Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Time ticked by, second by second, in this tense atmosphere.

A few minutes later, tens of thousands of gold-eating rats suddenly emerged from every corner, surging towards Wang Xueyi and Wang Panfeng from all directions like a tide.

Upon seeing this, both of their expressions changed drastically.

However, to save their lives, the two had no choice but to take action.

Instantly, the blinding blade light and the giant palm of spiritual energy intertwined, annihilating thousands of Gold-Eating Rats in an instant.

However, due to the use of martial arts techniques, the toxins in their bodies reacted even faster.

At the same time, even more gold-eating rats attacked the two of them.

"Where did all these rat demons come from!"

Wang Xueyi looked at the densely packed, seemingly endless swarms of gold-devouring rats and instantly felt a chill run down his spine, then roared in fury.

Wang Panfeng, standing to the side, had a gloomy expression as he continuously swung his broadsword, unleashing massive blades of light, each over ten meters long, to annihilate the Gold-Eating Rat before him.

However, at that moment, a noise suddenly came from the feet of the two people next to Wang Panfeng and Wang Xueyi.

Before the two could react, a large number of gold-devouring rats surged out from under their feet and swallowed their feet whole.

Although the spiritual power within a Martial Venerable Realm expert has become solidified and possesses the ability to form spiritual power armor, they can use spiritual power to create armor to protect their entire body, greatly increasing their defense.

However, the Gold-Eating Rat can easily gnaw through even magical artifacts, let alone energy-based spiritual armor.

In the face of the Gold-Eating Rat, the spiritual armor was practically useless.

In addition, there are many gold-eating rats, and they eat quickly.

By the time the two realized what was happening, their feet had already been completely devoured by the Gold-Eating Rat.

The intense pain caused both of them to scream in agony at the same time.

At the same time, the ground beneath their feet collapsed.

Their bodies fell straight down.

Just then, two attacks came simultaneously towards Wang Panfeng and Wang Xueyi.

One of the attacks came from the Gold-Eating Rat King. Its body moved like lightning, instantly darting out from beside Wang Xueyi, and then its incredibly sharp teeth bit directly into Wang Xueyi's neck.

Instantly, the blood vessels in Wang Xueyi's neck ruptured, and blood gushed out.

The other attack, of course, came from Chu Yunfan.

He held the Wind Spirit Sword, fully unleashing the wind sword intent within his body, and unleashed his fastest sword strike.

The first move of the Gale Sword Technique – The Sword Rises with the Wind.

It is worth mentioning that during this period, Chu Yunfan's swordsmanship improved further, and he had mastered the "Wind Rises Sword" move to a high level.

With the enhancement of the Wind Spirit Sword, this sword strike was incredibly fast, and the tip of the sword was already pressed against the back of Wang Panfeng's head as soon as it was drawn.

Feeling the coldness from the back of his head, Wang Panfeng immediately sensed a great danger, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

At the critical moment, he realized that he could not dodge this sword.

In an instant, a fierce glint flashed in Wang Panfeng's eyes, and a thought stirred in his mind.

Then, a bright red sphere with a somewhat rough surface appeared in his hand.

"Let's die together!"

Wang Panfeng roared inwardly.

Immediately afterwards, the fiery red sphere in his hand suddenly released an incredibly powerful surge of spiritual energy.

Chu Yunfan, who was standing to the side, felt the fluctuation of this power, and his pupils dilated and his expression changed drastically.

However, before he could slip away...

A massive explosion engulfed him and Wang Panfeng.

A loud "boom" was heard, and earth and rocks flew everywhere, instantly creating a huge crater with a diameter of over a hundred meters.

Flames were still burning in the giant pit.

That's the power of that fiery red sphere from before.

This fiery red sphere has a resounding name: Thunder and Fire Pearl.

The so-called Thunderfire Pearl, as the name suggests, is made by continuously compressing fire and lightning attributes and then containing them in a fixed material to form this spherical shape.

When in use, simply inject a little spiritual power into the Thunderfire Pearl to detonate it and unleash tremendous power.

Depending on their power, Thunderfire Pearls are divided into many grades.

The Thunderfire Thunderbolt Bead that Wang Panfeng just used was a fourth-tier Thunderfire Thunderbolt Bead, with power comparable to the full-force attack of a Martial Venerable Realm early stage expert.

Of course, this is just a regular fourth-tier Thunderfire Bead.

A true fourth-tier Thunderfire Pearl, containing both thunder and fire power.

That power is truly terrifying.

Once it explodes, all living things within a one-kilometer radius will disappear.

Of course, above the fourth-tier Thunderfire Thunder Pearl, there are even higher-tier Thunderfire Thunder Pearls, whose power is devastating.

However, this is beyond Chu Yunfan's current reach.

At this moment, even a single ordinary fourth-tier Thunderfire Bead had already severely injured him.

He barely escaped this calamity only because he transformed into the body of a Kunpeng in time and used the defensive secret technique from the "Great Kunpeng Technique".

However, even so, his situation at this moment is far from optimistic.

Its white fur was charred black, its two huge wings were riddled with holes and tattered, and several bones in its body were broken, with blood flowing freely.

He was already critically injured and on the verge of death.

"Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, this person actually reacted and released the Thunderfire Pearl, such a deadly weapon."

As expected, Martial Venerable Realm experts are not so easy to deal with!

Chu Yunfan sighed inwardly, and without thinking too much, he took out the Millennium Spirit Milk from his storage ring and quickly drank a sip.

Just as Chu Yunfan took out the Millennium Spirit Milk, the Gold-Eating Rat King, with its fur disheveled and its face in a sorry state, also crawled out from underground.

The Gold-Eating Rat King was far more sensitive to energy and danger than Chu Yunfan. Therefore, it was the first to sense the energy fluctuations of the Thunderfire Pearl and quickly burrowed into the ground. It then used Wang Xueyi's corpse as cover, which is how it managed to survive.

However, judging from its limping appearance, it was probably seriously injured.

At this moment, it was staring longingly at the millennium-old spiritual milk in Chu Yunfan's hand.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan didn't hesitate and shared a bite with it.

After all, if the Gold-Eating Rat King hadn't reminded him in time, he might not have been able to react in time.

A moment later, Chu Yunfan, whose injuries had temporarily improved, immediately led the Gold-Eating Rat King and the other Gold-Eating Rats away from the area.

After all, such a commotion could very well have attracted the attention of other cultivators or demonic beasts.

Given Chu Yunfan and the Gold-Eating Rat King's current condition, staying here would be very dangerous.

Indeed, this was exactly what happened. The huge burst of fire that erupted when the Thunderfire Pearl exploded immediately attracted the attention of the Wang family members at the entrance of the Mountain Range, who were responsible for collecting and transmitting intelligence.

Immediately afterwards, several members of the Wang family arrived at the site of the explosion.

Subsequently, they sent a message to Wang Wenbo, the head of the Wang family, who was far away in Lianshan City.
