Chapter 1163: Chapter 1163: Don’t Be a Coward, Just Do It

Beings of the sky and the earth, Fire Elemental Spirits crowd together, forming a sea of bodies.

"Ah!" Even the always-composed Yu Ye showed a look of surprise at this scene.

"Isn’t this too many?"

"I think there are even more coming."

Following your pointing finger, everyone saw that the Flame Passage extending from the sky was right in the middle of the valley. The entrance to the Flame Passage was two meters high, and some irritable Fire Elemental Spirits were still flying out of it.

"It seems those robbers won’t be needing our attention after all." As you point out, everyone noticed a large group of Fire Spirits launching an attack on a group of people.

"How could this happen?" Two of the villagers leading the way were also shocked and dismayed. "Fire Spirits may be temperamental, but they never attack humans proactively. What on earth did they do?"

"You can tell by the Fire Crystal that guy is holding in his hand." Yu Ye pointed to a young man surrounded by robbers in the distance, who had starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows, looking handsome and dashing. However, his face was flushed with panic at the moment, clearly shocked by the scene before him.

"They’re so fast. We haven’t been in the village for long, and I didn’t expect them to have crossed the valley already."

The robbers are dwindling in number, while more and more Fire Spirits are appearing, and some of them have noticed your group, swarming towards you.

"This is bad, let’s head back to the village quickly!"

You were just about to turn around when you discovered another large group of Black Flag Stronghold robbers appearing behind you, led by the Second Master and Beautiful Lady Hua Jieyu who had been pursuing you.

"Oh, what a coincidence to run into each other here." Hua Jieyu was about to banter with you, but then she noticed a dozen or so Fire Spirits flying out from behind your group.

"Demon Archer!"

Second Master immediately drew his Treasured Sword. Behind him, two rows of archers equipped with sterling blue magic bows stood ready, firing Water Magic Arrows at the dozen or so Fire Spirits flying towards them.

Second Master came prepared this time. Once the Water Magic Arrows were fired, the struck Fire Spirits trembled in the air and then turned into black ash, scattering in the heated mountain breeze.

"This is trouble; these don’t look like ordinary robbers." Xing Kong noticed that the robbers were well-equipped and armed with fine weapons, and there was no way you six could match them.

"Shoot them dead!"

"Wait a minute!" You hastily shouted; you didn’t want to be turned into a porcupine. "If you have spare time, how about going to rescue that guy called the Fire Demon? He doesn’t look like he’s going to last much longer."

"Huh?" Upon hearing the name Fire Demon, Second Master and Hua Jieyu’s expressions changed immediately, and they really did let you six go, hurrying up to the top of a small hill.

"Shield bearers to the front, archers cover from the back, we must rescue Fire Demon!" Seeing that only a few people remained around Fire Demon, Second Master decisively issued an accurate command.

"Yes!" About a hundred Heavy Armored Pike Soldiers quickly formed ranks, creating a wedge-shaped formation, and, taking advantage of the slope, charged towards where Fire Demon was located. Second Master, with his sword drawn, followed behind the squad and with every swing, many Fire Spirits were reduced to ashes.

"That sword is no ordinary item. It’s surprising that a mere Black Flag Stronghold possesses such treasure, no wonder they could maintain their presence in the southwest for decades."

As for Hua Jieyu, the long whip in her hand was also a fine example of its kind. With each sweep of her whip, a gust of air was generated that pushed the Fire Spirits back several meters.

Watching the two fight, you couldn’t help feeling a bit gloomy.

You had thought that with the help of the Seal of Truesky and Yun Xiao’s body, it would be easy to join the ranks of the experts. However, you never imagined that you wouldn’t even measure up to Black Flag Stronghold’s two leaders.

Although you carried a Demigodly Artifact on your back, with your current strength, you could only unleash a small part of Tusks’ power; at most, it could kick up some dust, with no lethal force to speak of.

When you confronted the Second Master in front of Moyun Village, if it weren’t for the Seal of Truesky, and if the Second Master had known the depth of your abilities, you likely would have been utterly defeated.

Seeing your face change erratically, Xing Kong couldn’t help but ask, "Mu Yun, what’s wrong?"

"I’m fine."

You shook your head, while inwardly sighing, "Ah, it was so tough to acquire the complete spells and cultivation methods for close combat magic, and now I’m like a headless dog that has lost its home, only able to rely on the Seal of Truesky to flee for my life. Tsk, if I could find the Veins of Elements as mentioned in the ’God of War’, then I could absorb magical elements swiftly. Now with Yun Xiao’s body strong enough, it’s time I started to cultivate close combat magic."

"We should leave quickly. Once those robbers circle back, we’ll be in trouble; they’re even more formidable than the regular army," Xing Kong said, suggesting a retreat seeing that their side stood no chance.

You hadn’t spoken yet when Yu Ye, looking up at the Demon Clouds above, let out a deep sigh: "If I’m not wrong, this Demon Cloud should be the legendary Fire Element Vein. It seems Black Flag Stronghold is ready to set up a stronghold here. If this continues..."

"Wait a second, what did you just say?" you turned to Yu Ye and asked.

"...I, I just said Black Flag Stronghold is planning to establish a base here," Yu Ye said, a bit surprised at your reaction.

"No, not that, I mean what you said before that. You said this Demon Cloud is the Fire Element Vein," you clarified.

"Yes, that should be correct. Every Vein of Elements produces crystalline bodies, and that Fire Crystal is the best proof," Yu Ye answered.

You fell silent for a while, as an intense struggle arose in your heart.

"Mu Yun, hurry up!"

Xing Kong’s cry snapped you back to reality as he noticed that the Second Master and Hua Jieyu were already circling back to protect the Fire Demon and head their way.

From afar, in the Second Master’s eyes, you saw a look of "contempt," his lips curling into a smirk as if to say, "Hmph, run, run, run like a drenched dog!"

"Huh!" A surge of unprecedented vigor shot from your feet to your head, your body trembled slightly, and you let out a growl like a wild beast. This look was all too familiar to you; to think that you, with a Demi-god Body, would have to suffer such indignity here. No one would be pleased with that!

Your fists clenched tightly, and your nails had already dug into your flesh, drawing out Yanhong blood.

"Mu Yun! What are you doing!" Xing Kong shouted, while at that moment, Yu Ye had already run off carrying Su Su.

What’s that saying again?

Don’t be a coward, just do it!

"Brother."

You suddenly lifted your head and showed Xing Kong a slight smile, "Take good care of Su Su for me."
