Chapter 714 - 699: Scram! Or Die

At this moment, the Ancient Flame Demon that had broken through the defensive line landed its massive body before Gong Lanyan, the impact sending dark brown rocks scattering in all directions.

Its fist, wreathed in roiling flames, tore through the air with a piercing whistle as it smashed down toward Gong Lanyan’s head!

Although the Ancient Flame Demon was powerful, it was also somewhat clumsy and couldn’t match the speed of Dongfang Jian and the others.

But now, it was a fraction too late for them to intervene and save her!

Just then, a black figure suddenly shot forward, leaving a long trail of afterimages in the clearing!

No one present could see who had arrived, let alone whether they were friend or foe. Everyone’s heart leaped in shock!

Previously, Gong Lanyan had been severely injured by someone from the White Bone Hall precisely because of a moment of carelessness!

Just as Dongfang Jian and the others watched with eyes wide in horror, the black figure appeared between Gong Lanyan and the Ancient Flame Demon.

"Hmph!"

A soft snort, one that made the six people present overjoyed, rang out.

Shen Lang stood ramrod straight, his gaze cold. His right leg whipped out in a whirlwind kick, soaring high over his head to strike the Flame Demon’s descending fist squarely!

The Flame Demon’s fist was enormous, at least five or six times larger than Shen Lang’s foot.

But when the massive fist and the sole of his foot collided with a thunderous BOOM, the Flame Demon’s fist was violently knocked aside!

WHOOSH!

Without pausing after the kick, Shen Lang leaped nearly two meters into the air and planted his left foot on the Flame Demon’s chest!

Before the Flame Demon could retreat, Shen Lang spun in mid-air. His right leg lashed out like a whip, instantly cracking against the Flame Demon’s flaming head!

BAM!

With just one kick, the Flame Demon’s head was sent flying like a soccer ball. It crashed into the chest of another Flame Demon that was pouncing on Dongfang Jian, sending that one flying as well!

An Ancient Flame Demon, nearly as strong as an ordinary expert at the First Heaven of the King Martial Realm, had its head kicked off by Shen Lang in a single exchange!

Dongfang Jian and the others were so overjoyed that they even forgot about the numerous other Flame Demons charging them from behind!

A Flame Demon’s Life Energy comes from the Heart of the Flame Demon in its chest. Losing its head weakened it, but the blow was not fatal.

Just as Shen Lang began to fall, the headless Flame Demon threw an uppercut with its left fist, punching toward his abdomen as if it were shattering space itself!

Shen Lang vanished from mid-air. In a mere instant, he reappeared behind the Flame Demon!

While still airborne, Shen Lang kicked backward without even looking, striking the Flame Demon squarely in the back!

The power in that foot, wreathed in lightning, was unimaginable, its speed unbelievable. A single kick caused the Flame Demon’s massive body to fall apart, shattering into pieces!

A Heart of the Flame Demon, still burning with raging flames, was easily caught by Gong Lanyan, whose eyes were now open.

Using the recoil from that kick, Shen Lang shot off like an arrow released from its bow, charging toward the space behind Dongfang Jian!

The violent Thunder Power gathering on his right fist drew the gazes of all the surrounding experts from the various major sects.

"Die!"

Shen Lang let out a sudden, soft shout. A piercing sound of breaking air erupted as his fist, crackling with lightning, left a fleeting rift in the air and smashed brutally into the chest of the Ancient Flame Demon behind Dongfang Jian!

As everyone expected, the Ancient Flame Demon’s tough body, which had frustrated the experts from every sect, was effortlessly melted through by Shen Lang’s punch, leaving a massive hole!

You could see right through to the other side!

And the Heart of the Flame Demon, the source of the creature’s energy, was punched clean out of its body!

The few Elder Ancestors from the Profound Dao Sect and the other four of the Five Sects were fine; they were hardly surprised.

But Duanmu Rongrong and the others in the distance were completely dumbfounded...

Even though they had witnessed Shen Lang’s power when he advanced to the King Martial Realm on Cangxia Mountain, the experts from the various sects were still left clicking their tongues in amazement at this scene!

"So fast! He’s just too fast! My eyes can barely even follow him!"

"It’s not just his speed. That power far surpasses what you’d expect from the First and Second Heaven of the King Martial Realm... He pierced the Flame Demon’s body with a single punch! Before, I only managed to leave a dent with my Fourth Grade Profound Artifact!"

