With the ma.s.sive number of locusts a.s.saulting them, Xiang Shaoyun's group couldn't avoid the battle either. Tang Longfei, punching repeatedly, took the lead and opened a path of blood for the group. As for Lady Shura and Ning Wenhuang, they took care of the flanks, helping the group advance. Xiang Shaoyun stayed with the Han Clan sisters and Money as they took care of the rear.

”Both of you, focus on defense. Money, focus on offense. I will open a path with Big Brother Tang,” said Xiang Shaoyun after a while. He felt like he couldn't allow this to continue on. Thus, he flew forward and helped Tang Longfei to fight the locusts.

With the heavy armor on him, he could only move as fast as a regular peak King. However, that much speed was enough to deal with his current situation. He slammed out his palms everywhere, sending out numerous tongues of flame to burn all the locusts around them.

He attacked using the power of Yun Flame, which was a high level flame. Each locust was immediately ignited the moment the flame touched it. The large number of the locusts provided them both advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages was that the moment they were burned, they started fleeing in disarray, spreading the flame to the other locusts. In a way, they would harm their own companions, allowing flame attacks to be even more destructive.

With Xiang Shaoyun's help, the pressure on the group reduced as they quickly carved a way through the locusts around them. At this moment, a Demon Emperor locust appeared before them and attacked. It spewed a ma.s.sive clump of green venom that enveloped the group. It was a terrifying attack an ordinary person would not be able to resist.

”Big Brother Tang, bring them away first. I'll deal with it,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he erupted with the power of flame, surrounding himself in a clump of raging fire.

At the same time, he clawed with both his hands and ripped the curtain of venom apart. Yun Flame was worthy of being a high-level unique flame, as its destructiveness had reached an exceedingly dreadful level. Instantly, the curtain of venom evaporated. Even the Demon Emperor locust did not dare to approach them.

A flame at that level was enough to threaten any Emperor. At that moment, Tang Longfei and the others quickly flew away. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he protected the rear before quickly leaving, not willing to waste too much time fighting the locust. As for the locust, it could sense that Xiang Shaoyun was a difficult opponent, so it did not give chase. Instead, it moved on to the other young geniuses in the area.

After about half a day of continuous battle, Xiang Shaoyun and company were finally free of the locusts. They were about to continue traveling when they noticed that the young geniuses ahead of them were suffering the attacks of other groups of demonic beasts, causing them to halt.

”Sure enough, this is not an easy test,” Tang Longfei sighed.

”We shouldn't waste any time. Let's charge through, or we won't make it in time,” said Ning Wenhuang anxiously.

”There's no rush. You guys should take a small break to recover your energy. I will scout ahead and see what we should do next,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”Yes, listen to Shaoyun,” Tang Longfei said.

And thus, the group landed on the mountain range below them and took the chance to rest. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he extended the senses granted to him by his Nether Soul Domain and started scouting ahead, trying his very best to figure out the situations ahead of him so he could pick the most suitable path for their travel.

Soon, he discovered the direction with the lowest number of demonic beasts. Furthermore, the demonic beasts there were also the weakest compared to the other directions. Thus, he led the group in the direction he had discovered.

This time, they opted to travel on foot so as to prevent being discovered by more demonic beasts. Although their speed dropped as a result, it was much better than being constantly under the a.s.sault of demonic beasts.
