943: Golden Body vs. Fire Kirin Beast

Just as Ji Wuchang was engaging in a slaughter, Song Qianshang appeared at the crater.

Song Qianshang's expression was very grim. He had just instructed Yan Liang and Yang He to bring 'Chai Wudi' for the assessment, but he definitely hadn't meant for them to bring him here.

If Master Wu hadn't gone to find him, he wouldn't even have known those two fellows had actually brought the boy to this place.

Although he disliked this 'Chai Wudi' somewhat, he had no intention of taking his life.

"Chen Qirong, how is it?"

Anxiety flared in Song Qianshang's eyes. Upon arriving, he skipped all pleasantries and asked directly.

Chen Qirong was the name of the Master Chen standing before him.

Chen Qirong glanced at Song Qianshang, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes as he replied frostily, "The person is still inside. As for his specific condition, even I do not know!"

Song Qianshang stood at the crater. With a wave of his hand, the layer of Barrier covering the crater manifested.

Looking at the crisscrossing runes on the Barrier, Song Qianshang's face turned as dark as stagnant water.

However, he couldn't blame Chen Qirong for this; he could only curse Yan Liang and Yang He countless times in his heart.

If 'Chai Wudi' died here, Chai Wuzong would surely come for his life.

"Let's join forces and open this Barrier!"

Song Qianshang looked at Chen Qirong and spoke with a solemn expression.

Chen Qirong glanced at Song Qianshang, his brow furrowing slightly as he said indifferently, "Lord Dean, it's not as if you don't know the academy's rules!"

"Once an assessment begins, it cannot be terminated. Are you going to take the lead in violating them?"

"Furthermore, you were the one who had people send him here. You should be well aware of the consequences!"

"I will not violate the academy's rules. If you want someone to cooperate with you, go find another Master!"

Chen Qirong's words were icy. Song Qianshang's brow furrowed tightly, but he found himself unable to refute them.

"Chen Qirong, I truly didn't mean for this to happen. It was those two fools who took it upon themselves to bring him here!"

"I now command you, in my capacity as the Dean of the Li Academy, to cooperate with me and open this Barrier!"

Song Qianshang's tone was grave; he was truly desperate now!

Chen Qirong stared coldly at Song Qianshang. He could now be certain that what the other man was saying was likely the truth!

He didn't argue further. Instead, he gave a cold snort, took a step forward, and stood in the air above the crater's Barrier.

The two sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, their hands forming seals. Terrifying auras erupted from their bodies as they both pointed toward the Barrier below.

As their fingers descended, surging flames erupted from the Barrier. These flames condensed, actually forming a dense, intricate fire net.

Countless runes flowed across the fire net, continuously grinding away and neutralizing the auras of Song Qianshang and Chen Qirong.

The two were not surprised by this in the least. The spiritual energy within them surged even more violently, and the rampaging energy rushed out, heading straight for the fire net.

This spiritual energy contained a terrifying tearing force, intended to rip the fire net apart directly!

However, the fire net was exceptionally sturdy, and the surging flames below became even more violent, causing both men's expressions to turn extremely solemn.

They clearly felt the flames beneath the Barrier becoming more turbulent; this was not a good sign.

Because it meant that the person who had entered the Barrier could no longer withstand the incineration of the flames.

They had no idea that at this moment, Ji Wuchang was no longer down there.

He had long since followed a magma tunnel deep into the volcanic lava.

It was precisely because of his departure that the temperature in that space was gradually returning to normal and was now in a state of constant ascent.

Consequently, the difficulty for Song Qianshang and Chen Qirong to break through the crater's Barrier increased once more.

Ji Wuchang had now reached a corner. Even he didn't know how many Fire Qilin Beasts he had slain!

But he was certain it was at least over two thousand.

He rounded the corner and looked ahead, momentarily stunned. There was actually a massive lava pool here!

This lava pool was much larger than the one he had just been in, roughly the size of a football field.

He gazed at the lava pool with a solemn expression, for dozens of pairs of eyes were currently staring at him from within.

These eyes were cold and heartless, with flames flickering within them as if they could spit fire at any moment.

These were rank seven Fire Qilin Beasts—and not just one, but dozens of them!

Looking at these rank seven Fire Qilin Beasts, a hint of greed couldn't help but surface in Ji Wuchang's eyes.

If he could slaughter all these Fire Qilin Beasts, he could definitely refine quite a lot of Essence Blood.

At that moment, the Fire Qilin Beasts moved. Their mouths opened, and billowing lava surged toward Ji Wuchang like a torrential flood!

The lava was like a galloping river, radiating terrifying high temperatures, threatening to submerge Ji Wuchang directly.

Ji Wuchang's eyes brightened. Golden light surged over his body as he activated the Xuantian Vajra Body.

The Fire Qilin Beasts from before were a bit too weak; he truly had no desire to fight them seriously.

But the ones before him were different. Almost every single one possessed a pressure no weaker than the ninth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Coupled with the protection of their fiery-red scales, their Physical Body was exceptionally formidable, almost comparable to a half-step Supreme.

If there were only one, he naturally wouldn't care, but with dozens of them, it was perfect for testing his current combat strength!

He put away the Nameless Sword, his blood and Qi billowing within him as he threw a direct punch.

The golden fist expanded rapidly against the wind, colliding directly with the crimson lava.

With a thunderous boom, the lava exploded, flying in all directions!

Ji Wuchang took a step forward, appearing instantly beside a rank seven Fire Qilin Beast, and then smashed his fist down.

His fist glowed with brilliant golden light as it descended from above, ruthlessly slamming into the head of this rank seven fire beast.

A wretched scream tore from the Fire Qilin Beast's mouth as it was smashed deep into the lava by Ji Wuchang's single punch.

The massive lava pool exploded. Violent Protective Aura swept in all directions, directly blowing several nearby large Fire Qilin Beasts away.

Although the Fire Qilin Beast's scales were incredibly hard, Ji Wuchang's current punch was terrifyingly powerful.

That single punch had just shattered the Fire Qilin Beast's skull!

Right then, several roars rang out as over a dozen Fire Qilin Beasts charged at Ji Wuchang.

Their bodies expanded, and it looked as though flames were dancing upon their fiery-red scales!

They raised their claws—fiery-red talons that seemed ready to ignite—and swiped at Ji Wuchang!

Wherever the claws passed, the Void Realm actually distorted slightly!

Ji Wuchang looked at the Fire Qilin Beasts pouncing toward him, and excitement flared in his eyes. He shouted, "Good!"

He clenched both fists and unleashed the Great Sun Divine Fist. Golden light erupted from his body, turning even the great sun golden!

He threw both fists simultaneously, which transformed into two rounds of the sun. They cut through the Void Realm and collided directly with the dozen or so Fire Qilin Beasts!

With a massive boom, a violent aura swept through the surroundings, and surging flames flew in all directions!

The dozen or so Fire Qilin Beasts were all sent flying backward. Their claws exploded one after another, and pained roars filled the air!
