"Brother-in-law, thank goodness we ran fast! If we had been any later, that demon general would probably have caught up with us!"

Yan Dinghan, supporting his knees and panting heavily, looked back at the distant Fengmo Village, shrouded in smoke and filled with demonic energy. His face was filled with lingering fear, and his clothes on the back were already soaked with sweat.

At this moment, the three of them had run to the top of the Ember Demon Peak. Under their feet were rugged rocks, and in front of them was a bottomless pool of molten lava. Scorching heat waves rushed towards them, carrying a pungent smell of sulfur.

Gu Ye raised his hand to block the heat wave that was hitting him, his tone serious, "There must be a big BOSS behind us, at least a Silver Rank 5 or higher."

Even though we've run this far from Fengmo Village, we can still clearly feel his overwhelming aura, which shows just how terrifying his strength is.

He gazed at the towering main peak of Tianding Mountain, which seemed to pierce the sky. A thin layer of mist shrouded the peak, revealing faint, eerie patterns on its surface. After a long silence, he finally spoke in a deep voice:

"Don't delay, hurry up! Judging from what the wooden plaque ghost said earlier, quite a few examinees are already close to reaching the main peak."

Luo Yuerao and Yan Dinghan nodded, suppressing their fatigue and lingering fear, and quickly followed Gu Ye's steps, rushing towards the main peak of Tianding Mountain without daring to stop for even a moment.

Two hours after the three left, the demon general led a large troop of elite demon soldiers in pursuit.

The demon general was surrounded by demonic energy. With each step he took, the rocks beneath his feet were crushed. His aura remained terrifying, making the surrounding air thick and sticky.

"stop!"

At the command of the demon general, his deep voice carried an unquestionable majesty. The demon soldiers behind him instantly stopped in their tracks, moving in perfect unison without the slightest disorder. Their demonic energy subsided, yet they still exuded a bloodthirsty aura.

The demon soldier's lieutenant strode forward, knelt on one knee, his dark pupils flashing with eerie green demonic light, and his gaze swept over the spot where Gu Ye and the other two had just stood, carefully probing for any remaining traces of their presence.

"Reporting to the General."

The adjutant stood up and said respectfully, "Two men and one woman, one at the ninth level of Bronze and two at the tenth level of Bronze. The woman seems to have suffered some minor injuries, and her breathing is somewhat disordered. They are heading towards the main peak of Tianding Mountain."

Upon hearing this, the demon general nodded slightly, his deep eyes narrowing slightly, a cold glint flashing within them.

He waved his hand, his tone icy:

"keep going!"

"Yes, General!"

The demon soldiers responded in unison and followed the demon general, rushing towards the main peak. Wherever the demonic energy passed, the vegetation withered instantly, and the rocks were corroded into small pits.

.....

"call--!"

Yan Dinghan plopped down on a flat rock, panting heavily, his chest heaving, his face full of exhaustion. "Finally... finally we're out of that strange volcano. If we had stayed any longer, even if the demon general hadn't caught up with me, I would have been melted by the heat of the lava."

The three of them traveled non-stop without daring to stop for even a moment, their nerves constantly on edge, fearing that the demon general behind them might suddenly catch up. Only now, having temporarily escaped the scorching heat of the volcano, did they have a chance to catch their breath.

Just then, a loud, shrill, and mocking voice came from the jungle ahead, breaking the brief silence:

"Tsk tsk tsk! Look what I found! Three little mice running away with their heads in their hands."

Gu Ye's brows furrowed suddenly, his expression instantly becoming wary, and he looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

Several figures slowly emerged from the jungle. The leader was a man with blond hair, followed by four followers. The men were all dressed in matching black outfits with strange skull patterns embroidered on their clothes, clearly indicating that they were members of the Evil God Church.

"Oh, there's a little beauty here!"

The blond-haired man's gaze swept over Luo Yueyao and then fixed on her. His previously casual eyes suddenly narrowed, and an undisguised greed flashed in his pupils.

He stared intently at Luo Yueyao, a lewd smile curling at the corner of his mouth. His impatient expression almost overflowed from his eyes, as if he wanted to devour Luo Yueyao alive.

Luo Yuerao felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze. Her eyes instantly filled with disgust, her brows furrowed tightly, and her spiritual energy stirred slightly. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the long whip in her hand.

"Little beauty, are you tired from running?"

The blond-haired man stepped forward, his tone flippant and lewd, "Come on, lie in my arms for a while, let me give you a break, I promise I'll make you feel good."

Gu Ye's eyes turned cold, and he unconsciously took a step forward, blocking Luo Yuerao's view and completely obscuring the blond man's greedy gaze. His tone was icy and piercing, uttering only one word:

"roll!"

The blond man's face darkened instantly, and the greed in his eyes was replaced by anger. He never expected that a mere Bronze Ninth Rank kid would dare to speak to him like that.

He turned around abruptly and roared at his four henchmen behind him, "Take down these two arrogant brats!"

"Break their arms and legs! I'm going to have my way with this little beauty right in front of them. When I'm done with her, I'll give her some soup and let her taste this beauty!"

Upon hearing this, the four henchmen behind him revealed lewd smiles, their eyes filled with excitement and greed, and responded in unison:

"Alright, boss!"

"Little beauty, here we come!"

A tall, thin henchman rubbed his hands together, his face lewd as he rushed towards Luo Yueyao, activating a pale white card that shot a weak fireball toward her.

Luo Yueyao had never suffered such humiliation before. The disgust in her eyes instantly turned into anger, and her spiritual energy exploded. She suddenly pulled out her long whip.

The long whip gleamed with a pale blue luster, and fine lightning crackled around its blade, emitting a hissing sound and carrying a chilling aura and a sharp, oppressive force.

She flashed forward, charging towards them before her henchmen could get close, her eyes icy and filled with murderous intent.

Upon seeing this, Yan Dinghan immediately stood up, as if to step forward to help, but was stopped by Gu Ye.

"Let her do it."

Gu Ye shook his head slightly, his gaze falling on the church members. He said calmly, "Those people aren't very strong. There's only one Bronze Rank 9 with blond hair, and the other four are all Bronze Rank 8. Moreover, they're using some low-quality, pale white cards."

Luo Yueyao is more than capable of handling this; it's a good opportunity for her to stretch her muscles and recover.

Upon hearing this, Yan Dinghan carefully examined the auras of the church members, nodded, put away the cards in his hand, and stood aside with Gu Ye, quietly watching Luo Yuerao fight.

"【Nine-Strike Lightning Whip】!"

Luo Yue Rao let out a low shout, and the long whip in her hand danced like a serpent. The pale blue lightning instantly surged, and the whip, with a whistling wind, lashed out at the four followers who rushed up.

The light-colored cards in the hands of the four henchmen exploded instantly under the pressure of the lightning. They didn't even have time to make a defensive move before being lashed out by the long whip.

One lash, two lashes, three lashes... nine lashes fell in succession, each lash striking the henchmen with precision, and lightning instantly enveloped their bodies.

With a hissing sound and sparks flying, accompanied by ear-piercing screams, the henchmen's bodies were charred black by the lightning, and a pungent smell of burning gradually filled the air.

Gu Ye and Yan Dinghan could even clearly smell the faint aroma of meat.

Within seconds, the four henchmen collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then died, their bodies charred black, a gruesome sight.
