Xiang Shaoyun's earth shattering attack crushed the flame beast king's attack, but the impact still sent him tumbling down the mountain. He coughed blood repeatedly as he rolled down the steep mountain in a sorry manner.

However, his attack had also opened up an opportunity for Chen Zilong and Li Yaxuan. The two joined hands and attacked, blasting the flame beast king apart. The flame beast king's demonic core appeared before them. Not far away, Xie Sanqian was watching everything unfold, and he coveted the demonic core greatly, but he did not dare to s.n.a.t.c.h something from Chen Zilong and Li Yaxuan.

”We got the demonic core!” Chen Zilong said as he quickly grabbed it.

Li Yaxuan did not bother fighting over the core with him. She was here to help him in the first place. She glanced at Xiang Shaoyun who was tumbling down the mountain and sighed, ”Without him, we wouldn't have been able to kill the beast king so easily.”

Chen Zilong also glanced in Xiang Shaoyun's direction and smiled. ”He is a worthy opponent.” He then tossed the demonic core to Li Yaxuan and said, ”Sister Xuan, keep it. Let's go down together.”

”Don't you need it?” Li Yaxuan looked at Chen Zilong in astonishment.

”I don't,” Chen Zilong said confidently. Standing there with his fiery Qilin Arms, he looked incomparably heroic.

At this time, the other group had just finished off the flame beast king they were fighting as well. However, the group was made up of many different parties. Thus, they started fighting among themselves for the demonic core.

Although Chen Zilong and Li Yaxuan had arrived later than some of them, they were the first to go down into the crater. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he stabilized himself and stopped falling. However, his inner organs were still aching, as he had sustained internal injuries from the flame beast king's attack.

”Looks like I had worked hard for nothing.” Xiang Shaoyun smiled helplessly.

If he hadn't broken through not long ago, he wouldn't have faced the flame beast king head on. He rejoiced that he was wearing king-grade armor. Otherwise, he would have suffered an even worse fate. He did not feel discouraged. After dissolving some healing herbs in his astral cosmos sea to heal himself, he started climbing toward the volcanic crater again.

When Xiang Shaoyun arrived at the summit again, Huo Linfei, Qian Chen, Fan Ren, and the others were still fighting. He knew that there was still one demonic core up for grabs. He would have to rely on himself to get it.

Currently, the holder of the demonic core was Fan Ren. He alone suffered the combined a.s.sault of Huo Linfei and Qian Chen, yet he still remained standing and was not defeated immediately. It was obvious how valiant his combat prowess was.

He had an extremely powerful defensive technique that formed a s.h.i.+ny s.h.i.+eld around him, which was how he had been able to stop the combined a.s.sault of Huo Linfei and Qian Chen. At the same time, he swept his ma.s.sive sword around madly, forcing the two to retreat instead.

”I don't care who you are. Hand over the demonic core or die!” Huo Linfei said as his figure blurred. He swung his blazing saber, sending a saber attack from a tricky angle and demolished Fan Ren's attack. He followed up with even more attacks that placed Fan Ren in a terrible predicament.

Qian Chen was no pushover either. He stabbed his sword forward repeatedly, sending numerous sharp sword energies that rained down on Fan Ren's s.h.i.+eld, creating numerous sparks. No matter how powerful Fan Ren's defense was, facing two opponents as powerful as himself, he had no way of breaking free and entering the crater.

Right this moment, Fan Ren caught a glimpse of Xiang Shaoyun who was not far away from them. A crafty smile formed on his dark face as he shouted to Xiang Shaoyun, ”Catch the demonic core!” Then, a red item was seen flying toward Xiang Shaoyun.
