Team Up

"Deal! We will deal with this devil beast first!" When the Mountain Walker heard that Zhou Qing was willing to cooperate with it, it grinned. It immediately accepted Zhou Qing's offer, as the devil beast was what it was most afraid of right now.

As Tang Peng increasingly overwhelmed Zhou Qing with his ferocious attacks, he suddenly felt something pull his tails. The Mountain Walker was grabbing his tails, using its massive strength to try and pull them off.

"Anyone that dares to hurt me, shall die!" The space between the horns charged up with Yin Qi again, which was fired at the Mountain Walker. This time, the Mountain Walker could not avoid it, and the blast pierced through its tough defence, directly damaging its organs.

"Strike now!" Even when the Mountain Walker was roaring in pain, it shouted out the words between the roars.

"I know what to do, you don't need to say anything! War Commandment: Dragon's Breath!" The green spear in Zhou Qing's hand dissipated into Qi, which then infused into his mouth. His head then completely turned into a green dragon's head, before breathing out large amounts of Yang Fire.

The Yang Fire became tiny balls of fire, which exploded on the area around of them when they made contact with an object. Since the Yang Fire came from the Green Dragon's bloodline, it was exceptionally potent as a result. It was as if fire itself had been compressed and had become the sun as a result.

"DEATH!" Tang Peng screamed as the Yang Fire burned its way past his defences. The tails merged back into one elongated tail, which had a needle at the end, just like a scorpion's tail.

For a person that was currently very heavy, Tang Peng was surprisingly not at all bogged down by his weight. Instead, he seemed to become faster through the change. He moved out of the zone that was lit alight by Zhou Qing, and got closer to Zhou Qing within a few breaths.

"Tick! Tick! Tick!" Tang Peng's tail created a ticking sound as it started to attack the area around Zhou Qing. Whenever the tail hit an object, a black ooze was released. The black ooze covered the surface of the ground, and following that, the ground dried up, producing a rotting smell.

"Galaxy Rotation." Through utilising the natural rotation of his own Rotating Core, Zhou Qing managed to raise this Army Soldier level Qi Technique's level, allowing him to rotate his body and avoid every strike of Tang Peng.

"You will never be able to catch me, stupid brute." Zhou Qing smirked as he saw Tang Peng slamming the ground repeatedly. He was confident that the devil descendant's attacks could never reach him.

However, the black ooze stayed on the ground, so as Tang Peng continued to hit the ground, the patches of black ooze grew larger and larger, until it covered the entire ground around Zhou Qing.

"No way! How could you spread it so fast!" Zhou Qing's eyes nearly bulged out after seeing how quickly the black ooze spread across the ground. This was clearly the devil descendant's ploy to trap him inside this black ooze.

Just when the black ooze was going to cover the spot Zhou Qing was standing, the Mountain Walker swiped at Tang Peng, making him stumble a little bit. This allowed a short window for Zhou Qing to leap up from the spot he was standing, and cling onto a nearby mountain with his hands.

"Finally! Mountain Walker, you should have helped earlier!" An expression of annoyance appeared on Zhou Qing's face. He could have nearly died from the devil descendant's attack there.

"I'm attacking him, that's enough for you, right? Come help me here. I need help with the devil beast." The Mountain Walker focused on dodging Tang Peng's attacks, while attacking minimally. The power behind each of Tang Peng's strikes were not to be taken lightly.

"Hmph! The way I see it, the both of you are already marked for death! The devil descendant is already feeling the effects of the Yang Fire Baptism! You can't even hold against the weakened devil descendant. I might as well finish the both of you."

"I should have known you would have done this! Why did I trust you?" The Mountain Walker itself also did not know why it trusted an enemy. Its personality was of a very cautious nature. That's why it always stayed in the Lang Tian mountains, unwilling to provoke more powerful existences than it.

"Eat this blow! For Tai Qi and the elders, both of you will suffer the true wrath of a dragon. Dragon God V2!" The green Qi assembled to form a spear higher than a mountain. This spear that reached the cloud, was aimed at Tang Peng and the Mountain Walker. Zhou Qing planned to skewer both of them with this strike!

The spear shot forward, boosted by the speed of a dragon. Even though Mountain Walker could see the spear moving at slow motion towards it, it had no time to deal with the spear. The devil beast went into an extremely aggressive state, so it had to now consciously fend off attacks, causing it to suffer damage to its claws.

Even as Tang Peng was attacking the Mountain Walker, his movements started to slow down. The Yang Fire has clearly taken its toll on him, but as he had lost his marbles through the full activation of Yin Grudge Form, he did not care, continuously attacking the Mountain Walker.

Upon seeing the devil beast start to weaken, the Mountain Walker took its chance to climb away. It was now or never, since it knew that if it got caught by the spear, the spear would exacerbate its injuries, and it could die on the spot!

However, Tang Peng relentlessly chased after the Mountain Walker, unwilling to let it escape. Tang Peng bent his knees, before he flew up high into the sky through an explosive jump. He then reappeared on Mountain Walker's back, slamming it and pinning it onto the ground.

"Even if you don't want to survive, don't drag me down with you!" The Mountain Walker started to wriggle under the strength of Tang Peng. As a response, Tang Peng used its tail to slowly stab the Mountain Walker. Both of them started to weaken immensely as the green spear changed direction in order to hit them both.

"This cannot be! This will not be! I will not die to such beings. I am the beast destined to stay on top of beings like you!" The Mountain Walker cried out in its last moments, as it was pierced by the Dragon God V2 along with Tang Peng.

Two golden soul flames emerged from the Mountain Walker's body, which was quickly absorbed by Tang Peng's soul. Once inside Tang Peng's soul, the two flames hungrily devoured the other soul flame inside, before feeding on each other.

Tang Peng tried to rise up from the dead Mountain Walker, but the Dragon God V2 did not let him. Eventually, due to the Yang Qi continuously emitting inside his body, Tang Peng fainted and reverted back to his normal self.

Zhou Qing felt that both the devil descendant and the Mountain Walker was dead, so the spear dissipated and reformed as Qi threads in his hands. The Qi threads then was sent out to explore the dead bodies for their Rotating Cores.

"This is weird..." Zhou Qing was surprised, as he could not even feel the trace of a Rotating Core inside the devil descendant's body. How did the devil descendant achieve such power then? If the devil descendant has continued to grow, this would have spelled great trouble for the Five Stars Continent. He was lucky to have snuffed it out at the cradle.

Zhou Qing then proceeded to extract the Rotating Core from the Mountain Walker, before he zoomed back to the inner boundary of the Dragonic Sect. He did not know that there were actually people who had listened to their battle.

"This is big! Zhou Qing, the famed Dragon's Left-Hand, actually fought beings on par with him!" "Not only that, there was a Rank 5 Beast and devil descendant involved!" "Didn't you hear what they said? Tai Qi and Liu En are dead! This is the perfect time for us to loot them!"

The Rotating Core Realm disciples of the Nine Step Sect had heard everything with their advanced senses. This was the first time they had experienced such a battle on this scale. Not only did the sect leaders of two major sects die, but there were more Astral Projection level beings involved.

"Quiet! We must report this to Sect Leader immediately!" A voice of reason rang out among the chorus of voices. However, Peng Xiu's face betrayed his calm voice. He was worried about the repercussions if this information was released.

The four major sects had kept each other in check for centuries. Now that two of those sects have been crippled, there was bound to have a war to become the main faction in Five Stars Continent!
