Chapter 28: The Treasure Snatcher

  Ignoring the pain in his arm, Lu Fan's feet moved swiftly, and flames rose from his body.

  Inferno Crumbling Mountain Fist.

  One punch hit the dagger that was rushing over, and Lu Fan suddenly felt a strong spiral force, passing through his fist into his meridians.

  His entire body shook violently as Lu Fan was once again divided into several parts. The power of the peak of the inner vortex and that of the first layer of the inner vortex were still worlds apart.

  This time, Lu Fan heavily smashed onto the stone tablet. His entire body was embedded into the stone tablet.

  The girl was punched by Lu Fan and retreated several steps, the dagger condensed in her hand also became slightly illusory.

  Lu Fan felt a slight sweetness in his throat, and a surge of blood was rushing up. But he still forced himself to swallow the blood back down.

  The whole body's fiery light has been withdrawn, leaving only a layer of aura flowing.

  The girl only carefully sized up Lu Fan at this time, saying: "Your aura is so weak, yet you can still block my attack, not bad. Hmm, why does your aura look like that."

  The girl walked up quickly when she saw something different about Lu Fan's "Gang Jing".

  Lu Fan's gaze swept through the cave, his current strength was probably no match for this girl. The only chance was to quickly find the Ice Heart Meteorite and escape.

  Suddenly, Lu Fan saw a small pile of ice-blue stones among a heap of shiny things.

  There is no doubt that this is indeed an ice core meteorite.

  Lu Fan took a deep breath, and at this moment, the girl had already walked in front of him.

  In an instant, Lu Fan leaped out, raised his hand and threw a punch.

  Doomsday Crumbling Mountain Fist!

  The girl seemed to have not thought that Lu Fan still had the power to counterattack, and in her haste, she suddenly transformed into a residual shadow, and two identical girls appeared in front of Lu Fan in an instant.

  One fist fell empty, and Lu Fan paused for a moment in mid-air.

  The afterimage disappeared, and the girl turned around to make a swift slash, but just as she did, Lu Fan's foot unexpectedly stepped on her dagger.

  This is exactly what I wanted, a chance to strike back for the girl.

  Seizing the opportunity and borrowing strength, Lu Fan seemed to shoot out like a bolt of lightning.

  Arriving above the ice core meteorite, Lu Fan grasped one with his hand and was about to use the momentum to rush out of the cave. However, at this moment, he felt that the ice core meteorite in his left hand couldn't be lifted, as if it was stuck by something.

  Lu Fan's momentum suddenly stopped, and he halted on top of the treasure pile.

  Turning his head, a small dog with short front legs tightly hugged the Ice Heart Meteorite and bared its teeth at Lu Fan.

  Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, and this little dog actually had such great strength. Moreover, he had seen this short-legged dog before. Wasn't it the one he met when he was practicing in Xishan before the annual festival? It seemed to have grown a lot bigger. There was also a layer of black light on its body.

  Lu Fan was shocked, and a strong gust of wind came again from behind him.

  The girl who was cleverly calculated by Lu Fan became somewhat annoyed, and she couldn't even deal with a guy with one inner layer. Her peak inner layer cultivation seemed to be in vain.

  The dagger shone with a bright red light, and the girl used her own killer move.

  Phoenix Dance of the Ninth Heaven!

  One slash cuts through the sky!

  The airflow in front of the dagger began to fluctuate violently, and such a killing move would be extremely difficult for Lu Fan to resist even with his dragon tribe's blood skin protection.

  The killer move had yet to land on his body, but Lu Fan was already being battered by a powerful gust of air that made his skin ache.

  Just then, the short-legged dog suddenly let out a clear howl. Immediately afterwards, a black flame spewed from the small dog's mouth.

  Liu Fan's body was suddenly engulfed in a terrifying black flame that caused him immense pain, forcing him to hastily let go.

  The girl who rushed over was also scorched by the black flames, and the dagger in her hand that had been strengthened by her spiritual energy was directly incinerated.

  A scream, and the girl retreated in succession. The terrifying black flame was like a maggot on her ankle bone, and it actually started burning her armor.

  A thick, substantial aura of killing intent was burning fiercely around the girl's body, visible to the naked eye. It didn't disappear until it had burned down to a thin layer, and then the dark flames vanished.

  Lu Fan felt a bit better, his aura seemed to be quite afraid of the black flames, with a burst of aura, the black flames were quickly extinguished.

  Moreover, with the dragon tribe's bloodline in him, Lu Fan could see his burned parts rapidly recovering.

  The girl was already scared and didn't dare to move forward, but the little dog had no intention of letting her go. Suddenly, two flame wings emerged from its back, supporting the little dog as it flew up.

  At this time, Lu Fan could confirm that this little dog must have had the blood of the dragon clan, because it actually let out a dragon roar at this moment.

  Although the sound is not loud, the momentum has already been formed.

  A dark flame gathered in its mouth, and the little dog targeted the girl.

  At this moment, fear had already appeared in the girl's eyes, and she absolutely could not withstand the flames' impact on the little dog.

  The girl turned into a faint shadow once again at this moment.

  But this time, the flames spewed out by the little dog were not a straight line. In an instant, the entire cave was transformed into a sea of fire that filled the sky.

  Black flames rolled over, Lu Fan put all his aura on the surface of his body.

  Black flames intertwined with his aura, Lu Fan could smell his own body becoming charred.

  Damn it, this dog is actually so fierce.

  Suddenly a painful cry came from behind, Lu Fan turned his head to look, and saw the shadow of a girl in the black flames, appearing and disappearing.

  The girl somehow hid behind him without knowing when.

