"Senior, what happened to you?"
Seeing the young man fly backward, Niu Geng couldn't help but exclaim.
After struggling for a long time, the young man finally leaned against a Phoenix Tree and stood up, weakly saying, "This monster's strength has increased tremendously compared to before. I am no match for him."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jing and the others couldn't help but show despair on their faces, while Niu Geng's expression changed unpredictably, as if weighing something.
"Kekeke, today Wutong City will be your place of demise!" one of the heads of the Four-Headed Monster suddenly spoke.
The crowd's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this. Just as despair filled their hearts, a calm laugh suddenly rang out: "Hehe, who meets their end today is still uncertain!"
Everyone was startled by this voice and turned to look in its direction.
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in their sight.
"Aotian!"
Niu Geng and the others exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the newcomer.
The young man also carefully scrutinized Aotian, seemingly trying to discern some miraculous quality about him.
Aotian seemed to sense the young man's gaze and couldn't help but turn to look. The two locked eyes, and both felt a shiver run through their bodies.
To the young man, Aotian's gaze appeared extremely sharp, as if he were an eagle soaring high in the sky. That piercing look was enough to penetrate the defenses of one's heart.
From Aotian's perspective, this mysterious young man was also quite Extraordinary. Despite his seemingly cynical demeanor, the pride in his eyes was unmistakable.
He was a person with backbone, someone who would rather break than bend!
A rough concept of this young man suddenly emerged in Aotian's mind.
After exchanging a glance, both of them simultaneously shifted their gaze away.
"Aotian, you are still alive?!" The four heads of the Four-Headed Monster exclaimed in unison.
Aotian turned to look, his face instantly filled with astonishment.
Before him stood the Four-Headed Monster, which had a human body that was not much different from a regular person, except for the four heads protruding from its neck, each facing east, south, west, and north.
Of course, what truly shocked Aotian was not that this creature had four heads, but that these four heads were extremely familiar to him.
For they belonged to Qin Family's head Qin Zhengming, Elder Qin, and two other members of the Qin Family who served as Offerings.
"Damn it, why do these four heads look like they are fused together?" Aotian asked in disbelief.
The expression on the Four-Headed Monster turned sinister as Qin Zhengming spoke with deep resentment:
“Aotian, you deserve to die! If it weren't for you bringing people to Wutong City, none of this would have happened today. Although I don't know why the Fire Master didn't take your life, I will kill you myself today!”
Aotian clutched his heart, pretending to be very scared, and said, “Oh dear, I'm so afraid. I wonder who was crying and begging for mercy before!”
“Damn it!”
The Four-Headed Monster roared in anger, and a massive beam of Mystical Energy shot out from its palm, fiercely striking towards Aotian.
Aotian's expression tightened, and he punched the Mystical Energy beam with all his might.
“Boom!”
Upon collision, both sides were forced to step back a step, revealing a scene of equal strength.
“Aotian, be careful! Qin Zhengming and the others have unleashed some unknown Secret Technique that has connected their heads together and greatly increased their power,” Sun Jing warned as he saw Aotian was not gaining the upper hand.
Hearing this, Aotian's expression became serious. He had already pushed his Transformation Technique and physical strength to their peak but still couldn't gain an advantage. This showed how troublesome the Four-Headed Monster truly was.
“Aotian, it's all because of you that we have become these half-human, half-ghost monsters. I must kill you!” Qin Zhengming shouted hoarsely, his voice sounding somewhat mournful, like a vengeful spirit demanding retribution.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Four-Headed Monster quickly formed mysterious hand seals, which transformed into a long spear that lunged fiercely at Aotian.
The spear moved at an incredible speed, tearing through the air and descending before Aotian.
Seeing this, Aotian did not dare to be the slightest bit careless and hurriedly activated the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body. Instantly, a mix of icy blue and fiery red surged beneath his skin. The spear then struck fiercely against Aotian's body.
A sound reminiscent of metal clashing echoed, and everyone saw the spear hit Aotian, creating a spark that left only a faint white mark on his skin.
Upon witnessing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock. They had a deep understanding of the power of the spear wielded by the Four-Headed Monster. However, it had only left a white mark on Aotian's body; how terrifying must Aotian's physical body be?
The young man watching this suddenly had his eyes burst with brilliant light as he murmured, "No wonder he is highly regarded by the Grand Elder; he truly is somewhat extraordinary."
"Damn it, Aotian, why has your physical body suddenly become so strong?!" Qin Zhengming exclaimed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Aotian chuckled and replied, "I have to thank you Fire Master for this fortuitous encounter!"
"What? Your physical body has reached this level because of the Fire Master’s help?!" Qin Zhengming and his companions exclaimed in disbelief, their eyes revealing unmasked anger.
However, this is understandable. The Qin Family has been preparing for the Fire Phoenix for many years and can be said to be loyal to it. But in the end, the Fire Phoenix did not help the Qin Family deal with Aotian; instead, it helped Aotian strengthen his physical body, which naturally filled the Qin Family with rage.
"This is impossible! The Fire Master would never enhance your physical body!" one of the Qin Family's Offerings shouted.
Upon hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but show a hint of amusement on his face and then said, "Heh, what’s impossible about it? I was captured by your Fire Master for a while, and when I returned, my physical strength had greatly increased. Doesn’t that say something?"
Qin Zhengming and the others were left speechless by Aotian's words because what he said made perfect sense. Being captured by the Fire Phoenix for a period of time and then having a significant increase in physical power would be hard for anyone to believe that it wasn't due to the Fire Phoenix's "contribution."
Seeing that Qin Zhengming and the others looked utterly dejected, Aotian couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He did not reveal the truth to them because sometimes psychological attacks can be more powerful than physical ones.
The people of the Qin Family devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the Fire Phoenix, only to be abandoned in the end. This kind of blow was enough to drive them insane.
"Then where is the Fire Master now?" Elder Qin asked, looking somewhat dazed.
Aotian rolled his eyes and replied, "I’m not sure, but they have already left Wutong City..."
