Chapter 18 Golden Light and Bald Head

The battlefield of the three over there had already turned into a world of ice and snow.

The surrounding houses and ground were covered with a layer of white frost.

The aftermath of the battle alone sent waves of cold tides, making people afraid to approach.

Even Dou Hongyi, a mid-stage Ren-level martial artist, felt deep dread towards the surging cold currents.

The strange creatures that approached the battlefield were frozen in place wave after wave, completely unable to join the fight.

That terrifying momentum was completely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Hearing Dou Hongyi's words, Mang Liuzi felt a little depressed and brought the news back to Yang Hongxia.

"How long is this going to drag on! If the strange creatures completely break through the protective circle and kill us, we powerless people will suffer heavy casualties..."

Yang Hongxia didn't care much about the safety of others, but her own safety had to be taken to heart.

Just as Yang Hongxia was thinking, a bald, burly man suddenly emerged from the crowd.

"Are you Yang Hongxia?"

Yang Hongxia was stunned, recognizing the person as... 'An Dong'er!'

"I'm not An Dong'er. I'm the former captain of Mo Village... Strictly speaking, I'm from Qing Si. You can call me Captain Wu."

After a pause, Captain Wu glanced around and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Dou Hongyi? Captain Ye asked me to relay a message to him. Also, you can stay by my side, and I can protect you."

Yang Hongxia saw that Captain Wu's strength was mediocre and couldn't imagine how he could protect her. Mang Liuzi was more reliable.

But thinking that this was someone Night Lord had risked his life to save and specially arranged, she naturally didn't dare to neglect him.

"I'll lead the way!"

They went to find Dou Hongyi again. They had just squeezed through the crowd and hadn't gone far when a commotion suddenly erupted in front.

Immediately afterward, a huge burst of flames lit up the night and sprayed towards them.

The people in front screamed and fled, covered in flames, in a chaotic mess.

"Get down!!"

Captain Wu shouted loudly. Before the young miss could react, Captain Wu pressed her head to the ground, causing her to bite the dirt and hurt her teeth.

If it weren't for the scorching heat whistling overhead, which clearly indicated that Captain Wu was eager to save people and had good intentions, even though he lacked finesse and didn't understand what was best for a girl, Yang Hongxia would probably have started cursing him.

When the flames passed, the surrounding people were in an uproar and scattered in all directions.

Dou Hongyi was still very far away, which meant the guards of the protective circle were also very far away.

She didn't know how this strange creature had sneaked in...

Just as Yang Hongxia thought of this, she looked up and saw the appearance of the strange creature, immediately stopping her thoughts.

She saw that the strange creature had a huge belly, floating in mid-air as if drifting.

The fat belly had wounds stitched together, and foul-smelling pus flowed from the wounds.

The eyes and mouth on its head were filled with intense flames, as if it would breathe fire at any moment.

Some martial artists around the [Nong Liu Gui] (Pus Flow Wraith) who thought they had some strength jumped up to fight it.

As a result, they were all engulfed in flames with a single puff and rolled down.

"Young Miss, step back!"

Mang Liuzi seemed to feel pressure from Captain Wu and suddenly became active.

With a loud shout, he rushed up.

Unlike the others, even injured, Mang Liuzi's strength was still decent in the Xiantian realm.

Like a cannonball, he rushed towards the [Nong Liu Gui] in mid-air. Before the [Nong Liu Gui] could react, the man and the wraith had already crossed paths.

Whoosh!

Pus spewed out, causing the people below to scream in agony.

Some people were even completely corroded of their flesh by the pus, their heads turning into skulls before collapsing to the ground and dying.

Although the [Nong Liu Gui] wailed miserably, that was all.

It seemed that the large sword wound on its stomach wasn't a particularly serious injury for it.

Instead, as if enraged, its bulging belly contracted sharply, its head swelled and enlarged, and then it opened its mouth and spewed a large fire at Mang Liuzi.

Rumble!

Facing an unknown strange creature, failing to concentrate fully on defense and combat, a single mistake was enough to be fatal!

Even a lion uses all its strength when hunting a rabbit!

Mang Liuzi was eager to show off and neglected his defenses, which was why he fell victim to the attack.

Feeling that his life was about to end, he knelt on the ground, despairing and in pain.

At this moment, if someone was willing...

"Let me!"

Wh...

A loud roar made Mang Liuzi suddenly regain his senses.

Looking up at mid-air again, he saw a bald, burly man with golden light flashing in his eyes, maintaining a long-jump stance, holding a fist in his right hand, and punching the [Nong Liu Gui]'s face.

The moment the fist hit the [Nong Liu Gui], faint golden light flickered, and a phoenix cry seemed to sound intermittently.

Bang!!

With a loud bang, the [Nong Liu Gui], whose face was struck by the bald, burly man's punch, actually fell apart on the spot, turning into a rain of flesh and blood.

And the flames burning wildly on Mang Liuzi's body also went out at the same time!

The undying fire stopped burning, and Mang Liuzi... miraculously survived!

At this moment, Mang Liuzi looked at Captain Wu as if he were looking at a god.

"Captain Wu... Martial God! From today on, you are my faith!"
