Chapter 733: Appear Strong on the Outside, Weak on the Insid
ble energy subduing Lu Xia Tian earlier, so this sudden assault caught them off guard, leaving them momentarily disadvantaged. The immense shockwave pushed their floating island thousands of meters ba...The newly escaped deadly infant monk was also taken aback by the large amount of Brahma Fire released by Lu Xia Tian. Apparently, he remembered their fight last time because Xiang Lian'er crossed the tribulation, and only then did he realize that Lu Xia Tian had actually only used his formation power last time. If even Brahma Fire was used, whether he could escape alive was really uncertain.
The Vermillion Astral Fire swept out, rapidly carving a space within the surging flames of the Jiuling Hearthfire. Even the yellow light released by the tenth-tier Yao Ni, causing a gravitational anomaly from its magical power centered on the earth, was severely distorted under the Vermillion Astral Fire's burning. That immense pulling force was suddenly reduced considerably.
Everyone felt a lightness in their bodies and were overjoyed. They fled desperately, each person for themselves. Lu Xiaoteng's body flew, and in the blink of an eye, he also temporarily escaped the most dangerous area.

“No!” A heart-wrenching scream echoed from behind.
Xiang Sicheng, Lu Xiaitian and others cried out in alarm, turning back to see the giant claws of the tenth-rank demon beast descending from behind, enveloping Jin Changdao who had been a little slower to escape. It pressed down on him from above.
Jin Changdao's face was grim as he swung his centipede staff, three golden centipedes frantically biting at the giant claw dropped by the tenth-order demonic beast. But things weren't going his way. No matter how wildly the three golden centipedes attacked, they couldn't stop the claw from closing in, crushing Jin Changdao directly within its grasp.
“Ant!” The tenth-tier demonic lion spat out two words coldly, its giant claws slowly closing, Jin Changdao operating his mana throughout his body, his face turning red directly, but he couldn't stop the increasing binding force.

With a deafening roar, Jin Changdao's body was directly crushed by the tenth-order demonic beast. The demonic beast stuck out a snake-like crimson tongue from its mouth, rolling up all the blood mist and swallowing it.

Even someone as bold as Lu Xiaottian felt a chill down his spine. At this moment, no one had any desire to stay; they fled in terror for their lives.
With a deafening roar, at this very moment, from behind the ten-tiered demonic rhinoceros, came a sound of earth-shaking tremors.
“Consider yourselves lucky this time. Next time, I'll slaughter every single one of you.” Tieji Backed Demon Leopard snorted and turned to leave, leaving the crowd with only a proud, overbearing figure that seemed destined for greatness.
But at this time, no one dared to look back. After all, their group had suffered too many casualties just now, but the tenth-order demon cat wasn't even scratched a single hair and was facing a one-sided massacre.
Not until he was near the ambush site set up by the second contingent of soldiers under Xiang Si City did Lu Xia Tian suddenly stop and cease his advance.
“Lu Daoist, why are you doing this” Xiang Sicheng had been rather annoyed by Lu Xiaottian’s insistence on following him even when in danger. Now, seeing Lu Xiaottian’s unusual behavior, he couldn’t help but ask with a hint of curiosity.
“I was thinking, since the Iron-Spined Backed Demonic Lion killed us so easily, why would it suddenly turn around” Lu Xia Tian said calmly.
“Perhaps other cultivators or monsters appeared. There was a thunderous explosion behind us just now, probably threatening the tenth-order demon lion's lair.” Old Monster Mu still looked shaken.

“Other demons Demons have a stronger sense of territory than even our human race. The talk of demons is a bit far-fetched. Perhaps it was another group of humans who took advantage of the fact that we were holding back the Iron Spined Demon Lion, trying to take advantage of the situation.”
Lu Xia Tian shook his head and said, "Actually, the reason I stopped wasn't because I thought there were other human cultivators. Instead, through the Qiantian fish eye, I saw a very interesting scene. The Tiezhi Backed Demon Lioness, who had exited everyone's line of sight, was no longer as domineering and invincible as before. Instead, it opened its mouth wide and spat out a large mouthful of blood. Its original majestic and ferocious appearance, which had slaughtered everything in its path, suddenly became wilted and weak. "
Under the watchful gaze of the Qianyitian fish, the Tieji Back Demon Lion suddenly covered its chest with a deep bone-visible wound, looking extremely painful.
At this moment, Lu Xiaotian suddenly realized. The fierce appearance of the Iron Thorn Backed Demon Lion before was all a facade. It was actually seriously injured.
In the records passed down by ancient cultivators, it is said that ten-tiered demonic beasts can already be called demon cultivators, with opened spiritual intelligence, no less than ordinary human cultivators. At this time, Lu Xiaoteng deeply agreed. The cunning of this tenth-tier Tiezhi Back Demon Ni was even more outstanding than that of the human race.
Just now, Lu Xiaotian was also frightened by the Iron Thorn Backed Demon Beast. If it hadn't been for him coincidentally discovering through Qian Tian Yu Mu that this demon was actually deceiving people, Lu Xiaitian would have absolutely not dared to stay. Instead, he would have run as far away as possible. After all, even if the Nascent Soul Fruit is good, he has to be alive to get it. Besides, Lu Xiaitian would never take such a risk against a level ten demon beast that he couldn't defeat at all.
Lu Xia Tian himself hadn't expected it. Originally, the use of Qian Tian Yu Mu was just to guard against Xiang Si Cheng potentially betraying him after obtaining the Jie Ying Guo. He never thought that unintentionally, this action would lead to such a dramatic scene.
"Oh no! Discovered." Lu Xia Tian's deputy primordial spirit was using the Qitian Fish Eye to look down on the Tieji Backed Demon Tiger from a high vantage point, and unintentionally made such a huge discovery.

Lu Xiaotian's divine sense is inevitably fluctuating, but he didn't expect that even across such a distance and with his array formations and restrictions in the middle, Tieji back demon rhinoceros would still sense something amiss.
Lu Xiaoteng felt a bit depressed. The treasure, Qian Tian Yu Mu, wasn't particularly useful in normal circumstances. If it weren't placed on that towering mountaintop and protected by an array, it would be easily discovered elsewhere.

However, the role it can play in this particular environment is irreplaceable. I didn't expect to be discovered by the Iron Spiked Back Demon Cat. It seems that this Sky-Drying Fish Eye is no longer safe.
As the saying goes, a Rank 10 monster truly lives up to its reputation. As a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, Lu Xiaoteng had read about the formidable power of Rank 10 monsters in ancient texts before, but after all, those were just hearsay. Only through firsthand experience could he truly appreciate their terrifying might. The chasm between a Rank 10 monster and a Golden Core cultivator was even wider than he had imagined.
Lu Xia Tian sighed inwardly. However, to his surprise, the Iron Spined Back Demon Cat noticed that something around it was beneficial. Something on the distant mountaintop had been watching it just now.
The Iron-Spined Demon Cat realized that its weakened state after the previous injury had been exposed to others' eyes. A flicker of panic suddenly flashed in its originally cold eyes, and its figure quickened, rapidly accelerating its retreat.
"This is just your guess. Do you really expect us to follow you to our deaths" The Life-Claiming Infant Monk, having barely escaped death before, showed little interest in his suggestion of a return engagement.
“You’re right, since that’s the case, I’ll go back and take a look first.” Lu Xia Tian knew that his words wouldn't convince the shaken cultivators. So he didn't say much, took a step, and disappeared several zhang away.
Everyone present was stunned by Lu Xiaoteng's actions. No one expected that this seemingly ordinary fellow would be the bravest of them all.