  Lu Fan was able to guess the girl's thoughts, which were nothing more than wanting him to be a meat shield and help block the flames. However, she never expected that what he brought out was a sea of fire.

  Lu Fan saw that the girl had already fallen to the ground, apparently unable to hold on any longer.

  He gritted his teeth, damn it, he couldn't bear to see a woman die in front of him. He rushed forward and hugged the girl into his arms.

  His aura can't be released as far as the outer boundary of Wu, and the range that can be covered is very close. So, Lu Fan hugged the girl tightly, and for a while, Lu Fan didn't even notice that his palm was on someone's buttocks, and he was grasping it hard.

  In an instant, the black flame retracted, and Lu Fan felt that he should be familiar with it, because he smelled a scent of roasted meat.

  The little dog flying in mid-air fell to the ground, and the dark flame wings behind it had disappeared.

  The little dog spat out two black smoke rings and lay on the ground as if dead, motionless.

  The entire treasure of the cave was melted away by more than half. Lu Fan felt that he couldn't move anymore, and every movement would cause his whole body to feel like it was being torn apart in pain.

  The girl stared at Lu Fan with her eyes wide open, but she didn't move either, because she had exhausted all her strength and was still in a state of syncope.

  Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded outside, and a figure rushed in like the wind.

  It was Lu Fan's master, Wu Chen!

  Seeing Lu Fan in such a state, Wu Chen was shocked and hastily stepped forward, saying: "Lu Fan, what's wrong with you?"

  Lu Fan's body couldn't move, but he could still speak, slowly saying: "Master, I'm fine, just got burned. You quickly take the things."

  Wu Chen immediately took off the ring on Lu Fan's hand and rummaged through the remaining treasures.

  It's clear that Wu Chen is also an old hand at searching, his movements quick and efficient. With a wave of his hand, piece after piece of things poured into the ring.

  After everything was swept away, Wu Chen raised his hand and injected a stream of Qi into Lu Fan's body.

  Originally, Lu Fan's body was already in a state of exhaustion, but with the support of this Qi, he suddenly felt that he could move again.

  His body made a popping sound like beans bursting, and Lu Fan first put the girl down.

  Looking at the pale girl, Lu Fan said softly: "Sorry. I also need the things here."

  Wu Chen said: "Lu Fan, let's go. I just diverted that old man who had reached the Yin-Yang boundary away for a while. He will be back soon."

  Lu Fan nodded and walked out in big strides. As he passed by the little dog, Lu Fan seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then, he directly picked up the little dog.

  "Let's go."

  Lu Fan spoke up.

  Wu Chen grabbed Lu Fan's shoulder and quickly disappeared into the wind.

  The two quickly exited the cave and rushed into the mountain forest. As soon as they landed, they saw a black and white light flashing back, directly entering the cave.

  The two of them immediately sped away.

  Inside the cave, the old man anxiously shouted: "Huan Yue, Huan Yue."

  Suddenly, the old man saw the figure of Huan Yue lying on the ground, and quickly stepped forward, placing one hand on Huan Yue's forehead.

  "It's okay, it's okay, I just fainted."

  The old man's face lit up with joy, a strand of black and white aura surged in, and Huan Yue immediately let out a soft cry: "Stupid Master, why did you only come now?"

  The old man looked embarrassed and said, "I didn't expect it either. The other side made such a big deal out of it, but it's just an empty show."

  Huan Yue slowly sat up and said: "You can't even understand such a simple 'Tiger Leaving the Mountain', yet you're a strong practitioner of the Yin-Yang realm. It's really embarrassing for me."

  The old man's face turned bright red with anger. Huan Yue pointed inside the cave and said, "Now it's all over. The treasure has been taken away by others. We didn't get anything."

  The old man turned his head to look at the empty dragon's lair, sighed and said: "If we can't get it, then we can't get it. Besides, it's not certain that the treasure we want is here either. Did you see any weapons just now?"

  "Hmm, I don't know," said Huan Yue thoughtfully. "Master, what exactly is your weapon? You've refused to say the whole way here."

  The old man said helplessly: "I don't know either. All I know is that the divine weapon of a peak expert has appeared here. As for which specific peak expert it belongs to, no one knows."

  "Where did you hear that news?"

  "The old man said slowly: 'Your Uncle Long told me.'"

  Huan Yue was suddenly shocked and said: "It can't be that Uncle Long saw it from reading the stars?"

  The old man nodded and said, "I reckon it's about 80% likely."

  The whole Moon felt unwell and shouted: "Stupid Master, Uncle Long's words about the stars can also be believed by you. You are really a stupid master."

  The old man touched his nose and said: "You, Dragon Uncle, sometimes still see things quite accurately."

  She walked out with her mouth pouting and a huffy face.

  The old man slightly furrowed his brow and muttered, "This doesn't feel right. Why did Huan Yue have such a big temper today? Did something happen?"

  。。。。。

  He ran dozens of miles away, and Lu Fan let out a sigh of relief. He first threw the little dog that had fainted to one side, then sat down on the ground with a thud.

  Wu Chen stood beside him and handed the ring to Lu Fan, saying: "Take a look at this time's harvest."

  Lu Fan took out the ring and started taking things out. First, he took out the Ice Heart Meteorite. The two of them looked at the icy blue stone, both with big smiles on their faces.

  Suddenly, Lu Fan saw something.

  "Huh? There's actually another sword here!"

  Slowly, Lu Fan drew out a pitch-black and extremely heavy sword from the ring. As soon as he grasped it, Lu Fan felt that all the aura in his body was suppressed.

  This is...
