44: Chapter 44 Peerless Hero

Qin Xiaobo was suppressing the toxins for the Luo Family Cultivators once again when her face suddenly turned pale as she looked toward the sky.

They really are back!

"It's that swarm of Soul-Devouring Beetles!" The Spirit Refining Cultivators of the Luo Family also quickly noticed the anomaly.

However, they did not panic too much.

"Everyone! At the critical moment, no one is allowed to fear death! We must protect the Eldest Young Miss at all costs!"

One of them roared loudly.

"Rest assured, Eldest Senior Brother!" The others responded one after another, all showing a look of readiness to face death.

Their emotions also influenced Qin Xiaobo, allowing her to calm down.

"Don't panic!" Luo Qingcheng flew in from the direction of the valley entrance.

"In these past few days, I have gained insights into a Formation that can perfectly hide our Auras!"

Luo Qingcheng had been clever and bright since she was a child; she could naturally think of the problems that Qin Xiaobo could foresee.

These past few days, she had been focusing on comprehending a minor Formation included within the Taiyin True Scripture.

"That's great! Eldest Young Miss, please set it up quickly!" Everyone was overjoyed.

The Soul-Devouring Beetles had very low intelligence; as long as they couldn't smell a living person's Aura, they would soon return to the depths of the Hundred Flowers Valley.

Luo Qingcheng shook her head, "I have already set it up near the valley entrance!"

"Sister Qingcheng, do you want to use the Soul-Devouring Beetles to break out?" Qin Xiaobo guessed her intention.

"Exactly. We will lure the Soul-Devouring Beetles to the valley entrance and then hide within the Formation. Once the swarm loses its target, it will definitely attack Mo Daoyun and his group!"

"At that time, even if they don't die, we can take the opportunity to charge out of the Hundred Flowers Valley!"

Luo Qingcheng explained her plan.

"Good! Excellent idea!"

"Eldest Young Miss is wise!"

...

Outside the Hundred Flowers Valley.

A group of people stared at the dark mass in the sky, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Mo Daoyun's eyes were full of excitement, "They're here! They're here!"

Not long after, the Soul-Devouring swarm flew into the valley, and only then did people begin to converse in hushed tones.

"This time, the Little Princess of the Luo Family is truly finished!"

"What should we do? Should we lend a hand?"

"Help? How? If it were Mo Daoyun and his four companions attacking, risking our lives might have some effect, but now it's such a massive swarm of Soul-Devouring Beetles!"

"What a pity for those two peerless beauties! By the way, do you know who the other woman is? Tsk tsk, that figure..."

...

Inside the Hundred Flowers Valley, a group of people looked up at the approaching swarm, extremely nervous.

"They're here! Now, run!" Luo Qingcheng shouted urgently as she saw the swarm suddenly turn and charge toward them.

Immediately, the twenty-odd Spirit Refining Cultivators of the Luo Family, who were afflicted by the beetle venom, squeezed out their last bit of strength and followed Luo Qingcheng and Qin Xiaobo toward the valley entrance.

The Soul-Devouring Beetles' flight speed wasn't particularly fast, but unfortunately, the group consisted entirely of wounded soldiers. By the time they reached the valley entrance, the beetle swarm was less than a hundred meters away.

"Hahaha..." Mo Daoyun's excitement was beyond words.

"They really did charge out! Three Fellow Daoists, help me block that little girl of the Luo Family for three breaths of time!"

Three breaths were enough for the Soul-Devouring Beetles to devour Luo Qingcheng's group completely.

"Alas! A pity, what a pity!" The Youth surnamed Li, who carried an evil Aura, shook his head and sighed softly.

Just as they were about to make a move, the group of people fleeing for their lives suddenly blurred and vanished without a trace!

"Uh... what's going on?" Mo Daoyun and the other three were all stunned.

The woman among the four had been hidden in the mist all along, her figure obscured.

At this moment, she noticed the anomaly.

"It's a Formation! They set up a Formation at that spot long ago, which can completely hide their presence and Aura!"

"What a clever and bright Prodigy of the Luo Family!"

Her words were filled with admiration.

"Run!" another male Cultivator, who had been taciturn, spoke up to warn them.

By now, the Soul-Devouring swarm, having lost its target, was flying toward the four of them!

"Let's go!" The three were about to leave.

"Wait!" Mo Daoyun said with a grim face, stopping the three.

