what this creature looked like. It was roughly the size of an elephant, covered in fiery red with black stripes. On its head, there was a large character “King,” with a tiger’s head, limbs, tail, and claws, and a pair of wings under its ribs—this was famously known as Huo Yunbiao, said to be the third son of a tiger.

This Huo Yunbiao exuded an overwhelming aura; surrounded by flames, its eyes gleamed fiercely. Even though Qi Tian was more than twenty miles away, he could still feel its soaring aura.

Xu Xinge and his companion, being mere inches away from Huo Yunbiao, could even more acutely feel its formidable power. As Huo Yunbiao’s tiger claws swept toward them, Xu Xinge and his companion could only muster their remaining strength to the spot about to be struck. The tiger claws fell heavily upon them.

Protective barriers lit up around Xu Xinge and his companion; after the tiger claws struck, the light from the protective barriers flickered unpredictably, shining only a few times before they shattered thunderously.

The tiger’s claws struck them, and Xu Xinge and the others simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, all flying backward.

Huo Yunbiao did not stop there; the fresh blood spewed by the two Nascent Soul Masters further incited its ferocity. It roared and pounced toward Xu Xinge. It also did not intend to spare the other Nascent Soul Master; its tail, moving like a steel whip, lashed out at the other master.

Two against one, Huo Yunbiao was just that fierce, unreasonable.

Xu Xinge had not expected that such a ferocious monster would emerge halfway through. Had he encountered Huo Yunbiao before battling the other Nascent Soul Masters, he might have mustered the spirit to entangle fiercely with Huo Yunbiao. But now, although he could not say he was at the end of his strength, he was not much better off. Battling Huo Yunbiao at this time was purely seeking death.

Xu Xinge cared for nothing else; while continuously spouting fresh blood, he hastened his escape, and the other Nascent Soul Master did the same. However, they both underestimated Huo Yunbiao.

The tail of Huo Yunbiao was extremely fast, brutally striking the other Nascent Soul Master, directly crippling them with broken bones and tendons; the master fell to the ground and couldn’t get up for quite some time. Then, with a slight flap of its wings, Huo Yunbiao’s speed suddenly elevated, turning it into a Fire Meteor, instantly closing the distance between it and Xu Xinge to zero.

Then Huo Yunbiao opened its huge, bloody mouth and bit toward Xu Xinge’s head.

Xu Xinge was terrified, almost scared out of his wits. He hastily used a secret technique, regardless of the cost, boosting his own speed. However, the activation of secret techniques took time, however brief, and he couldn’t immediately increase the distance between him and Huo Yunbiao. Thus, Huo Yunbiao’s huge mouth still closed on him.

With a crunch, one of Xu Xinge’s arms was bitten off by Huo Yunbiao. The beast crunched it like a crisp bone, chewing twice before swallowing Xu Xinge’s arm.

Xu Xinge was a Nascent Soul Master; his arm was comparable to a Spiritual Elixir Miracle Medicine, and now it had been swallowed by Huo Yunbiao. The beast’s eyes suddenly lit up. It let out an excited roar, flapping its wings repeatedly and charging toward Xu Xinge.

Xu Xinge clutched the wound on his severed arm and desperately fled, hoping to widen the gap between him and Huo Yunbiao. He knew that he absolutely must not slow down, must not allow Huo Yunbiao to catch up. If the monster caught him, he was likely to be devoured and end up as its meal. He had not cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage just to become food for a beast today.

But some things do not shift according to human will. Xu Xinge did not want Huo Yunbiao to eat him; the first step was to ensure Huo Yunbiao could not catch him. But even such a simple task proved impossible for Xu Xinge. If Huo Yunbiao had been an ordinary Spirit Beast incapable of flying and not known for its speed, then Xu Xinge might have had a chance. But now, that chance was incredibly slim.
