Chapter 619
“Caw!”
Just as Xiao Chen was in a daze and felt bitter in his heart, a loud bird cry came from the sky and interrupted Xiao Chen’s thoughts. Xiao Chen raised his head and looked over. It also attracted the attention of Ouyang Duannian and the others. Everyone’s expression changed.
High up in the sky, a giant golden bird appeared. This bird was about eight meters long, and the total length of its wings was ten meters. The feathers on its body seemed to be gilded, and under the light of the setting sun, it shone with a golden light. Many people’s eyes were like the Divine Golden Crow, dazzling to the extreme.
Such a giant bird was really rare. The uniqueness of the giant bird was just one aspect that shocked everyone. The other aspect was that they could feel how strong the giant bird was. Its speed was unparalleled and it felt like a streak of golden light piercing through the sky. The giant bird’s strength was at grade 7, maybe even stronger.
Also, there seemed to be three people standing on the giant bird and they were all quite strong. They were conservatively at the Dragon Elephant Realm, but they might have reached the Earth Dragon Realm. Another three experts had come.
Were they friend or foe?
Xiao Chen, Ouyang Duannian, and Blood Dragon were guessing in their hearts. This was very important to both sides. Now that both sides were pretty much evenly matched, if one side added three strong warriors, the balance of strength would be tilted towards that side, which could change the final outcome of the battle.
“Kong!”
The Lion King also felt that the giant bird wasn’t easy to deal with. He raised his head and roared at the giant bird. It was filled with a sense of challenge. It seemed like beast kings would have enmity with one another and when they met, they would be jealous. It was best to have a life and death battle to decide who was stronger.
“Brother The Lion King, the Golden Roc is my mount. We are on the same side.”
Xiao Haoran heard the Lion King’s roar and explained politely. He actually called the Lion King brother. He was also Xiao Chen’s Uncle Haoran and the Lion King was Xiao Chen’s second brother. Their relationship was a mess.
“On the same side?”
Xiao Chen was relieved. He reached out his right hand and stroked the Lion King’s left foreleg, signaling for the Lion King to relax.
It wasn’t that Xiao Chen only liked to touch the Lion King’s legs, but that he couldn’t touch the Lion King’s head. One had to know that the Lion King was six feet tall, and just the height of his limbs was almost ten feet.
If the Lion King didn’t lower his head, Xiao Chen wouldn’t be able to reach the Lion King’s head at all unless he jumped up.
“This situation isn’t good …” Ouyang Duannian and Blood Dragon looked at one another and saw the uneasiness in each other’s eyes. Half of their men died and Xiao Chen had more and more men. Moreover, all of them were experts. They started to feel a sense of danger.
Ouyang Duannian and Blood Dragon both had thoughts of retreating but they couldn’t bring themselves to do so. Thus, they braced themselves and stood on the spot. However, they had already planned that if they realized that they weren’t Xiao Chen’s match, they would flee right away. After all, their lives were more valuable than their face. If they lost their lives, then what was the point of having face?
“Qiu!”
“Xiu!”
The Golden Roc in the sky had a sharp gaze. Clearly, it had discovered Xiao Haoran who was on the ground. It let out a cheerful cry and circled around in the sky before it dived down towards its master. Its speed was unparalleled. Unless one was in the Dracophant Realm or above, it would be impossible to catch its figure.
“Pu teng!”
“Hu hu!”
With the Golden Roc’s speed, it reached 100,000 feet in just 10 breaths. When it was 500 feet from the ground, the Golden Roc suddenly slowed down. It flapped its wings and slowly and steadily descended 200 feet. Then, it didn’t descend anymore and just floated in the air.
“Xiu xiu!”
A white-haired old man and a red-haired old man fell from the Golden Roc’s back and landed steadily on the ground. They didn’t immediately run to Xiao Haoran’s side and instead waited for the white-haired pretty boy who hadn’t come down yet.
The white-haired man was incomparably handsome. His waist-length white hair was naturally draped over his back, fluttering in the wind. He was roughly in his forties, but he looked to be in his thirties. His cultivation was conservatively estimated to be above the Dragon Elephant Realm, giving off an unfathomable feeling.
“After 10 years, I, Xue Wuhen, have finally returned. Is Yufeng okay?
Sigh. ”
The white-haired man indifferently surveyed the surrounding scenery. His face was calm, but his deep and enchanting eyes were filled with melancholy and vicissitudes of life. He sighed with a deep and magnetic male voice. After that, he flew down like an immortal and landed lightly beside the two old men who were waiting for him. He apologetically said, “Elder Sha, Elder Huo, I’ve made you wait for a long time. Come, let’s go.”
Xue Wuhen?
This self-proclaimed Xue Wuhen was extremely handsome and unbelievably beautiful. How could this white-haired man have the same name as the Alchemy Saint Xue Wuhen?
Could he be the famous Alchemy Saint Xue Wuhen?
He mentioned the name Yufeng earlier. Could he be referring to the other Alchemy Saint of the continent, Ouyang Yufeng?
This was very possible. Who would have thought that the Xue Wuhen who was scolded by Ouyang Yufeng day and night as a heartless man would actually mix together with the Xiao Clan’s remaining forces?
Why did Xue Wuhen abandon the incomparably beautiful Ouyang Yufeng for more than 10 years? Perhaps only the people involved knew the reason behind it. However, from his sigh, it was clear that he was still thinking about Ouyang Yufeng.
They were obviously a pair of lovers, but they had to endure the pain of separation. Moreover, it was a separation of 10 years. This lovesickness was really bitter and very pitiful.
Xue Wuhen and Ouyang Yufeng were the only two Alchemy Saints in the continent. Originally, it was a suitable thing for them to be in love. However, this pair of immortal companions were separated for 10 years. If it wasn’t for their fault and Ouyang Tiande’s fault, then Ouyang Tiande truly deserved to die.
Fortunately, Ouyang Tiande was now dead. After this battle, Xue Wuhen could go look for Ouyang Yufeng. At that time, the lovers would finally be together.
“Plop!”
The distance of 30 zhang was very short. Xue Wuhen and the other two quickly walked to Xiao Haoran’s side. The three of them didn’t salute Xiao Haoran and only nodded in acknowledgment. They then walked to the front of Xiao Chen and knelt down on one knee in unison.
“Subordinate Sha Tian greets Young Master!”
“Subordinate Sha Tian greets Young Master!”
“Subordinate Xue Wuhen greets Young Master!”
“Sha Tian?
Sha Tian?
Xue Wuhen!
Ah?
This … ”
Xiao Chen saw the three experts kneeling in front of him. Among them, Sha Tian was his old friend. It was his first time meeting Sha Tian and Xue Wuhen. However, Xue Wuhen’s name was well-known. As long as it was a martial artist of the Huangshen Continent, they would have heard of the name Xue Wuhen. Xiao Chen was surprised again and again and was at a loss of what to do.
“Hahaha!”