"What? Fellow Daoist Mo, do you want to drag us down to die with you?" The Cultivator surnamed Li looked at him playfully.

The other two also faintly released their Auras. Their agreement with Mo Daoyun was only to provide minor assistance; it wouldn't be worth it if they had to risk their lives.

Mo Daoyun's expression froze, and he gave a couple of awkward laughs.

"The three Fellow Daoists misunderstand. I, Mo, would naturally not let you three take such risks."

A look of heartache appeared on his face. Finally, gnashing his teeth, he reached out and took out a transparent fruit.

In an instant, a thick, refreshing fragrance filled the air, making anyone who smelled it feel invigorated.

"Soul Fruit?!" They were all extraordinary individuals and quickly recognized what it was.

"Correct!" The heartache on Mo Daoyun's face deepened. "It is indeed a Soul Fruit, comparable to a Saint Medicine!"

"I'm sure you three know that this fruit can heal Soul injuries. Its other use..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he threw the Soul Fruit in his hand forcefully toward the spot where Luo Qingcheng's group had vanished.

"Hahaha... Luo Qingcheng! Die!"

Inside the Formation, Qin Xiaobo's face had already changed drastically when she saw Mo Daoyun take out the Soul Fruit from a distance!

"The Soul Fruit! It's the favorite food of the Soul-Devouring Beetles!"

Just as she finished speaking, the Soul Fruit slammed heavily onto the Formation and burst apart.

Immediately, the fragrance of the fruit overflowed!

Buzz!

The Soul-Devouring swarm seemed to have suddenly been injected with adrenaline, instantly changing direction and lunging straight toward the Formation's location!

"Junior Brothers and Sisters! Let's go!"

Seeing the Soul-Devouring Beetles flying across the sky, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Luo Family, who was in the Spirit Refining Realm, gave the command, and over twenty people struggled to fly into the high sky.

"Eldest Young Miss, go!"

"No! I won't!" Luo Qingcheng stared blankly as the situation reversed, filled with resentment.

"Hehehe... I win! In the end, I'm the winner!"

Not far away, Mo Daoyun's laughter was nearly manic.

Further away, sighs rang out one after another.

"It's over..."

"Who would have thought that Saint Mo Yun would have another trick up his sleeve!"

"Is a goddess of her generation really going to fall here?"

"Perhaps the Little Princess of the Luo Family can break through?"

"Break through? Falling into Mo Daoyun's hands while heavily injured would only be more painful than death!"

...

"Come down! I'll take you all and charge out!"

Luo Qingcheng was held back by Qin Xiaobo as she shouted urgently toward those above.

The Spirit Refining Cultivators of the Luo Family turned a deaf ear. They knew that unless they died, Luo Qingcheng would have no chance at all.

They were about to self-detonate!

Suddenly, a ball of fire appeared in front of them.

A ball of Five-Colored Flames!

Then, ten balls, a hundred, a thousand...

The flames completely surrounded the Soul-Devouring Beetle swarm.

In an instant, the swarm came to a complete halt. Looking closely, one could even see these beetles trembling.

It wasn't just the Soul-Devouring Beetles that were surrounded by flames; Mo Daoyun and his three companions were as well.

"This is... the Five-Colored Flames of the Seven-Ring Fire Domain?!"

Mo Daoyun's voice trembled, and he didn't dare to move an inch.

He had a feeling that just a small ball of Five-Colored Flames could instantly annihilate him.

"Which Senior is it? If this Junior has offended you in any way, please clarify!"

Mo Daoyun suppressed the indignation in his heart and spoke respectfully.

In his mind, the newcomer must be a powerhouse from some forbidden area within the Secret Realm.

Not just him, everyone else present thought the same.

Luo Qingcheng and Qin Xiaobo looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

They didn't understand why such a powerhouse would come to help them.

A cloud composed of Five-Colored Flames appeared out of thin air, with a man in white standing upon it, looking indescribably heroic and imposing.

Lin Bei had spent a long time conceptualizing his grand entrance.

He didn't notice that below, an alluring figure shrouded in mist was staring at him blankly.

The woman surrounded by flames along with Mo Daoyun had only the marriage divination her grandfather had performed for her on his deathbed in her mind right now.

"Yue'er, your husband will be a peerless hero. One day, he will step on Five-Colored Flames to come and burn you!"