"As expected of the guy who withstood the Nine-Nine Tribulation Thunder with his physical body. He’s too powerful..."

"Hey! We’re having such a hard time, we’re basically at a dead end... But with Shen Lang here, doesn’t that mean we can all be saved?! With his power, I’m afraid even someone at the King Martial Realm Fifth Heaven might not be his match!"

This comment served as a sudden reminder to the sighing experts from the various sects, and they all came to their senses!

Word spread like wildfire among the people from every sect in the Stone Forest, and everyone began to converge on this location!

Meanwhile, the other four Ancient Flame Demons that had been attacking Dongfang Jian’s group seemed to realize they had met a formidable foe. They abandoned their opponents and charged violently toward Shen Lang in unison!

The four Flame Demons continuously huffed hot air from their mouths, roaring again and again. The flames around their bodies burned ever brighter as their momentum surged.

As they charged, their stomping feet kicked up a violent gale, sending sand and stones flying!

A wave of oppressive heat rushed toward Shen Lang.

"Xiaolang, be careful!"

Dongfang Jian shouted.

But his words were unnecessary. Shen Lang’s combat power was more than enough to handle these brutes.

The moment the four Ancient Flame Demons charged, Shen Lang moved. He shifted three meters to the side, proactively entering the circle of their encirclement!

The four Flame Demons possessed high Spiritual Wisdom. Seeing Shen Lang willingly enter the center of their encirclement, they all paused for a moment, and the fists they were aiming at him slowed for a fraction of a second...

In that almost negligible instant, Shen Lang struck out with his leg like lightning!

He stood on the spot, straight as a javelin. With his left foot planted like the point of a compass, he spun, his right leg lashing out with four kicks!

The four kicks seemed to be delivered in the same instant, as if four different people were attacking at once. Each kick landed on one of the Flame Demon’s massive fists.

Amidst a thunderous ROAR, the rocks covering the four Flame Demons’ fists mostly shattered, and their huge bodies were thrown violently backward!

Ripples of ferocious Powerful Qi and hot air surged outward in all directions, forcing Dongfang Jian and the others to shield their faces and retreat several steps!

Just as the four Flame Demons were sent flying through the air, Shen Lang spun, crossed his hands over his chest, and then yanked them apart!

A massive Thunder Ball formed in an instant!

"Thunder Control Divine Technique, Heaven and Earth Net!"

With a soft shout, four bolts of lightning as thick as an arm shot out from the Thunder Ball, instantly piercing the chests of the four Flame Demons still in mid-air!

KRA-KOW!

The immense Thunder Power not only pierced the four Flame Demons’ chests but also slammed their bodies violently onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!

By now, the experts from the various sects had all gathered in this direction.

Because they were gathering, the Ancient Flame Demons that had been besieging them now started to encircle this area, with Shen Lang at the center!

The smile that had just appeared on Dongfang Jian’s face vanished as he realized what was happening. He started jumping up and down, cursing, "Dammit, get away! Get away! Don’t come over here... you bastards!"

But with a savior like Shen Lang having finally appeared, how could these sly old foxes from the various sects possibly let this opportunity go?

The group of old-timers selectively ignored Dongfang Jian’s shouts and instead sped up, moving closer to Shen Lang!

"Aiya, Little Brother Shen Lang! Long time no see, long time no see!" one of the most shameless among them called out, extending a hand from afar as if he’d seen an old friend and wanted to shake hands.

Meanwhile, watching the surging horde of Ancient Flame Demons, Shen Lang’s gaze finally grew a little solemn.

SHING!

The Immortal Celestial Saber was suddenly unsheathed, releasing a terrifying aura from its long blade.

The Ancient Flame Demons, naturally sensitive to death and threats, all paused for a moment under the intimidating pressure of the Immortal Celestial Saber, their advance slowing.

"Get lost! Or die!"

Shen Lang’s boundless Divine Thought smashed into the hundred-odd Ancient Flame Demons like a thunderclap!

A moment of silence fell over the Stone Forest. The horde of Flame Demons actually stopped in their tracks.

In the eyes of these Flame Demons, at this moment, Shen Lang’s figure seemed like that of a Giant, forcing them to look up in awe...
